Chapter 45: Fight

In the kitchen, the war between the two women is about to break out.

Liu Xiangqin never thought that the third daughter-in-law would dare to attack her. She was so angry that her eyes turned red and she picked up a kitchen knife and started chopping.

"Let's destroy them all."

Wang Ziru was even more ruthless and threw the chopsticks in her hand towards Liu Xiangqin.

He simply picked up a pot of boiling hot water and splashed it out.

“Ahhhh!”

Suddenly there was a scream from the kitchen.

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she screamed, "Someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten..."

Several children who were playing in the yard heard the noise and ran in. When they saw a fight in the kitchen, they were scared out of their wits.

Zhai Zhaodi hurried out and called her father.

In the courtyard, Zhai Qingsong thought his mother was going crazy when he heard his daughter say that his wife and Wang Ziru had a fight.

He rushed into the kitchen and pulled the two women apart.

The workers hired by the old lady were also quite shocked. As farmers living in the deep mountains and rural areas, they didn't understand anything else, but Wang Ziru was a soldier's wife, so who dared to touch her?

That's just asking for trouble.

"What's the matter? The family is so busy, why are you still fighting in the stove?" Zhai Qingsong has always been a man of few words. In the past, because his wife's family had many brothers, he also received some help from his father-in-law's family when he just got married.

He was also very angry and pulled his wife out of the stove, his eyes blazing with anger.

The wife was splashed with dishwashing water, and her body was wet and dirty, with a distorted face.

"It's all that woman's fault! She provoked me! I won't let her off..." Liu Xiangqin was extremely angry, but she had no intention of letting it go.

Wang Ziru rolled up her flower-patterned jacket sleeves to her elbows and pointed at her sister-in-law who was cursing outside the stove room. "Come here! If you dare to come and hit me, I will kill you!"

Mrs. Liu was so angry that her face turned dark. "What a disgrace."

"Sister-in-law, if there is anything, let's talk it out. There's no need for us as a family to fight." Zhai Qingsong said.

"Brother!" Wang Ziru put her hands on her waist, her face still full of anger. "After I married into the Zhai family, I respected you very much, and I respected my eldest and second sisters-in-law equally. But you also often heard my two sisters-in-law and mother-in-law scolding me as a 'scumbag' all the time!"

"I let you scold me when Bao'er's father wasn't home. Now that my husband has come home, they still scold me like this. You have to look at the owner before you beat the dog, right?"

These words left Zhai Qingsong speechless.

Just as my sister-in-law said, all the women in the family are called Wang Ziru.

Several people in the yard ran in to see the excitement.

After hearing what Wang Ziru said, everyone felt that Liu Xiangqin had a bad mouth. It wasn't like she didn't have a name, she was used to swearing and she couldn't change it for the time being.

When Zhai Jiahao heard his sister-in-law mentioned his wife Xu Ping, he immediately turned around and said to Xu Ping, "Be more respectful to your sister-in-law in the future."

"It's not like I messed with her today."

Xu Ping turned around and went out to work.

Turning his head, Zhai Jiahao looked at his mother again, "Mom, you too, you were clearly in the kitchen, if you had stopped it, wouldn't it have been fine?"

"You idiot, it's easy for you to say it, but didn't you see the look on the third son's wife's face as if she wanted to eat someone?"

Mrs. Liu thought that if she had enough authority, she would have stopped it long ago.

But Liu Xiangqin was also a vegetarian. She picked up a kitchen knife and tried to chop someone. The third daughter-in-law was young after all, so she poured a pot of hot water over her...

Fortunately, she was standing far away, otherwise she would have been in trouble too.

Several masons were measuring the foundation and went in to help and persuade them.

Only then did Wang Ziru stop talking.

After this incident, the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Zhai family no longer dared to think about the garlic sprouts and green onions in the fields of the third son.

Mrs. Liu originally planned to quietly open the door of the third son's room when his wife was out, and go in to steal some dishes and food. However, when she saw how fierce the third son's wife was, she had to give up the idea.

The yard was busy again.

Xu Ping and another village woman were mixing cement and said, "I didn't realize that the third daughter-in-law was so cruel."

