Sun never expected that Jiang, who was always gentle and patient, would actually talk back!
Normally, she couldn't stand Jiang's sour temper, who would cry before she even opened her mouth and had a face full of grievance. However, unexpectedly, Jiang really became straightforward, which made her feel even more uncomfortable!
Sun opened her mouth, but faced with Jiang's unexpected rebuttal, she was at a loss for words for a moment.
Jiang paused her work and said seriously:
"Sister-in-law, if you have the free time, you should think less about me and more about the things at home!
It's been so long, and everyone else has sent back news, but Erlang hasn't made any movement at all. Isn't Second Sister-in-law worried at all?"
Sun was furious: "You!"
Jiang rolled her eyes at her, picked up the basket she had just put down, turned around and went back into the house, not forgetting to add insult to injury: "You're living like a dog at your age. You can't tell the difference between important and urgent matters!"
Sun was so angry that she jumped up and down: "Jiang, come back here!"
Jiang turned a deaf ear and acted as if she didn't hear anything even if she heard it.
On the other hand, Mrs. Wu laughed out loud and continued the conversation with a smile:
"Second sister-in-law, I think Fourth Brother's wife is right. You should also pay more attention to Erlang.
The three mengzi from the Lu family have brought back letters and money, but why is there no news from our Erlang?
As your aunt, I'm worried about you too. How come you're still not worried?
Instead of wasting time on getting angry with your sister-in-law, you might as well go and get some news on Erlang!"
How could Sun not be worried about Erlang?
It happened that there was no news about Erlang, but San Mengzi from the old Lu family brought back a message, which made Sun very anxious and she disliked everyone a hundred times more than usual.
I wanted to find a soft persimmon to vent my anger on, but unexpectedly, Jiang, the soft persimmon, suddenly turned into a frozen persimmon!
Could it be that her usual soft and bullied appearance was all an act?
Sun returned to the house angrily.
As soon as I entered the house, a flying shoe hit me squarely in the face.
"The house is in such a mess all day long, and all you do is gossip about your wife! It's already so late, and you haven't cooked yet? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Sun was not one to accept things passively, and she immediately exploded when she heard this:
"Xia Lao Er! If you have the ability, go use it outside! What kind of man are you if you keep acting like a tyrant in this den?!
The peach blossoms are so big now, what’s the big deal if she cooks two meals?
Why do you have to point at me for everything?
Besides, if you’re hungry, can’t you get something to eat yourself? Don’t you have hands?”
Xia Yougui was so angry that he jumped up from the kang:
"You're such a jerk, Sun Zhaodi! You're so arrogant! Look at how capable you are! You even dare to talk back to your husband!"
"Xia Lao Er! Tell me who you are! How capable are you! Besides bullying your own wife and children, what other rules do you have?
There are so many men in our Xia family, why is it that only Erlang has to do labor service!
How is Dalang living? How is Erlang living?
Ask your parents if they have you as their son or Erlang as their grandson.
You damned bastard! Do you know that?
Even the drunkard San Mengzi from the Lu family knew to send a message home!
Erlang didn't move at all!
Erlang, my Erlang, something must have happened...
Poor Erlang, he has grown up but still hasn’t found a wife... wuwuwu..."
Sun's crying was not pretty at all, her face was covered with snot and tears, and it seemed as if her crying had drained away every last bit of her strength, and her spine could no longer support her.
She slid down to the ground, her whole body limp, her mouth open, her eyes closed, and she slapped her thighs and burst into tears.
However, looking at Sun like this, Xia Yougui's anger was like being poured with a bucket of ice, and was extinguished in an instant.
Alas, doesn’t he miss Erlang too?
However, if he had to choose between Erlang suffering and himself taking risks, he would protect himself no matter what.
Erlang is still young and strong, so he is not afraid of any hardship.
I'm already this old, and if I go through that suffering again, it's hard to say whether I can come back. Even if I can come back, I'm afraid I'll be left with a lot of illness.
When the time comes, who can we rely on to take care of the second wife's life?
Xia Yougui quickly convinced himself of the vague uneasiness deep in his heart. After Sun's crying subsided, he lowered his voice and scolded:
"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal, it's not worth you crying like this! Hurry up and make dinner so we can fill our stomachs. I'll go have a drink with Lao Lu tonight and ask him what's going on.
Don't be so quick to scare yourself. Maybe Erlang doesn't have any money on him, so it's inconvenient for him to send a message back!"
Sun thought so too.
When Erlang left, she was so sad that she didn't even think of bringing money or preparing bedding for Erlang.
It seems that it was the rice flowers from the fourth room who were packed up in a bundle.
However, Daohua wasn't a very smart girl. As a child, she probably wouldn't have thought of bringing some money for Erlang. Besides, even if she did, she didn't have any money.
Oh! The fourth room couple is the same, why don’t they usually leave some emergency coins for their children?
Sun sighed twice, secretly complained to Xia Youtian and Jiang, stood up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, wiped her face with her sleeves, and went to cook.
After crying bitterly, she felt a little hungry.
