When Mrs. Zhou heard this, her expression changed instantly. There is no trace of the ferocious expression just now, replaced by a look of grievance and pity.
Her tears were like floods coming from the gate, falling down as soon as she said it. She looked as if she had been greatly wronged.
When Mrs. Ma saw Mrs. Zhou's sudden change of attitude, she couldn't help but secretly complained in her heart.
The three daughters-in-law were all stunned when they saw Mrs. Zhou's magic-like change of face, with expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces.
Not long after, Zhou Jiang's voice came from outside: "Lanhua, we are back, it's time to start dinner."
Ma didn't move, and the three daughters-in-law didn't move either. They all stood quietly, no one moved.
After putting down the farm tools, Zhou Jiang and his son came to the main room after washing their hands, only to find that the food was not served as usual, and they all had a look of confusion on their faces.
"Master, my eldest aunt is here, scolding my mother in the kitchen." Xiao Ma's eldest daughter, Zhou Dani, who had just turned four years old, came to Zhou Jiang's feet and used her milky voice to say "Mother" Said in an angry tone.
Zhou Jiang felt a little strange after hearing what Zhou Dani said.
I thought to myself that this eldest sister doesn’t come here often on weekdays. Why did she come suddenly now out of the blue? Is there something difficult?
With such doubts, he walked into the kitchen.
When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Jiang walking in, her tears suddenly fell like floods bursting from the embankment, and they fell even harder, "Dajiang, are you back?"
Zhou Jiang saw that Old Mrs. Zhou was crying so sadly, and there were still scars on her face from being beaten by Old Man Chen.
Suddenly, he was at a loss. He glanced at Ma and her three daughters-in-law again, and each of them had unhappy expressions on their faces.
"Sister, please don't cry first. Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
"Ojiang, it's okay. I shouldn't have gone back to my parents' home because I'm my sister. I thought that even if I get married, this will always be my home..."
Zhou Jiang frowned and said, "Sister, don't say that, of course it will always be yours here. "
Mrs. Zhou looked at Ma while crying, and murmured: "You are the only one who feels this way, Dajiang. Sister, I still don't want to embarrass you. Just leave."
After saying that, Mrs. Zhou pretended to get up and leave, staggering a few times.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiang hurriedly stepped forward to support her and said, "Sister, what are you doing? Don't leave in a hurry."
Mrs. Zhou sobbed and said: "Dajiang, if I stay here I will only make everyone unhappy, so let's go."
Zhou Jiang looked at Ma helplessly.He also looked annoyed and aggrieved.
He said to Ma, "Lanhua, don't say anything. What's going on?"
Ma really didn't want to speak, it was like this every time. Seeing the situation, she said angrily: "I have nothing to say, I let the eldest sister finish everything."
"What did the eldest sister say? The eldest sister didn't say anything."
Ma felt increasingly speechless, right? There was no time like this. Mrs. Zhou seemed to have said nothing, but she seemed to have said everything.

"Boss, please tell me."
Wang first glanced at her father-in-law, and then at her mother-in-law. Then he told the whole story of the incident.
"Dajiang, I haven't eaten all day today. I'm really hungry and can't bear it anymore. I just ate a little bit of food, which was the amount they cooked." Too little."
Mrs. Zhou denied that she had eaten two big bowls in a row.
"Just because of such a trivial matter, Lanhua, the eldest sister has been hungry all day long. What will happen if she eats a little food? Just stop bothering. There are also the three of you, eldest aunt. Elders, you must respect her."
Ma's face was blank, and the three daughters-in-law probably understood why their mother-in-law disliked this aunt so much.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's put the food on the table quickly. We have been tired all day and are all hungry."
Because there was not enough food, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ma baked a few more pancakes, so that everyone could fill their stomachs.
After dinner, Zhou Jiang asked: "Sister, why did you come here today?"
Mrs. Zhou pulled Zhou Jiang with a slightly hesitant expression. Slowly walking towards the yard, in the yard, she hesitated again and again, and finally told Zhou Jiang the matter in a half-truth and half-false way.
After Zhou Jiang heard this, he felt a strong anger in his heart. He immediately decided to take his other three brothers to Guhuai Village tomorrow to find Old Man Chen to seek justice for Mrs. Zhou. .
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stopped him. She said with a look of embarrassment: "Dajiang, you can't do this. If you do, your brother-in-law will definitely divorce me. Then I will There's really no place for this old face."
She continued to look like she was thinking about her parents' family, "And if this happens, the marriages of the children in the family will be affected. Think about it, if the future of the children is affected because of my affairs, how uncomfortable it will be for me. How can I bear to see such a situation happen? ”
Zhou Jiang. After listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, his original firm determination began to waver. He stood there, frowning, and fell into deep thought.I don't know what to do.
"Sister, how much money do you want to borrow? Let's see how much money I still have here."
"Fifty taels is enough. When the yamen servant opened his mouth, I asked for ten taels as a favor fee, but seeing that I really didn’t have any, I only asked for five taels. Your brother-in-law told me not to go back if I couldn’t borrow the money, and he would have someone send me a letter of divorce. "
The yamen servant actually only got three taels of silver, and she wanted to ask for more. The food is too heavy to carry back, so I don’t want it anymore. Use money as payment and keep the extra money, so that you can save some private money.
When Zhou Jiang heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed. He rubbed his hands and said, "Sister, these five taels of silver are not a small amount. I can't afford so much at the same time."
Moreover, all the money in the family is in Ma's hands. If he wants to lend money to Mrs. Zhou, he must tell Ma and his three sons about it.
"Then what should I do? Do you really want your brother-in-law to divorce me? I am already so old. At worst, I will drown myself in the river, but at home What should I do with my children? They have to suffer because of my damn aunt."
"Sister, why are you going to die? Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Lanhua. "
After saying that, Zhou Jiang turned around and went to the kitchen.
Mrs. Ma was washing dishes. When she heard that Mrs. Zhou wanted to borrow five taels of silver, she immediately opened her eyes and said in shock: "How can this be done? How can we have so much money at home? Our family is living like this. I'm already living a tight life, so how can I lend her so much money?"
This is five taels of silver! Only Mrs. Zhou dared to speak. We are all country people digging in the fields, and we can easily take out five taels of silver wherever we go.
