Chapter 17 Brothers Revolt
"Yes, sister-in-law, our families should have resisted long ago. What they did is wrong. Since the village doesn't care, we will ask for leave tomorrow and go to the commune to complain. I don't believe that the great Great Xia Kingdom will not give us a place to seek justice."
The third sister-in-law of the Bai family is from the next village. If she hadn't fallen in love with Uncle Bai, I'm afraid Uncle Bai's marriage would have been delayed for an unknown amount of time.
After all, the reputations of the two above are so bad, who would dare to marry their daughter into this family?
She was a strong-willed person. Although her family valued boys over girls, they would not torture their children like the old couple in the Bai family did.
After she got married, her parents-in-law didn't give her anything, but they also didn't ask her for anything.
Even so, she was already very satisfied.
As for her husband's family, they have been bullying them by taking advantage of their status as elders. She has wanted to resist for a long time, but her family is too weak.
Luo Chunhua also cried, "Wow, why is our life so miserable? They say if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, but no matter what, no one is as cold-blooded and ruthless as our family."
All of a sudden, the three sisters-in-law hugged each other and burst into tears, and their men all had expressions of pain on their faces.
"Don't cry, Dad is here today, let's talk this out." Uncle Bai took a deep breath, "Dad, you don't have to enter our three families anymore. We will provide you with pension, but it's only for you. She has nothing to do with us."
Second Uncle Bai pointed at Mrs. Bai and said, "I haven't eaten a single grain of her rice, let alone a sip of her milk. Raising her is her son's job. Dad, do you agree with this?"
Bai Jing was still thinking about her father's salary. When her second uncle said this, she naturally agreed, "I agree."
He strode forward and said, "Grandpa, give me the money. If you don't, I'll take my two uncles and aunts to the commune tomorrow. Don't say we cut off your roots then."
Bai Jing's words were even more intimidating. After all, Old Man Bai and Mrs. Bai knew that she could really do it.
"I, didn't I agree to it?" The old man shrank his neck. "We were just delayed by the second and third brothers. Don't keep talking about going to the commune. We are a family. How can the commune control all our family affairs?"
He reluctantly took out the money and kept shouting, trying to make Bai Jing give up.
"It's not up to you to decide whether the commune will take care of it or not. How do you know if the commune won't take care of it if you don't try?" Bai Jing rolled her eyes at him, and when she saw the money in his hand, she snatched it all away without thinking.
"Why is it only this much?" After six years' salary, no matter how much he spent, this shouldn't be the only amount left, right?
Mrs. Bai was afraid that her old man would let the cat out of the bag, so she immediately yelled, "You have such a big family, don't even bother with it. Your uncle and his family are young and can't work, so they have to rely on this little money to survive. You are such a heartless person, you are trying to force my family to death."
Seeing that she was screaming again, Bai Jing hit her with a stick, making her scream.
"Did I ask you to speak?" Bai Jing pointed at her with the stick in her hand. "Do you have the right to speak here? Don't ask me to remind you of your own mistakes."
"you."
"You piece of shit, shut up! If you keep talking, I'll go get your two sons tomorrow. I'm sure they'd be happy to take the blame for their mother."
She is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. How could she have been so stupid in her previous life?
If this had happened earlier, their families would not have suffered for so many years.
"I don't care. Six years' salary, more than 1,200 yuan. I don't believe it's just a dozen yuan. Tomorrow, if you don't give me 500 yuan, I will smash your house. If you don't believe me, just try it. Anyway, this is a family matter. Let's see who can say anything wrong about me."
Bai Jing put the money into her pocket, then pointed at the two men and threatened them.
The money belongs to her family and no one can embezzle it.
What pension money, what filial piety money, it's all bullshit.
The old man has so many sons, why should he give it to her family only?
You can give, and we can share it equally.
"No, it's really not that much." When the old man heard that she wanted five hundred yuan, his jaw dropped.
He had never seen so much money.
On the contrary, after hearing Bai Jing's words, Mrs. Bai silently calculated her hidden private money in her mind. It was a total of about 800 yuan. She had saved a lot over the years.
But if you offer me 500 as compensation, I’d rather die than give it to you.
"No, I don't have any money."
"Well, let's give it a try. At worst, I can exchange my life for the lives of your family of four. Anyway, I've had enough of this kind of life." Bai Jing didn't believe what they said.
"Now, get out of my house. If I don't see the money tomorrow, I'll go to your house with a knife and see who's afraid of who."
Having said that, Bai Jing drove the two of them down the mountain.
What are you staying for now? To eat?
No.
Not a drop of water was given to them.
When Uncle Bai Er and Uncle Bai San saw their father looking at them for help, they turned their heads away.
"Get out." Seeing them hesitating, Bai Jing yelled again.
"Let's go, let's go." The two of them supported each other and went down the mountain together.
This farce, which was played out under the pretext of family matters, came to an end.
"Uncle, come in." Bai Jing dropped the stick in her hand and went forward to support her mother who was still crying. "Aunt, let's go back to the house and talk."
What Bai Jing didn't see was that her two uncles were trembling after they rebelled against their own father, which showed that they were afraid of their own father from the bottom of their hearts.
If Bai Jing hadn't started it, they would probably still be living a life of hiding from the public for a while.
It was gradually getting dark, a fire was lit in the kitchen, and tung oil lamps were lit in the house.
The three sisters-in-law were still crying, but there was a hint of relief on their faces.
Bai Jing took her second sister to start processing the pheasants she brought back. There were three of them, enough for everyone to have a meal together.
"Uncle Two and Uncle Three are out of water at home. Can you help us fetch some water?" Seeing the two uncles sitting there at a loss, Bai Jing asked them to go and work.
Sure enough, when the two heard it, they immediately stood up and said, "No water, okay, I'll fill the tank."
If the family needs water, they have to go to the well behind the house, which is the place where Bai Jing beat Bai Zizhong.
It’s not far, but it’s up and downhill. Normally, Bai Jing and her friends can’t carry the water themselves, so they have to carry it on a cart.
The bucket for carrying water was made of wood and was very heavy in itself. Adding the weight of the water, no one in the family except her mother could carry such a heavy load of water.
"Then I'll have to trouble Second Uncle and Third Uncle."
Bai Jing moved quickly and put the three chickens into the pot in no time.
When they smelled the fragrance, Second Aunt and Third Aunt realized they had stayed there for too long.
"Sister-in-law, we must be tough in the future and not let others bully us anymore. Xiaojing is right, they are the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as we are tough, they will not dare to bully us anymore." Aunt Bai wiped the tears from her face and said with a smile.
Third Aunt Bai also agreed. "That's right, if Big Brother wants to be filial, that's his business. We won't follow him from now on. Sister-in-law, you still have to keep an eye on him. If you really can't control him, you two can just separate." Third Aunt Bai was a strong-minded person.
If it weren't for her own man, she would have fought with her in-laws long ago.
