Chapter 750 - 749 57
Wang Yongzhu was somewhat puzzled, "If Eldest Brother has been enduring this for over half a year, why did he suddenly flare up today?"
"Silly girl! What status do you hold now?" Old Granny Zhang laughed, pointing at her own foolish daughter.
"You, you have too little experience! Before, your Eldest Brother indulged Lady Lin because he knew that everyone, considering the sake of the family, would tolerate some losses and wouldn’t make a fuss in front of him, so he was happy to turn a blind eye."
"But now, Chongjin is a Scholar, and you are now the Scholar’s Lady! Chongjin is about to take part in the county examination, and if he succeeds, he could become a Graduate! Even if Eldest Brother isn’t the sharpest, he knows he can’t afford to offend such a brother-in-law and sister! Even if he doesn’t make good connections, he can’t offend people over these trifles, can he?"
Wang Yongzhu suddenly realized, "So that’s how it is!"
As Old Granny Zhang spoke, her gaze shifted slightly, "Remember, when the second son, that beast, passed the exam and became a Scholar, how glorious he was! Over those years, how he plundered from our home, always demanding silver or grain when he returned, yet Eldest Brother and his wife never uttered a complaint."
"Now there’s another layer between you, and Eldest Brother is not so foolish as to let Lady Lin continue offending people. Just you watch, tomorrow Lady Lin will be reined in properly, and she won’t cause trouble anymore. Even if she does stir up mischief, it won’t be in front of you all!"
As expected, the very next day, Lady Lin sent her two sons out early in the morning, one to buy tofu, the other to pick elm money.
When it was almost noon, she personally went to invite Lady Jiang to come and help.
Lady Lin could lower her stance when she truly needed help, no longer showing her usual sarcastic demeanor, calling her sister-in-law affectionately.
Lady Jiang reluctantly agreed, unable to refuse the social obligation, and therefore came to help.
