Zhang Jun saw the situation and quickly tried to smooth things over. “Brother, Little Sister recently cleaned up the rotten potatoes in the field by herself. She also turned the field around by herself. She’s waiting for you to return and teach us how to plant the greenhouse!”
Hearing this, Zhang Kun looked at Wei Zhenghao and asked, “Is he dead? Do you have to do everything by yourself?”
Hearing this, Wei Zhenghao’s originally slanted body suddenly sat straight.
“Big Brother, why are your words so unpleasant to hear?”
Zhang Kun sneered, you’ve done all the ugly things. “What’s wrong with me saying a few words?”
Seeing this, Zhang Jun gave his wife, Hao Meiting, a look.
Hao Meiting immediately reacted. She carried Shuoshuo in one hand and called out to the other children with the other, “Yuanyuan, Zixuan, Zi’ang, and Wenwen, come here. I’ll take you to buy some candy. The small shop in front has just bought a new type of candy, and it’s delicious.”
Ji Zi’ang pulled Ji Zixuan over and said sweetly, “Thank you, Auntie!”
Hao Meiting quite liked Li Xu’s children. Who wouldn’t like sweet-mouthed and sensible children?
She reached out and patted his head.
Ji Zi’ang raised his head and laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan saw Wenwen had been cowering by Zhang Yao’s side and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.
Zhang Yao was weak and had raised her daughter into a taciturn person.
She took the initiative and reached out to Wenwen. “Let’s go and buy some candy!”
However, Wenwen shook her head and hid behind Zhang Yao, her face full of fear.
Her little hand tightly clutched onto Zhang Yao’s clothes, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Ji Yuanyuan didn’t dare to stir her, so she could only withdraw her hand but had no intention of going out.
Seeing this, Hao Meiting could only take Shuoshuo, Ji Zixuan, and Ji Zi’ang out.
After Hao Meiting left with the children, Wei Zhenghao continued, “It’s not as if you don’t know the situation in our family. My father passed away early, and my mother raised my siblings and me all alone. Since we married, I’ve been the only one earning money in the family. After so many years, there’s not much money left in the family.”
Li Xu held Ji Yuanyuan in her arms and asked her in a low voice, “Go out and play with Big Brothers?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. Li Xu didn’t say anything more and just patted her back gently, comforting her silently.
Hearing Wei Zhenghao’s words, Zhang Yao couldn’t help but sneer, “I do want to make money with you, but you didn’t give me the chance to do so. Ever since Wenwen was born, has your mother ever helped take care of her for a day? Let’s not talk about how much she has done for Big Brother’s family. Which of your Big Brother’s two sons wasn’t raised by your Mother? Just because Wenwen is a daughter, she didn’t even look at her?”
Li Xu looked at Zhang Yao in surprise.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Zhang Yao’s temper had become a lot tougher.
“Zhang Yao, what the hell are you talking about? You’re always pulling a long face at home. Would my Mother be willing to take care of your child for you? If you’re as sweet as Sister-in-law, will you be like this?”
“Wei Zhenghao, you better watch your mouth.” Zhang Kun reminded him.
Wei Zhenghao was furious, but he did not dare to speak loudly, toot mumbled, “At home, she talks bad about my Mother all the time, blaming my Mother for not taking care of her child, blaming my Mother for compensating my Big Brother, blaming my Mother for not giving her a good face. Go out and see whose wife is like this? Who wouldn’t be angry at this?”
Zhang Kun looked at Zhang Yao and thought that Wei Zhenghao was right.
No man could stand his wife complaining about her family.
The whole family fell silent, not knowing how to refute Wei Zhenghao.
“It’s my Aunt’s fault in this matter!” Ji Yuanyuan suddenly said.
Zhang Yao looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise, and when she returned to her senses, her eyes were a little red.
Hearing this, Wei Zhenghao’s expression became smug. “Zhang Yao, look, even a child knows that you’re in the wrong.”
Zhang Yao didn’t say anything. She just pouted her lips and held back the urge to cry.
Her Eldest Uncle’s family had two boys, and she only had one daughter. Her Mother-in-law valued men over women and only looked after Eldest Uncle’s children.
When it was her daughter’s turn, her Mother-in-law did not even look at her.
Under such circumstances, her Mother-in-law did not care about the child at all, and she did not dare to hand the child over to her.
No one was looking after the child, so she could only stay home to care for the child.
In the end, it became the reason why her family despised her for not being able to earn money and only knowing how to enjoy life at home.
Moreover, Wei Zhenghao gave his mother a lot of money a year. In the end, the money was used by his mother-in-law to subsidize his eldest uncle’s two children.
Their family was so poor that she had to bring Wenwen back to her parents ‘house to eat when Wenwen wanted to eat some fruit.
All sorts of things made her resentment grow.
She really had had enough of this kind of life.
She just wanted to make money now. She was willing to do anything as long as she could make money.
She wanted to let Wei Zhenghao see that it was not that she could not make money, but no one gave her a chance.
“I feel that Uncle-in-law is doing this for Aunt’s good.” Ji Yuanyuan then said in a crisp voice, “Aunt, your Mother-in-law is not related to you by blood. You should be grateful that she is good to you, and you should not blame her for not treating you well.
As Wei Zhenghao listened to Ji Yuanyuan’s words, the expression on his face became more and more proud.
Li Xu’s expression was a little awkward. She wanted to stop her daughter, but she heard her daughter say, “It’s fair. Your Mother-in-law isn’t helping you now, so you don’t have to take care of her when she’s older.”
The proud expression on Wei Zhenghao’s face froze.
Zhang Yao raised her head, her face full of shock.
“Since you’re not related by blood, your Mother-in-law won’t help you now. In the future, you’ll not be obligated to support her. Aunty, although it’s a little tough for you now, you’ll be more relaxed in the future!”
“You’re just a kid. What nonsense are you spouting? Which Daughter-in-law doesn’t have to take care of her Mother-in-law?” Wei Zhenghao quickly said. “Uncle, your words are so strange! Why was it normal for a Mother-in-law to not help her Daughter-in-law but wrong for a Daughter-in-law not to support her Mother-in-law? The Daughter-in-law isn’t the Mother-in-law’s child, so she doesn’t have the obligation to take care of her, right?”
After a pause, Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully. “I know. Uncle, you said that the Daughter-in-law who takes care of her mother-in-law must have received her Mother-in-law’s favor when she was young. Am I right, Dad?”
She looked at Zhang Kun innocently and asked, pretending to be confused.
Zhang Kun held back his laughter and nodded hard, “Yes, this kind of thing is mutual. Mother-in-law was good to her Daughter-in-law when she was young. Only then will her Daughter-in-law be good to her when she’s old!”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and smiled sweetly at Wang Yueju, “Then, in the future, Mommy will definitely be especially good to Grandma. Because Grandma is also good to Mommy now!”
Wang Yuechu sighed. “We’re all Mother-in-law. I’m just putting myself in her shoes.”
Zhang Yao also came back to her senses at this time, and she said coldly, “That’s right. Don’t worry. I won’t say anything bad about your Mother anymore.”
Wei Zhenghao was embarrassed. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot..
