章節 161: Chapter 161: Grain Prices Rise

The Old Zhou family's minor disturbance went unnoticed by Wufu and the others; even with the scorching weather baking like fire, they kept their doors closed and carried on with their little lives as always.

However, Madam Zhou took a detour to her parents' house while out buying tofu in the village, yet she never saw any of her relatives, nor did Lady Liang come to visit, which puzzled her.

What she didn't know was that it wasn't because Lady Liang didn't want to visit; Old Lady Zhou had found Lady Liang and expressed her displeasure with her socializing with Madam Zhou and the others, advising her to avoid them if possible.

As a new daughter-in-law, Lady Liang dared not defy her mother-in-law, and although she felt unhappy and disdainful in her heart, she could only temporarily obey and stay away, for in-laws can be difficult to deal with.

After Madam Zhou roamed for two days, she probably guessed the situation and felt disheartened but said nothing.
