Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 60 Why Keep Relatives When You Have Land in Your Hands?

The daughters thought of their grandparents, and uncle, nodded heavily, and then relaxed.

As the ox cart went up the hill, Zhao's mother's sharp voice was heard: "Oh, you still remember to come back! A widow with a child went so far and didn't know to come back early. People who know that you have returned to your parents' home will think that you have gone to find a man.

"This is really bringing shame to our Zhao family. Before the family split up, we ate the chickens and eggs whenever we wanted. Now that we've split up, we feed so many chickens and ducks, but we don't know how many to give to my mother-in-law."

After Yang Xiuying left, her mother felt more and more that something was wrong. How could a woman raising several children alone come up with so much money to support her parents? She rushed to Xiuying's house in a hurry. Through the fence outside the house, she saw flocks of chickens and ducks in the chicken coop. She immediately slapped her thighs and started to call out.

When he got tired of shouting, he sat down outside Xiuying's yard, waiting for Xiuying to come back and ask for an explanation.

The fourth and fifth brothers got anxious when they heard the egg.

"Grandma, last time you didn't give Auntie any food for a few days, we took an egg from you. When you found out, you beat us up."

"Yeah, you also said that we girls can't eat eggs."

Mother Zhao certainly couldn't let the two younger generations suppress her like this, so she took out her strength and criticized the fourth and fifth children: "No matter what, I am still your father's biological mother and your biological grandmother. As an elder, how can I not hit you?

Your father has been on the battlefield for three years and there has been no news. Everyone says he's dead. For the past three years, I, your grandmother, have been raising you, and this is how you treat me, your grandmother!

When the two girls heard the word "Daddy", they drooped their heads and stopped talking.

Zhao's mother wanted to use Zhao Yun to suppress these girls. The girls had a father-daughter relationship with Zhao Yun, but Xiuying did not have a husband-wife relationship with Zhao Yun!

Yang Xiuying held the two little ones in her arms and said seriously, "Mother, have you forgotten that we have separated? Since we have separated, whether we live well or not has nothing to do with you!

As for your son Zhao Yun, does it matter whether he is alive or dead? My seven daughters have never received a penny from him since they were born, and his military pay has never come into my hands.

When Zhao's mother heard this, her face changed. What she meant was that she wanted a few chickens from the chicken coop. She had made it so obvious, but Yang Xiuying still didn't understand?

Why did it involve that little son who is missing and has no trace of his body? Wouldn't it be better to just catch a few chickens for her?

"What are you talking about? Even if Yun'er is dead, you are still the daughter-in-law of our Zhao family. We are still a family. As long as I am still alive, you still have to respect me.

If I hadn't given you those chickens when you separated from the family, would you have the chickens you have in your chicken coop now?"

The sixth and seventh brothers, who were held in Yang Xiuying's arms, said

"Grandma, if we split up, we're no longer a family."

"When the word 'home' is separated, it is not 'home'. It only becomes 'home' when it is put together."

Mother Zhao was so angry at her two children that she was holding back her anger. She noticed the large baskets of dried vegetables and a jar of pickled vegetables on the oxcart and laughed at her, "You brought two large baskets of wheat bran to your parents' home, and they only gave you a jar of pickled vegetables? I think you only care about giving back to your parents' home after making a little money. You used to live a good life in my Zhao family, and I don't know how many good things you gave to your parents' home."

Yang Xiuying turned to Zhao's mother and said, "You must be mistaken. Before the family split up, it was always my mother's family who bought the meat and ended up in the stomachs of your precious grandchildren."

Mother Zhao gritted her teeth and glared at Xiuying, looking at the candied haws in the hands of the two little ones!

"You are such a spendthrift! If my son were alive, he would be pissed off to death by you. Just raise these girls with some nonsense, and in the end they will belong to other families.

You are so generous, you even bought these girls candied haws. Why don't you see that you are right? It is so good to bring honor to your family and become rich and powerful. A boy is your own. You can't give birth to one, you are unlucky, and you don't know how to treat your own nephew well. In the future, there will be a nephew who will break the brazier for you."

Xiuying couldn't stand hearing Zhao's mother talking about her daughter.

This old woman hadn't given birth to her or raised her, much less her daughter. She said in a cold tone, "These candied haws were bought by the children's uncle. Each girl has one."

When Zhao's mother heard that it was bought by the Yang family, she rolled her eyes. She came here today just to make Yang Xiuying unhappy. This little bitch is doing nothing after the separation from the family!

"Isn't it just a bunch of candied haws? Is it worth it for you to specifically mention it? You're afraid that others don't know. You've been eating and drinking for free in my house for so many years, and I've never heard you say anything good about me, your mother-in-law.

You didn’t even think about buying a few strings for your nephews, but just thought about these money-losing goods!

Sixth and seventh brothers, give the candied haws in your hands to grandma. You four cousins haven't eaten them yet."

When the sixth and seventh sisters heard that grandma wanted their candied haws, the older sisters had already eaten them on the way, so they each left one, and the two girls opened their mouths and took a bite.

Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes. Now even the two little ones dared to disobey her.

Yang Xiuying protected the sixth and seventh children and said sternly, "If the Guangzong Yaozu and the rich and powerful want to eat, just ask the eldest sister-in-law to buy it for them. Since we have divided the family, my family is my family, and the eldest brother's family is the eldest brother's family.

My nephews haven't eaten it. That's my eldest brother and his wife's business. Why do they take my daughter's food?

My mother-in-law must have known that I was holding a grudge against the sixth and seventh sons for bringing honor and wealth to the family last time.

Now my mother-in-law keeps using my daughters to insult my precious daughters, so I have no choice but to sever ties with the Zhao family."

The seven little kids looked at Xiuying with their eyes wide open. They had always thought that the village chief had handled the last matter fairly and they even got three chickens. They didn't expect that their mother had always cared about it and now wanted to break off the engagement with their grandmother?

But since they are orphans and widows, can this relationship be severed? How can it be severed?

Mother Zhao pointed at Xiuying with trembling hands, "You crazy woman, not only are you disrespectful to your mother-in-law, but now you're trying to break off the relationship! I'm telling you, I'm not dead yet!"

"Whether you're dead or alive, this relationship is a foregone conclusion!

Where in the world can you find a mother-in-law as biased as you, or a sister-in-law as vicious as Tian? I'm putting it this way, you have to break off this relationship. Tomorrow I'll ask Shenghui from the village head's family to write a letter of severance for me."

Yang Xiuying spoke frankly. She had already planned to sever ties with the Zhao family when the family split up. The split up was just to gain land for herself and her children. In this era, one cannot live without land.

In modern terms, those lands, fertile fields and forests are her common property with her husband and wife. Now that she has the land and money in her pocket, will the Zhao family still keep her for the New Year?
