Zhao Youcai was full of resentment because he broke two bowls and was beaten with two sticks. However, he had suffered a loss at the hands of Ma Xiu Lan today and knew that he could not beat her, so he began to ask the children for help.
The second son and his wife mopped the floor while the other cleaned all the furniture.
The fourth brother and his wife were washing clothes in the sink outside.
Even if I called them, they would not pay any attention to me.
What an unfilial son! He paid for their support, yet they watched Ma Xiulan torture herself and pretended not to see.
Before he paid the money, he didn't care about what happened to these kids.
He was afraid that if he had too much contact with children, they would ask him for money.
Now, in order to take care of my second, fourth, and fifth children, I have signed a child support agreement worth 3,820 yuan.
The things bought for Shulan became 2,000 yuan in Ma Xiulan's hands, and another 1,820 yuan had to be deducted from her salary.
Since they spent the money, they have to be filial to their father.
He called the second and fourth children one by one, but they both said they didn't have time to help him cook and didn't know how to cook, so he asked him to call Xingmin.
Zhao Youcai's eyes fell on Zhao Yang, who was full of anger in the living room, and Xingmin, who was forced by Ma Xiulan to read a book.
"Xingmin, come and help me cook?"
She didn't care if Zhao Youcai called other people, but she absolutely couldn't let him call Xingmin.
Without waiting for Xingmin to say anything, Ma Xiulan raised her rolling pin:
"Xingmin wants to read. If you disturb her again, I will chop off your hand."
Zhao Youcai scoffed, "When Xingmin was in school, he used to help with cooking and housework every day. Why is he starting to read now that he's not in school anymore?"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the hand by Ma Xiulan's rolling pin:
"Then you didn't go to school before, you just held a book in your hand every day and didn't do any work."
"You don't know how to do it, I'll teach you."
Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye had never done housework before. They were suffering from back pain and beads of sweat were dripping from their faces.
They don't understand why such a seemingly simple job is so time-consuming and hard.
It’s all Dad and Grandma’s fault. They pissed off Mom.
Let mom transform from a little lamb into a tigress, otherwise these tasks will be done by mom and Xingmin.
Next, Zhao Youcai spent an extremely difficult hour cooking.
He didn't know how to cook, but with the help of Ma Xiulan's rolling pin, he finally made a meal.
Cold shredded radish, stir-fried cabbage, and stir-fried bean sprouts.
I made rice soup and steamed the coarse flour buns I bought outside.
When the dishes were served, Zhang Zhaodi looked at the three small plates and couldn't help complaining, "Mom used to make three pots of food, but there are so many people in the family."
Ma Xiulan directly hit Zhao Youcai with a stick.
"Why are you serving so little? Who are you trying to starve to death?"
Zhao Youcai complained: "It's only one yuan, and I need to buy some honeycomb coal and steamed buns. How can it be enough to buy a lot of vegetables?"
Ma Xiulan sneered: "If you think one dollar for a meal is not enough, how can I support my family by myself with so many meals a month?"
Zhao Youcai didn't dare to speak. He always thought that it was just buying groceries and cooking, so how much money could be spent?
He glared at Zhang Zhaodi, blaming her for being too talkative and causing him to get beaten. If there was not enough food, just starve. Why did she say anything?
No one dared to speak after that, because the dish tasted so terrible.
Every time I eat a mouthful of food, I have to drink two mouthfuls of rice soup before I can swallow it.
Zhao Youcai also noticed it. He glared at everyone and stopped them from saying anything.
Unexpectedly, after Ma Xiulan took a bite, she hit him with a stick again:
"You make your food so salty, is salt free? How can your family survive if you keep wasting money like this?"
It was too salty. Ma Xiulan drank a mouthful of rice soup and swung the stick at Zhao Youcai again:
"You put so much rice in there, will there be enough to cook tomorrow?"
Zhao Youcai covered his arm, feeling so aggrieved: "I can't live like this!"
Ma Xiulan was still unsatisfied: "This is just the beginning. If life can't go on, then divorce? And wasn't this also how your mother treated me back then?"
"I didn't expect you to hold such a grudge. What's wrong with an old woman scolding her daughter-in-law? Besides, my mom hit your hand with chopsticks. How painful could it be?"
Ma Xiulan smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I'll hit you with my chopsticks again."
Everyone present acted like a fool, not daring to speak, fearing that Ma Xiulan would discover them.
Zhao Yang stayed close to Zhao Xingmin and saw that she didn't eat any vegetables or steamed buns, but just drank rice soup.
Remembering that his grandmother had taken his aunt out, he quickly leaned over to Zhao Xingmin's mouth and smelled it, and actually smelled the scent of meat.
He was originally a little angry because his grandmother took his aunt out alone without him, but now he is furious.
He was eating the disgusting meal, but his grandmother took his aunt to eat meat.
"Grandma and my aunt are going to eat meat! I want to eat meat too. I don't want to eat this disgusting dish."
Zhao Yang immediately howled, stood up from the stool, surrounded Ma Xiu Lan and started pulling her arms, trying to pull her up to buy him meat.
Ma Xiu Lan lifted Zhao Yang up and said to him on the butt: “Pa pa pa.”
Zhao Yang burst into tears.
"Bad grandma! Bad grandma!"
The more Zhao Yang scolded, the more Ma Xiulan beat him.
Chen Zhenzhen grabbed Zhao Yang distressedly:
"Mom, even if you have a problem with us, you can't take it out on the child. This is the only grandson of your Zhao family."
Ma Xiulan cursed: "What does the Zhao family's grandson have to do with me? My last name is Ma, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhao Xingjia was very angry because his wife and children were frustrated in front of Ma Xiu Lan.
Before, mom always secretly gave him special treatment. After Zhao Yang was born, she secretly gave him special treatment. Now, even though the relationship between mom and me is a little awkward, mom can't help but pamper Zhao Yang, pampering the third sister, a little girl.
