Chapter 145: So You Like to Serving People
Li Jiaojiao, who was standing by, saw Li Zhiyuan being defeated, her face darkened and she sneered:
"Aunt Ye, I heard that you have a lover, his name is Zhao Lai Zi or Liu Lai Zi, haha, anyway, he is just a Lai Zi. When are you going to get married? Remember to inform us then, we will give you a generous gift."
Ye Jin'er was furious: "Nonsense! That rascal was just making up stories. He was beaten up by his clan leader yesterday."
Li Jiaojiao spread her hands and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. But, Auntie, you are only fit to get entangled with these ruffians."
Li Zhiyuan felt relieved after hearing this, and finally felt proud.
That’s right. Even if Ye built a big house, it wouldn’t matter. You won’t find a better one than this one!
She only deserves to be with these lowly bastards.
Li Jiaojiao continued, "Alas, not everyone is as lucky as my mother, who found a scholar."
Zhang Shuiniang pressed her handkerchief to her lips, but her eyes could not hide her smile and pride.
Ye Jin'er was so angry that she wanted to yell at someone, but Ye Caiping stretched out her arm to stop her.
Ye Jin'er looked at Ye Caiping in confusion.
Ye Caiping said slowly:
"Ah, you are so lucky? You are so lucky that your house only has three mu of land, and it is short and small. I am so miserable that my big brick and tile house is only built on six mu of land, only twice as big as yours. If you add the workshop, kitchen and animal shed, it is only two mu of land. I am so miserable!"
Li Zhiyuan: “…”
Li Jiaojiao: “…”
Zhang Shuiniang: “…”
They just felt like they were stabbed.
"Also, how much money can you make in a day? How often do you eat meat? And how much funeral money did you give today?"
Li Zhiyuan and three others were stabbed again!
"They gave a hundred coins," said Li Zhigang.
"Oh, they are so poor that they can only give a hundred coins!" Ye Caiping took out a tael from her sleeve, "Here, I am so unlucky that I can only give a tael!"
Li Zhigang took the silver in excitement and disbelief: "Sister Ye, how come you are so rich!"
"There's nothing I can do. As the girl from the Li family said, I have a miserable life. It's so miserable that all I have left is money." As he said this, he pretended to wipe away his tears.
Li Jiaojiao and Li Zhiyuan were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Li Zhiyuan said angrily: "We are talking about getting married, what does it have to do with money?"
Ye Caiping said: "I'm talking about money, what does it have to do with getting married?"
Li Zhiyuan was almost choking to death. It seemed that no matter what he said, she would just say: I am richer than you!
Mrs. Li was furious: "Where did you get the money? It's all our Li family's money! Now you've spent all the money on building a house. I wonder how you're going to live in the future."
Ye Caiping looked at Mrs. Li in surprise. She couldn't believe that even though Mrs. Li was tortured like this by her daughter-in-law, the whole family could still stand united against the outside world.
Well, then today she should be kind enough to overturn their united boat!
Ye Caiping looked at her: "Let's not talk about us first. Auntie, you are living a very happy life! Why, being a slave to your daughter-in-law every day is a very happy thing, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of Mrs. Li, Zhang Shuiniang and others changed.
Even though it's true, I can't tell anyone about it!
Which mother-in-law serves her daughter-in-law? If this were to be told to others, it would be a joke and Zhang Shuiniang would also be branded as an unfilial person!
Mrs. Li couldn't bear to be laughed at, so she turned pale and said, "You are talking nonsense..."
Before she could finish, Ye Caiping continued, "When I was your daughter-in-law, I served you tea and water, and even knelt down to wash your feet. I served you like an old lady."
"But you still dislike me, always finding fault with me, and even telling others that I am unfilial."
"Now Zhang Shuiniang lies at home doing nothing every day, as lazy as a pig. Yet you, as a mother-in-law, serve her. To others, you praise her for being good at everything."
"I finally understand. It turns out that you are born to be a slave and like to serve others! The reason why you say that I am unfilial is because I stole your hobby! I made you unable to be a slave."
"Now you have finally welcomed a few masters into your family and are living a good life of serving others every day. Congratulations!"
Ye Caiping spoke without pausing.
Everyone present was stunned after hearing what they heard, and then they all looked at Mrs. Li and Zhang Shuiniang with complicated expressions.
Li Zhiyuan and Zhang Shuiniang, mother and daughter, turned pale and blue in the face.
Zhang Shui Niang hurriedly explained: "No... I, I didn't ask my mother-in-law to wait on me, I have work to do..."
Li Zhiyuan also said anxiously: "Shui Niang is very hardworking. She does all the housework at home. I don't know how filial she is."
Mrs. Li just felt ashamed! So embarrassing!
She always prided herself on being the noble mother of a scholar, and she had a filial daughter-in-law and a happy family.
She should have helped Zhang Shuiniang to cover up her lie, but when she heard Li Zhiyuan taking all the credit on Zhang Shuiniang without hesitation, the grievances in her heart came flooding back like a tidal wave.
"Don't wash it, do you really think we are blind? We all know whether Aunt Li is serving her daughter-in-law or not! The fact that she likes to be a servant must have spread from your village to my ears, otherwise how would I know?"
Ye Caiping's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Mrs. Li completely collapsed!
Yes, how could Ye Caiping know that she was working like a slave for her daughter-in-law? Naturally, the rumor spread from their village!
It turns out that the whole village knows what kind of life she leads!
But he still pretends to be happy in front of outsiders and exaggerates how filial his wife Li Jiaojiao is!
Every time this happened, did the villagers laugh at her in their hearts?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and simply sat down on the ground, crying:
"Zhang Shui Niang, you bitch, why don't you admit it? Since you got married, have you ever cooked a meal? Washed a bowl? Did any housework? No! You haven't!"
"You didn't even help to fix the fallen soy sauce bottle! You even asked me, your mother-in-law, to wash your small clothes! You are so unfilial, damn it! Why don't you and your daughter just die of laziness?"
"I came back from washing clothes outside, and there was no water in the house! I asked you to boil a pot of water, but you called me son and said I ordered you to work and tortured you!"
"I call this a torture? I am a mother-in-law, but I have to serve you young people! Everyone, please judge for yourself. Which daughter-in-law with healthy hands and legs wants to be served by her mother-in-law?"
As he said this, he began to sob bitterly.
The villagers of Lijia Village had known about their family's living conditions for a long time, but because they were afraid of Li Zhiyuan, they did not expose it and just treated it as a joke.
Now that Mrs. Li had made a scene, they all looked at Zhang Shuiniang with blame, "How can there be such a daughter-in-law? She is so unfilial."
Zhang Shuiniang's face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hid behind Li Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, wuwu... I'm scared..."
Li Zhiyuan was so heartbroken.
Shui Niang has always been arrogant, and has never looked at him so weakly and helplessly.
"No, Shui Niang is very filial." Li Zhiyuan said, staring at Li Pozi, "Mom, you——"
"Shut up! Try to threaten me again! I'm going to tell you everything today! What do you think? You want to split up with Zhang Shuiniang and become the Zhang family's son-in-law? Go ahead! Anyway, I won't serve you anymore!"
