Chapter 81 She is Blind

Zhang Mei ignored her and walked quickly to her daughter. She looked at her two granddaughters, who were like little kids, about to wash clothes with cold hands. She felt so distressed.

"My dear relatives, you Liu family are really shameless to let two young children wash clothes. I want to ask the village chief Liu. He is the head of the village. Does he care if your people bully the daughter-in-law and abuse the granddaughter-in-law?"

Mrs. Qian immediately glared and yelled, "Well, you're from Daohua Village and you're here to teach our Liu family a lesson? How dare you? Whose child doesn't work? How can a little girl like her eat for free if she doesn't work?"

"Eat white rice? My daughter went back to her parents' home a month ago and brought back five kilograms of brown rice. Before that, she also brought back five kilograms of coarse noodles. She must have brought back a lot in the past few years. Do I need to tell you how long these things will be enough for the three of them to eat?

How heartless! Is it the custom in your village to live off your wife's family?"

"What are you talking about? No wonder your daughter is so close to the divorced second daughter-in-law of the Gao family. They are both chickens that can't lay eggs. Only my son is kind-hearted, otherwise he should have divorced her."

"you……"

"Mom, stop arguing. It's not worth it to make yourself angry." Li Shuangshuang quickly picked up the child and pulled her mother back into the house.

Zhang Mei looked at her thin daughter and touched her two frail granddaughters, and couldn't help but shed tears.

When my daughter gave birth to my first child, because it was a girl, she only stayed in bed for five days before having to go back to work. This was because I, her mother, was watching over her, otherwise I'm afraid she would have been sent to bed the next day. But after all, my daughter was someone else's, and I couldn't keep interfering.

Soon after that, she gave birth to her second child, also a daughter. She had to go to work in the fields on the third day and suffered from poor health. She blamed herself for not inquiring carefully enough at the beginning. She didn't know this family was so cruel.

"I know that mothers-in-law usually bully their daughters-in-law, but why didn't you go home and tell your father and me when she bullied you three like this?

It's just a matter of two villages walking distance. The less you say, the more they bully you. Didn't I ask you to bring back two pieces of coarse cloth to make clothes for my granddaughter a few days ago? Where is the cloth?"

Li Shuangshuang lowered her head and whispered, "My mother-in-law gave the cloth to my eldest sister-in-law's daughter."

The mother-in-law used filial piety to pressure her, and she had no choice. If she didn't give it to him, she would be unfilial. She cried and made a fuss, and the whole family scolded her. She couldn't win the fight, so she had to give it to him.

Zhang Mei stood up angrily: "I'm going to ask this old bitch for it back from her. If she doesn't give it to me, I'm going to go find your father and the eldest and second sons and ask them to come to the Liu family to make trouble."

Li Shuangshuang immediately grabbed Zhang Mei and advised, "Mom, don't be impulsive. They have someone in the county government. If something really happens, we will suffer."

Zhang Mei sat down again, her eyes red with anger and she felt helpless.

After a moment of silence, he sighed, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, opened it and found a few snacks inside, and handed them to his granddaughter: "Big girl, second girl, eat quickly."

"Thank you, grandma."

The two little girls took the snacks. The eldest girl picked up a piece and handed it to Li Shuangshuang's mouth. Li Shuangshuang pushed it back, holding back her tears: "Mom is not hungry, eat it, eldest girl."

The two children ate in small bites.

Zhang Mei said, "A few days ago, your aunt Su Ying gave me some nice scraps of cloth to make some hair ornaments. I'm keeping them for my two children. Next time you go back to your parents' home, I'll give them to them so that I don't have to give them to you and have that damn old woman snatch them away."

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's also my fault that I found you such a husband. I see that Wanyue is doing well now, so I really want you to get a divorce."

Li Shuangshuang smiled bitterly. It was not her mother who chose her. It was obviously her who was blind and fell in love with Liu Zhaocai and insisted on marrying him. Her mother also asked someone to investigate, and the result was that Mrs. Qian and the eldest daughter-in-law had a harmonious relationship and the family was happy.

Mrs. Qian had a nephew from her mother's side working in the government office, so she was relieved.

But the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family was the niece of Mrs. Qian, and she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Liu family. How could they not get along? She was an outsider, and she had not given birth to a son, so naturally she could not be tough.

But she didn't want to worry her family, so she just said, "Mom, my husband treats me well. Besides, Yueyue's brother and sister-in-law are both very nice. If I divorce, my eldest sister-in-law and my younger sister-in-law will probably make a fuss. Don't ruin our good life for me."

Zhang Mei snorted coldly: "After all, your father and I are the ones who make the decisions in our family. If they don't like it, I will let your eldest brother and younger brother divorce them. If they don't want to, then we can separate the family and your father and I will take care of you."

Li Shuangshuang smiled bitterly. How could she go back and cause more trouble? Then she changed the subject: "Mom, why are you here in the afternoon?"

Zhang Mei then thought of the purpose of this visit and lowered her voice: "It's Wanyue, the girl. She has cooperated with the restaurant in the town. Now mother will get ten cents if she cuts spring bamboo shoots for her every morning.

She wants to collect duck eggs and mung beans. She has collected all the duck eggs in Daohua Village before, so she wants you to help collect the duck eggs. She will give you thirty cents for collecting one hundred duck eggs or one hundred kilograms of mung beans. "

"What? This is too much. It doesn't take much effort. Just shout and it's done. Why do I need to pay?"

"She said that if you don't accept the money, she will find someone else to do it. Yue girl is a good person. You two had a good relationship in the past. She also remembered that you wrote to your uncle and aunt Li, and she is thinking about it. Recently, she has given me snacks, brown sugar, oil residue and rags. I am embarrassed to accept them."

"I know. It was she who introduced me to the owner of Zuixianju. Now I don't even need to set up a stall to sell eggs. I can just take them to Zuixianju. Seeing that she is doing well, I feel relieved."

Zhang Mei nodded and reminded quietly, "Shuangshuang, you should also consider your two daughters and save some money for yourself. If you don't know how to hide your private money, I'll help you save it. Bring the children back every now and then, and I'll make something delicious for you. You can ignore yourself, but you have to take care of the children at least."

"I know." Li Shuangshuang nodded: "Mom, please go to the village center later and tell them to send the duck eggs they want to sell directly to Yueyue's house or ours. I... I'm really busy and can't help her collect them."

At this time, Mrs. Qian's weird voice was heard outside again.

"The sun is setting, and other families have started to cook, but ours is still cold. Why am I so miserable? All the daughters-in-law I married are lazy."

Li Shuangshuang looked at her mother guiltily: "Mom, please go back first. I will definitely take good care of the two children."

"Your mother-in-law is exactly the same as Wanyue's ex-mother-in-law. I wonder if the Gao family's boy has a better life now that he has married a new wife."

Li Shuangshuang smiled and said, "Their home is also very lively."

After saying that, he stood up to send Zhang Mei off. Zhang Mei took out twenty copper coins from her bosom and handed them to her: "On weekdays, you can ask your neighbors to cook a few eggs for you to eat with your children. Don't let yourself suffer. If you have any grievances, you must go back and tell your mother."

"I know."

After Zhang Mei left, Li Shuangshuang quickly hid the money and went to cook.

Mrs. Qian stared at Li Shuangshuang's door for a long time before she snorted coldly and went back into the house.

At this time, the Gao family was also arguing about cooking.
