Chapter 48 A big fight and a flying kitchen knife
"I gave her two dollars, but she's still not satisfied. She's a vampire." Che Lijuan was very dissatisfied. It would have been fine if Jiang Yuqin had just gone to her mother and Uncle Jin, but she also kept going to her.
"She's out of work now, not making any money, and she's worried," Jin Manzhi said. "Don't bother with her."
"Mom, if my mother-in-law knew she kept coming to me like this, she'd be upset," Che Lijuan said. "How can I find her a job? How would I know of a good one? Mom, can you recommend a job for her?"
"This..." Jin Manyi certainly didn't have any good job to recommend, so she looked at her husband.
"I can't help it," Che Dongshu said bluntly. He didn't want to be bothered by Jiang Yuqin, nor did he want to help her with so many things. In Che Dongshu's opinion, it should be Uncle Jin who should help Jiang Yuqin, as Jiang Yuqin was Uncle Jin's biological daughter. "I'm just in charge of logistics."
Che Dongshu was indeed a minor leader at the company, but others didn't buy his ideas, so he had no way of getting Jiang Yuqin hired. If Che Dongshu could have arranged it, he could have arranged for all his family and relatives to work at the company. He wouldn't have needed anyone to tell him; he would have just done it.
"Then what should I do?" Che Lijuan asked, "You can't really let me go find my mother-in-law and the others?"
"When did Yuqin say she would come to see you?" Jin Manyi asked.
"A week," Che Lijuan said. "Mom, I really don't want to go back to my mother-in-law. We helped Jiang Yuqin get things done this time, but what about next time? Will she think my in-laws are capable and that we can definitely help her get things done?"
Che Lijuan felt depressed just thinking about it. She had no status in front of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law always looked at her with a bad look. Che Lijuan didn't dare to let more family members come over, and she had to behave better in front of her mother-in-law.
"Don't be impatient, think of a solution first." Jin Manzhi said, "What about my son-in-law? Can he make arrangements?"
"I haven't told him yet. If I did, he would definitely be upset," Che Lijuan said irritably. "My in-laws have long told me to limit my contact with Jiang Yuqin. They asked me who Jiang Yuqin's biological father was, and I said I didn't know."
Che Lijuan didn’t know whether her in-laws really believed what she said. Maybe they didn’t, but as long as they didn’t pursue the matter further and didn’t ask any more questions, that was good enough.
Jiang Yuqin forced Che Lijuan to find her a job so that she could take care of the children easily after she returned.
A new day came. Wang Chunfen went to find Jiang Yuqin, but Jiang Yuqin was no longer pasting firewood boxes.
"Not doing it anymore?" Wang Chunfen asked.
"No." Jiang Yuqin said, "It's sticky and difficult to do, and the child is still here. What about you? Don't you have anything to do today?"
"I had an argument with a customer yesterday," Wang Chunfen sighed. "After I cleaned up for them, the old lady said she could do it better than me and it wouldn't cost as much. It took me four hours, but she could finish it in less than two. She insisted on only paying for the two hours. Her daughter-in-law wanted to pay, but she refused and insisted on taking the money away. We argued for a while."
Wang Chunfen was very angry and thought that the daughter-in-law was just pretending. She took half of the money and waited downstairs for a while, wondering if the daughter-in-law would come downstairs to give her the money. But she didn't.
"This morning, I went there on purpose, thinking of asking the daughter-in-law to give me money when she was buying vegetables. Guess what she did?" Wang Chunfen said.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuqin asked in confusion.
"She said she had already given me the money yesterday, and I agreed to it myself," Wang Chunfen sneered. "How could I have agreed to it? She was the one who insisted that I leave first. If I didn't leave first, what else could I do? Why am I still standing there, arguing with them? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are just playing a double game, refusing to pay."
"If you don't get the money, what are you going to do?" Jiang Yuqin asked, "Do you want to go again?"
"It was useless in the past. People just wouldn't pay," Wang Chunfen said. "They even said they wanted to let everyone know I wasn't doing my housework properly and wouldn't let anyone come to me. I was speechless. They really have no shame. They just did it casually and it wouldn't take that long. But if I did it more carefully and cleaned every room and kitchen of their family, how could it not take that long?"
