Chapter 320 I've put up with you for a long time

He Er was about to curse when her mother glared at her.

Jiang Hongying was holding her two younger children, while He Chuan was with his eldest son, Xiao Xu.

The people present were all lost in thought, each with their own ideas.

Just because of a talisman, the previously fierce and domineering Old Lady He changed her expression. Could it be that Song Chunxue really has some skills?

"You became a vegetarian because you were almost bitten to death by a snake and made a vow at the temple. The patriarch appeared in your dream and told you to become a vegetarian to fulfill your vow, right? But over the years, you have secretly eaten meat a few times. You have a bad temper and get angry for no reason. You can't bear to hurt your own son, so you take it out on my daughter. What, is it too much to ask you to admit your mistake?"

These words made Old Lady He's hair stand on end, and her tailbone stiffen.

Song Chunxue sneered, "Or would you rather see your son become my son-in-law and live with me in Liangzhou City?"

“Actually, I think Liangzhou City is not as good as our place. Your whole family only cultivates twenty-odd acres of land. If God is willing to send rain, it will be fine. But if it's like this year, with not a drop of rain for a month and a half, starvation is only a matter of time.”

"Besides, this is a military fortress. If a war breaks out, the people living outside the city will be the first to suffer. There have been quite a few people stealing chickens, pigs, and sheep in the past few years. It seems that your pigs have been stolen twice."

She was like a fortune teller, with her chin slightly raised, arrogant and mysterious.

"In my opinion, it would be better for He Chuan to become our son-in-law. I won't boast that I will treat him like my own son, but I can promise that I will only give him money, food and land to grow, and I will absolutely not interfere in the lives of his family of five."

He Chuan looked at her in surprise; those last words struck a chord with him.

From childhood to adulthood, he was a child closely watched and strictly controlled by his mother. Although she said he was the most favored youngest son, he was actually beaten, scolded, and reprimanded, and was treated worse than his daughter.

At least when they reach marriageable age, they can escape their parents' control.

The old woman from the He family had a complicated expression, with her brows slightly furrowed.

"Is my mother-in-law truly a spiritual practitioner?"

“I’ve been cultivating for two and a half years, but I haven’t done much farming.” Song Chunxue flicked the yellow dust off her skirt, her patience almost gone. “If my mother-in-law has nothing to say to my Hongying, we’ll be leaving now.”

"No rush, no rush, let's eat before we go. I'll go cook." With that, Old Mrs. He got up, picked up the teapot, took a sip of water, and then washed her hands with the water from her mouth.

"..." Song Chunxue felt nauseous. "Don't you have a sink at home? Who would dare eat food cooked with hands washed like that? I'm leaving now. My senior brother is waiting for me to go back and perform the Kitchen God's Sacrifice."

As soon as she stood up, Jiang Hongying and He Chuan also stood up.

"Where are you moving to? Have you already bought a yard?" The old woman, unable to bring herself to apologize, smiled and changed the subject, "Can I go and take a look?"

“No, you’re not welcome in the courtyard my senior brother bought.” As she spoke, Song Chunxue pointed to the box on the ground. “Hongying, you two carry the box onto the cart and take it away.”

“I’ll carry the boxes, Hongying, you can pull the cart.”

The thought of leaving this suffocating courtyard made He Chuan very happy, and he felt that his legs were more agile than before.

Several children followed behind, happily jumping down the steps, as if they couldn't wait to leave the courtyard.

"Xiao Xu shouldn't go. The courtyard will be so empty after you all leave," Old Mrs. He said with a forced smile. "Let Xiao Xu keep me company."

Xiao Xu's smile vanished instantly, and she gripped Hong Ying's clothes tightly.

Hongying was already hesitant.

“You don’t even care about the child, what’s the point of keeping him around? We’re going to have a nice meal tonight, you’re just trying to make him sad.” Song Chunxue took Xiaoxu’s hand. “Come on, let’s have barbecue and brown sugar water tonight.”

Xiao Xu cried in grievance, but when she looked up at Song Chunxue and smiled, her eyes were full of tears.

"Okay, let's go drink some sweet water." Xiao Xu wiped away her tears and tightly grasped Song Chunxue's hand.

Song Chunxue couldn't help but look at Hongying, wanting to blame her for not loving Xiaoxu enough, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The preface reminded her of the Third Child from her childhood.

She has no right to criticize others for not knowing how to take care of their children.

He Er wanted to say something, but seeing that his mother didn't stop him, he held back with great difficulty.

The next moment, he saw his wife appear at the gate of the courtyard.

"Mother, what's wrong? Is He Chuan really moving away?" He Er's wife mocked. "What benefits did Hongying's mother give him? I didn't realize He Chuan was so greedy for money."

He Chuan didn't say anything, and walked out with the box in his arms.

Song Chunxue let Hongying and the child walk ahead, while she led Xiaoxu across the threshold, ignoring the woman with the crooked mouth and slanted eyes.

The old woman gave He Er's wife a wink, and the two women exchanged knowing glances before following her out of the courtyard.

Seeing how docile He Chuan was so eager to leave, I felt a pang of resentment.

"Did you really buy the yard? How big is it? How much did you pay?"

The old woman from the He family said in a gentle tone, "My dear in-law is right. I shouldn't have scolded Hongying, but there are always arguments between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. I will treat Hongying better in the future."

Everyone fell silent.

"Is that what you call arguing? You're clearly just showing off and not treating my Hongying like a human being."

Song Chunxue bluntly said, "Can a dog change its nature? I don't believe that you can find such a hardworking and yet arbitrarily abusive daughter-in-law after leaving our Hongying. Every daughter is born of her parents."

"Hey, who are you calling a dog? My mother is speaking politely, how can you be like this?" He Er's wife blocked Song Chunxue's way and shouted, "Mother, if you let them move out, who will cook for you in the future?"

"Ha, of course it's you, my dutiful daughter-in-law, who should do it. Do you expect my Hongying to be a silly daughter-in-law for the rest of her life? Your cooking is delicious and you're capable, so you'll be in charge of taking care of your mother-in-law from now on." Song Chunxue pushed her aside. "A good dog doesn't block the way."

"You..." The man, who was used to being arrogant and domineering, was filled with rage and immediately stretched out his arms to push Song Chunxue.

Song Chunxue smiled, deftly wrapped one arm around her arm, and kicked her in the stomach.

The next moment, He Er's wife cried out and rolled backward, tumbling down the slope.

Except for He Er, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

Surprisingly, He Er's wife, who looked so strong and burly, was so easily pushed around.

"You fucking dare to hit me? I'll fight you to the death."

He's second wife flew into a rage, rolled over from the bottom of the embankment, and grabbed her clothes as she climbed up.

He Er reached out and pulled her up.

She reached out her hand towards Hongying's hair, panting heavily.

Without thinking, Song Chunxue kicked her thick, sturdy buttocks.

She has been practicing standing meditation for two years, and her legwork is truly impressive.

Sure enough, He's second wife lay on the ground again.

"You old hag, why do you always resort to violence? Believe me or not..."

He Er got angry and raised his hand to slap Song Chunxue across the face.

"Clap clap clap!"

Song Chunxue shook her numb hand. She hadn't meant to slap them; they were the ones who didn't appreciate her kindness.

She looked coldly at the old woman from the He family, "You want to make a move too? Come on, we haven't settled the score for what you did to her before."

She rolled up her sleeves, her fiery eyes tinged with excitement. "I've put up with you for a long time."
