Listening to Granny Huang's words, Wang Yan'er lowered her head even further, but she still quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen to get a bowl. However, when she saw the extra oil and salt in the kitchen, her eyes flickered.
Seeing Wang Yan'er being scolded, Huang Dachuan only focused on gnawing on the chicken leg in his hand, without even raising his head. Huang Laotou, the husband of Huang Laopo, was also eating with his mouth full of oil. After finally swallowing the meat in his mouth, he looked at the three chickens and two fish on the table and spoke.
"Old woman, you're amazing! You brought back so much stuff, enough for us to eat for several meals..."
"Hmph, that's right, the money given out as a gift can't just go to the Fan family for nothing..."
At this moment, Wang Yan'er also brought over a few bowls from the kitchen. Just as she was about to reach out and put the leftover chicken and fish from the table into the bowls, Old Mrs. Huang pushed her away.
"Get out of here, you greedy and lazy idiot, get out of my sight..." she said, and kicked him out of the main house.
Wang Yan'er didn't say anything, but quietly returned to the kitchen, picked up a dark cornbread, and mechanically put it into her mouth.
The weather was fine the next day, and Mrs. Fan waited in the woodshed early in the morning, thinking that when Ye Cuihua, the new bride, came to serve her, she would take the opportunity to manipulate her and take the twenty taels of silver from her. That's how she manipulated Han Yiyi back then.
She waited and waited, and the sun was high in the sky, but there was still no sound from inside the house.
Her stomach was growling with hunger, so she angrily put on her clothes and headed straight for the room where Fan Ting and Ye Cuihua were. It was actually her own room, but she was dumbfounded when she entered. The two of them had already disappeared, and there wasn't a soul in the room.
It turned out that Ye Cuihua and Fan Ting had stayed in Granny Fan's room last night. However, Granny Fan was not a hygienic person. The bed had not been washed since Han Yiyi was divorced. The weather was hot, and it had rained, so the smell in the room was indescribable.
Ye Cuihua looked at the bed sheets and blankets on the bed, which were so dirty that they were stained. She almost vomited. Unable to bear it any longer, she started making a fuss and demanded to go back to the Ye family.
Fan Ting was also extremely disgusted, but he was worried about his mother's objection, so the two of them left the Fan family overnight after Old Lady Fan fell asleep.
Looking at the empty room, Granny Fan suddenly realized something, and sat down on the ground again, wailing and cursing. After a while, she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare something to fill her stomach.
But there was nothing left to eat in the kitchen; everything edible had been snatched away yesterday. Rubbing her empty stomach, Granny Fan stepped out of the yard and hurried towards Granny Huang's house, where she was usually on good terms with her...
Thinking that he had a good relationship with Granny Huang, he figured it wouldn't be a problem to go and get some food.
As soon as they arrived at Granny Huang's house, they smelled the aroma of meat wafting from inside, so they pushed open the door and went in without saying a word.
Meanwhile, the Huang family had the chicken and fish they had snatched from the Fan family the day before on the table. The three of them were eating with great relish. The reason there were three of them was that Wang Yan'er was not worthy of eating these things, much less worthy of being on the table. Therefore, she could only eat some wild vegetable porridge in the kitchen.
Looking at the few remaining chicken and fish pieces on the table, Huang Dachuan spoke with some regret.
"Oh, Mother, you should have come back more yesterday. I saw that they had prepared a lot..."
Hearing her son's words, Old Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.
"How much can I take by myself? It's all because of your useless wife, she can't help at all..."
In fact, Wang Yan'er was not allowed to attend the wedding banquet yesterday. However, when he heard his mother putting the blame on his wife again, Huang Dachuan was only focused on eating the meat in his mouth and did not say anything to refute it.
The three were enjoying their meal when a figure rushed in and, without saying a word, overturned the table, scattering all the bowls and plates on the floor.
Seeing the two familiar porcelain bowls on the ground, Granny Fan's eyes reddened with anger, and she pointed at Granny Huang and started cursing.
"You shameless old hag, give me back my things..." he said, and stepped forward to grab Old Lady Huang's hair and shoved her to the ground.
Things happened so fast that before anyone could agree, Old Man Huang and Huang Dachuan saw their wives and mothers being beaten and rushed to help. In no time, the people in the room were fighting amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Wang Yan'er, who was in the kitchen, listened to the cursing of Granny Fan and the wailing of her mother-in-law coming from the main room. She ate her wild vegetable porridge in small bites without any reaction, but her originally dull eyes flashed quickly.
As soon as Granny Fan entered the Huang family home, she noticed Wang Yan'er in the kitchen. Originally, Granny Fan didn't find it strange that Wang Yan'er wasn't allowed to eat in the main room, since she knew perfectly well how Granny Huang usually treated her daughter-in-law. However, Wang Yan'er's behavior caught her attention.
When Wang Yan'er saw Granny Fan, she was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately stood up and blocked the stove behind her.
Seeing Wang Yan'er's actions, Granny Fan assumed that Wang Yan'er was secretly eating something in the kitchen, so she went straight in, intending to catch her red-handed and then tell Granny Huang so that she could teach her a lesson.
To her surprise, after pulling Wang Yan'er away, she saw her own oil jug and salt jar. At this point, Old Lady Fan understood immediately, so she pushed Wang Yan'er to the ground and rushed into the main room.
Because there was a lot of straw in the kitchen that could be used to start a fire, Wang Yan'er was not injured, but she was covered in straw and looked a bit disheveled.
Inside the main room, although Granny Fan was no match for the three of them, she grabbed Granny Huang's hair and wouldn't let go. And since she was a woman, Old Man Huang and Huang Dachuan really couldn't do anything to her for the time being.
Thinking of the oil and salt in the kitchen, and the words they had spoken when she came in, and how the meat they brought had taken two days to finish, Old Lady Fan's anger surged. In a fit of rage, she ripped a handful of Old Lady Huang's hair out...
Old Mrs. Huang cried out in pain, her screams sounding like a pig being slaughtered.
Now that her hair had been pulled out, Old Lady Huang was no longer restrained, so with the help of her husband and son, she directly pinned Old Lady Fan down beneath her...
