On the way back to the village, Zhao Yinxiu couldn't shake off her unease. She tried to hold back but couldn't help herself. "Dafu, that girl Xiaozhu made so much money in one go, why didn't she think of our family? She actually brought back a bastard to raise. Isn't that just letting outsiders benefit?"
"That's right. I've been talking until my mouth is dry, but Xiaozhu hasn't said a hundred or two hundred yuan to me, her grandmother. From what I've heard, she not only wants to treat the child's illness, but also wants to support his schooling. That's going to cost so much money. She's such a spendthrift woman, just like her mother."
Grandma Lin and Zhao Yinxiu hit it off immediately. The two women walked and complained, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. They were so envious that they cried, so jealous that their mentality was about to explode, and they hated that little girl Lin Xiazhu for not sharing any money with them.
After listening to half an hour of nagging, Lin Shanfu's scalp tingled, and he finally snapped, "What's all the noise about? It was agreed that the eldest and second wives would have nothing to do with each other. That was made clear when the family was divided. No matter how rich the eldest wife is, she belongs to the eldest wife. And it's none of our business if the second wife is rich."
Why are you always eyeing other people's things? Xiaozhu is capable; she's naturally strong, able to carry wild boars and climb deep mountains. She has the courage to go into the mountains and face ferocious beasts head-on. That's her skill, and she deserves to earn a lot of money. You're all envious; if you're so capable, go into the mountains yourselves!"
As the head of the family, Lin Shanfu's words carried considerable weight, and the two women who had been cursing him all the way dared not utter another word.
"From now on, no one is allowed to mention Xiaozhu's 50,000 yuan again. When you go back to the village, you must keep your mouth shut and don't let me hear anyone gossiping behind your back." After saying this, he saw that the two women did not react.
Lin Shanfu shouted again, "Did you hear me?"
"We heard you," the two women replied listlessly, like wilted eggplants.
