He is really honest, and he can't get anything out of him even if you hit him with three sticks. It's better to choose those smart ones. Now the original owner regrets it. This family is crowded together, and although there is strength in numbers, there are also more calculations.

Just because I was pregnant and sick in bed, those two sisters-in-law were like "no nose" and "no eyes", often making trouble outside and even making indirect accusations.

"Oh, everyone goes through this when they are pregnant. When I was pregnant with our eldest child, wasn't I also working in the fields? You are just being pretentious. Now you are still lying in bed resting."

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking. It's our fate to be miserable. It's our fault that we can't compare to her because she has a dowry in her hands!"

"The most important thing for a woman is to be obedient, obedient and virtuous, especially after getting married, she must be diligent, unlike some people who take advantage of their pregnancy and just lie in the house and rest all day."

"It's because our mother-in-law is kindhearted that she can tolerate such a person. If I were a mother-in-law in the future, I would definitely not let my son marry such a daughter-in-law."

…………

Su Tong was listening to the noise outside while eating melon seeds. The problem with this ancient house is that it has no sound insulation at all.

Su Tong didn't care about their indirect criticism. After all, he would just be criticized by others and it wouldn't cost him much. The key point was that their behavior was too chilling. They just fed him bland soup all day long, which almost made him starve.

But Mrs. Zhao should have noticed that the food supply at home was gradually decreasing...

Mrs. Zhao did notice it. At first, there were fewer eggs in the house. She thought it was because the winter was getting colder, so the hens stopped laying eggs. But then the food in the cellar also became less than before, which meant something was wrong.

Mrs. Zhao watched the grain in the cellar like her eyeballs and basically went down to count them twice a day. Now she suddenly found that there were less grains, and most of them were fine grains. Her scalp suddenly went numb and she immediately rushed out of the yard and cursed loudly.

"Who the hell stole my food? You are such a cheap woman who gave birth to a son without an asshole. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? I worked so hard to save that little food, and I was reluctant to eat or drink it, but I didn't expect it to be taken advantage of by a thief.

You bastard, don't let me catch you, or I will skin you and hang you on a tree to dry.

My food, I worked so hard to grow it, it’s all because of that bastard, the son he gave birth to has no anus, the daughter he gave birth to can’t get married, the whole family is full of bastards…”

Hahaha……

Su Tong covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud. This old lady Zhao was really ignorant and could curse at anything. However, she did not think that most of the people who could steal her food were her family members.

Only an old woman with a slow mind can curse at one's own people. But just curse them, since you are getting the upper hand anyway.

Mrs. Zhao did suspect that the curses of her daughters-in-law were getting more and more unpleasant, and they were even directed at the daughters-in-law's rooms. However, after cursing for a long time, except for the eldest daughter-in-law's wife who glanced at them twice quietly, no one else took any action.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao could only return to her room in silence, slapping her thighs hard, wondering in her heart which daughter-in-law had stolen her food?

The eldest son’s wife?

That should be impossible, mainly because although the eldest brother's wife looks quite cunning, she can't escape from his control.

The second son's wife had the courage to do this, but at most she would just steal a few eggs or some food. She definitely didn't have the courage to steal the fine grains in her own cellar.

The third son’s wife?

Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head vigorously. It was impossible that the third son's wife was still lying in bed taking care of her pregnancy. Besides, she looked so weak that she would not do anything sneaky.

Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her heart ached. Her fine grains were gone just like that. If she had eaten sparingly, she could have made dumplings for the New Year.

Although Mrs. Zhao stopped cursing, she ran to her daughters-in-law's rooms and searched around when they were not paying attention. After finding no trace of fine grains, she left the room unwillingly.

However, when Mrs. Zhao came to Su Tong's room, her eyes lit up when she saw the large wooden cabinets and even the thick cotton quilts in the room.

"Third son's wife, the weather has been getting colder recently. How nice it would be if your father-in-law and I had a thick cotton quilt..." Mrs. Zhao said as she stretched out her hand. It was obvious that if the other party was unwilling to give it, she would just snatch it away.

Su Tong didn't want to spoil him, and directly stuffed her two quilts into the cabinet, "Oh, my mother-in-law is freezing, it's really our fault as daughters-in-law.

Don't worry, mother-in-law. Even if I have a miscarriage, I will still lie in bed and make lace and shoe soles, and try to earn more money. Then I can make a few thick quilts for you and father-in-law."

Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't there a ready-made quilt? You are not reluctant to give it to me and your father-in-law."

"Of course not, it's just that these are my dowry. Since ancient times, dowry has been a woman's private property. I think our Zhao family will be thinking about a woman's dowry. If this gets out, others will laugh at us. Besides, my sister-in-law is also going to get married..."

Mrs. Zhao still values her little girl very much. After hearing this, she immediately withdrew her hand and said, "Ahem... I was just talking casually, but the matter of the thick quilt..."

Su Tong touched her belly and said, "Please rest assured, mother-in-law. When my husband and I have money, we will make you and father-in-law some nice clothes and some thick quilts."

Mrs. Zhao was still a little unwilling, "When your sister-in-law gets married, you, as her sister-in-law, must also show your care."

"Of course. The third brother also mentioned this when he was at home. He said that when the weather is good one day, he will go to the mountain to find some good wood and make some good furniture for my sister-in-law."

Having said that, Mrs. Zhao had no choice but to leave. However, she took a look at the boxes before leaving. This daughter-in-law had a rich dowry, so there must be a lot of good things in the boxes...

After Su Tong and others left, they thought that when Zhao Laosan came back, they would ask him to add another lock behind the door to prevent others from coming in by simply pushing the door open, leaving them with no privacy at all.

After the fall, the weather became colder day by day. The men in the family were busy tidying up the fields, and the women did some simple things, but most of the time they went to the mountains to chop wood. The weather was cold, and if there was no wood for heating in winter, it would be easy to freeze to death.

Because Su Tong was in poor health due to pregnancy, she had been staying at home to take care of the baby. As a result, people from her mother's side received the news, and the next day her sister-in-law brought the original owner's mother over, but they brought a few crucian carps and a piece of pork.

Su's mother could be said to have taken etiquette to the extreme, at least leaving no room for others to find fault with her. She went to pay a visit to Mrs. Zhao first, and when she took out the gift, Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.

"Oh, mother-in-law, you said you would come, so why did you bring anything with you? This is too polite..."
