Extra update, asking for pink.
*******
No need for Lady Zhang and Lian Manman to join the conversation; Lady He sniffed, slapped her thigh, and began to complain.
"... That harbinger of doom, no one can grab money like her. She doesn’t even care about Erlang; she just grabs for her Old Zhao family. Her Old Zhao family has made us suffer."
Lian Manman and Lady Zhang exchanged glances, and both understood that Lady He was talking about Zhao Xiue. Saying Zhao Xiue could grab money—why could Zhao Xiue grab money? Didn’t they also grab money? Hearing Lady He talks about grabbing, even if they haven’t gone to prison this year, sooner or later, it would be discovered.
"The Old Zhao family is terrible; they ca up with the idea about the wheat seeds. When sothing went wrong, they claid it was our idea and had nothing to do with them. If it hadn’t been for us having soone, we would’ve been ruined while they went to prison."
"What cri were the father and son of the Old Zhao family sentenced to?" Lian Manman asked Lady He.
"I don’t really know; when I got out, I heard from his aunt that it was exile," Lady He responded.
The Old Zhao family and Lian Shouyi’s crew have faced off several tis, each losing and winning, with Lian Shouyi’s crew having a slight advantage. This ti, the Old Zhao family was completely defeated.
Evil people need to be dealt with by evil people; the strong have their match?!
Lian Manman was too lazy to think about these matters anymore.
"Erlang’s wife didn’t co back; what’s really going on?" Lady Zhang, still concerned, asked.
"That harbinger of doom, his aunt finally managed to get us out, and she kept muttering about Erlang, wanting us to get those two from the Old Zhao family out too. She even said if we didn’t get her father and brother out, she’d finish us, go all out... We ignored her. With his aunt, and those people from the Old Zheng family there, the Old Zhao family couldn’t stir up anything," Lady He said, puffing out her chest, clearly imitating Lian Shouyi’s words.
"Where is Sister-in-law Xu now?" Lian Manman asked.
"Who knows. That day, in a rush, she left the city, and we haven’t seen her since. She just left the child behind," Lady He replied.
Zhao Wencai and his son were found guilty, Zhao Xiue didn’t return, and no one knows where she went. Zhao Xiue even said those things, and with her personality, it indeed spells trouble.
No wonder, when Old Master Lian returned, he ca to find us so urgently. No wonder, these days, Old Master Lian has been strictly managing those in the Upper Room.
Seeing Lian Manman frown, Lady He brazenly waved her hand.
"Don’t fear her; what can she do? She’s still the daughter-in-law of the Old Lian family; her daughter is still here. No matter how much trouble she causes, she won’t succeed in anything." Lady He said, baring her teeth, "She’s caused so much suffering, tossing a little child at . That child seems born to cry spirits’ predecessors; she cries all day and night and drives nuts."
Lian Manman and Lady Zhang were speechless; Er Niuniu wasn’t even one year old yet, and surely Lady Zhou wouldn’t look after her, nor would Lady Gu or Lady Chiang. Only Lady He would care for her. Now Lady He was sitting there not wanting to leave, so who was taking care of Er Niuniu?
Erlang, Si Lang, Liulang, Lian Yaya—who among them could care for such a young child?
"I’m already a mother-in-law, with two daughters-in-law. I haven’t enjoyed a single day as a mother-in-law, just suffered. You haven’t seen Sanlang’s wife, have you? Let tell you, Sanlang’s wife is even more troubleso than Erlang’s." Lady He likely hadn’t had anyone to chat with for ages, and with Lady Zhang being mild-mannered, she went on chatting endlessly.
They didn’t ntion doing work at all.
"Sanlang moved into soone else’s house as a son-in-law, so why do you want to act all superior to the Old Wang family?" Lady Zhang, although mild, could not stand Lady He’s arrogance and said.
"Just because he moved in doesn’t an he’s not mine? I’m still Wang Qi’s rightful mother-in-law." Lady He said confidently, "Usually, they don’t pay any attention; I’ve tolerated that. Now that we’re in trouble, they haven’t even co to see us. Look, staying with Sanlang ans not even letting him co to see us."
"When Sanlang moved in, didn’t you demand lots of things from them and an extra hundred taels of Silver? How would you react if it were you? I heard every ti you go to the Old Wang family’s shop, they serve you food." Lady Zhang said, "Sanlang’s wife is already pregnant; how could you ask her to visit jail?"
