This was somewhat shocking to Zhao Tianlei.
It was only then that Zhao Yueyue slowly explained, "Last year, our brigade had a poor harvest, so my mother had my elder brother send us some grain. After we finished that, my mother-in-law asked me to go back to my parents' home for more grain. Of course, I was unwilling; even if it was done in turns, it should have been the turn of one of the other daughters-in-law from their own maternal homes."
"This matter flared up again before the New Year, and I still didn't agree. In the end, I proposed dividing the household. My mother-in-law was against it; she just kept thinking about the grain from my parent's home. This time, when I went back to my parents', she even forbade my husband from coming with me."
Divide the household?
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao realized what was happening.
The in-laws thought that the cousin's family had grain, so they kept on trying to get the cousin to bring some back from her parents' home.
