Chapter 31: Repaying the Favor

Aunt Zhou sprinkled, "I don't care about any royal law!" I don't have a son, no one to support the elderly, even if it's a daughter, she has to support me! ”

Although this is unreasonable, Zhou Juan's brother died in the flood this time. The daughter-in-law was taken away by her mother's family and was about to remarry. But as a condition for allowing her daughter-in-law to remarry, Aunt Zhou insisted on giving her little granddaughter to her daughter-in-law and taking it away. Only the grandson was left behind, and he lived with the old couple.

Now that Zhou Juan, as an adult daughter, if she does not take on the responsibility of providing for the elderly, most of them feel that it is wrong.

Anyway, the Zhao family is well-off, why not give a few taels of silver and live in peace with each other?

A neighbor wanted to be a good man, so he persuaded the mother and daughter to take a step back, or give ten taels.

Grandma Tian shook her head when she heard this, "This doesn't make sense. People don't lose their courtesy, how can they be deceived because they are rich? ”

"Mother, just say a word!" Her daughter-in-law, Aunt Tian, was not happy to meddle with this matter, and the old man was not allowed to squeak.

The beautiful girl's heart was cold, and she felt that the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

No matter how Aunt Zhou treats her daughter poorly, she doesn't even save her when she dies, or like her father, she wants to sell her to the dead, but most of the people in this world still feel that filial piety is greater than the sky.

Since parents have given birth to you, you owe them all your life, and you should support them.

But behind the scenes, are these people really good at supporting the elderly?

is like Aunt Tian, cooking at home has always been hard, for fear that Grandma Tian will eat two more bites.

At this time, everyone refused to help, just because they were afraid that their son would have a chance in the future, and their daughter would not support them.

To put it bluntly, it's not their own business, who doesn't stand and talk without backache?

But in this world, how can there be such an unfair reason!

So, the crisp voice sounded again.

"Aunt Zhou, if Brother Zhou is still alive, he will provide for you in old age, and naturally you will have a family inheritance. If you want Sister Ajuan to provide for your old age, do you also have a family business for her? If not, why did she come?

Or Aunt Zhou herself, or which aunt and aunt have also provided for her parents' old age, you might as well listen to it. It's good for those of us who are juniors to learn some truths. ”

The little girl smiled and said coldly, pouting all the "well-wishers" back!

A group of mothers-in-law looked embarrassed.

They want their daughters to support themselves, but who is willing to support their fathers and mothers?

The family business is all owned by brothers and nephews, and it's their business.

The daughter who marries out, spills the water. Send something during the New Year's holidays to show filial piety. If you really stick yourself upside down, that's the brain in the water!

Originally, Zhou Juan was so angry that she couldn't speak, but this time she calmed down.

"That's right! Mother, if you are willing to give me half of the family property, I would rather not marry than come back to serve you. Okay? ”

Aunt Zhou's eyelids jumped, and she muttered, "That idea of family business has to be left to your nephew." Forget it, since you girl is so reluctant, give eight taels of silver and make up a good fortune. ”

The beautiful lady suddenly felt sad.

She didn't understand why these mothers were partial to their children and grandchildren, but they refused to trust their daughters, who were also women.

Aunt Zhou is like this, and so is Lin Fang's family.

Could it be that in their hearts, only men can be their dependence?

But Sister Mingjuan, as well as herself, are more intimate and sensible!

Fortunately, not every woman is so ignorant.

Ye Shi stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, now Ajuan is willing to come back to serve you, if you don't want to, then what are you pretending to be wronged?" Besides, if you want these eight taels of silver, do you completely cut off contact with her, or do you have to go to her again when you have no money in the future? ”

That's a crucial question.

Aunt Zhou's eyes flickered, "In the end, I was pregnant in October and gave birth to a girl, do you care if you watch us die in the future?" ”

Hehe.

These eight taels of silver are just appetizers, and there will be many more things in the future!

