MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 64

Over there, the three people who went back to their mother's house.

When their family members saw the person coming back with a bundle and nothing, their faces darkened immediately when they heard that they were driven back.

You said you wanted to come to Zhou's family to question them. The three family members knew the reason for being driven back, and there was no reason to come to find a place for your girl.

The three families still want to rely on their in-law relationship to fight the autumn wind if they can. If they come to make a fuss and make the relationship tense, they will not be able to come to the door to fight the autumn wind at will in the future.

In terms of this interest relationship, after thinking about it, I will come back when I come back, and it's not like I won't go back.

The three families couldn't drive people back, they lived and ate at home, and the family had to spend food to support them, and none of them had a good-looking face, and they were very aggrieved.

Anyway, they bring things back from their in-laws’ home to support their mother’s family, and their mother’s family is very enthusiastic, with delicious food and good hospitality, and they don’t have to do anything when they come back. last few days.

In the past, when they returned to their natal family, the treatment by their natal family made the three of them feel that they had face and status in the family, which made the family look at them differently.

When they went back to the village, the people in the village saw them bringing things back to their natal family with big bags and small bags, and they all said that they were filial, capable, and married well.

This time, I went back to my mother's house with a burden, and I don't know how long I will stay. My mother's family and my mother's sister-in-law have changed their faces again.

Lijia Village.

Sister-in-law Zhou Li's family.

Mrs. Zhou Li carried a few bundles, all of which were her clothes in Zhou's house, and asked her to take them back. In disguise, she was told not to go back to Zhou's house forever.

On the day she came home, she was carrying a few bundles, and the Li family thought she had brought something good. The elder sister-in-law hurried forward to curry favor with her, helping her carry the things, pouring water, and caring, which made Mrs. Zhou feel that she was still My natal family is good, I feel aggrieved.

Thinking of her marrying into the Zhou family, giving birth to a boy to the Zhou family, and being treated like that by the Zhou family, thinking about it made her feel angry.

She even forgot why she was driven back.

When Li's father and Li's mother heard their daughter came back, the villagers also envied that their daughter returned to her mother's house with a lot of things. Li's father and Li's mother felt that they had too much face.

"Everywhere, daughters and sons-in-law are filial."

As soon as she got home, Li's mother saw a few bundles on the table, and she immediately burst into joy: "There are so many things. What should I bring back to my mother's house this time? People in the village are very envious of my family when they see it. The aunt next door is still sour. If you have the ability, bring so many things back from your in-law’s house.”

Mother Li unceremoniously started to open the bag, and said, "Your elder brother came back and said that you might be punished by your in-laws..."

After opening it, Mother Li yelled, "It's all clothes—"

The sister-in-law next to her was originally waiting to see what good things it was, but when she heard that it was all clothes, her smile faded away.

"I, I was driven back..."

Mother Li yelled: "What!!"

Her sister-in-law suddenly looked disgusted.

The Li family all came back, and they all knew that Mrs. Zhou asked the Zhou family to rush back. Li's father and Li's mother didn't say anything. The eldest son told the matter when he came back. They knew the reason why the daughter was driven back, so they just said a few words of comfort. : "Your in-law's family is really stingy. It's true that you gave birth to a grandson for the Zhou family and even drove you back to your natal family for such a big matter."

Zhou Li's eight-year-old nephew: "Second aunt doesn't bring home delicious food. What does she come to my house for? She doesn't go back to her house."

Every time Mrs. Zhou Li came back, she sweetly called Second Aunt's little nephew. She didn't see any delicious food, so she didn't call him Second Aunt. She hated him very much.

The younger brother who was drinking with his friends outside, when his second sister came back to his natal home, his eyes lit up, and he hurried back: "Mom, when my second sister came back, did she bring any taels of silver? Isn't it because I still need two taels of silver to marry me? It won't be long before the second sister comes back."

Li's mother said angrily: "Your second sister was driven back by her natal family, and she has no silver taels. She has to wait until she returns to her natal family to get the silver taels. Just get married next year."

