Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 461: You can kowtow, but who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?
Which daughter-in-law doesn’t kowtow to her mother-in-law?
But Li Mingxia, who shared the same thoughts with Zhang, was unwilling to do so!
"People have trouble speaking clearly when they get older. That's what I meant just now. I haven't seen you for such a long time, so I wanted the third daughter-in-law to kowtow to me. I spoke too quickly and said the wrong thing. Third daughter-in-law, if you don't despise an old woman like me, just come over and kowtow to me. It will show that you have me as your mother-in-law in your heart." As Mrs. Zheng spoke, she looked at Li Dalang with satisfaction. It was the first time in such a long time that she felt that her eldest son was pleasing to her eyes again.
Li Mei'e also perked up.
"I just don't know whether Third Sister-in-law is happy about it or not. Didn't that old woman say it just now? My Third Sister-in-law is in poor health if she sits on a cold bench. How can she kneel on such a cold ground? My Third Sister-in-law is a distinguished person now, not the same as before." Li Mei'e said sarcastically.
Everyone was waiting for Zhang to kneel down. Old Mrs. Zheng had even made up her mind that she would take this opportunity to teach Zhang a lesson. Anyway, if she knelt down, Zhang would not be too embarrassed to just stand up with a cold face unless she said something.
Things have come to this point. If Zhang doesn't kowtow to Old Madam Zheng, then the person who is showing off that Old Master Li just mentioned will become Zhang.
"I--"
"Aunt, you are right." Li Mingxia grabbed Zhang's hand and asked Zhang to sit back on the stool.
With her here today, no one can make Zhang bow her head!
It's not that you can't respect your mother-in-law, but someone like Old Mrs. Zheng who only thinks about torturing her daughter-in-law is not worthy!
"My mother is indeed a noble person. In our family, if we talk about who is the most precious, even Zhengde and Mingqiu and Mingdong have to rank behind. My elder brother and I can't even be ranked. It can only be my mother. My father said that women are in charge of the interior and men are in charge of the exterior. My mother has the final say on all matters big and small in the family. How can she not be considered noble?"
"Do you see these servants? They were all bought by my father. He felt sorry for my mother working so he bought them to serve her! How can they not be considered noble?"
"Grandma, you said my mother didn't think of coming to see you. Then let me ask you, every time during the holidays, my mother always gives you gifts, big or small. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of some people, what's the big deal about my mother coming or not? Aren't these the most important things?"
"I know. Are you trying to say that as a son and daughter-in-law, no matter how much we honor our parents, it's our duty? Then let me ask you, what have you done to honor my grandfather and my grandmother? Whether from oldest to youngest, or from young to oldest, our family ranks in the middle. Isn't that enough?"
When Li Mingxia said this, he pointed at Li Mei'e and Li Dalang, smiling with a mocking look on his face.
"My mother has been feeling unwell for the past two months. She has seen doctors several times, and they all said that the incident injured her body. So how did my mother lose a child? Did you not know, or did we not know?"
"Let alone a peasant family like us, even if it's a wealthy family, there's no reason for the daughter-in-law to kowtow just because she's not feeling well!"
"My mother can kneel. Not to mention my mother, everyone who comes here today can kneel. You can watch us kowtow a few times if you want. I just want to ask, if my mother has any health problems and is uncomfortable after returning home, who can we tell?"
Li Mingxia held Zhang's hand tightly, giving her endless strength.
Zhang took a deep breath and said nothing, but frowned, as if she was feeling unwell.
What happened to Zhang in the Li family's old house, no one dared to spread it, otherwise, whose daughter would dare to marry into the Li family?
"Logically speaking, we servants shouldn't say too much. It seems that the master and the mistress's parents are reasonable people. But why did this old servant just listen to the lady being asked to kowtow to the mother-in-law without even preparing a cushion and a red envelope? Is this the rule of the master's family? Then this old servant is really ignorant." Mrs. Sun smiled, bent down, and spoke in a respectful tone, but her words were sharp.
When Ma was working at the pawnbroker's shop, she often talked to Sun. Although the two of them didn't have a particularly good relationship, they still had some tacit understanding in how to respond to each other's words.
"You haven't heard of it, and neither have I. Is it really the custom here? Otherwise, how can people like the madam, the mother-in-law, and the father-in-law be treated like this? Isn't this considered mistreating the daughter-in-law?"
"No more uncles will talk about their own brother's wife. If such a thing happened in any wealthy family, you would probably laugh to death."
"Madam's uncle is a strange man. He is still alone at his age. I'm afraid..."
When the two old women came, Li Mingxia had already given them detailed instructions that no matter who bullied Zhang, they should just tell them back and not be polite at all, and they would definitely not be punished.
It wasn't that I was too busy to bring two girls here, but I thought that these two girls were young and shy, so there were some things they just couldn't say.
But it's different for the old ladies. They are so old, what haven't they seen? What can't they say?
As for that sentence just now, Xiao Tao and Xiao Li's faces turned red immediately after they understood it, but Ma Pozi and Sun Pozi didn't take it seriously at all.
Li Mingxia smiled secretly in his heart, and looking at Zhang's eyes wide open, sometimes a little embarrassed and sometimes happy, he couldn't help but smile.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up! You have no manners. Later, if I ask you to kneel down and kowtow, you won't be afraid of freezing to death in this freezing cold weather." Li Mingxia returned all the sarcastic words Li Mei'e had said just now without any change, even the tone was exactly the same, full of provocation.
"Are these the servants your family bought?" Li Dalang didn't care at all about how much trouble his words had brought to Old Lady Zheng. Instead, he stared at Xiaotao and Xiaoli with great interest.
The two girls were young, with pretty faces, and they were dressed neatly and cleanly. Maybe they were not very noticeable in the town, but in Qianniu Village, no one could compare to them.
Zhang and Li Mingxia were unwilling to talk to Li Dalang, so when they heard him talking they just pretended to be deaf and didn't hear anything. Only Li Sanlang was stared at by Li Dalang, so he didn't dare to ignore him directly. In addition, Li Mingxia had just mentioned that the family had bought servants, so Li Sanlang nodded and responded.
"Well, there's too much work to do at home, so I bought a few servants to help with the work."
