Shen Qing hurried back home, and saw Miao holding a knife for chopping pork ribs, chasing after Old Lady Shen like crazy, looking really scary. The villagers said they were trying to stop her, but they didn't dare to get too close, because knives don't have eyes, and it's not worth it to hurt yourself for Old Lady Shen!
Only Second Aunt Lian was holding onto Miao's waist from behind. Otherwise, Old Lady Shen would have been caught up by Miao long ago: "Chunlei, Chunlei! You killed her and you still have to pay with your life. It's not worth it, it's really not worth it!"
It was the first time that Shen Qing saw Miao like this, and he felt extremely distressed. His mother had always been timid and cowardly. How could she be so cruel unless she was forced into a desperate situation?
He rushed forward and snatched the knife away, fearing that Miao would hurt herself: "Mom, calm down, I'm back! If there is anything, let's ask the village chief uncle to take charge. Uncle Zhang has already gone to the village chief's house to call for help. Don't be impulsive!"
Seeing Shen Qing, Miao finally let up her strength. She didn't know if she heard what Shen Qing said clearly. She sat on the ground and started crying loudly: "I have made room for that vixen, why won't the old Shen family let me go? They keep chasing me home and bullying me. They must force me to death..." Her sobbing voice made it seem as if she was the one being chased and hacked.
Shen Qing supported Miao, feeling heartbroken by her crying. He glared at Old Lady Shen with hatred.
Most of the time, this person sympathizes with the one who is in a more pitiful situation. And the impression he left on people in the past is now important. Who in the village doesn't know that Miao is a soft-tempered person? So even though it was Miao who raised the knife to chop people just now, people's hearts are biased towards her at this moment - not to mention that many people just bought cheap wild boar meat from their family. There is a saying that goes, "If you take someone's money, you will be grateful, and if you eat someone's money, you will be soft-hearted!"
"That's right. She was fine at home, but the old woman from the Shen family insisted on coming to her house. They've already divorced and the two families are in such a mess, why did she come to her house?"
"Well, you are just short-sighted and greedy for meat."
The experienced lady noticed something and said, "I think he is used to bullying others at home and wants to treat Qing'er's mother as his own daughter-in-law."
In this era, men are superior to women. Women and boys have always been driven and oppressed at home, inferior to men, and do not get much respect outside. If there is a little power, it is over children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law. Some people may be reluctant to give up their own children, but the daughter-in-law, an "outsider", is the most common way for mothers-in-law to show their power.
That’s why there’s a saying that “a hard-working daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law.” Once you become a mother-in-law, you naturally have power, and there will be new daughters-in-law to be driven and oppressed on your behalf. Only when you become someone who holds that little bit of power and can oppress others can you be considered to have survived.
The affairs of the old Shen family were no secret, and Li Jiaofeng was not someone who could be manipulated. It seemed that the east wind had overwhelmed the west wind in the old Shen family yard, and Li Jiaofeng had the upper hand. The west wind of Old Shen was depressed, so she came to the Miao family to make trouble, wanting to revisit the "power" of being a mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Miao's toughness today caused her to hit a hard wall again.
Old Lady Shen also fell to the ground, gasping for breath. After all, she was old and had been very tired these days. She was almost caught up by Miao just now, and she was so scared that her soul almost flew away. Now, listening to the discussions around her, someone pointed out her little thoughts that she herself had not figured out, even though she had never cared much about her face, her face turned red.
"Bah! Bah! What do you know? I'm his grandmother, and he should respect me no matter what! Why shouldn't he respect me?"
Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore: "Whose grandmother are you? You are Qing'er's grandmother, why don't you go find Qing'er? There are people watching you, you have been wandering around for a long time, and when you saw Qing'er leave the house, you came straight to the Miao girl. Who are you to the Miao girl? How dare you ask her for things!"
Shen Qing also had a dark face. Just as he was about to speak, a commotion came from the other end of the crowd: "Stop talking, everyone make way. The village chief is here!"
