Old Mrs. Lu cooked a pot of rice, cut ten thin slices of bacon on top and stewed them together. After fifteen minutes, the aroma of bacon began to spread in the house.
She also fried a plate of shredded potatoes and a plate of cabbage, and made an egg drop soup. After the soup boiled, she sprinkled chopped green onions on it. By this time, the rice was also cooked.
"Have a meal!"
Ying Nianci swallowed and said, "It smells so good."
She hasn't eaten the bacon made by her mother for a long time.
Old Lady Lu called everyone, "Hurry up and eat, then we'll go to work!"
When everyone heard that they could eat and go back to work, they didn't hesitate and just picked up their chopsticks and finished their meal while standing.
After a while, the rice pot was empty and no one thought of leaving any for Duan Changgeng!
Seeing that everyone had eaten their fill, Old Lady Lu ordered, “Nianci, do you know who has a bicycle?”
"You can't follow us for too long in this state of yours."
Ying Nianci first thought of Su Nuan, but then she remembered that she was not at home, so she went to borrow a bicycle from another family in the compound who had one.
Everyone saw them walking away in a grand procession, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Old Lady Lu smiled like a kind old lady and said, "Go to the commune to find the sister-in-law of the Duan family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's curiosity was aroused. Those who had nothing to do at home got up and followed behind to watch the fun.
Although Duan Changqing's in-laws' home is in the commune, it is located on the edge of the commune and is relatively close to the army. It only takes about an hour to walk there.
Eldest brother Ying Nian'en rode a bicycle with Ying Nianzhi and Old Lady Lu, with Old Lady Lu sitting in the front and Ying Nianzhi sitting in the back.
The second brother Ying Nianfei and the third brother Ying Nianyuan followed slowly behind, while Ying Nianting was looking after her two nieces at home.
Unknowingly, a lot of people followed them, some were military dependents, and some were members of nearby brigades.
A large group of people followed them, chattering non-stop.
Those who didn't know the situation followed the crowd and asked for details.
"What happened?"
"Why are they all going forward?" a member of a nearby brigade gossiped.
There is no shortage of enthusiastic people in this era, and soon someone spoke up to explain, "The young comrade in the car in front was abused by her mother-in-law, and the baby in her belly was beaten to death."
"The reason why her mother-in-law dares to be so arrogant is because of the help of her sister-in-law who married into the commune."
"Her family is here today, so naturally we have to go to my sister-in-law's house to seek justice for her!"
After understanding the reason, the member turned around and told the other members who came with him.
Soon, everyone in the area knew that there was a young woman named Duan in the commune, the sister-in-law of the Duan family in the military district. She was more poisonous than a scorpion and instructed her mother to abuse her sister-in-law...
"Let's go, let's go to the commune!"
"Go see what the poisonous woman looks like!"
More and more people joined in, and by the time they arrived at Duan Changqing's in-laws' home in the commune, they had already blocked the alley outside.
There were two familiar faces in the crowd, Su Nuan and Jiang Wan.
The two of them followed the supply truck to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, and strolled around nearby until the time came to take the bus back. Unexpectedly, they heard someone on the street saying that the sister-in-law from the military district brought her family to beat up the young wife named Duan. They guessed that it was Ying Nianzhi who brought her family to deal with Duan Changqing. Without any hesitation, they followed the people on the street who wanted to see the gossip here.
When they arrived, there were so many people here that they were almost squeezed into meat patties. From a distance, the crowd looked as crowded as a group of ants.
“Bang!”
Ying Nian'en kicked open the gate of Duan Changqing's mother-in-law's yard. Perhaps the wooden door was too old, and it fell to the ground and broke into four or five pieces, scattered all over the place.
Some of the people who were originally crowded in the alley quickly moved to the yard. Su Nuan and Jiang Wan successfully squeezed in.
Grandma Duan Changqing heard the noise in the room and started to curse at the top of her voice, "Who the hell is that?"
"You're making such a big fuss, are you going to demolish the house?"
She jumped up from the bed, put on her shoes and walked out, spewing all kinds of unpleasant words.
When she saw the crowds of people in the yard and outside, she was petrified. What was going on?
The bandits came down the mountain to rob?
Ying Nianci was protected by the Ying family, and she didn't know Ying Nianci's family, so she was naturally very frightened. She stopped cursing and spoke tremblingly, "Who are you?"
People standing close could hear the sound of her upper teeth knocking against her lower teeth due to nervousness. It was obvious at first glance that she was an old woman who bullied the weak and feared the strong!
"Where's Duan Changqing?"
"We are here to find Duan Changqing!" Ying Nian'en asked.
At this time, Duan Changqing also realized the seriousness of the matter, because she saw Ying Nianci through the window of the room. The tall and mighty men standing in front of her looked somewhat similar to her. It seemed that they were her biological brothers. She remembered that Ying Nianci had three older brothers and one older sister.
There is no doubt that her mother-in-law and Ying Nianzhi had only met once, and the two would not become enemies for no reason. It could only be directed at her.
She couldn't help but glance at Ying Nianci's family again. Not to mention her three brothers, she couldn't even beat the old lady next to her who looked 50% similar to Ying Nianci.
That old lady looks like a ruthless person.