Wang Chunfen couldn't stand the thought of her mother-in-law staring at her while she was cleaning. It was fine. Since they were paying her, they should be watching her more closely. They were paying by the hour, and they were worried she was playing around. If that happened, their money would be wasted. Wang Chunfen could tolerate those people staring at her, but to withhold her money like that was excessive.
"Where's the middleman? Didn't an introducer arrange for you to do the job?" Jiang Yuqin frowned. "Didn't the introducer help you get the money back?"
"If I can't get it back, the worst that can happen is that I won't assign anyone to do the work for this family next time," Wang Chunfen said. "The elderly in the family don't agree to pay, but the young people still have the nerve to do that. They insist on saying that I already agreed and that the money is good enough. They say that I didn't clean their house well and that there are still many things I haven't done well."
When Wang Chunfen returned home and told her husband about this, he told her not to go. It was impossible for Wang Chunfen to stop working. Without work, she would have no money at home and would have to spend money every day.
"Doing housework is really hard. Others treat us as inferior," Wang Chunfen said. "Some people even talk about how maids used to be in landlords' houses... What era is this? I do housework and clean for people, but I'm not a maid in a landlord's house."
"Don't be angry." Jiang Yuqin said, "If it's hard to do, don't do it."
"It's not easy, but we still have to do it," Wang Chunfen said. "After all, there are still not many people like this."
"It's good that there aren't too many. It would be terrible if I met such people every time." Jiang Yuqin said.
"Some families are nice enough to give you gifts. Those who don't give you gifts will just pay you after you finish your work. I'm afraid of those who have unwanted things but insist on giving them to you and then deduct your money." Wang Chunfen rubbed her brows. After she started working as a housekeeper, she met all kinds of people. Most of them were quite nice, and those who took advantage were very rare. "Now that you're not making matchboxes anymore, what are you going to do?"
Wang Chunfen wanted to ask, "Would you like to help me with housework?" but then decided not to. Wang Chunfen had said something similar before, and Jiang Yuqin didn't like doing this kind of work.
"I've found my sister and am waiting for her to find me a job," Jiang Yuqin said.
"Jiang Moli?" Wang Chunfen subconsciously thought of Jiang Moli.
"It's not her, it's Che Lijuan." Jiang Yuqin said, "She married into a good family, so she's asked to help. She lives such a happy life, she can't help but help her sister."
"Yeah, it would be good to find your sister." Wang Chunfen did not stop Jiang Yuqin from looking for Che Lijuan. She was her biological sister, so why should she stop her?
Wang Chunfen felt that Jiang Yuqin was very lucky. She hadn't suffered much in the Jiang family, and even after she got married, she could still count on her family to help her. If Jiang Yuqin could find a better partner, it would be even more perfect. Ding Chao really wasn't a good match.
After Zhu Zhixuan took a few days off, she finally returned to work. She noticed Jiang Moli still looked unhappy, but she was getting along much better with the other people in her group. Seeing her colleagues happily talking to her and training happily together made her feel even worse.
Zhu Zhixuan thought about how she had been working with those people for several years, and how they were very familiar with Ma Yuwen. Why were they being so nice to Jiang Moli now? Didn't they miss Ma Yuwen who had left? Would they be doing Ma Yuwen justice by doing that?
If Ma Yuwen knew Zhu Zhixuan's thoughts, she would be speechless. Ma Yuwen had taken the initiative to apply for a transfer back to her original unit. Jiang Moli didn't force Ma Yuwen to leave. She simply figured it out on her own. If Ma Yuwen hadn't figured it out on her own, she would still be at the Provincial Little Hundred Flowers, and there would be no need for Zhu Zhixuan to speak up for her.
Jiang Moli didn't care about Zhu Zhixuan. It didn't matter whether Zhu Zhixuan practiced well or rehearsed well.
On weekend nights, Jiang Moli and others will continue to perform, but in South City instead of going to other places.
The base of Yue Opera is originally in this province, but it is a large opera genre. People in other provinces also listen to opera, but the number of listeners is not as large as that in this province.
