Chapter 448: Can’t Help But Point Out the Shortcomings
This was somewhat shocking to Zhao Tianlei.
It was only then that Zhao Yueyue slowly explained, "Last year, our brigade had a poor harvest, so my mother had my elder brother send us some grain. After we finished that, my mother-in-law asked me to go back to my parents’ home for more grain. Of course, I was unwilling; even if it was done in turns, it should have been the turn of one of the other daughters-in-law from their own maternal homes."
"This matter flared up again before the New Year, and I still didn’t agree. In the end, I proposed dividing the household. My mother-in-law was against it; she just kept thinking about the grain from my parent’s home. This time, when I went back to my parents’, she even forbade my husband from coming with me."
Divide the household?
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao realized what was happening.
The in-laws thought that the cousin’s family had grain, so they kept on trying to get the cousin to bring some back from her parents’ home.
"Does your husband support you in dividing the household?"
Seeing that the cousin’s husband hadn’t come along, Yun Xiaoxiao figured he must still be partial to his own mother.
She was afraid the cousin might act impulsively.
"He has been wanting to divide the household for a while now. Your brother-in-law is neither the eldest nor the youngest; he ranks third, unloved by father and mother. If it hadn’t been for his decent treatment of me back then, I wouldn’t have married him, you know?"
