Old man Shen groaned and slowly moved his body to lie down on the kang. He suddenly felt that he might be too hungry and it would be okay to skip breakfast.
Old man Shen could force himself to go hungry, but Shen Qiushu couldn’t help it!
He was also lying on the kang at this time, and raised his hand to greet Li Xiaoqin: "Wife, I'm very hungry, is there anything to eat at home?"
Li Xiaoqin looked at him and shook her head.
Cooking at home is always done in a meticulous manner, so how is it possible that there are leftovers?
Chen Chunshu's stomach was rumbling, and he said to Wang Huilian with a stern face: "What time is it, and you're still sitting there playing? Can you think of a way to get some food for us?"
Compared with the tone of Shen Qiushu's words to Li Xiaoqin, Shen Chunshu's attitude can be said to be extremely bad.
Wang Huilian replied angrily: "The pot at home is leaking, how do you want me to cook? Should I hold the rice under the fire and cook for you?"
Chen Chunshu was so angry at Wang Huilian's weirdness that the two of them started arguing loudly: "If there is no pot, can't you think of a way? Don't you have a basin? What can't you use to cook rice?"
Wang Huilian: "That's easy for you to say. Go check the dish rack and see if there's anything usable. That bastard smashed them all. If you want to eat, go find Lao Er's family. I have no other ideas."
This time, the eldest brother's family and the third brother and his wife all looked at Chen Xiashu and Li Xiang at the same time.
At this time, Chen Xiashu was back home, and he could finally let go of his worries. He felt relaxed and fell into a sleep in a daze.
Li Xiang stayed close to him the whole time, wiping her tears silently because she didn't dare to cry out loud.
He didn't even notice the gazes of the other two families.
Seeing that Li Xiang had no self-awareness at all, Wang Huilian could not help but sneer: "Second son's wife, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
"The family is in such a mess because of your precious girl. Now there is nothing to cook at home. Do you still want to hide behind and pretend to be dead?"
Sometimes Wang Huilian couldn't stand people like Li Xiang who were useless.
Li Xiaoqin, who was sitting next to her, turned her head and adjusted her hair. This time, she did not help Li Xiang out of the situation.
In fact, she felt a little resentful towards the second brother's family.
She had gone to great lengths to marry into the Shen family in the hope of living a good life!
But unexpectedly, after just one winter, the Shen family was left with no pot to cook with.
Life here is even worse than when she was at her parents' home.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have agreed to marry Chen Qiushu.
She lowered her head and looked at her rough hands, feeling a little regretful.
Li Xiang was called by Wang Huilian. She looked at Wang Huilian with red eyes: "Sister-in-law, the pot is broken, there is nothing I can do!"
Wang Huilian got angry when she saw Li Xiang's funny look: "You have no choice but to go look for your precious daughter?"
"She smashed our things and it was all in vain? Go and slap her twice. You are her biological mother, how can she hit you?"
"Besides, isn't she married to Shitou? Ask him to pay the bride price, and then you can go to their house to ask for it. If they don't give it to you, then you can just live in their house, and you can save food for the family."
"Also, look at what she has done to the second child. Where in the world can you find a girl like this? And you don't do anything about it?"
Wang Huilian's words really convinced Li Xiang.
The main reason was that she couldn't accept Chen Xiashu's current appearance.
His arms and legs were broken.
Although Liu Yushan has fixed it, there is no guarantee that it will grow back well.
If their hands and legs are disabled, how can they survive?
For a moment, Li Xiang’s resentment surged to the sky.
She wiped away her tears and stood up angrily.
"I'll go find that unfilial daughter and ask her to pay for her father's medical expenses."
After saying that, he turned and ran out of the house.
Wang Huilian watched Li Xiang leave the room before she could finish what she was saying!
She chased Li Xiang all the way to the gate of the courtyard and shouted to Li Xiang who was walking away quickly: "I want money, don't forget to ask for money!"
"If you don't have money, you can ask for some food. If all else fails, just pry open the pot from Shitou's house and carry it back~~~~"
Li Xiang, who was in a hurry to settle the account, didn't know whether she heard it or not, and didn't even turn her head.
Wang Huilian pouted at Li Xiang's back and said, "You'd better bring something back, or I'll kill you later! You're a bunch of unlucky people."
Wang Huilian returned to the room and saw three patients lying on the kang.
Two of them are the main laborers in the family.
For an average family, having one is enough, but they have three.
Wang Huilian felt so aggrieved.
Wouldn’t it be that the entire family would depend on the eldest wife from now on?
It's almost spring and time to go back to work, this is really adding insult to injury!
Over there, Chen Qiushu's head was lying on Li Xiaoqin's legs, humming all the time. Li Xiaoqin coaxed Chen Qiushu like a child and rubbed the wounds on his body. The two of them were so affectionate that Wang Huilian couldn't bear to watch.
She glanced at her husband and saw that he had his eyes closed and she didn't know whether he was asleep or not, so she reached out and poked him.
Chen Chunshu opened his eyes impatiently and glanced at her, then said unhappily: "What are you doing? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, fart quickly. I haven't slept all night. I'm so sleepy."
Originally, Wang Huilian wanted to discuss the current situation at home with her husband, but she didn't expect that before she could say anything, Shen Chunshu was annoyed with her!
Why do I get poorer and poorer as time goes by, but my temper keeps getting worse and worse?
Wang Huilian was so angry that her head was buzzing, and she really wanted to have a quarrel with Chen Chunshu without caring about anything else.
But the competitive spirit that belongs to women in her heart made her not want to show weakness in front of Li Xiaoqin.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and whisper to Shen Chunshu: "Come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Unexpectedly, Shen Chunshu turned his head and looked around on the kang, as if he was looking for something.
Wang Huilian asked him with some confusion: "What are you looking for?"
Chen Chunshu angrily scolded Wang Huilian: "What do you think I'm looking for? I'm looking for a broom knob and I'm going to use it to knock your skull open to see if there's shit inside?"
"Your man has been locked up for a whole day and night, and was beaten. He finally got home to lie down for a while, and you actually want me to go out with you at this time?"
"Is there something so serious that we have to talk about it now? Are you going to die? Or is the sky going to fall?"
"Open your eyes and see what the third daughter-in-law did. How come she is so old and doesn't know anything about human affairs?"
Wang Huilian was completely stunned by Shen Chunshu's scolding.
He just stood there in a daze, unable to utter a word.
She turned around and looked at the third brother and his wife as if she sensed something, and sure enough, Li Xiaoqin was staring at her and watching the fun!
In an instant, the burning shame on her old face engulfed her.
Wang Huilian didn't care that Chen Chunshu had just returned from Lamagou. She rushed towards Chen Chunshu with her teeth and claws bared, shouting: "I have spent most of my life with you, and you actually said that I am not as good as a newly married young wife. Do you still have a conscience?"
