Chapter 135: Being beaten is a daily routine
"Mom, I know what's going on." Jian Xiaojing looked down at her hands that were almost numb from the cold and murmured softly.
"Xiao Jing..." Li Meiqian seemed to want to say something.
"Mom, we should go out. If it's too late, we won't be able to buy good mutton." Jian Xiaojing interrupted her.
Li Meiqian glanced at the alarm clock on the low table and nodded helplessly.
In winter, many people buy mutton. If you go too late, what is left are some scraps, either oil or tendons.
The two did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly took the scarves and went out.
"Zhongliang's wife, are you and your daughter going to buy vegetables?" As soon as they came downstairs, a familiar middle-aged woman greeted them.
"Yi Yi has been busy in the store recently and has lost a lot of weight. I thought of buying some mutton to nourish her." Li Meiqian smiled gently.
"You'd have to be the one to think that." The middle-aged woman sighed.
Among those remarried wives in the courtyard, which one of them doesn’t only care about having children for herself?
The better ones can pretend to treat everyone equally on the surface, but those with narrow minds directly put the differential treatment openly.
If outsiders say anything, people will just say, "It's hard to be a stepmother!"
"Yi Yi lost her mother when she was young, and my mother-in-law...as her aunt, isn't it my duty to love her more?" Li Meiqian sighed helplessly.
"She hasn't changed her mind yet?" the middle-aged woman asked in a low voice.
"The children have grown up and have their own thoughts. As long as they are happy, you can call them whatever you want." Li Meiqian smiled.
"I won't chat with you anymore. If you go too late, you won't be able to buy good mutton. My daughter Yiyi likes to eat lean lamb and won't touch the fat. We have to leave quickly."
"Then you guys should go quickly! A lot of people are buying mutton these days." The middle-aged woman said hurriedly.
After Li Meiqian and her daughter walked away, the middle-aged woman spat on the ground.
"Why is she pretending? With her weight of just two taels, she's pretending to be a good wife and mother. She's really not afraid of making people laugh."
"Sister-in-law Sun, I noticed that your Xiaocao has been coming back quite late recently?" asked a young wife next to her.
"Of course not. You don't know. The New Year is coming soon. Many young girls, young wives, and wives from wealthy families are buying clothes. Some people are still coming in after dark. The guests are here. You can't chase them out, right?" Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
"That girl Yi Yi must have made a fortune." The young wife sighed.
"Look at what you said. The rent is free, but there are still four people's salaries, as well as daily living expenses, water and electricity bills. You don't know how well those girls eat. They have meat dishes every day, including beef, mutton, ribs, and fish in rotation." Mrs. Sun immediately began to defend her.
"In the evening, it's either bone dumpling soup or egg noodles. My little girl has been gone for a few months and has gained dozens of pounds. Many of her old clothes can no longer fit into her."
"If you calculate it this way, your Xiaocao earns more money than your brother Sun." The young wife looked envious.
These days, although the living standards of most families have improved, it is only an improvement.
There are still very few people who can eat meat every day.
Not to mention the delicious food.
Sun Xiaocao can eat delicious food every day and earn fifty yuan a month. Who wouldn’t be envious after hearing this!
"Sister-in-law Sun, tell your Xiaocao that if they need someone in the future, please think of me." The young wife smiled and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and stuffed them into Sister-in-law Sun's pocket.
"Okay! If we recruit more people in the future, I'll tell you." Mrs. Sun patted her chest.
"Xia Shuhui..."
Not far away, Sun Qiang had a dark face.
"Dad, weren't you at work? Why are you back?" Mrs. Sun's body shook uncontrollably.
Sun Qiang would only call her full name when he was extremely angry.
And every time she called her full name, what was waiting for her was...
A severe beating.
Mrs. Sun reflected quickly in her mind.
cigarette……
She had just checked this morning and there was still one pack.
liquor……
There is still half a jar left, which can last for at least another week!
Peanuts to go with the wine...
Freshly fried this morning!
money……
No one has touched him!
Xiaocao's salary...
They were all submitted on time!
"I came back to die!" Sun Qiang's voice was filled with gritted teeth.
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs without paying attention to the strange looks from the people around him.
Mrs. Sun knew that her husband was very angry, so she didn't dare to say anything more and quickly followed him upstairs.
Not long after, sounds of punching and kicking were heard from Sun Qiang's room.
Then there was the sound of a woman sobbing softly.
If someone else made this kind of noise, the corridor would definitely be filled with people watching.
Sun Qiang's home...
No one really went to see it.
after all……
Sun Qiang beats his wife as if it were a common occurrence. Who has the time to watch others eat?
If people didn't hear this noise for too long, they would find it strange.
Just like the last few months.
To be precise, it should be...
Ever since Sun Xiaocao went to the clothing store, people rarely heard this noise.
When they suddenly heard the noise again today, everyone was shocked to realize that they hadn't heard Sun Qiang beating his wife for so long.
Mrs. Sun curled up on the ground, sobbing softly.
There were melon seeds scattered all over the ground.
"You've never eaten melon seeds, right?" Sun Qiang rarely stopped shouting.
But there was still gritted teeth in his voice.
"No..." Mrs. Sun shook her head hurriedly.
She knew that if she didn't explain herself clearly today, the beating would continue.
"Still recruiting people? Let me tell you, what did you tell them? Did they invite you to eat meat?" Sun Qiang took a deep puff of his cigarette.
"You haven't even wiped your own ass yet, and you're already thinking about wiping other people's asses. Are you a slut?!"
"You have several daughters at home eating for free, and you don't worry about them, but you are worrying about ambitions. What's wrong? Are you attracted to her father-in-law and want to become her step-mother-in-law? Or are you attracted to her man and want to have an affair with him?"
Sun Qiang became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and kicked his wife Sun on the butt.
"I was wrong! I will never dare to be ambitious again." Mrs. Sun curled up her body and hurriedly admitted her mistake and apologized.
"You'd better not dare. If I hear you doing those treacherous things again, I will beat you to death." Sun Qiang threatened in a low voice.
"besides……"
"Sun Qiang, Director Wu is looking for you." A man's voice came from downstairs.
"Coming!" Sun Qiang responded to the outside, and when he turned to look at Mrs. Sun, his face was fierce again.
"you……"
"I won't dare to do it again. Next time Xiaocao and the others need someone, I'll let Xiaolan go." Mrs. Sun said hurriedly.
"You're smart!" Sun Qiang put out the cigarette in his hand and turned to walk out.
"Dad, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Mrs. Sun got up from the ground.
Maybe it was because she moved too loudly when she spoke, which pulled the wound at the corner of her mouth, causing her to frown in pain.
"Make some twice-cooked pork. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Remember to buy fattier ones." Sun Qiang's tone was obviously much better than before.
"I understand!" A smile appeared on Mrs. Sun's face again.
