Chapter 132: Shameless
Ma couldn't help but curse: "Shameless! She is a stepmother-in-law who dares to plot her daughter-in-law's marriage? You should just scold back! What's the use of being in a hurry?! Can't you just say no?! ”
Zhou Ma was crying. How dare she say the word "no", and the whole family, along with relatives and clans, will surround her and accuse her. Even her husband Zhou Shigong hopes that she can contribute more to her eldest son and look like a loving mother.
Ma Shi said: "You have been Zhou Jinpu's stepmother for more than 30 years, are you less responsible for him?" When did he give you a good look?! If you are not filial to your son, don't blame your mother for being unloving. If you give him Beizhuang, he won't miss your goodness, but will only think that it is the credit of his step-grandmother. If you have no property, you will still be said to be unkind to your mother, so it is better to leave the property, so there will be benefits! ”
Zhou Ma choked up and said, "How dare you?" If you really do that, what will the lord think?! ”
Ma Shi glared at her with hatred, lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "Eldest sister, don't blame your forehead for speaking ugly. You have been married to your brother-in-law for decades, have children for him, and have never treated his son in the front room badly. You didn't raise him, it's not that you don't want to, it's your stepmother-in-law who holds the child and refuses to let you get close. If my brother-in-law can't even understand such a thing, and only says that you are not virtuous, and you continue to endure it, it will not be very interesting. Decades of husband and wife love, plus the two children you gave birth to him, can't get him a little sincerity, what's the use of you continuing to stay in the Zhou family? It's just that I swallowed my anger until I died for the rest of my life. Even if your stepmother-in-law dies and Zhou Jinpu is still there, where can you have a day when you are not wronged?! ”
Zhou Ma's tears welled up again. Why didn't she understand that? But what could she do? She is almost sixty years old, and her house is full of children and grandchildren, can she still make peace and leave? Besides, she was reluctant to leave. After marrying into the Zhou family, she has been beautiful in front of her mother's family for a lifetime, and she would rather die than lose this scenery!
Ma Shi glared at her angrily and said, "Which one called you and Li?!" You invited yourself to go to court, didn't you cheapen that vicious mother-in-law for nothing?! You say go to see your son, your grandson, your daughter and your grandson! The Zhou family doesn't have a rule that prohibits daughters-in-law from leaving home to visit relatives, right? When the time comes, you will be far away, and they will toss away! You must carry all the property in your hand and the deeds with you, and you can't let them ruin the Zhuangzi behind your back. You have to say hello to the eldest brother before you go out, if the Zhou family dares to come to Beizhuang to make trouble, the eldest brother can come forward instead of the Ma family and block people back! ”
Zhou Mashi hesitated: "This ...... It's like tearing your face, can you? Big brother is afraid that he will not dare to ......"
"The eldest brother doesn't have that guts, but the sister-in-law does!" Ma sneered, "When you married the Zhou family, Daddy wanted to give you a thicker dowry, and my sister-in-law dared to show you a face, just for money!" In the past few decades, does she have the intention of taking the initiative to get close to you? She is the most important person, if she knew that the Ma family's dowry was going to be taken away by the Zhou family and make trouble in the Zhenguo Mansion, she would also dare! ”
No matter how high-sounding Mrs. Ma's rhetoric is, she can't hide the fact that she is instigating her grandson to steal her stepmother's marriage. Zhou Shigong was partial to his eldest son, so he signaled his wife to back down, but everyone in the Zhou clan was not confused.
Once this bad precedent is set, will the mothers-in-law of each family in the future be able to embezzle their daughters-in-law's dowries under the banner of their grandsons? If the grandson who is used as a tool is the daughter-in-law's own child, anyway, the woman's dowry will be handed over to her biological children sooner or later, but in the name of the eldest son of the former house, if you try to marry the stepfamily, it will be difficult for the entire clan to have a peaceful life! In the future, whose children will lose their wives and marry a lady with a rich dowry as their stepfamily? Who doesn't worry that their daughter's dowry will be taken away by their mother-in-law or the son left in the front room?
