In a short time, everyone ate all the food in front of them, and not even a grain of rice residue was left in the bowl.
There was still a piece of rice porridge left in the pot. Meng Lan found a bowl and poured it out. There was still 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 dad."
This was the first sentence Meng Lan spoke, and it was also the result of her careful consideration. She always had to give a reasonable explanation for her transformation, and the dead He Laoliu was the best excuse. After all, dead people cannot speak. Whether it is black or white depends entirely on Meng Lan's own mouth.
Under the gaze of everyone, Meng Lan spoke, still speaking in the same tone as before, but for some reason, He Chuanzong could hear a bit of sadness.
He is Meng Lan's fourth child and first son. When his two younger brothers were still young and his father was not dead, Meng Lan loved him the most. To some extent, he missed him more than Meng Lan. Dad He Laoliu.
Meng Lan lowered her eyes slightly as she spoke. Her appearance in everyone's eyes meant that the old lady was sad. In fact, Meng Lan was lying because she felt guilty and was afraid of being discovered by others. She paused and continued.
"In the past few days, the third family member has been urging me to marry Zhaodi to the Yang family. To be honest, I have been hesitating in my heart. Last night, I dreamed about your father. He said that from now on, even if he tightens his belt, he will live a good life. We can no longer sell the flesh and blood of Lao He's family. He blamed me for mistreating the eldest and second eldest son over the years.
Heirlooms, family heirlooms, and godsends are all my sons, and they are all flesh that fell from my body. I don’t feel bad for any of them. It’s just that for so many years, I have favored Godsend and neglected family heirlooms and family heirlooms. Fortunately, it’s not too late. …
From now on, I will treat all three of you brothers equally, especially the third family. When he comes back, tell him that his two brothers have provided for him to study for so many years, and now he is a father. It's time to repay this family and his brothers. "
Meng Lan's words were like a thunderbolt to He Tianci's daughter-in-law, Yang. She knew in her heart that her mother-in-law's words meant that their third wife would no longer have any privileges from now on.
But these words fell like the sound of nature to the ears of the first and second rooms.
Especially the eldest brother He Chuanzong, he was so excited that he cried when he saw his own mother saying such words. After so many years, he knew that his mother loved him in her heart.
There was a glimmer of light in Mrs. Tian's eyes, and she immediately understood the change in her mother-in-law today. Thinking that her mother-in-law would no longer be a prostitute in the future, she finally felt relieved.
The second child, He Chuanjia, looked a little moved, but the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang, had a dull face and didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
Tian is the eldest daughter in the family. She is used to taking care of her younger brothers and sisters, and her temper could not be more docile.
Mrs. Jiang is different from her elder sister-in-law, Mrs. Tian. Mrs. Jiang has older brothers and sisters, and younger brothers and sisters. In the middle, she has a father who doesn't love her mother, and she has had her own ideas since she was a child.
At that time, she fell in love with the second son of the He family because He Chuanjia was able to endure hardships and was hard-working. She thought that the couple would have a good life if they worked hard, but she did not expect that there would be such a mother-in-law, and He Chuanjia was still filial.
Ms. 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 trying to hold back a big incident later.
She hesitated again and again, but decided to get into trouble and test Meng Lan.
"Mom, our family still has to rely on the third brother's education to make a living. Doesn't this delay the third brother's future?"
These words were also Meng Lan's favorite words in the past. When the original person was still alive, he used these words to educate these people in his family every day. Jiang's tone was cautious, but no matter how careful she was, she was already prepared to be scolded.
But the expected scolding did not appear. On the contrary, Meng Lan scolded He Tianci.
"What kind of book should I read? I haven't been able to make a name for myself in reading for so many years. I don't think he is good at reading. I think he can read the sage's book even if his wife, brothers and niece are hungry. I think he has read it into the belly of a dog. Oh! I haven’t taken a penny from home in so many years!”
The more Meng Lan scolded, the more energetic she became. The more Yang heard it, the darker his vision became, and his heart began to tremble.
Oh my God, things had changed when I woke up. She and He Tianci were not only going to be the lowest in the family, but they were also going to be the ones everyone wanted to beat up.
"Ms. Yang, tell him when he comes back next time. No, you will take a ride to town tomorrow and tell him. Just say that his mother said that the family will not give him another penny. From now on, he will either Either pay a lot of money to the family, or come back and farm with his eldest brother and second brother!"
The usual amount of money is only one thousand cents, and Meng Lan is not like a lion. He Tianci has been reading for so many years and can read and write.
If he is diligent, he can write letters for others and earn ten cents per letter. If he copies books, he can earn two to three hundred cents per copy. He can also help others keep accounts...
There were so many ways to make money in the town, but it was easier than his eldest and second brothers working hard. It’s shameful that He Tianci reaches out to ask for money from his family at such an old age!
Meng Lan said something, and Yang's heart twitched. After Meng Lan said a lot of crackling words, Yang was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Given the old lady's attitude today, I'm afraid they won't be able to live a happy life in the future! She wanted to buy brown sugar to drink before, but she might not even be able to have a full meal in the future.
But when Mrs. Jiang heard Meng Lan's words, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Her mother-in-law scolded her brother-in-law. This was the first time 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 still a good start. This meant that He Tianci's position in Meng Lan's heart was shaken. .
"It's getting late, and our family doesn't have enough money to light the lights. Let's go back to the house and rest."
Meng Lan looked at the almost dark sky outside, and thought that she had pretty much said what she needed to say today. Changes were happening day by day, and that was all she wanted today, so she asked everyone to go back to their respective rooms.
After Meng Lan spoke, Tian, He Zhaodi and He Pandi from the first house got up and started to clear away the dishes. Usually, the first house and the second house took turns to do these tasks at home, and today it happened to be the first house's turn.
At first, when the third daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yang, first came in, she was still pretending, and the three daughters-in-law took turns.
It wasn't until Yang gave birth to her son that her tail was about to reach the sky. She simply quit and bullied her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, two honest people. The original person of the biased eye also turned a blind eye.
But Meng Lan would not get used to Yang's problem, "Tian, please put down your things and go back to the house to rest. From now on, let Yang do all the things at home."
"Mom, this, this... wasn't it agreed before? My eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and they will take turns doing it!"
When Yang heard Meng Lan say that she would do it from now on, she couldn't bear it anymore. If she doesn't say something for herself, she may be stepped into the mud by her elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law.
Hearing Yang's words, Meng Lan stared at her with a half-smile and asked, "Did you do it before?"
Yang, who had originally prepared a long list of words, was instantly speechless by Meng Lan's light words.
She did not do it before. If her mother-in-law didn't care, then nothing would happen, but now her mother-in-law cares. Yang stood there, hesitating and speechless.
