Chapter 162 Shameless [Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law]
How could Zhou Chunfeng lead troops to fight?
He was such a useless person in the past, does he know what war is?
However, he also saw with his own eyes how decisive and imposing Zhou Chunfeng was on the battlefield, and Zhou Laosan still couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes, Zhou Laosan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zhou Chunfeng knew that it was the rebel army that truly unified the country in the previous life.
So, after his rebirth, he tried every possible means to join the rebel camp?
But it was obvious that in their previous life, Zhou Chunfeng and his wife died earlier than anyone else. How could they know which army would rule the country in the end? Even Zhou Xingyue couldn't know.
Why does Zhou Chunfeng have such a smooth life and can get whatever he wants? Now he is a general of the rebel army. If the rebel army pacifies the world in the future, won’t he be a founding hero and a famous general?
The more Zhou Laosan thought about it, the more disgusted he felt. Why did the first wife get all the good things in life?
snort!
Thinking of this, Zhou Laosan was very dissatisfied and angry. He grabbed a steamed bun and took big bites of it, as if he was eating the bun as Zhou Chunfeng's meat.
Xiao Lin was frightened by the abnormal behavior of the man in charge and didn't know what to do. She quickly served her daughter half a bowl of soup and broke off half a steamed bun for the child.
During this time, the mother and daughter did not dare to make a sound.
Yanzhou City, Cheng Mansion.
It was not until the fifteenth day of the month, half a month later, that Madam Cheng and Daren learned that Jing'er had gone to Changsheng Island to study.
If Liang had not brought the children to the old lady's inner courtyard to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the confined mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have been completely unaware of it.
Because it was an order given by Deputy General Cheng himself, no one was allowed to pass on any matters concerning the mansion to the old lady's courtyard, which made this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law very upset.
At this moment, Mrs. Da learned that Cheng Jin went to Shangsheng Island to study, leaving her Kang Ge'er behind. She felt very resentful and thought that it must be Liang's fault.
Old Madam Cheng also thought so and attacked Liang in public.
Unexpectedly, Liang was completely unimpressed by Old Lady Cheng's tricks. She still looked respectful and said, "Mother, it's not my influence that Jin'er has caught the eye of Lady Li, the island master. Besides, it was the master who agreed to let Jin'er go to school."
Old Madam Cheng was so angry that she banged the ground with her cane. "Don't think I don't know. I have always treated my children fairly. Why can Jing'er go to school but Kang'er can't?"
Cheng Kang, who was named, lowered his head submissively. He was very smart and knew that he was living under the care of the lady. If he said something wrong and it got to his master's ears, he would definitely be punished.
So, he just needed to pretend to be aggrieved, and his grandmother and mother would vent her anger.
"Since mother doesn't believe what her daughter-in-law said, then please ask the master to come over and ask her."
When Old Lady Cheng saw that Liang dared to bring up her son, her face turned blue with anger: "You are so rebellious! Do you still think I am your mother-in-law in your eyes now?"
"Mother, look at what you said. Your daughter-in-law naturally respects you, so how could she not take you seriously?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Da interrupted with indignation, "Since the Madam says so, then tomorrow we will send our Kang'er to Changsheng Island to attend school. Otherwise, no matter how much the Madam and I say, no one will believe you."
Liang hadn't wanted to pay any attention to Da, but seeing how shameless she was, she couldn't remain indifferent. "I'm afraid Madam Da has forgotten how you and Kang'er treated Madam Li on the island that day. Even the master couldn't bring himself to do this, so how could I bring myself to do this?"
Da was choked by the rebuke and angrily turned to her aunt, Mrs. Cheng, for help.
Old Madam Cheng sneered, "Hmph, it's not just rumors that you and Lady Li are sworn sisters. Your words are certainly more effective than my son's. After all, Kang'er still calls you mother. As a mother, there's no reason for you not to plan for your child's future."
Da raised his chin indignantly: "That's right."
Liang rolled her eyes in her heart. It was true that Da Xiaoniang's children were now raised in her yard, and they treated her, the eldest lady, with respect on the surface, but she thought she didn't know what kind of personalities this pair of siblings had in private.
She just wanted to make sure the child had enough food and clothing. After all, they were old enough to remember things, so why should she care about such an ungrateful person whom she had never even grown acquainted with?
"Forgive my daughter-in-law for being incompetent, and I hope you won't force me."
Bang~
As soon as Liang finished speaking, a cup of hot tea fell directly in front of her feet. The splashing hot tea wet the hem of her embroidered shoes and skirt, but she stood still.
The timid Yi Jie'er was so scared that her eyes turned red, and she wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
Although Cheng Kang and Cheng Hua, brother and sister, lowered their brows, a hint of pride flashed in the corners of their eyes.
In Cheng Kang's mind, it doesn't matter whether he goes to school or not, because he doesn't like studying.
"How dare you!" After smashing the teacup, Old Madam Cheng slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How could there be such a disobedient and unfilial person like you in this world? I have asked you with such a stern face to find an education for your own child, how come it is so difficult?"
"Don't think that just because Kang'er is a bastard, he can't stop your son, Jin'er, from being born, that you don't care about him. Liang, you'd better remember this: Kang'er is the eldest son of our Cheng family. In my eyes, regardless of whether he's legitimate or illegitimate, he will be the head of the Cheng family in the future. As a mother, you don't treat your child well now, and you think you'll be fine in the future."
Liang really felt that it was ridiculous to stand here and listen to her mother-in-law's nonsense.
At this moment, Da noticed the jade pendant hanging on Yi Jie'er's belt. She suddenly stood up from her seat, took two steps forward and rushed towards Yi Jie'er.
Sister Yi was startled. Liang quickly protected her daughter behind her: "Mrs. Da, why are you doing this?"
Mrs. Da seemed to have just realized her own recklessness and shrugged awkwardly in front of Old Madam Cheng: "No reason, it's just that the jade pendant on Sister Yi looked nice, so I was curious. Look how nervous and stingy you are."
Old Madam Cheng followed up with a sneer: "It's not worthy of being on the table."
Liang: ...
This shameless aunt and nephew really opened her eyes.
Sister Yi's eyes were red, and she timidly reached out to cover the jade pendant on her waist.
Cheng Hua also looked over. She had noticed earlier that this little girl was wearing something nice and had tried to trick her into giving it to her several times, but the little girl just wouldn't give it to her.
"Mom, my fourth sister said the jade pendant was given to her by her aunt." Cheng Hua said.
Madam Cheng and Mrs. Da were stunned when they heard this, thinking, how could Liang have any sisters?
However, he soon thought of Lady Li from Changsheng Island, and a sour feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Madam Cheng showed disdain on her face: "It's just a jade pendant, what's so precious about it? Hua Jie'er is your sister, sisters shouldn't be so selfish."
Mrs. Da also said, "That's right. If your aunt can give you one piece, she can definitely give you a second piece. You can give this piece to your sister."
Sister Yi was so frightened that her face turned pale and tears were about to come out. She felt like her grandmother and mother were going to steal her things.
Liang simply didn't want to waste time arguing with this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couple. Seeing that it was getting late, she took Yi Jie'er to bow.
"Mother, there are still things in the mansion that need my daughter-in-law to take care of. I will stop here to greet you today."
Sister Yi held her mother's hand and bowed hurriedly, fearing that if she was a step slower, the jade pendant given by her aunt would disappear.
