Zhang Cuicui's words amused Zhao Qingyan and Liu Xiaohua.
“That makes sense. It’s most frustrating when you can see something but can’t touch it. Hasn’t your grandma ever come to your house to make a scene?” Liu Xiaohua asked.
"How could there not have been any trouble? My grandma went over and made a scene the day the roof beam was raised for our house."
"I only have one son, what's the point of building such a big house? It would be better to give up two rooms for my uncles' sons," Zhang Cuicui said.
Zhao Qingyan stared in disbelief.
"No, didn't we sever all ties? How dare your grandma ask for the house? Did she even give it to her?"
Zhang Cuicui gave a cold laugh.
"How could that be? My mother came out with a kitchen knife. She tried to kill my grandmother as soon as she saw her, because she was the one who killed her daughter."
After the severing of ties, my father said that he couldn't keep anything under his name, so he put the house and land in my mother's name.
My grandma scolded him for being unfilial, and my dad said that my grandma killed my little sister.
She said she should have drowned my father long ago, and my father said she had already drowned my little sister.
Anyway, the family ties were severed. Later, my uncles came to my house and caused trouble, so my father bypassed the village chief and reported it directly to the authorities.
After the county magistrate gave them a beating, the family quieted down.
Zhao Qingyan gave a thumbs up.
"Second sister-in-law, I admire you. Your father and mother are both like this."
Brave, decisive, your grandma really is... I don't know what words to use to describe her."
"Sigh, what courage? It's all because we were forced to. A child is a piece of flesh that fell from a mother's body, how can she not feel pain?"
There are only two children in my family, my younger brother and me. After my younger sister passed away, my mother never got pregnant again.
However, my family is doing quite well now.
My goodness, she's finally gotten her comeuppance.
In her early years, she got into a fight and suffered a stroke. As a result, neither of her two most beloved sons wanted to take care of her.
My uncle actually dared to come to my house and try to frame my father.
My mom chased me out with a big broom.
The older women who dressed her in her old clothes said that she smelled terrible when she died, and maggots were growing on some parts of her body.
It's obvious no one takes care of her; she even urinates and defecates in bed. No wonder it's all karma.
Zhao Qingyan and Liu Xiaohua both felt a pang of sympathy upon hearing this.
"People, don't do bad things, because you'll have to pay for them sooner or later," Zhao Qingyan concluded.
This made the two sisters-in-law laugh heartily.
Around 5 PM, Liu Xiaohua and Zhang Cuicui finished cooking and served the meal before Huang returned.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she called for Qingyan to fetch water for her, as the old lady wanted to take a good bath.
The water in the large vat in the yard is warm enough for a bath.
"Milk, the water is ready, you can wash now," Zhao Qingyan instructed after preparing the water.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, my dear. I'll go wash the clothes once I've found them," Huang replied.
The three women, including the aunt and sister-in-law, were quite surprised that Huang asked to take a bath as soon as she entered the house.
"I wonder what happened. Did Grandma get something dirty on her?" Zhang Cuicui asked.
"Possibly. Who knows what kind of commotion it's causing over there? Maybe some old woman is blowing her snot or something and it disgusts Grandma." Liu Xiaohua nodded in agreement.
Zhao Qingyan remained silent; she felt nauseous no matter which way she thought about it.
The three women, aunt and sister-in-law, stood at the entrance of the main room, staring at the door of the bathroom, waiting for Madam Huang to come out and answer their questions.
Huang took a bath very quickly; in fact, she took off her clothes even faster.
I went into the bathroom and immediately took off all my clothes and threw them at the door.
Normally, these clothes would be kept in a basket. They would be taken out to wash after the bath.
Judging from her appearance today, it seems she doesn't want these clothes anymore.
After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes and came out.
I finally feel refreshed.
"What's wrong with you three? Why are you all standing there staring at this old woman? I'm not pale."
Huang rolled her eyes at the three of them and went straight into the main room.
Seeing the food served, he sat down in the main seat and started eating.
After taking a few bites, I noticed that the three guys with gossip written all over their faces were still standing there motionless.
He raised his hand in a gesture of refusal, "Don't ask me anything, don't ask me anything yet, let this old woman eat first."
The three of them looked at each other and saw gossip in each other's eyes.
Usually, the group would chat during meals, but today not a single person spoke.
I don't know if she's afraid that talking will affect her appetite, or if she's afraid that talking will affect the quality of the gossip she'll hear later.
After the meal, the two sisters-in-law cleaned up the dishes and took them to the kitchen, while Zhao Qingyan pretended to go back to her room and brought out some fruit, claiming that she had just gone up the mountain to get it.
As for where these fruits came from, the two sisters-in-law didn't care. They just ate whatever they could find, since it was probably bought by their grandmother.
Besides, even if the milk gives the third sister a lot of good things, in the end, not much of it actually ends up in her mouth; it's all given out to everyone else anyway.
Fruits, candies, and tea were laid out, and the tea party began.
Seeing the same expressions on the faces of the three women, Huang Shi's previous nausea disappeared, and she actually laughed.
"Alright, stop staring at me, I'll tell you what happened."
That Liu Zhangshi, she failed to get anything from your third uncle's house last time, and here she is again.
Not only did she come this time, but she also brought all the snotty-nosed kids in her family, along with her brother and sister-in-law.
Seeing that only Liu Xiaomai was an adult in the family, and the rest were all children, they thought, "Great, like mice in a rice jar, there's not enough room for them to cause trouble."
Those snotty kids would snatch the grasshoppers and bamboo dragonflies that the Third Uncle's children were playing with.
If they didn't give it to her, they would start fighting. Liu Xiaomai tried to break up the fight, but her mother and sisters-in-law held her back.
Her mother ordered Xiaomai's brothers to bring out all the grain from the kitchen. That wasn't all; they also rummaged through the granary for dried meat and pheasants.
"How can this be allowed?" Xiaomai tried desperately to stop her, but her mother slapped her to the ground and then kicked her several times.
Blood started flowing immediately. Little Orange, being somewhat sensible, saw her aunt lying on the ground and rushed to find someone. Luckily, the little guy was clever; he ran while shouting for help.
If anyone lives nearby, hurry over. If any adults are quick, go to the fields and call your third great-uncle's family back.
When I arrived home at the summer solstice, the wheat was almost in shock.
The Liu family members, carrying their belongings, were blocked in the courtyard.
He was even planning to get violent towards the villagers, but when Xia Zhi came back, he took down his brothers-in-law.
Grandma Guihua led the other wives and beat Liu Zhangshi and her daughters-in-law to a pulp.
That's why they say you should always pick the softest fruit to eat.
They were so brave when they beat Liu Xiaomai, but after being disciplined by your Grandma Guihua, they immediately became obedient.
When I arrived, those women were crying and wailing, their snot flying everywhere.
When I came back, Xia Zhi came back alone; Xiao Mai was still in the pharmacy.
They said if we had waited any longer, the baby would have been gone. The person can't move now and can't be subjected to any more stimulation.
