The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 5 I Dreamed About Your Dad
In a short while, everyone had finished the food in front of them, and there was not even a grain of rice left in the bowl.
There was still some rice porridge left in the pot, so Meng Lan found a bowl and poured it out, which was enough for half a bowl. Meng Lan placed the half bowl of rice porridge in front of her, ignoring Yang's eager look.
"I dreamed about your father."
This was Meng Lan's first sentence, and it was the result of her careful consideration. She always had to give a reasonable explanation for her transformation, and the death of He Laoliu was the best excuse. After all, the dead can't speak, and whether it is right or wrong depends on Meng Lan's own mouth.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Meng Lan spoke, still using the same tone as her original self, but for some reason, He Chuanzong could hear a hint of sadness in her voice.
He is Meng Lan's fourth child and her first son. When her two younger brothers were still young and their father was still alive, Meng Lan loved him the most. To some extent, he missed his father He Laoliu more than Meng Lan did.
Meng Lan lowered her eyes as she spoke. In everyone's eyes, she looked like the old lady was sad, but in reality, Meng Lan was lying because she felt guilty and was afraid of being discovered. She paused and continued.
"A few days ago, the third son's family kept urging me to marry Zhaodi to the Yang family. To be honest, I was hesitant. Last night, I dreamed of your father. He said that even if he had to tighten his belt to make ends meet, he would never sell the He family's own flesh and blood. He blamed me for mistreating the eldest and second sons for so many years.
Chuanzong, Chuanjia, and Tianci are all my sons, all flesh and blood that fell from my body. I love all of them, but for so many years I have favored Tianci and neglected Chuanzong and Chuanjia. Fortunately, it is not too late...
From now on, I will treat you three brothers equally, especially the third brother. When he comes back, tell him that it was his two brothers who supported him in his studies for so many years. Now that he is a father, it is time for him to repay this family and his brothers. "
Meng Lan's words were like a bolt from the blue to He Tianci's wife, Yang. She knew in her heart that her mother-in-law's words meant that their third room would no longer have any privileges from now on.
But these words sounded like heavenly music to the ears of the first and second wives.
Especially the eldest brother, He Chuanzong, he was so excited that he almost cried when he saw his own mother could say such words. After so many years, he knew that his mother loved him in her heart.
There was also some light in Tian's eyes. She immediately understood the change in her mother-in-law today. Thinking that her mother-in-law would not sell Zhaodi in the future, she finally let go of her worries.
The second son, He Chuanjia, also looked somewhat moved, but his wife, Jiang, had a wooden face and no one knew what she was thinking.
Tian was the eldest daughter in the family. She was used to taking care of her younger siblings and her temperament was very gentle.
Jiang is different from her elder sister-in-law Tian. Jiang has older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters. She is in the middle and is not loved by her father or mother. She has had her own ideas since she was young.
Back then, she fell in love with the second son of the He family because she saw that He Chuanjia was hardworking and diligent. She thought that the couple would have a good life if they worked hard. However, she didn't expect that she would have such a mother-in-law, and that He Chuanjia was such a filial person.
Jiang always felt that her mother-in-law Meng Lan's attitude today was too abnormal. She wondered if she was lying to them and was planning something big to happen later.
After much hesitation, she decided to take this bad luck and test Meng Lan.
"Mom, our family still has to rely on my third brother to study and make a living. Isn't this going to hinder his future?"
This was also Meng Lan's favorite thing to say in the past. When her original body was still alive, she used this to educate the people in the family every day. Jiang's tone was cautious, but no matter how careful she was, she was ready to be scolded.
But the expected scolding did not appear. Instead, Meng Lan scolded He Tianci.
"What books are you reading? He hasn't made any progress in all these years. I don't think he is cut out for studying. He allowed his mother, brothers, and nieces to continue reading the sage books while starving. I think he has read nothing! He hasn't contributed a penny to the family in all these years!"
Meng Lan cursed more and more vigorously, and the more Yang listened, the darker her vision became, and her heart began to tremble.
Oh my God, when she woke up, the world had changed. Not only would she and He Tianci become the lowest class in the family, but they would also be hated by everyone.
"Yang, wait for the third brother to come back next time and tell him, no, you should take a bus to the town tomorrow and tell him that his mother said that the family will not give him a penny anymore, and from now on he should either pay one string of money to the family every month, or come back to farm with his eldest and second brothers!"
One guan of money is equivalent to one thousand coins, so Meng Lan did not ask for too much. He Tianci had studied for so many years and could read, count, and write.
If he was more diligent, he could earn ten coins for writing letters for others, and two or three hundred coins for copying books. He could also help others keep accounts...
There are so many ways to make money in town, and none of them are easier than working hard for his elder and second brothers. It's a pity that He Tianci still has to ask for money from his family even though he's so old!
Every time Meng Lan said something, Yang's heart would skip a beat. After Meng Lan finished talking so much, Yang was so scared that she almost fainted.
Just based on the old lady's attitude today, I'm afraid that their third room will not have a happy life in the future! She wanted to buy brown sugar to drink before, but she probably won't even be able to eat a full meal in the future.
But when Jiang heard what Meng Lan said, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
This was the first time that her mother-in-law scolded her brother-in-law in all the years she had been married to the He family. Regardless of whether her mother-in-law could be so cruel to her brother-in-law, it was a good start, which meant that He Tianci's position in Meng Lan's heart was shaken.
"It's getting late, and we don't have the money to light the lamps. Let's all go back to the house and rest."
Meng Lan looked at the sky outside which was almost getting dark, and thought that she had said almost everything that needed to be said today. Things change day by day, and it was enough for her to convey her meaning today, so she asked everyone to go back to their rooms.
After Meng Lan spoke, Tian, He Zhaodi and He Pandyi from the first wife's house stood up to clean up the dishes. These chores at home were usually taken turns by the first and second wives, and today it was the first wife's turn.
When the third daughter-in-law Yang first came into the house, she was just pretending to do the job, and the other three daughters-in-law took turns doing it.
After Yang gave birth to a son, she became so proud that she just gave up and bullied her elder and second sisters-in-law, who were both honest people. The original person who was biased also turned a blind eye.
But Meng Lan would not indulge Yang's bad habits. "Tian, put your things down and go back to your room to have a rest. From now on, let Yang do all the housework."
"Mom, this, this... didn't we agree on this before? My eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law and I will take turns doing it!"
When Yang heard Meng Lan say that she would do everything from now on, she could no longer hold back. If she didn't speak up for herself, she was afraid that she would be trampled into the mud by her eldest and second sisters-in-law.
Hearing Yang's words, Meng Lan stared at her with a half-smile and asked, "What did you do before?"
Yang, who had prepared a lot of words, was instantly speechless after hearing Meng Lan's light words.
She really didn't do it before. If her mother-in-law didn't care, then nothing would happen. But now her mother-in-law cares about it. Yang stood there, hesitating and unable to speak.
