Chapter 150: The feud is settled
Shen Dazhuang looked at him with disdain, "You always mention your brother-in-law, who is your brother-in-law?"
Zhang Xiumei covered her son's mouth. They had just arrived, and if this incident got out of hand today, it would make other people in the village laugh at them, and their in-laws would inevitably think they were restless.
He causes trouble as soon as he arrives.
She suppressed her anger and smiled apologetically, "Aunt, I think you are reasonable. To put it bluntly, today's incident was caused by some careless words between children. Look, my son was also beaten. How about we just forget it?"
Old Mrs. Pan was not the kind of person who would quibble over trivial matters. Since the other party had given in and shown weakness, she was too lazy to pursue the matter any further.
Judging from the appearance of the mother and son, they are most likely poor relatives from the village who have come to seek refuge.
She tapped the ground twice with her cane, and without answering, she turned her head and said to Shen Dazhuang, "Go home!"
Shen Dazhuang glanced at Lin Xiaojun coldly, and the feud was settled.
Just because grandma doesn't care doesn't mean he doesn't hold a grudge.
It’s too easy to hit that fat guy with one punch!
As soon as they left, Lin Xiaojun shook off his mother's hand and complained, "Mom! Why didn't you let me speak!"
Zhang Xiumei sighed, "My dear! We just arrived here, so it's better to keep a low profile. Besides, that family doesn't look easy to mess with."
"So what if he's not easy to mess with? Isn't my brother-in-law's father the captain? Is the captain afraid of an old woman and a child?"
Lin Xiaojun is young after all and doesn't understand the ways of the world here at all.
Zhang Xiumei had no choice but to say, "Then let's find your sister first, then we can talk about this, okay?"
Lin Xiaojun covered his swollen face, feeling extremely aggrieved, and said fiercely: "If I wasn't so hungry now, I would definitely fight back!"
"Mom! I need to eat more! I want to be as tall as him!"
Zhang Xiumei nodded helplessly, "Okay, okay, eat more and grow taller."
This happened the first time the mother and son asked for directions. Zhang Xiumei didn't dare let her son go alone to ask for directions again, so she had to go with the luggage herself.
By the time she arrived at Shen's house, it was dark outside.
"mom!"
When Lin Mengyao saw the people in the yard, even though she didn't care much about her mother who favored boys over girls, what she was experiencing had already made her exhausted, and she needed someone to support her.
Seeing her daughter, who used to dress up beautifully, now married and haggard, Zhang Xiumei couldn't help but tear up, "Mengyao...you have suffered."
She couldn't help but regret that she had listened to her daughter and followed her to the countryside.
If not for this, she would not be treated like that by Lin Dahai in the Lin family, and she would only be the mother-in-law of the regiment leader that everyone envied.
Lin Mengyao felt very aggrieved, and when she saw her mother who truly loved her, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Even if my mother does favor my younger brother, at least I am still her daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. It’s not that she doesn’t love me, it’s just that I can’t compare to the importance my younger brother has in her heart.
Compared to Lin Ziqiu who lost her mother early, Lin Mengyao is much happier.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Qiu Lian, who was in the main room, saw this scene and pursed her lips. She thought that city people were so great, but looking at Zhang Xiumei's dress and appearance, she thought she was just so-so.
Not even as good as her, a village woman.
"Hey, my mother-in-law is here. Mengyao, why did you let your mother stand outside and not let anyone come in and sit down?"
Qiu Lian looked very enthusiastic, but Zhang Xiumei was very smart and she could hear a hint of disdain in the other party's words.
But she didn't rush to attack. After all, she had to see the current situation clearly before making any plans.
"Before, my daughter Mengyao got married, but her father and I couldn't get leave from the factory, so we missed it. Now I heard that Mengyao is pregnant. I'm afraid that she will suffer in vain because of her lack of experience, so I thought about coming over to take care of her for a while. I hope my mother-in-law won't mind!"
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Zhang Xiumei said this politely.
Even if Qiu Lian was not happy for her to come, she couldn't refuse.
"How can that be possible! I've been waiting for you to come! Stay for a few days and treat this place as your own home. Don't feel restrained!"
Qiu Lian also smiled and led them into the main room.
There was firewood burning in the main room, with a wooden table on top. It was obvious that the family ate here.
Lin Mengyao didn't want to bother with her cunning mother-in-law. She took her mother's arm and walked towards her room. "Xiaojun, you stay here by the fire. I have something to tell you."
Lin Xiaojun pouted and pointed at her face, "What can happen to you? Can't you see the wound on your brother's face? Is there a sister like you?"
As soon as he entered the yard, he looked around the Shen family's house and felt that it was not much different from his own home. He thought he could live in a very grand big house!
It seems that being the head of a village is nothing special.
Lin Mengyao frowned, "What's going on? Who bullied you?"
She didn't really care about Lin Xiaojun, she just asked in a pretentious manner.
Lin Xiaojun sat down on the stool and said, "It's just those unruly people in your village! If you can't win the argument, just hit me!"
Were they beaten by the villagers?
Lin Mengyao's heart skipped a beat and she looked at her mother, "What's going on? Why did you get into a conflict with the villagers?"
Zhang Xiumei quickly pulled her son up, held him in her arms, and laughed dryly: "Oh, it's nothing serious, just playing with two kids."
They were not in the right in this matter, so Zhang Xiumei didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Moreover, she could see that her daughter's mother-in-law was not an easy person to get along with, so she didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of others.
She immediately changed the subject, "Do you have any food in your room? Your brother has been crying out for hunger..."
Lin Mengyao sighed lightly, walked to the kitchen impatiently, took two steamed buns from the pot and handed them to Lin Xiaojun, "Eat."
Lin Xiaojun pouted, his eyes full of disdain, "What's so delicious about steamed buns? I want to eat chicken legs!"
He tugged at his mother's sleeve, "Mom! Doesn't your brother-in-law's family have everything? I want to eat chicken legs, lots and lots of them!"
Because they didn't know they would arrive today, the Shen family made no preparations at all.
Qiu Lian looked down on them in her heart, but since others said so, she must not lose face.
"It's such an unfortunate coincidence. I didn't know you were coming today, so I didn't prepare anything at home. I'll ask your brother-in-law to kill a chicken for you tomorrow, okay?"
"Why wait until tomorrow? Can't it be done today? I can eat some steamed buns first."
Lin Xiaojun was already starving and thought he would have a big meal at the captain's house, but in the end there were only steamed buns.
Qiu Lian's mouth twitched slightly. Why is this kid so unreasonable? No wonder he was beaten as soon as he arrived in the village. It seems that he is not a good person.
Just because he said he wanted to eat chicken legs, does that mean he's going to stay here and want to eat those delicious things every day?
That won’t do!