Zhou Li's younger brother yelled: "What?! Tell the Zhou family to come back. Damn, if you dare to drive my second sister back, I'll find someone to show the Zhou family some face."

He said to vent his anger on his second sister, but his eyes turned greedy, and he had a reason to go to Zhou's house. He had to ask his brother to go to Zhou's house to extort a few taels of silver.

"What are you going to do? Your elder brother and your second sister angered the Zhou family by doing something, so she came back to her mother's house to avoid the limelight. If you don't add fuel to the fire, come back."

With no money to take, Zhou Li's younger brother felt that it was no good, so he ran out after staying at home to drink with his friends.

Mother Li: "Just stay at home and wait until your in-law's anger subsides before going back."

Seeing her family's attitude, Zhou Li didn't dare to say that her husband's family wanted her to leave the Zhou family together, and didn't dare to say that she couldn't go back after being driven back this time.

She thought about giving the family so many good things every year, so what if she came back to live, and she was able to buy fields for her family to subsidize her mother's family.

She did not take the silver taels back, but she did not dare to give them to her family. This is the silver taels for her future livelihood.

It wasn't long before Zhou Li's visit, and all the work at home fell on her. Her sister-in-law had to take care of her son for no reason, so what if her sister-in-law stayed at home to eat, drink and do some work for free. Mother Li didn't say anything, and all the work of the Li family fell on Zhou Li. Shi body.

Her parents don't work, her elder brother agrees not to work, her younger brother idles around and spends all day drinking with his friends, her sister-in-law just makes excuses here and there, she has a guilty conscience and doesn't dare to resist, so she takes care of her mother's work.

The weather was cold, and the clothes she brought were thick cotton padded clothes. Her parents said that the clothes were a waste of work, so they found the worn-out clothes at home and gave them to her. It was not warm yet, so she brought all the cotton padded clothes for her mother to take away. I saw the cotton-padded clothes on her sister-in-law.

"You are all married out. Go back to your mother's house to eat at your mother's house. My mother said that the cotton padded clothes are considered as your food and lodging expenses at your mother's house. I even made an appointment. I will leave the housework to my little sister." Her sister-in-law twisted her body and went out to show off.

Mrs. Zhou Li was washing clothes and doing work outside alone in the cold weather. His hands were swollen from soaking in the cold water, his face was several years older, his hair was dry and his face was haggard.

She didn't understand how her natal family treated her like this. She thought that she was going back to her natal family to eat and drink, and she should do these things, but she also felt that she brought a lot of things to supplement her natal family every year, and felt that she should do all the housework for her. Thinking of the reunion and divorce, she felt guilty, and had to rely on her natal family... She still had the money she had collected.

But she doesn't know, it's just the beginning. At this time, her natal family asked her to work because she thought that she would return to Zhou's house, and there would be a subsidy. When she didn't return to Zhou's house during the Chinese New Year, the family would know that she was driven back by Zhou's house in disguise. , not to go back to Zhou's house.

At that time, she was the one who suffered a lot. Even when she brought her burdens, the family members secretly searched out the silver taels and took her silver taels for their own.

The food she ate at her natal home was getting worse day by day. Sometimes she worked slower, and all the food was divided, and the leftovers were given to her. After a day of work, she was tired and hungry, and she was not full.

Yang Family Village.

Second sister-in-law Zhou Yang.

She is good, being a person in the Zhou family is like grass on the wall, she is timid in doing things, and she just does what her sister-in-law Zhou Lishi and her third younger sibling Zhou Wangshi do.

It was the first time that she became the culprit. As soon as she got home, she quarreled with her family members at her natal home. There were three sister-in-laws in her natal home, so she never quarreled.

Zhou Yang's sister-in-law: "Fourth sister, go back to your mother's house, where can I live?"

Zhou Yangshi: "If it wasn't for my elder brother's suggestion that I would be kicked back, what would have happened if I lived at home."

