"Liu, if you don't let go, I'll make him divorce you as soon as Chaodong comes back!"
Yue Jiuyue couldn't free her leg no matter what she did. She didn't want to hurt anyone, spend money on medical treatment, or delay the work at home. In the end, she had no choice but to resort to her ultimate weapon.
Suddenly, Yue Jiuyue realized that she was becoming increasingly similar to the character of the wicked mother-in-law, which left her speechless.
But those words were incredibly damaging, and sure enough, Madam Liu immediately let go of his hand.
"Mother, I really won't do it again! I promise I'll listen to you from now on. Please don't separate the family, and please don't let Xiaoman's father divorce me. Please, Mother!"
This time, Liu didn't wail loudly, but pleaded softly, showing she had learned her lesson.
"It depends on your performance."
After Yue Jiuyue finished speaking in a deep voice, she bent down and sat down, continuing to look at the wheat on the threshing floor.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Shi said nothing in the end, picked up Xiao Man who was sitting on the ground eating sparrows, and walked home.
Actually, this wasn't the first time her mother-in-law had said things like "divorce her." Every time she brought it up before, she would plead with her mother-in-law pitifully, and her mother-in-law would be helpless. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't do anything about it, and the women in the village would call her a vicious mother-in-law.
But this time, she felt that what her mother-in-law said was true. If she didn't listen to her again, her mother-in-law could really get Xiaoman's father to divorce her.
So, she really behaved herself this time.
As for how long he can behave, only God knows.
In the evening, the three Lin brothers carried the wheat they had harvested that day to the threshing ground, one load at a time, working even harder than yesterday!
This was because when they carried the first load of wheat home, they smelled a strong aroma of meat broth. Since they were the only household nearby, it must have been made by them. They asked around and found out that their mother had caught a lot of sparrows that day in the threshing ground—more than twenty!
The three brothers were ecstatic, even happier than during the Lunar New Year.
Then, the other families in the village saw Yue Jiuyue's three sons, as if they had taken some kind of magic pill, carrying heavy loads of wheat as if it were nothing, and finishing them off with exceptional efficiency, one load after another, as if they were playing.
Villagers: \(◎o◎)／!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Lin Chaodong and his companions had no idea what the villagers were thinking. They happily carried the wheat back to their own threshing ground, leaving Lin Chaonan alone to guard the wheat while the others went home to prepare the sparrow and wild vegetable soup that was about to be cooked.
This wasn't to bully Lin Chaonan. In previous years, the brothers would take turns keeping watch at the threshing ground. However, this year, the second brother, Lin Chaoxi, wasn't home, and the fourth brother, Lin Chaobei, had injured his thigh and hadn't fully recovered. Yesterday, the eldest brother, Lin Chaodong, kept watch, and tonight it was Lin Chaonan's turn.
Lin Chaonan felt so wronged; he had never felt so wronged before.
It was a rare treat for the family to have meat. Everyone else was at home enjoying the aroma of the meat, but he was out in the dark threshing ground, winking at the moon and the stars, and being greeted by the mosquitoes that always welcomed him.
This is a feast for the mosquito world, isn't it?
Lin Chaonan scratched his itch, feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.
At the Lin family home, Yue Jiuyue returned to her room and lay down on the original owner's bed for a while.
There's nothing I can do; as I get older, it's easy for my back and waist to ache after doing even a little work. She even felt sleepy for a while this afternoon.
Of course, she didn't forget to put on a sheet of a similar color, mainly because she was still dirty and hadn't washed herself, and she didn't want to soil her clean bedding.
