After hearing what her daughters-in-law said, Mother Lu smiled and said, "It’s my fortune to have such a good daughter-in-law like both of you."
After a brief conversation, Mother Lu left home carrying a bamboo basket and putting the money in her clothes. When she was on her way to her eldest brother’s house, she saw her nephew’s wife talking to a woman. She looked at their expressions and realized they were probably arguing.
When she walked up to them, Mother Lu heard her nephew’s wife say, "Sister-in-law, I promise you, I will definitely pay back the food I borrowed before. Can you not go to my husband?"
"If I don’t go to your husband, will I have to wait for several years before you want to return the borrowed food to me? Do you think only your family members need to eat?" the villager asked angrily.
"Sister-in-law, I have already said on the day I borrow your food that I will return the food to you after the distribution day, and you agreed. Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
After hearing her words, the villager snorted and said, "Who doesn’t know that your family is frantically borrowing money from everywhere? With this situation, I doubt you have food to repay me. I just want to get my food back, why do I become the unreasonable person in your mouth?" freeωebnovēl.c૦m
After hearing this, Mother Lu finally came over and called her, "Niece-in-law."
Hearing her voice, Zhao Ya looked back and found her husband’s paternal aunt looking at her with a frown.
"Paternal aunt, why are you here?" she asked with a trace of guilt and embarrassment in her eyes.
Mother Lu glanced at her and the villager before she asked, "Niece-in-law, what are you doing here instead of taking care of your son?"
Before Zhao Ya could answer, the villager interrupted her, "Aunt Lu, do you know that your niece-in-law borrows food from everywhere?"
She glanced at the bamboo basket in Mother Lu’s hand and added, "I heard that you have a good son-in-law and eat meat every few days. Since you live a good life, shouldn’t you help your brother’s family? While you are eating meat and fish, they are borrowing money and food just to fill the gap in their stomachs."
After hearing what she said, Mother Lu smiled coldly and said, "I do have a good son-in-law, but my family has never relied on him. As for the food borrowed from my brother’s family, I will return it to you. So, you can stop embarrassing my niece-in-law. Also, whether my family eats meat or not is none of your business. So, keep your jealousy to yourself."
