Chapter 611 Do you know what people say about you behind your back?
None of the Cao family members saw this side of Wu Dani.
No, that's not right either. Cao's wife couldn't help but think of when Wu Dani first came into the family.
Wu Dani, who just got married, is also very capable.
She wanted to bully her but couldn't.
Back then, cooking was done in shifts, and so were housework.
The old lady also helped out from time to time.
When did Wu Dani start to be trampled underfoot by her and the third son's wife?
Oh, it all started with her third child, who was also a girl.
It seems like it's been four years.
Hearing Wu Dani say these words, he didn't react for a moment.
The courtyard of Old Cao's house was almost completely silent.
Cao Lao Er stood beside his wife, wanting to say something, but wisely kept his mouth shut.
He felt that if he wanted to have an easier time at home in the future, he would have to learn to behave himself.
Cao's eldest son's wife was the first to react, and said angrily, "Cao's second son and Wu Dani, don't blame me for being heartless if you are. Let me tell you, when you get old, don't expect my sons to take care of you in your old age."
Although it was only a few days, Wu Dani felt as if she had experienced and learned a lot.
It seems the world is no longer the same as it used to be.
She sneered repeatedly, "I still have decades to live when I'm old, we'll talk about it then."
Before Cao Laoda's wife could speak, she added sarcastically, "Don't think I, Wu Dani, am stupid. Who are you trying to intimidate with these words? I heard something similar to what happened in the commune, something like what happened to our Cao family."
That family had an eldest son who had six daughters. The couple worked hard to save money to build a house and get married for their nephew.
But when they got old, their good nephew wouldn't even give them a sip of water, and in the end, it was their daughter who took care of them.
"You can't get anything out of a dog. It's already a miracle your son can support you in your old age; who else can expect him to support your uncle and aunt?"
Cao Lao Er's lips moved, and he really wanted to tell his wife that they might really have to rely on their nephew in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wu Dani glared at him fiercely, pushed him away, and walked into the yard.
She deftly took everything out of the kitchen.
It was quickly divided into four portions.
Mrs. Cao remained silent. She had been greatly affected by the recent events. She used to think she was the happiest old lady in the village and that her family was the most harmonious because she was the one in charge and her daughters-in-law all listened to her.
But after Wu Dani went to the commune, Old Mrs. Cao realized that it wasn't like that at all.
Putting everything else aside, no one cooks at home.
On her first day of work, while the men were all out working in the fields, she planned to take a stroll in the village as usual, chat with the old ladies, pick some wild vegetables, and then lie down on the kang (heated brick bed) for another nap.
However, things didn't go very well at home yesterday.
She used to brag to those old ladies, and all her daughters-in-law were afraid of her; they were like mice seeing a cat when they saw her.
But yesterday, those two foolish daughters-in-law really slapped her in the face.
She didn't dare to chat with those old ladies, worried that they would laugh at her for bragging.
So she picked some wild vegetables and went to bed on the kang (a heated brick bed).
But when she got up from the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked around, good heavens, neither of her two daughters-in-law were there.
The kitchen was ice cold.
Nobody cooks.
No one even came to fetch water from the water tank.
The Cao family home was in chaos at noon.
After finally finding his two daughters-in-law, before he could even scold them, each had her own reasons.
Cao's eldest daughter-in-law even said, "Isn't Wu Dani usually the one who does these chores? Why should she run off to the commune to avoid the peace and quiet, and we call her back to cook..."
The eldest son's wife's idea is not bad, but the key question is who will go to find her?
Old Cao's gaze swept around the courtyard.
They all expect him to find it, how could that be possible!
Old Cao roared angrily, "The division of the family property will be done as we agreed that day. The three of you will take turns cooking for us. If anyone dares to disobey, I'll report them to the commune. If the commune doesn't care, I'll report them to the county..."
Cao's eldest daughter-in-law wasn't afraid at all; she was the first to jump out.
She jumped up and down, yelling at Old Cao, "Even if we follow the way the family divided the property that day, there are still unreasonable aspects to it."
For example, I'd like to cook for you two in turns. I won't do it. I have so many sons, how can I have time to come here every day to cook for you?
You can eat, drink, run, and jump all now, so why should we cook for you now? Do you really think you're some kind of old master or madam?
Let alone our Qinggang Village, there aren't many old ladies like you in the entire Satellite Commune.
Day after day, he would wander from house to house, boasting in front of a group of old ladies.
Besides, he's capable of anything, yet he insists on staying home like a feudal lord. What's wrong with him? Does he want to be a big landowner like in the old days?
You wanted to sue us? We're already being kind by not suing you!
Mrs. Cao and Mr. Cao were so angry that their faces turned red, and they pointed their trembling fingers at their eldest daughter-in-law.
How come I never noticed how immoral and malicious my eldest daughter-in-law's words were?
Wu Dani didn't really understand why she suddenly had the courage.
But one thing she knew for sure was that her daughter's success had brought benefits to them as parents.
Then they separated their households, and she no longer had to cook at home every day.
So during the few days their whole family stayed at the commune, their home was in complete chaos.
Wu Dani glanced at the messy yard and thought of the ducks and geese she had painstakingly raised in the backyard. She didn't know if anyone was taking care of them now. Although she felt sorry for them, there was nothing she could do.
That's how it is in this family; the more you do, the more useless and incompetent you become.
Even if your sister-in-law has angered your parents-in-law to this extent, what can you do about it?
Wu Dani took a few steps back, then grabbed Cao Lao Er to stop him from speaking.
Since my sister-in-law is so capable, let her take the lead and see what kind of chaos this family will end up in.
Wu Dani also wanted to know what her sister-in-law wanted to get her to stop.
But no matter what, she will never be the same as before.
She didn't treat her eldest daughter well.
She couldn't let her two daughters suffer with her anymore.
——
One thing led to another in the Cao family. In the end, Old Cao and his wife were so angry that they fell seriously ill, but they couldn't do anything about their eldest and third daughters-in-law.
It's impossible to order Wu Dani around like before, because Wu Dani is now working at the commune.
Then Wu Dani also learned that it was Lu Qiaoge's suggestion that she was able to join the Women's Federation.
The director of the Women's Federation said to Wu Dani earnestly, "This opportunity of yours is hard-won, so you must cherish it."
Although you're doing menial work, I still hope you can have a higher level of education.
You're still young, who knows what you'll do in the future? So don't be afraid of hardship or toil; your efforts will always be rewarded.
