Zhao Youcai was panicked by the miserable appearance of Old Lady Wang.
Zhao Youfu seized the opportunity: "Brother, even if you are cruel, you can't do anything to our mother. Our mother has helped you so much. If this gets out, will you still have the face to live like a human being?"
"Put the meat down. This is what my mother gave me."
Anyway, Old Mrs. Wang has already been beaten, so she might as well eat the meat herself.
Zhao Youcai panicked and was about to agree when Chen Zhenzhen quickly stopped him:
"Who said it was my dad who beat my grandma? So many of us saw you beat my grandma. If you go out and slander my dad, we will have no choice but to report you beating my grandma to your factory."
As soon as Chen Zhenzhen said this, Zhang Zhaodi and Zhao Xingfeng immediately realized that Chen Zhenzhen meant that they should pour the dirty water on their uncle. Anyway, there were many of them, and most outsiders would believe it if they said it was their uncle.
Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye also realized it later. The five of them united and condemned Zhao Youfu.
"Uncle, you are so heartless! Grandma is so kind to you, and you actually hit her!"
"A son who beats his mother is worse than an animal."
"Hurry up and compensate grandma for the medical expenses."
Zhao Youfu and Wang Qiuju watched them confuse right and wrong and were unable to do anything about it.
He stamped his feet anxiously: "Mom, who hit you?"
Old Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma. If she told the truth, she had offended her eldest son, and she still wanted to live with him, saying that she was blessed. But she was afraid that bad guys like Chen Zhenzhen would really mess up her youngest son's work, so she could only pretend to be dizzy and say that she didn't remember.
Finally, the remaining meat was taken away, and the few pounds of grain in the jar were also taken away, saying that it was compensation for Mrs. Wang's medical expenses.
Old Mrs. Wang covered her face with Wang Qiuju's headscarf to hide the wound, and followed Zhao Youcai home.
As soon as they left, Wang Qiuju slapped Zhao Youfu:
"Your eldest brother and his family have been coming to our house to steal things time and time again. We can't make ends meet anymore."
Zhao Youfu quickly coaxed Wang Qiuju: "Qiuju, don't be angry, Mom is here. As long as Mom is here, we can go to Big Brother's house to get things like before. This time it was just a coincidence."
Wang Qiuju didn't believe it at all: "I don't think so. Your previous sister-in-law was nice to us, but look at your current brother. He doesn't act like a brother at all. It's shameful."
Zhao Youfu comforted her: "It's okay, as long as I find something to hold against big brother, he will surrender."
"Then you have to find it quickly."
--
Everyone had their own thoughts along the way. Zhao Youcai beat his own mother and felt a little guilty.
Old Mrs. Wang stared at her two granddaughters-in-law with a deep look in her eyes. They were the ones who instigated the conflict between her eldest son and couldn't stand her being nice to her younger son.
Chen Zhenzhen noticed the gaze of Old Lady Wang and thought that if she didn't get rid of Old Lady Wang, she would definitely make things difficult for her in the future.
Although she wanted to divorce, she would not leave until she found a good partner. After all, she couldn't go back to her parents' home now, and she had a baby in her belly, so she would have to wait until she gave birth to the baby before she could divorce.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Grandma, you don't even sit at the table when you eat at my uncle's house, and you always smile while working. You have to be like this when you come to our house, otherwise you just don't like my dad."
Zhang Zhaodi heard this and realized that this was an opportunity to pass the housework back to Old Lady Wang, so she had to make an effort:
"That's right, my aunt isn't even pregnant yet, but grandma is taking care of her so well, not to mention that my second sister-in-law and I are both pregnant."
Old Lady Wang cursed: "Bullshit, you are ugly but beautiful. I take care of your uncle and aunt, just like a mother takes care of her children. No matter how much I take care of them, it is not too much."
"You are all my grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law, and you still expect me, an old man, to take care of you. Which grandmother will take care of her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law and raise her great-grandchildren? If you want meticulous care, go find your mother."
Chen Zhenzhen and Zhang Zhaodi were speechless.
It was because Ma Xiu Lan got divorced that they had no mother (mother-in-law) to take care of them, so they could only rely on the unruly grandmother Wang to order them around.
Zhao Xingfeng's eyes rolled. "Dad, why don't you go find Mom? You don't know, but Mom got her salary two days ago and went to the department store to buy five pieces of clothing. She bought herself a shirt, a sweater, and a tweed jacket."
"I also bought tweed coats for my third sister and someone called An An. That one piece of tweed coat is worth a month's salary for you, fourth brother."
Zhao Youcai's heart was bleeding when he heard this. Ma Xiulan was squandering so much now, and all the money she spent was his salary.
Chen Zhenzhen's eyes widened. "An An? She actually bought it for Zhao Xingguo's wife too? Is she crazy? Zhao Xingguo is a live-in son-in-law, and she didn't buy it for Zhaodi and me, two legitimate daughters-in-law, but bought it for an outsider."
Zhao Xingfeng agreed: "Yes, I was angry too. I said that as a married daughter, I don't want my mother to buy clothes for me. After all, my mother should buy clothes for my two married sisters-in-law."
"Both sisters-in-law are pregnant, and the second sister-in-law gave birth to our only grandson. Which of the two sisters-in-law is not more meritorious than the nominal eldest sister-in-law?"
Let them make noise. The more they make noise, the less likely my third sister will be able to concentrate on her studies with her mother.
Zhao Xingjia felt bad. Why did he buy it for Zhao Xingguo's wife but not for his own wife? He spoke first: "Let's go find mom."
Old Lady Wang also pushed Zhao Youcai: "You should go with them and coax your wife back. She's such a spendthrift. She spends all the money she gets. If you let her go on her own, there will be no money left."
Zhao Youcai didn't want to go. Shulan also lived on that street. What if Shulan saw him and misunderstood him?
"If you don't go, I'll tell the neighbors that you hurt me."
"Don't."
Zhao Youcai was afraid that if his colleagues knew he had hit his mother, it might affect his work. He could go, but he would just keep quiet and remain invisible. Then he would talk to Shulan about it that night.
Zhao Youcai and his team went to No. 8 Longyang Street. There was a pile of cement outside the yard and the gate was open to facilitate the people inside to carry things back and forth.
A few people entered the yard and saw the house under construction. It was about 30 square meters, the same size as their current home. In addition to this new house, there were five spacious and bright blue brick rooms.
It would be great if they could live here.
Zhao Xingjia saw through their thoughts and interrupted them in time: "This place is unlucky for your descendants, what good is there in it?"
The others knew it, but they couldn't hide the envy and jealousy on their faces.
Ma Xiu Lan was setting up a big pot and cooking afternoon meals for the workers.
The cabbage and vermicelli stewed with meat was specially prepared with fried tofu. The aroma was so fragrant that Zhao Yang's saliva immediately flowed down. He wanted to go over and grab it, but he was afraid of his grandmother who was staring at him ferociously. He could only pull Chen Zhenzhen's hand and whispered, "I want to eat it, I want to eat it."
Ma Mingqiang and his brothers are working very hard and are busy building the roof.
Seeing Zhao Youcai and his gang coming, he hurried down the ladder and went to protect his eldest sister.
Ma Xiulan felt unlucky and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