A colleague saw Zhu Zhixuan staring at Jiang Moli blankly and gently nudged Zhu Zhixuan with his elbow.
"Why are you still staring at Jiang Moli like that? Do you have any complaints about her?" the colleague asked. "Didn't she perform very well? When we were in the capital, I heard people say she sang very well."
"No matter how well she sings, Yuwen is gone." Zhu Zhixuan said.
"..." Upon hearing this, the colleague stopped talking. She knew Zhu Zhixuan and Ma Yuwen had a good relationship, but Ma Yuwen wanted to leave on her own initiative; no one forced her to leave. It wasn't like the company leaders could just give Ma Yuwen a good role just because she said she wanted to leave. In the future, if other people in the company encountered difficulties and also said they wanted to leave, wouldn't the company leaders have to make arrangements for them?
The colleagues are not stupid. If Ma Yuwen wants to leave, the company should let her go. Ma Yuwen is not particularly capable, and the company cannot do without her.
Zhu Zhixuan wanted to say something, but she saw that her colleague had already left. The colleague didn't want to talk to Zhu Zhixuan so much, so she just reminded Zhu Zhixuan that they were just ordinary colleagues, not any other relationship, so why make it so complicated?
The unit leader was very satisfied with Jiang Moli's performance and was thinking about having her perform in new plays later. "Five Daughters Paying Homage to Their Father" was a hit at the beginning of this year and will likely be popular for a while. While this play is still popular, they should perform more and sell more tickets.
On Saturday night, Niu Cuihua and her husband took Zhao Jiaojiao to see a play performed by Jiang Moli. Their youngest son was left with Jiang's mother, who took care of him. Jiang Moli provided the tickets, so Niu Cuihua and her husband didn't need to buy any extra ones.
When Niu Cuihua arrived at the theater, she asked others about the price of the tickets. Her heart ached when she learned how expensive they were. Fortunately, Niu Cuihua and her husband didn't have to pay for the tickets. For a moment, Niu Cuihua wanted to just sell the two tickets and take the money home.
In the end, Niu Cuihua didn't do that. She felt she had a problem. Back then, when Jiang Moli was performing in the graduation play, the school let everyone watch for free, but Niu Cuihua refused to go. Now, it was Jiang Moli who provided the tickets. If Jiang Moli hadn't given them the tickets, Niu Cuihua and her husband would have had to pay for them.
Niu Cuihua felt Jiang Moli's kindness, and she wanted to ease the relationship with Jiang Moli, so she wanted to come and listen to Jiang Moli's singing. Niu Cuihua told Zhao Guodong about it, and Zhao Guodong asked Jiang Moli.
Zhao Guodong hadn't originally intended to ask Jiang Moli for tickets. He could still afford to buy tickets occasionally to see his sister perform. Jiang Moli didn't ask Zhao Guodong to pay. People within the company could get discounts and cheaper tickets. Jiang Moli could afford it. Xiao Baihua tickets were easier to sell, and there weren't many left. Everyone bought them with cash.
In the past, when Jiang Moli was working at the Nancheng Theater, sometimes the tickets were not sold out, and the company would give some tickets to employees, free of charge.
Niu Cuihua and her husband took Zhao Jiaojiao to the theater. Zhao Jiaojiao was young and did not need a ticket, so Niu Cuihua held Zhao Jiaojiao in her arms.
"The show is about to start in the stands. Your aunt is performing." Niu Cuihua said.
Zhao Jiaojiao was carrying the bag Jiang Moli had given her. She had to carry it when she went out. If she wasn't allowed to carry it, she would pout and be very unhappy. Niu Cuihua had no choice but to let Zhao Jiaojiao carry the bag, take out the books, put two cents in it, and two candies.
The show started soon. Zhao Jiaojiao looked at the stage, but she couldn't tell who her aunt was at first.
"That's your aunt." Niu Cuihua whispered to Zhao Jiaojiao, "The one who was singing just now."
"Aunt." Zhao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.
"Keep your voice down." Niu Cuihua said, "Others still want to listen to the opera, just watch."
After the performance, Zhao Jiaojiao said, "Aunt, Aunt."
"Go back with your aunt later." Niu Cuihua said.
