Ms. Niu thought that she had agreed to what she instructed. So, she nodded and said, “Let’s eat dinner. Ms. Zhang, what are you waiting for? Go and prepare dinner!”
Ms. Zhang was completely annoyed. Ms. Yan was the newly-wedded daughter-in-law and she should work, not her!
Ms. Zhang sneaked a glance at Ms. Yan, indicating that she should offer to make dinner.
If Ms. Yan understood the rules, she would take over now.
But Ms. Yan ignored her glance and greeted Ms. Niu before heading back to her room.
Ms. Niu scolded Ms. Zhang for not complying with her wishes.
Ms. Zhang lowered her head and left angrily. She cursed Ms. Yan inside her heart.
Ms. Yan had made up her mind to hang out with the first section of the family. When she was not that busy, she would visit the first section of the family whenever she had time.
Ms. Niu did not like it at the beginning, but Ms. Yan said that she was a newly-wedded daughter-in-law who should hang out with neighbors and relatives. She said that she could even try to see what the first section of the family was busy with. Maybe they could learn about how to make a fortune.
Ms. Niu felt that her words made sense. So, she ignored her visits after that.
Ms. Yan was good with needles and threads. Ms. Xu and Yang Xiaoni were both bad at it. So was Ms. Qiao who could not even make the soles.
Ms. Fang spoke highly of Ms. Yan’s skills of needles and threads to which Ms. Yan smiled modestly, and offered that she could teach Taotao. Ms. Fang was happy about it. She accepted the offer readily.
In this way, Ms. Yan spent even more time at the first section of the family’s home.
For days, Ms. Yan was having a good time with the first section of the family, and Taotao improved a lot under her guidance. She liked this patient and gentle cousin-in-law. Ms. Xu was a little defensive but she did not think this girl was up to anything bad.
Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang felt that Ms. Yan seemed to be a little different from the others in the second section of the family.
Ms. Fang sighed. Silang was an alright husband. But Ms. Niu and the second son of the family were really annoying. She wondered if Ms. Yan could tolerate living with them for long.
Though it seemed that Ms. Niu could not control her, which Ms. Fang found to be strange.
Ms. Yan taught Taotao how to work the needles and threads, so Ms. Fang asked her to stay for lunch.
Ms.Yan had turned down the offer in the beginning, but started staying back later on.
The food served at the first section of the family was much better than that at the second section of the family. Even a single dish of cooked vegetables had a lot of taste, which made Ms. Yan feel so jealous.
Yang Xiaoni was bad at needles and threads, but the materials used by her were excellent. Taotao had many things with her, which made Ms. Yan feel even more envious.
She swore to herself that she was going to live a better life.
One day when Ms. Yan returned home, she heard her second sister-in-law whispering to her mother-in-law. She leaned forward and tried to hear the conversation.
After a while, she frowned and got really furious!
Ms. Zhang, that bitch, was trying to make her mother-in-law take away her dowry!
She knew what kind of family Ms. Zhang was from.
Ms. Yan, who grew up in a family filled with love, just did not understand how a man could be so useless that he had to be supported by his married sisters.
In her opinion, a man should be able to support the whole family, protect his parents, his wife and siblings.
Girls should not have to do anything like this.. They should just have fun!
