Because of the death of their parents, the three Yun Shu siblings could not go to other people's homes to pay New Year greetings except at their old home. Therefore, on New Year's Day, they only sat briefly in the old home and chatted with Wang Dazhi for a while. The old lady couldn't wait to pinch them, took the New Year's money given by her grandfather, and left the old house.
Da Zhuang looked at the three dollars, and without thinking about Mrs. Wang's expression, he secretly exhaled a breath and said with a smile: "Sister, I don't dare to be so generous!"
Yun Shu also looked at the three dollars in his hand, and smiled when he thought of Mrs. Wang's angry expression but did not dare to speak.
Look, she doesn’t need to do anything. Wang Dazhi, who recognizes the reality, can
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost died.
Along the way, there were children and adults laughing and playing, and the Yunshu siblings also smiled, saying "Happy New Year" to the familiar and unfamiliar one by one.
But they didn't expect that there were many people waiting for them on the road, including Wang Ye who lived at the other end.
When he was almost at the door of his house, he didn't meet anyone anymore. Yun Shu looked at the twenty or thirty red envelopes in his hand, and said softly to Da Zhuang who was looking down and thinking about something: "Dazhuang, we will not let these people who love and protect us Disappointing, right?”
Da Zhuang, with reddish eyes, raised his head and nodded vigorously, "Of course!"
…
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when a married daughter returns to her parents' home. On this day, Yun Shu is in a particularly good mood. The drama is about to begin!
The Wang family's old residence.
Xia Zhaodi got up before five o'clock. Her old and immortal mother-in-law was like a gunshot these days. She was going to explode at every turn. Even if she was pushed against her everywhere, this sophomore in junior high school actually didn't even bother to show off when she returned to her parents' home. Not even prepared.
Although the family was divided, it was between them and Dafang, so all the money the family earned was in the hands of Mrs. Wang. Naturally, she prepared things or directly paid for any favors.
But this year, let alone things, I didn’t even see a penny of money. That damn old woman only cried about her poverty with that useless good-for-nothing Wang Tiezhu.
She said that without the pension money given by her eldest son, and a lot of money was spent on treating Wang Dazhi's injuries, her previous savings were all spent, and she really couldn't come up with any money.
As for the New Year's ceremony, they either have to figure it out on their own, or they don't go there at all.
Anyway, Wang Jinzhu is dead, and as Wang Tiezhu's younger brother, he cannot go to other people's homes and break into other people's homes.
Does this old immortal think she is as stupid as Wang Tiezhu?
Not to mention the money given to her by the two fools Wang Tiezhu and Jin Shunxin, just Wang Dazhi's pension and salary, which together add up to ten yuan a month.
Wang Ye really wanted a lot, a full three hundred yuan, which was an astronomical figure for any family in the village, but for their family, it was only a small part of Mrs. Wang's savings.
Xia Zhaodi had been holding her breath for a long time. In addition, she had to go to her parents' house to find out the news. She almost fell out with Mrs. Wang. What else did she have to fear now? She had to go back this time anyway.
Xia Zhaodi secretly hid her private room and went to the cellar outside the house. Unexpectedly, the cellar was locked. She cursed secretly that the old woman had been guarding her for a long time.
But there were still a lot of leftovers from yesterday. She went to the bowl rack in the main room, and there was indeed a bowl of meat and vegetables, a plate of dumplings, and two rice dishes on the bottom shelf.
Just as Xia Zhaodi was about to reach out, she heard a low and gloomy voice coming from behind her, "I thought there was a thief at home, but it turned out to be you? Wife-in-law Tiezhu, are you trying to steal my things?"
Xia Zhaodi was frightened. She turned around suddenly and saw a figure standing at the door of the kitchen under the moonlight on the snow. It was Mrs. Wang.
"Mom, look at what you said. We haven't separated, so what do you call mine? I'm going to my mother's house soon. Tie Zhu asked me to come over and see if there's anything to eat, so I can fill my stomach."
Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "Didn't I tell you that your eldest brother just died and according to the rules you cannot go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings? Even if your in-laws don't respond, you, as a daughter and sister, have to make an example for your family.
Besides, those who know say that you care about your mother's family, but those who don't know think that our Wang family has no rules! "
Mrs. Wang is a person who really wants to live if she loves her, and wants to die if she hates her.
In the past, there was a more annoying person like Jin Shunxin blocking the way, and Xia Zhaodi was quite good at flattery, so the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very obvious.
But now, without Jin Shunxin as a shield, Xia Zhaodi is exposed in more and more places. Mrs. Wang is not a fool, how could she still be fooled.
In just a few days, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have fought countless times.
As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang has a natural advantage in status; while Xia Zhaodi is slightly superior in intelligence and wins over Wang Tiezhu with tenderness.
So far, the two sides are tied.
But this time, it was Mrs. Wang who took the lead.
If looks could kill, Mrs. Wang would probably die countless times.
Xia Zhaodi turned around and left without saying a word. Old Mrs. Wang spat behind her, "Shameless little whore, you eat my food and drink my food. Now you actually want to instigate my son to separate the family. Bah, as long as I don't die, This family can't be separated. If you don't want to live with this, just get out. Tomorrow I will still call my son a yellow flower girl."
When Xia Zhaodi heard this, she stopped in her tracks, clenched her fists tightly, restrained herself, and had a twisted look on her face: Old lady, just wait for me.
When she returned to the house, she saw Wang Tiezhu sleeping soundly with his arms stretched out. She couldn't bear the boredom in her heart. She got on the kang and stepped on him hard. She stepped on Wang Tiezhu's calf and heard an "ouch" sound. , Wang Tiezhu sat up.
"Brother Tiezhu, are you okay? I didn't dare to light the lamp because I was afraid of disturbing your sleep. It's all my fault. I was too careless. Where did I step on you?"
Xia Zhaodi quickly got off the kang and lit the kerosene lamp. Wang Tiezhu was rubbing his calf and said angrily: "You are up and down in the middle of the night, why are you running around?"
Xia Zhaodi paused and said a little aggrievedly: "Brother Tiezhu, it's already five o'clock. Didn't you say you want to go back to my parents' house for a visit? I was thinking that I didn't borrow a car yesterday, so I should leave early today. Besides, We are all going back to our parents’ homes today, so it won’t look good if we go out empty-handed and let the village see us!”
After Wang Tiezhu heard this, his body froze, and his voice was a little guilty, but he immediately said forcefully: "Didn't Mom say she won't go to your house this year? Besides, with your father and mother's temperament, , how can you not respond? It’s not like they have never done anything to coax their daughter-in-law and son-in-law to go out. If you want to go, you can do it by yourself, I don’t want to embarrass you. "
Wang Tiezhu looked down upon his wife's family, including his mother-in-law, brother-in-law, his wife and children. There was no one in that family who was not powerful or good.
He used to be the "young master" of the captain's family. He also had an eldest brother who was an officer and a wealthy sister-in-law. The family just wanted to support him like an ancestor.
As for the eldest sister's family, who was in a poor condition, they left their things behind and skipped lunch. They even sent people out directly for fear that their daughter would waste food.
Wang Tiezhu also favors sons over daughters, but his daughter is also his own, and he will not be stingy with what he can give her.
So at that time, Wang Tiezhu was enjoying the feeling of being flattered while despising the Xia family.
But now, his home is no better than before, and he knows with his toes what kind of ridicule and treatment he will suffer if he goes there empty-handed.
