As the saying goes, "A distant place smells good, but a close place smells bad."
These past few days, Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui moved back, and first of all, they gave their eldest son's family a thorough dressing down.
The elderly couple were convinced that their youngest son, Lin Youfu, and his wife, Wu Chunhua, were definitely better than Zheng Yumei and her husband, and would surely be able to take good care of them.
But when I got back, I found that it wasn't like that at all.
The sun was high in the sky, but Wu Chunhua still didn't cook.
Granddaughter Lin Caifeng is even lazier and does nothing all day long.
Sun Zilin Xinglong is nowhere to be seen every day, and no one knows where he has gone.
His youngest son, Lin Youfu, only knew how to get a pipe and puff away.
Zhou Xiuying then urged Wu Chunhua to cook.
Wu Chunhua never needed to do these kinds of work before; Xu Chunmai always did them.
Since Zhou Xiuying had just returned, Wu Chunhua started cooking.
But once the meal was cooked, Zhou Xiuying stuffed all of her and Lin Fugui's clothes into her hands and made her wash them.
She added that her sister-in-law, Zheng Yumei, used to do all of this.
This is what a daughter-in-law should do.
Wu Chunhua couldn't take it anymore and threw the two people's clothes out.
Enraged, Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui berated Wu Chunhua for being unfilial and even went to complain to Lin Youfu.
He was crying his eyes out, recounting how difficult it had been for Lin Youfu all these years.
When Lin Youfu saw that his parents had been wronged, he scolded Wu Chunhua.
In short, it's a constant battle of wits at home. These past few days, they've been hurling insults at each other, and nobody seems to like anyone else.
When Lin Xinglong returned to ask for money, Wu Chunhua angrily smashed the basin in her hand.
Sitting on the kang in the east room, Zhou Xiuying started slapping her thigh, "Dad, look at him, he's unhappy with us again, he's started smashing pots and pans again, how are we supposed to live like this!"
Lin Fugui, with his pipe dangling from his mouth, said, "You've been making a fuss, how would I know how to make a living? If we hadn't moved out of the boss's place, we would still be living a comfortable life!"
Zhou Xiuying got angry just thinking about it, "That boss is no good either, he hasn't come to pick us up all these days!"
Hearing Zhou Xiuying say that, Lin Fugui also felt angry, "They're all ingrates, and Lin Chuan is no exception, they're all like that!"
Lin Xinglong started dating someone, which originally made Wu Chunhua very happy.
But now the family is in complete chaos. No one is harvesting the land, no one is doing the work, the people who were supposed to make money have left, and with two more mouths to feed, we're almost starving.
Lin Xinglong even came to ask for ten yuan to go to the movies with his girlfriend?
Seeing Wu Chunhua angry, Lin Xinglong was also very dissatisfied. "Mom, you keep telling me to find a partner quickly. If I find one, I'll have to treat her well. You won't even give me money to go to the movies. You're so stingy."
Wu Chunhua had a headache. "Does wooing a girl really require taking her to the movies?"
Lin Xinglong snorted, "I'm not talking to you anymore, you wouldn't understand anyway."
As he spoke, he went inside to find Zhou Xiuying. "Grandma, give me ten yuan. My boyfriend and I are going out to see a movie."
Zhou Xiuying originally adored this grandson.
But over the past few days, Lin Xinglong has shown absolutely no respect for her and Lin Fugui.
Besides the money in the jar, she and Lin Fugui did indeed have some other money on them.
They gave it all to Lin Xinglong at first, and now they're asking for it back.
"What the hell? I gave you all the money I had left, and you still want more! Lin Chuan took all the rest, go find him!"
Lin Xinglong retorted angrily, "I think you all just don't want me to find a wife, you don't want me to have a good life!"
After saying that, he stormed out of the house.
As Wu Chunhua watched Lin Xinglong's departing figure, she pondered how she could make some money.
She had heard that Lin Chuan had been eating meat every day at Xu Shengli's house in Changling Village these days.
They were suffering terribly here, eating meager rations, while Lin Chuan and his friends were enjoying a life of luxury.
Xu Chunmai should have come back to serve her mother-in-law!
All the money Lin Chuan earns should belong to her!
Wu Chunhua became increasingly angry, to the point that her stomach ached and her chest felt tight.
A short while later, Lin Caifeng arrived again.
"Mom, give me twenty yuan. The department store in the county town has received a batch of new shoes. They're so beautiful. I want some too."
Wu Chunhua roared, "I want money! I want money! Get out! All of you, get out!"
Lin Caifeng stared blankly at Wu Chunhua, "Mom, why are you yelling at me? I only wanted twenty yuan!"
Wu Chunhua yelled, "I'll kill myself tomorrow!"
Zhou Xiuying was displeased and got off the kang (a heated brick bed). "Wu Chunhua, are you deliberately starting this argument to show your disdain for me and your father?"
Wu Chunhua felt even more upset when she saw the old lady.
"Yeah, I despise you two. All you do is eat. You have no money, no anything. What's the point of keeping you around? Why don't you just die!"
Zhou Xiuying was so angry that she felt like she couldn't breathe.
Lin Fugui was also angry, "Chunhua, put your hands on your conscience. Ever since you married into the family, haven't your mother and I given you enough?"
Wu Chunhua retorted angrily, "That's for me? That's for your son, what does it have to do with me!"
Lin Fugui pointed at Wu Chunhua, "You, you're really going to drive us crazy!"
Wu Chunhua didn't want to care anymore. "If you don't want to be driven crazy, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
Zhou Xiuying cried and wailed, "Father, let's go, let's go back to the eldest son's place!"
The two packed their bags and headed outside.
These days, the neighbors all seem to be watching them like it's a spectacle, constantly finding new ways to make noise.
Zhou Xiuying and Lin Fugui strode towards Lin Qingyou's house.
At this time, Lin Qingyou's family only had Lin Ping and Lin Wei's four children.
