Chapter 209 A good wife is a prosperous family for three generations
After saying this, Mrs. Han quickly walked home with her son in her arms.
Along the way, her emotions surged.
You must never let your husband know about this.
He was already disgusted by the fact that he had been in prison. If he knew that Wan'er had become a lowly person...
She didn't dare think about how her husband would treat her then.
But the Jiang family told everyone in the Chen family that this matter would definitely not be hidden, and it might soon spread throughout the village or even the entire township. What should we do then?
The more Han Juniang thought about it, the more she resented the Jiang family. She hugged her son and returned home worriedly.
Mrs. Chen Feng was coming out of the house. When she saw her second daughter-in-law, she said with a cold face: "Where did you take Xu Bao again? Didn't I tell you not to break in? The house is so big, can't it even accommodate you?"
Mrs. Han didn't dare to talk back to her mother-in-law, so she whispered: "I'm going to sit at the patriarch's house, not anywhere else."
When Chen Feng heard that she was going to the patriarch's house, her face brightened a little, but she still didn't give her a good look. She said, "What time is it? Go and cook quickly. Erlang will have to eat by then. Don't starve him."
After saying that, he glanced at the child in Han's arms with disgust, turned around, went to the house, took two eggs, handed them to the kitchen, and put them on the pot table. "First make Erlang some egg tea and add more sugar. Erlang likes sweet drinks."
"I know." Mrs. Han put her son in a wicker basket and prepared to boil water.
Seeing that there was no firewood behind the stove, he went to the haystack outside the yard to get some and carried it back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the yard, his son started crying and howling desperately.
Han immediately ran back to check.
She saw her precious son lying on the edge of the wicker basket crying with tears and runny nose. He stretched out his chubby hands towards her to hug her.
Mrs. Han was so distressed that she quickly picked her up and patted her.
Chen Feng came out of the room and cursed angrily: "Which child never cries? Look at you, you are like a spoiler! It's ten months old and you still hold him in your arms all day long. Why? You still don't let go?" Do you want to hold him for the rest of your life? Wan'er and Zhao'er haven't seen you hold him once since they were young, but now they have become loving mothers! Why don't you put him down quickly and make tea!"
Mrs. Han turned around, facing away from her mother-in-law, and continued to hold her son and pat her, full of resentment.
The mother-in-law knew clearly that she couldn't take her hands off the child, but she just asked her to make some egg tea. The old woman didn't do anything by herself, and didn't even look at the child, but ordered her to do this and that.
Not only that, but he also sent the second girl Chen Zhao to be some sort of apprentice to Lao Shizi. Now it was great, he didn’t even have a helper, and he couldn’t even sleep well at night because Xu Bao made a fuss every night.
When Mrs. Chen Feng saw that her second daughter-in-law was starting to offend again, she couldn't help but get even more angry: "What did I say turned a deaf ear? He didn't even cry anymore. Why are you still holding her? You are deliberately against me, right?"
Mrs. Han turned around, suppressed her resentment, and said to Mrs. Chen Feng: "Mom, it's not that I won't let go. Xu Bao'er can't cry. The doctor said that boys will get hernias if they cry for a long time."
Chen Fengshi was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "I have raised three boys. If any of them have to be held in my arms all day long, why don't they grow up so well? It's all your money! You can't even cry a single cry!"
Mrs. Han lowered her eyelids and said softly: "Mom, why don't you let Er Ni come back? With her helping to take care of Xu Bao, I can be free to do housework."
When Chen Feng heard this, she was furious. She pointed at Han and cursed: "What do I think is wrong with you? You are just holding back your bad intentions. I asked her to recruit Zhao'er. She is just a girl. She should learn a little bit." With her abilities, she can find a decent family in the future, and she can stay with you all day without damaging her reputation."
"Mother!" Han suddenly became furious and roared: "Why have I brought down her reputation?"
