Zhou Lao Da mourned for his wife in his heart. He was so unlucky to be caught by his mother. Facing his mother's gloomy face, he dared not hide it, "She went to Wang Lao Si's house to watch the fun."
Zhulan was really worried about Li, but she couldn't ask Zhao in front of her eldest son, "Just tell her I'm back and ask her to come back."
Boss Zhou stood up quickly and left quickly.
Zhulan first distributed the wood carvings she had bought to her grandchildren and sent the children away. Then she took Zhao back to the bedroom and motioned for her to sit down and asked, "Did anything happen at home during the days I was away?"
Zhao knew clearly that her mother was asking about her eldest sister-in-law. She put her son in her arms on the kang and did not dare to lie. "Mother, after you and father left, my eldest sister-in-law did not dare to go out. She went out today because there was a big commotion at Wang Laosi's house."
Zhulan felt relieved and teased her grandson who had grown a lot. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have gained weight again."
Zhao felt warm in her heart. The family had good food, her milk was sufficient, and the child was well fed and grew fast. "It was all thanks to my mother."
Zhulan did not ask about the studies of Zhao's third son and eldest son. It was not good for a sister-in-law to keep an eye on her younger brother-in-law. These two sons were studying in the clan school, and given Zhou Shuren's status, no one would bully them.
Zhulan took out jewelry boxes from her bag, one large and one small. The large box contained the girl's jewelry, and the small box contained three silver hairpins. She took out a sapphire hairpin and said, "You look good in blue, so I'll give you this hairpin."
Zhao's eyes widened. This was her first piece of jewelry. It would be a lie to say that she did not envy her elder sister-in-law for wearing jewelry. The head of the family saw her secretly looking at her elder sister-in-law's hairpin and said that she wanted to buy one too, but she was reluctant to do so. There was a new child in the family, and no matter how much money she saved, it would always feel insufficient. It was her fault that she was not as capable as her elder sister-in-law. She felt very upset at the thought. Who would have thought that her elder sister-in-law, who only knew how to eat, would surpass her in one fell swoop. The hairpin was really rare, and her hands were shaking a little. She did not dare to take it.
Seeing that Zhao Shi was reluctant to accept it, Zhu Lan pulled Zhao Shi over and put it on her head. It was pleasing to the eye to see a beautiful woman wearing a hairpin. It would be nice if she didn't cry. "A hairpin is enough to make you cry so sadly?"
I didn't know, I thought she was going to die!
Zhao was touched. Her mother-in-law was the best person to her besides her mother. The head of the household had to take a back seat. The head of the household kept talking about buying her a hairpin but never took any action. She had completely forgotten that the money was in her hands. "Mother, wuwu, mother."
Zhulan, “… … ..”
It’s okay to cry, but don’t draw out the sound, as if she is really going to die!
Li came in and didn't care why Zhao was crying. She saw the hairpin on Zhao's head at a glance. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked so sad that she wanted to slap herself. Why couldn't she control her legs? If she had known, she would not have watched the fun. She felt that she had missed out on ten taels of silver. She felt sad and cried, "Mom!"
Zhu Lan was startled, "... ... ..."
Zhou Shuren, who was chatting with his son outside, rushed in out of fear, thinking that something had happened to Zhulan. Seeing that Zhulan was fine, he turned pale with anger. The two annoying daughters-in-law had dark faces, "Why are you howling? Are you cursing your mother?"
Li was frightened. It was the first time she saw her father-in-law get angry. She was so scared that she started hiccuping. "Hickey, no, no."
Zhulan pressed her brows. She was tired enough from the bumpy ride, and she had to deal with the bad mood. She took out a hairpin inlaid with agate and gave it to Li. "This is yours. It's getting late. I'm tired too. Zhao, take the child home. Li, hurry up and cook. Everyone else, go out!"
Zhou Shuren's face didn't look good. The eldest and second eldest Zhou left with their wives in shame. His father was furious.
Seeing that Zhou Shuren's face looked unhappy, Zhulan couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. This guy is really worried about her!
