Chapter 35: The Freezing Point of Relations
"Eh, sister-in-law, don't be angry with this heartless girl, it's not worth it if your body is angry."
Zhang Jihan frowned, to talk about himself, after all, the eldest brother has not been there all these years, and he really has not fulfilled the responsibility of a second brother.
The eldest brother sacrificed, and he was the only male in the whole family, but he couldn't shoulder the burden of the family, not to mention, he had done so many bastard things before, so whenever he wanted to use the identity of an eldest brother to teach the ignorant Zhang Tongtong, he always felt that he was really unqualified.
"Okay, good daughter-in-law, mother, listen to you, this unfilial son can say such a rebellious thing now, my goddaughter has no way, I, too, should reflect on what I didn't do well, God actually made my daughter look like this."
Zhang Li coughed twice, waved his hand and said that he had nothing to do now, and went back to the room with his head shaken.
"Mother, where are you?"
Liu Meiniang looked at Zhang Li's old and emaciated back, and felt an inexplicable sour feeling in her heart, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world.
"They're all in the house, who are you pretending to be like this?"
Zhang Tongtong snorted coldly, no matter what others say now, anyway, she has already decided that Liu Meiniang is a vixen, so all the other people who think she is very good are blindfolded.
"I really don't understand, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, I have been conscientious, diligent, and dedicated to this family for so many years, and now when the life of this family finally improves, you are now saying that I am not good, then I want to ask you."
Liu Meiniang slowly walked step by step towards Zhang Tongtong who was standing in place, Liu Meiniang's face did not have any expression, modern education has been taught, when facing a stubborn person, if it is useless to move with emotion and reason, then it can only be to let the other party recognize the reality as soon as possible.
"For so many years, you have found fault with me everywhere, saying that I am not good or bad, if as you said, I am my nemesis, then we have lived for a few years, even if you hate me, after so many years of getting along day and night, why am I here, my nemesis, but you are still safe and sound?"
“……“
Zhang Tongtong was speechless for a while, she never knew that Liu Meiniang had become such a eloquent person at that time.
"Let's talk about it now, the Zhang family's life is getting better and better, but in this better and better day, has my lazy sister-in-law ever made a little contribution?"
"I ......"
"It doesn't matter if you can't answer, since you have the answer in your heart, then everyone is now a clear-eyed person."
Liu Meiniang snorted coldly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile without temperature.
"Since all the improvements in the current Zhang family are the result of everyone's joint efforts, but my sister-in-law has always avoided work when encountered, then if my sister-in-law still questions the value of my existence, it is better for my sister-in-law to eat in another family."
"After all, not every family's rice is willing to be used to raise white-eyed wolves."
Liu Meiniang knew that what she said was a bit heavy, but if she didn't grow up quickly in this era, she would have to suffer more grievances and tribulations at that time, and no one would be able to live under the protection of others.
"Mei Niang, my mother knows that you have broken your heart after all these years, and that girl is still angry and always embarrass you and makes you feel wronged."
Zhang Li took Liu Meiniang's hand and sighed softly, it can be seen that the child is so old and has developed such a temperament, and she is helpless now.
"Mother, what are you talking about, people have no fault with the gods."
Liu Meiniang smiled and signaled that Zhang Li didn't have to think about it, after all, now that the matter has come to this, since the sister-in-law has developed such a character, no matter what kind of change she has, she is powerless.
What's more, after Liu Meiniang clashed with Zhang Tongtong for the last time, Zhang Tongtong seemed to never see Liu Meiniang anymore, and there was no one in his eyes.
used to be against Liu Meiniang everywhere, but now even if there is no way to avoid meeting Liu Meiniang, even if it is inevitable, it may have been a bright smile, but when it comes to meeting Liu Meiniang, it will instantly restrain its smile.
“……”
Liu Meiniang always had an idea to talk to Zhang Tongtong, a little girl, and she put down her idea halfway, but it turned out that Zhang Tongtong was completely estranged from Liu Meiniang this time.
"Sister-in-law, Zhang Tongtong's stinky girl has been weird recently, I am angry when I look at it, you work hard for the family all day long, busy before and after, so hard, why is she so ignorant?"
Zhang Dandan pouted, as if there was no way to understand his sister's thoughts.
may also be because Liu Meiniang came to the relationship with the Zhang family since she was a child, so Zhang Dandan and Liu Meiniang got along better.
What children need when they are young is a gentle leader, and Liu Meiniang is the person who appeared in Zhang Dandan's life.
