Yun Jiao went out and tried to force a smile at Liu Er, "Uncle Liu Er, why—why did you bring my mother here?"
Liu Er was stunned for a mont, seemingly unsure of how to answer.
Yun Jiao called Ah Tie to open the side gate and let Liu Er drive the carriage into the courtyard.
Mrs. Chen watched Yun Jiao enter through the side gate, and no one paid attention to her, so she stood in the shop like a stick.
Mrs. Chen was originally going to visit the neighbor, but with her in-law mother arriving, she naturally couldn’t leave and had to show her so respect.
With an old coat of Sanlang’s draped over her arm, she pulled Mrs. Chen over warmly, saying, "Mother-in-law has co, please co in quickly."
Tears started streaming down Mrs. Chen’s face again.
Mrs. Chen wondered to herself if she had said sothing wrong, why was she crying?
In the courtyard, Liu Er and his son got off the carriage, and Yun Jiao asked, "Uncle Liu Er hasn’t had lunch yet, right?"
Liu Er nodded embarrassedly, "I wanted to get here quickly, so I didn’t stop on the road for lunch."
Guihua, hearing this, hurried to the kitchen and took out so flour, preparing to fry a few egg pancakes, which doesn’t require dough kneading and is quite fast.
Yun Jiao glanced through the kitchen window and saw that Sister-in-law Guihua had already started, so she invited Liu Er to sit in the main hall.
She turned her head and saw Mrs. Chen also coming in with her mother.
Once Mrs. Chen and Uncle Liu Er were seated, San Ya sensibly poured tea for them.
Mrs. Chen brought out so snacks as well, "The pancakes need a little more ti, have so snacks to fill your stomach first."
She stuffed a couple of pieces of cake into Liu Er’s son’s hands.
Mrs. Chen still sat in the chair, crying.
Only then did Yun Jiao glance at Mrs. Chen, "Isn’t my mother living at her own family’s house? Why did Uncle Liu Er bring her here?"
Liu Er saw that Yun Jiao seed not to be very fond of her mother’s arrival, sowhat confused about the situation, he blinked and simply started from the beginning.
With Mrs. Chen crying beside him adding details, Yun Jiao finally understood the whole story.
It turned out that since Mrs. Chen returned to her own family, she hadn’t lived comfortably for a couple of days before being resented by her two sisters-in-law.
She was disliked for eating without contributing work.
Gradually, they gave her all the laundry to wash.
Last ti when Yun Jiao visited her, she was still doing the laundry.
Mrs. Chen had been pampered since she was a girl, never doing anything at ho, only washing her own clothes.
After marrying Yun Jiao’s father, things got even better at ho, and they always hired maids to do the chores, so she didn’t even wash her own clothes.
When her two sisters-in-law asked her to do chores, she did them while crying.
The clothes she washed turned out almost as if they hadn’t been cleaned.
The sisters-in-law had no choice but to stop asking her to wash clothes and asked her to cook instead.
The first day, Mrs. Chen couldn’t even light a fire and ended up with her face covered in soot.
The family didn’t see any food on the table for a long ti, and when they walked into the kitchen, the fire wasn’t even started yet. In the end, the two sisters-in-law had to cook.
The next day, the elder sister-in-law learned her lesson and stayed in the kitchen watching Mrs. Chen work, teaching her step by step.
The fire was finally lit, and under the elder sister-in-law’s instructions, the vegetables were cut.
When it ca to stir-frying, the elder sister-in-law gave one less reminder, and Mrs. Chen poured half a bottle of oil into the pan.
The elder sister-in-law was anxious, repeatedly saying that there was too much oil and urging Mrs. Chen to quickly scoop it out.
Mrs. Chen then went to lift the pan.
Who knew she had no strength, and the iron pan was big and heavy. As soon as she picked it up, her hand went weak, and the iron pan fell.
Half the pan of oil spilled out, hitting the stove fire, and flas shot up to the ceiling.
Mrs. Chen scread and ran out.