Niu Cuihua and his wife took Zhao Jiaojiao to wait for Jiang Moli for a while. Jiang Moli took off her makeup and changed her clothes and came out soon.
Sheng Jiahao came to pick up Jiang Moli. He drove the car himself, so he could take Niu Cuihua and her husband and Zhao Jiaojiao back home together. It was a little late in the evening, so Sheng Jiahao took them out for a midnight snack. Niu Cuihua's youngest son didn't come, so Sheng Jiahao asked them to pack some dumplings and other things.
Since Niu Cuihua and her husband were going to pick up their child, they followed Jiang Moli to the gate of the compound. Sheng Jiahao sent them to their destination, then waved goodbye to Jiang Moli and went back.
"You've come just in time. Take him back. He's been crying for a while now and he insists on having you." Jiang's mother was in a headache. She tried to comfort the child for a long time, but it didn't help much. The child was still sobbing, and Jiang's mother was worried that the child would get hurt from crying and that Niu Cuihua and her husband would be unhappy.
"It's okay, Mom, let's take him back." Niu Cuihua said, "This child just likes to stay by my side. He's a boy, so it's okay for him to cry a few times."
Niu Cuihua and her husband returned with their child, carrying some things. Not only was Zhao Guodong carrying things, but Jiang Moli was carrying things too. Sheng Jiahao had asked them to pack food for Niu Cuihua's son, so he naturally packed some for Jiang's parents as well.
Jiang Moli put the food on the table and said, "Mom, open it and eat. Jiahao just bought it. We have already eaten. We will come back after we finish eating."
"Are you guys going to have a midnight snack?" Jiang's mother opened the food.
"We performed for such a long time last night, I felt a little hungry, so I went to eat." Jiang Moli said.
"Did your partner pay for it?" Jiang's mother asked.
"Of course he paid." Jiang Moli said, "It can't be my brother who paid, nor can it be me who paid. It must be him. He said he was taking us out for a midnight snack. Mom, hurry up and eat, it's still warm."
"Eat, and tell your father to eat quickly too." Jiang's mother chuckled.
Niu Cuihua and her husband took their two children back home. The younger one stopped crying and the older one was happy.
"Your sister's boyfriend is really generous." Niu Cuihua said, "During the midnight snack, he ordered quite a lot of food, and he was very close to your sister."
"That's someone else's stuff." Zhao Guodong said.
"I know, that's someone else's stuff, not ours." Niu Cuihua understood what Zhao Guodong meant. She didn't intend to ask her sister-in-law's boyfriend to give them money, she was just expressing her feelings. Perhaps her husband said that because her previous behavior was not very good. Niu Cuihua knew it herself, so she didn't say that Zhao Guodong shouldn't say that. "Mom," Zhao Jiaojiao said, "Brother hasn't eaten yet."
"Eat it. I'll give it to your brother when we get home." Niu Cuihua said, "You've eaten so much. Don't eat anymore. If you're too full, I'll have to rub your stomach."
Zhao Jiaojiao gently patted her bulging belly. She had indeed eaten a lot. Zhao Jiaojiao sat there and didn't dare to eat much. Jiang Moli even picked up some dumplings for Zhao Jiaojiao, asking her to eat more.
"It's delicious." Zhao Jiaojiao said, "It has meat."
"You only know how to eat meat. What else do you know besides meat?" Niu Cuihua laughed.
"Let's eat together." Zhao Jiaojiao said.
Niu Cuihua rubbed Zhao Jiaojiao's head. Zhao Jiaojiao's cheeks were much fatter than in the countryside. When they were in the countryside, there was not so much food. Niu Cuihua saved as much as possible, as long as everyone was not hungry. After returning to the city, Niu Cuihua had spent a lot of money on food. It was only recently that Niu Cuihua learned to save money and live frugally. She did not buy delicious food like she did when she first returned to the city.
At this time, Miao Guifeng and his wife came back from the train station, and the two groups happened to meet. Niu Cuihua's family was happy, and Miao Guifeng and his wife were not unhappy about taking care of the children, but they were tired.
People on both sides passed each other, and when Niu Cuihua and her husband walked past with their child, Miao Guifeng turned around and looked at Niu Cuihua again.