Zhou Juan took a breath and calmed down, "Since I learned that my brother is gone, I know that I can't get out." I'm afraid I'll have to send money in the future......"

The beautiful girl suddenly clung to her ears and said in a low voice.

Give things to the line, no money.

Things can be seen anyway, but the money is gone as soon as it is spent, and it is not clear in the future.

Zhou Juan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sister, don't persuade me, you are a kind-hearted girl, but what do they do to me?" ”

Pick the beauty away first, she said, "It's all about this, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Don't talk about eight taels of silver, mother, even if it's eight cents, I won't give it to you!

But from next month, I will send people back fifty catties of grain every month. Until your nephew is twenty, then he will feed you.

Another thirty pounds, I will send them to my sister-in-law's house. You don't care about your granddaughter, but I can't bear to see her being abused.

Until she gets married, this ration, I, as an aunt, will provide for her!

In the future, unless life and death are important, don't look for me, and don't pay attention to me.

If my mother is unwilling, then we will beat the chickens and eggs, and scatter them in two! If I don't marry in this life, I will come to your house all day long. No! I'm going to make trouble when I come back, and you're going to kick me out again? I'm making trouble for you to live in peace for the rest of your life! ”

In the end, she is the daughter of Aunt Zhou, with her ruthlessness in her bones.

She completely let it go, and Aunt Zhou was cowardly.

In the end, the daughter is young, and she is already old. And there is no son to rely on, and the grandson is small, can he afford to toss?

just complained, "Why do you give your niece thirty pounds, and the three of us are fifty?" ”

Zhou Juan sneered, "Then you send your grandson and your granddaughter back, so do I." ”

Let her grandson send someone under the fence, she is reluctant.

The neighbors persuaded one after another, "Come on, Aunt Zhou, you can accept it when you see it." Fifty pounds of grain in one month is enough for you to chew. ”

Aunt Zhou half-pushed, but still nagged, "Hey, this wing is stiff, I can't help it." The way of the world has changed, and people have lost their conscience......"

The married girl subsidizes her mother's 80 catties of food every month, which is still called losing her conscience?

The beautiful girl was furious.

She wanted to speak, but was pressed tightly by Zhou Juan, only to see her face white, obviously deeply enraged.

"I have lost my conscience? If I had lost my conscience, I would not have come today! What can you do with me?

There was a living in an alley, and the neighbors said, what did our old Zhou family live in before?

Two and a half broken mud houses.

Rain leaks, snow freezes, and on a hot day, it's full of mosquitoes!

I, Zhou Juan, have been making needlework and selling for money since I was eight years old. When I got married, you didn't send me a penny. used things given by relatives and friends to scrape together a dowry.

That's why my mother-in-law hasn't given me a good face for a day since I entered the door.

But I don't regret it!

I always remember that when I built five big tiled houses at home, you took my hand and said, 'Girl, you have done a great job for the family.' In the future, the old Zhou family will always have you in a room! ’

But when I really come back, mother, what did you say? Say I'm sick 'not at the right time'.

Ha, you should pick a good time, and I'll take a look at the one you get sick! ”

Aunt Zhou was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to put a fart, so she turned around and left.

Of course, I didn't forget to carry her share of the bride price.

Zhou Juan suddenly smiled strangely, and said loudly before she left.

"Sister Meiniang, you saved my life, this great kindness, my sister has kept it in my heart for the rest of my life. This gift is specially given to you. Look, is it pretty? ”

Everyone looked over.

Aunt Zhou didn't notice it, but when she turned around, her eyes widened like oil lamps.

Under the bright sun, Zhou Juan was holding a pair of genuine lotus earrings in her hands!

Although it is slightly smaller than the peony earrings she wears, they are also full of weight.

Someone exclaimed, "It's so exquisite, I'm afraid it needs some silver, right?" ”

It seems to be more expensive than Aunt Zhou's bride price combined.

Aunt Zhou, her eyes suddenly turned red with jealousy!
