My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law

Guessing that Xie Changlin had gone home from school, Wen Wan took the newly made clothes and went to the next yard.

I didn't find Xie Changlin, but I saw little Guoqing sitting on the doorstep and crying.

Fortunately, she still had two candies given to her by Xiaojun in her pocket. Wen Wan squatted down and stuffed the candies into the little girl's hands, and the little girl immediately burst into laughter.

Children are really easy to coax!

Seeing that his face was as dirty as a little monkey, with snot and tears all over his eyes, Wen Wan didn't have a tissue, so she didn't wipe it for him.

"When will your uncle come back?"

"Uncle San went to cut grass to feed the sheep. He won't be back until it's completely dark."

"Then I'll come back later." Wen Wan rubbed the little guy's furry head and wanted to leave but the little guy grabbed his arm.

Xiao Jiaqiu looked up at her, her bright eyes full of pleading, "Second Aunt, I'm scared."

"What's wrong?" Wen Wan grabbed a small stool and sat down next to him.

"My mom had a fight with my dad and grandparents. It was even worse than the last time."

"..." The culprit Wen Wan didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"My mom said she wanted to divorce my dad and take me away, not letting me see my dad and grandparents anymore."

Wen Wan: ...

I knew Zhang Lan was a brainless person, but I didn't expect her to be so brainless.

She asked for a divorce right away. In this day and age, who would believe that she could really get a divorce? Even if she did, she couldn't take Guoqing with her.

You know, in order to prevent women from getting divorced, there is a custom that if a married daughter lives in her parents' home, it will bring bad luck to her parents' home.

Can you still live in your parents’ home after divorce? You are dreaming!

Rural women have no house or land, so they have no way to survive if they get divorced.

It is precisely because they have no way out that women have been enslaved and oppressed; it is precisely because they have no way out that men dare to fight at the slightest disagreement...

This kind of threat would never work. If the situation gets out of hand, Wen Hu might even beat him up.

Wen Wan sighed. This matter was initiated by her, so she should at least give some advice!

Wen Wan pulled Guoqing into Zhang Lan's room. Zhang Lan was lying on the bed in the inner room with her back to the bed, motionless and sulking.

"sister in law!"

"What are you doing here? To see me laugh?"

Wen Wan said with a smile: "Yes! Come and see how funny it is."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan got up from the bed and pointed at her, saying, "Get out! Get out!"

"Don't get excited!" Wen Wan leaned against the door frame and said, "It's useless to make a fuss like this."

"It's none of your business," she said angrily.

"If I didn't feel sorry for Guoqing, I wouldn't bother with you, an idiot," Wen Wan muttered softly.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate. Fortunately, little Guoqing was sensible and moved a stool over for Wen Wan to sit on.

“Thank you, little Guoqing!”

"Just say whatever you want to say!" Zhang Lan couldn't help saying.

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you a question first. What are you asking for by making such a fuss? What do you want to achieve?"

"..." Zhang Lan was stunned. She just felt unbalanced.

She felt that what Wen Wan said that day was right. There must be gains and losses to achieve balance. She was the eldest daughter-in-law in the family. She had to do all the hard work and take care of everything at home and outside. She had never had a share of the good things.

Even Chang Lin Yuting, who doesn't work much, eats better than her.

Wen Wan changed the question, "What did you think of?"

"I just want fairness, but they don't treat me fairly, they are not fair to me."

"..." Wen Wan was speechless again. It was really tiring to talk to an idiot. "Fairness is very subjective. You think it's unfair, but they think it's very fair. How can we talk about this?"

"I..." Zhang Lan was stuck.

"You feel that you have contributed too much to your family, but received too little in return. So, if you contribute the same amount, what kind of return do you want?"

“I want to manage the money.”

"That's impossible," Wen Wan said, "Dad and Mom are both very controlling people. They won't let you run the family."

Zhang Lan was not convinced, "Your sister-in-law can be the head of the family, why can't I be?"

“My brother is the only one in my family, so the situation is different.

Xie Changlin hasn't married yet, and the bride price and other things all cost money. If you are the head of the family, what will the two elders do if you don't pay when the time comes?"

"I won't ignore it," said Zhang Lan.

"But they don't believe you!" Even Wen Wan didn't believe it.

"..."

"Change to one that's almost achievable."

Zhang Lan thought for a moment and said, "I can do the work of the production team, but I can't do the housework alone. Also, we have to eat the same food. I can't eat worse than them."

That’s more like it. Wen Wan said, “If you don’t want to do the housework alone, there are two ways you can go.

First, the whole family should do the housework together, either by taking turns to do it one day at a time, or by dividing the work and having everyone do the same thing.

Second, you and your eldest brother have been separated from them before. You have lived together for so many years, and you have taken on the responsibility of not raising the young on their behalf. It is reasonable for you to separate now."

Zhang Lan shook her head. "Your eldest brother listens to your parents. If they don't allow him to split up the family, he won't do so."

"Then the second one."

Zhang Lan shook her head again: "If you divide it out, there will only be me and mom at home, and mom won't share the burden for me."

Wen Wan almost laughed out loud, "This family belongs to everyone, not just you, why do you have to do all the work alone?

Isn’t Dad a human being? Isn’t Big Brother a human being? And Xie Changlin, he’s not young anymore and can work.”

"How can a man do housework?"

Wen Wan felt that she was wasting her saliva. She struggled for a moment and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Just keep lying down. I'm leaving."

"Hey! Stop it!" Zhang Lan caught up with him, "Think of a solution for my sister-in-law!"

“……”I can’t think of anything.

"In fact, I admire you a lot. As soon as you walked in, you made the two elders afraid to do anything to you. The most important thing is how you got the second elder to protect you.

That day, the second child proposed to divide the family property. Dad broke the rolling pin, but the second child still insisted on dividing the family property."

Wen Wan: ...

No wonder he refused to take off his clothes for her to see, and no wonder he wouldn’t let her touch his back. So that’s why.

Xie Changqing is just a fool and an idiot.

Wen Wan was so angry that she wanted to rush into the main room and beat up Xie Hu. She wanted to ask him if he was her biological son. Why did she use such a heavy hand?

She decided to take care of Zhang Lan's affairs, just to help Xie Changqing vent his anger.

Wen Wan said: "Lin Daiyu once said that in all family matters, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

First of all, you have to figure out what chips you have in your hand and how much they weigh in the other party's mind.

Secondly, you need to calculate how much of what you care about the other person holds in his or her hands, and how much these things mean to you.

What remains is the game of gambling, and the chips you have now are free labor.

The bargaining chips in their hands are nothing more than the moral oppression of the younger generation by the elders and the fact that you cannot survive independently if you leave the Xie family.

But you have a natural advantage, that is National Day.

You gave the Xie family a grandson, so the Xie family has reason to treat you well. This is the consensus of rural people’s values.”

Zhang Lan almost cried after hearing this. "Just tell me what to do."