"Let's go back." Yang Bingrong said.
"I'll be going back soon." Miao Guifeng just saw the smile on Niu Cuihua's face. Niu Cuihua seemed very happy. "Zhao Guodong and his wife seem to be doing well."
"Yes, it's okay." Yang Bingrong said.
"His sister is rich, so when he was short of money, he borrowed from her, and his mother paid him back," Miao Guifeng said. "As for us, we have no choice but to go out and sell roasted sweet potatoes. You work, but you don't make much, and your mother and her family won't help. Our son is their eldest grandson, but they don't value him."
"..." What could Yang Bingrong say? His mother had wanted to send the child away before, so of course it was impossible for his mother to be good to the child.
When Miao Guifeng and his wife returned, Yang's mother still complained that they did not come back earlier.
"Can't you come back earlier? You always come back so late and make so much noise. How can others sleep?" said Yang's mother.
"It's because we have no money. If you gave us money, we wouldn't go out to sell roasted sweet potatoes." Miao Guifeng said, "Niu Cuihua doesn't have to go out to sell roasted sweet potatoes. Her family still rents a house. Her sister-in-law and mother-in-law would help a little. As for you, you just keep telling us to come back early. You want us to earn less money, and you don't give me any subsidies."
"You're disturbing everyone else's rest." Yang's mother said, "How dare you say that?"
"I'm sorry, why shouldn't I be sorry?" Miao Guifeng said, "You've given all your money to your youngest son. If you have the ability, just give it to us."
"We've split up, and we old couple don't live with you. What's the point of giving you money? You should be the one providing for our retirement." Yang's mother said, "You also said that you should go out and make money, and when you make money, you can give us money."
"No money!" Miao Guifeng was unwilling to give any pension money to Yang's mother. She also wanted to keep a tight rein on Yang Bingrong's salary. If Yang Bingrong dared to give the money to Yang's mother, Miao Guifeng would say something.
Yang Bingrong was caught in the middle. He gave most of his money to Miao Guifeng, and the little money he saved was barely enough for himself, and he was reluctant to give it to his parents. When his mother asked him to give her money, he hesitated for a long time and didn't give her any money. Even when he did, he would only give her a few cents, which made his mother even more dissatisfied with Yang Bingrong.
"It's so late, can't we sleep?" Lu Dongxiang said unhappily in the room.
When Mother Yang heard what Lu Dongxiang said, she glared at Miao Guifeng fiercely and said, "Come back earlier next time and don't disturb others' sleep, okay? If you don't, go out and rent a house. And you're talking about Niu Cuihua. She went out to rent a house, so are you going out to rent a house too?"
"This room belongs to us. We're going to live here and we won't move out," Miao Guifeng said. She wouldn't move out even if she was beaten to death. Her household registration is here, and her husband is her mother-in-law's son, so they have to stay here.
When the house is demolished in the future, the demolition compensation will belong to their family. Miao Guifeng cannot let all the demolition compensation fall into the hands of Yang Bingliang and his wife.
"Speak softly." Yang's mother said.
In the room, Lu Dongxiang kicked Yang Bingliang.
"How much money do your brother and sister-in-law make selling roasted sweet potatoes? They always disturb others' rest and don't let them rest properly." Lu Dongxiang asked, "If I get pregnant, how will I take care of myself?"
Lu Dongxiang even wanted to kick Yang Bingrong and his wife out directly. If her eldest brother and sister-in-law weren't living there, there would be a room free. Later, when they had a child, the child could sleep in that room. Lu Dongxiang couldn't bring herself to directly kick them out, but she let on that this was her intention.
"They refuse to move out and insist on living here. My parents can't do anything about it." Yang Bingliang also wanted his elder brother and sister-in-law to move out. His parents stayed with him because he wanted them to take care of them in their old age, so the house should be given to him entirely.
"I don't think your parents can do anything about them. It's just that they don't want your eldest brother and his wife to move out." Lu Dongxiang said, "If your parents really wanted to do that, they would have asked them to move out long ago."
"I don't know when my brother's unit will distribute housing." Yang Bingliang said.
