Chapter 161: Evil Mother-in-law
Annan walked upstairs puzzledly. What woman on the thirteenth floor?
Aren’t Sun Peng, Wang Xiaoyu and Chu Peipei living on the 13th floor?
Sun Peng and Wang Xiaoyu are both dead, and Chu Peipei moved next door to her. So where is the person left on the 13th floor?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a curse coming from upstairs:
"My fellow neighbors, please give me some advice!"
"This little bastard who is greedy for money and murders bullies me, an orphan and a widow!"
"God, please look at me, I am suffering so much!"
Annan was frowning because of the evil sound that penetrated his head. He took the dog to the thirteenth floor and saw an old woman in her fifties sitting on the platform between the thirteenth and fourteenth floors.
This old woman was skinny, with wrinkles all over her face, deep wrinkles between her brows, and a mean look on her face.
Where did this crazy woman come from, shouting here?
When the old woman saw Annan holding the dog, she suddenly stopped scolding and instead showed a greedy smile. She nimbly got up from the ground and went to Annan's side.
"Little girl, are you going to make dog meat? Can you give me a bowl? I've been hungry for a long time!"
Dog meat?
Annan glared at her and said, "Get out of here!"
After staying in the mountains and the base for a while, no one had been interested in her dog for a long time. Seeing the covetous look again really made her angry.
The woman was frightened by Annan's eyes and shuddered for a moment, then she pestered unwillingly:
"What's so fierce about it? The people in the city are just heartless. They only know how to eat alone and don't know how to respect their elders! What's wrong with you just giving me a bite?"
Annan was annoyed by her hoarse voice.
Who gave her the courage to run up to her and yell at her?
An Nan was about to raise her leg to kick her, but Fugui took the initiative and bit her calf.
The old woman immediately howled in pain, shouting like a pig being slaughtered.
"Ahhh! Help! The evil dog is eating people!!"
At this moment, the corridor door on the fourteenth floor suddenly opened.
Chu Peipei looked over with surprise: "Nannan! You're back!"
Annan smiled and was about to speak when Gouzi suddenly let go of the old woman's legs and rushed towards her neck.
Seeing this, Chu Peipei hurriedly shouted nervously: "Save your life!"
Annan immediately grabbed Fugui.
Fugui looked at his master in confusion, then retreated obediently.
The old woman finally breathed a sigh of relief, fell to the ground, and cried while covering her wound.
"Rebellion! Rebellion! The evil dog is biting!"
An Nan ignored her and turned to Chu Peipei and asked, "Do you know her?"
Chu Peipei nodded with a complicated expression, then walked over and asked the old woman, "Mom, are you okay?"
Mom?!
Annan was shocked: "Is this your mother?"
How could Chu Peipei, who is so gentle and kind, have such a naughty and uncivilized mother?
Then she thought again, that’s not right, she remembered Chu Peipei said that her parents had died a long time ago?
Chu Peipei helped the old woman up while explaining to Annan: "This is Jiadong's mother, my mother-in-law."
Annan smacked his lips in reaction for a moment.
Oh, it’s a buzz cut.
The old woman stood up, still shouting:
"I, Li Guifen, have lived for fifty years, and I have never seen a girl as rude as you. You actually let your dog bite people! In our village, such beasts that bite people must be beaten to death with a stick!"
Chu Peipei frowned: "Mom! Speak less!"
"Bah! Who is your mother, you little bitch? You all know each other, it must be you who instigated it..."
Li Guifen was still there, spouting sweet words. Chu Peipei glanced at Annan apologetically:
"Nannan, go back first. I'll come find you later."
Annan frowned and looked at the old woman, nodded to Chu Peipei, and went upstairs with Fugui.
Before Fugui left, he bared his teeth and growled twice at the yelling old woman.
Li Guifen was so frightened that she shrank her neck, then looked at the dog leash and raised her voice a few degrees.
"How dare you, you low-level beast, bare your teeth at me!"
A cold light flashed across Annan's eyes.
For Chu Peipei's sake, she didn't lose her temper for the time being and walked in with the dog.
When they got home, they could still vaguely hear the old woman cursing outside the door. Annan turned a deaf ear to her, poured some food for Fugui, and then started cleaning the room.
The room had been unoccupied for a long time, and there was a thin layer of dust in it.
After Gouzi had almost finished eating and Annan had finished cleaning, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Peipei looked tired: "I'm sorry, Nannan, my mother-in-law is unreasonable."
Annan was puzzled: "Why did your mother-in-law come here suddenly?"
Chu Peipei sighed: "It's a long story."
The two came to 1401, Chu Peipei brought Annan a bowl of mung bean soup, and then told him about what had happened during this period.
It turned out that the day after Annan left, Chu Peipei's evil mother-in-law came to visit.
Pepe's husband, whose real name is Zhang Jiadong, is the eldest son in the family. He has a younger brother, Zhang Xiaobao, who is seven years younger than him. The family lives in a village in the mountains.
He had excellent grades, but his family was poor and his parents favored the youngest son, so they kept forcing him to give up his studies and go out to work to earn money to support his younger brother's education.
But he did not compromise. He secretly packed his luggage, took the admission letter and went to Linbei University to report, and worked part-time to support himself through college.
After graduation, he found a stable job and successfully stayed in Linbei City. Later, he and Chu Peipei worked hard together, bought a house and a car, and lived a happy and loving life.
The only problem in the couple's life is their parents with a buzz cut.
Over the years, he has sent a lot of his salary back home, but the old couple always complain that it is not enough to spend.
They spoiled their youngest son to the point of being ignorant and uneducated, and he spent money lavishly. No matter how much money was sent to him, it was like going into a bottomless pit.
So in order to get more money, the old couple simply asked to move to the city and live with the young couple.
Li Guifen was a domineering person and had no feelings for his eldest son, often beating or scolding him. The short-haired man was afraid that Chu Peipei would suffer with him, so he firmly refused to agree, and the quarrel lasted for several years.
Until the natural disaster struck, the two families completely lost contact, and Shorthead also died. The old couple and their brother-in-law were lucky because the village was located on high ground and was not flooded.
At that time they sighed every day, thank goodness they did not move to the city, otherwise they would have been drowned. But they did not expect that after the flood, the weather would be extremely hot again.
In a backward and impoverished village in the mountains, there was no air conditioning. They could only endure the hardship. The crops were completely destroyed, and the livestock and poultry also died.
The village gradually became chaotic. The neighbors who used to be friendly with each other covered their faces with rags, and became different people, carrying hoes and robbing each other.
The temperature was as high as 50 or 60 degrees, and there were frequent fights. Many people suffered from heat stroke, and the father of the man with a short hair also died.
Li Guifen and Zhang Xiaobao, mother and son, were left with no way out, so they had to go down the mountain to seek refuge with their eldest son.
