When Huo Shichu and Aunt Zhou returned to the foot of the mountain, they saw an old woman with droopy eyelids half-covering her triangular eyes and two deep nasolabial folds carved on both sides of her lips and nose, looking at her expressionlessly in a vegetable field. .
This is Wei Dalang's stepmother, the old woman from the Wei family who cruelly drove her seriously injured stepson out of the house. No wonder she has a mean look that is hard to mess with. After all, love comes from the heart.
Huo Shichu also glanced at her expressionlessly and pretended not to see her. She was Wei Dalang's stepmother and had nothing to do with her.
"Xiao Huo, don't pay attention to her. Da Lang has already separated from his family, and even signed a deed. Those who agreed that Da Lang will no longer support them in old age have broken off. You don't have to be polite when you meet them in the future." Aunt Zhou also saw the unhappy old lady Wei, and whispered to Huo Shichu.
Huo Shichu's eyes lit up, "Did Wei Dalang break up with their family?" She was very happy that she didn't have to interact with those top people.
"Yes, because they were making a fuss about breaking up the family and refused to give Dalang a house and money, Dalang simply called the village chief and the elders and said that they wanted to break off the relationship. From now on, he would no longer be the son of Old Man Wei, nor would he be the son of Mr. Wei. They will not support them in their old age. Old Man Wei feels that Dalang will never recover and becomes a useless person, so he naturally wants to get rid of this burden. They are also afraid that Dalang will trouble them, but they don't know that Dalang takes the initiative to break off their relationship. They are eager to do so. , signed the deed immediately."
Aunt Zhou explained to Huo Shichu, "Da Lang was also stubborn and asked the clan elder to find a family with no descendants and adopt him out, so now Da Lang has nothing to do with them, and his life, old age, illness and death have nothing to do with them. Of course, the birth, old age, illness and death of Old Man Wei and the others have nothing to do with Dalang."
The two of them walked away as they spoke. Mrs. Wei looked straight at Huo Shichu's figure. She didn't know what she was thinking. Her eldest daughter-in-law asked, "Mom, did you see it just now? Dalang's family changed." The wife who came here picked a lot of fungus mushrooms...enough to feed our family several meals."
As she spoke, she looked at her mother-in-law's face. She had already hinted so clearly that her mother-in-law would try her best to get back the fungus mushrooms picked by the woman, right?
Mrs. Wei's expression changed as expected, but after all she had broken up with Dalang Wei, and it was hard for her to come to the door again, so she just remained silent.
When the eldest daughter-in-law saw this, she quickly fanned the flames, "Mom, you bought everything for me with a bag of corn. Without your kindness, she might have starved to death somewhere, and how could she go up the mountain? Let me tell you, she She is just ungrateful. She obviously saw you just now, but she pretended not to see you. Not only did she not take the initiative to give those mountain products to mother to try, she didn't even say hello to you. She obviously came to our house with a grudge, right?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei said fiercely, "How dare she?! Sure enough, she is so young and has no one to teach her that she is ignorant. She doesn't even know how to respect her elders..."
At this time, she had forgotten that Wei Dalang had severed ties with their family, and she still wanted to pretend to be an elder in front of Huo Shichu.
"So mother, don't we need you to teach her?" the eldest daughter-in-law said glibly, then she rolled her eyes and sighed, "Stone said yesterday that he wanted to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms, but where can we have it at home? Mushrooms..."
Mrs. Wei's eyes suddenly became firm, she dropped the melon gourd in her hand and said, "You continue watering the vegetables, I have something to do." Then she quickly followed Huo Shichu with small steps.
Wei Erlang's daughter-in-law Zhang Xi smiled happily. It didn't matter that Wei Erlang couldn't squeeze anything out. His wife could still squeeze it out!
When it came to taking advantage, Mrs. Wei was really quick on her feet and more nimble than the young people. She quickly caught up with Huo Shichu.
"My boss! I called you! Are you deaf?" Old Mrs. Wei shouted displeased.
At first, Huo Shichu didn't realize that he was being called, and was still walking with Aunt Zhou. However, the shouts behind her got closer and closer, and she looked back out of curiosity.
As a result, she saw Mrs. Wei staring at her fiercely.
"Wei family, what do you want to do?" Aunt Zhou also saw her and suddenly felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, fearing that Huo Shichu's tender face would be bullied by Mrs. Wei.
"What does it have to do with you? I'm looking for the boss!" Old Mrs. Wei rolled her eyes at Aunt Zhou and said.
"Old man, what's going on with you? You don't know how to be filial and filial to your elders even though you have good things in your hands? Fortunately, I was kind enough to save you, but I didn't expect you to be ungrateful... If you are sensible, I'll put you in the basket quickly. Give me your stuff!" Mrs. Wei scolded Huo Shichu, and confidently asked her for something.
Huo Shichu sneered, "Elder? Whose elder are you? Are you old and confused? Have you forgotten what happened two days ago? It doesn't matter if you forget. I can remind you that Wei Dalang has been adopted. I'm someone else, and I signed a divorce agreement with you, so what qualifications do you have to come to me and ask for something?"
Old Mrs. Wei didn't expect that she would say such a thing. Her old face like orange peel turned red with anger. She angrily cursed, "What kind of adoption or divorce! As long as my old man doesn't die, he must be filial." Can the blood relationship be erased after adoption? You bitch! I’m flattering you by saying I want something from you. Give it to me now!”
After saying that, she rushed up to grab Huo Shichu's basket. How could Huo Shichu have his things taken away by her? She dodged nimbly, but Mrs. Wei rushed over with too much force and failed to hit Huo Shichu. There was no buffer to block her. Her body suddenly lost control and she fell. On the ground, there was a mouthful of mud.
"Hey, don't touch the porcelain. I didn't even touch the edge of you. I didn't cause you to fall." Huo Shichu said and quickly jumped to the side, fearing that she would fall on him.
"Aunt Zhou, you have to testify for me." She didn't forget to ask Aunt Zhou for help.
"Of course! I have seen it clearly. She fell on her own and it was not your fault! Hum, she really deserves it!" Aunt Zhou said with gloating eyes at Old Mrs. Wei who couldn't get up for a long time.
At this time, they had entered the village, and because Huo Shichu was the gossip topic in the village recently, the people around them were staring at them intentionally or unintentionally.
"Mr. Wei, I also saw that you didn't touch her. She can't rely on you!" At this point, an old aunt from a nearby family who witnessed everything spoke up.
"Then thank you, aunt, for testifying for me." Huo Shichu smiled at her generously and said.
"It's nothing, it's all because she went too far! How can she have the nerve to ask you for something after Mrs. Wei has adopted her? It's so shameless." The old aunt looked at Mrs. Wei with disdain and said, she can step on Mrs. Wei , she was happy.
Old Mrs. Wei has a sarcastic personality and loves to take advantage. There are few people in the village whom she has not offended, so now everyone will only help Huo Shichu but not her.
"If you want to steal my things again, then I have to ask the elders of the clan whether the adoption and divorce still count. If not, then I will be given two rooms in your house..." Huo Shichu said.
When Mrs. Wei heard her words, she felt like a duck being pinched by the neck, and immediately stopped.
