Madam Yang lowered her head and saw Fang Yun's expression. She didn't want her to speak.
She knew that her son was thinking for her, so she could not help but shut her mouth.
The eldest daughter-in-law said that she was not feeling well and did not come. The second daughter-in-law was obviously a lazy woman. The third daughter-in-law was as quiet as a cicada in winter. However, even the most honest Madam Yang did not say anything. The anger in Luo's heart burned even more fiercely.
"Are you all mute? Or do you all think that an old woman like me should starve to death?”Luo roared.
Fang Yun only held Yang Shi's hand tightly, not allowing her to speak.
Luo Shi saw that no one answered. Although he was furious, he held back his anger and did not continue to curse.
She glanced at her daughters-in-law and pointed at Madam Yang.
"Fourth Sister's wife, who do you think is cooking today?”
What rice, picking soft persimmons to pinch, or picking drums to beat?
" Mother, today…" Madam Yang spoke.
"Mother, we cooked yesterday.”Fang Yun interrupted Madam Yang and said," It shouldn't be our turn to cook today.”
Madam Yang couldn't ruin her son's reputation, so she agreed," Yes.”
Luo Shi was so angry that she almost stomped her feet. However, seeing that Madam Yang did not take the bait, she could only look at Madam Xu.
"It was Fourth Sister's wife who cooked yesterday. Is it your turn today? Are you lazy again? Or do you want me and your father to starve to death?”Luo shouted.
Mrs. Xu's face was calm. She had long been prepared.
"Mother, you already said that it was Fourth Sister's wife who cooked yesterday. Why is it my turn today? My man is the second in the family.”
Mrs. Xu said calmly," When Sister-in-law is in town, let's not talk about it. She's enjoying her life. We can't control her even if we want to. However, she was finally at home. Why shouldn't she cook for her parents? Could it be that she wasn't their daughter-in-law?”
" You..." Luo gritted his teeth and pointed at Madam Xu.
Among the three daughters-in-law at home, Madam Xu was the most lazy one. Moreover, she was thick-skinned and was a piece of rotten meat.
Normally, Luo wouldn't take her words to heart.
However, what Madam Xu said today made sense.
Madam Qian lived in town all year round and was rarely at home, let alone serve her.
Luo Shi rarely asked her to cook when she occasionally came back to stay.
Taking advantage of this return, it was indeed time to let Madam Qian fulfill her duty as a daughter-in-law and serve her.
If he could tell her that he was not feeling well now, what about in the future?
. Luo's heart sank, and then he sneered.
Even if her eldest son became a government official in the future and Madam Qian became the wife of a government official, so what? She would still be her daughter-in-law.
She was the mother-in-law, the mother of the Fang family's eldest son.
However, it was time to set the rules now, lest she spoil Mrs. Qian and lose her in the future.
Luo Shi made up his mind.
"Second daughter-in-law, go and call your sister-in-law over.”Luo instructed Madam Xu.
Madam Xu agreed and was about to call Madam Qian.
Fang Jiao Er came down from the brick bed.
"Mother, I'll go call him." Fang Jiao Er said.
Luo Shi was angry. She had to quickly tell this news to Madam Qian and Fang Yan 'Er so that they could be prepared to avoid more scolding later.
Luo Shi glanced at Fang Jiao Er and nodded.
Fang Jiao Er didn't hesitate and immediately ran towards the west room.
Not long after, Fang Jiao 'er returned. Fang Yan' er and Fang Mei 'er, the two sisters, supported Mrs. Qian as they followed.
"Mother, sister-in-law is really sick. I heard that you called her and she struggled to get up several times. It was only with the help of the few of us that she came over.”Fang Jiao Er smiled at Luo Shi.
Luo Shi ignored her daughter. She often played the trick of pretending to be sick. She only glanced at Madam Qian and immediately knew what was going on.
Hmph, she was really playing a big knife in front of Guan Yu. Did she really think that she had lived for a dog at this age? He wanted to trick her with such a small trick? Dream on.
"Mother, daughter-in-law pays her respects to you." Madam Qian squatted down and bowed to Luo Shi.
Luo Shi saw Madam Qian's solemn salute and felt slightly more comfortable.
People from the countryside, especially their own family, usually did not pay attention to such etiquette.
The Qian family's gift was a rule that only those big families had, and it just happened to satisfy the Luo family's vanity.
Madam Qian was a very observant person. When she saw that Luo's expression was slightly better, she smiled and said," I originally wanted to come over to pay my respects to Mother early in the morning, but I don't know why my headache is so bad." He was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he didn't dare to tell her and wanted to come over after he felt better.”
"Yes, my mother seemed to have a fever last night. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't get up, my mother would have come to pay her respects.”
Fang Yan 'er said," Mother is lying on the brick bed and keeps saying that she wants to come over. She said that this is the rule of being filial to her mother-in-law. If Mei 'er and I hadn't held her down, she would have dragged her body here long ago.”
Luo Shi's face finally looked a lot better. It was really because Madam Qian and Fang Yan 'Er's words were beautiful, and every word hit the bottom of her heart.
When she turned to look at Madam Xu, Madam Yang, and Madam Zhao, she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law was still sensible and considerate.
However, Luo wasn't someone who would change his mind easily. Since he had decided to set rules, he had to set them.
They didn't live together in the past, so there was nothing much to say.
When her eldest son became an official, she would definitely go with him. In the future, she would live under the same roof as Mrs. Qian and spend time with her every day.
Therefore, she had to take advantage of this moment to properly discipline the Qian family. She had to make the Qian family be like the Yang and Zhao families, obedient to her and not dare to say a single word.
Thinking of this, Luo Shi's face immediately darkened, ignoring Fang Jiao Er's pleading gaze.
"Aiyo, you're the wife of a scholar and your body is very delicate. I think you should go back and lie down. This old woman will go over to serve you later.”Luo sneered.
" Mother, I….." Madam Qian heard Luo's strange tone and knew that it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it.
She quickly bent her back a little more and made a more respectful appearance.
"But, who still remembers that I'm the mother of a scholar!”
Luo Shi looked at the faces of his four daughters-in-law one by one, and finally stopped at Madam Qian's face.
"You've been living in town all year round and are used to living freely. You were so energetic yesterday when you got home. I asked Xiu-Er to call you, but you're not comfortable. Do you think that this old fart didn't serve you well?”
Madam Qian's face turned pale in an instant. Luo Shi's words were harsh.
She thought that she was extremely smart. After entering the Fang family, she quickly recognized the old lady Luo's character. She was very good at ingratiating herself.
At the same time, she also knew that Luo Shi was difficult to get along with, so she tried every means to persuade Fang De to live in town. It was not easy for her to avoid the hard task of serving her mother-in-law.
All these years, she had done everything she could. She didn't have to serve Luo Shi, and she was Luo Shi's favorite daughter-in-law.
Now, there was hope for her man to choose an official. She was about to become the wife of an official.
At this critical juncture, Luo Shi wanted to use such a trivial matter to manipulate her.
Her mind was indeed very active. After thinking for a moment, she immediately understood the general idea.
