Chapter 195: Take a Good Look

“Has eldest brother-in-law and his wife moved out to live?” Zhou Lan asked curiously.
Normally, since only the bed in Old Madam Jiang’s room had collapsed and not the wall, if the things in the room were tidied up, someone could still have lived there, right?
Why had they moved into Jiang Gui’s house?
Moreover, since Jiang Gui’s wife was willing to let Old Madam Jiang live with them, Zhou Lan’s only thought was that Jiang Gui must have become wealthy and didn’t care about one room.
“No, it’s not that. Father and Mother are afraid something might happen in that room. Mother’s waist is immobile now, and she won’t be able to run away if something happens,” Jiang Hua explained.
Zhou Lan finally understood what Jiang Hua meant. Old Madam Jiang was just afraid of dying.
“Then, are Eldest Brother-in-law and Eldest Sister-in-law squeezed into one room with Father and Mother now?”
It shouldn’t have been so. Jiang Gui’s family was always dominant at home. If Old Madam Jiang had suggested this, they would probably have made Jiang Hua’s family move out and taken over their room. How come it looked like Jiang Hua’s family was still comfortably living in their room?
“Yes, Mother said that she needs to get up at night and needs Eldest Sister-in-law to look after her. Eldest Brother-in-law and Eldest Sister-in-law are sleeping on the floor in the room.”
With that, Zhou Lan understood.
She had secretly sighed in her heart, thinking that Old Madam Jiang really knew how to enjoy herself. She had only injured her waist and was not disabled. Old Master Jiang could have just helped her get up at night, but she specifically required her daughter-in-law’s care.
Although she despised this in her heart, Zhou Lan showed no sign of it on her face. She even put on a sympathetic expression, “I see. Eldest Brother-in-law’s family must be having a hard time. As the weather is getting colder, they must take care of themselves. Don’t end up like my Jiang Chuan, wearing himself out and needing to spend money on a doctor.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We know Eldest Brother and his wife have it tough.”
This comment fell precisely into the ears of Jiang Gui’s wife.
She was tormented every day by Old Madam Jiang, who demanded her help with everything. Now that they lived in the same room, and since their room was not very large, and Old Master Jiang was not very clean, it had become messy and smoky.
Right now, Jiang Gui’s wife was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent.
“Since Second Brother knows that we have it tough, why not let Father and Mother stay with you tonight? It will give me and your Elder Brother a chance to rest.”
Before Jiang Hua could say anything, his wife stood up, dissatisfied, and retorted, “Why should we? We take care of Father and Mother during the day, work in the fields, and come back to cook at night. We’re also exhausted. How come you feel aggrieved just taking care of Father and Mother?”
“How are we aggrieved? 1 asked if you could stay with Father and Mother just for one night, and you refuse? Do you feel like taking care of Father and Mother is a burden?”
Before Zhou Lan could say anything, the two began arguing, and Zhou Lan secretly enjoyed the chaos. She even gave her daughter a knowing look, signaling her to watch closely.
This sister-in-law drama was really something rare.
The two of them argued for a long time but did not reach a conclusion. Old Madam Jiang, who was lying on the bed, raised her eyebrows and said sternly, “Are you rebelling? You’re complaining about taking care of me? If I could stand up, you’d see what’s coming to you!”
Old Madam Jiang’s authority was not in vain. The two daughters-in-law were silenced instantly.
“Old Madam Jiang, you’re sick now, who are you going to show off to?”
A loud voice came from outside.
Everyone turned to look and saw that the village chief’s wife had arrived.
She had seen Ms. Sun sneaking towards Old Jiang’s house when returning home.
Considering the incident at Old Jiang’s house last night had spread throughout the village, she was concerned that they might be planning to trouble Jiang Chuan’s family.
The village chief’s wife rolled her eyes and jogged home. After telling the village chief about this, the two of them discussed it at home and decided to send her to Old Jiang’s house to take a look.
After all, the village chief had eaten a meal at Jiang Chuan’s house last time. It was time to pay him back.
When Ms. Sun saw the village chief’s wife coming, she immediately hid behind the crowd, as if she were invisible, afraid that she would be seen.
Zhou Lan warmly greeted the village chief’s wife: “You’ve gone to the trouble of coming here for our small family matter. Long time no see, how have you been? How’s everything at home?”
The village chief’s wife remembered Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia, knowing that Zhou Lan was capable, and Jiang Xia was intelligent, sensible, and smart..