Chen Feng took a step back after being yelled at by her daughter-in-law. She looked at her blankly for a moment, then raised her hand and slapped her:
"You're against me! You're getting more and more aggressive! How dare you yell at me! I shouldn't have sued my grandfather and asked my grandma to save you in the first place! You black-hearted white-eyed wolf!"
Mrs. Han never thought that her mother-in-law would hit her. This was something that had never happened before. Panic suddenly arose in her heart and all the anger in her body disappeared.
She was very scared, fearing that her mother-in-law would abandon her in a rage, because one of the seven children was disobedience to their elders.
Xu Bao, who was about ten months old, was so frightened by Chen Feng's actions that he burst into tears. This made Han feel so distressed that she simply ran into the room with her son in her arms while avoiding her mother-in-law's anger.
Mrs. Chen Feng was so angry with her daughter-in-law that her liver hurt. She turned back to the main room and gritted her teeth and said, "When Erlang finishes taking the county examination, we might as well divorce her."
Facing such a bad thing all day long could shorten her life by ten years.
Chen Laoshuan sat cross-legged on the kang, flipping through his account books without even raising his eyelids. "There is no one left in Han's natal family, so it is impossible to divorce her."
Because in addition to the seven departures, there are three not-to-gos, one of which is: marrying with nothing to return to, and not leaving.
This means that if the woman's parents are still alive at the time of the marriage, but the woman's parents have passed away when the wife is divorced, and the wife has no natal family to return to and no one to rely on, she cannot divorce.
Otherwise, the man will not only have to fight, but he will also have to spend a year and a half in jail.
And the Han family falls into this category.
Even without this, she can't be divorced for the time being, because Han's sister, Xiao Han, actually became a powerful adviser to a nobleman in Fucheng.
If the Chen family dares to abandon the Han family, there is no guarantee that the young Han family will be allowed to take revenge on Chen Changping.
With just one word from that staff member, his son's future could be ruined.
Therefore, Chen Laoshuan cannot take this risk.
"Then what do you think we should do? Just let her run wild at home?" Chen Feng sat down on the kang and looked at her husband angrily.
Chen Laoshuan: "When Erlang passes the exam, we will move to the county town and leave Han alone in the countryside. Anyway, we still have dozens of acres of farmland at home, so let her live here slowly."
In this way, everyone is out of sight and out of mind.
The last time the Han family sold more than a hundred acres of farmland, Chen Laoshuan was so angry that he wanted to find a rope to strangle this bitch to death.
What kind of sin did the old Chen family commit to marry a daughter-in-law like Han?
He worked hard to accumulate some family fortune, but in the end he was defeated at the hands of this stupid woman.
As the old saying goes, a good wife will bring prosperity to your family for three generations, but marrying a bad woman will ruin your life.
His second son was almost destroyed by this woman.
Chen Laoshuan's teeth itch with hatred when he thinks of those things before.
If he hadn't worried that the child in her belly was Erlang's, he would have wanted to kill her on the way to Fucheng.
Chen Feng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "We shouldn't have rescued the Han family in the first place, but now it's good. She didn't feel embarrassed when she saw Tian'er running around. Xu Bao grew up in the hands of the Han family, What future prospects will there be for us? It would be better not to have this grandson in our Chen family."
Chen Laoshuan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head, "No matter what, Xu Bao is Erlang's only son. Alas, let's talk about it later."
If Erlang is admitted as a scholar next year, let him take a concubine first and give birth to a son and a half daughters, and then talk about other things.
After all, the Han family cannot always occupy the title of Erlang's legitimate wife, otherwise the descendants of his old Chen family will be ruined by her.
Well, let Han die of illness in his old house then.
In the countryside, it is very common for a mother-in-law to die at home. Those who have difficulty giving birth to children, those who cannot bear the injustice and commit suicide, and those who are beaten to death by their husbands and just say that they died of a sudden illness, most of them will just ignore it.
When encountering a difficult mother-in-law, she just gives her some money and gets away with it.
As the saying goes, if the people do not complain to the officials, they will not be held accountable. Even if some people suspect that the daughter-in-law was beaten to death by her husband's family, who is willing to take charge of the matter.
