"Yes, mother, everyone in the village saw it. The third sister-in-law's parents pulled a cart to the door and took all her dowry away."
Ms. Liu secretly glanced at her mother-in-law, rolled her eyes, and said without hiding anything.
"It's ridiculous, does Shi Jiang still take me as her mother-in-law seriously?"
As soon as Zhou's mother slapped the table, she ran towards her youngest son's house.
Ms. Liu, who was following behind, pouted, "They have already moved their dowry back, so why are you still their mother-in-law?"
However, she was also very curious in her heart. Didn't Shi Jiang regard his third brother more seriously than the sky? Why did he actually take the dowry back to his parents' home this time? Did he really not want to live with his third brother?
If it's true, what did the third brother do to make her so decisive?
Pang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, was not as curious as Mrs. Liu. When she heard Mrs. Liu coming to spread gossip, she didn't even raise her eyelids and didn't leave the room.
Grandma Ren went to Zhou Qingli's house with Mrs. Liu, but she couldn't help but make calculations in her heart.
If the third child really breaks up with his wife, he will probably have to go home for dinner again.
As a result, the family will have to spend more money.
The thought of having to pay more made Ponzi uncontrollably irritated.
No, if the mother-in-law still favors the third child this time, she must let her man propose to separate the family.
Her son is about to get married now, but she still can't take charge of the family. It's really frustrating.
When Zhou arrived, Zhou Qingli was sitting in the middle of the now empty living room with a pale face.
"Where is Shi Jiang? How dare she? Lao San, why do you let her do whatever she wants?"
Seeing all this in front of her, Zhou's eyes almost darkened and she lost her breath.
When Zhou Qingli heard this, he clenched his fists fiercely. Did he want to let Shi Jiang do whatever he wanted? It wasn't because she was taking advantage of her weaknesses. As long as he still had to take the exam, there was nothing he could do about Shi Jiang now.
.Unless he becomes a scoundrel and no longer thinks about his future.
But if this was the case, how could Shi Lan, who was already the daughter of the Zhao family, still be interested in her?
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes bitterly.
"No, I have to go to the Shi family and ask them how they educate their daughter."
Mother Zhou scolded her for a long time, and when she saw Zhou Qingli closing his eyes and lowering his head without saying a word, she suddenly became even more angry.
"Mom, please stop making noises and just leave me alone, okay?"
Seeing his own mother skipping around to find Shi Jiang at Shi's house and asking her why, Zhou Qingli's eyebrows twitched and he stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's mother's arm.
"Why do you mean I'm arguing? I'm not doing it for your own good, Qingli, tell me, why did Shi Jiang move the dowry back? No matter what, you can't divorce her!"
Zhou's mother would have been willing to help her younger son marry Shi Jiang. Of course, at the beginning, Shi's father could do some carpentry.
It is much better than those in the village who are digging for food in the fields with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess. Not to mention that the Shi family only has two daughters. The younger son marries the eldest daughter of the Shi family.
The family property belongs to the eldest daughter who is married to the same village.
That's why she and the old man divided up their youngest son as soon as he got married, and gave him two acres of land.
As long as Shi's father feels sorry for his daughter, he will naturally give the eldest daughter a hand.
As she expected, after getting married and learning that their eldest daughter and son-in-law were separated and living alone, the Shi family would help out from time to time.
Some time ago, I learned that the youngest daughter of the Shi family was not the Shi family's biological child. Now that she was taken away by a wealthy family, Zhou's mother was even more eyeing on the Shi family's property.
In her opinion, if the youngest daughter of the Shi family was taken away by a wealthy family in the county, she must not despise the three melons and two dates of the Shi family.
Although she called her youngest son to call her daughter-in-law yesterday and wanted to beat her up, Ms. Zhou never thought about divorcing Shijiang's daughter-in-law!
How could she be willing to divorce a daughter-in-law who worked so hard and could inherit the family business in the future?
"It's not divorce, it's harmony."
Hearing his mother's nagging, Zhou Qingli bit his back molars and squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"What?"
Mother Zhou was stunned when she heard this.
Nowadays, most women are divorced and go home, and there are so many reasons to find reasons for divorce.
It is basically unlikely to be a reconciliation. After all, if it is a reconciliation, it is mostly because the man is at fault, or the woman's natal family is too powerful and the man does not dare to offend.
But Shi's natal family is in the village, and we have known each other well since we have known each other for so many years.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to be the latter.
Then, there is only one possibility.
"What did you do?"
Thinking of this, Mother Zhou gritted her teeth and asked in a deep voice.
Zhou Qingli is the most likely person in the Zhou family to enter the official career, so he must not do anything wrong.
If his reputation is tarnished, how can he leap over the dragon's gate in the future?
Whether the Zhou family can turn around now all depends on whether the youngest son can pass the imperial examination and go to high school.
How could she tell the eldest daughter-in-law and the second-eldest daughter-in-law about the calculation of the family's property?
This kind of thing is easy to say but not easy to hear!
When Zhou Qingli heard his mother's question, he glanced at Mrs. Liu behind her, then lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Nothing!"
Liu's ears were pricked up at first, and she also wanted to know, what the hell did the third child do to allow such a good-tempered person like Shi Jiang to go home with him and Li?
Now I see the third child looking at her without saying a word, I know in my heart that this is because she is not willing to tell the truth!
This made her even more curious.
However, when she saw her mother-in-law looking at her fiercely, Mrs. Liu touched her nose and forced a smile and said: "Oh, I'll go back to feed the pigs first. Mother, please persuade my third brother that it's better for the couple to be the original couple."
After saying that, he walked away.
If she didn't leave now, she would probably have to suffer a lot when she got home later.
"Okay, now that there is no one, tell me, why did Shi Jiang want to make peace with you?"
Although Mother Zhou is greedy, she is not stupid.
Judging from the look on his youngest son's face, he knew that it was Shi Jiang who brought up the matter of reconciliation.
Without his second sister-in-law, Zhou Qingli hesitated for a moment and then told Shi Jiang everything about him and Shi Lan.
When Zhou's mother heard this, she covered her heart and opened her eyes wider than before.
Shilan?
The biological daughter who was picked up by Mr. Zhao, a wealthy family in the county?
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through Zhou's mother's mind.
Do I still need to choose this multiple-choice question for my in-laws who are farmers in the countryside and my in-laws who are gentlemen in the county?
As long as people are not stupid, they will naturally have to climb up!
"Was Lan sincere to you then?"
Mother Zhou's mind was spinning and she couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"Mom, Shi Lan and I were already in love with each other. It was only because you wanted me to marry Shi Jiang that you separated me from her."
