Chapter 499: Evil Mother-in-law 45
Ma Xiangmei was stunned.
I knew my mother had changed, but I didn't expect that her personality had completely changed.
It's completely the opposite.
The son whom I doted on before now wants to force him to death.
The son whom I wanted to force to death before, now spoils him.
Ma Xiangmei wanted to laugh. She was very happy for her eldest brother and his wife, but she did not sympathize with the third brother at all. When the third brother was favored, he took advantage of his mother's favoritism and bullied his other brothers and sisters.
Because Ma Xiangmei was close in age to him, she was bullied by him since she was a child. Even when she was studying, she had to follow him like a maid, helping him carry his schoolbag, do his homework, and take turns on duty.
Ma Xiangmei dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school because her mother refused to let her continue her studies because Ma Laosan said she was a money-loser and that studying was a waste of money.
Ma Xiangmei had no sympathy for Ma Laosan at all, and even wished her mother would give him a good beating.
Because they have children, Ma Xiangmei and her husband have to go back in the afternoon.
Yuanchun had just woken up from a nap and knew that the couple was leaving. She did not try to keep them and just let Ma Xiangmei take away the three dried rabbits hanging in her room.
There was also a large truckload of bamboo furniture that was taken away by Wang Jianguo.
On the way back, Wang Jianguo looked back at the dried rabbit and the bamboo furniture, and said happily, "Meizi, your mother-in-law looks at you differently now. She has come to her senses and knows that you and your elder brother are the only two children who are truly filial to her. Look, she even gave us the dried rabbit and the whole set of new furniture."
Ma Xiangmei smiled and nodded, "In the past, let alone dried rabbit and new furniture, it would have been good if we could have a sweet potato meal."
When Ma Xiangmei got married, the Wang family came to welcome the bride. The original owner didn't even let her drink a sip of water before pushing Ma Xiangmei out of the house and driving the wedding party out of the Ma family.
Wang Jianguo gave 200 yuan as a betrothal gift, but the original owner kept all of it. Ma Xiangmei married into the Wang family with nothing. Later, the couple followed the army to the ministry, and Ma Xiangdong gave all the 120 yuan of private savings he had saved to his sister, but Ma Xiangmei felt sorry for her elder brother and was reluctant to take his money.
The brother and sister pushed each other to go, and finally came to a compromise. Ma Xiangmei took the 60 yuan and left 60 yuan for Ma Xiangdong.
This is why, when Ma Xiangmei came back for the New Year, Ma Xiangdong insisted on weaving a complete set of bamboo furniture for her as compensation for her dowry.
"Mei Zi, let's buy some nutritional supplements and send them back for mom from now on." Wang Jianguo felt that since he had received so many good things from his mother-in-law, he, as a son-in-law, should also be more filial to his mother-in-law in the future.
Ma Xiangmei smiled and nodded, "I'll listen to you."
……
The next day, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Conghui rode his bicycle to Qinghe Village, wanting to exchange money for some meat to eat.
Yuanchun would certainly not miss the opportunity to make money.
She went to the mountains and brought back a big wild boar. She kept half for herself and sold the other half to Han Conghui.
All are calculated according to market prices.
Han Conghui brought half a pig back to the Han family. When Han's eldest sister-in-law and Han Laosan's wife saw so much meat, they both wanted to cut a piece to send to her family.
However, this half pig was bought by Han Conghui with his own money. When the two sisters-in-law shamelessly asked for meat, Ma Xiangling happened to hear it, and Ma Xiangling stretched out her hand to ask them for money.
"This meat was bought with my husband and I's money. My parents didn't even send me a pound of meat, so it doesn't make sense for me to give you a discount. You want meat, and I'm not refusing to give it to you, but I can't just say nothing. You all have jobs, and you don't need this little money, so you wouldn't be so shameless as to want to eat for free, right?"
