This night Xie Jiaojiao had a dream all night. In fact, it was not entirely a dream. She seemed to have lived all of Xie Jiaojiao's previous life.
Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao was awakened by crying and noise in the yard.
On one side of the yard, Xie Menger was crying, saying something about not marrying that old gangster.
On the other side was Chen Hongju's voice scolding her second wife.
Xie Jiaojiao stayed in the room for a while. Maybe the second roommate couldn't bear the scolding, so she rushed out to scold Chen Hongju.
Xie Jiaojiao thought there was something good to watch, so she hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door to watch the fun.
I saw Chen Hongju scolding Zhou Cuihong: "You black-hearted people are spending the money from selling your niece and you are not afraid of thunder!"
Not to be outdone, Zhou Cuihong put her hands on her waist: "If there was a thunderstorm, I would strike you first. It was you who suggested selling my sister-in-law first, not me!"
"You fart, it's obviously you who brought it up. It's you who said that instead of keeping such a fool at home to eat for nothing, it would be better to give it to someone as a wife."
Zhou Cuihong said sarcastically: "Then I didn't let you sell my sister-in-law. She deserves retribution on her daughter now!"
"Ah! Zhou Cuihong, you bitch, I fought with you. Did we sell my sister-in-law? You also had a share, didn't you get any money?"
The two got into a scuffle, and Zhou Cuihong grabbed Chen Hongju's hair and cursed: "You deserve it if you steal the chicken but lose the rice."
The two of them were equally matched in their attacks. Xie Jiaojiao looked at them and smacked her lips, both of them were quite powerful.
Next to her, Xie Meng'er watched her mother and her second aunt fighting, and kept crying. She didn't know how to go up to help. As she watched, Zhou Cuihong pulled away a finger of Chen Hongju's hair.
Chen Hongju shouted in pain.
Sun Ruhua rushed out of the house at this time. She rushed up and slapped each of them: "What's the fuss about so early in the morning? You sincerely want to make the neighbors laugh, right?"
These two slaps had some personal grudges in them. They were slaps directly on Sun Ruhua's face. Sun Ruhua's palms were even red from the slaps.
The two of them received a slap in the face, glanced at their mother-in-law, and immediately stopped talking, but they still stared at each other fiercely, wishing to make a hole in each other.
Sun Ruhua pointed at Xie Menger: "And you! You're here to cry like a wolf early in the morning, whether your father or mother is dead. When your grandfather left, he didn't see you crying so hard!"
Thinking about the day her daughter was bullied and the grandchildren were in the house and no one came out to save her, she felt angry!
Xie Menger shut up immediately.
Sun Ruhua looked at her: "If you want to blame, blame your lazy mother and your father who can't tell good from bad! If they hadn't sold your sister-in-law first, this matter wouldn't have fallen on you! "
Xie Menger bit her lip and didn't dare to refute.
After Sun Ruhua finished scolding, she yelled at the two daughters-in-law who were still staring at each other: "Don't go cooking yet!"
The two reluctantly went.
Sun Ruhua glanced at Xie Menger again, and Xie Menger immediately followed her to light the fire.
Seeing that Xie Menger went to work in a sensible manner, Sun Ruhua saw Xie Jiaojiao standing under the eaves and hurried over.
"Where else are you feeling uncomfortable today?"
Xie Jiaojiao felt very comfortable everywhere after watching such a good show.
He smiled and looked at Sun Ruhua: "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine everywhere."
Sun Ruhua felt relieved now. The only thing that could make her happy these days at home was that her daughter's madness was cured.
Sun Ruhua pinched Xie Jiaojiao's arm, raised her sleeves and wiped the tears that had not yet fallen out of her eyes: "Remember to offer your father some incense later."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Xie Zhiyi came back carrying a basket of pigweed.
Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly stepped forward and took it for him.
He said angrily: "How old are you to hit so many pigweeds!"
Xie Zhiyi just smiled, with sweat all over his face: "Sister, it's okay, I'm used to it."
Yes, Xie Zhiyi is even younger than Xie Zhili and Xie Zhishu's two sons. When Sun Ruhua was pregnant with him, people in the village laughed at her for being pregnant with a pearl. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhishu also complained a lot. If Xie Zhen had not demanded that she be born, Sun Ruhua would have been aborted long ago.
Xie Zhen was very happy at first when he got a son. Xie Zhiyi was also pampered for several years. However, later on, Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili complained more and more. In bed, Xie Zhiyi's life became difficult. He had to help with some work at home, lest his two older brothers would dislike him for being a freeloader.
"The grass here is yellow, where did you get the pigweed?" Sun Ruhua wiped his sweat.
Xie Zhiyi said with a smile: "I went to the mountains to hunt. The grass in the mountains is still green."
