Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Family Division_1
I don’t know how many things she’s given to her younger brothers and sisters behind their backs.
Now this child is born, are they going to divide the family as they did before?
I haven’t discussed this with my husband yet. But seeing mother-in-law suddenly preparing ten chickens for the Full Moon Wine celebration today, my anger rose, hardly able to be suppressed.
Meng Yunhan looked at the ten chickens in the cage and finally understood why her second sister-in-law was asking such questions and why her eldest sister-in-law was looking at her that way.
“I bought them,” she admitted frankly.
She bought them; there was no need to hide it.
Zhang Cuihua looked a bit unpleasant. They, being daughters-in-law, had to hold back their words against their lying mother-in-law. But when it was her younger sister-in-law lying, they felt justified to accuse her.
Before Zhang Cuihua could speak, Zhao Fang had already started.
“Little sister, you’ve been a teacher before, teaching kids not to lie. How can you still lie when you’re so grown up? You have a baby, how could you possibly have gone out? Even if you really wanted to get some meat, but is it really that easy to get meat?”
Before Meng Yunhan could respond, Zhang Cuihua began as well, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had received from her mother’s family at once. “Little sister, our family was divided when we got married, and now your child is born, are you going to divide the family too? We all know that third brother gets an allowance every month, You didn’t prepare anything for your wedding, even your wedding clothes were provided by your husband’s family. Can you afford to buy meat and chickens? The money is obviously from our parents, they want to buy others’ favor for you.”
Meng Yunhan felt a headache oncoming.
So her two sister-in-laws harbored such resentment towards her?
Their mother was infuriated by their words.
As Meng Yunhan was about to retort, a sudden cry startled her, she instinctively ran to check on the baby.
Upon hearing her grandson’s heartbreaking cries, the grandmother also went to see what was wrong.
“Eldest sister-in-law, did you see that? The mother-in-law clearly cares more about the third brother’s family.” Zhao Fang saw that the mother-in-law cared very much about the grandson born to the third sister-in-law, making her feel very unsettled.
Zhang Cuihua felt even more imbalanced in her heart.
They are all daughters-in-law, and they have all had sons too. Why hasn’t she ever seen her mother-in-law care so much before?
When they tried to send their children over before, they were rebuffed by the father-in-law.
But when the youngest daughter-in-law got married, she always lived with her mother-in-law and father-in-law. Now that the third sister-in-law’s child is born, and a full month has passed, it’s time to bring up the topic of separating households.
“Surely we must separate from the youngest sister-in-law. Otherwise, no matter what happens to my mother-in-law, we won’t take care of it.” Zhao Fang said bluntly.
Zhang Cuihua frowned, “Would the youngest sister-in-law be willing?”
“Even if she’s not willing, she will have to.”
Zhao Fang was determined to make the third sister-in-law separate from the family, regardless of any fuss.
Meng Yunhan went back to the room to soothe Little Huzi. Didn’t her son just fall asleep? Why did he wake up all of a sudden?
He’s not uncomfortable, is he?
The grandmother walked in later.
“What’s wrong with little Huzi?”
Meng Yunhan said with a smile, “Little Huzi knows that today is his full moon birthday, so he’s also very excited.” She did not mention what her two sister-in-laws had said before.
The grandmother sighed. The meat and chickens were clearly bought by Yunhan. But according to the eldest and second daughter-in-law, they were compensated by the old folks.
She previously thought her two daughters-in-law were better than those of other families, but now it seemed that as long as their interests were harmed, they would get angry and start a fuss.
