Chapter 009 Chapter 9 Evil Thoughts
This was the first time that Lin Yue acted like a green tea girl and acted pitiful. She felt that she was overdoing it and got goosebumps all over her body.
She raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears on her face and said aggrievedly: "Although I died once during childbirth, the two children I brought up can only rely on that little goat milk to survive. But you know me, if there is any more goat milk, I will share it all with Xiaoxi even if I have to not give it to the two children." Although she would not do this, the original owner would really do this.
As she spoke, she pulled Zhang Xiaoxi up, half-folded her shoulders and let her face the crowd, gently wiping her tears. "Good child, why are you crying like this? Okay, stop crying. Didn't your sister-in-law give you peanuts? Doesn't your sister-in-law love you the most?"
With the help of the flashlight, everyone could clearly see the little girl who was "wronged and crying sadly on her mother's lap". As Lin Yue expected, Zhang Xiaoxi didn't look like she had cried at all. Her mouth was full of peanuts that she had just taken from her this afternoon. Now that so many people were watching, she closed her mouth tightly and didn't dare to chew.
Sun Hongmei didn't expect Lin Yue to come. She thought Lin Yue lived far away and would definitely not hear anything.
Her original plan was to do it behind Lin Yue's back tonight and ruin her reputation. With her cowardly temper, no one could do anything to her. Now that it was over, who would listen to her explanation?
Sun Hongmei didn't like her eldest son and had no feelings for his children.
She separated from her daughter-in-law because she was not willing to take care of the pregnant woman and she was planning to let her daughter-in-law starve to death. She didn't care if the two children had no milk to drink or would starve to death. She felt relieved if they were not doing well.
But this month, the lives of the mother and her two children have been getting better and better. Not only do they have enough food and drink, but people also visit Lin Yue's home frequently, which was never the case before.
And look at this little bitch, she's become so arrogant after having a child, and she's still pretending to be nice to her. She's going to have to take off her fake face today.
Sun Hongmei became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She stood up and cursed, "You are such a wicked person! Your parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and two brothers-in-law can't even afford to eat at home and will soon be on the verge of starvation, yet you invite so many people to your house to eat and drink all day long. You have so much food, why don't you send some to your parents-in-law? You are so heartless, you are such a cruel daughter-in-law, you just watched us all starve to death!"
Lin Yue's voice immediately became choked again: "Mom, you really have no face to see your daughter-in-law when you say that. Our neighbors just saw that I had just given birth and came to help me. How can you say that! Besides, don't you know how much food we have at home? When the autumn grain was distributed, didn't you go to my house and take away half of the food?"
Sun Hongmei didn't know when her daughter-in-law had become so eloquent. Even though she looked down on her daughter-in-law, she was speechless for a while.
She avoided mentioning the matter of moving food and retorted confidently: "You are blaming me for not going to take care of you during the confinement period. The whole family is waiting for me to take care of them. If I go to take care of you during the confinement period, will the whole family starve? You are such a conscienceless person. You only care about your own comfort and don't care about the lives of others. When I gave birth to Xiaoxi, I didn't even spend a day in confinement. I went to work in the fields. Look around the village, which woman is as hypocritical as you when giving birth?"
Lin Yue choked up and said, "Mom, don't say that. I didn't mean to ask you to take care of me during the confinement period. When I married into this family, I wanted to take good care of you two and take on the responsibilities of a daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. I am usually very filial and have contributed a lot to this family. Everyone in the village can see it..."
Sun Hongmei cursed loudly: "Bullshit, you were clumsy and impatient before the separation, what can I expect from you? Don't talk about filial piety, if we really took your food, would you still be alive today? You say you are filial now, but who has seen you help us with any work when you came back? Tell me, how do you show filial piety to us?"
Lin Yue pretended to be aggrieved and cried louder and clearer: "Mom, you said I was unfilial, but I listened to you in everything. You didn't let me contact Yuandong because I was afraid that you would feel upset. I haven't contacted you even once after being married for so long. Yuandong sent 28 yuan of allowance to our family every month, but I didn't want a penny and let you keep it all. When we divided the family, I thought that this was a way for Yuandong and I to be filial to you two, and I never mentioned the allowance..."
When Sun Hongmei heard her talking about the allowance, she finally got anxious: "You little bitch, I'll spit on your mouth! How can there be so many allowances! How can there be! Stop yelling at me here! You black-hearted bastard, you don't even know how many benefits you have gotten from my son, and now you are even thinking about my retirement money..."
As they were arguing, they heard a roar from outside the crowd: "What are you arguing about? It's so cold standing on the street, aren't you afraid of freezing?"
