Wang Huilian covered her chest with tears in her eyes: "I was beaten, and you still blame me?"
Chen Chunshu scolded, "If you hadn't been whining all the time, would they have fought? If they hadn't fought, would you have been beaten? You asked for it."
"Can you please be quiet for a bit? You have lived for half of your life, but why are you going backwards? I have been eating all these years of food for nothing."
"If you can't sleep, go out and get some cold air. It will wake your brain up and prevent you from causing any trouble in the house."
After Chen Chunshu finished cursing, he turned around and lay down, ignoring Wang Huilian.
This old woman becomes more and more excited the more she talks, and the more things she has to say. Just ignore her.
Wang Huilian turned around to look at Shen Limin.
Shen Limin also knew that he was wrong just now, but he didn't want to admit his mistake in front of Shen Weimin, so he simply pulled up the quilt and covered himself with it.
Seeing her son like this, Wang Huilian wanted to scold him but she didn't dare. She could only sit on the kang and wipe her tears in grievance.
After a long time, no one came to comfort me, so I could only lie down and sleep reluctantly.
The next morning, outhouse.
The three sisters-in-law gathered together to prepare dinner.
Before Li Xiaoqin got married, Wang Huilian pushed all the cooking tasks to Li Xiang.
I can be considered to have enjoyed the blessing of being a mother-in-law in advance.
But since Li Xiaoqin got married, Wang Huilian would come to the stove every time she cooked in order to show her sister-in-law's kindness.
She didn't do much work. She just talked and directed her two sisters-in-law to do this and that.
At the beginning, Li Xiaoqin had just arrived and had not yet figured out the situation of the Shen family, so she was very cautious in everything she did.
Wang Huilian is the eldest sister-in-law, and Li Xiang is a soft persimmon, so of course she has to listen to Wang Huilian, and the three of them are quite harmonious.
But now, Li Xiaoqin wanted to suppress Wang Huilian, so no matter what Wang Huilian said while cooking, she pretended not to hear it.
Wang Huilian asked her to get firewood, but she insisted on washing the pot first.
Wang Huilian asked her to boil water first, but she insisted on cooking porridge first.
He blatantly ignored her words, leaving Wang Huilian so angry that she could only stare blankly.
After Li Xiang thought it through last time, although she still disagreed with Li Xiaoqin's approach, she would not help Wang Huilian openly.
In the outer room, three women, with two different thoughts, cooked a meal on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.
After the family finally finished their meal, Li Xiaoqin and Li Xiang put the dishes on the stove. Just as Li Xiang was about to add some more water to the pot to wash the dishes, she was stopped by Li Xiaoqin in the house.
"Second sister-in-law, since we don't have anything else to do today, can you take me to a family in the village who is good at drawing shoes and borrow a pair of shoes?"
After saying this, she also deliberately said to Wang Huilian in front of everyone in the Shen family: "Today, please trouble sister-in-law to wash the dishes. I want to make a pair of shoes for Dad and Qiu Shu before the New Year."
Li Xiaoqin's excuse was very plausible, and she thought Wang Huilian would not be able to refuse!
Unexpectedly, Wang Huilian said casually, "Why don't you two finish brushing your teeth first? It's so early now, and other people haven't finished their meals yet, right? If you go too early, people might talk behind your back."
The villagers particularly dislike visiting other people's homes at dinner time.
People from Northeast China have a habit of asking each other when they meet: Have you eaten?
So going to someone else's house at dinner time will put the host in an awkward position.
You said I was being polite and asked you to eat more, but there is not much food at home now, and it is not enough for ourselves, so how can we add more bowls and chopsticks for others?
If I don't give in to you, it would seem inhumane.
Li Xiaoqin: ...
Wang Huilian's words made Li Xiaoqin's face suddenly stiffen.
She didn't expect Wang Huilian to be so shameless.
But she quickly thought of a way to fight back: "Okay, I'll wash the dishes, and I'll ask my sister-in-law to borrow a model and make a pair of shoes for Dad! I'm just worried that I can't make it well, and it will be a waste of money!"
Wang Huilian: ......
This time it was Wang Huilian's turn to feel uncomfortable.
Why is the third son’s wife so cunning?
Is it so easy to make shoes?
You need to sew the soles, make the paste, and prepare the cloth.
Now it's winter again, so we have to make cotton-padded shoes and stuff them with some cotton.
She couldn't bear to do that.
Her two sons don’t have new cotton shoes to wear yet!
The reason why the third daughter-in-law wanted to make shoes for Old Man Shen was because she had just married and wanted to please her father-in-law.
That's how she got here in the first place.
But now she didn't bother to compete with Li Xiaoqin, so she just put things in.
Wang Huilian pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, how can I steal the filial piety of my third brother's wife? You two go quickly, I will clean up the floor in the outer room."
Li Xiaoqin smiled smugly when she heard her say that: "Then my second sister-in-law and I will be lazy today, please trouble my eldest sister-in-law to clean up."
These words sounded like they were thanking Wang Huilian, but they also implicitly pointed out that she didn't work on a regular basis.
So Wang Huilian felt strange when she heard this, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she just nodded.
Chen Chunshu looked at the third son's young wife and felt emotional. He didn't expect that although she looked young, she was so smart.
Compared to that stupid woman in my family, she is indeed much better.
With just one sentence, Li was setting a trap for his idiot, and she could only nod her head stupidly.
After defeating Wang Huilian, Li Xiaoqin happily took Li Xiang's hand, and the two of them left the Shen family easily.
Li Xiang looked back at the Shen family's front door and whispered to Li Xiaoqin, "This is the first time I've asked my sister-in-law to clean the stove!"
When Yue'er was obedient in the past, she was the one who did all the chores around the stove after dinner.
Later, when Yue'er got stubborn, she cleaned up the mess herself.
Sister-in-law and Hongmei just get involved occasionally to help out.
Li Xiaoqin looked at her proudly: "We are all daughters-in-law of the Shen family, why is she the only one who doesn't work? She supervises us working like an old woman every day, who does she think she is?"
"You were too obedient before. You didn't say anything when she bullied you, so you let her boss you around, didn't you?"
Li Xiang smiled innocently: "I am stupid, she is my sister-in-law, so I think it is right to listen to her."
Li Xiaoqin: "You should listen to me from now on. I am just soft-hearted and can't bear to see you being bullied. Otherwise, why would I fight with her?"
Li Xiang wanted to give it to her after hearing this: "Xiao Qin, you are such a good person. Don't worry, if you need me in the future, just tell me."
Li Xiang's words really touched Li Xiaoqin's heart.
She smiled and pulled Li Xiang's arm: "It's a deal. When I need your help in the future, you can't refuse."
Li Xiang patted her hands and assured her, "That's for sure. You've been so good to me, I will definitely be good to you too."
At this moment, Li Xiaoqin felt happy that she was about to achieve her goal.
Li Xiang also thought that the third brother's wife was a great one.
The smiles they gave each other were sincere.
