"Second sister..." Wang Jingjing called out weakly. The wooden threshold of their house was a bit high. She stepped out with one leg, tripped, and sat down on the threshold.
Forget it, I won’t chase her anymore.
The woman followed and glanced out, "What's wrong with your second sister?"
"You are not allowed to talk about my second sister! Aunt, why are you so mean to my second sister?" Wang Jingjing shouted angrily.
Zhang Xiu'e happened to come out from the toilet at this moment. As she scooped up some water to drink, she casually asked, "What's going on?"
"Mom, I don't like my aunt. She bullies my second sister." Wang Jingjing pouted and complained.
"What are you talking about, little girl? When did I ever bully your second sister?"
"Wang Zhaozhao is back? Where is he?"
The woman and Zhang Xiu'e asked at the same time.
Wang Jingjing snorted angrily and crossed her arms across her chest.
Zhang Xiu'e hurriedly asked her cousin, "Xiaoqin, what's going on? Where is Wang Zhaozhao?"
…
On the other side, Wang Zhaozhao ran out and scurried towards the ridges of the fields.
"Milk...milk..." He shouted loudly while running.
Wang Zhaozhao kept yelling, and although the people working in the fields didn't stop, their curiosity was already piqued.
"Milk……"
"Calling for the soul?" Xie Ailian had heard it a long time ago, but she only looked up when Wang Zhaozhao came over. She glared at her angrily, "What are you making so much noise for?!"
"No, grandma, I'm just scared." Wang Zhaozhao didn't feel ashamed at all. She was just a little girl under ten years old, so it was normal for her to yell. "I just came back from the mountains. As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, an old lady in a floral short shirt blocked my way. She yelled at me and said she was eighteen years old and came to be my fourth aunt."
"What?" Xie Ailian yelled.
"I just looked at her, and she was about to hit someone, so I ran out." After five years of growth, Wang Zhaozhao's role as a frightened and pitiful one is barely acceptable.
Xie Ailian had already turned around and looked around, but Zhang Xiu'e was not there!
"Mom, my second sister-in-law said she went back to pee and hasn't come back yet." Shi Haiyan came running over at some point. How could she be absent from such a lively occasion?
At this time, her mind was super sharp.
After so many years of "battle of wits and courage" with Wang Zhaozhao, she is definitely the one who knows Wang Zhaozhao best in the family.
Wang Zhaozhao wouldn't bite anyone for no reason, nor would he tell a lie...
"Mom, is Second Sister-in-law planning to introduce her cousin to Fourth Brother? Has she mentioned this to you?"
"Bullshit!"
Xie Ailian was furious. She had already climbed onto the ridge of the field. Her feet were covered in mud, but she didn't bother to wash them. She simply left her shoes on and ran home.
Shi Haiyan didn't follow directly. She first asked Wang Zhaozhao, "Zhao girl, she didn't hit you, did she?"
"No." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head. "I reacted quickly and ran away."
"That's good." Shi Haiyan knew this very well. She was just asking a cheap question.
Because she knew that Chen Meiru, that taciturn person, would not care about Wang Zhaozhao, and she would not pretend even in public.
She just wanted to show off and disgust Chen Meiru. Even if Chen Meiru was as wooden as a wooden stick and didn't feel anything, she would still feel good.
Sure enough, Chen Meiru, who was working in another rice field, came over silently without saying a word and went straight after the old lady.
In rural areas, even if there is a fight between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the previous second, no matter which side has a conflict with outsiders in the next second, they will form a united front.
Especially when the mother-in-law gets into a fight with someone else, the daughter-in-law must go and help.
I can’t say all of it, but probably more than 90%.
Men and sons generally do not get involved casually, because once men get involved, the nature of the matter will change. This is why many families want to have sons or even more sons.
Men not only represent labor force, but also combat effectiveness, and even extend to issues involving the same clan as the surname.
Shi Haiyan naturally wouldn't lag far behind Chen Meiru. She wanted to go with Wang Zhaozhao, but Wang Zhaozhao refused. "Third Aunt, go back first. Don't let our grandma suffer. I'll go find Fourth Uncle..."
After saying that, he ran away.
Of course, Wang Zhaozhao's incident wasn't just because of that woman's behavior...
wrong!
It was because that woman's behavior and character were not worthy of her fourth uncle, Comrade Wang Sibing.
As the saying goes, the emperor values his eldest son, and the people love their youngest son.
In their family, Wang Dahai values his eldest son, while Xie Ailian loves his youngest son.
However, Wang Dahai basically doesn't care about anything, and his performance is not obvious. Unlike Xie Ailian, if there are any delicious food or drinks, she always gives them to Wang Sibing first, and she doesn't have to do any work.
When he was a child, other children would bring some firewood back when they went to play in the mountains, but Wang Sibing didn't need it, so he was not needed to do housework. He even started working in the fields two or three years later than his peers in the village.
Fortunately, he didn't develop a lazy nature, but he wasn't as honest and hardworking as the eldest and the third brother... Well, the second brother was an exception.
It's not that Wang Erbing is dishonest or incompetent, he's just relatively inferior...
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao did not rule out the possibility that she was biased. Anyway, she felt that her father was the worst of her grandparents' four sons, with bad character and temper.
Maybe it was influenced by what happened five years ago?
"Fourth Uncle..."
Wang Zhaozhao found Wang Sibing operating a threshing machine and said, "Wang Jingjing's mother has her eyes on you. She wants to give you her cousin."
"That's your mother too." Wang Sibing reminded indifferently without even raising his head.
The thresher made a humming sound when stepped on, stirring up mud and water. His trouser legs were rolled up above his knees, and his body was covered with mud spots.
"Haha." Wang Zhaozhao gave him two dry laughs.
Wang Sibing didn't care. He was just pretending. After all, they were outside.
What he really thought was, a stepmother is not good for the child, so why does she have to press the child's head to make her call her mom?
"Am I ugly?" This time, Wang Sibing looked up at Wang Zhaozhao.
"Fourth uncle, I didn't expect that you are also a... uh, someone who likes to look at faces." After hearing what Wang Sibing said, Wang Zhaozhao laughed so hard that he almost uttered the word "face-loving dog".
"I'm just curious if she's really ugly. You hate her so much, is it because besides her bad temper, her looks are also terrible in your eyes?"
“……!”
Wang Zhaozhao curled her lips. When did her fourth uncle see through her love for beauty?!
"I didn't even get a good look at her. I barely stepped through the gate when she came over like the wind, blocking my way. She kept complaining about my bad behavior. I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and brought a small bundle of firewood with me, and she said I was being cunning and crazy!"
This was outside, and Wang Sibing helplessly reminded her, "Your grandma just needs to go back and chase them away... I'll give you ten cents later to buy some candy."
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"Fourth Uncle, look at you, your niece, I'm not helping you just for the sake of candy." Even though she said that, her eyes were curved with a smile.
Give her a dime and it’s her business whether to buy candy or not.
