San Gouzi lay in bed day and night recovering from his injuries, but his boredom had actually helped him develop his hearing. Earlier, he had faintly heard some unusual noises outside, and even his mother's voice. Worried that the butcher woman was causing trouble again, he sent his second sister out to check.
Ding Baomi thought that it was impossible, as her mother had gone to the town to buy salt, but she was still worried and went out to look for her. While looking, she found the butcher lying on the side of the road, and hurriedly pulled her up and carried her back.
After returning home, Mrs. Tu woke up after lying down for a while. She was frightened by the blood all over Tu Yidao's face. When she woke up, she was wondering if she had a nightmare when Meng's sharp shouting came from outside.
"You old bastard! You deserved it for your son being almost eaten by a leopard. You will die without any descendants..." Meng's curse was very harsh. She and the butcher had been the main force of the gossip team at the village entrance since they were young. They had a good relationship in the past, but that was based on gossiping about other people together.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, and don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them. This weakness also refers to someone's sore spot. Tu Pozi only had one precious son, San Gouzi, and she brought up the incident where San Gouzi almost died at the hands of a leopard. Tu Pozi was furious when she heard it, and rushed out in a rage, vowing to confront her to see the truth.
As soon as the two met, they each stuck their butt out and slapped themselves three times towards each other. This is the signature move when the country gossips officially start a quarrel. Then they both turned sideways in perfect sync, raised one leg high, rubbed and clapped their hands together, cursed, and jolted their bodies forward when their feet landed. Then they raised their legs high again, rubbed and clapped their hands together, cursed, and jolted their bodies forward again.
These two were definitely classmates from the same Potan Academy, equally matched in terms of skill. They were cursing at each other with spitting saliva and loud voices, and soon attracted a crowd of women, children, and the crowd. Ah Man and Da Niu were also there with their little silver foxes. The four of them had just run over to the slope to play when the Meng family came to scold them.
It was the first time for Ah Man to see such a fierce quarrel scene. After watching for a while, she suddenly jumped, turned sideways and slapped Da Niu and the others with her buttocks three times. Er Niu was not to be outdone, so she immediately slapped her buttocks back. The two of them laughed and raised one leg, imitating the quarreling movements of Meng and the butcher exactly.
This made the big girls and the three girls giggle.
"Sister Ah Man." The big girl said happily, "If my brother sees you like this, he will definitely not want you to be his mistress anymore."
Ah Man tilted his head and said, "Humph, I'm going to let him be the boss and make him mad!"
The butcher's ears were very sharp. During the quarrel, she also heard the laughter of the big girl and the others. Her voice suddenly rose eight degrees, "You old vicious woman, you deserve your own son to break off relations with you, and you deserve that the whole village eats meat every day, but you can't even have soup..."
These words stung Meng's heart. Every time she thought about how everyone in the village could eat wild game, but her family couldn't, she would get so angry that her teeth would almost break. The butcher saw her expression change suddenly, thinking she had turned the tables and hit Meng's sore spot. She picked up the words and scolded her even more vigorously, sticking her butt out and slapping her three times.
The slapping sounds were so loud that the butt was almost sticking up to the sky!
Meng was so angry that she rushed over like a madman, knocked her down and grabbed her hair.
In a one-on-one fight, the butcher was no match for the towering Meng, but she had a daughter. Even if the mother and daughter argued furiously behind closed doors, they remained mother and daughter once the door was open. They had to stand united against the outside world, and Ding Baomi naturally wouldn't sit idly by and watch her own mother get beaten.
The mother and daughter scratched Meng's face until it was torn to pieces and beat her so hard that she fled in panic. The butcher chased her for a mile and followed her, clapping her hands and cursing.
When Meng returned home, she saw the eldest, third, and sixth sons all in the room. The eldest son was holding a bowl and feeding the old Dingtou with egg custard. This guy made her angry. She was beaten outside, but the old Dingtou was eating delicious food at home, and his mouth was covered with sticky food. Seeing this, she was furious and snatched the bowl from the eldest son's hand.
"The eggs are for your nephew. Your son Quan'er must be studying so hard, and who told you to steam them without my permission? You're so bold! This is outrageous!"
She cursed angrily.
He slammed the bowl down on the table.
Old Ding was babbling something, but it would have been fine if he couldn't say it clearly, and a long line of saliva was flowing from his mouth. Seeing this, Meng became even more furious, and she raised her hand and slapped him several times.
The sound is crisp.
"Mom! What are you doing?" The eldest brother was anxious.
The third and sixth brothers also stood up, both with shocked expressions.
"What are you doing? Didn't you see me?" Meng raised her hand and punched the eldest brother on the shoulder. "Why are you staring at me? Do you want to eat me?
"Hey!" The boss stomped his feet and squatted down with his head in his hands.
No, the eldest son stood up again. As the eldest son, he couldn't watch his mother abuse his father like this. His father had fallen, and from now on, he, the eldest son, should be the master of the family. He couldn't let his mother do whatever she wanted.
The eldest brother decided to hold a family meeting to clarify his identity as the new head of the family. He asked the sixth brother to call the second brother and his wife, and to call the Liu, Gao, and Lu families.
"What do you want me to do?" Meng gritted her teeth and looked at herself in the mirror. There were several bloody scratches on her face from the butcher and her daughter. She was furious and asked in a bad tone.
"Hold a meeting!" the boss replied in a muffled voice.
When Meng heard about the meeting, her anger subsided a little. She thought that the eldest son was calling the daughters-in-law to come and discuss a way for her to vent her anger. She secretly thought that the eldest son had done something that pleased her.
After everyone arrived, Meng spoke first as usual, "See these marks on my face..." She had just started when the eldest brother gave Liu a look.
Liu immediately understood what she meant. After years of marriage, they still had this tacit understanding. She interrupted Meng unhappily, "Mother, listen to Zhu'er's father. Don't make a sound."
A woman obeys her father at home, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband's death. Old Ding was still alive, but half dead, clearly unable to lead the household. Her husband was the eldest son, so it was natural for him to be the new head of the household. With her husband in charge, she naturally became the housekeeper. From now on, it would no longer be her who would have to look after her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law would have to look after her.
Liu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"You damned bitch!" Mrs. Meng raised her finger and pointed at her. "When did it ever become your turn to order me around? I think you're itching for trouble!"
If it weren't for the fact that the boss called them over to follow him to beat the butcher and her daughter, Meng would have pounced on her and torn her mouth.
After she finished cursing, she was about to speak when the eldest brother spoke first.
"Second, third, and sixth sons, I'm sure you all understand Dad's current condition. He won't be able to be the head of this family for a while. I'm the eldest son, your big brother. Before Dad gets better, I'll support this family. When Dad is fully recovered, I'll let him take over the family. Do you have any objections?"
"No problem, we'll listen to Big Brother."
The second, third and sixth brothers all expressed no objection.
"Wait!" Meng figured it out. It turned out that the eldest brother was not trying to vent her anger, but was trying to snatch the right to speak in the family from her. Did he treat her as if she were dead?
