Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!-Chapter 34 - Resentment_1

This time 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 meals 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 resentment 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 time, 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 same clinic as before, and the doctor remembered Zhulan’s family well, particularly Zhulan herself.

It was rare to see someone 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 medicine to consolidate.

The rest will heal gradually.”

Zhou Shuren felt his body was pretty worn, “Doctor, could you prescribe me some tonic soup to strengthen my body?”

The doctor paused while writing the prescription.

This couple truly valued their lives, “Alright.”

Then came Zhulan’s turn, the doctor stroking his beard, “Not a bad result.”

Zhulan also received a prescription for seven doses of medicine.

Including Zhou Shuren’s prescription, it was a hefty expense this time—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 assumed 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 home, she bought some sugar blocks.

There was no need for other purchases as the house was not lacking anything else.

Back home, Zhou Shuren took the eldest son to collect the fish traps, bringing back a basin brimming with fish.

Zhulan’s face beamed, “That’s an awful lot.”

Zhou Shuren, “Indeed, tonight let’s fry some small fish and buy some 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 remembered and valued.

Clever indeed, “Alright, and the rest, we’ll keep?”