Zhou Yang's sister-in-law: "You are reasonable, how can you blame your elder brother, you have to blame yourself for having no status in your husband's family."

Zhou Yangshi: "I have no status. I even gave birth to a grandson for the Zhou family. I am good at first. I didn't make a living for the eldest brother and the others. I would offend my mother-in-law and go back to my natal family. You still despise me."

Zhou Yang's sister-in-law: "If you give birth to a grandson, you will be driven back. There is a use for it."

Zhou Yang went into the house angrily.

Zhou Yang's second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law pulled people around: "Sister-in-law, she always brings back a lot of things every time she goes back to her mother's house. How can you quarrel with her? You offend her. Be careful that she doesn't bring anything back with you."

The third sister-in-law of Zhou Yang's family: "Don't worry, there is mother here, she will not listen to what mother says."

This is true, Zhou Yang's not only has no status in the Yang family, but also obeys Yang's mother's words.

The three sister-in-laws didn't take her seriously.

in the room.

Zhou Yang yelled timidly: "Mother..."

Mother Yang scolded at the beginning: "You are stupid if you say you are stupid. I asked the boss to teach you how to do it, and you were driven back. Don't you deny it? You can't even get a job for your elder brother. I didn’t bring anything with me when I came back, and I went back to my mother’s house for nothing, and I gave birth to you for nothing.”

Zhou Yang was scolded and dared not speak up.

Yang's mother was so angry that she said: "Forget it, I will help the family when I come back to live. Next time you come back to your mother's house and don't bring anything, don't go back."

Zhou Yang said, "I know mother."

"Your eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and your nephew and niece at home, you know that there are too many people in the family, and there will be no room. If you want to live, you can pack up the woodshed and come out to live."

Zhou Yang said in astonishment: "But mother... I came back last time to live in my niece's room. Why, why do you let me live in the firewood house?"

Mother Yang stared: "You were a guest last time, but this time you were driven back. You didn't bring anything with you, and your mother's family gave you food for nothing. You still hate it when you live here."

Zhou Yangshi didn't dare to answer anymore, she went out to clean up silently, and her three sisters-in-law didn't help, they were still watching jokes.

Yang's mother is very patriarchal. For this fourth daughter, she should have loved her after giving birth to three sons and a daughter. However, the fourth daughter gave birth to a younger daughter within two years of her birth. The younger daughter has a sweet mouth. , became Yang's mother's favorite.

He looked down on the fourth daughter and called her stupid behind her back, and her marriage was average. If it wasn't for her ability to support the family, she would have kicked her out a long time ago.

Unlike the youngest daughter, who married a wealthy household with dozens of acres of land in the village, and did not have to worry about food and clothing. The land in the family was rented by the youngest daughter. He is even more obedient to her, often subsidizes the family, and brings home a portion of delicious food, which is envied by everyone in the village. She has such a long face.

Just this daughter is stupid.

Zhou Yangshi also brought food and silver to this family to subsidize the family. The Yang family was able to build a house because of her subsidy. Zhou Yangshi wanted her parents to recognize her goodness. She hoped that her parents would value her. She quietly took it back to her natal family to subsidize.

That's right, every time she brought something back from the Zhou family, her natal family did treat her a little better, and Mother Yang treated her much better.

This time, she went back to her natal home without bringing anything, her attitude was not bad, she ordered her to do some work, and even asked her to take the money, but Mother Yang took all the money she secretly brought from her private house, and she didn't have a good face.

Zhou Yang was used to Yang's mother's attitude, until her younger sister came back and brought a basket of vegetables, and her mother would ask her about her health, and there was a clear contrast in the gap.

No matter how stupid Zhou Yangshi is, she still has a temper.

Later, I had an idea in my heart.

Wangjia Village.

Third sister-in-law Zhou Wang's natal family.

