"Thank you all for today. I won't say anything more than polite words here. Just watch how I perform in the future!"
Grandma Wang expressed her gratitude to those who helped her, especially the seven girls besides herself.
After decades of friendship, these old sisters don't need to say anything else; a single glance is enough for them to understand each other.
"Huazhen, don't say anymore, we understand! If there's nothing else, we'll head back now. Since the child is willing to change, don't be too harsh on him, after all, Xiao Sanzi likes it!"
Aunt Ye held Old Mrs. Wang's hand and comforted her for a few words before leaving with her family.
The other onlookers were also chased away by the captain!
In the end, only Old Wang's family and the brigade leader's family remained.
"Mother, Second Uncle, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, and Guoqing!"
“I didn’t know there was such a thing as severing ties with family before. I always cared about my family ties and did a lot of stupid things without thinking!”
Lin Xue sniffed, her eyes red. In addition, she was beautiful, and in the years since she married Wang Guoqing, she rarely had to work in the fields except for housework. Even when it came to earning work points, she was given the easiest tasks.
She appeared fairer and more delicate than the other women in the village, and apart from still being very thin, she could be considered the most beautiful woman in the surrounding area.
Otherwise, Wang Guoqing wouldn't have taken a liking to her at first sight.
Now, seeing her with tears in her eyes, clutching the hem of her clothes, looking so delicate and frail, made those who wanted to say more give up.
"Guoqing's wife, it's good that you've thought it through! Once a woman is married, she still has to prioritize her own family. If you have any questions in the future, just come and ask your second aunt. We'll all help you!"
The village chief's wife used to dislike Wang Guoqing's wife very much, but Lin Xue's behavior today has changed her opinion of her quite a bit.
"Thank you so much, Second Aunt. I will definitely ask you and my mother-in-law if I have any questions in the future, and I will not do those foolish things again!"
Lin Xue loosened the hem of her clothes, then clenched her right fist, looking as if she had made up her mind after much painful reflection.
His slightly straightened back and determined gaze gave everyone the feeling that this person was truly going to change.
"Alright, it's good that the child knows his mistake and can correct it. Sister-in-law, we have some things to do at home, so we'll head back first. You don't need to rush to work; I'll give you half a day off, you can go in the afternoon!"
The village chief is very worried about his nephew's wife, who is finally making some changes, fearing that she might revert to her old ways.
So I plan to give my younger brother's family some time so they can strike while the iron is hot and try to completely correct my niece's mindset.
This is a major event concerning his nephew's happiness for the rest of his life, and the village chief has been very worried about it.
"This matter has really troubled my second brother and sister-in-law. Come over to my house for a drink during the off-season!"
Grandma Wang politely saw the village chief's family off, and then sent her two sons home as well, telling them to do their chores or go to work.
He stayed behind.
"Third son's wife, we discussed it with your father last night."
Although we all believe you've truly changed for the better, there's no guarantee that those unruly Lin family members won't come knocking on our door again.
So I talked to your dad about it, and since I don't work during the day, I'll come over and help take care of the kids!
As she spoke, Grandma Wang observed Lin Xue's reaction. Finding no abnormality on her face, she continued speaking.
"Xue Ni, you know how hard it was for Guo Qing to find a temporary job in town. We can't lose this job! So many people wouldn't even dream of getting it!"
“Guoqing and his father both work in town, so they can look after each other, and we can stay at home with peace of mind!”
“But you have to take care of the children and earn work points at the same time. Even though it’s the easiest job of cutting pig feed, it still takes half a day to go out.”
"If the Lin family comes and takes the children away when we're not looking, who knows what those heartless people might do!"
Grandma Wang's words were not unfounded; a similar incident had occurred in a neighboring village.
While her daughter and son-in-law were away, she kidnapped someone else's child and sold him. She had done it flawlessly, but a few children playing hide-and-seek in the haystacks witnessed it.
When this matter was exposed, it was absolutely shocking.
The parents who committed the crime usually seemed honest and upright; I never imagined they would do such a heartless thing.
If even such an honest couple could do something so monstrous, imagine what would happen to that bunch of vampires and scoundrels in the Lin family.
Even though she was disliked, Old Mrs. Wang planned to stay at the third son's house.
I don't mind suffering some grievances myself, and I don't really think the Lin family would do something so despicable.
More than anything, it was because they didn't trust Lin Xue.
If it weren't for her third son's desperate pleas last night, she wouldn't have wanted to get involved with the couple at all.
Grandma Wang made up her mind that this was the last time she would help the third son's family. If she couldn't change Lin Xue's mind this time, she would never interfere in Wang Guoqing's family's affairs again.
"Mother, it's so good that you came to help me!"
"But I hope my eldest and second sisters-in-law won't have any objections?"
Lin Xue was overjoyed that Grandma Wang could come and help her take care of the children, so how could she possibly complain?
She could use the excuse of gathering pig feed to go up the back mountain to find something to eat, and preferably hunt some game to have a treat.
In this era, ordinary people can only barely make ends meet by earning points.
Eating meat? That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
