Mrs. Liu ate three large bowls of rice. Not only did she clean up all the vegetables on Mrs. Sun's tray, but during this period Mrs. Sun also went back to the backyard kitchen to put together a few remaining stir-fry bases and gave them to her. Mrs. Liu brought it over when it was hot.
"Third sister-in-law, you are so kind to me. My mother never dared to be so kind to me when she was alive!"
I don’t know whether she was offended or really moved. When Liu said this, tears filled her eyes.
This made Mrs. Sun very embarrassed, but she felt very relieved, "It's just a few mouthfuls of food. Fourth brother and sister, what you said is too exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration, it's the truth."
"Why aren't you exaggerating? Your mother is the one who gave birth to you and raised you. I am just a sister-in-law. How can I dare to compete with her?"
"Third sister-in-law, you don't understand." Mrs. Liu wiped the corners of her mouth and then said emotionally, "My mother treats me sincerely. Who said that I am her flesh and blood?"
"But no matter how sincerely my mother treats me, she has never dared to let me eat like this."
"Regardless of whether it was before or after I got married, I never had enough to eat at my parents' house."
"During the holidays, when my family buys meat or fish, I always stick to my father and two brothers first, because they are men and have to work, and they have to work hard."
"The sisters-in-law came in behind. Although I am not married yet, my mother wants to give me something to eat, so she has to carry two sisters-in-law on her back."
"When I get married and my two sisters-in-law are in charge of the house, even my mother will have to look at the faces of my two sisters-in-law to live her life, let alone eating at my parents' house."
"So when I go back to my parents' home, I never feel satisfied or full when I eat!"
Not to mention Sun, even Yang Ruoqing felt a little sorry for her when Mrs. Liu said this.
As for Mrs. Sun, her eyes were red and her eyes were as loving as a puddle of water.
Yang Ruoqing didn't like this kind of atmosphere in the house, so she teased Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, now that the third girl has married Liu Xueyun and has become an official's wife, you should be able to have enough to eat when you return to Liujiacun, right?"
When asked about this, Mr. Liu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.
The smile was three parts proud, three parts disdainful, and the remaining four parts a little helpless.
"My two brothers and sister-in-law are the most snobbish and look down on others."
"My family used to have a lot of children. I don't know how many times I would look down upon when I went back to Liujia Village during the holidays."
"My family has always been looked down upon by my parents' side. Even if I make a little money from doing business in the town, it's not enough to maintain the reputation with them."
"It wasn't until the third girl proposed marriage to Xueyun that they changed their attitude."
"Hmph, especially the way the three girls behaved on the eve of their wedding. They wanted to come to my house every now and then, but I blocked them all."
"On the day of Third Girl's wedding, their two extended families all came, and they all came to Xueyun. They called each other brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and they were more affectionate than anyone else. They just wanted to cling to each other. Huh, I told Third Girl and her husband in advance. Anyone who has said hello to Xueyun will not pay attention to them!"
Mrs. Liu had eaten and drank enough. She had returned all the energy she had spent fighting with Xianjun's mother. She sat here and scolded her brother and sister-in-law, getting more and more excited the more she scolded her.
Until there was a sudden commotion outside, Ms. Liu immediately raised her ears and jumped down from her stool.
"Is anyone quarreling again?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Sun suddenly thought of something and her expression changed, "Could it be that Xian Junniang became more and more angry and came to trouble your fourth aunt again?"
Mrs. Liu bared her teeth and said, "I just ate and my whole body is full of energy. I'm not afraid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of firecrackers in the distance.
The sound of the firecrackers didn't last long, it crackled seven or eight times and then stopped. Such a short burst sent a message instantly.
That is:
"Who are the old parents in the village?" Ms. Sun asked in surprise.
The "old father and mother" here does not mean that the other party is old. The "old" here refers to aging to a certain age and then dying due to disease or other reasons.
"During this period, several old men and women in the village have become ill, and I'm not sure who might have passed away," Ms. Liu said. "Let's not make any guesses. I'll see if it's who it is." Got it!"
Ms. Liu jumped up and ran out.
In the main room, Mrs. Sun saw Yang Ruoqing standing up as well. She was afraid that she would also go out to watch, so she quickly came over to stop her: "Qing'er, you are twin, it is best not to go to those places."
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment by Sun's nervous look, and then she smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm not going. I just wanted to stretch my muscles after sitting for a long time, and go to the toilet by the way."
When Yang Ruoqing came back from the toilet, she found Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun, Wang Cuilian, Bao Suyun, and Cao Bamei standing at the door of the yard.
Judging from their expressions, something must have really happened in the village.
And this matter is not just as simple as the death of an old man and an old lady.
The few of them were so absorbed in chatting that they all looked towards the entrance of the village. The expressions on their faces were all the same, that of shock, surprise, confusion, and some sympathy and regret.
So much so that when Yang Ruoqing came to them, they were unable to notice it in time.
"Auntie, whose family are you talking about?"
It was Yang Ruoqing who took the initiative to ask, and they discovered that Yang Ruoqing had also come.
Mrs. Sun quickly pulled Yang Ruoqing to her side and said in a low voice: "Jiang Er, Jiang Er is dead!"
Jiang Er?
This time, Yang Ruoqing was shocked.
"When did it happen? How did he die?" she asked.
Just two days ago, Old Jiangtou came to see Old Yangtou, and the two old men also mentioned Jiang Er.
At that time, Lao Jiangtou said that Jiang Er was still the same as before, hemiplegic, but otherwise there was nothing wrong with him. During this period, he was making millet porridge every day, and he could eat three meals a day, and his complexion seemed to be better.
It would be great if my legs and feet could stand up.
I remember that at that time, Old Yangtou comforted Old Jiangtou, saying that Jiang Er was young and only in his forties. Unlike him, an old man in his seventies, Jiang Er still had hope.
Unexpectedly, only two days have passed and Jiang Er has died?
"It was said that there was no one at home. Jiang Er fell off the bed and broke his neck and died. When Jiang Xianjun came back from Zhengjia Village, he was so cold. If he had come back earlier, he might have been able to be saved..."
"Why is there no one in his house? Didn't Xian Junniang go home after the fight with the fourth aunt?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
"She's back home. She won't care about Jiang Er's affairs. I heard that Jiang Xianjun has been waiting for Jiang Er to eat, drink and have sex. Anyway, when Jiang Xianjun came home, Jiang Er was out of breath, and That stupid woman is still cooking in the kitchen, saying she was injured in the fight with me and wanted to make some good repairs for herself..."
Everyone had heard these things before, and now they could not help but sigh when they heard them repeated by Da Sun and Yang Ruoqing.
