"Why should I fall down? I'm pregnant now. I'm pregnant with your Song family's grandson." Zheng Li's tone was full of sarcasm.
Wei Meihua, who knew she couldn't get Zheng Li to come out, looked apologetic, but the look didn't show. She said to Xiulan, "I'm sorry, Xiulan, you know what Zheng Li is like. Your mother has become less and less influential in the family. Bring Changlei into the house and sit down while I cook a good meal."
"I understand, Mom." Song Xiulan glared at Zheng Li. It was this troublemaker who not only occupied her room at home, but also bullied her family.
Sun Changlei was not in a good mood towards Zheng Li either. The captain's family had always been at odds with the Zheng family. Xiulan's brother married Zheng Li home, which made his mother angry for a long time.
"What are you so proud of?" Zheng Li complained.
Her eldest sister's target was the eldest brother of Sun Changlei, the team leader's family, but unfortunately he never took the bait, so she had to settle for the second best and married someone from another village.
Song Xiulan and her husband came into the house and sat on chairs, while the other three men from the eldest branch of the Song family sat aside motionless. Compared with Jiang Baizhou from the second branch next door, they looked down upon their son-in-law Sun Changlei more and more.
After so many things happened, if Sun Changlei still didn't know that he was once a big victim and was not liked by the Song family, then he was a fool. Since he came in and called people, he refused to say a word.
The one who suffered the most was Song Xiulan. She couldn't understand how her family had changed so much in just half a year. She had a scheming mother, a father who ignored her, and two younger brothers. Song Chengjiu was hooked by Zheng Li and didn't acknowledge her as his sister at all, and Song Dongchang didn't even look at her.
Song Xiulan: What on earth is going on?
On the other hand, the second room was laughing and joking, and their cheerful laughter could even be heard from their side. In comparison, didn't Song Xiulan lose?
In the kitchen, Wei Meihua occupied the kitchen, and her movements were slow, which made Zhao Qiuqin's eyes twitch. But they had agreed at the beginning that who would cook first every month, and this month it was the eldest family's turn to cook first.
"Fortunately, I processed the pork elbow yesterday. It won't take much time to stew it directly. Otherwise, we don't know when we can have our meal today. The eldest family is too slow." Zhao Qiuqin, who turned a blind eye and was innocent in her heart, came back to complain to her daughter.
This was exactly what Song Jiayu wanted. She said, "Mom, why don't we move out of the old house? And ask the eldest family if they want to buy this house. If they don't, we'll lock it up here and buy a yard in the village to live in. Then you'll have enough space in the kitchen."
When Zhao Qiuqin heard about the request for money, she shook her head: "That won't do. No way."
Song Tianshun, who had been instigated to rebel, said, "Mom, just think of it as me borrowing it from my sister. I'll return it to her when I graduate from school and get a job."
She was a little tempted, but it's not easy for poor people to change their minds. Zhao Qiuqin still said, "The old house is nice to live in. When you make money in the future, you'll have many things to spend it on. Besides, is that your sister's money? And your brother-in-law's too."
Jiang Baizhou interrupted at the right time: "Mom, Jiayu is worried that you are being bullied in the old house. Chengjiu's wife, Comrade Zheng Li, just threatened Jiayu in our house that she would give her some benefits. Jiayu didn't tell you about this because she was afraid you would worry."
At this time, Song Jiayu looked at the handkerchief handed to her by the slender fingers, understood what Jiang Baizhou meant, and immediately covered her eyes with the handkerchief and pretended to cry twice. Her life was too good now, and she couldn't cry even if she wanted to, so she could only lean on Jiang Baizhou's shoulder and pretend to cry.
"Jia Yu, is what Bai Zhou said true?" Zhao Qiuqin immediately stood up and asked in a trembling voice.
Song Jiayu didn't dare to look up and said "hmm" in a crying voice.
She would rather suffer herself than let her daughter suffer. Zhao Qiuqin was able to split the family for the sake of her daughter's marriage, so she can naturally consider her daughter now.
"Jiayu, don't cry. Your dad and I are moving. Even if we move, where can we move to? And as for Zheng Li, I'm going to settle accounts with her!"
If Comrade Zhao Qiuqin were to go and settle the score, wouldn't that be giving them something to hold against her?
When the time comes and she lies on the ground, people will say that something is wrong even if nothing is wrong. If it is made public, everyone will only sympathize with Zheng Li who is pregnant at the moment.
My parents’ reputation in Lushan Village will be ruined, and their lives will be difficult in the future.
The people in the village are the most simple and honest, but they are also the best at ganging up on others and bullying others.
"Mom, Zheng Li is pregnant. Go and settle the score with her. If she's a little cruel and aborts the baby herself and puts the blame on you, then you'll be owed a life!"
After hearing what her daughter said, Zhao Qiuqin hesitated and asked, "Is there anyone who would be so cruel to me?"
"Mom, would we ordinary people do something like having an affair without a matchmaker?" Song Jiayu reminded her that there are many old rules to follow in this era.
Zhao Qiuqin was a little scared and nodded quickly, "I will stay away from Zheng Li and Song Demin from now on. You too."
Song Demin nodded honestly after being called.
Song Jiayu, who was still pretending to cry, secretly gave Jiang Baizhou a thumbs up and whispered in his ear: "You are worthy of being Brother Baizhou~"
His ears felt like they were burning, and the skin in that area was burning hot. Jiang Baizhou remained calm and whispered, "You will have your own way. If you want to thank me, why don't you go back and promise me a favor?"
"Okay, don't mention one, even if it's a hundred, I'll do it for you."
The couple joked with each other.
For lunch, there were no other meat dishes in the eldest room except the cured chicken brought by Sun Changlei.
As for the second house, the big pork elbow that they couldn't bear to eat during the Chinese New Year was left for today. There were three plates of meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes on the table. Although it was a late meal, Zhao Qiuqin's cooking skills were very good. Song Demin brought Song Tianshun and Jiang Baizhou to drink a few glasses of wine.
While they were not paying attention, fourteen-year-old Song Beiwang secretly poured himself a glass of wine. As soon as he drank it, it burned his throat. He coughed several times and looked suspiciously at his father and others who were drinking their wine without changing their expressions.
Zhao Qiuqin cleared up her youngest son's confusion: "You are still young. When you grow up, you will know how delicious wine is."
Song Beiwang, who has a rebellious streak, said, "I don't need to grow up to drink well."
After saying that, he poured a glass of wine into his mouth and swallowed it.
In just a few seconds, the rebellious boy's face looked as if it had been painted with rouge.
Not only was his head dizzy, but he also always thought he was a monkey, no, the Monkey King, omnipotent. He opened his mouth and shouted at Zhao Qiuqin: "Monster, where are you going!"
Song Jiayu felt that it was worth it not to stop Beiwang from drinking.
Hahahaha, she lay on Jiang Baizhou's shoulder, holding back her laughter, but like a panda hiding from the rain, she protected her head but not her tail. Didn't her shaking shoulders show that she was laughing?
