Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!

70: Chapter 70 Women Are Not Easy_1 70: Chapter 70 Women Are Not Easy_1 Lady Li was so excited that she danced with joy, “Old Four Wang bought all the spicy pickled cabbage and spent twenty taels of silver, Mother, Old Four Wang really has money, just like that twenty taels.

I don’t think Madam Wang will just let it go, Mother, how much money does Old Four Wang actually have in his hands?

Where did he get all that money from?”

Zhulan did not explain about the Silver Coin.

Lady Li was unaware of the matter of selling the baby, “Alright, hurry up and cook!”

Thinking her mother also did not know, Lady Li happily went to prepare lunch.

Standing and watching the commotion was quite draining, and she was already hungry.

Zhulan was in a good mood.

Hurting others does not benefit oneself.

Wang Ru shot herself in the foot.

Not only did she fail to retaliate against the Wang family, but she also exposed her wealth.

Spending twenty taels of silver so readily would not only make the Wang family think Old Four Wang struck it rich, but the entire village would think so too.

The household of Old Four Wang would not have peace.

After lunch, Lady Li left again to follow the ongoing developments.

Zhulan patted her little granddaughter Yu Lu who was lying on the k’ang.

The child was basically raised by Lady Zhao.

She played with the child’s little hands, “Your mother is really carefree.”

The little girl’s black eyes were wide open.

She could not yet speak without someone teaching her and just babbled on.

Zhulan’s eyes crinkled, “I am your grandma, call me Grandma.”

Lady Zhao, having spent more time with her mother-in-law, knew that her Mother was fond of her granddaughter.

She couldn’t help but touch her own belly.

She had been worried that having another girl would displease her mother-in-law, but now she felt much more at ease.

Still, she hoped for a son.

Only with a son in the family would the daughter not be bullied by others.

Zhulan noticed Lady Zhao’s action and thought about how the pregnant woman must be filled with worries.

She couldn’t help but offer reassurance, “Even if this child is a granddaughter, I would love her.

Don’t think too much.

I may have a bad temper, but I’m not heartless.

Ease your mind.”

Lady Zhao was always overthinking.

It’s not good for a person to think too much.

It makes life too tiring.

She truly doesn’t have the blessings of Lady Li.

Lady Zhao smiled radiantly.

Her Mother-in-law was a woman of her word.

She was completely reassured now, but still, “Mother, I hope it’s a son.

Only when we have a son at home will it not affect Yushuang’s reputation.

In homes without sons, daughters’ reputations suffer, and few are willing to marry them.”

Zhulan was somewhat dazzled by Lady Zhao’s smile, and she only then took notice.

Lady Zhao was truly beautiful.

In the original host’s memories, Lady Zhao was always bowing her head and wiping away tears, her eyes sorrowful and displeasing; no one likes a mournful face.

The original host never paid attention to Lady Zhao’s looks.

Now that she was here, Lady Zhao could still cry and lacked the courage to lift her head.

This was the first time she had seen Lady Zhao smile.

No wonder the eldest granddaughter looked like a fairy child.

She had often muttered to herself about a genetic mutation, but only now did she realize Lady Zhao’s genes.

The original host’s looks were not bad, and Zhou Shuren was slightly better than the average person.

Both parents were not outstanding in appearance.

The two oldest children were not either, only slightly better than the common folk and took after the Yang family in stature.

The third and fourth sons, on the other hand, looked more like their uncle and Zhulan, which made them quite attractive in the village.

Their statures followed the Zhou family’s lean frame.

The two daughters, however, seemed to pick and choose the best features from Zhulan and her husband’s genes, ending up on the beautiful side and barely considered beauties.

But Zhulan could not bring herself to tell lies against her conscience.

Even Xue Han, the prettiest member of her family, couldn’t compare to Lady Zhao, a true beauty.

Zhou Shuren had a sharp eye indeed.

Thinking too much made Zhulan’s eyes grow deep.

Seeing her mother-in-law staring at her, Lady Zhao dared not cry anymore and hung her head even lower, “Mother, did I say something wrong?”

Zhulan felt a bit of pity for Lady Zhao, holding her hand, “You’re right, it’s not easy being a woman.”

These terrible ancient times really made it hard for women—a constant fear of tarnishing their reputation without marriage, setting them up for a poor match.

After marriage, they had to abide by the mother-in-law’s rules and remember the maxim ‘married off, follow your husband.’ Living their whole lives cautiously, never truly living for themselves.

Lady Zhao’s heart pounded, feeling as though her mother-in-law had discovered something.

She dared not stay any longer and quickly picked up Yu Lu, “Mother, I’m going to put the child to sleep.”

Zhulan’s voice was soft.

“Go ahead.”

Lady Zhao hesitated, her heart racing as she quickly left with the child!