But Zhang Tongtong is different, in terms of current thinking, Zhang Tongtong should be out of the rebellious period of adolescence, and because of some unbalanced mentality in his heart, and there is a gap around him, he naturally developed this current character.
"Dandan, promise me, no matter what kind of person your third sister becomes in the future, don't get bored because of me. Blood is thicker than water, no matter where she goes, she is a sister who is in the same blood as you. ”
Liu Meiniang touched Zhang Dandan's head and said in a serious tone.
Maybe if this was put in the previous Liu Meiniang, how could she have the energy to care about the life and death of others who were sick all day long, and she would not educate others like this anyway, but now that God has given her a chance to start over, she naturally has to grasp it well, do more good deeds, and superstition can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good.
What's more, Zhang Dandan is a simple and lovely little girl, if Zhang Dandan is made to hate her sister now, she will inevitably not become Zhang Tongtong in another sense when she grows up.
"I know that my sister-in-law is kind, and I know that I shouldn't talk about my sister without being big or small, but she is too much."
Zhang Dandan pouted, lowered her head a little aggrieved, Liu Meiniang looked at Zhang Dandan's aggrieved appearance, couldn't help sighing, bent down and touched Zhang Dandan's head.
Yes, such a young child still knows what good and evil are good and bad, why is that girl so old that she still can't accept the fact that she is living in what kind of living environment she is living in.
Maybe it's true that the death of his father and eldest brother has put too much pressure on Zhang Tongtong, so it will have a lot of psychological shadows.
But this is not a permanent excuse, Zhang Tongtong will suffer sooner or later because of this character, and now it seems that this misunderstanding will not become shallow because of the passage of time.
"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with what my little sister said, our Zhang family has never had such a good offspring, if it is known by outsiders, so that after the almost impeccable sister-in-law marries into our family, not only do you have to take care of the big and small things in the family, but also be angry with the sister-in-law in the family, and spread it out to let others think of our Zhang family."
Zhang Jihan sighed, since the last gambling debt turmoil, Zhang Jihan has become very silent, perhaps because he is the only male in the Zhang family now, but he seems so powerless to do anything.
So, now Zhang Jihan always feels that he is incompetent, although he also took on a lot of work at home little by little with the help of Liu Meiniang, but he still has no self-confidence inexplicably, and he always seems to be lacking in confidence.
"Arrange your own family like this, and your mother is not afraid that she will be sad when she hears it?"
Liu Meiniang frowned and motioned to Zhang Jihan not to talk nonsense.
In ancient times, at an age like Zhang Jihan, and now he is the only man in the family, what he says has a certain weight.
At this time, in fact, at an age like Zhang Jihan, even if Zhang Li doesn't say it, but he does pin most of his hopes on Zhang Jihan, her husband and eldest son died early, and there will be a strong sense of dependence on such a woman.
Therefore, at this time, Zhang Li must not hear that the pillar of this family is now complaining about his sister in his heart, otherwise he is born from the same root, and Zhang Li will definitely be sad because of this.
"What is my sin in the third sister?"
Liu Meiniang looked at Zhang Tongtong's figure and left angrily, her face was full of puzzlement, she searched for her memories repeatedly, but she never remembered what place or when this little girl hated herself.
“……”
Zhang Dandan and Zhang Jihan glanced at each other and shook their heads, indicating that neither of them knew what was going on.
Liu Meiniang looked at the direction Zhang Tongtong left and fell into deep thought, what is going on, or is it because she thinks too much, Zhang Tongtong is just because of her self-righteous superstition - the point that she killed her brother, so she hates herself until now.
"By the way, sister-in-law, when the day dawned, the mulberry tree had already arrived, and seeing that you were still busy drawing drawings, I asked someone to help transplant the mulberry tree to the edge of the fish pond as you said before, but no one around me seemed to have raised silkworms."
Zhang Jihan touched his chin, because he was already like a teenager, so recently, including the Adam's apple and beard, he gradually showed a male character.
"It stands to reason that such soil and water cannot be unsuitable for raising mulberry trees."
Liu Meiniang frowned, in fact, it is not impossible to figure it out, after all, ancient technology and communication are not very convenient, so it is difficult for many people to know this technology, but it is not to say that there is none.
Thinking of this, Liu Meiniang thought that as a person who had been doing farm work at home for so many years, she would definitely know someone who could raise silkworms, so she searched in her memory.
