The son-in-law of the husband’s family
The son-in-law of the husband’s family — 11.3

  Later, the two sisters got married one after another, and Tian took care of the older and younger brothers for a few years. But they were too old, and if they delayed any longer, they would become like the previous two sisters, unable to find a good partner, and could only find a widower or an idle second-rate man.

  Fortunately, Tian was good-looking, and the matchmaker found Zhang Zhuzi from Xiping Village.

  Zhang Zhuzi’s family was poor, his mother died two years ago, and he lived with his father. When Tian heard the conditions, she agreed without a second thought. Without the constraints of her mother-in-law, she would be the master of the house.

  Zhang Zhuzi’s father was honest and dutiful. He worked in the fields, ate, and slept every day. He had no opinions about his daughter-in-law. Even if he had any opinions, he dared not say a word because Tian was very fierce and loud, and Zhang father could not win over her.

  Especially after Tian gave birth to a son for the Zhang family, she was no longer afraid. She helped her eldest brother from time to time, giving him some money or bringing him some meat and sugar.

  The eldest brother’s second son was born before the full term. He was weak and short since childhood. He often needed to take medicine and could not work in the fields. Tian was worried about her eldest brother. When she heard that Li Zhouzhou wanted to recruit a son-in-law, she set her sights on the Li family.

  Li Zhouzhou refused. Tian was naturally unhappy. She could say that her nephew was not good in many ways, but outsiders could not say a word. No matter how bad he was, he was still her eldest brother’s son.

  ”Mom, eat meat, eat meat.” Niu Dan pestered his mother with a bone.

  Tian was so annoyed that she opened her mouth and cursed angrily: “I knew Li Zhouzhou was a bad person. If he is so generous, why doesn’t he give you a bowl? What are you pretending to be? I gave you a piece of meat just to make fun of me. Bah!”

  ”Mother, I want to eat meat. Niu Dan also wants to eat meat.”

  ”Eat, eat, eat, what the hell? Go ask Li Zhouzhou for it.” After Tian said that, she saw her son really went to ask for it. She couldn’t help but get angry and pulled him to twist him. “Are you a pig? All you know is eating. I was just laughed at, and you still know how to eat. You have made me lose face.”

  Niu Dan was pinched and felt pain, so he cried loudly.

  As soon as Zhang Zhuzi entered the house, he heard his youngest son crying and his wife cursing. He also heard Niu Dan asking for meat and said, “We haven’t had meat in a long time. If Niu Dan is craving for meat, let’s make some.”

  ”How can we eat meat every day? Just eat it when he says so.” Tian disagreed.

  ”We don’t have a meal every day. We can cut a little meat to have some meat. During the busy farming season, we are very tired and want to have some oily food.”

  Tian was furious. She put her hands on her waist and shouted, “Zhang Zhuzi, you are living a life that is better than others. You still dare to ask for meat. What can you buy? If you are capable, we can eat meat every day. Can’t I eat it if I don’t want to? Look at Da Niu, he is sixteen years old, and he doesn’t want money to marry him? He doesn’t want to build a house anymore?”

  Every time she talked about eating meat or having a snack, the wife would say the same thing. Zhang Zhuzi was scolded and had to hide and say, “No more meat, no more meat.”

  Not eating meat again? Niu Dan stopped crying when his father told him to eat meat. But now that he heard that he didn’t want to eat meat, he couldn’t help but cry and rolled on the ground, demanding meat.

  Tian was annoyed and threatened Niu Dan with a broom, “Are you going to get up? If not, I will beat you to death.”

  ”If you want to eat meat, Niu Dan wants to eat chicken.” Niu Dan howled.

  Tian started beating the child, and Niu Dan cried loudly and threw a tantrum on the ground. Zhang Zhuzi’s father couldn’t stand the noise, because this was his own grandson, so he stopped him and said, “Stop beating him.” He also coaxed Niu Dan to stop eating meat.

  Niudan buried his head pitifully in his grandfather’s arms, tears streaming down his face, and kept asking for meat.

  Zhang Zhuzi and his father both felt sorry for the child, but when they saw Tian, ​​no one dared to ask for meat. They thought the matter was over, anyway, it was Tian who brought the excitement in the village in the afternoon, and they gathered together to chat and gossip.

  ”She first ordered Niu Dan to ask Zhou Zhou for meat. Zhou Zhou gave it to him, but Niu Dan probably wanted to eat more and made a fuss, so he got beaten.”

  ”Oh, poor thing, Niu Dan’s crying can be heard in my house, but she doesn’t give any food to him. I don’t know who to give the money to.”

  After saying this, several people looked at each other and winked at each other. Everyone knew about Tian from the Zhang family. She would bring meat candies to her parents’ home during every festival. Who knows how much money from the Zhang family she had given to her brothers from her parents’ home.

  ”Fortunately Zhou Zhou recruited Gu Shulang.”

  ”That’s right. Tian is very good at using her family savings to support her mother’s family.”

  ”It’s almost the end of the year and Daniu is already seventeen years old, and he still hasn’t found a wife. The Zhang family keeps talking about finding a wife for their eldest son, but I think they’re more anxious than her lame brother’s son.”