"Your eldest brother has his own house, so how could his company allocate him an apartment?" Lu Dongxiang said, "Your eldest brother and his family have to move out. They rent a house, and the company only allocates it to them when they know they don't have one."
Another morning, Yang Bingliang and Yang Bingrong were out together. He asked Yang Bingrong to stop at an intersection because he had something to say. Yang Bingliang didn't dare to speak in front of Miao Guifeng, fearing she would yell. Miao Guifeng was no longer the virtuous sister-in-law she once was. Yang Bingliang thought she had gone crazy.
"Brother, when will your company allocate housing? You've been living here all this time, so your company won't allocate housing to you." Yang Bingliang said, "Why don't you move out? Maybe your company will allocate housing to you."
"There are still couples living in dormitories at our company who don't have housing yet," Yang Bingrong said. "I applied, but couldn't get a place."
"How will we know if we don't give it a try?" Yang Bingliang said, "What if it works? If you can't get a house, you can move back here."
Yang Bingliang said this on purpose. If his elder brother and his wife really moved out, they would certainly not let them move back.
"I can't decide. I need to discuss it with your sister-in-law." Yang Bingrong said.
"Brother, you are the head of the family, why can't you make the decision? Why do you have to listen to your sister-in-law?" Yang Bingliang said, "Brother, you need to act like a man."
“…”Yang Bingrong still did not agree.
Seeing that Yang Bingrong refused to agree, Yang Bingliang was unhappy. "Brother, ever since you married my sister-in-law, the relationship between us brothers has deteriorated a lot. I'm not trying to cheat you. I'm just thinking how great it would be if you could get a share of the house and have your own house."
"Go to work first." Yang Bingrong said.
In the evening, when Yang Bingrong and Miao Guifeng went to the train station to set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes, Yang Bingrong talked about renting a house and waiting for the allocation of housing.
"No, you can't move out," Miao Guifeng said. In her previous life, the Yang family also forced Yang Bingrong and his wife to rent a house. After Lu Dongxiang gave birth, they made Miao Guifeng take care of her after she gave birth, working like a slave. They took advantage of Miao Guifeng and, believing she was no longer useful, forced her and her husband to move out.
Miao Guifeng simply refused to move out, and only moved out when she had more children and no other options were available. Their household registration was still there, and when the house was demolished, Yang's mother and her family were unwilling to share the compensation with Miao Guifeng and her husband.
"That's the house we deserve," Miao Guifeng said. "Even if we have other children in the future and there's no more room, we still have to live there."
"In this case, the company will not be able to allocate housing to us," said Yang Bingrong.
"Don't count on your unit allocating a house to you." Miao Guifeng said. They didn't get a house allocated by Yang Bingrong's unit in their previous life, let alone in this life.
Yang Bingrong's supervisor said others were in greater difficulty, so the house was allocated to someone else. Miao Guifeng, in her previous life, had another child outside the family planning policy. Yang Bingrong's supervisor said the company had been very kind to him by not firing him, so he shouldn't worry about the house.
Miao Guifeng believed that those reasons were just excuses made up by Yang Bingrong's leader. Yang Bingrong did not give any gifts to the leader and his connections were not strong enough, so the leader did not plan to allocate a house to Yang Bingrong.
"It was your brother who instigated you to move out, wasn't it?" Miao Guifeng gritted her teeth. "I'm telling you, there's no way I'm moving out. Even if you do, I won't. If they insist on me moving out, I'll just grab a stool and hang myself at the door!"
"No." Yang Bingrong didn't expect Miao Guifeng to say that. "No, no."
"Don't try to persuade me slowly." Miao Guifeng said, "Yang Bingrong, you are not your brother's lackey. You have a wife and children."
"My brother was just talking." Yang Bingrong said truthfully.
When Miao Guifeng and her husband returned from selling the roasted sweet potatoes, Miao Guifeng shouted in front of their apartment, "Yang Bingliang, Yang Bingliang, get out of here! You asked your eldest brother to help you borrow so much money, and he paid it back. Now that you're married, you're thinking of kicking us out. Do you want to die?"
Miao Guifeng looked around and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife. If Yang Bingliang didn't open the door, she would use the kitchen knife to chop the door.
