However, Shen Hongmei smiled and put the bowl in her hand on the table with a bang: "Second Aunt's family is really calculating. The little one made a fuss and ran away after eating. I, Erbai, also hid away, leaving our family here to clean up the mess."
Li Xiang quickly took the rag and wiped the kang mat clean: "I'll do it, I'll do it, I can do it myself."
After cleaning the table and the kang mat, Li Xiang quickly served out the remaining porridge from Shen Siyue and fed it to Old Lady Wang.
The other members of the Shen family sat back at the table to eat.
There was only half a bowl of food in Grandma Wang's bowl, and she finished it in just a few bites.
Old Mrs. Wang, who was already holding a grudge in her heart, felt her chest heaving violently, and she pinched the back of Li Xiang's hand.
She took out all her anger towards Shen Siyue on Li Xiang.
Pinching the back of her hand was not enough to satisfy her, so she slapped her and pulled her hair. Old Lady Wang used her left hand, which was still able to move, to torture Li Xiang as much as possible.
Even though it hurt so much, Li Xiang didn't dare to say a word and let Old Lady Wang vent her anger.
Seeing how cowardly she looked, Old Lady Wang became even more furious.
He snatched the bowl from her hand, pushed aside the useless thing, and threw it at Old Man Shen who was sitting next to her eating.
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry with Old Man Shen that she didn't even ask her daughter-in-law to make more for her. This amount of food was not even enough to fill her teeth.
Because he was lying down and unable to move, he lost his aim and the bowl didn't hit Old Man Shen, but hit the back of his third son.
Chen Qiushu glanced back impatiently: "Mom, what are you doing? The damn girl made a fuss and you made another fuss. Can you give me a break?"
Shen Limin, the youngest grandson of the Shen family, gulped down the porridge in his bowl and said to Old Lady Wang foolishly: "Grandma, you said you can't move anymore, so just eat less! If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea and pee, and you will feel uncomfortable, right?"
Old man Shen raised his eyes and scolded his grandson: "Your grandma loves you in vain? She can't even stop you from eating."
Shen Limin has always been a tough guy, and he doesn't care about what he said: "Master, I'm telling the truth. My grandma won't be able to work in the future, so isn't it normal for her to eat less?"
Old man Shen just glared at him but did not refute his grandson's words.
Everyone else ate in silence. The only sounds at the table were the sound of sips of porridge, the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, and the whimpering curses of Old Lady Wang next to them.
Old man Shen was so annoyed that he turned his head and frowned at Old Lady Wang.
That look was like a butcher looking at the pigs in the pigsty, judging whether to slaughter them or not.
Just this one look made Old Lady Wang's inarticulate curse stuck in her throat.
She actually saw murderous intent in her husband's eyes.
The leg that could move suddenly began to shake uncontrollably, and the sounds from his mouth became muted.
As a rural old lady who had worked hard and risen from a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law, she knew too well that once she got old and paralyzed on the kang, her death would be extremely miserable.
That's why she was afraid, afraid that her old man and sons would treat her harshly.
But he had been paralyzed on the kang for many years. It had only been less than a day and the old man already disliked her?
There are so many ways to let a person who can't move die quietly on the kang. Isn't not giving him food the best way? It can also save food rations.
The thought of this made her tremble with fear, and she urinated uncontrollably on the mattress.
Soon the room was filled with the smell of urine again.
Shen Limin covered his nose and said, "Fuck, what's that smell?"
After saying that, she realized what was happening and started yelling at Old Lady Wang: "Grandma, did you pee again? I told you to eat less, eat less, who can stand this?"
"I won't sleep in this room at night. It smells too bad."
The little grandson's words of complete disregard made Old Lady Wang, who always prided herself on being capable, feel ashamed. She covered her face with her left hand and started to cry.
Old man Shen felt choked up in his chest, his head filled with cries and complaints.
He threw his chopsticks on the table: "If you don't want to eat, get out of here."
Everyone wants to be coaxed, who will coax him?
Although Old Man Shen was angry, Old Lady Wang, who felt abandoned, cried even more sadly.
Although she couldn't hear the noisy quarrel in the old house, Shen Siyue in the small east room could clearly hear the crying of Old Lady Wang.
As expected, when people let go, they are invincible. Eat when you want to, put down your chopsticks and leave, without having to work, it's great.
In the past, Shen Siyue did all the housework at home, and no one said a good word to her.
Even her own mother Li Xiang thought it was natural.
Now that Shen Siyue had given up, the remaining cleaning work naturally fell on Li Xiang.
After dinner, Wang Huilian went back to the house on the pretext of a sore nose and a headache, and Shen Hongmei naturally followed her.
It gets dark early in winter. As soon as the sun sets, everyone goes back to their rooms. The Shen family, which has been noisy all day, finally quiets down.
After a few days of fermentation, the Shen family's affairs set off a wave of gossip in the entire Dongliang Village.
No matter how nicely Old Man Shen said that day, the rumor that the fourth girl of the Shen family had gone insane still spread in the village.
And it becomes more and more bizarre as it spreads.
The villagers said all kinds of things. Some said that Old Man Shen hit people on the head with his big stick and made them stupid.
There are also rumors that the entire Shen family is troubled by the fourth girl alone. All the work is done by her, but she is not given any food to eat, so she is starving and stupid.
Some also said that it must be because of the marriage proposal that Shen Jia Si Ni was so upset that she went crazy.
Speaking of marriage, someone dug up the situation of the family that Shen Siyue was going to marry this time.
He was getting married for the second time. His previous wife was beaten to death, so he spent a lot of money to marry such a virgin girl. It was because of this fourth girl that he hit his head against the wall and became stupid.
