Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Vicious Mother-in-law 30

The next day, Ma Xiangling went to the county town.

Yuan Chun handed the flawed fabric to Qian Hongmei and said, ”These days, don’t go to work. Take leave to stay at home and make a new set of clothes for Xiang Dong. If there’s extra fabric, make a pair of trousers for yourself.”

Qian Hongmei’s eyes turned red with emotion, ”Mom, I just made new clothes not long ago. Making so many, I can’t wear them all. I’d rather make a pair of trousers for you. You haven’t had new clothes for a long time. I’ll finish it quickly, so you can wear the new trousers when my sister-in-law gets married.”

”No need. I’m an old woman about to die. What do I need new clothes for? There’s no sense wasting fabric. If you don’t want to make them for yourself, make a pair of trousers each for Daya and Erya. They can’t wear anything too shabby when school starts next year.”

”Then I’ll make a pair of trousers each for Daya and Erya,” Qian Hongmei said.

Holding the fabric, she hesitated and asked, ”Mom, are you really going to keep all my sister-in-law’s betrothal gifts?”

”Of course, I really mean it. Such things, how could I possibly say something false to Lingzi? Anyway, the Three Turns One Sound will be used by your big house later on, as compensation for the hardships you two have endured all these years.”

Qian Hongmei’s eyes moistened with emotion. Her chest filled with the bliss of happiness, she said, ”Mom, that’s all in the past. No need to bring it up anymore. From now on, our family will live harmoniously and happily. Xiang Dong and I will take good care of you and support you.”

Yuan Chun nodded in appreciation, ”Good, good, good. First daughter-in-law, you are good. The second couple is lazy, and the third couple is too calculating. They are all ungrateful wolves. When I am old and can’t move, I certainly won’t be able to rely on them. I can only rely on you and the oldest. You and the oldest are honest, filial, and kind-hearted. If I live with you, you won’t mistreat me as this old woman.”

”Mom, Xiang Dong and I will definitely take good care of you.”

”I know. Among the three daughters-in-law, you are the most filial.” Yuan Chun waved her hand, ”Quickly go and be busy. I’m an old woman who’s tired and wants to rest for a while.”

”Mom, please have a good rest.”

Upon leaving, Qian Hongmei’s eyes were moist with tears of emotion.

Previously, she heard what her mother-in-law and sister-in-law talked about.

Her mother-in-law would keep the Three Turns One Sound and the bride price money, which surprised her. After all, her mother-in-law used to adore her sister-in-law. Now, her mother-in-law has completely leaned toward their big house.

She was very delighted.

She and Xiang Dong have been wholeheartedly devoted to this family for so many years, finally warming her mother-in-law’s heart.

Making her mother-in-law see the good in her and Xiang Dong.

However, when she returned to the room and looked at the Three Turns One Sound, her heart trembled uneasily, feeling troubled keeping the wedding gifts meant for her sister-in-law.

The next day, before Ma Xiangling had breakfast, she went to the county town to find Wang Yingying and poured out her grievances in tears.

Upon learning that her mother-in-law would keep all the bride price sent by the Han Family, Wang Yingying panicked, ”Sister-in-law, did you mishear? Didn’t Mom always adore you? How could she not prepare any dowry for you?”

If her sister-in-law were to marry into the Han Family with nothing, how would she face Director Han? Wouldn’t the Han Family blame her?

No, she needs to go back and persuade her mother-in-law.

But thinking of her increasingly unreasonable mother-in-law, who loves to hit people at the slightest provocation, Wang Yingying didn’t dare to step forward.

”Sister-in-law, Mom used to spoil you so much. Your pocket money was never cut short. Have you saved some private funds over the years?”
