Chapter 64 – Rushing Back To Their Parent’s House
Let us take a look at the three people who went back to their mother’s house.
When their family members saw them coming back with a bundle and nothing else, their faces darkened immediately when they heard that they were driven back.
Their family members said that they wanted to go to the Zhou family to question them. The three women knew the reason for being driven back so there was no reason for their family members to fight for their sake.
The three families still want to rely on their in-law relationship to fight the autumn wind if they can. If they make a fuss now and make the relationship tense, they will not be able to come to the door to fight the autumn wind at will in the future.
In terms of this relationship based on interest, after thinking about it- they let it be- after all, their girls would be going back after all, it wasn’t like they were permanently driven back.
The three families couldn’t drive them back so these people lived and ate at home, and the family had to spend money to support them, none of them had a good-looking face, and they were all very aggrieved.
The three thought that they usually bring things back from their in-laws’ homes to support their natal family, and their mother’s family is always very enthusiastic, providing them with delicious food and good hospitality, and they won’t have to do anything since that was what usually happened in the past.
In the past, when they returned to their natal family, the treatment by their natal family made the three of them feel that they had face and status in the family, which made the family look at them differently.
When they went back to the village, the people in the village saw them bringing things back to their natal family with big bags and small bags, and they all said that they were filial, capable, and married well.
This time, they went back to their mother’s house as a burden, and they didn’t know how long they would stay. Their natal families have changed their faces again.
At the Li Family’s Village.

Once she thought about when she married into the Zhou family and gave birth to a son for that family, she also thought about how they treated her, thinking about it made her feel angry.
She even forgot why she was driven back.
When Father Li and Mother Li heard their daughter come back, the villagers also envied that their daughter returned to her mother’s house with many things. Father Li and Mother Li felt that they had too much face.
“It is good that my daughter and son-in-law are filial.”
As soon as she got home, Mother Li saw a few bundles on the table, and she immediately burst into joy, “There are so many things. What have you brought back to your mother’s house this time? People in the village are very envious of my family when they see you. The aunt next door is still sour that you have the ability to bring so many things back from your in-law’s house.”
Mother Li unceremoniously started to open the bag, and said, “Your elder brother came back and said that you might be punished by your in-laws…”
After opening it, Mother Li yelled, “It’s all clothes—”
The sister-in-law next to her was originally waiting to see what good things it was, but when she heard that it was all clothes, her smile faded away.
“I, I was driven back…”
Mother Li yelled, “What!!”
Her sister-in-law suddenly looked disgusted.
The Li family all came back, and they all knew that Zhou Li was asked by the Zhou family to go back. Father Li and Mother Li didn’t say anything. Their eldest son told them of the events when he came back, they knew the reason why the daughter was driven back, so they just said a few words of comfort, “Your in-law’s family is really stingy. You indeed gave birth to a grandson for the Zhou family but they even drove you back to your natal family for such a small matter.”
Zhou Li’s eight-year-old nephew, “Second aunt didn’t bring home delicious food. What does she come to my house for? She should go back to her house.”
Every time Zhou Li came back, he sweetly called her Second Aunt but now that he didn’t see any delicious food, he didn’t call him Second Aunt. He showed his obvious dislike.
The younger brother was drinking with his friends outside and when he heard that his second sister came back to her natal home, his eyes lit up, and he hurried back, “Mom- when my second sister came back, did she bring any taels of silver? Isn’t it because I still need two taels of silver to marry? It hasn’t been that long since the second sister came.”
Mother Li said angrily, “Your second sister was driven back by her in-laws, and she has no silver taels. She has to wait until she returns to her natal family to get the silver taels. You can just get married next year.”
Zhou Li’s younger brother yelled, “What?! Tell the Zhou family to make her come back. Damn, if you dare to drive my second sister back, I’ll find someone to teach the Zhou family a lesson.”
He said that he was going to vent his anger for his second sister, but his eyes turned greedy, and he was only glad that he now had a reason to go to Zhou’s house. He now could ask his brother to go to Zhou’s house to extort a few taels of silver.
“What are you going to do? Your elder brother and your second sister angered the Zhou family by doing something, so she came back to her mother’s house to avoid the limelight. Don’t you dare add fuel to the fire.”
With no money to take, Zhou Li’s younger brother felt that she was no good, so he ran out after staying at home to drink with his friends.
Mother Li said, “Just stay at home and wait until your in-law’s anger subsides before going back.”
Seeing her family’s attitude, Zhou Li didn’t dare to say that her husband’s family wanted her to leave the Zhou family permanently, and didn’t dare to say that she couldn’t go back after being driven back this time.
She thought about how she gave the family so many good things every year, so what if she came back to live, she was able to buy fields for her family and she already used to subsidize her mother’s family.
She did take some silver taels back but did not dare give them to her family. This is the silver taels for her future livelihood.
It wasn’t long before Zhou Li’s arrival that all the work at home fell on her. Her sister-in-law had to take care of her son for no reason and since Zhou Li stayed at home to eat, and drink for free then she did some work. Mother Li didn’t say anything so all the work of the Li family fell on Zhou Li.
Her parents don’t work, her elder brother also does not work, her younger brother idles around and spends all day drinking with his friends, her sister-in-law just makes excuses here and there- she has a guilty conscience and doesn’t dare to resist, so she takes care of her mother’s work.
The weather was cold, and the clothes she brought were thick cotton-padded clothes. Her parents said the clothes were a waste to use on just her so they found some worn-out clothes at home and gave them to her. It was not warm yet, so she brought all the cotton-padded clothes, only for her mother to take away. She soon saw the cotton-padded clothes on her sister-in-law.
“You are already married out. You should go back to your mother-in-law’s house to eat at their house. My mother-in-law said that the cotton-padded clothes are your food and lodging expenses at our house. I have a meeting with someone so I will leave the housework to my little sister.” Her sister-in-law twisted her body and went out to show off.
Zhou Li was washing clothes and doing work outside alone in the cold weather. Her hands were swollen from soaking in the cold water, her face became several years older, her hair was dry and her face was haggard.
She didn’t understand how her natal family could treat her like this. She thought that she was going back to her natal family to eat and drink for free and she should do some of these things, but she also felt that she brought a lot of things to supplement her natal family every year, and felt that they should not pile all the housework on her. Thinking of the fact that she was now separated, she felt guilty that she had to rely on her natal family… It was good that she still had the money she had collected.
But she doesn’t know that this was just the beginning. At this time, her natal family asked her to work because they thought that she could return to the Zhou family’s house, and there would be a subsidy. When she didn’t return to Zhou’s house during the Chinese New Year, the family would know that she was driven back to Zhou’s house permanently and that she could no longer go back.
At that time, she would suffer a lot more. Even when she hid her money, her family members would secretly search out the silver taels and take her silver taels for their own.
The food she ate at her natal home was getting worse day by day. Sometimes she worked slower, and all the food would have already been divided by the others and only the leftovers were given to her. After a day of work, she was tired and hungry, and she could not even eat her fill.
With such a terrible ‘family’ it isn’t surprise she also was unplesant person…
