Chapter 33 - 33 33 Chicken Fly Dog Jump_1
33: Chapter 33 Chicken Fly Dog Jump_1 33: Chapter 33 Chicken Fly Dog Jump_1 Lady Li became timid, but couldn’t suppress her gossipy nature, “Mother, there’s quite a commotion at the Wang family.”
Zhulan, “….”
She just couldn’t stand this about Lady Li, always rushing towards any commotion.
Seeing that her mother-in-law wasn’t paying any attention to her, Lady Li, who was quite keen, quickly took over the chives, “Mother, let me pick them.”
“Hmm.”
Zhulan also reached out to help.
Even though she had become the original person, she couldn’t just do nothing.
She had helped her grandmother pick them in modern times, and Zhulan was quite fast at it, intentionally ignoring Lady Li all the while.
Lady Li, feeling stifled, asked, “Mother, are we frying the chives with eggs at noon?”
“Wait for the eldest to return.
We’ll fry chives with river shrimp.”
Lady Li’s hand paused.
The river shrimp were small and didn’t have much meat, and cooking them well would use up too much oil.
Usually, the children would catch them to feed the chickens, and few households would cook them, but when well prepared, they were indeed delicious.
However, the recent meals had been too lavish.
She moved her mouth but didn’t dare to speak up, remembering the last time the grandmother had scolded her for it.
It suddenly dawned on Lady Li.
Mother had been much kinder to Lady Zhao lately, even going to the second son’s room today.
Mother was sending her a message, wasn’t she?
She was saying that the house had two daughters-in-law, and if she didn’t behave, someone else would.
A cold sweat broke out on her back as she carefully recalled recent events.
She had been getting a little too above herself lately, and it scared her!
Zhulan waited a long time without hearing Lady Li speak again, and when she glanced over, Lady Li was crouching like a quail, “….”
What was she concocting in her mind this time?
The two of them picked chives quickly.
Zhulan cut quite a lot, with half for river shrimp at noon and the other half for eggs in the evening.
Zhulan saw Lady Li pursing her lips, looking like she absolutely couldn’t speak and mustn’t speak, her hands twisting together.
It was really hard for this woman to hold back her words, and it was distressing to watch.
“Alright, go ahead and speak!” Zhulan said.
With a grin, Lady Li spoke now that her mother-in-law had given her permission, “Mother, Wang Ru’s third daughter is something else, who knew she was so capable?
We can’t let our sister-in-law associate with that girl in the future.
She’s got a wicked streak.”
Zhulan, “….Hmm”
As Lady Li spoke, she gestured with her hands, “That girl dared to ask Wang Zhang’s wife for money.
When she refused, it caused a scene, angering Wang Zhang’s wife who chased her around the yard trying to beat her.
The third daughter even dared to dodge.
Lady Sun protected her the whole time, crying and making a fuss.
But then when the third daughter shouted that Lady Sun was pregnant, it was then that Wang’s fourth son finally stood up for his wife and child, infuriating Wang Zhang’s wife nearly to death.”
Zhulan’s eyes narrowed.
Wang Ru was not to be underestimated.
The original text didn’t have her using her mother for a scene, and now with Wang Zhang’s wife looking for trouble, Wang Ru had started using Lady Sun.
So, Wang Ru had seen Lady Sun’s pregnancy coming and was using Lady Sun’s unborn child for her own benefit.
Didn’t she ever think that Lady Sun was already in poor health and might miscarry if something went wrong?
Could Wang Ru really ensure Lady Sun’s safety?
At the end of the day, Wang Ru was selfish, always first seeking her own benefit, and incidentally probing the entire Wang family’s weaknesses.
When reading the novel, Zhulan felt that Wang Ru had skewed morals, but reality was even more direct than fiction.
Zhulan warned Lady Li, “Keep your distance from the Wang family in the future.
If I find out you’re joining their commotion, you’ll see how I deal with you.”
Lady Li shuddered.
Her mother-in-law had just admonished her and issued a stern warning.
Truly frightened, she promptly vowed, “Mother, from now on I’ll do whatever you ask of me.
I promise to listen to you.”
Zhulan, “Hmm.”
Seeing her mother-in-law’s improved expression, Lady Li let out a sigh of relief but couldn’t suppress her gossipy urge, “Mother, I must tell you, Wang’s fourth son stood his ground this time.
He even managed to get ten coins from Wang Zhang’s wife!”
Zhulan guessed as much.
In ancient times, the importance of males over females was much more pronounced, and the stigma of not having male heirs had long weighed down on Wang’s fourth son, even causing him emotional distress.
His hopes were all pinned on the unborn child.
She said pensively, “In the future, the Wang family will be in chaos.”
Lady Li, “Mother, the Wang family has always been in chaos!”
Zhulan, “….”
What do you think?
