Chapter 57: Blame the Heaven and the Earth



All that was seen was red, with big red wedding characters hanging on the walls and windows of the house.

The quilt is red with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, as well as some other colorful patterns.

The small table on the kang was tied with red silk, there were red candles on the cabinet, the window paper was re-pasted, and the potholes on the ground were filled with mud.

It can be seen that the Hu family attaches great importance to this marriage.

"What are you looking at? Go away."

Sun Fangfen was originally trying to curry favor with the third and fifth rooms in the hall, but when she turned her gaze, she saw Hu Lin peeking into the bridal chamber.

Fearing that Hu Lin might cause trouble, Sun Fangfen hurried over and drove Hu Lin away.

Hu Lin glanced at the door that Sun Fangfen had closed, then looked up at her, "Second Aunt, congratulations on getting what you wished for!"

I hope that when we settle the score in the future, she can still look at her with this vicious look.

Sun Fangfen looked at Hu Lin, who was saying nice things but not smiling sincerely, and pursed her lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Deep down she wanted to curse, but as the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you.

After hearing what Hu Lin said, even though she wanted to cut Hu Lin into pieces, she couldn't say a word.

Seeing Hu Fangfen's frustrated look, Hu Lin was in a good mood.

The men of the Hu family who went to work have all returned, and it is time for dinner at home.

There are not enough tables at home, so all the children go to the kitchen to eat.

The children, who were used to the life of city people, disdained to squeeze into the kitchen with them. They picked up some dishes and found chairs in the living room to sit and eat.

Li Aihua is used to cooking at home, so she uses plenty of oil and water.

The people from the second and fourth rooms finally had a juicy meal and they all buried their heads in their food. Only Cao Zhaodi stared at Li Aihua with a sinister look.

After dinner, Wang Shuhua brought up Hu Lin's matter in public. When the men from the third and fifth rooms heard it, they all felt that Hu Lin had a very erratic temper.

They did not say explicitly that they did not agree with Hu Lin going to school next year. They just kept saying that Hu Lin's character was not good, and their attitude showed disapproval.

Li Aihua had heard Hu Lin's decision before, so she kept silent.

Instead, Gao Ruqiong looked around for Hu Lin, hoping that Hu Lin would come out to stop it.

Her family has never been involved in these things. They have already helped the eldest wife once, and there is no way they will get involved again.

But she still couldn't find Hu Lin and could only worry.

Hu Chunsheng, who had lived for most of his life, understood this very well, and immediately decided that Hu Linhuan should go back to school in a few years.

When Wang Shuhua heard the old man say this, the anger she had been holding in her heart finally came out and her frown relaxed.

When Hu Xiaoyi heard that Hu Lin had committed crime again, he sat there with a grim expression on his face and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Hu Lin stayed in the kitchen after dinner, so as to prevent things from going wrong in the hall.

If she went out, she would have to struggle a bit, otherwise it would not be consistent with her character in the eyes of the Hu family.

She was too lazy to act with them, so she hid in the kitchen and pretended she didn't know about it.

Afterwards, Cao Zhaodi did not let Hu Xiaoyi go. She pulled him to a corner and whispered about Li Aihua.

"Son, what kind of days have you been living these days?

Look, your wife uses so much oil when cooking. How can the house withstand her waste?

I think you should divorce her as soon as possible, and I will find you a good wife who will give you a big fat son."

The reason why she didn't say it in front of everyone was mainly because she was afraid that her son-in-law and daughter-in-law in the city would look down on her, thinking that their family was reluctant to use oil even when cooking.

When her beloved son and daughter return home, won’t they be looked down upon?

But you have to be frugal to survive.

She gritted her teeth and added more oil yesterday, so today she let Li Aihua cook and take the blame. Anyway, Li Aihua has been taking the blame for so many years.

Every time her daughter and daughter-in-law scolded Li Aihua, she would just be a good person and enlighten them.

But I didn't expect that Li Aihua used more oil than her this time, which shows how she cooks at home.

How can this go on?

She had only given them a small can of oil when the family split up, and she couldn't let them use it up so quickly.

Before the end of the year settlement, we can’t let them ask our family for things.

In addition to filing a complaint, Cao Zhaodi also did not forget to instigate Hu Xiaoyi and Li Aihua to divorce.

Hu Xiaoyi did not rush to answer Cao Zhaodi, but thought about the recent days.

His mother said that Li Aihua used a lot of oil when cooking, but he actually didn't notice that at the dinner table.

Because this is what he had always eaten at home, and he got to eat meat, which he had not eaten much throughout the year, so he thought it was normal. He only realized it when his mother mentioned it.

Only now did he realize that life at home was better than when they were at the Hu family.

He thought again of the bet he had made with Hu Lin.

Looking at the mother in front of him again, he fell into deep conflict again.

Seeing Hu Xiaoyi in a daze, Cao Zhaodi pushed Hu Xiaoyi's arm in dissatisfaction, "What are you thinking about?"

Looking at Cao Zhaodi with reproach in her eyes, Hu Xiaoyi recalled some things from his childhood.

His mother had a hard life. Not only did she have to raise so many children, but she also had to clean up the house and outside. So he had been helping her with housework for as long as he could remember.

Even his younger brothers and sisters were like half children in his heart and he watched them grow up.

His mother has always been proud of him. When he was a child, she often praised him. Sometimes she would hug him and cry in pain, blaming everything.

After crying, she would hold his shoulders tightly and say, "Xiaoyi, you are the only one I have."

Over and over again, time and again, he took it as his responsibility, hoping to always be a support for his mother.

But it seemed that he hadn't heard his mother's praise for a long time.

"Mom, I'm a little tired and want to rest."

"What did mother say?"

"I see."

After Hu Xiaoyi finished speaking, he left dejectedly.

"Huh?" Cao Zhaodi was not satisfied with Hu Xiaoyi's answer.

Watching Hu Xiaoyi leave the yard, she murmured in surprise, "Really? What's going on?"

Li Aihua, Gao Ruqiong and Sun Fangfen were cleaning the kitchen with dishes and chopsticks. The small kitchen was a bit crowded at this time. Hu Lin did not squeeze in here and went to the vegetable garden in the backyard.

The vegetable fields are still green, and some of the land that has been harvested has been renovated and planted with other vegetables.

The beans have been planted on stalks and have already produced some tender beans. The other vegetables are also growing quite nicely.

This vegetable garden looked much better than the one at home, making her itchy to try her hand at it.

The food at home is not edible yet and will take several months.

Fortunately, Lao Zheng provides fertilizer with manure every week, otherwise the vegetables would be so fragile that they would break at the slightest touch.

Now, if I want to eat some vegetables, I have to rely on Yang Qing to come over for meals, otherwise I can only eat wild vegetables on weekdays.

"I finally found you."

Hu Lin frowned. The voice was not familiar to her, so she turned around to look.

Behind her is Hu Jun, who is much taller than her.
