Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Sure enough. The questioning came faster than she expected.

Ms. Yan was asked immediately when she returned. “Ms. Yan, where is the roasted chicken? Why is it missing?”

Ms. Yan smiled and replied calmly. “Oh, I just visited Eldest Aunt and gave her some tofu and roasted chicken. I also gave the Third Aunt some tofu and meat.” “What?” Ms. Niu screamed. “You gave them one whole roasted chicken, and meat?”

Ms. Yan really hated her when she behaved like this. But she put on a calm look and smiled. “Yes. Eldest Aunt helped us before and I am just paying them back. We are relatives. We should interact with each other sincerely. Isn’t that right, Second Sister-in-law?”

Ms. Zhang sneered. Hearing that Ms. Yan was seeking confirmation from her, she thought that Ms. Yan was dragging her down so they could bear the vented anger from their mother-in-law together. She was not going to do that!

Ms. Zhang defended herself instantly. “Fourth Sister-in-law, you are wrong! The first section of the family is stingy and treats us badly. They don’t share their money with us. We are not cordial with each other any longer. But you delivered food to them? That is a big mistake!”

Ms. Niu nodded and was about to say something, when Ms. Yan interrupted. “You are wrong, Second Sister-in-law. Eldest Aunt and Uncle helped us a lot in the past, which was seen by the whole village. How can you say such things about them?”

Ms. Zhang sneered. “You also know that it was in the past!”

Ms. Yan. “Favor is a favor. The first section of the family has their life to spend, and we are also a family where everyone is healthy. We can do everything ourselves too. If they want to offer some help, that is kind of them. If they don’t want to, that is totally alright as well. After all, they don’t owe us anything, right?”

“We are cousins with the same grandparents, isn’t it good to be together? If you keep relying on them for help and want them to work for us for free, nobody would offer the help constantly. Honestly, Second Sister-in-law, do you want to work for the first section of the family without payment?”

Ms. Zhang felt that Ms. Yan was mocking her. She snapped. “You know nothing as a newly-wedded bride. I was giving you some insights, but now you are trying to teach me a lesson? You should know what our family is like, else you can ask Mom about it!”

Ms. Yan said, “Mom talks sensibly and logically. I may not know about our family, but this is a principle that doesn’t change irrespective of the people.”

Ms. Zhang sneered. “Speak with Mom about this then!”

Ms. Niii. .

Ms. Niu opened her mouth but felt a little bit too embarrassed to say anything.

“Ms. Yan, you don’t know anything about family affairs. Anyways, let’s just drop it this time. Ask me next time before you act, okay? When your grandparents-in-law passed away, your Eldest Uncle promised to help us. He can’t just ignore the promise!”

“That is their fault if they break the promise. Look at the house they have now, how wonderful! They ignore us when they have money. That won’t work!”

Ms. Yan.

She was speechless. Whatever she said just now did not have any impact.

How should they expect the first section of the family to take care of them? They had their own grandchildren already.

Ms. Yan did not answer Ms. Niu directly but smiled. “Mom, don’t worry. I only do things which I think I should do.. We should be sensible, right?”
