Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Watching the Play Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Watching the Play “Eldest daughter-in-law, don’t talk nonsense. Mother just went to check, and your third brother’s wife only went to the market today to buy a few household items!”
When Mrs. An went to Su Yunjin and her husband’s room, she didn’t see many new purchases, just two new cotton quilts!
Mrs. Zhang’s face displayed utter disbelief, “Mother, how is that possible? How could the third brother’s wife have only bought a few household items? She brought back a cartload of things, and everybody in the village saw it clearly today, how could there be any falsehood in this matter?”
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth!
She felt that Mother-in-law Mrs. An was deliberately favoring that despicable little wench Su Yunjin and her family!
“Eldest daughter-in-law, mother has already personally checked, how could there be any falsehood in this matter? There wasn’t anything newly bought in the third couple’s room. If they did buy a cartload of items, wouldn’t mother have seen it when she went to check?”
Mrs. Zhang snorted, “Mother, you didn’t see it, that’s because the third brother’s wife hid it in advance! She’s very shrewd! She bought so many things and must have hidden them beforehand, right?”
“Enough! Eldest daughter-in-law, let the matter rest! Your father should take his medicine now. I will go back to my room and prepare it for him!”
Mrs. An was about to leave!
Mrs. Zhang blocked her, “Mother, what do you mean let it rest? Are you not going to deal with the third brother’s wife and her husband’s secretive hoarding of silver? By behaving this way, aren’t you being too biased towards the third couple?”
“Eldest daughter-in-law, how have I shown favoritism? You claim the third couple is secretly hoarding money, but do you have any evidence to prove it? Without evidence, how can mother intervene?”
Mrs. An’s expression grew stern and rather displeased.
Mrs. Zhang felt that Su Yunjin and her husband’s secret hoarding of silver was just her suspicion! How could she have any evidence? When Mother-in-law Mrs. An asked her in such a manner, Mrs. Zhang suddenly became speechless.
Mrs. An continued, “Eldest daughter-in-law, since you have no evidence, mother cannot simply take your word for it to conclude this matter, can she?”
Mrs. Zhang had no rebuttal.
Mrs. An did not bother with Mrs. Zhang anymore and walked past her.
Mrs. Zhang stood in place, stamping her feet in anger!
Annoyingly, without any evidence, she couldn’t do anything to Su Yunjin and her husband?
Teeth itching with frustration, Mrs. Zhang raised her head and her gaze met Su Yunjin’s, who was standing in the doorway. She saw Su Yunjin watching her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
It was as if she were deliberately watching her make a fool of herself.
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth in anger again!
She refused to believe she couldn’t deal with her!
With a dark face, without looking at Su Yunjin again, Mrs. Zhang stormed off angrily.
The young wife had been standing outside the door the whole time. Gu Ya didn’t know what the young wife was looking at. Somewhat puzzled, he couldn’t help but ask, “Yunjin, what are you watching?”
She had been watching for a while now, the young wife still looking on!
What in the courtyard could be so interesting to see?
After Mrs. Zhang left, Su Yunjin turned back to look at Gu Ya and said with a smile, “I’ve been watching a play!” Su Yunjin had overheard most of what Mrs. Zhang had said to Mother-in-law Mrs. An just now.
That Mrs. Zhang still hoped to get money from her and Gu Ya, her shamelessness knew no bounds!
“A play? What play?” Her words only made Gu Ya more confused.
Su Yunjin didn’t explain to Gu Ya but simply walked over and said, “It’s nothing. Oh, by the way, I bought you two new sets of clothes today, do you like them?”
With that, Su Yunjin went over and took out the two robes she had bought for Gu Ya.
