Xiang Nan from Daxiang Village dumped the charming son of the richest man and married a 28-year-old single leftover man who only owned three thatched huts.
Everyone waited for her to regret i...
Zhang Ying rolled over while sleeping on the ridge of a field, and she rolled into the field. Her face was covered in mud. She screamed and got up: "Where is this! Why am I here? Ahhhh, what is all over me? Why is it all covered in mud!"
Aunt Jiang rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you yelling? Come to work when you wake up. Grab your sickle and harvest the rice. If you don't harvest the rice today, you won't have anything to eat."
Zhang Ying stood at the edge of the field, bewildered. "You! You want me to do this? My dad is the provincial party secretary, and you want me to do this! You country bumpkin, you're crazy!"
"I don't care who your father is. Xiangnan said that if you don't work, don't even think about eating. Just don't cry when you're hungry."
Aunt Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to her. She had to do more work before the sun came out.
Soon, the three Huo brothers arrived wearing straw hats, holding sickles and carrying water bottles. They glanced at Zhang Ying, who was covered in mud and said, "You've gotten yourself into this mess before you even start working. If you can't work, don't eat."
Without us country folks farming, where would you get your food? And you still look down on country folks."
Huo Yun spat at her and went to work in the fields.
After a while, Aunt Zhou's husband Zhang Changfu also came with his two sons. They all worked together very enthusiastically.
I just don't bother to pay attention to Zhang Ying. Xiangnan told me not to bother with her anyway. If she doesn't work, she will starve. It's her own business if she starves to death.
Zhang Ying naturally did not work. She went to the canal to wash herself clean, and then hid under a tree to cool off.
Xiangnan didn't care about her. She took Ji Nini to make ice cream and many delicious dishes.
Today, everyone goes to the fields to harvest rice, so naturally we have to prepare delicious treats.
Everyone ate a quick meal before going to the fields, so the meal they had to have after the sun came out had to be good.
Zhang Ying sat there and felt hungry. She hadn't eaten anything in the morning and was woken up so early. When everyone finished work, Aunt Jiang dragged her back home.
The table was filled with delicious food, and the aroma filled the air. Zhang Ying ran over, picked up her chopsticks, and was about to eat. But someone pushed her aside and said, "What did you do to deserve this?"
Huo Yun glared at her and said contemptuously, "Sister-in-law said that if you don't work, don't even think about eating. We were so tired just now and you just sat there watching. Now you want to eat? Dream on."
Xiangnan asked everyone to sit down and eat, but Zhang Ying couldn't even touch the table.
Xiangnan said slowly, "If you're not working, then eat porridge. There's a bowl of porridge over there. Go and drink it yourself. Just don't starve to death."
Zhang Ying couldn't believe it: "You! How dare you not give me food! If anything happens to me, my family will never let you go!"
"Mr. Zhang said that it's enough to keep you alive. You are a useless thing. What contribution can you make to the family if you keep it? It's better to keep you as a dog. A dog can also guard the house.
Do you really think your family values you? Anyone who is of no use to the family can be abandoned.
You've offended the Huo family's crown prince. Your grandfather and your father wish they had never given birth to you. You'll bring ruin to your family, understand?"
Xiangnan shook his head: "She's been driven to this countryside, and she's still dreaming here. She really thinks her family wants her to experience country life... How pathetic."
"Impossible! My dad won't abandon me, no way!"
Ji Nini said: "If you don't change, your family can't protect you even if they want to. If it were me, I would just endure the hardship and wait until Xiangnan and Brother Huode calm down, then you will be fine.
You are so self-righteous even after making a mistake. I don’t know how Grandpa Zhang taught you.
If it were at my house, my grandfather would have broken my legs.”
She felt that Zhang Ying was just doing it. If she had apologized at the scene, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
She even dared to scold Brother Huo De. She is so brave.
If she really can't reflect on herself, Grandpa Zhang will really give up on her.
What Xiangnan said sounded cruel, but it was indeed the truth. A family like theirs would be abandoned if they were a drag on the family, and they would not support idlers.
Especially if someone's family is in trouble because of her, she will definitely not show any mercy.
Zhang Ying screamed, "Impossible! My dad loves me the most, he wouldn't..."
"Shut up, it's so noisy." Huo De said coldly: "Let her go out."
Huo Qing stood up and dragged Zhang Ying away. When big brother gets angry, it’s no joke.
"Come on, come on, eat. Don't let her affect your mood. Just treat it as a show." Xiangnan called on everyone to eat quickly.
After working for two or three hours, everyone was indeed hungry, so they had a very enjoyable meal.
"My sister-in-law has delicious food to eat at home. They are all cooked the same way, but the ones my sister-in-law cooks are better than those of his eldest sister-in-law." Huo Yun said with satisfaction.
Huo De glanced at him: “Your sister-in-law doesn’t cook for you.”
Huo Yun quickly said with a smile: "Hehe, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will work hard for you! It won't be in vain!"
"Okay, stop being so funny. Please help me keep an eye on Zhang Ying and don't let her get into trouble."
"clear."
Zhang Ying was also stubborn. She stayed in the house all day long and did no work. She wouldn't eat unless she wanted to. She only drank a bowl of porridge the whole day.
She was so hungry that she couldn't sleep at night, but it was impossible to ask her to work, especially to herd cattle, because the cattle were so smelly.
The next day, she only drank a bowl of porridge again. Xiangnan's bottom line was to give her a bowl of porridge as long as she didn't starve to death.
She deserves it. She doesn't work but still wants to eat. She really thinks she's a guest.
On the third day, Xiangnan asked Huo Yun to force her to herd cattle.
On this day, a convoy of three or four Toyota cars came to Xiangnan's house. Xiangnan was preparing to drive a tractor to pull some goods into the city and then go to see how his sister-in-law and her family were doing in the city.
But she didn't expect to encounter a small convoy. When she saw this scene, she knew that they were either rich or noble. Could it be that Zhang Ying and Ji Nini's family sent someone to miss them?
"Comrade, could you tell me how to get to Xiangnan's home?" the driver stuck his head out to ask for directions.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" Xiangnan stopped the tractor and looked at them suspiciously.
"Are you Xiangnan? Wait a minute." The driver got into the car and talked in the back seat for a while before sticking his head out and saying, "The person sitting in the back is the old man of the Huo family."
Xiangnan's eyes widened: "Who?"
The old man of the Huo family, isn’t that Huo De’s grandfather? Why did he come to their Daxiang Village?
I ran here from Jinghai.
Xiangnan quickly jumped off the tractor: "Grandpa Huo? Why did he come all the way here? My home is in the big house in front. I'll lead the way."
Xiangnan got on the tractor, started it with a rumble, turned it around neatly, and led the way.
I was wondering what Grandpa Huo was doing in Daxiang Village, forcing Huo De to divorce?
This old man really tried his best to come here himself.
Xiangnan parked the tractor in the open space behind, jumped off and ran into the house: "Brother Huo, your grandfather is here!"
Huo De put down the book in his hand and said, "Wife, who is here? Grandpa?"
The Huo family’s grandfather has long passed away.
"Your dear grandpa! That grandpa from Jinghai drove here in three or four cars, and it looked like they were going to tie you up and take you back."
Huo pulled her hand and squeezed it, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. Grandpa usually brings security with him when he goes out. Come with me and take a look. Don't worry."
