When Jiang Xuan returned home that day, Hu Tao was hanging clothes to dry in the yard.
Seeing her return, Hu Tao smiled and said, "You're back? You must be exhausted from riding your bike. Come inside and rest for a while."
Jiang Xuan parked the car in the shade, took out the braised meat and pancakes she bought at the school gate, and said, "I'm not tired, Auntie. Where are Dian Dian and Fan Xing?"
"Dian Dian went to play with the children in the yard, and Fan Xing went out with Xiu Xiu, saying they were going to the store to buy pencils."
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first, and I'll cook dinner when I come out."
"No need, you have to go to school tomorrow. What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
"I bought some braised meat and some pancakes. I'm thinking of stir-frying some shredded potatoes and making some millet porridge, and that should be enough."
“Okay, we still have potatoes at home. I’ll cook them after I finish hanging up the clothes.”
Jiang Xuan washed her hands, grabbed her clothes, and went to the bathroom.
She almost threw up when she opened the bathroom door.
There was a pile of feces in the bathroom.
She stepped back and asked, "Auntie, did Diandian use the toilet in the bathroom?"
"No, there's a toilet right next door. How could he possibly use the bathroom? I taught my children when they were kids not to pee or poop anywhere, so what?"
Jiang Xuan gagged: "Why was there a pile of poop in the bathroom?"
"Huh? No way, I've been home all day, no one went in. Let me think... oh right, the lady next door came over today and took a shower. She wouldn't do something like that, would she?"
Jiang Xuan's vision went black; she almost fainted from anger.
"You mean Xiuxiu's grandma? Didn't she move away? Is she back now?"
"She said she came over to pick up something, and when she came back she asked if she could use the bathroom. I thought we were neighbors, so I let her take a shower. She took a shower and left, and I didn't even go in to check. Who knew she would do something so disgusting?"
Jiang Xuan was almost furious.
She doesn't provoke trouble, but she's definitely not afraid of trouble.
Since Zhang Guiying is shameless, she might as well not give her any face either.
She put down the clothes, then grabbed the bolt and angrily went to find Zhang Guiying.
Hu Tao pulled Jiang Xuan aside, saying, "Forget it, Jiang Xuan. There's no need to bother with someone like that."
"Why should we let it go? She's already bullied us, and you think we can just let it go? If I let her off today, she'll drag us down with her next time."
Zhang Guiying was chatting with several older women under the big locust tree in the courtyard.
His voice was so loud that it could be heard from ten miles away.
She's been having a great time these past few days.
Ma Xiaolan suddenly went crazy, shouting and demanding a divorce. She said that it was fine if they didn't get a divorce, but the two of them had to move to the eldest son's house.
To give their son, Sun Jianjun, a place to stay, they temporarily compromised.
They originally thought their eldest daughter-in-law wouldn't want them, but Liu Maihong treated them very well, calling them "Mom and Dad" so affectionately.
Hearing this warmed her heart.
She would cook three meals for them each day, wash the family's clothes, tidy up the house, and sweep the yard. The rest of the time she would just sit outside enjoying the cool air.
Today she came to the courtyard to chat with some of her old friends.
Judging that it was about time, Zhang Guiying stood up, patted her bottom, and said, "Alright, you guys chat, I'm going over there to cook for my precious grandson."
“Guiying, how can your eldest daughter-in-law be like this? You’re so old, you should be enjoying your retirement. Why are you still cooking for them? You didn’t have to cook when you lived with Jianjun.”
Li Fanghua said, "Now, I not only don't cook, but I don't even have to fold my blankets. Xiaoyan folds them for me every morning."
She is about the same age as Zhang Guiying.
Zhang Guiying felt a pang of sadness. "Sigh, Jianguo and Maihong don't want me to cook either. They keep telling me to rest and take care of my health. But you don't have a grandson, so you don't know. My grandson is so attached to me. He insists on eating my cooking, saying that his mother's cooking doesn't taste good. How can I not cook?"
Li Fanghua's expression changed; her daughter-in-law's inability to have children was already a source of pain for her.
Why do you speak so sarcastically?
Zhang Guiying feigned innocence: "No, there's nothing thorny about it. I'm not good with words, please don't mind me, sister-in-law. You guys chat first, I'm leaving."
As soon as Zhang Guiying turned around, Jiang Xuan rushed over angrily, holding a door bolt: "Zhang Guiying!"
Everyone was stunned. Had this platoon leader Lu's son gone mad? Why was he suddenly acting like a butcher?
It looks rather scary.
Zhang Guiying guessed it and felt guilty.
She feigned composure, "What are you doing? What are you doing? How can you be so disrespectful? Do you think you can just call me by my name like that?"
Jiang Xuan walked over and, without saying a word, struck Zhang Guiying on the leg with a stick.
Zhang Guiying sat on the ground in pain, wailing and howling: "Ouch, you heartless bastard, what are you doing? Ouch, my leg! My leg is broken!"
Jiang Xuan had vented her anger, and Li Fanghua felt incredibly pleased.
This thing needs cleaning up.
Ma Jinhua frowned. "Jiang Xuan, what are you doing? Let's talk this out. You'll kill someone if you keep doing this."
Jiang Xuan was furious. "Why don't you ask this old idiot what he did wrong first?"
Ma Jinhua had dealt with Jiang Xuan a few times and knew that Jiang Xuan was not an unreasonable person.
Her sudden change of heart might be because Zhang Guiying did something that was unbearable for others.
She turned to Zhang Guiying: "Sister-in-law, what exactly did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. What could I, with my old bones and limbs, do?"
"Are you fucking insane?! How dare you poop in our bathroom! Why don't you just poop in your pot?"
Jiang Xuan got so angry about this that her stomach hurt, and she started swinging the door bolt again.
Li Fanghua opened her eyes wide and asked Liu Cailian next to her, "Ah, did I hear that right? She took a dump in someone's bathroom?"
Liu Cailian said in a low voice, "I don't know. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that. Let's listen again."
"Alright, alright, I won't hit her again." Ma Jinhua quickly grabbed the stick from Jiang Xuan's hand. "She's old and her bones are brittle. Don't break her bones. Calm down first."
"How can I stay calm when she does such a shameless and immoral thing?"
Zhang Guiying shouted, "You're accusing me! There's a toilet right in the yard, how could I possibly do such a thing?"
The others thought about it and agreed, "That makes sense. The toilet is right in the yard, so why would anyone go to the shower room to use the toilet?"
Although Jiang Xuan and Ma Xiaolan have a good relationship, she seems to have always disliked Zhang Guiying.
She had only been living here for a short time when she instigated Ma Xiaolan to drive Zhang Guiying away.
Is she deliberately framing someone again this time?
Ma Jinhua: "Jiang Xuan, why don't you go ask your two kids? Kids are mischievous, they might do something like that. My son even peed in our pot when he was little."
“Yes, yes, it must have been done by a child,” Liu Cailian said. “You can’t just hit someone without evidence.”
Li Fanghua glanced sideways at the screen without saying a word, quietly watching the scene unfold.
