Chapter 734 Wu Ya's Parents
There were only people coming in and no one leaving. They did come to her house a few times, each time to get some vegetables, and left with a lot of bags. If she hadn't been afraid of a bad influence, she would have kicked them out long ago. How could she let them come to her house?
Li exchanged a few pleasantries and went to cook. Although there were no delicious dishes, how could she not have some wild vegetable pickles?
The stepmother said to Wu Ya, "You are pregnant now. If you can give birth to a son for the Zhou family, you will have a firm foothold in the Zhou family. Don't forget your brothers when you become rich. You are Wu after all. The Zhou family is big and powerful. Who knows if Zhou Gu will marry a second wife one day. Where will there be a place for you?"
You have to remember that only your natal family can support you. If your natal family is doing well, the Zhou family will have to think twice before marrying a second wife. When the family is divided in the future, let your brothers come. Who dares not to give you a larger share? Only your natal brothers can support you. Don't be stupid. Only when your brothers are doing well can you be well!"
Father Wu said dryly, "You have to think more about your brothers."
Wu Ya touched her belly and said, "Dad, Mom, please don't come over if you have nothing to do. My brothers are still young. Who will cook for them when you come out?"
Before she had a child, she didn't dare to break off relations with her parents' family, thinking that she would have a way out just in case. Now that she has a child, she is content with having a son, and it doesn't matter if her parents' family has no contact with her about the marriage.
Anyway, every time he came, he either asked her for money or for things. He never went back empty-handed. He brought a lot of things to her home this year.
But they only took back a few vegetables. Such grandparents will only bring bad luck to the children and harm them.
She thought clearly and spoke clearly.
But the Wu couple was stunned. "You, you, you, what are you talking about, you little girl, have you grown wings? Now that you are rich, you don't recognize your parents?!"
Wu Ya said slowly, "Don't quarrel. It's not that I don't recognize you. I will give you the same amount of money every year during the New Year and other festivals. I will give you according to the etiquette given by girls in our village. It's not too much. After all, I didn't bring any dowry when I got married. You can't ask me to subsidize my parents' family with my husband's family, right?"
The Wu couple were speechless. Isn't that what they meant? The Zhou family is rich. Any little bit that slips from them would be enough for them to live on for a lifetime. So what's wrong with taking a little? They are the father-in-law of the eldest son of the Zhou family!
Father Wu scolded, "You are such an unfilial person. You are just like your dead mother, without any conscience. I raised you and married you to the Zhou family, but now you don't recognize me anymore!"
"That's right, how could you be such an ungrateful person? We have really raised you for nothing all these years. If you don't acknowledge us, aren't you afraid of the gossips from the neighbors? I must tell everyone what kind of daughter our Wu family has raised."
Wu Ya said, "Okay, go ahead and tell me. I don't care anyway. I am no longer a member of the Wu family after I get married. But don't forget that you still have three sons. They will also have to find wives one after another. If you are not worried that they will not be able to find wives, go ahead and tell them. Let everyone know what kind of family our Wu family is."
The couple was silent. They had three sons, none of whom were married.
The stepmother said, "Humph, we tried to talk to you nicely but you didn't listen. Then we'll ask your grandparents and your brothers to come."
And even threatened.
Wu Ya said proudly, "My grandparents never took care of me since I was a child. You can say whatever you want, but I have to remind you that this is the Zhou family. My sister-in-law is not a pushover. If you irritate her, your three sons will have a hard time. If she gets angry, everyone in the family will be afraid of her."
Li was working in the kitchen while keeping an eye on the outside. She was very pleased to see Wu Ya finally stand up. This child had been like a floating duckweed without touch the ground since she had no other children, but now she finally considered herself a member of the Zhou family.
This is how a person's family should be treated, just like she did back then, just stop having any contact with them. She has been living quite well without her family these years, and it is many times better than when she was at her parents' home.
Zhou Guo came back from outside and as soon as he walked into the yard, he ran into the Wu couple.
The couple greeted her with a smile, "Guoguo is back, are you going to the farm again?"
Zhou Guo nodded, took a stool and sat down. He was thirsty after being busy all morning.
The stepmother tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "Guoguo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are a girl after all, why do you work like a boy on the farm all day and deal with so many men? It won't sound good if this gets out.
A girl should still behave like a girl. Just cook and wash clothes at home. Leave things outside to your brothers. Aren't they better than you? "
Father Wu also nodded. These all belonged to his son-in-law. How could it be right to let a little girl take care of them?
Wu Ya was frightened and quickly looked at Zhou Guo.
Zhou Guo looked up at her. She said nothing, just stared at the woman expressionlessly.
The woman was smiling at first, but then her smile became more and more unnatural. Later, sweat began to pour down her face. She was trembling and really wanted to kneel down to Zhou Guo and turn around and leave.
But the feet seemed to be grown into the ground and could not be pulled out.
The stepmother fell down. She held the teacup in one hand and the lid in the other, scraping the rim of the cup again and again, and then looked at Father Wu who was standing beside her.
Father Wu had been a coward all his life. When he met a ruthless person, he didn't even dare to say a word. He couldn't stand it after a few hits. He was even more useless than a woman. He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Then...then...what...what...what, I...let's go...back..."
run away.
When the woman saw him, she hurriedly ran after him.
Zhou Guo took the tea bowl and drank the boiled water in it in one gulp, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Mom, is the meal ready? I'm hungry."
When he entered the kitchen, he saw that all that was on the counter were wild vegetables and pickled vegetables, without a trace of meat. "…Mom, are we going to have a bitter memory meal today?"
Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What bitter memory meal? Your eldest sister-in-law's parents are here, so you should invite them to have dinner. But when you came back, you scared them away."
Zhou Guo frowned, "Why are they here again?"
Li said, "Isn't it that your sister-in-law is pregnant? They are her family members, so they will definitely come to take a look."
As he spoke, he glanced outside at Wu Ya and said, "I see that your sister-in-law has a child now, and she has become more confident. Now she doesn't give any face to her family members. I guess if they continue to do this, she will have to break off the marriage, just like I did back then."
Zhou Guo didn't comment, "Let me help you light the fire."
But the fire hasn’t been lit for a long time, so it won’t start for a while.
It didn't light up for a long time.
Wu Ya walked in and said with a smile: "Let me do it. You are not cut out for this. Go out and wait for the food."
Zhou Guo said: "Sister-in-law, please go out. You are still pregnant."
