Chapter 524 Mother-in-law Finds Trouble (2)
He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ji Xiaomu, then he seemed to remember something and raised his head to glare at Ji Xiaomu. "You... since you let my wife show up in public, you must... definitely not be a good person."
"Brother, I don't like what you said. You say that we have no control over your own wife, but what does the owner of this teahouse have to do with you? She gave your wife a job and lets your family earn 800 coins a day. Can you find such an owner elsewhere? Don't be ungrateful!" Hearing the man scolding Ji Xiaou, a traveling merchant nearby was unhappy. He was also there yesterday and happened to witness what happened yesterday. He did not think that Ji Xiaou did anything wrong. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Ji Xiaou.
On weekdays, his wife always complained that he was often not at home because of his business, and she was busy at home, and they were always quarreling. Yesterday, he heard what Ji Xiaomu said, and bought a gift and brought it home for his wife. His wife was so moved that she hugged him and cried. Last night, his wife was as passionate as a newlywed. Today, when he went out, his wife still thoughtfully prepared food for him.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a thoughtful and lovely daughter-in-law. He also felt guilty that he had turned a blind eye to his daughter-in-law's efforts for so long, causing her to suffer a lot of grievances.
He didn't expect that a gift could move his wife so much and that the coldness between them was no longer there. In his heart, he had been thinking about thanking the owner of the teahouse, but he didn't expect that the man from yesterday would turn against him today.
"Who... are you? Why are you so nosy?" The man was accused by other guests and felt guilty, so he didn't dare to blame Ji Xiaomu anymore.
"We are all guests who witnessed what happened yesterday. Do you have a problem? Didn't you agree to it yesterday? Why did you turn against me after such a short time? Or can't you stay at home anymore? Do you feel it's too tiring? Your wife has worked for ten years without saying anything, but you can't stand it even for one day?" Another guest also stood up and sneered.
"Sister Wang, what's going on?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Wang Cuihua and asked.
"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you!" Wang Cuihua said embarrassedly, pointing at the man, "He couldn't stand doing a little work at home, he felt too tired, and wanted me to go home to take care of the old and the young, and asked me to quit my job. When I refused, he scolded me for being unfaithful and said he would divorce me!"
"You are not a faithful wife, and you make my son suffer at home, but you come here to have fun. You are a woman who should show off in public, and your husband's family are still alive. Do they need you to come out to earn money? You are so disgraceful, so get out of here! Your family is waiting for you to cook!" An old woman came out from behind the man, pointed at Wang Cuihua and scolded her, her eyes full of disgust.
"Boss, this is my mother-in-law." Wang Cuihua introduced to Ji Xiaou.
It seemed that she was accustomed to the disdain and abuse towards the old woman. She ignored them dully. Due to the code of conduct for women, she could not scold her mother-in-law and could only pretend not to hear them.
"Eight hundred coins a day is more than two taels of silver a month. You have to go to so many places to sell so much money. My daily wage now is twice as much as yours. I come out to work and earn money. How can I be ashamed?" Wang Cuihua glared at the man angrily. She couldn't scold her mother-in-law, but she could always scold the man!
"Even if he only earns 400 coins, it's cleaner than the money you earn! Who knows where your money comes from! This shady teahouse gives you 800 coins just for pouring tea? Who would believe it!" The mother-in-law said angrily with her eyes wide open.
