Zhao's eyes were red. She knew that after so many years, her mother had been sold in Pingzhou and it would not be easy to find her. She still held on to hope and asked the head of the household to inquire. Her father and grandmother had sold her mother in front of her. She only remembered that the family who took her mother away was surnamed Yun.
She knew that it was difficult to find out the surname, so she still held on to her fantasy. The head of the family found out that there was no one with the surname Yun in Pingzhou. She felt upset for a while. When she heard her mother-in-law calling her, she couldn't adjust her mood for a while. She calmed down and shook her head, "Mom, the head of the family almost dropped Mingrui when he was holding him just now. I was shocked and I couldn't recover for a while."
Zhulan knew that Zhao was not telling the truth, and she had no intention of asking questions. As long as it was not Changyi's fault, "It's good that he didn't fall."
Zhao adjusted her mentality and said with a smile: "Mom, are you looking for me and my sister-in-law to prepare dinner?"
Zhulan, "Well, your father and his family are back. We are going to stew a chicken tonight and kill our own chicken."
Zhao asked, "Only kill the chicken?"
This is too simple. Looking at the way my mother looked just now, she shouldn't just kill the chicken to eat.
Zhulan smiled and said, "Your father brought back braised meat and two roast ducks from Pingzhou. The meat and vegetables are all ready-made, so stewing a chicken will be enough. By the way, I have divided the things I brought back from Pingzhou, so you can take them back to your rooms first."
Zhao touched her wrist, which was the silver bracelet bought for her by the head of the family. She felt sweet inside and said, "Thank you, mother."
Zhulan didn't hear Li's response. Seeing Li staring blankly at Zhao, Zhulan could see that Zhao was distracted just now. Li saw Zhao's appearance clearly and pulled Li's hand, "Why are you distracted? Didn't you hear me clearly when I was talking to you?"
Li pointed her fat finger at Zhao, "Mom, she, my sister-in-law, looks so good. Is this really Zhao?"
When Zhao heard that it was too late to bow her head, she felt nervous for a moment, but then relaxed, and felt relieved. Who doesn't want to show their true face to others? Who would want to hide? With her parents at home to keep her safe, she was not afraid of being discovered. Zhao was stunned. She had unknowingly developed such a high level of trust in her husband's family.
Li was stunned. She felt like she didn't know how to describe Zhao. Zhao was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Even women were stunned by her. Li realized belatedly that Yu Shuang never went out to play. Now she realized that it was because Yu Shuang was so beautiful and Zhao was also so beautiful, so Zhao had been covering her face with her hair and lowering her head. Seeing her mother-in-law's calm look, she wouldn't be the last one to know!
Zhulan didn't know why Li was feeling wronged again. She didn't understand Zhao's train of thought. She frowned and said, "Your appearance was given by your parents. Don't be sad."
Li, "... ... ..Mother, what did you say?"
Doesn't this hurt her heart? She really didn't pay attention to her appearance, but her mother-in-law mentioned it, and she noticed it. She looked down at her fat belly, and those who didn't know would think she was pregnant. Then she looked at her fingers, and she felt a strong sense of crisis. Who doesn't love beauty? She felt that Zhao was pleasing to the eye. No, she couldn't let Zhao occupy her mother-in-law.
Zhulan saw Li's reaction and knew she had guessed wrong. She looked wooden-faced. She and Li really had different train of thought. As for why Li was feeling aggrieved, she didn't want to bother guessing. Anyway, Li's emotions came and went quickly.
Li saw her mother go to the kitchen and hurriedly followed her, "Mom, do you think it's too late for me to lose weight now?"
Zhu Lan turned around and reminded him, "Don't tell anyone that you want to lose weight. You might get beaten if you go out."
After saying that, Zhulan ignored the upset Li. Anyway, Li would never be able to lose weight. This was a genetic problem. All the members of the Li family were fat, and it was obvious that they had strong genes.
Li was quite smart. Although she couldn't react immediately to the meaning of her mother-in-law's words, she understood it after thinking about it for a while. If she went to the village and said she wanted to lose weight, she would be easily beaten. Her family was the only one in Zhoujia Village that ate well. While people in the village still looked forward to eating more meat during the New Year, her husband's family had never been without meat for a whole year. Her stomach was growing big, and meat was no longer her favorite food. But for other villagers, it was good enough to be full. She also wanted to lose weight. Wasn't that showing off
Li shivered, then remembered to ask Zhao, "What did mother tell me when I was distracted?"
Zhao smiled. Her sister-in-law did have many little flaws, but she was not jealous of her looks and treated her the same as always. She felt warm in her heart and told her again what her mother-in-law had just told her.
Li pulled Zhao and said, "I have been thinking about dividing the things for a long time. If the boss hadn't pulled me back, I wouldn't want to leave!"
Inadvertently speaking out his true feelings, Li gave a dry laugh.
For the first time, Zhao walked with her back straight and her head held high, with brisk steps, not caring about her sister-in-law's little thoughts at all. She didn't know when was the last time she walked with her back straight. It seemed like she was very young. Ever since she grew up, her mother never let her show her true face. She felt really good now.
Zhulan waited for Zhao to come back with the chicken, and said to Zhao, "Just walk with your back straight at home, and pretend when there are guests at home or outside."
She didn't dare say this a year ago because she and Zhou Shuren did not have good control over the Zhou family. Now she dares to say it, not only because she understands the children of the Zhou family, but also because she and Zhou Shuren are confident in their control of the Zhou family.
Moreover, everyone in the family is smart. They didn't pay attention to Yu Shuang before because she was a child. But as time goes by, they will notice her sooner or later. They can't hide it anymore. Zhao's revealing of her true face is also a kind of trust, which can also better unite the Zhou family.
Zhao was still a little nervous, but her mother-in-law's words made her feel at ease, "Yes."
Zhao did not change her hairstyle, she just raised her head, which reduced the impact a lot, but revealed her true face. Except for the eldest brother who was shocked, Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were more enlightened.
Uncle Zhou couldn't stare at his younger brother's wife, and Zhao was a crybaby, so he had no time to hide. He really didn't pay attention to Zhao. When he saw her true appearance, his first reaction was that it was no wonder that Second Uncle Zhou was determined to exchange food for his wife!
Brother-in-law Chang Lian didn't feel comfortable staring at his second sister-in-law. He used to think she was annoying and depressing. Later, she stopped crying and still had no sense of existence, but sometimes he thought she was weird. When he saw her true appearance, everything was explained. This appearance must be a disaster. He really admired his second brother's courage. Not everyone can afford a beauty. His second brother is really brave!
Changzhi had never paid attention to his second sister-in-law, but today he figured it out. He frowned and thought that it would be better for his second sister-in-law to cry from time to time. If she became annoying, no one would pay attention to her.
Xue Han spent the most time with Zhao and knew Zhao’s true appearance very early on.
Zhulan saw the expressions of her sons and was very satisfied. She cleared her throat and said, "You must remember that we are a family. Family members trust each other. I'm going to say this in advance. If anyone dares to have any bad intentions, I'll let your father take care of you."
The Zhou family's sons, "... ... .."
How can mother use father to scare them! Although it works very well!
