Zhulan was now irritated every time she looked at Lady Li.
Lady Li couldn't figure out what her mother-in-law meant and asked the head of the family, "What's wrong with mother?"
Zhou Shuren wanted to clutch at his heart. The two of them still had the mindset of common folk, and that very day when they went to buy deer meat, the price had gone up again, one tael of silver per jin. Deer meat from the capital was especially popular. They had only bought a jin to take back, and now it seemed everyone thought it was what their mother had wanted!
Zhou Shuren pulled on Lady Li, "Stop talking, let's get out of here quickly!"
Lady Li still didn't understand until the head of the family whispered to her, then she said, "I'll go explain."
This time Zhou Shuren got wise, "Absolutely not, the more you try to explain, the murkier it becomes. They'll start to think it's mother who branded you with the reputation of being stingy!"
