But the only response from the room was dead silence.
Li Xiang stood at the door and continued to mutter.
As it was getting dark today, when the sister-in-law went to close the door, Li Xiang found that the small east room was quiet.
My daughter, who usually heats the kang at this time, is not at home.
She was very concerned at that time and lay on the kang without falling asleep.
It was not until a thumping sound was heard in the yard that she quietly put on her clothes and walked out.
Sure enough, he saw his daughter standing in the yard and was about to go back to the house.
Considering the sound just now, how could I not know that she jumped over the wall to come in?
Li Xiang thought of her daughter who used to be very well-behaved and obedient, but now she had a falling out with her family and jumped over the wall when she came home late at night. She couldn't help but want to go up and say a few words.
"Yue'er, why did you come back so late? A girl's reputation is the most important thing. If others knew about this, who knows how they would criticize you behind your back."
"What good in-law family would want a girl with a bad reputation at that time?"
Through the door, Li Xiang's voice came into the room like a monk chanting.
Shen Siyue hid in the house to pack her basket. She didn't want to pay attention to her and let her stand outside in the cold wind.
Anyway, she is not cold. When she can't stand the cold anymore, she will go back to the house.
In the end, no one knew what was wrong with Li Xiang today. She kept talking non-stop at the door.
Suddenly, Shen Siyue opened the door with a clang.
She is not tired, but Shen Siyue is tired!
Now she just wanted to go out and get some firewood, add some fire to the kitchen, and heat up the kang, otherwise she would not be able to sleep at night.
Seeing the door open, Li Xiang thought that Shen Siyue had heard what she had just said, and her expression was very happy.
But Shen Siyue bypassed her and went straight to get firewood.
Shen Siyue knew clearly that people like Li Xiang were the kind who would take advantage of others and shine with a little sunshine.
If you pay attention to her, she will think that everything she says and does is right, and she will cling to you even more.
So now, Shen Siyue is implementing a policy of turning a blind eye to her.
Treat her as a transparent person.
Shen Siyue picked up a bundle of firewood and wanted to go back to the house, but before she could close the door, Li Xiang followed her into the house.
Shen Siyue: . . . . . .
Why is this person like a dog-skin plaster that can’t be gotten rid of?
“What on earth do you want to do?” Shen Siyue looked at her impatiently.
Li Xiang's face once again showed the kind of smile that made people want to beat her up: "Yue'er, I know you don't like me now, but no matter what, I am still your mother, and you are the flesh that fell from my body, I..."
Before she could finish, Shen Siyue interrupted her irritably: "If you still keep talking in circles, then go back to bed as soon as possible and don't force me to curse at you late at night."
After saying that, he ignored her, squatted down and started adding water to the pot and lighting the fire.
Li Xiang stood aside, feeling helpless about Shen Siyue's stubborn look.
She tried hard to persuade Shen Siyue to mend her ways: “Yue’er, you are still young, and you don’t understand many things. Mother is doing this for your own good!”
"Look at what you have done. Your grandma was so scared that she was paralyzed on the kang, and now she can't get up. This is your wedding day. Your grandma looks a bit like a human being now. Otherwise, I don't know if she could have held on until now?
"Your grandfather doesn't like you either, and I have to bear the brunt of your shame. You've beaten everyone in your grandfather's house, what else do you want?"
"Your father has shown you kindness by not hanging you from the beams of the house. Why don't you know how to be grateful?"
Shen Siyue raised her head and looked at Li Xiang, her words were full of disdain: "It's not that Shen Zhifu doesn't want to kill me, he just doesn't have the courage."
"Humph, he wants both the inside and the outside. If he really kills me, I'll still look up to him!"
Shen Siyue was particularly disdainful of Old Man Shen.
The badness of other members of the Shen family is only on the surface, but Old Man Shen's badness is mixed with some kind of family righteousness, love from elders, and so on.
I always want to pretend to be kind in front of outsiders.
Li Xiang was very dissatisfied with Shen Siyue’s attention to her father-in-law: “A woman follows the chicken when she marries a chicken, and follows the dog when she marries a dog. How can you say this about your grandfather?”
"When have I ever said anything bad about your father? This is your duty as a woman, do you know?"
Shen Siyue asked her with amusement after hearing this: “Then what did you get in return for keeping your duty for a lifetime?”
"Is it your parents-in-law's partiality? Or your husband's love? Or your sister-in-law and brother-in-law's respect for you?"
"Do you have anything you can show off?"
"Should I learn from you? Learn from you to be submissive? Learn from you to be timid? Learn from you to harm your own daughter? Learn from you to favor boys over girls? Learn from you to endure hunger and not be appreciated? Or learn from you to be beaten every day and never get enough?"
Li Xiang looked at Shen Siyue in disbelief: “You…when did you learn to be so sarcastic?”
Shen Siyue lowered her head and roasted the fire: “It’s all because of you.”
"Other mothers know how to think about their daughters, but I met a wimp who wants to sell me out to please others."
"If I wasn't more powerful, wouldn't you have to chew my bones and feed them to others after I died?"
Li Xiang burst into tears: "You are still holding a grudge against me for letting you marry Changgui, aren't you?"
"Why don't you think about your mother? I raised you with all my might, and I didn't find a cripple or a blind person for you. How could you still hold a grudge against me?"
"If you had been obedient and married Changgui, your aunt wouldn't have always disliked me, and Hongmei wouldn't have embarrassed herself so much in front of the whole village?"
Hearing Li Xiang talking about this, Shen Siyue touched her chin and looked at her.
At this moment, her heart was calm and she was not angry at all.
She actually wanted to see what Li Xiang, who was always trying to be mean, thought about the last time Shen Hongmei framed her.
Shen Siyue asked her directly: "You always said that it was for my own good, but Shen Hongmei wanted to make me lose my virginity, so you didn't seek justice for me?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xiang replied confidently: "Then it didn't work out, did it?"
"In the end, Hongmei and Changgui were the ones who lost face. Did you know that your aunt was punished by your grandfather to kneel for an entire night?"
"What else are you angry about?"
Shen Siyue continued to question her: “It didn’t work because I found out in advance. If I didn’t find out, but was bullied by Zhao Changgui, what would you do?”
Li Xiang was somewhat hesitant when asked by Shen Siyue: "What can I do? I am a woman, can I shut others up?"
"If you lose your innocence, I can only find you someone with worse conditions or some defects. I can't let you stay at home."
