Chapter 18: A soft-hearted person who listens to others' instigation
After the disaster in Xishan Village spread throughout the area, it soon caused panic among the people.
Sun Chunxue also heard about it at her mother's house. She was worried about the second son and his wife and wanted to go back to see them as soon as possible.
Her mother, Mrs. Bai, sat on the kang, squinted her eyes, and spat a mouthful of melon seed shells on her face!
"You dead thing, it was your mother's family who gave birth to you and raised you. Instead of staying at home to help your brother and sister-in-law, you worry about whether your husband's family will live or die. I think you are just too idle!" Mrs. Bai poked Sun Chunxue's temple fiercely.
She snorted again, "It would be great if something really happened to the Jiang family. The two young people could save more food, and you can bring it back to your mother's family to eat."
Sun Chunxue couldn't stand this.
Thinking of Feng's good intentions, she jumped to the ground with her cheeks swollen.
"Mother, how can you say that? If it weren't for my mother-in-law's generosity to let me bring back two bags of rice, you wouldn't have such thick millet porridge at noon. Why can't you remember their kindness?" Sun Chunxue mustered up the courage to retort.
Bai's eyes were red and bloodshot: "I splashed your basin of water on the Jiang family. It's only right for them to give me things. Do you want me to remember their kindness? Bah, unless Jiang Fengnian brings two taels of silver and comes to honor me in person!" After
hearing this, Sun Chunxue hung her head and sat back on the kang uncomfortably.
Money, money, money again.
She knew that her mother looked down on the Jiang family because they were too poor.
The marriage was promised two days before the Jiang family split up.
At that time, Bai was attracted by the fact that the Jiang family had two large houses and many fields. She thought that the daughter would be able to give money to her parents in the future, so she married Sun Chunxue to them.
But who would have thought that after the family split up, the third branch of the Jiang family became the entire Dalui Village, one of the poorest, and
Bai's little plan fell through.
She was naturally upset.
But Jiang Fengnian was also a person who could not tolerate anger. After being insulted by Bai on his first visit, he no longer recognized his mother-in-law, which made Bai hate the Jiang family even more.
Sun Chunxue wanted to make her husband's family proud.
She swallowed her saliva several times, and in a hurry, she directly told him about the two silver ingots.
"Mom, isn't it just silver? You may not know that my family just got 40 taels a few days ago!" Sun Chunxue couldn't help but said.
Just when she was hesitating whether to mention the banknote, Bai had already jumped up from the kang!
"What, 40 taels! How much did you get? Why don't you give it back to mom?" Bai's eyes widened, and her claws almost hurt Sun Chunxue.
Sun Chunxue was stunned.
"Mom... my family's silver is managed by my mother-in-law, and it can't reach me..."
Bai sat back disappointedly: "That means I have nothing, useless!"
Thinking of the tempting 40 taels, and then looking at the useless concubine, Bai's dissatisfaction reached its peak.
She rolled her eyes, and suddenly jumped to the ground like a big rat, and took out a bag of herbs from the cabinet.
"Take this and drink it. It's the prescription that mother asked someone to prepare for you two days ago. Cook two liang of it at a time, one in the morning and one in the evening."
Bai's face suddenly became good, and she forced the medicine to her daughter: "Your belly is not doing well, no wonder your mother-in-law doesn't value you, otherwise you are the eldest daughter-in-law, and you should be in charge of the money."
Speaking of pregnancy, Sun Chunxue's face dimmed for a moment.
Yes, since the previous pregnancy was gone, she couldn't get pregnant. Although
Fengnian and her mother-in-law never blamed her, they probably also had concerns.
Sun Chunxue looked at Bai with emotion: "Mother, you still love me and even prepared the medicine for me."
Bai laughed twice, showing her big yellow teeth.
"That's right, unlike your mother-in-law, who never let you take medicine. If you were my daughter-in-law, I would force you to take 20 bowls of medicine a day to make your belly bigger. Women can't have children? Then what's the point of living!" Bai licked her teeth and narrowed her eyes like a poisonous tongue.
Sun Chunxue shuddered for no reason.
Twenty bowls a day... just eating that will make her belly bloated...
At this time, Bai threatened again: "Your mother-in-law doesn't care about you, and now she has a concubine. If you don't be more careful, you won't have any status in your husband's family in the future."
Sun Chunxue had already liked her sister-in-law, but now that she was provoked, she couldn't help but get tangled up.
If it was just one more mouth to feed, it would be fine.
But her mother-in-law loved little Nuobao so much that everything in the family depended on her...
Thinking of Chun Ge'er who didn't even have milk to drink, Sun Chunxue was afraid that after she got pregnant, she would be neglected because of her sister-in-law.
She was soft-hearted and began to pick at her clothes with worry: "Whose daughter is loved by whom, mother, it seems that I will have to listen to you more in the future." Seeing
this, Bai Shi hurriedly said: "That's right, go back and drink the medicine first. By the way, this medicine costs three taels of silver and twenty packs. After you finish drinking it, mother will go to your house to get the silver!"
For three consecutive days, Sun Chunxue was at her mother's house, threshing corn, chopping firewood, and taking care of her father's excrement and urine. She shouldered all the work.
From time to time, she would be pulled by her hair and punched by her nephew Bai Guangzong.
Sun Chunxue thought her mother loved her, so she was very diligent and never complained.
When the farm work was done, Bai Shi didn't want her to eat more food at home, so she sent her to Daliu Village.
Smelling the chicken shit smell in Sun Chunxue's arms, after she left, Bai's daughter-in-law asked in surprise: "Mom, isn't that the medicine I prescribed when you had diarrhea last year? There is chicken shit vine or something in it, why did you let your daughter take it back?"
Bai proudly hugged Bai Guangzong and snorted: "What do you know? As long as she takes it all when she goes back, my eldest grandson will have money for his childhood marriage and private school."
A big bag of medicine for eighty cents.
Sold to the daughter for three taels of silver.
Worth it!
As for the grandson, Bai rolled her eyes. She was not worried about the daughter. After
all, those who get married are losers.
Once you have your own children, can you still think about your parents' home?
It's better to contribute to your parents' home first...
...
Boom!
Around noon, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the sky.
It was finally raining in Daliu Village!
