"Mother, please don't be angry. If you ask me, this is all my third sister-in-law's fault."
Yang Juhua patted herself off; the old woman had smelled terrible, like an old person.
This Wang woman was lazy and slovenly, didn't like to bathe, and always had a strange smell about her.
Yang Juhua covered her nose, her face showing a half-smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of schadenfreude. "If it weren't for my third sister-in-law instigating my third brother to whisper in your ear, you wouldn't have agreed to take out that hundred yuan to buy some worthless vegetables for her."
Think about it carefully, can the third brother and his wife, with their delicate skin, endure that kind of hardship?
They have to get out of their warm beds before dawn every day. It's manageable in the summer, but in the winter it's so cold even the dogs won't leave their kennels. How can they possibly get up?
Yang Juhua spoke sweetly to her mother-in-law, but in her heart she was overjoyed, as if she could already see Wang Shi disciplining her third son's wife—it was incredibly satisfying.
Seeing Wang Shi so angered by the Yu brothers, he was naturally pleased.
He thought to himself: I can't do anything with this old woman usually, but someone else can.
And then there's the third son and his wife. They didn't let the old lady agree to their second branch of the family being separated before, and now they want to steal the vegetable business from the first branch. This time, they're definitely going to suffer a big loss.
Those two brothers from the eldest son's side are not to be trifled with; the third son and his wife are definitely not going to have a good time today.
Thinking of this, Yang Juhua's smile became even more pronounced, but she still had to try her best to suppress it, otherwise the old lady would definitely be unhappy if she found out.
"Chrysanthemum, don't say that. Third sister-in-law is probably just thinking about earning two yuan."
The intention was good, but the method was wrong.
"Mom, please don't be angry. Getting angry will harm your health!"
Yu Erzhu rubbed his rough hands and carefully advised, "We've already separated from your brother's family and cut off all ties. I think we shouldn't cause trouble there in the future."
The villagers are watching closely!
"We don't mind, but you're so old, it's not good for you to be pointed at and talked about!"
Yu Sanzhu felt that his mother was getting on in years and always looked like a mangy dog, which was really unsightly in public.
"Yes, what the second son's wife said makes sense. Even if the third son and his wife take over the business, they may not be able to endure that hardship."
Wang sat on a wooden chair in the courtyard, nodded slightly, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.
I know my own son well. The third son has always been the one who can't stand hardship. He's been afraid of being tired and dirty since he was a child. What good can come of this rash attempt to steal business?
“Mother, please tell your third sister-in-law to stop messing around. None of her ideas are reliable, and they always end in failure.”
My third brother has always lacked his own opinions and listens to his wife in everything. This won't do; you need to keep a close eye on her."
Yang Juhua continued to embellish the story, saying, "This time, my third brother might get beaten up again."
"You know, Cheng Yuan and his brother are really angry that Third Brother stole their business this time, and they probably won't let the couple off easily."
Your hundred yuan is probably gone now, you can't get it back.
And there's a cart full of vegetables in the yard; we can't possibly eat all of them.
You should wait for your third sister-in-law to come back and let her figure out a way to take it to the market to sell!
We can at least get some money back from selling it; otherwise, you'll lose every single penny of your hundred yuan.
She found it funny to think of Li Hehua pulling her vegetables along the street to sell them.
“You’re right. When the third son’s wife comes back, let her take these vegetables to sell.”
Looking at the pile of vegetables high on the cart in the yard, Wang frowned with heartache.
It was as if those weren't vegetables, but rather a hundred yuan she had painstakingly saved.
Just then, a splashing sound came from outside the courtyard, and Yu Sanzhu and his wife returned, soaking wet.
The two were soaking wet, their hair looked like it had been pulled from a bird's nest, and they were in a sorry state.
He looked just like a protagonist being chased in a TV drama, as miserable as could be.
When Yang Juhua saw her third son's wife, Li Hehua, who was soaking wet and in a sorry state, she immediately became excited, her smile turning sharp, and she said sarcastically in a loud voice, "Oh, what happened?"
Third sister-in-law, you went out for a walk, what happened to your appearance?
Did you fall into the river to catch fish? Did you catch any?
Or did you two go for a romantic bath together in the river?
Li Hehua was already covered in bruises and in excruciating pain from being beaten by Yu Chengyuan and his brother after a conflict with the eldest son's family.
Now I'm soaked to the bone, and the cold wind is making me shiver.
Hearing his second sister-in-law's sharp and sarcastic words, he was like a firecracker that had been lit, and he instantly flew into a rage.
She glared at him, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Yang Juhua, stop making sarcastic remarks!"
Who do you think you are?
They're just gloating because we got the short end of the stick today!
"If you're so capable, go and deal with those two brothers from the eldest son's side. What kind of skill is it to bully us here!"
Yang Juhua was not about to back down. She took a step forward, straightened her neck, and retorted, "I don't have the time to deal with them."
Unlike some people who are incompetent yet love to cause trouble, tricking their mothers-in-law into handing over a hundred yuan.
Now look what's happened! The money's gone, and they're soaked to the bone. It's hilarious!
Li Hehua was so angry that she trembled all over, her eyes reddened, and she shouted loudly, "You're talking nonsense!"
My husband and I are doing this for the sake of our family, we want to earn more money, what about you?
All you do is sow discord and spread rumors. You gossipy woman, you'll die a horrible death!
The two of them were exchanging insults, their spittle flying all over the yard.