Sun Ruhua had a look of distress on her face. The mountain road was not easy to walk and it was far away...
Xie Jiaojiao felt distressed in her heart. She pulled him and asked: "When did you get up in the morning? How old are you? Are you able to go to the mountains? In autumn and winter, there are bound to be wild beasts in the mountains. Are you tired of living there?" Yes or no?"
But Xie Zhiyi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm going with Aunt Wang's Niu Er."
Niu Er is Aunt Wang's grandson. He is three years older than Xie Zhiyi and the same age as Xie Kun.
Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili didn't get up until breakfast time. There was no work in the fields, so they were idle.
Breakfast is very light, just a corn mush with pickles. When the family is free, they basically don’t eat much rice. Rice is reserved for when they have to work, and then they are very hungry.
After breakfast, Xie Jiaojiao wanted to walk around the village. It happened that Sun Ruhua was going to the river to wash clothes, so Xie Jiaojiao shouted to follow her. Previously, Xie Jiaojiao had followed Sun Ruhua to the river and fell into the river. Sure, Sun Ruhua wouldn't let her follow her no matter what. Xie Jiaojiao said, "Mom, I'm so big now, is it possible that I can still fall into the river?"
Sun Ruhua was told that there was nothing she could do, so she took her with her. Xie Jiaojiao took Xie Zhiyi with her: "Let's go with sister to the river to help mother wash clothes. If you stay at home, I might ask you to do some other work." Woolen cloth."
Xie Zhiyi said that he would also chop up the pig grass he brought back.
Xie Jiaojiao directly inserted the knife on the chopping board and said loudly: "There are two big men in the family. Is it your turn to do this?"
After saying that, he gave Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili a blank look, and then looked at his two eldest nephews.
Hearing what she said, Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili had unhappy expressions on their faces, while Xie Qian and Xie Kun were heartless and pretended not to understand.
Xie Jiaojiao took Xie Zhiyi and went out with Sun Ruhua.
As soon as they left, Xie Zhili said, "It's better to go crazy!"
Xie Zhishu also felt that if this girl was still crazy, who would get his Meng'er to marry that old man Wu Dashan!
That old man is older than him!
At this time, Xie Zhili said to Xie Zhishu, "Brother, do we really want to keep this girl and that brat Xie Zhiyi?"
Xie Zhishu looked at him, how could he not know what he was thinking?
But he didn't say anything. Xie Menger was still crying in the room.
Xie Zhishu stood up directly and went to see his daughter.
Chen Hongju was also in the room, looking at the water in the footbath and looking at her torn off scalp.
When he saw Xie Zhishu coming in, he immediately said sadly: "Master, look at that bitch Zhou Cuihong, she pulled my scalp off."
Xie Zhishu walked up to Xie Menger and said, "Okay, stop crying!"
Xie Meng'er sobbed and said: "Dad, Meng'er don't marry that old gangster!"
Xie Qian also came in.
The family was in Xie Zhishu and Chen Hongju's room.
Xie Zhishu asked: "How much money do we still have in the house?"
Chen Hongju immediately took out all the money she had hidden, but it was less than one tael.
Three taels of silver, they divided half of the two houses and left. They went to the town to buy a lot of things, and the rest is here. There are also things they have saved over the years.
When Xie Meng'er saw it, the tears came out again.
"Why are you crying? It makes me upset even listening to it!" Xie Zhishu shouted.
Xie Menger was a little scared instantly, hugged Chen Hongju's arm, and shouted aggrievedly: "Mom!"
Chen Hongju immediately protected her and said angrily to Xie Zhishu: "What are you doing to Meng'er? She was already wronged."
Xie Zhishu sighed: "If I had known, I should have sold that damn girl Xie Jiaojiao."
Chen Hongju comforted Xie Menger and said: "Master, where are we going to collect the money now? Our Meng'er is so good-looking, isn't it a waste of time to marry that old gangster Wu Dashan? If we wait until later, our Meng'er What kind of good family can't you find?"
When Xie Zhishu looked at Xie Menger, he realized that this daughter was really growing up. Thinking about what Xie Zhishu had just said about the separation of the family, he seemed to have an idea in his mind: "Just now, the second child told me about the separation of the family. Boss, I must be the only one to pick it up. So you go and inform the second daughter-in-law that I can pick it up, but they must give us the money they originally shared, otherwise I will let them raise it with us. Look at the two freeloaders, Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi."
Chen Hongju heard what Xie Zhishu said made sense, but then she thought: "Master, even if they come up with this money, we are still far behind!"
Xie Zhishu waved his hand and said confidently: "The rest must be found by someone!"
When Chen Hongju saw Xie Zhishu's appearance, she immediately knew what he was thinking. She immediately beamed and said, "I knew the head of the family would not let our Meng'er be bullied."