When Old Lady Shen heard that the village chief was coming, she seemed to have found her backbone. She lay down on the ground, rolled over and cried, "I can't live anymore. I'm so old and being hacked by a young man with a knife. I'm scared to death... I feel uncomfortable all over..."
Village chief Zhao heard her crying through the crowd. His forehead was throbbing. Just as he was about to say something, Aunt Guixiang next to him pulled him aside and rolled her eyes: I told you not to give orders blindly!
Village Chief Zhao swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue when his wife glared at him. Aunt Guixiang stepped forward and directly set the tone of the matter: "Aunt Shen, we can't live a good life, why are you looking for trouble?"
Old Lady Shen glared at her. Why was Wu Guixiang talking so biased? She was being chased and bullied like this, and she was the one who was looking for trouble? She was about to refute, but Aunt Guixiang didn't give her a chance to speak: "When Miao Chunlei divorced your Shen Zhigao, Qing'er also severed his relationship with your Shen family. It's clearly written in the document that Qing'er will only support Miao Chunlei in the future, and will have nothing to do with your Shen family. You're still trying to get close to others. If you're not looking for trouble, what are you doing?"
Aunt Guixiang didn't mention Miao's ambush at all: "Don't come to Qing'er's house if you have nothing to do, and don't come if you have something to do! You gave birth to two men, but the two pillars of the family don't want to do anything for you. What's the matter with you looking for a brother from the next generation?"
As expected of the village chief's daughter-in-law, she often deals with trivial matters at home. Before Mrs. Shen could even open her mouth, Aunt Guixiang blocked her everywhere.
Speaking of reason, Old Lady Shen is unreasonable, but if she were a reasonable person, she wouldn't be making a fuss here. She just stiffened her neck and said, "I didn't ask him to support me in my old age. It's just a piece of meat. He has such a big wild boar. What's wrong with giving me some? I'm his grandmother! Shouldn't he give me some?"
Aunt Guixiang was so angry that she laughed: "Why should he be yours? No matter how much he has, it has nothing to do with you! I tell you, if you, the Shen family, don't follow the document of severing the relationship and come to provoke Qing'er and his mother, don't say that Qing'er's mother will chase you and chop you to pieces. Even if she really chops you to pieces, that's it! It's more decent to divorce. If you don't want to be happy, just pretend you don't know each other and don't have any contact. If you have the leisure time, go and mess with your new daughter-in-law!"
She turned her head and looked at Shen Qing and Miao again. Miao had returned to her weak self that she disliked, her face covered with tears. It was hard to imagine how she picked up a knife and chased after Old Lady Shen. However, thinking of the pork leg that Shen Qing had just sent, Aunt Guixiang was patient enough to comfort and teach Miao: "If they come to see you again in the future, just come to my house! You don't have to take anything she says to heart or take it seriously!"
Old Lady Shen was so angry that her chest kept heaving. She glared at Aunt Guixiang angrily, then turned her gaze to Village Chief Zhao's face: "Youdang, I watched you grow up. You grew up with our Zhigao! Your wife is too biased. She doesn't take me, an old elder, into consideration at all. And you don't care about anything? How could you marry such a disrespectful person!"
When Zhao Youdang heard her mention this, his head got even bigger. If he had anything to regret recently, it was that he shouldn't have played with Shen Zhigao when he was a child! There were so many children in the village, why did he play with Shen Zhigao? He really wanted to slap himself a few times!
"You are always disrespectful to elders, but you don't even consider whether an elder like you is worthy of respect!" Aunt Guixiang sneered, "Don't get involved with our head of the family. He is biased towards your family. According to our village rules, it is written in black and white that Shen Zhigao and Li Jiaofeng committed adultery and had a child. The woman should be drowned in the pond, and the man should be beaten with forty boards and expelled from the village. You want my head of the family to stop being biased, or should we talk about this matter first?"
