The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-Law

The Journey Of The Peasant Mother-in-law Chapter 116: Get Angry

 

 

 

Boss Zhou mourned silently for his wife.
She was unlucky enough to be caught by his mother.
Facing his mother’s dark face, he dared not hide it.

 

It was not easy to ask Zhao Shi in front of the eldest son, “Just say I’m back, you go and call her back.”

 

Boss Zhou got up quickly and left quickly.

 

Zhulan first distributed the bought woodcarvings to her grandchildren, and after dismissing the children, she took Zhao Shi back to her bedroom.
She motioned Zhao Shi to sit down and asked, “Is anything going on at home these days when I was not here?”

 

Zhao Shi knew in her heart that Mother was asking about dàsǎo.
She put the son in her arms on the kang, and she didn’t dare to lie, “Mother, after you and father left, dàsǎo1 didn’t dare to go out.
Today, the Fourth Wang’s family had a lot of trouble, so she just went out.
“

 

Zhulan’s heart fell to the ground, and she teased her little grandson who had grown up a lot, “I haven’t seen you for a few days and you are fat again.”

 

Zhao’s heart felt warm.
The food at home was good, her milk was sufficient, and the child ate well.
So he grew up fast, “It’s all thanks to Mother.”

 

Zhulan didn’t ask Zhao Shi about the studies of her third son and fourth son.
It was not good for a sǎozi2 to stare at her xiǎo shūzi3.
These two sons were studying in the clan, and given Zhou Shuren’s status, no one will date to bully them.

 

Zhulan took out a jewelry box from her bundle, containing two boxes—one large and one small.
The large one held accessories for a girl, while the small box contained three silver hairpins.
She took out one adorned with a blue sapphire and said, “Blue suits you very well.
This hairpin is for you.”

 

Zhao Shi widened her eyes in astonishment.
This was her first piece of jewelry, and it would be false to say that she didn’t envy her dàsǎo for having jewelry.
When the head of the household noticed her secretly admiring her dàsǎo’s hairpin and suggested buying one, she couldn’t bear to do so.
With an additional child in the family, she always felt that money was scarce no matter how she tried to save.
It pained her to think that her dàsǎo, who was only good at eating, had surpassed her in this aspect.
The hairpin was truly precious, and her hands trembled as she hesitated to accept it.

 

Seeing Zhao Shi hesitating to accept the hairpin, Zhu Lan reached over and placed it on Zhao Shi’s head.
The beauty adorned with the hairpin was truly pleasing to the eye.
If only the beauty wouldn’t cry, “Is a single hairpin worth making you so sad?”

 

It seemed like they thought she was about to die!

 

Zhao Shi was touched.
Her mother-in-law was the best person to her besides the mother.
Even her husband was a step behind.
The head of the family kept talking about buying hairpins but has not done anything.
He completely forgot that the money was in his own hands.
“Mother, woo woo, mother.”

 

Zhulan, “…….”

 

Crying was fine, but let’s not elongate the sound as if she was actually going to pass away!

 

Li Shi walked in without paying much attention to Zhao Shi’s crying, but her eyes immediately fell upon the hairpin on Zhao Shi’s head.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt like slapping herself in frustration.
How could she not control her own impulses? If she had known, she wouldn’t have gone to watch the spectacle.
She felt like she had missed out on ten taels of silver, and a sense of sorrow overwhelmed her.
She let out a howl, “Mother!”

 

Zhulan jumped, “…”

 

Zhou Shuren, who was chatting with his sons outside was shocked, and rushed in, thinking that something happened to Zhulan.
Seeing that Zhulan was fine, his face turned pale with anger.
These two wretched daughters-in-law! With a dark face he asked, “Why are you howling? Are you cursing your mother?”

 

Li Shi was frightened.
She had to hiccup, “Hi, no, no.”

 

Zhulan pressed the center of her brows and was already tired enough from a bumpy ride, and now she had to deal with this.
So she took out the hairpin inlaid with agate and gave it to Li Shi, “This is yours.
It’s getting late, and I’m quite tired.
Zhao Shi, take the child and go back, Li Shi, hurry up and go out to cook!”

 

Zhou Shuren’s expression turned dark, and Boss Zhou Boss and Second Zhou took their daughter-in-law and left in desperation.
Dad got angry and frightened.

 

Zhulan saw that Zhou Shuren’s face was not looking good, she couldn’t help but feel sweeter, this person was really nervous about herself!
