When Mother Gu saw her second son's wife coming over, she felt relieved for some reason.
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law were at loggerheads, she hurried out to call for help.
Seeing that the relationship had already been torn apart, and this sister-in-law dared to throw something at her, Mrs. Gu simply started to challenge her: "Is there anything wrong with what I said? Did you accept the pheasant that my parents gave you?"
"I accepted it, what's wrong?
If I remember correctly, you and your parents have already separated, right? Whatever your parents decide to do with the pheasant they get is their business. Does it have anything to do with you?
Or do you want this pheasant too?
So, you want to exchange it for meat? Are you willing to do that?
I traded two kilograms of mutton with my mother. If you bring two kilograms of pork, I will trade it with you. Are you willing to do so?
What do you mean I should give? Just because my family gets more meat, should we give more? What kind of logic is that? My husband worked so hard to earn this meat. If you want it, go earn it yourself. Why are you always looking to others for it?
Why didn't you give your parents two pounds of meat from your family's share? You dare to complain that what I gave you is too little? I'm giving you face.
If my parents exchanged meat with my family, they would be partial, but if they gave it to your family for free, then they are not partial, right? You want to get something for nothing? No way."
Li Qingyun was in the right, and Kuang Kuang started to retort her angrily. Mrs. Gu couldn't say a word and was completely humiliated by the retort.
Mrs. Gu was not in the right to begin with, and she wanted to get a pheasant for free. In front of Mother Gu, she could even use the excuse of favoritism to cover up her purpose. But in front of this sister-in-law, she was speechless.
She was not stupid. She would not trade two pounds of fat pork for more than two pounds of pheasant.
It's cold now and the pheasants can't find food, so they are all skinny. This pheasant is only about two or three kilograms, and it only weighs two kilograms after plucking the feathers. It's all lean meat. How can it compare to wild boar meat with fat?
The fat can be melted into lard for cooking, and the lean meat can be marinated and eaten slowly. It is enough to eat for a long time. Only a fool would not change it!
"You, you are too disrespectful. I am your sister-in-law after all. I just said a few words, and you have so many words to say to me." Mrs. Gu replied weakly.
"Respect? Do you deserve it? Respect is earned through self-earning. You said bad things about me behind my back, got caught red-handed and refused to change your ways. And you still expect me to respect you? You're dreaming."
Li Qingyun was not polite either. Anyway, she was determined to give her sister-in-law a good beating today. She would be so scared of her when she saw her that she would not dare to talk nonsense again.
"Sister-in-law, isn't that a bit too much?" Brother Gu's voice came from the door.
"Boss, you are finally back. Look, people are climbing on my head to poop and pee. You must take charge of me today." When Mrs. Gu saw Brother Gu coming back, she felt like she saw a savior.
Mother Gu rushed to the new house of the old family not far away and called the whole family back.
Brother Gu entered the door first and heard Li Qingyun's last words.
"Brother, you came at the right time. Let's talk it out in front of our parents today." Li Qingyun was not afraid anymore. Even if the emperor came today, she would still be right.
Gu's father also came in soon after. He already knew roughly what was going on from Gu's mother. He had originally wanted to divide the family property smoothly, but now something unexpected had happened.
"Come with me." He walked into the main room with a serious face and his hands behind his back.
The family set up a three-court trial in the main hall.
The two children, Da Ni and Er Ni, hid in the corner, looking at the adults' tense posture, shivering in fear.
Li Qingyun was soft-hearted after all and didn't want to get involved with the child. She took out the key to her front door and handed it to Dani: "Take Erni to Second Aunt's house and help her look after Erbao for a while. When he wakes up, play with him. There are some food on the cabinet at home, you can help yourself."
Dani looked at her parents timidly and didn't dare to take the key.
Mrs. Gu was reluctant to let her give orders to her own children, but she didn't want the children to get involved in the conflicts between adults, so she nodded and let them go.
Father Gu looked at Li Qingyun's actions and felt a little comforted. Among his two daughters-in-law, at least one was an open-minded person.
Li Qingyun picked up the package she brought and dusted off the dust on it.
"Let me explain this matter first. Mom's words might make my sister-in-law think she's biased."
Father Gu and Brother Gu both nodded in agreement. Sister-in-law Gu wanted to say something but held it back.
Li Qingyun then told them exactly what she had heard Mrs. Gu say to her mother.
"Brother, I want to ask you, are my parents partial to one another?" Li Qingyun said, staring at Brother Gu and asking.
After listening to her statement, Brother Gu saw that his wife had a brain as big as a quail, so of course she understood, so it was probably true.
This woman, why is she so stupid at this critical moment? Is a pheasant so important?
This made him unable to hold his head up in front of his sister-in-law for no reason.
"Mom and Dad have never been partial. It's your sister-in-law who is wrong." Brother Gu said with a smile.
"Since we've come this far today, let's make it clear all at once, so that my sister-in-law won't be dissatisfied.
I've moved out for the past few years and haven't taken a single needle or thread from home. My parents still earn a penny, especially my dad, who's a well-known carpenter. Where does all that money go? My family hasn't seen a penny!
I have been the only one taking care of my two children. Apart from helping me with the confinement period, mom mostly helps you take care of the children on weekdays, right?
Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about now. If there is anything delicious at home, I will always remember to send a bite to my parents. You also get to enjoy it a lot, right? Do I care about these things?
Your daughters Dani and Erni are learning from Dabao, and I always leave food for them and treat them with candies and twisted dough sticks. Why, is this all the responsibility of me, the second aunt?
You didn't talk about it before you split up the family, but now that you have, it's your parents' business how they want to deal with their things. From what I heard from my sister-in-law, do you still treat them as your own things?
Gu Tingzhou went through so much trouble to get the sheep from the mountain, I can give them to whoever I want. What do you mean it’s my turn to give it? Why don’t you give it to me?
Mom just traded some mutton with me for the pheasant that belonged to them, but her nose wasn't a nose and her eyes weren't eyes.
What do you mean by partiality? If I really am partial, it's towards you. My family didn't get anything."
With every word Li Qingyun said, Brother Gu's face darkened. Shame took over, and being spoken of the pain point in his heart tore off his fig leaf. He was angry at his wife's ignorance, but he couldn't lose his temper on the spot.
"Yes, your sister-in-law is right. I apologize to you on behalf of your sister-in-law. She can't speak, so please don't be offended." Brother Gu was as tough as he was when he first came in, and he is as humble now.
Li Qingyun didn't want to pay much attention to his apology.
"The second son's wife is right! Your mother and I should also apologize to you. We have indeed been biased over the years, favoring the eldest family, and you have suffered." Father Gu stood up and said at this time.
