Mrs. Zhu didn't believe it. She made trouble a few more times, but Zhu Daniu was really not afraid.
Everyone cares about face. As her son, she knew very well that face was very important.
If she was killed because of Zhu Daniu, people in the village would definitely poke Zhu Daniu's spine and gossip.
"Mother..." Zhu Daniu was really helpless and didn't know what to do.
If she disagrees, Mrs. Zhu will probably hit the wall again.
Unable to say anything, Zhu Daniu could only say to Mrs. Zhu angrily, "Mom, it's not that we don't want to treat our third brother. It's because my mother-in-law has lost all the family's money! Mom, I will do my best. Take care of her, but there’s no way to get the money out now!”
"Ah, then my old wife won't be alive anymore. If I can't cure your third brother's disease, what's the point of living for me!"
Zhu Daniu twitched the corner of his mouth, thought for a moment, and said to Mrs. Zhu, "Mom, don't be like this. If you want to cure the third brother's illness, you will have to spend money. Where can our family steal money now... ··In this case, why don’t you ask the second brother and the second younger brother and sister? Their families all have money to build a house, and the third brother’s medical treatment can definitely be spent!”
After Zhu Daniu finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu's eyes fell on Mulan.
Mulan's heart tightened.
What did Zhu Daniu say? What does it mean that her family is rich? Her family's life is not easy now.
The money to build the house was borrowed by Zhao Yun'er. Now that the breakfast stall in the town is no longer open, there is no fixed income. Before they find new ways to make money, they have to save money and cannot just spend it casually. Just spend it out.
In this way, Zhu Daniu completely shifted the responsibility to her, which was impossible for every opinion in Mulan's heart.
"Second sister, my mother gave birth to a second brother and raised a second brother. As a daughter-in-law, you should be filial to your mother. You can't just watch our mother die in front of us." Zhu Daniu said to Mulan.
Mulan couldn't help but snorted in her heart. Since she knew that she should be filial, why didn't she see how filial she was in normal times? Now she can talk about her.
Mulan held back the breath in her chest and said to Zhu Daniu, "Brother, what are you talking about? Your family has no money, and my family has no money!"
"Second brother and sister, if you don't want to care about my mother's life or death, just say so. You actually said you have no money! Who doesn't know that your family is rich!"
Old Mrs. Zhu began to curse, "We, Old Zhu, have done evil. We married a troublemaker, so we know how to spend money on others, and our own family will not be willing to spend it!"
Mrs. Zhu was hinting at Mu Xin.
Since Mulan married into the Zhu family, she is a member of the Zhu family. In theory, she should not have too much control over the people and affairs of her natal family.
However, Mulan brought Mu Xin with her to the Zhu family. In the eyes of the Zhu family, it was like raising an outsider in vain.
Mulan knew what Mrs. Zhu meant, so she explained, "Mom, my sister is not here for free. She helps me with work every day. During these days, I can get paid by helping out at Yun'er's breakfast stall. Yes, the salary she earns is enough to pay for her stay at my house."
Mrs. Zhu never heard what Mulan said, "You are an unfilial daughter-in-law. Old Zhu's family has been in trouble for eight lifetimes. You don't even care about the life or death of your own mother-in-law!"
"Second younger brother and sister, just say something and don't really force my mother to death, otherwise our old Zhu family will lose face in the village!"
