Li Wenxiu then realized that her mother-in-law was such a weak and easily bullied person.
When Qiao Guilan asked her to cook dinner again that evening, Li Wenxiu simply refused to do it.
Qiao Guilan scolded her angrily, putting on airs as a mother-in-law, but Li Wenxiu showed even stronger temper and lost her temper, which startled Qiao Guilan.
In the first round of the contest between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Li Wenxiu emerged victorious.
Privately, following Tang Suxiang's instructions, Li Wenxiu went to Song Baogen and cried, saying that her mother-in-law was tormenting her and making trouble for her.
Song Baogen knew that his mother had said behind his back that he should discipline his wife properly. He didn't want his mother and wife to have a conflict, so he scolded his mother and told her not to make things difficult for his wife.
Qiao Guilan cried in front of her son, feeling wronged.
For the next two days, Qiao Guilan was unable to get out of bed. She kept complaining of pain here and there, and asked her daughter-in-law to bring in food to feed her.
Song Erzhuang went out to work during the day.
The two women in the family began a power struggle.
Song Baogen asked Li Wenxiu to bring the food into the house, and Li Wenxiu ate by herself.
“If your mother is sick, then she should rest well and come out to eat by herself when she is feeling better.”
"How dare you talk like that?" Song Baogen said, displeased. "That's my mother!"
Hearing the two arguing from inside the house, Qiao Guilan weakly called out, "Baogen, your wife doesn't care whether Mom lives or dies. Mom won't eat anymore. Don't make things difficult for me. For you two, Mom can endure any grievance."
"Perfect, I didn't make your mother's portion either!" After finishing her meal, Li Wenxiu took the remaining food and gave it to the pigs.
While her son and son were away from home, Qiao Guilan secretly went out for a meal, only to find that both pots in the house were empty and there was nothing to eat.
For two days in a row, Qiao Guilan was so hungry that she almost collapsed.
She first cried to her son, saying that her daughter-in-law was abusing her, then she cried to her husband, saying that her daughter-in-law was abusing her.
Tang Suxiang and her husband privately advised Song Erzhuang that since the girl had married into the family, he should treat her well and not act like a wicked mother-in-law, tormenting his daughter-in-law and affecting his and his wife's lives.
The son is the one who suffers the most when his daughter-in-law is driven away by his persistence.
Influenced by these words, Song Erzhuang advised Qiao Guilan not to make trouble unreasonably.
Song Baogen was also influenced by Li Wenxiu's pillow talk.
Neither the father nor the son paid any attention to Qiao Guilan, and even spoke up for Li Wenxiu.
Finally, Qiao Guilan was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore and obediently got up to eat.
Li Wenxiu poured all the food into her and Song Baogen's bowls. "Mom, I didn't know you wanted to eat too. I didn't make your portion. If you want to eat, make it yourself."
Song Baogen got angry, "Mom, I'm full, you're going to eat this..."
Li Wenxiu brought Song Baogen's rice bowl over, saying, "You're full, so don't eat anymore. Give it to me; I don't have enough to eat!"
"Li Wenxiu, what's your attitude towards my mother?" Song Baogen was annoyed.
Li Wenxiu sat there eating, ignoring Song Baogen.
Song Baogen was so angry that he lost his temper, but Li Wenxiu ignored him, didn't respond, and didn't answer, treating him like he wasn't there.
This trick was taught to me by Qiu Xue when we were at my great-uncle's house. She said it could cure her second brother.
Song Baogen couldn't stand being ignored. Seeing Li Wenxiu's nonchalant attitude, he angrily snatched the rice bowl from in front of her and smashed it on the ground.
"Did you hear me?" Song Baogen roared furiously, "Stop eating!"
"Fine, I won't eat then!" Li Wenxiu angrily overturned the table.
Song Baogen was shocked to see Li Wenxiu acting so irrationally, and finally couldn't bear it any longer and slapped her.
Li Wenxiu rushed forward and fought with Song Baogen.
