Chapter 18 A little disappointed
Everyone was stunned by Sun's actions.
Old Mrs. Chen flew into a rage and slammed her chopsticks onto the table. "Second brother, what the hell is wrong with you? I haven't even taken a single bite, and you've already divided the egg. Do you have any manners? Do you still respect me?"
Sun pouted and retorted, "Mom, it's just a plate of eggs. As for the fuss, Ruolan and Jiye eat them every day and are tired of them. So what if I give them to Dabao and Erbao to satisfy their cravings? No way!"
"Satisfy your craving? Are you satisfying your craving? You're destroying the nest."
"What's wrong with destroying the nest? You can't be so partial. In the past, the eggs were eaten by the third wife. Why should we, the first and second wives, give in to them?"
Sun was full of resentment and had no place to vent it, so she just ignored it.
"I've poured my heart and soul into this family, working tirelessly without complaint. But I cry out in frustration over a broken egg. Do I still have any status in this family? Am I still considered a human being?
Life is so frustrating. If the family splits up, the eldest branch won’t be afraid of starving, and neither will we, the second branch.”
Chen Zhanliang also complained dissatisfiedly, "Mom, Ruolan and Jiye are your grandchildren, but aren't Dabao and Erbao your grandchildren? Why do you favor one over the other?
The third brother is studying, and he hasn't even passed the exam yet, but you are so partial to him. If he passes, you will look down on us even more.
My wife is right. Since you look down on our second wife anyway, why not separate us and let us live separately."
Sun snorted coldly and looked at Old Lady Chen with disdain. "They are all your sons and grandsons. You can't treat them equally. How can there be harmony between brothers? The family will definitely be in turmoil."
"They are rebelling. They are rebelling against the heaven one by one." Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that her face turned blue and her whole body was shaking.
Chen Ruolan glared at Sun angrily, "Second Aunt, even if I don't like these scrambled eggs, you can't give them all to Dabao and Erbao. My grandparents haven't even had a bite yet, so why are you dividing it?"
After she finished speaking, she rubbed Old Lady Chen's back in a hypocritical manner and said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Your health is more important."
"Our Ruolan is filial and knows how to care for others." Old Mrs. Chen looked at her dotingly, then gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Zhanliang and his wife with a squinting look.
"Unfilial things, you are a bunch of ungrateful wolves. You have grown so powerful that you still want to divide the family. Go, invite the head of the village, and you all get out and live on your own."
Old man Chen suppressed his anger and said unhappily, "Second brother, think carefully. The old family only got half a bag of rice bran, and we don't know if we can survive it.
If you insist on dividing the family, your mother and I will not stop you. We will give you half a bag of rice bran and two acres of sandy land, and we will become two families in the future.
If the third son becomes the top scholar in the future, your two sons should not even think of taking any credit for it."
Chen Zhanliang felt sick at the thought of rice bran. He had to cook it with vegetable leaves and salt to be able to swallow it.
If you split up the family, you can only eat coarse grains and vegetables. If you don't split up the family, at least you can eat brown rice. You don't enjoy the blessing and seek suffering. How stupid!
He chuckled and hurriedly put the eggs in his bowl into Old Lady Chen's bowl. "Mom, look at what you are doing. Your son is just joking with you, but you take it seriously. I can't wait to be filial to you, how can I bear to leave you?"
Old Lady Chen didn't want to send the second son away to live on his own. If that happened, there would be no one left to work at home. She took advantage of the situation and said, "You still have some conscience. I'm not fighting for this meal. I'm just angry at those ungrateful people in the first wife's house."
Chen Zhancai was furious when he saw his second brother and sister-in-law act like this. They really didn't know what was good for them. A peasant called him second brother, which was already giving him face, yet he still wanted to compete with me.
Do you think you're wronged by doing a little work? If I become famous in the future, you won't be worthy of carrying my shoes even if you try to do it.
He looked contemptuous and said, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, mother saw how hard I was studying and only cooked two eggs for me a day. If you want to split up the family business because of this, then I won't eat these eggs anymore."
Liu Fengjiao rolled her eyes and said reluctantly, "Second sister-in-law, we are family and should keep our differences. Zhan Cai is right. We won't eat these eggs tomorrow."
Chen Zhanliang was so angry that he wanted to flip the table, but he still forced a smile, "Third brother, I was just saying it. Second brother didn't mean it. You still have to eat the eggs. After all, the whole family is counting on you to bring honor to the family!"
Sun stopped talking. She didn't really want to divide the family these days. She was just saying it casually.
Although I envy the eldest brother's family, how long can they stay alive? Sooner or later they will have to come back and beg for mercy. No matter how powerful Qing girl is, she can't escape from the old lady's clutches. In the end, she will have to marry Li the butcher obediently.
It was getting dark.
Chen Qingqing was lying on a simple wooden bed, her mind in a mess. She had promised to practice medicine and save lives, but where was the reward for being a good person?
She traveled through time and space to this famine year, and at the very beginning she met a weirdo who split up her family and broke off her relationship with her, pushing her to death.
Where are the homes of kings, princes, generals and ministers?
No, no, it must be the black and white ghosts who made a mistake.
Otherwise, I'd better die again and ask them for an explanation.
No, no, death doesn't feel good. I might as well make the best of a bad situation. With my own brain, I should be able to do well.
She raised her hand, carefully examined the ring on her ring finger, and tried to recite in her heart,
"system?"
"space?"
"Golden Finger?"
There is no movement at all. Damn it. Have I been fooled by the Black and White Impermanence again?
"No, no."
She shook her head, remembering that when she came here, she heard the words "Go figure it out yourself!" In that case, this must be a treasure.
It seems I have to think about it carefully. If it is a system space or something, I can just lie down and relax.
Bring your family to eat and drink the best food, reach the pinnacle of life, and live a luxurious life like a queen. Life is just like this, so enjoy it!
Chen Qingqing sat up excitedly and wanted to pull the ring off to take a closer look, but after trying for a long time, the ring seemed to be stuck in her flesh and could not be taken off no matter what she did.
What's going on?
Can’t get it off?
She suddenly remembered that she had read a novel about cultivating immortals before. In order to activate the awakening treasure, it was necessary to absorb the host's blood and energy, but that was too painful.
As the saying goes, only those who endure hardships can become the best. Compared with future happiness, this little pain is nothing.
Thinking of this, she put her index finger to her mouth, but she didn't dare to bite her finger right away. After struggling for a while, she bit her finger hard and dripped the blood from her finger onto the ring.
He muttered, "A miracle will happen soon, space, system, golden finger, super power..."
My fingers were all scabby and the ring had no reaction at all.
"Damn it, is it kidding? Has it become a stupid monkey and been fooled by a ghost?"
Chen Qingqing was almost furious. Seeing a stone under the bed, she picked it up and smashed it without thinking, "You broken thing, I'll smash you to pieces."
Lin heard her mumbling and making a fuss in the house and hurried over to check.
Seeing Chen Qingqing holding a stone and smashing it on her hand again and again, she was so scared that her voice changed.
"Qing girl, are you okay?"