"Well, it's because she saw her man come home and someone supported her." The woman laughed.

Today, Zhai Qingsong is building a new house, and the workload is heavy in the first two days.

We hired seven or eight workers from the village to help.

Women were responsible for moving bricks and mixing cement.

On the first day of building a house, the mason had to measure the position of the foundation, and then use lime to draw a vertical circle of the foundation line below the measured ink line. Then a few farmers would break the ground and start digging the foundation.

Among them, an older man, a middle-aged mason in his forties named Zhao Fuhai, saw that Zhai Qingsong did not look well.

He smiled and said, "Qingsong, there are fights between sisters-in-law in the village. It's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

Another mason also advised: "Building a house requires good luck, so don't make trouble again."

Although only stoves and toilets were built, the countryside was still somewhat particular.

Zhai Qingsong looked up at the west compartment, feeling very heavy.

Fortunately, in a few months, my younger brother and his wife will follow the third brother to the army. If they stay at home, the three sisters-in-law will quarrel and make trouble every day.

Behind the house, Wang Ziru rested for a while.

She went out carrying a bamboo basket. Yesterday she promised to find some herbs for Tian Da Kui.

When passing by the chicken coop, Wang Ziru remembered that she had not fed the chickens today.

He quickly put down the small bamboo basket, cut a handful of grass on the spot, went to the kitchen to chop it up, and then used it to feed the chickens.

"Hens, hens, you better try your best and hold on for a few more days."

Tomorrow, I'll slaughter a hen and make soup.

This saves you from having to think about how to feed the chickens every day.

These days, people are short of food and clothing, so how can they have extra food to feed chickens?

Wang Ziru carried a small bamboo basket and a sickle and went to the forest behind the house.

Mrs. Liu cooked a bowl of egg noodles. When she heard that Wang Ziru had gone to the forest, she walked to the chicken coop with a bowl of egg noodles in her hand. She looked at the hens in the chicken coop with great reluctance, as the number of hens was decreasing day by day.

She really wanted to have a sip of chicken soup.

"If the third brother stews chicken again, an old woman like me will have to scoop up a big bowl of chicken no matter what."

Wang Ziru was lucky. Perhaps because there was no barefoot doctor in the village, no one usually went into the forest to collect herbs.

Every time the villagers go into the forest, they either chop wood or look for wild vegetables and fruits to fill their stomachs.

Instead, some precious herbs were forgotten in the forest.

After picking some herbs, Wang Ziru returned home after noon. She washed the herbs and sent them to Tian Dakui's house.

At Tian's house, he crushed the herbs, squeezed out the juice, added some warm water, and used it to wash Han Xiuxiang.

interior.

Han Xiuxiang was so moved that she shed tears, and regarded Wang Ziru as a great benefactor. "Girls! I really don't know how to thank you."

"Sister, you are really a living Bodhisattva. Come to our house for a bowl of sweet potato porridge at noon." Tian Da Kui persuaded her to stay.

"Sister-in-law and Brother Da Kui are also good people! However, I am a little hungry at this time, so I won't be polite." Wang Ziru was also a little hungry. She didn't even finish the bowl of egg noodles in the morning, but she slapped Liu Xiangqin's face. What a pity.

I ate sweet potato porridge at Tian Dagui's house before going home.

In the village, many women saw the young wife of the Zhai family go to Tian Dagui's house again and stay there for a meal before leaving. They vaguely guessed that Han Xiuxiang had contracted a women's disease.

But they didn't dare to talk about it casually, because the young wife of the Zhai family was not a vegetarian.

He could beat Liu Xiangqin so hard that she couldn't fight back...

In the evening, several workers were still working in the yard.

With Zhai Qingsong as a mason, he built the foundations of two brick and tile houses in one day, and laid two circles of bricks on the foundations.

Zhai Ximo carried his son on his back and went to Qinglong Village to attend the wedding banquet and then returned home.

I ran into my eldest brother and his family working in the yard.

Just as he was about to say hello, Zhai Zhaodi blocked his way and complained with a haughty look on her face, "Uncle! Bao'er's mother is a worthless person. She actually splashed boiling water on my mother. Do you care about that woman?"