Qiu Xue, her great-uncle's family, and her husband's aunt all gave her advice on how to deal with her mother-in-law and control her husband so that she wouldn't be bullied in the future.
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!" Qiao Guilan cried out in distress when she saw that her son's face was scratched.
In this round, Li Wenxiu won again, and Qiao Guilan suffered a complete defeat.
The neighbors could hear Song Baogen and Li Wenxiu arguing.
That night, Qiao Guilan sharpened her sickle on an empty stomach, and the next day she helped her sister-in-law's family harvest rice.
She told her sister-in-law that her daughter-in-law was ugly, had a bad temper, bullied her, and even injured her son.
"Guilan, your daughter-in-law has just moved in. How can she bully you, her mother-in-law? Don't make things difficult for her or sow discord between Baogen and his wife. When you get old, you'll still have to rely on your daughter-in-law to take care of you," Tang Suxiang advised. "If you make things difficult for your daughter-in-law now, she'll take the opportunity to get revenge on you when you're old!"
Qiao Guilan was scared.
She ran over to help her sister-in-law harvest rice. When she went home for lunch, she asked her son Baogen to go to the foot of the mountain and call Song Yinhua and her sister back to their own field to harvest rice.
“I’m not going. You help your uncle’s family harvest rice, and let your older sister and Cai Xing harvest your own rice.” Song Baogen disagreed with Qiao Guilan always helping other people’s families and pushing her own work onto her daughter.
"Mom, I'm going!" Li Wenxiu was determined to go against her husband until he agreed to sever ties with Song Yinhua.
He won't be able to live a peaceful life until he agrees.
The young couple got into a competition.
Song Yinhua was soaking wheat seeds and tidying up the vegetable garden in the yard.
Li Wenxiu stood outside the courtyard gate and called out to her, telling her to go home for the busy farming season.
"Wenxiu, come in and have a seat!"
"No, I've already relayed Mom's words to you. I'm leaving." Li Wenxiu had slept in the same room with Song Qiuxue all night and heard a lot about her from Song Qiuxue. In addition, the fortune teller said that she was a jinx reincarnated, had little affinity with her relatives, and would live a life of poverty and die alone. Li Wenxiu wanted even less to have anything to do with her.
If it weren't for the busy farming season at home, they wouldn't have come to her.
"Wenxiu, do you have a problem with me?" Song Yinhua asked.
In her previous life, after Li Wenxiu married her younger brother Baogen, she forbade Baogen from getting close to her. Even if they met to greet each other or chat for a few words, Li Wenxiu would deliberately make things very loud.
She thought that Li Wenxiu disliked her returning to her parents' home and was afraid that her mother, Qiao Guilan, would secretly help her, which was why she was so hostile towards her.
Throughout her life, she never borrowed a single penny from her mother, and even moved to live at the foot of the mountain with Cai Xing, yet Li Wenxiu still harbored great hostility towards her.
Li Wenxiu wasn't like this before.
Something's definitely up here.
"No, sister, you're being too sensitive." Li Wenxiu gave a fake smile and turned to leave.
When Song Yinhua returned home, she learned that her mother, Qiao Guilan, had gone to work for someone else again.
She asked Qiao Guilan to go home, but Qiao Guilan refused.
Song Yinhua turned and left.
"If you don't go home to harvest rice, I won't either."
Qiao Guilan angrily scolded Song Yinhua, "If you don't harvest, you let Cai Xing go to the field to harvest. Where is Cai Xing?"
"Cai Xing went to town," Song Yinhua said before leaving.
"Yinhua! Yinhua..." Qiao Guilan was furious when she saw that her eldest daughter had really left. When she saw her sister-in-law coming over with her granddaughter, she complained to her, "Yinhua is such an unfilial daughter. I asked her to go home and help harvest rice, but she threw a tantrum at me and wouldn't let me help your family harvest rice. This unfilial daughter is so cold-blooded."
Where is Cai Xing?
"Cai Xing went to town."
At this moment, inside the cave on the back mountain.
Song Caixing was lying beneath Xie Daguang...
