Chapter 189 It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs
Lin Chen in the backyard chuckled after hearing this...
"Brother Lin Chen, what are you laughing at?" Qin Huairu asked curiously.
"In order to celebrate the birth of the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not accept any gifts and will only entertain guests. He is hurting his enemies a hundred times and hurting himself a thousand times!"
Qin Huairu frowned slightly when she heard that she only entertained guests and did not accept gifts...
"What does he mean? Is he trying to buy people's hearts?"
"That's about it, but don't worry... When our son's full-month banquet is held, someone will pay for it. We can just hold the banquet and not accept any gifts..."
……
After hearing this, Jia Zhang, who was in a bad mood in the kitchen of the Jia family, scolded Yi Zhonghai as a fool and a big bastard...
"My God, even if you have money, you can't do this! The Jia family lost more than ten yuan on the banquet, and this idiot wants to lose everything. Wouldn't it be nice to give this money to me? He even wants to cheat me into giving birth to a child. That's just wishful thinking..."
Jia Zhang cursed and went back to the main room to argue with her daughter-in-law...
"Malan, what do you mean? I said that I would not spend money on making clothes this year, but I did not say that I would not make clothes with the fabrics at home. This fabric was a gift I received during Banggeng's full-moon celebration. Why can't I make winter clothes for him?"
Ma Lan was breastfeeding her son and didn't want to fight with her after all her sister-in-law would come to pick her up soon...it would be safer to take action then. Anyway, as long as she was holding her son, Jia Zhang would have to worry.
"Tsk, you wish... This is a gift from my sister-in-law, so don't have any ideas."
When Jia Zhang thought about the sneak attack by Ma Lan the night before the banquet, she was filled with new hatred and old resentment. She would settle the score with her today...
"Ma, if you have the guts, put my grandson down and let's talk it out. I've been putting up with you for a few days... Today, if you say something big, I'll have to ask the Jia family for the fabric to make a piece of clothing. What's wrong with that?"
Jia Zhang is now thinking that she has already appeased her family members and now it is time to take action.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of her corn flour... After having this idea, she became more motivated. She had more nephews from her mother's side than from the Ma family... She didn't need to be afraid of them at all.
Jia Dongxu, who was standing by, felt relieved when he saw that Ma Lan had no intention of giving up her son.
"Mom, can you please stop making a fuss? I really didn't prepare this for you this time. Can't I make you a new cotton-padded jacket next year?"
Seeing her son standing on Ma Lan's side, Jia Zhang became even more angry...
"Get out of my way. I want that piece of cloth today. You have married a wife and forgotten your mother... You are such a heartless thing. I have raised you in vain. Don't interrupt me today..."
Seeing that Ma Lan was holding the stick and didn't dare to fight, Jia Zhangshi could only sit at the door and cry and call for Old Jia to get up...
"Old Jia! Please come back soon to see this unfilial son! The couple teamed up to bully me... I take care of their food, drink, and toilet every day, but they are reluctant to even make me a piece of clothing."
It would have been fine if she didn't call him, but when she did, Jia Dongxu was furious.
It's only been a few days since you did this good deed... and you still have the nerve to call me dad...
Jia Zhang didn't care about them at all. She just wanted to shout and make a scene. She wanted the whole courtyard to judge for her...
Sha Zhu, who had been paying attention to the Jia family's movements, was the first to run over.
"Hey, Brother Sanbang, what's your mom up to today?"
When Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu running over to watch the fun, he immediately waved his hand and shouted at him: "Go away, go away, go play somewhere cooler."
However, the more Jia Dongxu bombarded Sha Zhu, the more he tried to squeeze in. He was now worried that the mother and daughter would team up to bully his wife Ma.
"Sister-in-law, are the Jia family mother and son bullying you again? I'll call the second uncle to come and give you justice..."
Ma Lan glared at him and said, "Just stand there and watch. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If I really need help, my sister-in-law will call you..."
Sha Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you need anything, just call me..."
Lin Chen, who was eating breakfast in the backyard, became curious after seeing this scene.
Logically, Sha Zhu should not be interested in Ma Lan's appearance, so what's going on? Did he develop a psychological disorder after holding it in for ten months?
The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more interesting he found Sha Zhu. It seemed that he had a deep connection with the Jia family.
As Jia Zhang cried and shouted, many people gathered at the door of the Jia family’s house.
Since this incident did not concern everyone's interests, the onlookers just watched the fun and no one stood up to accuse Jia Zhang.
People are so realistic, they don't care about things that don't concern them. Last time, Jia Zhang wanted to eat the meat used in the banquet... everyone attacked her, but this time she wants to use her own fabric to make new clothes... outsiders can't say anything.
Seeing Jia Zhang crying, the residents who were watching the show were puzzled. Why didn't the usually irritable Ma Lan take action... Now she was holding her son and watching Jia Zhang's performance.
……
After breakfast, Lin Chen came to the middle courtyard...
When Jia Dongxu saw him coming, he immediately went over to ask Lin Chen, the older man, for justice.
"Uncle Lin, please help my mother. The second uncle and the third uncle didn't agree just now..."
Lin Chen took a quick glance and confirmed that Jia Zhang's dangerousness value was still 30 points and had not decreased. He thought to himself, what's the use of my trying to persuade her!
From the beginning, I was wondering why Ma Lan was not normal today... Now the three sisters-in-law from the Ma family have rushed to the courtyard. It seems that Ma Lan is waiting for reinforcements.
"It's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs. Comrade Ma Lan and Sister Jia both have some truth in what they say. I will neither side with Pan nor Yang..."
Lin Chen said a lot of things, which meant that I can’t interfere in your family affairs, so you can handle it yourselves!
Jia Dongxu wanted to ask Lin Chen to teach his mother a lesson again, but the other party had already run to the door of He's house to play chess.
Ma Lan held on to the stick tightly and refused to let go, which made Jia Zhang so anxious that she dared not do anything.
She could only stand in front of Ma Lan and point fingers at her, and the two of them argued until they were red in the face.
Lin Chen looked at the three sisters-in-law of the Ma family who were getting closer and closer, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...
"I don't know if Jia Zhang can fight four people at once... A woman who can catch three butchers is not an ordinary woman. It seems that Jia Zhang will have a hard time today."
Jia Dongxu got between his wife and his mother and began to persuade them, but he still sided with his wife. This made Jia Zhang even more angry...
She is now scolding her son...
Seeing that his mother was not reasonable at all, Jia Dongxu stomped his feet in anger and rushed out of the house... You guys can quarrel as much as you want!
Banggeng is awesome. The noisy scene didn't stop him from sleeping soundly. He didn't cry at all...
Without Jia Dongxu in the middle, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled even more fiercely.
Anyway, no one will give in to anyone else...