Although the Zhou family is a prestigious family in Chang'an City, the family that is in-law with the Zhou family will only hope that the marriage can bring benefits to their family. If the benefits have not yet been obtained, the dowry for the daughter must be given up first, and everyone will reconsider whether they must conclude this marriage. In Chang'an City, there are no other families. The Zhou family still has opponents in Beijing! Marriage with his family is not without political risks. Why let your own family take risks at the same time, but also beware of your in-laws' backstabbing of your daughter at any time?
Ma said to Zhou Ma: "If you dare to make trouble, you can sue yourself in front of the clan elders and let them make decisions for you!" The Duchess of Zhenguo is a reasonable person, and she will never help your mother-in-law speak. If you don't dare to make trouble, then let the eldest brother and sister-in-law come forward for you. Since Zhou Jinpu dares to calculate your dowry, it's no wonder that the eldest brother and sister-in-law came to the door!
"If the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't dare to find the Zhou family's bad luck, let them go to the slaughtering family to make trouble! Ask the Tu family, how hard are you about your nephew? He was reluctant to take out even a piece of land to build a workshop, but asked him to calculate his stepmother's things! Does he have younger brothers and sisters in Zhou Jinpu's eyes? The property of the Zhou family's three rooms is his, and he still wants to loot his younger brother's small property, and he is also worthy of being an elder brother? He has read books for so many years, and he hasn't even learned the word filial piety, what a good official he is?! It's better not to bring disaster to the country and the people! ”
Zhou Ma's eyes widened when he heard this. Although she felt very happy, she didn't dare to really do what her little sister said: "I'm afraid that if I really say so, the master will write a letter of resignation immediately......"
What's more, the family helped Zhou Jinpu build a glass workshop, but they hid it from the Zhenguo Mansion, and just wanted to wait for the glassware to be burned and sold. If she exposed this matter in advance, when she went to Mrs. Ma and Zhou Yegong, she would be hindering Zhou Jinpu from establishing her own industry, deliberately trying to damage his financial career, and further, she was deliberately hindering his future. Afterwards, even if she kept the other village, it would be difficult to have a foothold in her husband's family.
The estate could provide her with a limited amount of income each year, and she didn't want to sacrifice that much for it. She just wants to leave this village to her son, so that her children and grandchildren can have a foundation in Chang'an in the future. Even if their parents and elders die in the future, and the eldest brother separates and drives them out of the house, they still have a place to settle down in Chang'an.
Ma couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhou Ma crying and talking about his thoughts: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what does the eldest sister want?!" You came here to find E, didn't you want Eto make an idea for you? You just want to talk about the grievances in your heart? What happens after that? Don't you need your mother's family to stand up for you?! ”
"No...... No! That's not what it means! Zhou Mashi hurriedly wiped away his tears, "I really came to discuss with you!" ”
She had already heard that the big food craftsmen of the glass workshop were originally intercepted in Suzhou, and the person who presided over the Suzhou glass workshop was her brother-in-law Haixi Ya. She thought that her brother-in-law must be familiar with these big food craftsmen, and if he was willing to come forward and remind these craftsmen not to let their apprentices change jobs. As long as there is no glassmaker, Zhou Jinpu's glass workshop is a pipe dream, and it is impossible to succeed, and there is naturally no need for her to hand over other villages at that time.
In doing so, it was from the Chang'an glass workshop that stopped the whole thing, and it was the apprentice who was bought by Mrs. Ma who acted carelessly and exposed his feet. Whether her husband Zhou Shigong complained about the apprentice's rebellion, or complained that the border army ignored his own face and refused to give a chance, it had nothing to do with Zhou Ma's family.
Even if Zhou Shigong found out about the top of the Haixi Cliff afterwards, he couldn't help this brother-in-law, right?
Zhou Ma finished talking about his idea, and glanced at his little sister timidly: "Yumei, don't blame the eldest sister, there is really no way to do it......"
Ma's face was flushed with anger, and he couldn't help but spit in the direction of the eldest sister: "Phew! Shameless! ”