Yang Bingrong did not expect Miao Guifeng to do such a thing. He quickly put his son aside and rushed to grab Miao Guifeng.
"Let go, Yang Bingrong, let go." Miao Guifeng said, "Yang Bingrong, are you still a man? You don't even know how to resist when others bully you. Your brother, your mother, your father, all of them only know how to bully you and your child. And you, you just stand there, not daring to fart."
Miao Guifeng's voice was so loud that it disturbed the neighbors. Some people were still awake, and some were woken up by the noise. They simply listened to what Miao Guifeng had to say. After all, they couldn't run to the Yang family to persuade Miao Guifeng to stop making a fuss, so they just listened and let it go.
When Yang Bingliang came out of the room, he saw Miao Guifeng holding a kitchen knife.
"Go back, go back, you go back first." Yang's mother hurriedly said to Yang Bingliang.
Miao Guifeng threw a kitchen knife directly at Yang Bingliang, and the knife fell on the door next to him, scaring Yang Bingliang so much that he dared not move.
"Yang Bingliang, let me tell you, your brother and I can't possibly move out, and don't try to trick him into moving out," Miao Guifeng said. "If you insist on forcing us to move out, then you'll both have to give up your lives and stop living."
Miao Guifeng opened her eyes wide, she was going crazy, she was going to say these words. Miao Guifeng was not afraid of these people, the worst that could happen was death.
"No, no, just don't move." Yang Bingliang was scared. He thought his sister-in-law was just quarreling, but who would have thought that she would directly use a kitchen knife.
Lu Dongxiang hid in the room and did not come out, but she also saw the flying kitchen knife and was shocked.
"Lu Dongxiang, you son of a bitch! You instigated your husband to force us to move out. Why don't you move out?" Miao Guifeng said, "Move out, move your household registration out, and don't live here. You have the guts to instigate your husband, but you don't dare to come out. You only know how to stand behind your man. Sooner or later, your man will be screwed by you!"
Lu Dongxiang didn't dare to go out, she didn't even dare to say much, she was scared. Lu Dongxiang originally thought that her husband would talk to Yang Bingrong and Yang Bingrong would agree, but who knew that this would be the result.
"If we're not doing well, you guys shouldn't expect to do well either." Miao Guifeng said, "At worst, we can die together. If we all die, the Yang family won't need anyone to carry on the family line. Let's just say goodbye."
Jiang Moli heard Miao Guifeng's voice. She rarely wore earplugs when she slept at home. Miao Guifeng and her friends rarely quarreled loudly. If they were a little louder, the neighbors could hear them. Many people didn't like others to hear their quarrels, so they basically didn't quarrel there so late.
Miao Guifeng went crazy, and this was indeed a method. To deal with those shameless and thick-skinned people, one should be ruthless.
I've lived my life over again. If I'm still as foolish as I was in my previous life, and don't know how to resist, then what's the point of rebirth? I've lived another life, so I should just be more relaxed and get to work.
Jiang Moli awakened her past life memories just as she was about to graduate from Nancheng Art College. Even before she regained her memories, she was still thinking about pursuing her dreams. When she did, she didn't regret her choice. She chose a different path in this life than in her previous one, a new way of living. This was the true meaning of time travel.
"You're forcing your brothers to fight over a piece of land every day. Why don't you go and compete with the people outside?"
"If you can't compete with outsiders, compete with your own family."
"How much can we have with these little things at home? Don't you want to look outside?"
"You have no ability, no talent, all you do is borrow money from others, then never pay it back. You ask people to come to your house to collect the debt, and ask your eldest brother to pay it back."
"Bah, I'm putting this on the line today. If you try to force us to death, I'll drag you down with me to hell."
"When we get to hell, let the judge judge and decide who is to blame."
…
Miao Guifeng was cursing over there. Even if her child was woken up, she would still curse and would not give these people any face.
Yang Bingliang hurried into the room and stopped talking, letting Miao Guifeng continue to scold him. Mother Yang was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything else, let alone Father Yang.
Yang Bingliang closed the door and locked it. He and Lu Dongxiang hid in the corner of the bed.