Everyone looked back and saw the village party secretary Liu Yiliang, the team leader Zhang Zhiqiang and Lin Yue's father-in-law Zhang Zhiwei walking out from the crowd. They were originally chatting in the team headquarters, but when they heard someone say that Sun Hongmei was making trouble on the street, they hurried over.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't know that Sun Hongmei would make such a scene tonight. He didn't even know that his daughter went to his daughter-in-law's house to ask for goat milk. He just heard that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were swearing at each other in the street. He felt ashamed and just wanted to go back and separate the two.
When he got closer, he heard people in the crowd talking about subsidies. He immediately felt something was wrong and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
Nowadays, we are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves targeting us. Everyone's life is hard. If others knew that his family has so much money, it would be disastrous!
Zhang Zhiwei finally squeezed into the crowd and saw someone holding a flashlight, illuminating his wife who was stamping her feet in anger and talking without thinking. His eyes went dark and he didn't care about anything else. He stepped forward, grabbed Sun Hongmei and scolded her to shut up.
Liu Yiliang and Zhang Zhiqiang also squeezed in from the outside of the crowd and scolded, "What are you all doing here? I think we can't let you guys have too much free time. You're all so nervous! And you, Wang Baodong, are you showing off that you have a flashlight at home? Turn it off right now!"
The young man named Wang Baodong didn't take it seriously at all. He smiled and waved the flashlight around, refusing to put it down.
They had no choice but to turn a blind eye to this kind of scoundrel.
Secretary Liu said to Sun Hongmei: "Zhiwei's family, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are a grandmother after all, why are you still so noisy and don't know how to set a good example for the children!"
Sun Hongmei had a good relationship with the wife of the village party secretary. But when she met the team leader and the village party secretary, she felt as if she had suffered some great injustice. She sat down on the ground, slapped her legs, and started crying about her unfilial daughter-in-law.
Aunt Su, the director of the women's department, was also present. She and another aunt were trying to persuade Sun Hongmei to calm down. Sun Hongmei was upset that she favored Lin Yue and had pricked her with her nails several times. And she had just thrown her against the door frame because of a quarrel with Lin Yue. Aunt Su was also furious. Seeing the person she had finally pulled up fall to the ground again, she was so angry that her teeth ached.
Seeing Sun Hongmei's attitude, she was not happy at all and said, "That's enough. You don't mind the cold ground in such a cold weather. You even said your daughter-in-law was unfilial. We didn't know your eldest son sent so much allowance home before. It was all earned by the kid from Far East with his life. His wife and children didn't spend a penny. It all went into your hands. Why are you still not satisfied?"
Sun Hongmei was so angry that she wanted to jump over and cover Su Ximei's mouth, but unfortunately she was held down by Zhang Zhiwei and could only curse non-stop: "Bah! That's the money my son earned. If I don't give it to his parents, how can I give it to a vixen from outside? You want to get a penny from me? No way!"
Zhang Zhiqiang was also unhappy: "How can you talk like that? Is it wrong for us, the cadres, to mediate the conflict for you? Yuan Dong is a soldier who defends the country. You, as a mother, are a military dependent. His wife and children are also military dependents. You can't treat them so harshly. Of course, if you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will see if we can help you solve it."
When Secretary Liu heard the word "military dependents", he remembered what Principal Xu had said to him some time ago. Now that things had come to a head, he couldn't just ignore it. He could only say with concern: "Yes, yes, yes, if you have any difficulties, just tell us. We will all help you think of a solution. Little Gray Wife, don't cry just because you are busy. You speak first!"
Lin Yue had been keeping his head down and not saying anything. Seeing how lively the place was, he couldn't help but start to shout, "What kind of difficulties can there be? She's a new daughter-in-law who has been married for less than a year, and she's still pregnant, but she's been kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law. She has nothing to eat or drink, and she's living in a broken warehouse. You're still asking what difficulties she has? She must be starving to death!"
Lin Yue lowered her head, twisted her clothes with her hands, and said in a good-tempered manner: "There is still food. My parents-in-law left some for me when they went to collect grain. There is still food to eat now." She looked like a little daughter-in-law, but her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.
Sister Jin sat on the wall of her house, watching the excitement for a long time, and now she pinched her throat and said loudly: "This young wife is really good-tempered. Even in such a situation, she still says that she has no difficulties. Lin Yue, don't be shy here. If you have any requests, just ask them. After this village, you and your children will starve to death at home, and people will not remember your kindness at all!"
Sun Hongmei picked up a stone from the ground and threw it fiercely: "Bah! Sister Jin, don't think I can't tell it's you just because you pinch your throat! Who are you pretending to be? Your own family is so poor that even the mice have to avoid it, but you can't stand to see other people's lives being better. You have pink eye disease!"