The Queen Mother was scolding the eldest daughter: "You are too impatient. If you try harder and give birth to a boy, you will still be in the same situation in Zhou's family. Now your family relies on that son-in-law. You should build a good relationship. Now Fortunately, your sister-in-law's destruction, you can still live in your in-law's house, let alone there."

Zhou Wangshi: "Mother, don't worry, I can go back when my mother-in-law calms down. I will know what to do in the future."

Queen Mother: "I taught you, and I have plans in mind. Your mother-in-law has opinions on you, so don't get involved when you go back. As long as you give birth to a son for the Zhou family, you may not be able to handle Zhou Zheng. He will listen to you." Yes, he can make money now, and the money will not fall into your hands in the future."

"As for your brother's business, I'm afraid you won't be able to work in Weiji's workshop for the time being. We'll see the situation later. I originally wanted to rely on Brother Yuan's relationship to let you introduce a suitable family to my sister, but now I can't. Remember Wait, you must please Brother Yuan, not to ask you to trouble someone."

Mrs. Zhou: "Yes, I understand, mother."

The queen mother reminded: "When you come back to live, you should not go out of the village."

Zhou Wang was astonished: "Why?!"

Queen Mother: "If you stay at home for two days, it doesn't matter how you move around. You don't know when your in-law's house will let you go back if you are driven back this time. Your mother and I will save face. If the eighth wife in the village knows that you have been driven back , where is your mother and my face?"

Zhou Wangshi bit her lip and said nothing.

Queen Mother: "You are still wronged, it's not that you are not allowed to go out, it is that you are told to go out less."

Zhou Wang's eyes were dim and he didn't speak.

Zhou Wang's family doesn't go out, and there are many sisters who are married in the village. Knowing that she has gone back to her mother's house for a short stay, those who married in the village, or just returned to her mother's house, all come to chat with her.

It was originally a happy thing, but her sisters said they were sisters, but in fact they would arrange her behind the scenes, and this time they came here with meaning.

"It's not easy for you to live in your natal family. I just went back to my natal family. I have something to ask you. How did you marry into Qinghe Village? I heard that the family you married into Qinghe Village is very ordinary. You are a good-looking girl in our village. The pursuit of men is all outside the village, why did you choose an ordinary farmer to marry? By the way, the previous Wang Congjie was not chasing you closely, you also like Wang Congjie, why didn’t you agree to marry him? It's like moving to the county seat."

Zhou Wang's expression froze, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect it either. Wang Congjie pursued me. His family disagreed. Later, when he met someone who was kind to me, he chose to marry him."

"That's right, it looks like you're doing well. Your in-law's family still asks you to bring something with you every time you go back to your mother's house. I can't do it. If my mother-in-law knows that I bring half a vegetable back to my mother, she won't point at me and yell at me."

The other said: "Your mother-in-law is this kind of person. My mother-in-law treats me very well. I gave birth to a boy for my in-law's family. Other sisters-in-law are not as capable as I am. When I have a son, I can rely on him. The poles are all straight."

"I also gave birth to a son. This time I came back to bring my son back. The child is young, so I asked my mother to help with it. My husband's family has no shortage of grandchildren, and the son I gave birth to is not bad."

"By the way, you seem to have only given birth to a daughter," one of them asked Zhou Wang, "I never heard that you have a son."

"No, why don't you hurry up and have a son, you're fine now, and you'll definitely be rejected by your husband's family in the future."

"I have a son."

"I gave birth too."

 …

The kerchief in Zhou Wang's hand was about to be smashed, and he forced a smile on his "sister".

When these "sisters" go back, her eyes are full of unwillingness and shame.

But she didn't know that her sisters used to be the most disliked of her being beautiful and being pursued by many people, and now they came to taunt her together, and when they all knew that she was driven back by her husband's family, they would even tell her behind her back ridicule.

At the beginning of Zhou Wang's family, she married Zhou Zheng in a hurry, and the Zhou family didn't know that she had someone she liked.

For so many years, she has longed for a son every day.

Returning to her mother's house made her live like a year.

It made her heart twisted even more.
