Chapter 22 Mrs. Zheng comes to visit

Zhou Ran couldn't help but frown after hearing this. She didn't mind teaching others, but she didn't have time now.

Seeing Zhou Ran frowning, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "I have rejected it for you for the time being, but depending on what those people mean, they may not give up just like that."

After hearing this, Zhou Ran smiled and said to Mrs. Zhang, "Thank you, mother, for causing trouble to you."

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and said, "It's not you who caused me the trouble. It's your second sister-in-law who is to blame for this. Don't worry, I will take good care of her when your second sister-in-law comes back today."

Zhou Ran advised: "The second sister-in-law probably did it unintentionally."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "You don't have to speak for her anymore. If I don't deal with her, she won't even know her last name."

Zhou Ran was obedient and stopped trying to persuade her. Zhang said a few words of concern for Ye Ximing, then stopped disturbing Zhou Ran and left.

After Mrs. Zhang left, Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran and said, "If you don't want to be taught, just don't teach. Next time they come to your door, I'll help you refuse."

"Why refuse?" Zhou Ran said: "We are all from the same village. Wouldn't it be bad if we were too ruthless?"

Ye Ximing said calmly: "Just say that you are busy taking care of me and can't spare time to teach others, how about that?"

Zhou Ran thought carefully for a while and felt that it was not impossible.

Mrs. Zhang kept her word. As soon as Mrs. Li came back in the afternoon, she was scolded by Mrs. Zhang. Then she left all the pig intestines to be washed by herself, and Ye Erlang was not allowed to help.

Mrs. Li squatted by the well and washed the fat intestines for more than two hours. She was so smelly that she didn't even take two bites of dinner.

Finally, Ms. Zhang warned her, "Next time if you can't control your mouth and talk nonsense and cause trouble for others, you will have to wash all the pig intestines in the house by yourself."

Mrs. Li said aggrievedly: "Mom, I don't dare anymore."

Not to mention, at night, Ye Erlang was lying on the bed and preaching to Mr. Li again.

In the blink of an eye, it was August 15th, and the Zhou family actually came to the Ye family. The person who came was none other than the original grandmother Zheng.

When Mrs. Zheng came to the door, Mrs. Zhang couldn't drive the person out, so she had to welcome the person into the house and called Zhou Ran to see him.

As soon as Zhou Ran arrived, Mrs. Zheng stared at Zhou Ran and looked at her from head to toe. She saw that although the clothes Zhou Ran was wearing were not bad, they were not particularly good. She only wore a small silver earring. The pendant, and the hair was only held up by a wooden hairpin. It didn't look like he had made a lot of money as rumored. Wu, who didn't believe much in the rumors, felt that she shouldn't take this trip.

However, after thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng didn't want to go in vain.

Her thoughts changed and she said to Mrs. Zhang: "My dear, my granddaughter and I haven't seen each other for a while. I want to talk to her alone."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran nodded, and then Mrs. Zhang said: "Then my grandma should have a good talk with A-ran, and I will go and get busy first."

As soon as Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Zheng immediately changed her expression and asked Zhou Ran directly: "I heard that you can sell a piece of embroidery for dozens of taels of silver now?" Zhou Ran blinked and said innocently: "Grandma, where are you from? Did you hear this news?”

"You don't care where I heard this news, just tell me if this is the case." Mrs. Zheng said forcefully.

Zhou Ran said: "I do have some embroidery skills, but that's what my mother told me to do. Do you think my mother's skills are worth dozens of taels of silver?"

After hearing Zhou Ran's words, Mrs. Zheng concluded that the rumors were false. She no longer asked Zhou Ran about the matter, but taught Zhou Ran a lesson again, "I think you are really a white-eyed wolf. You have been married for so long and you don't know." Go back to your parents’ house, even on a holiday like today, I, an old woman, have to come and see you.”

Seeing that Zhou Ran didn't say anything, Mrs. Zheng continued: "What? I, an old woman, come to see you from so far away, don't you know how to be filial to me? I don't want much. You give me a tael of silver and I will buy two packs myself." Eat the mooncakes and you’re done.”

Zhou Ran laughed angrily, Mrs. Zheng really dared to speak.

"Grandma, are dad and cousin treating you badly? They didn't even buy you a pack of mooncakes during the big holiday. If that's the case, I have to go to the college to find my cousin and have a good talk with him. "

Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "Shut up, who told you, a bitch like you, to slander Qi'er? Qi'er is very kind to me."

Zhou Ran's eyes flashed with a stern look, but her face was very calm, "Grandma, since it's not my cousin who is unfilial, then it's my father who is unfilial. Otherwise, grandma, why would you want to show filial piety to me, your married granddaughter? That's good. Yes, I will go to the Wang family tomorrow and ask dad why he doesn’t even know how to show filial piety to his own mother."

His original father, Zhou Heng, worked as an accountant for the wealthy Wang family in the county. If Zhou Ran really came to him and asked him in front of his family why he didn't know how to honor his mother, he might not be able to keep his job.

Mrs. Zheng was so angry at Zhou Ran that she almost lost her breath. She pointed at Zhou Ran with trembling fingers and said, "Okay, you are very kind. You bitch, you have grown up, and you actually learned to threaten me?"

"Is this a threat?" Zhou Ran chuckled and said, "I haven't told grandma yet. I seemed to have met my cousin when I was in the county. The young man who was with my cousin at that time should be my cousin. His classmate, right? Whose family does he belong to?"

Zhou Ran patted her head and looked annoyed, "Oh, I don't seem to know his last name, but fortunately I know that his father is a minor official. I will ask my husband later and he should know. Grandma, do you think I should go? Find him and tell him the story of my marriage with my husband."

Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that Zhou Ran even knew about this. After listening to Zhou Ran's words, her expression changed repeatedly. Finally, her face turned black and she stared at Zhou Ran closely, gritting her teeth and said, "What do you want?"

Zhou Ran shook her head, "I didn't think about it. I have been living peacefully in the Ye family. It was grandma who came to me today that made me think of these things."

"You mean if I don't come to you in the future, you won't talk nonsense?" Mrs. Zheng asked.

"I met my cousin on the third day after I married into the Ye family."

Mrs. Zheng heard the meaning of Zhou Ran's words. She had known about this for such a long time, and if she had wanted to say it, she would have said it long ago.

She gritted her teeth, temporarily suppressing her anger towards Zhou Ran, and said: "I will never come to you again, and you'd better do what you said and stop talking nonsense. If you dare to ruin your cousin's good fortune, Marriage, see if I don’t skin you when the time comes.”

Zhou Ran walked towards the door and said directly to Mrs. Zheng: "Grandma, go slowly, I won't see you off."

Seeing Mrs. Zheng's figure disappear outside the door of Ye's house, Zhou Ran shook her head and thought: She didn't say anything, she didn't guarantee anything, everything was made up by Mrs. Zheng's own imagination.
