When it was getting dark, Mrs. Zheng thought that the people who were working should be back, so she prepared to go to the kitchen to cook dinner. She asked Zheng Xiaomei to watch over her brother to prevent him from falling off the kang.
Zheng Xiaomei agreed obediently. She didn't go out to play the whole afternoon. She stayed in the house with her mother, jumping around in the house.
At this time, Zheng Ersao sent her two children over and said, "Sister-in-law, let the children play together for a while. I may have something to do over there later. I will come to pick them up after I am done."
"Okay, put it here."
Although the two sisters-in-law didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship, they didn't have any conflicts of interest and, to some extent, they were a community of interests. They were both hardworking and had gotten along quite well over the years. Previously, they had been planning to plot against the third brother's family, but now, thinking about it, they felt a little ashamed.
Fortunately, Xu Wumei did not marry into the family. If she had, the two of them would have been accomplices in oppression.
The women in the village are all working hard to learn and improve themselves, and trying every possible way to develop their careers. They all look cheerful and motivated, but they use shameful little tricks to scheme against others, which is really hard to talk about.
Mrs. Zheng said to Zheng Xiaomei and Zheng Xiaoju, "You two should keep an eye on your brother."
"Okay~"
Zheng Xiaomei and Zheng Xiaoju agreed in a baby voice.
The two sisters-in-law went out together. Zheng Dasao asked Zheng Ersao: "Do you want to boil an egg and roll it on your face? It's a little swollen."
"No need. She hit me. She started it first. I have to keep the evidence."
"Take it easy. She can't beat you, but if you fight with the second brother, you won't be able to beat him."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. For the sake of the child, I won't let anything happen to myself. If I die and he finds a stepmother for the child, how can they live a good life?"
"Just keep it in mind."
☆
Mrs. Zheng Dasao went out to cook, and Mrs. Zheng Ersao returned to her room.
Just as the meal was ready, the three men returned. After washing their hands and faces in the yard, they returned to their rooms to change clothes. After working all afternoon, their bodies were drenched in sweat, and their clothes were sticky, smelly, and covered in dust, like they were covered in starch. They had to be taken off.
Boss Zheng returned to his room, and Sister Zheng followed him back and said to him, "Stay in the room and don't go out."
"What's wrong?"
"You'll find out when you wait and see."
Boss Zheng: "What's so mysterious?"
"Shut up, don't talk, stay here and don't go out."
Boss Zheng: “…”
Zheng Lao Er returned to the room and saw his wife mending his daughter's clothes. He asked with a smile, "It's been an afternoon. Are you not angry anymore?"
Zheng Ersao looked up at him, the coldness and determination in her eyes were obvious. She had practiced this look at home for an entire afternoon, and she felt that this look was the most intimidating.
Zheng Laoer was startled. "No, what's wrong? Are you still angry?"
Zheng Ersao didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Zheng Laoer asked again: "What happened to your face? Who hit you?"
"Your mother beat me!"
Zheng Laoer: "..."
Mrs. Zheng continued, "I'm not one to take a loss. I fought back."
Zheng Laoer: “!!!”
Seeing Zheng Lao Er's mood change, Zheng Ersao sneered, and her plain face unexpectedly showed a bit of evil and madness. Look, this is her husband. When he knew his mother hit her, his expression was all written with "Let's keep the peace, forget it, there's nothing we can do, that's my mother". When he knew she hit back, his face showed "shock"!
Although Zheng Lao Er was surprised, he still couldn't believe it and asked, "What do you mean by fighting back?"
"Hit back means I hit her. She slapped me, and I slapped her back."
"No, how could you hit her? She's my mother!"
"Then why did she hit me? Am I not a human being? Do I deserve to be bullied by her? Should I just stand there and wait for her to hit me? I am your wife, not your family's slave! She is your mother, not my mother! She never gave birth to me, nor did she love me, so why did she hit me?
Zheng Guolin, are you still a human being? I've been married to you for so many years, and when I heard I was beaten, you didn't say a word of concern. But when you heard I beat your mother, you became anxious. There really isn't a single good person in your Zheng family! How could I have been so blind to fall for a thing like you! "
"Keep your voice down!"
"I can't be any smaller!"
Zheng Ersao roared even louder.
Zheng Guolin said, "You have to make such a fuss, don't you? You hit my mom and you think you're right? What daughter-in-law dares to hit her mother-in-law? She's the elder! If this gets out, do you think people will poke you in the back?"
"What's wrong with the elders? Can the elders be unreasonable? Can the elders be so biased? We work so hard every day, and when I asked Lan Ping to do some work, she pointed at my nose and scolded me. Why?"
"Because she's the head of this family, and because we're benefiting from her."
"How did I benefit from her? The work points I earned were enough for my own use. The children are not mine alone, and they don't have my last name. Isn't it right for you to raise your own children? Do I need you to raise me? How did I benefit from her?"
Even if I benefited from it, it was only from the third sister. Did I benefit from hers? How many work points did she earn? The whole family benefited from the third sister. Besides, there was no division of labor in the family. I did the housework, so of course I should share in the family's blessings.
Don't try to play tricks on me. You want me to be grateful because I married into your family and now have a good life and a nice house? You want me to thank your mom, your sister, and your entire eight generations of ancestors, right?
