Ge Liuping scolded so loudly that she woke up the sleeping child.
When Chen Xiaozhen heard her son crying, she quickly held the child in her arms, stroking him and coaxing him softly.
"Mom, Guangzong cried all night before he fell asleep..."
Ge Liuping was furious when she heard her daughter-in-law talking back to her. She scolded her angrily, "You knew he cried all night? I haven't even asked you how you take care of the child? You don't do any housework all day, and you can't even take care of a child!"
"What's the use of you?!"
After saying that, Ge Liuping jumped onto the kang in two steps and snatched the crying grandson from his daughter-in-law's arms.
After touching the child's forehead with the back of her hand to make sure that the child did not have a fever, Ge Liuping felt more confident in scolding.
"Tell me which daughter-in-law enjoys such a good life as you do. You don't have to do farm work, and your father and I don't need you to serve us. You can't even do the easy task of looking after the children. Why did our family marry a loser like you?"
Chen Xiaozhen's face turned red after being scolded by her mother-in-law, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Qiao Guangzong's eardrums hurt from his grandmother's noise. He cried heartbreakingly and twisted his body wildly.
Ge Liuping couldn't hold her fat grandson, and angrily pushed the child into her daughter-in-law's arms. Seeing Chen Xiaozhen wiping tears again, Ge Liuping reached out and poked Chen Xiaozhen's head fiercely.
"Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry all day. Your two of you have made our family broke because of your crying. I'm so fed up with it. I'm so fed up with it."
Qiao Guangming was standing at the door and heard his mother's angry scolding. He pushed the door open and rushed into the house.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Didn't Guangzong catch a cold in your room? He was coughing all night last night, and you, as a grandmother, didn't even ask about it. You just came to our room and cursed at us!"
Qiao Guangming was a quiet person, but when he suddenly lost his temper, it was still very scary. Ge Liuping knew she was wrong, so she turned away guiltily and didn't dare to look at her eldest son.
But this guilty feeling only lasted for a few seconds. Ge Liuping seemed to have thought of something and glared at Qiao Guangming: "Didn't you go to work? Why are you home so early?"
Without waiting for her son to explain, Ge Liuping glared at her daughter-in-law and asked, "You were the one who called him back home?"
Chen Xiaozhen felt so wronged that she quickly explained, "I didn't do that. I don't know anything!"
After saying this, Wei looked at her husband with a wronged expression, said nothing, and shed tears silently.
When Ge Liuping saw Chen Xiaozhen crying, she immediately flew into a rage. She pointed at Chen Xiaozhen's face, jumped up and yelled, "Why are you howling? As if I bullied you! Did I hit you or yell at you? Why are you howling?"
Chen Xiaozhen ignored her arrogant and unreasonable mother-in-law, hugged her crying child, and turned to sit in the corner.
She shed tears silently while coaxing her son in a low voice.
A sick son, a tired and aggrieved wife, and an unreasonable mother. No matter which man sees this scene, he will feel bad.
"Mom! Stop making trouble!"
Qiao Guangming roared so loudly that Ge Liuping was stunned for a long time.
After reacting, Ge Liuping rushed to Qiao Guangming, beating him and cursing loudly: "You conscienceless bastard, who are you yelling at?"
"I have raised you for more than 20 years, but you turned out to be a wolf in vain."
"I'm old, and you're still yelling at me."
Although Qiao Guangming is the eldest son in the family, he is not loved by his parents because he is a child who makes his parents ashamed.
He was born a month earlier than his uncle Qiao Changfu's son Weiguo, but he developed slower than Qiao Weiguo since childhood.
When Qiao Weiguo was one year old, he could walk, but Qiao Guangming was still crawling on the ground. When he was three years old, Qiao Weiguo could go to buy soy sauce, but Qiao Guangming could not speak. When he was five years old, Qiao Weiguo was so sweet that he could coax his grandfather to buy candy for him, but Qiao Guangming could not control himself and wet his pants all day long.
They are both children of the Qiao family and were born in the same year, so why is there such a big gap between the two brothers?
The farmers in the village all said that the problem was with the land.
Qiao Guangming is so stupid, he must have inherited his mother's style.
Because of this stupid son, Ge Liuping couldn't hold her head up in her husband's family and was laughed at by her sisters-in-law all day long.
It was not until she gave birth to the twins Feilong and Xifeng that Ge Liuping finally dared to walk with her back straight at home.
Ge Liuping gave birth to eight children, but only five survived. Among these children, she loved her youngest son Feilong the most, followed by Qiao Xifeng, and finally Qiao Guangming.
As for her eldest daughter, Ge Liuping loved her for two years because she was her first child. But after she gave birth to a son, her eldest daughter was no longer that important to her.
As for San Ya, she was able to survive only because of her strong luck. Being adopted by the third wife would give her a house in exchange. Ge Liuping used to think this was a good deal, but now that Qiao Baozhu married so well, she felt very upset.
After scolding her eldest son, Ge Liuping felt much clearer both physically and mentally.
Qiao Guangming hung his head and let his mother vent her anger, not daring to say a word in return.
When Chen Xiaozhen saw how pathetic her husband was, her tears flowed even more violently.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm back!"
Qiao Xifeng returned home with a triangular bag on her shoulder and a belly full of northwest wind. Standing in the yard, she heard her mother cursing in her second brother's room.
She stopped the shouting and cursing in the room with her shout, and soon the door to the east room was pushed open.
Ge Liuping rushed out with a ruddy face and a menacing look.
She saw Qiao Xifeng carrying a large triangular bag on her arm, and walked towards her with a look of surprise.
"My uncle sent something back!"
Qiao Xifeng was startled and glanced at the door of the east room. Seeing that Qiao Guangming didn't come out, she uttered a few words and pulled Ge Liuping into the main room.
As soon as she entered the main room, Ge Liuping couldn't wait to snatch the bag from Qiao Xifeng.
With a look of joy on his face, he took it to the kang and poured all the contents onto the kang in one breath.
A red-lined sweater, red-lined trousers, a thin cotton vest made before getting married, two pairs of socks, two underpants, a vest, a bag of vanishing cream, and a clam oil.
These were all the dowry that Qiao Xifeng brought from her parents' home when she got married.
Facing his mother's murderous gaze, Qiao Xifeng said with a stiff upper lip: "The Haiyang class will last for two months. I'm scared to live alone in the dormitory, so I'll go home and stay for a while."
Ge Liuping is a mother. How could she not know what kind of person her daughter is?
Watching Qiao Xifeng rummaging through the kitchen, looking for something to eat.
Ge Liuping sneered angrily, "I think you've spent most of the money that my son-in-law left behind. I've told you so many times that the Haiyang family doesn't have much money. You have to live frugally."
Qiao Xifeng felt annoyed when she heard her mother's nagging. She searched the kitchen for a long time, but found only half a frozen steamed bun besides some pickled vegetables.
She came into the house chewing on a steamed bun and sat down on the kang, picking up the clothes scattered on the kang and complaining angrily.
"They only left me a few dollars, which is not enough even if I live frugally. If I don't go back to my parents' home for a while, I'll starve to death."
Knowing that her own mother would make sarcastic remarks about her, Qiao Xifeng did not wait for Ge Liuping to speak, and said half-jokingly and half-threateningly: "Your uncle is going to take a course to study, and he will go back to the field office to work after he comes back."
"If I starve to death at home, you will have to find a concubine for your son-in-law."
