Hearing the noise, several sisters-in-law gathered outside the east room, pretending to persuade them. The eldest daughter-in-law was kissing and groaning, as if she had killed her own mother. With that expression and tone, it would be a pity if she wasn't an actress.
The fourth daughter-in-law appears gentle and innocent, but she's actually a black-hearted woman. She's best friends with the eldest daughter-in-law, forming a clique and following her lead. Over the years, she's been following her lead, getting into all sorts of trouble. The six sisters-in-law take turns cooking for the Guan family, and whenever it's her turn, she complains about pain or itchiness, or pretends to sprain her ankle. She's definitely not a good person.
"Second sister-in-law, were you possessed by something when you went up the mountain? Why did you chop our mother with a kitchen knife as soon as you came back? Look at the damage you did to her arm. The blood is flowing. It hurts me so much."
After hearing this, Shui Shui curled his lips and said, "Yes, he was cut and bleeding, but it was just a layer of skin broken. I guess the wound will heal on its own after a while."
After the fourth daughter-in-law's performance, it was the third daughter-in-law's turn. Of the six daughters-in-law in the Guan family, this one was the most thoughtful. Her performance was miles ahead of the others. The Oscar-winning actress instantly captivated the role. Erkang stretched out his hand toward Old Lady Guan, tears streaming down his face as he clutched his chest and called out "Mom," as if ready to pounce on her mother-in-law at any moment. Such expressiveness would put even the most talented modern actors to shame.
The fifth brother's wife also pretended to say a few words.
The sixth brother's wife was pregnant, so she stayed away from such big scenes and never came out of her room.
Guan Ping'an's family was once well-known for its harmonious relationship. Guan Laoer and his wife never spoke ill of their family in front of outsiders, simply working hard every day. The villagers always believed that it was because of the difficult labor she suffered during the birth of her second child, coupled with the fact that she had never had a son, that she was not well-liked.
Several older grandchildren have been blocking outside the main hall. These grandchildren cannot be left behind in any matter of this family. They are all prominent figures in their Guan family. Now they are waiting outside the door for a move, just waiting for their grandfather's call to rush in and attack their second uncle at any time.
Guan Lao Er works in the fields all year round and has a lot of strength. He is so angry that he is about to explode, so his whole body is full of energy. Those brothers usually lie down instead of sitting, and they try to avoid working in the fields if they can. If they really can't avoid it, they will try to be sneaky. So for the time being, Guan's father can control the situation.
When Mrs. Guan saw that Mr. Guan had also started to take action, she simply pulled up Mrs. Guan and put a kitchen knife against her neck.
"Where the hell did Xingxing go?"
As she spoke, she increased the strength of her hands. The cold kitchen knife had already forced its way into the flesh. A foul smell came out of the room, and Mrs. Guan was so scared that she wet her pants.
"Will you tell me?" The kitchen knife moved closer. Looking closely, one could see a trace of blood.
"Xiaoli's neighbor, Erchuang's wife, has a little sister from her family. She's been married in the countryside for five or six years and has no children. A few days ago, she told Erchuang's wife that she wanted to adopt a child from a nearby village. Xiaoli thought it was a good idea. We don't know when this famine will end. You have two girls at home, and Xingxing is young. Why not let her live with a good family? Wouldn't it be better for her to go to the countryside than to stay with you?"
"How much did you get from selling Xingxing?"
"It's not much. The little girl is not worth much. Just two hundred yuan and a bag of cornmeal. They said it's for me, not for you."
"Anything else? You have to tell the truth, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control my strength and I'll regret it if I hit you too hard."
"There are still 100 eggs!"
The old lady said through gritted teeth.
"Hurry up and take out everything you collected."
Old Mrs. Guan pursed her lips tightly and stared at Guan's mother as if she were an enemy, without saying a word or moving.
Well, this old woman is someone who values money over her life.
