Chapter 94: A Maiden Cannot Fight

  Chapter 8

  It's already the fourth update, weak and pale continues to ask for powder

  Everyone knew that Lao Yezi was going to scold the Zhou family, and as younger generations, they felt embarrassed staying in the house, so one by one, they retreated. Lian Xiuer thought she was the eldest daughter, so she didn't move. Lian Yuer stood beside Lao Yezi and also didn't leave. Lian Man'er didn't want to stay, but followed Lian Shouzhong and Zhang Shi out of the door; however, as soon as she turned around, she crouched by the doorway, planning to eavesdrop.

  Zhang walked two steps, didn't see Lian Menger following, turned her head back, and saw Lian Menger leaning on the door frame with her small body, using her hand to lift up one corner of the curtain, staring inside with wide eyes. Zhang wanted to pull Lian Menger away, thought for a moment, felt that Lian Menger definitely didn't want to leave, so gave up.

  Lian Wan'er peeked into the house through the gap in the door curtain, where Lao Yezi sat on the edge of the kang, puffing on his dry tobacco pipe. Zhou Shi and Lian Xiu'er sat close together, with Zhou Shi's back straight as a rod and her facial expression stiff.

  After remaining silent for a while, even the old man finally spoke up again.

  "You're so old, yet you still make such a big deal out of everything. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Lao Yezi said to Zhou Shi.

  "I'm not afraid of anything, they all came from my gut... Which one is more considerate? If I don't do this, they'll turn the sky upside down." Zhou Shi never compromised in her words.

  "I'm looking at this family and it's all because of you being careless. You just talk about what happened today, it was a big deal, but you blew it out of proportion." Even the old man pointed at Zhou Shi with his tobacco pouch.

  "What's wrong with me? Why didn't you say that Old Three's wife is looking for death, who in the world doesn't get scolded by their mother-in-law when they're a daughter-in-law? Fine, I'll go apologize to her later and kowtow to her." Zhou Shi said viciously. She saw Lian Ye'er accompanying Lian Lao Ye back home, and as soon as Lian Lao Ye entered the door, he asked if she was going to divorce Zhao Shi. Zhou Shi knew that Lian Ye'er must have told on her to Lian Lao Ye, so without waiting for him to ask, she explained the situation, trying to argue her way out of it.

  "You still have the face to say that." Even Lao Yezi got angry, "What's all this about? That leek wasn't something you didn't want, how could you give it to Lao Si's family? Isn't Lao Si your own son? Didn't Lao San's wife help out with chores for Lao Si's family and delay her own work? After they split the household, are they not brothers anymore? Think carefully, as their mother, the more discordant the brothers become, the happier you get?"

  "You don't set me up, when did I let them give birth to discord?" Zhou Shi defended.

  "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, just wait until the children lose heart, then you'll be satisfied." The old man was both angry and helpless.

  "I've raised them in vain, they all married and forgot about their mother." Zhou said, bursting into tears.

  As Lian Piao watched from the outside, he was just thinking that when it came to quarreling, Zhou Shi and Lian Lao Ye were indeed evenly matched, when suddenly Zhou Shi burst into tears, and they weren't fake tears either, but real ones.

  Mrs. Zhou was really heartbroken because she felt that her sons had all been spoiled by their wives, were no longer filial to her, and were not of one mind with her. In her heart, her sons should obey her unconditionally, whatever she said went, otherwise it would be unfilial, just like they had forgotten their mother after marrying their wives.

  Lian Man'er secretly sighed, this mother-in-law was really hopeless. A mother-in-law like her would never get along with any daughter-in-law in any era. As her son, it's better not to marry a wife at all.

  Even Lao Yezi saw Zhou Shi cry, and he didn't speak for a while.

  "Don't change the subject. I'm asking you, how did Lao San's wife treat you? She's a very honest person, why do you keep bullying her? Those words of yours, should you be saying them? Are you really trying to drive her to death? What kind of heart do you have? How can you let others look at our Lian family like this?" Lao Yezi questioned in a string.

  "My words are indeed hasty." said Zhou Shi, "If it weren't for..."

  Zhou looked at Lian Ye'er and said, "If she hadn't made me angry, I wouldn't have said that."

  "You're so biased!" Even the old man was annoyed, and the topic was turned around again by Mrs. Zhou, "I shouldn't have tried to reason with you, an old woman."

  Lao Lao-yeh stood up and pointed at Madame Chou with his tobacco pouch.

  "If anything happens to Ye Er's mother today, you're on your own. ... From now on, if you dare to say anything bad about Ye Er's mother again, get out of the Lian family first." Old Master Lian said and left after lifting the door curtain.

  Zhou was choked for half a day and couldn't speak.

  Lian Ye'er silently glanced at Zhou Shi twice and also turned around and left.

  Zhou Shi was even more furious, and began to wail and beat her chest again. This time, only Lian Xiuer was by her side trying to comfort her, and no one else came over. Zhou Shi didn't fall ill and faint again, but instead wailed for a while before gradually stopping. It's unclear whether it was due to the effects of Lian Man'er's "miraculous remedy", but Zhou Shi didn't have another episode for a very long time afterwards.

  Lian Man'er and Lian Ye'er returned to the west wing house, where they repeated what Lao Lian had said for everyone to hear.

  "Third sister, you can rest assured from now on." Zhang said with a smile to Zhao.

  "Your father said so before, you always worry." Lian Shouli also said.

  "I, how can I not worry about that." Zhao sighed, having no son, she always felt that her position in the Lian family was unstable, and she could be swept out at any time.

  "Third Aunt, you still have Ye'er, isn't it said that a daughter is her mother's little down jacket? You should treat Ye'er well, in the future with her by your side, what do you have to be afraid of?" Lian Man'er said.

  "Yè ér is a good child, she has suffered a lot with me." said Zhao.

  "Third Aunt, why don't you let Ye'er suffer a bit less?" said Lian Man'er.

  Zhao sighed again.

  Lian Man'er glanced at Zhao Shi and Lian Shouli. This couple were honest and down-to-earth, but Lian Man'er was somewhat displeased with them because of their attitude towards Lian Ye'er.

  It's not that the couple abused Lian Ye or treated her poorly, but rather they were both thinking about the son they couldn't have, and as a result, they neglected their daughter in front of them, even unintentionally, making Lian Ye feel guilty about her own gender.

  This is a very foolish approach, and in the end, none of the three will be happy.

  Without a son, one should cherish and treat their daughter even more dearly. Just now, Lian Shili was forced by Zhou Shi to the point of wanting to beat Lian Ye'er.

  Lian Man Er decided to help Lian Ye Er again.

  "Dad," Lian Muer pulled at Lian Shouxin's sleeve, "a daughter can't be beaten."
