"Auntie Song, you misunderstood. My mother-in-law was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously?"
Ye Aixia suddenly came forward and spoke for her mother-in-law.
She had a gentle smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
When Qin Zhaodi heard her daughter-in-law's words, she was delighted and her complexion instantly improved a little.
She glanced at Aunt Song with pride and thought:
Humph, my daughter-in-law is the one who knows how to talk!
After marrying her home as a daughter-in-law, she finally came in handy at a critical moment.
However, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jiang family frowned.
They both heard the deeper meaning in each other's words. It was not only to help Qin Zhaodi out of trouble, but also to hint at something.
Song Yue sneered in her heart. This woman's words really meant something with a double meaning...
When ordinary people hear this, they will let the other party go for the sake of face.
However, her face is not so easy to be trampled upon!
"Even if I took it seriously, so what? As the wife of a captain, she doesn't think about uniting the villagers all day long, but always does small things behind the scenes. It's really a loss of face.
Speaking of this, I feel sympathy for the captain. He married a troublesome wife. Not only did he lose money, but he also lost face. Tsk tsk~"
"Oh, Fangfang, Duoduo, Tangtang, you just married into our Hanshan Village and have never left the house, so naturally you don't know the inside story.
This is the captain’s son, the new wife of Wangjing’s boy, Ye Aixia, Ye Zhiqing~”
"I don't recommend you to associate with this person. Don't let him teach you bad things, understand?"
"I know, Mom~"
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Yeah, mom is right. We don't want to learn bad things yet."
The three sisters-in-law cooperated with their mother-in-law obediently, and verbally attacked the other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with venomous intent.
This was the first time that the Jiang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got together in front of outsiders, and the tacit understanding they showed made other villagers envious.
"You, you guys—"
Qin Zhaodi was furious. This Widow Song dared to say anything. It was difficult enough to deal with her alone, and now there were three more daughters-in-law trained by Widow Song, making it even more difficult!
"What do you mean by 'I'? If you can't win the argument, don't say anything. If you don't accept it, let's fight!"
Song Yue said proudly, it’s a pity that she has no sleeves, otherwise she would roll them up and start a fight!
fight?
The onlookers were all excited and enjoyed the show so much that they didn’t mind the excitement!
But they knew that Widow Song's third daughter-in-law was as strong as three strong men!
With this punch and kick, Qin Zhaodi and her mother-in-law would have to fly several meters away, right?
"Ahem, ahem, stop it!"
The good show that was about to begin came to an abrupt end with the arrival of the captain.
"The men followed my instructions and went into the water, while the women helped pull the water chestnuts and separate the water chestnuts from the stems.
We will send the water chestnuts to the town commune to exchange for salt, so that every household can get a share of the salt.
Each family will be given five pounds of vegetable stalks. If there are any more, please don't be offended if there are any less. I will give you more salt when the time comes."
When Jiang Jianguo said this, he winked at his wife with a strong warning tone.
Su Miantang saw clearly that this team leader was a bully at home.
I don't know how much real talent he has, but he is really good at smoothing things over.
Ye Aixia had just married into the Jiang family not long ago, but she also knew clearly that the Jiang family was a place where her father-in-law had the final say.
At this time, she pulled her mother-in-law's arm, indicating that her mother-in-law should put the overall situation first.
If they embarrass their father-in-law in front of others, then when they get home, their father-in-law will have to...
Qin Zhaodi looked unhappy. She didn't dare to anger the head of the household, so she could only glare at Widow Song and the other two angrily.
Humph, they have a long way to go!
Song Yue glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with contempt. What a bunch of cowards! And they still wanted to fight with her?
Believe it or not, she let her and her bestie kick each other and send them to grandma's house!
"Mom, the juice of water chestnuts will stain your fingers, which is not good. My second brother and sister-in-law and I are used to doing housework, so it won't be a problem. You and your third brother and sister-in-law can just rest under this tree."
Lin Fangfang persuaded her that she and her second brother's wife did housework every day, so it didn't matter whether it was dyed or not, but her third brother's wife worked as a translator, so it would be better for her not to touch such things.
Not to mention my mother, such a good mother-in-law should be worshipped.
"That's not good."
Song Yue said this in a pretentious manner, and when the other women saw this, they all wanted to scold her for pretending.
......
Su Miantang felt several eyes on her, but it didn't matter. Let them look at her as they pleased, it wouldn't hurt her.
By the way, this lotus pond is really big. It’s not the season for digging lotus roots yet. If we could dig lotus roots, it would definitely be more lively.
It is lively now, and 50% of the men in the village have gone to the lotus pond.
Someone caught a fish but had to release it.
The plan for this afternoon is to pick water chestnuts, and nothing else can be touched.
If you get involved, everything will be in chaos. You will be the outcast in the whole village and no one dares to take the initiative.
Every December, the team leader would give an order and call the villagers to dig lotus roots and catch fish. At that time, the fish would be distributed according to each household in the village.
It’s almost the end of June now, so we only need to wait less than half a year!
"One, two, three, four~"
"Hey hey~"
A series of neat and powerful calls rang out, and the men worked together to pull the water chestnuts. Some of them pulled hard, while others cheered them on.
The water and the shore were filled with people, forming three layers of dense crowds.
Everyone helps each other and gives full play to the advantage of strength in numbers.
Large fields of water chestnuts were successfully pulled ashore and dragged to the open space.
