Chapter 182
“I…you…”
Cheng didn't dare to order this little ancestor to do any work. Everyone knew that the most precious thing in the Cheng family was this jewel in the crown who was born in old age. If she cried, no matter what, everyone in the family would take turns to teach her a lesson.
She usually tries to hide whenever possible, to prevent this little ancestor from causing trouble and implicating herself.
Cheng Jiaojiao continued to eat melon seeds. Seeing Cheng's drooping eyebrows and a cowardly look, she suddenly became malicious and continued to throw the melon seed shells onto the ground, leaving a dense pile of them.
Cheng sighed and had to follow and clean up.
However, after waiting for a long time, Mr. Cheng found that the water tank was still empty and could not help it.
"Fuyou's wife, what's going on? I've been asking you to fetch water for so long, but where's the water? Do you think you want an old man like me to fetch water?"
Cheng was about to answer, but Cheng Jiaojiao jumped up first, not forgetting to give Cheng a malicious smile.
She opened the curtain and ran to the kitchen: "Dad, how can I let you work? I'll go get some water. I think my sister-in-law is too sleepy and forgot."
Old Man Cheng looked at his usually unruly and headstrong little daughter, and he suddenly felt sorry for himself. He was even more dissatisfied with his lazy eldest daughter-in-law: "Jiaojiao, how can I let you do these rough jobs? When your mother was alive, I never let you enter the kitchen. Get out now, you little heart is hurting your hands."
He yelled again, "Eldest daughter-in-law? Where are you? How could you let your younger sister do the work? She's so young! The water tank is so heavy, and it's dark. What if she falls?"
Cheng looked at the gate of the courtyard. The other two strong men were chatting and laughing, drinking and singing, their faces red and necks thick from drinking. However, their eyes were clear, and they turned a blind eye to everything that was happening. She couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth.
Cheng Jiaojiao is about the same age as herself, and the Cheng family always treats her like glass. The other two usually don't do anything all day, just lie there with their mouths open, waiting to be eaten.
Moreover, she has to bring it to her mouth personally!
She had to marry into such a family, and she had no way to say anything. Cheng lowered her head, thinking that this was her fate. She thought that she and Cheng Da had once been in love with each other, but unexpectedly, Cheng Da's true colors gradually showed up as soon as she married into the Cheng family.
Zhenzhen is even lazier than a domestic pig, with a fat head and big ears, and snores like thunder. Apart from looking like a human, he stinks of alcohol and spends his days either lying down or sitting.
As for Old Man Cheng, he is even more hypocritical.
Before she married Cheng Da, old man Cheng always called her his own daughter and said he would treat her better than his own daughter. As a result, the father and son looked exactly like each other.
Old Man Cheng likes to make noodles. He will cook whenever he feels like it. Others are envious of her when they see her, envious that she has a hardworking father-in-law.
Only she herself knew that these were just superficial efforts. Old Man Cheng liked to make pasta, but he had a lot of bad habits. For example, when he was making dumplings this time, he wanted her to bring water and pick vegetables, and he called her seven times in 10 minutes.
Every time I finish cooking, after a group of people finish their meal and throw away their dishes, I have to wait for them to clean up the mess.
By making a meal of noodles, Old Man Cheng gained a reputation outside, but I was the one who worked so hard but got nothing in return.
"Wife?" In the brief moment of distraction, Old Man Cheng yelled again at the top of his voice, "What are you doing? I told you to fetch water, but you're pretending to be deaf and dumb again."
"I work hard every day to cook for you, and you still want me to fetch water?"
His old habit of nagging came back, and he wanted to talk for three days and three nights. He would also go back and chat with his old friends, belittling Cheng as worthless and being as lazy as he could be.
The two men listened with impatience. Cheng Da's face flushed red as he shouted, "Didn't you hear the old man yelling? Are you dead? Go get some water!"
Cheng wiped her rough hands on her apron and hurriedly replied, "Dad, I'll be right there."
She was afraid that if she was a step slower, her husband and father-in-law would scold her for being lazy, so she dropped the broom and dustpan in her hands and prepared to go outside the yard to fetch water.
However, as soon as she opened the gate, she was stunned.
There were several unfamiliar faces standing at the door. The two men and one woman standing in the front had first-class looks and temperament. At least she had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life.
She has an oval face, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and especially her waist, which is so thin that it can be grasped with one hand.
"Who are you?" Her intuition told her something was wrong.
After Cheng Er returned home, these strangers suddenly came to his door. They were not dressed like farmers who made a living from the soil. Cheng looked at them warily and counted them in his mind. There were about eight or nine people.
Moreover, except for the three leaders who had relatively friendly expressions, the others seemed to be here to call for an explanation.
Zhong Qiao smiled politely, but his eyes were as cold as ice: "We are looking for Uncle Cheng and Cheng Fugui, Cheng Fuyou."
Cheng was a little hesitant.
So many people came in the middle of the night, and it turned out that they were all looking for her father-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law. As a woman, she had never seen such a scene before, and she couldn't make up her mind for a while, not knowing whether to go in and inform them.
Cheng was about to reply when suddenly, a familiar figure flashed by. She saw clearly in the moonlight that it was Widow Jin.
And just yesterday, several men in her family were very wild. They got drunk and took advantage of the fact that Widow Jin had no men to support her family, so they smashed her house. It was obvious that they were here to settle a score!
Cheng was no fool. Her face turned pale and she was about to close the door, not forgetting to say, "You've got the wrong door. They're not home."
"Hey, don't close the door yet."
"Whether he's there or not, won't we know for sure if you don't show us?"
Luo Xiu was quick to stop them and pushed the door open with his leg. Others came over like a dark cloud, their faces terribly gloomy.
"You, you." A woman from the Cheng family was terrified and quickly retreated. "What do you want to do?"
Zhong Qiao and the others did not answer. Her mental defenses were completely broken. She turned around and ran behind her, almost crawling.
The two brothers of the Cheng family haven't seen each other for more than half a year. At this moment, they are drinking and talking happily, talking about the hardships they suffered since separation. The two of them were acting out a drama and almost moved themselves to tears.
Cheng Dagang was about to put his brewing emotions into words when he was knocked over by Cheng who rushed towards him. Both the stool and the bowl fell to the ground, and he grimaced in pain.
He slapped her and said, "Did you see a ghost in the middle of the night? Why are you running away?"
"No, no, no." Cheng was slapped, still in a daze. "It's scarier than a ghost. It's Widow Jin who's come to seek revenge."
"What?" Cheng Fugui was stunned. "Widow Jin is looking for revenge on me? Sister-in-law, are you crazy because of the loss?"
Jingui was such a coward that when she met him she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she was scared out of her wits.
Her husband had been dead for years, and she had no one to back her up. There was only an old immortal and a young immortal, and he could kick either of them away with one kick. And she dared to come and seek revenge? I've never seen anything like this before.