"Why did your mother marry such a vicious woman to your eldest brother?" Lu Dongxiang felt that she had married the wrong person, but she was already married. "If you make her unhappy, she will scold you like this. That kitchen knife was about to fly at you just now."
"Maybe it's because my eldest sister-in-law didn't ask for much dowry." Yang Bingliang didn't know why his mother chose to marry such a wife for his eldest brother.
In the past, Yang Bingliang thought his sister-in-law was very capable. She could cook and clean. When he was short of money, he would ask his brother for money, and his sister-in-law would not say anything. But everything changed after his sister-in-law gave birth to a child.
Yang Bingliang believed that his mother was right to send the child away. Unfortunately, his mother's actions were discovered by his sister-in-law. If she hadn't been discovered, it would have been much better. If she hadn't been discovered, his sister-in-law would probably have done more of those things and wouldn't have thought about dividing the family.
"Nothing is good at all!" Lu Dongxiang said, "She's a country girl who just wants to marry into the city."
"Lu Dongxiang, are you saying bad things about me? Don't think I don't know what you are saying just because you are hiding in the house and speaking quietly."
"You and your man are not good people. Don't talk about it behind my back. Come and tell me in front of me."
"I'm just sitting here and listening to you."
"Come out, come out and tell me."
…
When Lu Dongxiang heard what Miao Guifeng said, she had to shut her mouth. She was really afraid that Miao Guifeng would kick the door of their room open and rush in with a kitchen knife again.
"Lu Dongxiang, I know you're not asleep, don't pretend to be asleep over there."
"You didn't say a word, so you just assumed you didn't do those disgusting things?"
"Shameless, your own man is incompetent, yet you steal other people's things."
…
If Miao Guifeng hadn't thrown the kitchen knife before, maybe Lu Dongxiang would have gone out. But now, Lu Dongxiang didn't dare to go out. She let Miao Guifeng say those words, and she didn't dare to step out of the door.
Miao Guifeng cursed for over half an hour before finally stopping. During this time, she even had Yang Bingrong stuff cotton into her son's ears to prevent him from listening. Miao Guifeng was afraid of scaring her son, but if he became timid, these people would become arrogant.
Miao Guifeng had suffered enough in her previous life. She could not endure those sufferings again in this life, nor could she let her son suffer.
Some people kept waiting for Miao Guifeng to stop. When she really stopped, they wondered why she didn't continue. She continued to curse, and cursed a few more times. They were all woken up and didn't care about this moment.
Yang Bingrong tried several times to persuade Miao Guifeng to stop scolding and let her take a break, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Miao Guifeng would turn around and continue scolding him. It would be better to let his wife scold Yang Bingliang and his wife.
Miao Guifeng tidied herself up and went back to her room. Before going to bed, she wanted to say a few words to Yang Bingrong.
"You're such a fool. You didn't say anything after being bullied like that, and you left me to talk alone." Miao Guifeng asked, "Why did I marry you?"
Miao Guifeng regretted marrying Yang Bingrong, but she had already done it. Miao Guifeng had no plans to divorce Yang Bingrong. After the divorce, she had nowhere to go. Yang Bingrong had already separated from the Yang family, which showed that Yang Bingrong still had them in his heart. Miao Guifeng could only think about reforming Yang Bingrong and making him more sympathetic to them. Miao Guifeng was also thinking about whether she should give birth to the daughters from her previous life, as those daughters could still help her son.
Early in the morning, many people knew that Miao Guifeng and the Yang family had quarreled again. Miao Guifeng and her in-laws had a big quarrel every five days and a small quarrel every three days. The quarrels were so frequent that it just depended on whether they happened during the day or at night.
Niu Cuihua heard that Miao Guifeng had quarreled with the Yang family, but she hadn't heard anything the previous night. After all, the house Niu Cuihua and her husband rented was still some distance from the main compound, and Miao Guifeng's voice wasn't loud enough to carry that far.
"Don't be like Miao Guifeng. What's the point in making a scene? The more you make a scene, the more her in-laws will look down on you and the less likely they will help you." A neighbor said to Niu Cuihua, "You're just having a good time, but you won't gain anything."
