Chapter 006: Pulling hair and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Sun Hongmei was angry. Although she disliked the grandchildren, it was a happy event in the family after all. She dressed herself up neatly early in the morning and sat at home waiting for the neighbors to come.

As a result, she waited from early morning until the sun was high, and then sat in the inner room until the gate of the courtyard, but only a few people came. After asking, she found out that they had all gone to Lin Yue's place.

She was so angry. In the past, she was the one who took care of all the matters in the family, no matter big or small. She was also the one who sent people out when there was trouble. Why did these people send gifts to her family now, but they sent them to Lin Yue?

The more Sun Hongmei thought about it, the angrier she became. She wanted to go to Lin Yue's house right away to ask these people. How could this be possible?

But she also knew that she had handled the division of the family business disgracefully, and she was afraid that the group of people would gather together today and make trouble about it, so she refrained from making trouble.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Secretary Liu's wife Miao Lanfang came to tell her that yesterday afternoon, Principal Xu went to Secretary Liu to ask about Lin Yue's situation in the village, and said that she was a military dependent and that if anything happened, the higher-ups would come to investigate.

After listening to Principal Xu's advice, Secretary Liu felt a little scared. He knew too well what kind of life this young wife had lived after she got married. He knew that his wife was close to Sun Hongmei, so he specifically asked her to warn Sun Hongmei not to make things too embarrassing.

Miao Lanfang was afraid that there would be too many people at Sun Hongmei's house this morning and it would be inconvenient for others to hear, so she waited until the afternoon to tell her.

It was originally well-intentioned, but who knew that what Sun Hongmei could not stand the most was Xu Enyuan saying bad things about her. She finally controlled her temper and sent Miao Lanfang away, but immediately rushed to Lin Yue's house and insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter.

Lin Yue was not happy with her words and said, "How can you talk like that? Stop bringing up other people here!"

Sun Hongmei didn't want to let anyone else hear what she was saying outside. She originally wanted to go inside and ask Lin Yue more questions, but now she didn't care about that anymore and just asked, "Tell me clearly what your relationship with Xu Enyuan is! You've married into my family, why is he still coming over to protect you? Tell me clearly!"

Lin Yue was so angry that he laughed. Did she mean to doubt him and Mr. Xu? He immediately retorted: "What do you mean by dragging Mr. Xu into this? He is old enough to be my father. He came to see me. How can he be as dirty as you say?"

Sun Hongmei didn't care what she explained at all. She just scolded her fiercely, "You are trying to be a daughter of capitalism. Bah! I tell you, you are a loser. I can buy you back with half a bag of food. You still want to be a daughter? Don't you think you have the destiny?"

Her curses were so harsh that Lin Yue couldn't suppress her anger. She didn't have the same respect for her mother-in-law as the original owner did, and she reached out to push her away.

When Sun Hongmei saw her reaching out her hand, she thought she was going to hit her. The original owner's cowardly and easily bullied character was too deeply rooted in people's minds. She couldn't believe that Lin Yue dared to fight with her. She walked forward angrily and grabbed Lin Yue's hair, raising her hand to hit her in the face, cursing non-stop: "You little bitch, you still want to fight with me, you are so rebellious, I will beat you to death today!"

How could Lin Yue let her bully him like this? He grabbed her arm and twisted it away. Sun Hongmei felt pain and had to let go of her hair, but her other hand was still unwilling to hit Lin Yue in the face.

Sun Hongmei was not tall, almost a head shorter than Lin Yue. Lin Yue grabbed both of her hands, and using his height advantage, he held her firmly half a meter away from him, and angrily said, "If you do this again, don't blame me for fighting back!"

This was the scene Wang Xiuxiang saw when she arrived. Lin Yue grabbed her mother-in-law's hand and pushed her out. There was a person standing outside the fence watching the show. It was Widow Liu.

She quickly stepped forward to separate the two, and pulled Lin Yue behind her, and advised Sun Hongmei: "Third aunt, what are you doing? My sister-in-law just gave birth to a child. No matter what the reason is, you can't fight with her at this time!"

Sun Hongmei's hair, which was originally combed sleekly, was now messed up, her face was dark red, and she was breathing heavily. When she saw someone coming, she sat on the ground and began to cry: "Son, please come back soon, your wife wants to beat me to death, it's really against the will of heaven!"

Wang Xiuxiang quickly stepped forward and pulled the person up from the ground: "Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Let's go into the house and talk it over!"

Suddenly, a female voice came from behind: "What's there to say? She just wanted to slander someone, but she was pushed out by her daughter-in-law!"

Then he said contemptuously: "Sister Hongmei, do you think your daughter-in-law is some kind of fairy from heaven? Why don't you take a good look at her? She has no flesh on her body, and she is dark and skinny. How blind must Principal Xu be to like her!"

The person who spoke was Widow Liu. After she finished speaking, she puffed out her chest, with disdain written all over her face.

Lin Yue was stunned by Sun Hongmei's unique way of changing her expression. He originally wanted to ask Wang Xiuxiang to leave her alone, but now that there was something exciting to watch, he didn't mind that Widow Liu had seriously injured herself, so he pulled Wang Xiuxiang over and stood at the door to watch the excitement.

