Chen Suwen and the others had no intention of helping; they simply watched as the Cheng and Qian families started fighting.
It's best not to meddle in these kinds of "family matters." It's the Cheng family's business of supporting their married sister/sister, and outsiders shouldn't interfere.
If you meddle in other people's business, and then when your own daughter is bullied and you want to seek justice, others will use that as an excuse to brush you off, and that would be terrible.
"Aww—"
A scream rang out, and Liu Cuilian trembled upon hearing it, looking at Qian Zhenhua with a face full of heartache.
"Zhenhua—"
Although Liu Cuilian doted on her eldest grandson Qian Duobao the most, she also cared about her son Qian Zhenhua.
After all, they are the youngest son and eldest grandson, the apple of their parents' eye.
Although Liu Cuilian was very unhappy that her son had married Cheng Lixue, a wife she did not approve of, she still loved her youngest son very much.
"Ouch—Big brother, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
"Big brother, go easy on me! If you kill me, you won't get away with it either!"
"I didn't say I was going to kill you." The eldest brother of the Cheng family struck hard, punching him squarely.
"You treat my sister badly, so I can't hit you?"
"Big brother, I've been very good to Lixue. She doesn't work and relies on me to support her. Haven't I been good enough to her?"
"That's what you should do!"
Men certainly understand men's thoughts better, but Cheng's eldest brother still wanted to stand on his sister's side to get benefits from Qian Zhenhua, so of course he wouldn't "understand" him.
“My sister works so hard, and you won’t even give her a sip of soup. You’re no better than her.”
"You watched your mother bully my sister and you did nothing. What did you say when you married her?"
The Cheng family not only beat Qian Zhenhua, but also his elder brother, and took the opportunity to slap Liu Cuilian and Qian's sister-in-law a few times.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"What do you want to do during the Chinese New Year?"
The neighborhood committee staff arrived late, but a group of people quickly came over and stopped the fight between the two families.
When Chen Suwen saw the people from the neighborhood committee arrive, she knew that the excitement of the day was almost over, and that the fight scene from earlier could not be seen again.
"Aunt Yao, you have to stand up for us! This group of people came to our house and started hitting and robbing us. They're like robbers. It's terrifying!"
Sister-in-law Qian rushed to Yao Huijuan to complain, pointing at the Cheng family and calling them robbers.
"Who stole your things? We were just trying to get justice for my sister," Cheng's younger brother stepped forward to refute Qian's sister-in-law's words.
He looked at Yao Huijuan and her group of street office staff, and asked her righteously, "What? You city people bully other people's daughters, but you won't allow them to come and seek justice?"
“The Qian family treated my sister like a slave, even worse than Zhou Bapi. We just felt sorry for her and came to teach them a lesson.”
"What? Are we wrong to do this? Or is this how you city people enslave your daughters-in-law? You don't allow the daughters-in-law's family to come and support them?"
Yao Huijuan and the others' expressions changed, and they looked at Liu Cuilian and Qian's eldest sister-in-law with expressions of disappointment and frustration.
What happened?
Are you enslaving people by not giving them food, not even a bite of meat? Not even a drop of soup?
"I know I come from the countryside, and everyone looks down on me, but I am proud to be a poor peasant! I am honored!"
"After I married into the Qian family, I did all the housework, both inside and outside the house. I was good at the most basic things like washing clothes and cooking. I even washed my father-in-law's and my child's brother-in-law's underwear..."
Cheng Lixue's voice lowered slightly as she said this, but she continued, "I also washed my mother-in-law's and sister-in-law's menstrual pads."
"I did all this work, and they wouldn't even let me drink the soup from the boiled chicken during the Lunar New Year, saying I didn't deserve to be at the table..."
"We even cooked meat porridge and seafood porridge at home, but my daughter didn't get a single bite..."
"I'm not reconciled."
Cheng Lixue started crying as she spoke.
People sympathize with the weak. Although Cheng Lixue's brothers are very arrogant, she herself is very "weak".
She's such a vulnerable person, what can she do when her in-laws bully her like this?
If she doesn't ask her brothers from her own family to come and support her, won't she be tormented to death by the Qian family?
What could she have done wrong?
"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Cuilian, do you not have hands? You even have your daughter-in-law wash your menstrual fluids?"
In 1976, sanitary napkins weren't even sold yet, and places like Guangzhou didn't have them either. People mostly used menstrual belts.
In other words, Chen Suwen had stockpiled a lot of sanitary napkins in her personal space, and she had been using them from her space for the past few months.
Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be used to using a menstrual belt.
Some menstrual pads require repeated washing and drying, so hygiene cannot be guaranteed.
Unexpectedly, Liu Cuilian even let her daughter-in-law wash her menstrual blood, such a private matter.
Not only did she not wash her own, but she also made her younger daughter-in-law wash her eldest daughter-in-law's things.
What kind of innocent victim is Cheng Lixue?
Yao Huijuan and the others frowned as they listened to Cheng Lixue talk about things like "menstrual belts" and "washing underwear for her father-in-law and brother-in-law."
The way they looked at the Qian family was also very complicated.
"What's wrong with your family? Do you really think you're capitalists or landlords? How can you enslave your daughter-in-law like this?"
"Oh, Aunt Yao, don't listen to her nonsense. She only washed it once or twice."
