Chapter 27 My Fierce Wife
"You guys don't do enough housework, do you? Think about it, after you finish working in the fields, you still have to cook and take care of the kids. You're no less capable than men."
The others nodded: "That's right, I used to get just as many work points as the men."
"Yes, speaking of children, it seems that they are not allowed to have children now. They say it's a family planning policy, and each family can only have one child."
“I’ve heard about this too. My relative has a proper job and they said that regardless of gender, you can only have one child, otherwise it will affect your work.”
"Why are you meddling in this? It's my own belly, what right do you have to tell me how many babies I can have?" Some people didn't understand.
"I heard that if the first child is a girl, you can have a second one?"
"Qiaoxiang, you have a job. Ji Huaizhi has a daughter from his previous relationship. What do you say about this situation?"
Feng Qiaoxiang knew about this, but now there are all sorts of rumors, but the general consensus is that those who have jobs can only have one child.
If you are unemployed and your first child is a daughter, you can have another child. However, having more children than allowed will result in a fine.
She had specifically asked about this before, and her supervisor said that she could have a child in her situation, but advised her to have the child sooner rather than later, since the policy changes every day.
“You’re all right, but we live in the countryside, and things aren’t as strict as in the city.”
"My situation is completely outside my jurisdiction."
Before the Lunar New Year, Feng Qiaoxiang and Ji Huaizhi made a lot of fried food. The three of them couldn't eat much of the glutinous rice balls, so Feng's mother brought them and told them not to make any more.
Ji Huaizhi had caught fish in the river beforehand and kept them in a water tank.
They said we had to eat fish during the New Year, and even hung red lanterns at the door.
Feng Qiaoxiang braised pig offal and pig ears; you could smell the aroma of meat whenever you passed by her house.
It really made the neighbors drool with envy.
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the neighbor's kid stands guard at the door every day, and even dares to go into the yard.
"Auntie, what are you making? It smells so good!"
Feng Qiaoxiang refused to give it to them: "Braised meat? If you think it smells good, ask your parents to make it for you."
"Even if they don't make it, I still want to eat it."
“If you want to eat it, ask your parents to make it.” Feng Qiaoxiang remained adamant, repeating the same two sentences over and over.
I find these kids who are keeping quiet really annoying.
Even if you can't get a good child from her, you won't leave.
"Ji Gou'er, what are you eating? Is it good?"
"It's delicious. What are you doing in my house? Don't you have a home?" She was also annoyed.
"Give me some food, or I'll tell my mother-in-law and she'll beat you!"
Ji Gou'er finished the last bite of the crispy pork and stood up: "Get out of my house!"
"You worthless piece of trash? How dare you talk to me like that?" The speaker was Ji Jianshe's son, who was just as unreasonable as his father.
The tone of voice was very similar, and they even seemed to want to hit you: "Do you deserve to eat this stuff? Spit it out!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiaoxiang immediately pulled him out of the yard, and the other children panicked when they saw Feng Qiaoxiang's expression.
Let's run out together.
"How dare you yell at my daughter in my own home! Don't you have a father or a mother?" Feng Qiaoxiang was cursing him, but she was also cursing the Ji family.
Don't your parents feed you?
"You dare lay a hand on my daughter while standing right next to my cooking pot? What kind of upbringing did your parents give you?"
As soon as the child cried, Ji Jianshe's wife came out and said, "What are you doing? Is he still a child?"
"Sister-in-law, do you hate us that much? You won't even spare the children!"
"You're not deaf, are you?" Feng Qiaoxiang pushed away the child who was about to bite her. "Is your child begging?"
"Begging for food is bad enough, but daring to hit your master is really ill-mannered!"
"Ah!" Jianshe's wife was furious: "How dare you talk about my son like that?"
Feng Qiaoxiang slapped her across the face: "You really think I'm easygoing?"
"Get out of here!"
Ji Jianshe was also very angry: "My older brother can't control you, so I'll do it for him. It's one thing for a woman to be unruly, but to be so good at dealing with a child!"
"You still dare to hit my wife?"
But before he could even make a move, Ji Huaizhi struck him with a stick, forcing him to his knees: "Who do you think you are?"
After saying that, he hit him directly in the face with a stick; he was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back.
"You dare hit me?" Ji Jianshe was furious that the person he despised the most had hit him.
He immediately stood up to fight Ji Huaizhi, but unexpectedly, he was no match for him.
She grabbed a stick and tried to hit Ji Huaizhi's injured leg, but Feng Qiaoxiang broke his head first.
"Huh? Jianshe!" Jianshe's wife wanted to fight back, but Feng Qiaoxiang wasn't afraid.
Upon seeing this, Ji Shengkai shouted, and Jianshe's son was immediately pushed to the ground: "I'll hit you!"
"You good-for-nothing!" the boy exclaimed angrily, his expression exactly like his father's. "You dare hit me? I'll kick you to death!"
"I'm not a burden! I'm my parents' darling!" Ji Shengkai shouted, grabbing him like his mother did when she hit his third aunt.
Huang Zhaodi wasn't home, so Ji Jianguo had no choice but to step forward to stop her, but he was also beaten up by Ji Huaizhi.
Nobody calls the village chief anymore.
Everyone's just watching the show.
The three brothers got into a fight, with Ji Huaizhi overwhelming the opponent. Chen Honghua said that the two younger brothers were too useless.
They clearly hadn't done much manual labor; the two of them couldn't beat one of the older brothers.
Jianguo's wife had no choice but to go in and call her father-in-law, stopping him from pretending to be dead.
"You've gone too far! You even resorted to violence over such a small matter. Don't you have any manners at all, especially during the Chinese New Year?"
Ji Huaizhi looked at him coldly, gathered up the firewood, and took his daughter and wife back home.
"I don't think you guys ever learn your lesson."
Ji Shichui didn't understand what he meant; he was still hoping to have a family reunion dinner tomorrow.
"You guys are really... really..." Ji Shichui really didn't know what to say, so he could only shout and angrily denounce them for being unfilial.
After returning home, Feng Qiaoxiang couldn't stop laughing, and Sheng Kai laughed too.
Ji Huaizhi said helplessly, "I will definitely move as soon as possible after the New Year."
Feng Qiaoxiang: "It's nothing. It's just that Huang Zhaodi wasn't home just now. She curses at our door every day, so today we can finally vent our anger."
"I reckon she'll come back and yell at me again soon."
Ji Huaizhi: "Leave it to me."
Huang Zhaodi indeed arrived, and she cursed for a long time while banging on the door.
They could hurl insults however harshly they wanted, but the Ji family of three simply refused to go out and ate their good food while the insults raged around them.
Huang Zhaodi also smelled the aroma of rice and meat, and as she cursed, she couldn't stop drooling.
"Why don't you guys get eaten to death? Look at your heads, why hasn't the King of Hell taken you?"
"You beat my son like this, you owe me money! You three shameless bastards! You owe me money!"
"Eat well, Huaizhi, eat more. You're the head of our family, you need to take good care of yourself." Feng Qiaoxiang made sure the people at the door could hear her.
"Mom, your cooking is delicious."
"If you like it, eat more. If you can't finish it, don't beg for food from the neighbors."
"Ah!!!" Huang Zhaodi screamed angrily: "Eat, I'll let you eat."
She was so angry that she didn't know what to do when she went back. Chen Honghua called out, "Huang Zhaodi, what are you doing in the latrine?"
"Disgusting! Is your whole family crazy during the Chinese New Year?"
"Living with you guys is the worst thing that ever happened to me."
Then came another angry shout from Huang Zhaodi: "If you keep babbling, I'll throw manure at your doorstep!"
