When talking about the fact that the eldest family had a hard time, Zhang Xiufang couldn't hide the pride on her face.
She had long been fed up with Liu Xiaolan.
Now the situation at home has become even worse and there is absolutely no hope for it.
Zhang Xiufang was not satisfied with chatting with passers-by, so she ran to the door of the main room, wanting to see their jokes.
At this time, in the yard of the main house, Xu Mo's elder and second sisters-in-law were washing wild vegetables.
They returned early after receiving the pork, so they only knew what happened in the threshing ground from the villagers who passed by.
Zhang Xiufang leaned against the door and said to the two people in the yard, "You will have another sister-in-law. When the time comes, Xu Mo will no longer live in the shabby thatched house in the back. He will definitely move back to his own house, and you will not be able to occupy Xu Mo's room anymore.
Alas! You are so pitiful. You married the wrong man, your mother-in-law is vicious, and you have no house to live in. If I had to live like this, I would not be able to survive.
Look at my daughter-in-law, she doesn’t have to do anything and lives a fulfilling life. Our family is getting better and better. And then look at your family, ah…”
Zhang Xiufang let out a long sigh, "This is really retribution!"
She was talking to herself at the gate of the courtyard, and no one paid any attention to her.
Second sister-in-law Li Ermei washed the wild vegetables, picked up the washing basin and rushed towards the door.
"Pah, where did this stray dog come from to bark at the door? It's really unlucky."
"Ah! You don't have eyes! You splashed water all over me."
Zhang Xiufang was so angry that she jumped up and down, and the basin of water splashed over her from head to toe, soaking her whole body.
"I'm the one who's to blame. You're disrespectful, immoral, and heartless. Your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all rotten. You old thing, why don't you die soon? You're a nuisance if you stay in this world. You're a nuisance."
Li Ermei is also a hot-tempered person. She will directly start to attack anyone who dares to provoke her, no matter if the other person is her aunt or uncle. As long as she is upset, she will start to attack them directly.
But she also has a soft spot. Her mother-in-law Liu Xiaolan is more ferocious than her, and she is afraid of her!
"I'm your aunt, you dare to scold me, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Second Aunt? I think the dog the captain raises is friendlier than you. You always bully our second wife and say bad things about her to others. You look like a villain in power. It's disgusting to look at. I tell you, if you say one more bad thing about our family, I will slap you in the face."
Sister-in-law Zhou Ying didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she quickly grabbed Li Ermei's arm and asked her to say less.
"Don't pull me. A kind person is often bullied, and a kind horse is often ridden. The more we give in, the more these black-hearted people will become. I will scold her."
"Well said, whoever dares to bully us will be taught a lesson."
Liu Xiaolan had already heard everything that happened in the house while she was outside.
Her second sister-in-law is sarcastic, stingy and not an easy person to deal with.
Liu Xiaolan walked to the door, grabbed Zhang Xiufang by the back of the collar and pushed her to the ground.
"Get out of here! If you hang around my door again, I'll make sure you don't come back."
"Just wait, I'll ask Jianguo (Xu Mo's second uncle) to take care of you."
Zhang Xiufang is only good at talking, and if a fight breaks out, anyone can slap her in the face.
So, he could only run back to his room in shame.
"Bah, a disgusting thing." Liu Xiaolan spat and walked into the kitchen.
"The second son's family performed well today, and the third son is finally getting married. Mother is very happy. We will cook meat and eat white flour steamed buns for lunch today."
Liu Xiaolan happily took out a piece of wild boar, opened the cupboard, scooped a spoonful of flour, and started kneading the flour to make steamed buns.
The eldest sister-in-law Zhou Ying and the second sister-in-law Li Ermei looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
Li Ermei winked at Zhou Ying: Go ask mother if Shen Jiaojiao is going to marry into our family?
Zhou Ying shook his head, looking hesitant: I don’t dare, but you are brave, so you go!
Li Ermei rolled her eyes: Shy.
Thinking that she had to rely on herself, she cleared her throat and asked, "Mom, is Shen Jiaojiao really going to marry into our family?"
"Yeah." Liu Xiaolan hummed expressionlessly, then looked at the two of them, "I'm telling you, the third sister is finally getting married, and when Shen Zhiqing gets married, you are not allowed to bully her and must be nice to her.
If she gets wronged at home and doesn't want to be with the third brother anymore, I will skin you alive."
Li Ermei pursed her lips and said, "You're already showing partiality before we even get in the door..."
"What are you talking about? You are the only one who likes to gossip all day long. If you talk too much, you won't be able to eat lunch. Come and light a fire."
Zhou Ying quickly pulled Li Ermei and said, "Stop talking."
Li Ermei waved her hand and shook Zhou Ying off, saying angrily, "You only know how to be a good person, you are so stupid."
After cursing, he left the kitchen.
Zhou Ying didn't care, walked to the earthen stove, sat down and started to light a fire.
Liu Xiaolan glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and rolled her eyes in disdain.
"With your personality, it would be strange if you weren't bullied!"
Zhou Ying chuckled, "Suffering a loss is a blessing."
Shen Jiaojiao returned to the Youth League Institute and rushed directly to Ye Huan's dormitory.
The dormitory for educated youth was a large dormitory with ten people sleeping on one kang.
The room is only seven or eight square meters in total, so you can imagine how crowded it is.
It was summer, and the room was hot and stuffy, with no fan. Everyone was sweating, and the smell spread, becoming extremely unpleasant.
The women's dormitory is better. After all, women like to keep things cleaner than men.
When summer comes, the men's dormitory smells like fermented rotten sweet potatoes, the smell of toes, the smell of unwashed pants, the smell of cigarettes... when mixed together it is particularly unpleasant.
It was around 10:30 in the morning, and the educated youth had begun to prepare dinner.
Usually, a few people who get along well with each other cook together.
After all, for something like a cast iron pot, it is still a luxury for one person to buy one.
So cooking together solves this problem.
Shen Jiaojiao arrived at Ye Huan's dormitory.
Before anyone in the room could react, Shen Jiaojiao directly pulled out all the bedding, blanket, and mat on Ye Huan's bed, as well as all the clothes in the box.
There is also a cooking pot, which is also ready to be taken away.
Ye Huan had her period today, and her knees were rubbed raw by Xu Mo who pushed her to the ground. She felt uncomfortable all over.
So as soon as she came back from the threshing floor, she lay down on the bed exhausted.
When Shen Jiaojiao came to steal her things, she screamed and immediately climbed out of bed.
"Jiaojiao, what are you doing? What are you doing with my bedding and clothes?"
Shen Jiaojiao looked at her coldly, "I bought all these with my money. You can either use the money to buy them back. If you don't have money, I will take everything back."
"Shen Jiaojiao, don't go too far." Ye Huan also got angry and yelled at Shen Jiaojiao.