Sun Hongmei saw that Widow Liu was laughing at her and was so angry that she pointed at her nose and cursed: "You shameless slut who only knows how to drill into men's crotches all day long, what do you have to do here? I let you keep yelling!"

Widow Liu was not annoyed. She covered her mouth and smiled, "What's wrong with me getting into men's pants/crotches? That's because I think highly of them. Some losers come to fawn on me every day, but I don't think highly of them. But you are the one I hold in my hands like a treasure!"

Sun Hongmei rushed over and tried to repeat her old trick by tearing her hair, cursing, "Who do you think is trying to curry favor with you? Explain it to me! With a bastard like you, I can smell your stench from five miles away. How can my old man like you?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, people nearby began to gather around. Lin Yue and Wang Xiuxiang looked at each other and hurried forward to try to stop them.

Both women were very strong in fighting. Wang Xiuxiang was afraid of hurting Lin Yue, so she pushed her back and together with Auntie Wang San who had rushed over, pulled the two apart.

Sun Hongmei was still not satisfied and was still struggling with Widow Liu. Widow Liu had a bad reputation, and Wang Xiuxiang and Auntie Wang San were unwilling to have too much physical contact with her, so they both held Sun Hongmei.

At this time, Widow Liu's hair was disheveled, and two buttons of her cotton padded jacket were undone. She had seen many big scenes, and when she saw Sun Hongmei being held, she did not take the opportunity to step forward, but stepped back a few steps.

She reached out and tidied her hair that was messed up by Sun Hongmei. Her tone was soft but her voice was loud enough for everyone who came to watch the excitement to hear clearly: "Sister-in-law Hongmei, you are teaching your daughter-in-law a lesson. That is your family affair. I can't say anything. But it's not good for you to spread rumors about Principal Xu. Principal Xu is an educated youth who came here to support rural construction. He is such a good person. You shouldn't ruin his reputation like this!"

Sun Hongmei cursed: "Bah! Xu Enyuan is a bad capitalist! He should live in the cowshed with those five black categories!"

Widow Liu continued to speak in a gloomy tone: "Hey, I say, you and Principal Xu have never spoken, and your two sons don't go to school in his school. I say, sister-in-law Hongmei, what grudge do you have with Principal Xu that makes you hate him so much? Oh, I see, didn't you always brag that you worked as a servant in a wealthy family and saw the world? Could it be that you were in Principal Xu's house? You didn't want to climb into bed and were kicked out by the master, did you? Oh, brother Zhiwei, the biological father of your eldest son has been found!"

The last sentence was tortuous and tactful, and she was extremely excited. Sun Hongmei was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear her face apart. However, her arms were held, so she could only kick her legs hard.

Many of the people watching the excitement followed the widow's words and cheered, as excited as if they were listening to an opera. However, an elderly woman scolded her, "Enough, enough, what's the point of cheering? I say, Liu Jinfeng, a few words are nothing, but this kind of thing can't be used as a joke, you should at least do something good for your son!"

What Widow Liu hated the most was people talking about her son. She cursed a few words and turned away.

Lin Yue was enjoying the excitement, but then Widow Liu said something that left her dumbfounded: My goodness, Widow Liu is so cruel, she seems to want her lovers to become siblings!

After seeing widow Liu leave, the people watching the excitement slowly dispersed. Zhang Zhiwei, who was hiding in the crowd with his shoulders hunched and his head hunched, was also discovered. Some uncles and aunts approached him and deliberately pushed him and teased him. People thought it was a joke, but Zhang Zhiwei didn't think so. He blushed with irritation. When most people had left, he walked up to Sun Hongmei in two or three steps, dragged her and walked home.

When Sun Hongmei saw her old man, she lost her original dignity. She turned around and glared at Lin Yue fiercely, then followed Zhang Zhiwei obediently.

Wang Xiuxiang is the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Su. She came to bring dinner to Lin Yue. By now everyone had left. She pushed Lin Yue into the house and said, "You are still in confinement after childbirth. It's so cold and you are going out wearing so little. You are standing in a draughty place. What if you get sick? Come in quickly!"

As expected, Aunt Su stewed an old hen for Lin Yue, and Wang Xiuxiang brought out a bowl of chicken soup noodles, which were covered with yellow-orange oil. Lin Yue thought she would find it too greasy to drink, but perhaps her body was too lacking in oil, so she didn't feel sick at all when she drank it, and almost ate up all the soup and noodles.

Auntie Wang San followed the two into the house. Seeing Lin Yue eating so deliciously, she drooled. Fearing that she would be laughed at, she hurriedly asked, "What did your mother-in-law just do? How did she even involve Principal Xu from your mother's village?"

Lin Yue felt that there was nothing left to say, so he explained the whole story.

Wang Xiuxiang was so upset that she couldn't make it. "How could you fight with your mother-in-law? If this gets out, people will laugh at you!"

Auntie Wang San also said, "That's right. Even if your mother-in-law has a thousand faults, you as a daughter-in-law shouldn't be like this. How can a daughter-in-law say bad things about her mother-in-law? You should be filial to your parents-in-law!"

Lin Yue:...Are you serious?

Wang Xiuxiang looked at Aunt Wang San, and had so much to say that she couldn't say anything. She just poked Lin Yue's forehead hard with her fingers a few times.
