Although she was always angered by Zhang Miaomiao, she was happy to see Zhang Miaomiao being so submissive to Old Madam. Chen Xiuzhen suddenly realized that The Third Eldest Son was her mother-in-law's nemesis.
Old Madam was considered the Empress Dowager in the Zhang Family. Even Second Sister-in-law, who had two sons, did not dare to be insolent in front of her. A person who wanted to be strong would not want to fall behind others.
It was a pity that her husband no longer listened to Old Madam because of The Third Eldest Son's studies. Although the whole family was chased out, Chen Xiuzhen felt the benefits of being the head of the family. So from the initial anxiety, to the comfortable days today.
Second Brother's family blamed Old Madam because of their eldest nephew's imprisonment. Of course, Old Madam would not take the blame, so she fought with Second Sister-in-law. In the end, Old Master Zhang separated Second Brother's family from the rest of the family.
Although the few families seemed to be in harmony on the surface, it was only because Zhang Chengzong and his brother Zhang Chenghua did not want to bear the accusation of being unfilial. They were no longer as obedient to Old Madam and Old Master as they were before.
Because of Zhang Chengzong, Chen Xiuzhen still respected her mother-in-law on the surface, so it was impossible for her to quarrel with Qian Dahua. But there was a lot of resentment in her heart. So when she saw Zhang Miaomiao and Old Madam confronting each other, her heart beat faster and almost jumped out of her chest. Worried that someone would see something strange, Chen Xiuzhen quickly looked around.
She realized that the men were no longer in the fields. They carried the corn back on their backs. Second Sister-in-law, Qiao Chunhua, stopped what she was doing and said as if she was watching a show, "Miao Miao, you're wrong. How can you slap your grandmother's face like this? "
Anyone could hear the provocation in his words.
Before Zhang Miaomiao could speak, Zhang Miaoye said, "Second Aunt, Third Sister shouldn't have said that to Grandma. It's just that our family has Second Aunt who's a coward to her grandmother as an example. I guess Third Sister will follow suit. "
The scene of Second Aunt pointing at Qian Dahua and scolding her was still vivid in everyone's mind. He only stopped when he was beaten up by Zhang Chenghua.
Qiao Chunhua's face instantly darkened. Looking at the gazes behind Chen Xiuzhen, she snorted and started to work.
Qian Dahua glared at Qiao Chunhua angrily.
It was Qiao Chunhua's fight with her that caused her status in the family to be lower than before. His sons turned a deaf ear to his words, and his daughters were all ingrates. They had not returned to their parents' home for many years.
After that, the whole corn field was quiet. Everyone stopped talking and concentrated on their work.
There was strength in numbers. Within a day, they finished worshiping Qian Dahua and her parents' corn and piled it at the door of the old house. After that, the old couple could dry the corn cobs and pull the corn.
Qian Dahua was in a bad mood, so she only made lunch to entertain everyone. After finishing at night, seeing that the old house had no intention of cooking, Zhang Miaomiao and her sisters went home together.
It was actually quite happy to have more girls. The sisters cooked together and made a table in a short while.
Zhang Chengzong then called his parents and Zhang Chenghua over for dinner. However, Qiao Chunhua stopped Zhang Chenghua from coming over because of what happened in the corn field. Therefore, there were only grandma Qian Dahua and grandpa Zhang Chuanhe in Zhang Miaomiao's home.
During the family's meal, grandpa Zhang Chuanhe took the initiative to ask Zhang Miaomiao's working hours.
Zhang Miaomiao was puzzled, but she still answered. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chuanhe asked Zhang Miaomiao to teach hard and said that it was a good job.
This was the first time that the old man affirmed Zhang Miaomiao, which made Zhang Miaomiao full of doubts. Zhang Chengzong was happy and felt that his decision was right.
At night, when Zhang Miaoye mentioned that she wanted to go home, Chen Xiuzhen was unhappy again. "Second Brother, you're not willing to go home and do some work. Do you still think we're your parents?"
Zhang Miaoye ignored Chen Xiuzhen and said to Zhang Chengzong, "Dad, Li Hu has gone out to hold a banquet these few days. My mother-in-law is not feeling well, so I have to hurry up and harvest the corn. Otherwise, it will be too late once the good weather is over."
Before Zhang Chengzong could speak, grandpa Zhang Chuanhe said, "Miao Xin, Miao Cao, go back. Your mom and I will help you harvest the corn tomorrow."
Qian Dahua's lips moved, but she did not refute.
Chen Xiuzhen, however, objected. Her eldest son-in-law, Xie Guochun, was the main force, and the old man was not even half as much as him. However, Chen Xiuzhen did not dare to despise the old man directly, so she said, "No, Dad, your waist is not good."
Zhang Miaoxin immediately said, "Dad, Mom, let's finish harvesting the corn at home before we go back."
After hearing Zhang Miaoxin say this, Xie Guochun lowered his head, but his hands were clenched into fists.
When Zhang Miaoxin saw this, she could not help but look at her eldest sister.
She really did not know if it was because of their grandmother, Qian Dahua, and mother's successful education, or because her eldest sister had always wanted to prove herself. Zhang Miaomiao could remember that her eldest sister had been constantly pushing herself into trouble. Looking at Brother-in-law's sullen expression, he must be very unhappy in his heart.
After all, they were sisters. Zhang Miaomiao said, "Dad, grandpa is right. Let Eldest Sister, Eldest Brother-in-law, and Second Sister go home. Every family has a lot of things to do. "
However, Zhang Miaoxin was not grateful at all. She was eager to refute.
Zhang Miaomiao interrupted and said, "Why don't Eldest Sister stay behind to help while Eldest Brother-in-law goes back, in case the weather changes and the corn sprouts after the next rain."
Zhang Miaoxin felt that something was wrong. However, when she saw her man lowering his head and not saying a word, she could not help but push him, wanting him to express his opinion.
Xie Guochun had no choice but to look up and say, "Dad, Mom, Miaoxin stay behind to help. I'll go back and help my parents for a day before coming back. "
Zhang Chengzong glanced at Xie Guochun and said, "You don't have to come. Your family has a lot of things to do."
Zhang Miaoxin eagerly expressed that she wanted to stay behind, and in the end, everyone agreed. However, Xie Guochun's expression was a little ugly when he left.
Zhang Miaomiao saw this and sighed in her heart.
In the dream, Zhang Miaomiao only had a clear understanding of her own affairs. She only had a cursory glance at other people and things. Then, she left a faint consciousness in her mind.
The consciousness reminded Zhang Miaomiao that Eldest Sister, Zhang Miaoxin, did not have a good life. Zhang Miaomiao was not clear about the specifics. Although Second Sister's life was tight, the relationship between her and her husband was very good.
As for the The Fourth Prince, she did not know if it was because they did not interact much in the past, but Zhang Miaomiao did not have any consciousness related to her. She only knew that she helped her when she first returned to the village. As for Lao Wu, Zhang Miaomiao's consciousness reminded her that he was a jerk. As for what kind of jerk he did, she did not remember it.
Now that she saw the interaction between Eldest Sister and Eldest Brother-in-law, Zhang Miaomiao instantly understood why Second Sister's consciousness would remind her of a good relationship between husband and wife. Eldest Sister's life was not good, not only in terms of her lifestyle, but also in terms of her relationship. Eldest Sister valued her family too much. Eldest Brother-in-law could tolerate it for a year, two years, or even five years. But what about ten or twenty years? If Eldest Sister was still like this, the couple would definitely fall out.
