Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!-Chapter 20 - The Demon King_1

Doubts arose in her mind, and although she felt an unpleasant taste in her heart, she wanted to go have a look.

The Wang family lived not far from the Zhou family, yet not close either, just down the street.

The Wang family had a considerable number of members—eight children in one generation.

Two had died in the turmoil of war, leaving six behind: one daughter and five sons.

The eldest grandson of the Wang family had already married, and the great-grandsons were out and about.

Wang Zhang’s wife was sixteen years older than her!

Zhulan recalled carefully and shivered.

Wang Zhang’s wife had the real capacity to bear children; she had given birth to eight and even in her fifties, she cursed without drawing a breath.

She still had the energy to beat her granddaughters.

Thinking about it, the original body had the continuous burden of bearing children, but the root cause was the births during times of chaos.

Several times, her confinement period was not properly observed, causing trouble.

The original body had looked down upon Wang Zhang’s wife, who then found faults with her.

A significant part of the original body’s bad reputation could be attributed to Wang Zhang’s wife’s efforts, and the reasons were numerous.

Wang Zhang’s wife had turned from a daughter-in-law into a mother-in-law and suffered a lot since she married into the Wang family, especially after giving birth to two daughters in a row.

Life became even tougher, compounded by an inconsiderate and weak husband.

The happiness of the original body was just too dazzling in comparison.

Moreover, Wang Zhang’s wife had a daughter the same age as the original body.

That year, she had proactively approached the Zhou family, hoping to marry Zhou Shuren.

The original body’s mother-in-law did not give her face and directly peeled off Wang Zhang’s wife’s facade, leaving her disgraced, which only deepened her resentment.

When the original body got married, Wang Zhang’s wife targeted her, but the mother-in-law was formidable.

Wang Zhang’s wife was suppressed by her own mother-in-law, so she didn’t dare to make trouble.

Later, when the original body’s mother-in-law passed away, so did Wang Zhang’s mother-in-law, and Wang Zhang’s wife finally turned the tables.

With no one above her anymore, she wreaked havoc in the village.

She became a notorious shrew in all the nearby villages, not just harsh on the villagers, but on her own children as well.

Out of six children, five were sons, and even sons weren’t valuable anymore.

Ultimately, it was the sons who didn’t cause trouble, yet the anger of being forced to bear sons was taken out on the daughters-in-law and granddaughters, especially since Wang family’s fourth son had given birth to three daughters.

He had injured his body while birthing the third daughter and hadn’t conceived in seven years.

As Zhulan walked, she remembered—unless she was mistaken, Wang family’s fourth son’s wife was pregnant again, already three months along.

The original text indicated that she miscarried at six months.

Yes, that was it, she miscarried, and that miscarriage was somewhat mysterious.

The couple from the fourth branch of the Wang family were very protective, to the point where even Wang Zhang’s wife stopped bothering them.

Zhulan let out a light, amused chuckle.

Xue Han, puzzled, looked up.

“Mom, what are you laughing at?”

Zhulan didn’t explain but took note, “It’s nothing.”

Xue Han responded with an “Oh.” Suddenly, she felt that her mother had become mysterious.

Yes, mysterious.

Her mother used to be easy to read—happy when happy, unhappy when not.

Anyway, she felt that her mother had become much more formidable.

When they reached the gate of the Wang family’s house, Zhulan sized it up.

Even with the memories, it wasn’t the same as seeing with her own eyes.

The Wang family had many sons, and plenty of grandsons.

Originally without much property, they constructed buildings made of clay.

One big family hadn’t split yet, so the house hadn’t stopped being extended, with both the main house and side houses seeing plenty of additions.

The entire yard didn’t need a wall anymore; it looked cramped and close-knit.

Chickens flew all over the yard.

Used to the cleanliness of the Zhou family, Zhulan felt nauseated.

Yes, nauseated.

Not only was there chicken droppings everywhere, but she also saw several spots of human waste, likely from the children who hadn’t been cleaned up.

Zhulan almost lost the courage to lift her foot, and she looked down at her daughter.

Xue Han, a clean child, must really consider the third daughter a friend to endure coming to the Wang family.

The mischievous little one headed for the main house, and Wang Zhang’s wife soon came out.

“Well, what kind of wind has blown today?”
