"What did you say? The third family is working at the warehouse now?" Wang Zhaodi couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
"Keep your voice down, why are you shouting?"
"From now on, be nicer to the third sister-in-law. Don't offend her; we’ll need their place more in the future."
"I can see that too. This third sister-in-law is not someone to mess with." Tang Zhiwen pulled Wang Zhaodi aside.
"I know, she's a real tiger. She even dares to confront the old lady; I wouldn't want to provoke her." Wang Zhaodi recalled how this afternoon Ye Fangfei had ruthlessly silenced the old lady, and it made her feel a sense of satisfaction.
As the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Zhaodi spent the most time with Old Lady Tang and Tang Zhijing. When she first entered the family, Tang Zhijing was only sixteen. As her sister-in-law, Wang Zhaodi had suffered some hardships under her.
It wasn't that she stood up for herself; rather, she had incited Old Lady Tang to create trouble for her.
Thus, she held no good feelings toward Tang Zhijing and even secretly wished for her misfortune.
Tang Zhiwen and Wang Zhaodi were discussing Ye Fangfei's situation. In the east wing, Tang Zhiwu and Zhang Man were also talking about it.
However, Zhang Man was much calmer than Wang Zhaodi. Although she was surprised, upon reflection, it made sense that Ye Fangfei found a job. After all, she graduated from high school, and her family was capable; what was so unusual about finding a job?
She didn't know that Ye Fangfei got the job through her own efforts and that it wasn't arranged by her family.
No wonder she had the confidence to refuse the old lady and Zhijing! If it were her, having a job meant earning money.
Her natal family was also capable; compared to others, they might not seem like much, but in the village, having even one person who could earn was a big deal—let alone an entire family!
"If it were me, I wouldn't put up with such humiliation," Zhang Man said.
Tang Zhiwu nodded in agreement. "The third family's luck is really good; their lives will only get better from here."
"From now on, you should keep your thoughts to yourself. I see that the third family has their own ideas. If they hold a grudge against you, it won't be good."
Although Tang Zhiwu appeared simple and honest on the outside, he had his own share of cunning thoughts.
At this moment, in the main room, Old Lady Tang was discussing this matter with Old Man Tang.
"Old man, do you think I shouldn't have spoken out? I didn't mean anything bad; I just thought my daughter was having a hard time and wanted the third family to lend a hand."
I never expected that the third family would disregard my face like this. It seems they have developed some grievances against me. After all, I am her mother-in-law; this is too disrespectful. Should I set some rules for her?
Old Tang took a puff of his dry tobacco, and as the smoke swirled around him, he spoke, "Wife, I know you care about our daughter, but the truth is, you really mishandled this situation.
How hard is it to buy a pair of liberation shoes? In our entire village, aside from our family, who else has worn such good shoes? Everyone knows these liberation shoes are comfortable and durable. Yet no one in the village has bought them because not only do they cost money, but they also require tickets.
The villagers don’t have tickets to spare, and besides, these shoes are expensive; most people wouldn’t want to spend that much. It’s understandable that Zhijing's sisters-in-law want to buy them, but think about it—if they really wanted to buy shoes, why don’t they just bring the money?
What are they trying to do? They just want to take advantage of Zhijing and make her spend her money. Consider this: a few pairs of liberation shoes would cost several dozen yuan. Does Zhijing have that kind of money?
In the end, who ends up paying for it? It would be the third couple who foots the bill. Do you think they wouldn’t be angry about that?
Old Tang understood that it was his wife’s concern that led her to speak out of turn.
