Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 34 - 34 34 Resentment1
34: Chapter 34 Resentnt_1 34: Chapter 34 Resentnt_1 Early the next morning, the stead buns with two kinds of fillings, the porridge made from boiled cornal, a large basin of egg soup, complented by the crisp greenness of pickled cucumber—it was all a pretty decent breakfast, even by modern standards.
In a few days, the whole family had gotten used to it, and this ti, no one was questioning anything.
As soon as the table was set, everyone bowed their heads and ate.
After the al, Zhulan gave the ready-made buns to her third and fourth sons, who were going to school, “Two for each, have them around noon to fill your stomachs.”
The third son, Zhou Changlian, didn’t take them, and instead whispered, “Mom, Dad is going to be angry, put them back quickly before he sees and scolds you.”
Zhulan’s smile grew deeper.
This kid truly was selfish, but not an-spirited, and still possessed so conscience.
The fourth son, Zhou Changzhi, kept watch for her, “Mom, you better take them back, we’re not hungry.”
Zhulan stuffed the buns into her sons’ arms anyway, “This is what your dad instructed, from now on he’ll give you so every day.
Hurry up, don’t be late for school.”
This ti Chang Lian believed her, nobody was foolish enough to prefer hunger.
Feeling a warmth inside, he had to admit that feeling resentful during this period was inevitable.
The family ate three als a day while they had only two, and it was uncomfortable to be so hungry.
As for the high cost of schooling, his two older brothers had also incurred expenses, so it’s not like his situation was special.
Zhulan looked at her third son, still so young and unable to control his expressions.
With resentnt in his heart, and at such a rebellious age, no wonder he had only thought of himself.
After sending off her two sons, Zhulan asked the eldest to borrow a cart.
She then turned around and recounted the third son’s reaction.
Zhou Shuren put down the book he was holding, “I saw it coming the day before yesterday.
Raising children is a science.
We’ll try to treat them all fairly in the future.”
Zhulan thought to herself, thankfully, she had such a partner.
Zhou Shuren’s tact was indeed deeper than hers, and fortunately, they had been honest with each other from the start, building mutual trust.
Otherwise, life would have been impossible.
This ti, with proper preparation and a thickly spread cart, the ride was much less bumpy and far more comfortable, at least it didn’t cause nausea.
It was the sa clinic as before, and the doctor rembered Zhulan’s family well, particularly Zhulan herself.
It was rare to see soone dressed modestly yet willing to spend silver on their health.
The doctor first saw Zhou Shuren, “You’re recovering well.
Take three doses of the prescribed dicine to consolidate.
The rest will heal gradually.”
Zhou Shuren felt his body was pretty worn, “Doctor, could you prescribe so tonic soup to strengthen my body?”
The doctor paused while writing the prescription.
This couple truly valued their lives, “Alright.”
Then ca Zhulan’s turn, the doctor stroking his beard, “Not a bad result.”
Zhulan also received a prescription for seven doses of dicine.
Including Zhou Shuren’s prescription, it was a hefty expense this ti—costing nearly three taels of silver.
Luckily, they had sent the two boys away.
Otherwise, who knows what the sons would have thought?
How much silver the family possessed was unknown to the eldest and the second son.
They all assud it was around ten or so taels, and now, spending more than three taels in one go—just the beginning of future expenses—could even make dutiful sons lose heart.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren prefer hiding the truth than to take the risk.
After leaving the clinic, they went straight to the grain shop.
Zhulan primarily bought millet to cook porridge, which is good for the stomach but not cheap.
Millet was scarce and cost nearly eight coins per pound, almost catching up with the price of pork.
She also purchased a lot of salt and soy sauce, planning to pickle vegetables when she returned.
Lastly, thinking of the children at ho, she bought so sugar blocks.
There was no need for other purchases as the house was not lacking anything else.
Back ho, Zhou Shuren took the eldest son to collect the fish traps, bringing back a basin brimming with fish.
Zhulan’s face bead, “That’s an awful lot.”
Zhou Shuren, “Indeed, tonight let’s fry so small fish and buy so tofu to make fish soup.”
Zhulan understood that he was thinking of the two sons in school.
But there was strategy involved too, letting them feel rembered and valued.
Clever indeed, “Alright, and the rest, we’ll keep?”
