Chapter 35 Mother-in-law comes home for no reason!
The people of Taijia Village, young and old, were obedient. They held the little goodies at home tightly, like mice entering a granary, so happy that they almost woke up laughing in their sleep.
Of course, more people were planning to follow Tai Jiye into the city early next year so that they could earn more food and silver.
The daughters-in-law of each family finally had rice to cook, and they no longer had to worry about it, and they no longer had to drink the water used to wash the pot to satisfy their hunger.
But for some reason, they began to miss their mother's home again, wondering whether their biological parents could also have a bowl of hot porridge.
I have to say that human nature is greedy. If you don’t have something, you want it. If you have something, you want more.
However, they were just thinking about it.
The mother-in-law at home was very cautious and would count every grain of rice in the pot, giving them no chance to secretly give money to her parents' home.
Unfortunately, what is coming has come.
Early that day, Uncle Tai Sanye cooked sorghum rice porridge at home. Sitting around a plate of pickled vegetables, young and old ate while talking about the day's work.
After eating a few full meals, the little grandson became irritable and started pulling at his mother's clothes and making a fuss.
"Mother, I won't eat sorghum porridge. It won't make me feel full except for peeing."
Hehua had been beaten twice before and behaved well at home for a while.
But now that her husband had gone to the city to work and had returned with food and money, she began to become cocky again.
She slurped her porridge and casually asked her son, "You don't want porridge? What do you want to eat? Sorghum rice? I'll make it for you at noon! Your father worked hard for more than ten days and earned so much good things. There's no reason to let your only son go hungry!"
The snotty kid suddenly perked up and shouted, "Mom, I want to eat dumplings, white flour dumplings! Sixth Grandpa has them at home, I want some too!"
Without thinking, He Hua shouted to her sister-in-law who was in charge of cooking at home, "Sister-in-law, let's make white flour dumplings too!"
Unfortunately, the sister-in-law lowered her head and ignored her.
Lotus was unhappy and wanted to say something, but her husband kicked her to the ground. The boy who was shouting for dumplings also fell on his mother with a thud.
"Who gave you the nerve to ask for white flour dumplings? Whatever money and food I brought back belonged to my family, so you have no right to speak! And you think the sorghum porridge isn't filling enough? Then don't drink it!"
Tai Jicai cursed without mercy and kicked with great pleasure.
Mr. Tai Sanye's expression finally looked much better, and even the other brothers and sisters-in-law didn't dare to say anything.
But Lotus refused to do it!
What's wrong with her just wanting to eat dumplings with her son?
Her family lives much better than Uncle Six's family. Uncle Six's family can eat, so why can't her family?
She was about to howl at the top of her lungs, but Tai Jicai spoke again.
"If you dare to make trouble again and bring shame to the family, I'll divorce you! Jiye said that next year's ice sculpture business will start at the beginning of winter. Anyone who joins will definitely make more than this year's annual profit. By then, it will be easy for me to marry another young girl!"
These words really hurt Lianhua's heart. She got up immediately and never dared to make trouble again.
Even if her son wanted to cry, she would slap him in the face and make him shrink his neck.
Others watching found it both funny and infuriating, so they just pretended it never happened.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the gate was suddenly pushed open.
An old woman in a tattered cotton-padded jacket cried out, "Lotus, Lotus, I'm starving to death! You're so heartless, you made a fortune and kept silent, enjoying yourself, and then watched me starve to death, right? I gave birth to you because I was in such terrible pain!"
Everyone in the room, young and old, including Mr. Tai San, had a buzzing head and their faces were darker than the bottom of a pot.
The cleverer ones even drank up the sorghum porridge in their bowls in just a few mouthfuls...
In the Tai family yard, Grandpa Tai had just finished his meal and had nothing to do, so he was calling on his sons to build the slide.
As for why, of course it was to make my granddaughter happy.
It was lively in the city before, and the fat girl ran around, smiling all day long.
Now that she has moved back home, the fat girl is confined to the house and looks wilted no matter how you look at her.
It’s better to think of more fun things to do to kill some free time and add some vitality to the yard.
Tai Jizu loves children, Tai Jizong is skillful, and Tai Jiye is eloquent.
Tai Yongan and other guys are great helpers in the work!
They got together and in less than half an hour, the ice slide was completed.
The base is paved with ice, and the accumulated snow is compacted to form a low wall. The high starting point is under the eaves, and the end point is at the gate.
The two boys, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue, took the newly made wooden sled, lay on it, slid down again and again, and shouted with joy.
The old man saw that there was no problem, so he took his grandson down and put his granddaughter, who was wrapped like a cotton ball, on top.
Seeing her brother having fun, Zhuzhu also felt itchy.
But when she sat on the speeding sled, she felt scared.
It slides too fast, so scary!
Her two chubby little hands tried desperately to grab something, but she had no chance at all.
Instead, the sled hit a raised piece of ice and flew up...
"Zhuzhu!"
"Hurry up, keep going!"
Grandpa Tai and others were also startled. Why did the sled become disobedient when it was under the fat girl's butt?
Unfortunately, there was no one guarding the gate of the courtyard, and no matter how worried we were, it was too late to rescue them.
Fortunately, Mr. Tai San opened the door and walked in. Suddenly, he saw a round object flying towards him, and he hugged it tightly in his arms.
Zhuzhu opened her mouth in fear and stared at Master Tai San. It took a long time for both the old and the child to recover.
"Ouch, ouch, Third Brother! How are you? Did you sprain your waist? Did you stretch your arm?"
Old Man Tai rushed forward, expressing his concern for his elder brother, but his hands swiftly took over his granddaughter.
Mr. Tai shook his arms and asked, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Haha, I have nothing to do, so I play with the kids." Grandpa Tai laughed and didn't dare to let his granddaughter fly around again, so he led the old brother into the house to drink hot water.
Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang were doing needlework in the house. When they saw Mr. Tai San coming, they quickly put down the winnowing basket and went to boil water to wash dishes.
Grandpa Tai held his fat granddaughter in his arms and carefully combed her hair, fearing that she had been frightened to death.
Seeing this, Yang Lihua said, "Dad, let Zhuzhu play by herself. She's so fat, and you must be tired holding her all day."
Grandpa Tai coughed dryly twice, and it was hard to explain why he almost threw his granddaughter to the ground. So he waved his hand and replied, "It's okay, Zhuzhu, just kiss me. It's okay for me to hold her for a while longer."
After that, he changed the subject and asked Mr. Tai, "Brother, have you eaten yet? But do you have something to talk to me about?"
Mr. Tai Sanye had a strange expression on his face and replied, "Don't mention it. There's a commotion going on at home. I'm tired of it, so I'm going out for a walk."
Old Master Tai was surprised and asked, "Is Jicai's wife acting weird again?"
Master Tai sighed, "If she had just made trouble, Jicai would have been able to deal with her. But this time it was Jicai's mother-in-law who showed up!"
Mr. Tai and others all frowned.
They had naturally heard of the name of the shrew He Hua Niang, but what was more troublesome was another person from the same village as her, Liu Dong Niang's mother!
