Chapter 51 The People Are Angry
Song Xiangwu was so angry that she was shaking. She turned around and wanted to ask the elder Wei Shufen in the room to judge: "Look at these two children, are they behaving properly? What kind of atmosphere is there in your Shen family? My daughter has been corrupted since she married in."
Wei Shufen was just enduring it, because she liked the fourth son's wife very much. She felt so heartbroken when she heard her own mother scolding, saying a few words, and taking sides. She didn't know how many times she wiped away tears at the door.
"What do you mean by being taught badly? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. Ren Wanwan is a good girl who is well-behaved, sensible and kind-hearted. You don't want such a good girl, but I do!"
The fourth brother and his mother-in-law have already fallen out, so she might as well throw in the towel and make a fuss. Wanwan is a clear-headed girl and will not blame her.
"Look at yourself, how can you be a mother? You don't treat your own daughter as a human being now that you have a stepdaughter. You scold her as soon as you come in. Have you asked Wan Wan for her opinion? Get out of here right now. You are not welcome in our Shen family!"
Isn’t it said that country people have no manners? Look down on country people, well, there is no need for her to be polite to her. Wei Shufen just has a good temper, but she is definitely not weak. She rolled up her sleeves and pulled Song Xiangwu out.
Song Xiangwu was very embarrassed after being thrown out. She stood at the door of the Shen family and scolded the Shen family for being country people who didn't know the rules, saying that they had led a good girl astray and that their family was crooked because of the bad leadership.
She had a loud voice, and the neighbors nearby came out to watch the fun.
Wei Shufen smiled contemptuously and retorted by pinching her waist.
"We country folks are really not as good as you. You remarried and brought a stepdaughter, but you don't take your own daughter seriously. Come and see, folks, this woman is too much. Even I, the eldest aunt of the husband's family, can't stand it. What kind of mother is this? She bullies our Wanwan just because she has a stepdaughter."
"Today, our Wanwan went out to buy New Year's goods. She bought soles and cloth for her grandfather. She is a very filial child. She just got home and hadn't had a sip of water yet, but her mother came and pointed at our Wanwan's nose and scolded her. What was she scolding? She scolded our Wanwan for not helping her stepdaughter, who had a questionable class background, to leave the county town. God knows, her stepdaughter had a questionable class background and had a fight with others. It was the team leader who didn't let her go out... She can even blame our Wanwan for such a thing. Please judge, is it our Wanwan's fault, or is she good?"
Wei Shufen was really heartbroken, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
She is a member of the Shen family, and can be considered half-mother-in-law to Jiang Wanwan. She is usually a good person and has no conflicts with anyone. She is also very sensible and never takes the twins in her family to eat for free. If someone gives her a piece of thread, she will give him a needle. Wei Shufen has an extremely good reputation in the production team.
With her personality, she was able to stand up for Jiang Wanwan and even cry with red eyes, which indirectly proves that Jiang Wanwan is a good daughter-in-law.
The old woman from the Wang family, who was the oldest and more powerful in the team, smacked her toothless lips and said, "The fourth daughter-in-law of the Shen family also has a problem with her class background. Her life here is hard enough. Why doesn't this mother help out a little when she comes? Why is she pushing this mess onto her?"
"People always say that if there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather. I think this family has a stepmother and a stepfather. I didn't expect the fourth daughter-in-law of the Shen family to be so pitiful. Wei Shufen is a good person. If she didn't really love that girl, she would never stand on the street like a shrew to help. This matter must be the problem of Song Xiangwu and Jiang Lian."
The person who said this was Li Dashang's wife, who also had a loud voice. Anything that came out of her mouth would be known to the neighboring production team in no time. She was also good at description and could make an event sound vivid. Listening to her talk was like being there at the scene.
Jiang Lian asked Song Xiangwu to help her seek justice. Song Xiangwu didn't come back for a long time, and she heard a noise outside. She wrapped her wound with a scarf and went out to find Song Xiangwu.
Who knew that halfway through the journey, the team members pointed fingers at her and said, "It's her. She couldn't get out because of her bad background, so she forced the fourth brother's wife to help her."
"I don't think she's a good person. She instigated her stepmother to bully her sister. How despicable."
"Of course, it's a good thing. Can I play doubles with Lin You?"
“…”
"Eh? Did you hear that the team leader wants her to teach the kids how to read and write? Oh my God, this kind of person may lead my dog astray. I must tell the team leader to let her dig manure pits and dig canals, but she can't be the team's teacher."
The female comrades were talking to each other, becoming increasingly emotional, and looking at Jiang Lian with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
Although Jiang Lian is arrogant and has a bad temper and does not take these ants seriously, she is more clear-headed than Song Xiangwu. This is someone else's territory, and if they want to cause trouble, they can't be too obvious, otherwise they will be the ones who suffer.
But...this stupid woman, how could she mess up everything just by going out?
Jiang Lian quickened her pace and came to the door of Shen's house, where she saw Song Xiangwu, who was tense and extremely angry, and Wei Shuxiang, who was pinching her waist and crying and asking for justice.
Her eyelids twitched violently twice: "Mom! What are you doing here? Come back with me!"
Song Xiangwu didn't surpass Wei Shuxiang, and she didn't want to leave: "Where to go back? This shrew scolded me!"
She is the wife of the Jiang family, how can she lose face here?
She won't leave, she must win the argument!
People around were pointing and talking. Some were laughing at the joke, some were speaking up for the Jiang family, but no one spoke up for them.
Jiang Lian knew that Song Xiangwu was ill. It was such a trouble. She shouldn't have brought her here in the first place.
She didn't want to give up her teaching job in the brigade, so she pulled Song Xiangwu aside and whispered, "Linlin is crying at home. I'm afraid she's starving. You should go back and check on her."
Hearing that the child was hungry, Song Xiangwu showed anxiety on her face: "I am not like you poor country women. I... I have self-restraint."
This sentence was like stirring up a firehose. Not only Wei Shufen, but even the women who were watching the fun nearby came over.
Old Mrs. Wang was in her eighties. When she heard this, her eyes suddenly became sharp. She tapped the wooden cane in her hand and said, "What's wrong with being poor? Our Wang family has been poor peasants for eight generations. You educated youth have a bad class background, and you are asking to marry into our family to change your class background!"
Old Mrs. Wang spoke with great pride.
"That's right. Lin Youshuang from your educated youth team is begging us to marry into our poor peasant family. What qualifications do you have to look down on us?"
The life of the country people is hard enough, and they are full of resentment every day. Song Xiangwu humiliates the poor so much. There are the most people present, and the most are the poor people. No one will tolerate her!
