Chapter 269 Big Sister
Chapter 269 Big Sister
At the foot of the mountain, the car had to stop. Zhao Fengjuan got out of the car, looked at the endless forest in front of her, and said to her brother-in-law Zhao Dan,
"Brother-in-law, you, you, if you have any manliness left in you, you wouldn't do such a thing. Okay, stop looking and go upstairs to find someone."
Zhao Dan's cheeks flushed red. He lowered his head and walked ahead for a long time before he saw a cart parked on the side of the road.
As soon as Zhao Fengjuan saw Zhao Dan’s excited expression, she knew that the car belonged to him.
"Okay, go call my sister out, I'll wait for you here."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Zhao Dan nodded repeatedly and ran towards the woods, shouting as he ran,
"Fengmei, Fengmei, come out quickly, come out, go home, my sister-in-law is here, Fengmei, Fengmei..."
About ten minutes later, Zhao Fengjuan heard two people talking as they walked out of the woods.
"Fengjuan, come if you want. I'll take all the firewood I collected today back home. Otherwise, if we leave it here, it might get taken away by others."
"Oh, hurry up, my sister-in-law is still waiting outside. It would be the same if you come over tomorrow to get the firewood."
"sister,"
Zhao Fengjuan looked at her elder sister, who was wearing a beige headscarf and had a dry face. Upon closer inspection, there were many scratches on her face, and her hair was flying around in disarray, making her look very disheveled.
"Second sister, are you coming?"
Zhao Fengmei was embarrassed when her own sister saw her like this.
"Well, you go back with your brother-in-law first. I'll bring the firewood back. It will be quick and we'll be home soon."
As she said that, Zhao Fengmei turned around and was about to walk towards the woods again. Zhao Dan angrily pulled her back and shouted at her loudly,
"Didn't I tell you to come back tomorrow and take it back? My sister-in-law has been here for a long time. Do you have the nerve to let her wait for you at home?"
"Brother-in-law, I think my elder sister is right,"
Hearing that Zhao Fengjuan agreed with Zhao Fengmei's idea, Zhao Dan quickly let go of his wife's hand, looked at his sister-in-law with an embarrassed smile, and was about to say something, but Zhao Fengjuan did not give him a chance to speak.
"Well, brother-in-law, you stay and pull all the firewood back, and I'll take my sister back with me in the cart."
"No, sister-in-law, me?"
"Zhao Dan, are you really not a man? My sister has already done it, you just pulled it back and can't do it?"
"No, sister-in-law, listen to me. If I pull it alone, when will I get home?"
"No hurry, my sister will go back and cook first, so when you come back it will be ready for you to eat."
Hearing this, Zhao Dan smiled.
"Sister-in-law, don't you know? Your sister can't cook. I'm the one who cooks in our family. Forget it. Come get the firewood tomorrow. I'll go back and cook for you."
"Second sister, you should take your eldest brother-in-law back and let him cook delicious food. I can get this little firewood back in a while. You two go first."
"Big sister..."
With a sharp shout, Zhao Fengjuan grabbed her elder sister back and said to Zhao Dan,
"My elder sister can't do it, but I can. I'll leave the work here to you. I just want to have a private chat with my elder sister. Let's go."
As she spoke, Zhao Fengjuan reached out to grab Zhao Fengmei. Zhao Fengmei tried to struggle, but was forcefully pulled away by Zhao Fengjuan.
After walking a few steps, Zhao Fengjuan shouted to Zhao Dan behind her,
"Brother-in-law, you have to come back soon. I'm waiting to tell you how to make money."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll pull it back right away. You guys go back first, I'll be there soon."
Although Zhao Dan was very reluctant to do this job, when he heard Zhao Fengjuan's last words, his blood immediately boiled and he inexplicably had more strength.
"Second sister, how about I help your brother-in-law load the car and then I go back? He can't do it alone."
"Okay, okay, just spoil him. You've treated a grown man like your son. Look, look, what has become of your family."
Until this time, Zhao Fengmei was still thinking about going back to get firewood. Zhao Fengjuan was so angry that she grabbed her arm and threw her out.
"Zhao Fengmei, are you not good-looking or are you unwanted? Or are you still missing a father? You got a useless thing like this, and you deserve to live like this.
Look at yourself again, you're not even thirty years old, but your face is full of wrinkles, like an old lady in her seventies or eighties. Aren't you afraid that my brother-in-law will dislike you?"
Zhao Fengmei stared blankly at her sister who had suddenly become fierce, and after a while she said something in a low voice.
"Second sister, don't say anything more. I'll go back with you, cook for you, kill a chicken, and stew it for you."
Zhao Fengjuan looked at her sister and glared at her fiercely, but still walked over, took her arm and walked down the mountain.
"Sister, I know you like your brother-in-law, but men should do the work at home. If you keep controlling him like this, he'll get spoiled. One day, he'll find someone better and leave you and the kids. You'll be crying your eyes out then."
Zhao Fengmei didn't say anything, but just listened to Zhao Fengjuan's chattering in her ear until she reached the foot of the mountain and saw a car parked on the side of the road. She then looked at her sister in surprise and asked,
"Second sister, is this your car?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zheng opened the car door and walked out, then hurriedly trotted over to greet him.
"Sister-in-law, this is my eldest sister, right?"
"Well, this is my elder sister Zhao Fengmei, and this is my driver Xiao Zheng. Get in the car, elder sister. We can talk when we get home if you have anything to say."
Zhao Fengmei had never seen such a scene before. She nodded repeatedly and greeted Xiao Zheng with a smile. With Zhao Fengjuan's push, she finally got into the car.
When the car stopped at the gate, Xiao Zheng quickly got out to open the door for the two ladies and said tactfully,
"Sister-in-law, I won't go in. I'll rest in the car for a while."
"Okay then, just take a nap in the car. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
The two sisters walked into the house hand in hand. As soon as they stepped into the sinking ground, Zhao Fengjuan felt an inexplicable tremor in her heart.
"Sister, we can't live here anymore. Let's talk about whether to build a house or not, but I'm afraid something bad will happen if people live in this house. So, is there any vacant house in the village? I'll rent it for you to live in for the winter first."
"Second sister, come in and talk."
Zhao Fengmei pulled Zhao Fengjuan into the house and hurriedly wanted to pour water for Zhao Fengjuan, but Zhao Fengjuan pulled her back and pressed her on the edge of the kang, saying,
"Hurry up and do it. You've been busy all day. I'll get you some water so you can take a break."
Zhao Fengmei looked at her sister, smiled bitterly, and let her pour her some water.
"The house is no longer viable, but we can still fool around through the winter. Um, Mom has told you that, right?"
Zhao Fengmei took the bowl of water and asked her sister embarrassedly.
"You can fool me, but aren't the children afraid of living in a house like this? When the snow falls in winter and piles up on the roof, can your house withstand it?"
