Chapter 116: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (3)
The news that Liu Shufen was beaten by her daughter-in-law spread throughout the village in less than half a day. Yang Fu, who was working in the fields, heard the news but didn't take it seriously at all. He knew very well what kind of person Li Ling was.
After being married for more than a year, her mother's words were like an imperial decree to Li Ling. She didn't even dare to hit her or even glare at her.
As the sun sets and night begins to fall, Yang Fu finishes his farm work and goes home carrying his hoe.
When he was almost home, someone suddenly rushed out and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Fuzi, Second Aunt asked me to go to your room tonight," Yang Yuan said frivolously, his raised eyebrows seemed to be watching Yang Fu's good show.
Yang Fu said nothing, broke free from his shoulders, and silently carried the hoe home.
Yang Yuan was ignored by Yang Fu and spat at his receding back. What a idiot! He couldn't even get his wife pregnant and she still had to ask him for help. Thinking of Li Ling's pretty face, Yang Yuan couldn't help rubbing his hands and went home to wait.
Yang Fujin walked into the yard, put down his hoe, and saw Muyan sitting under the apricot tree in the yard, with smoke coming out of the kitchen.
He remembered what the villagers said, walked to the kitchen window and took a look. Shock appeared on his face, which rarely showed any expression.
"Mom, I'm back," he tentatively shouted through the window.
"Come back if you want to. Why are you shouting? What are you doing? What are you doing?" Liu Shufen said in a choking voice while burning with anger. After that, she touched her neck and it still hurt a little.
In the afternoon, she went to the village witch to ask for a bowl of holy water, and came back ready to pour it on Li Ling to drive away the evil spirits in her.
Unexpectedly, she noticed it and the holy water poured all over herself, almost strangling her to death.
The evil spirit possessing Li Ling was so powerful that she didn't dare to continue to oppose her. She would go find a fortune teller tomorrow and ask her to come to her house to take a look.
At this time, Liu Shufen had completely forgotten that she had asked Yang Yuan to come home in the evening.
Yang Fu was scolded by her mother at the kitchen window, then turned and walked towards Mu Yan who was sitting under the apricot tree.
"Mom, what's wrong?" When he spoke, his voice was habitually low and lifeless, like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Muyan glanced at the dull-looking man in front of her and asked, "Cooking? Didn't you see?"
Yang Fu was startled by Mu Yan's tough and cold voice and looked up suddenly. Since she married him, he had hardly seen her smile, and her face was always filled with fear and numbness.
But the woman in front of him still had a blank expression, but there was no fear on her face, and her face was full of arrogance.
"What's wrong with you?" Yang Fu couldn't help asking.
"Your mother said that I was possessed by an evil spirit. What do you think?" Mu Yan asked sinisterly.
The expression on Yang Fu's face changed from shock to disbelief, and finally, because of her abnormal behavior, he had to believe it.
In the kitchen, Liu Shufen had prepared the meal. She brought the meal into the house and called out to the yard,
"It's time to eat." After she drives away the evil spirit, she will give this bastard a good lesson.
Mu Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the stunned Yang Fu, and got up and went into the house.
The dining table is an octagonal table, facing the door, where the head of the family sits. In the past, Liu Shufen always sat there.
She wanted to sit in that seat as usual, but before her butt even touched the stool, she fell flat on her back.
When Yang Fu entered the room, he saw his mother lying on the ground and his father standing there like a piece of wood, motionless.
Mu Yan, who walked in before him, was looking at him with her arms folded across her chest and a smile on her face.
Yang Fu's scalp went numb at the sinister smile on her face, and his feet felt like they were rooted to the ground, unable to lift them up.
Liu Shufen's tailbone was hurt from the fall, and no one, old or young, came to help her. She was so angry that her teeth were itching. She cursed the big beast and the little beast in her heart, and thought to herself that after the evil spirit left, she would definitely teach the old man and the child a lesson.
Liu Shufen finally stood up by herself with the help of a stool and moved to the side to stand.
Muyan walked to the table right at the door and sat down. In those days, every household in the village ate almost the same food: steamed corn bread, pickles, and wild vegetable porridge.
She took three steamed buns from the bowl and put them on the table.
"From now on, I will be the only one in this family who can eat at the table. You guys..." Mu Yan pointed to the door.
"Just squat there and eat from now on."
After her mother-in-law passed away, Liu Shufen never squatted in the corner to eat again. Over the years, she was used to being the boss of the household. Mu Yan's words made her suddenly return to the time when she was dominated by her mother-in-law.
Out of resentment, she picked up a stool and threw it at Muyan.
"Bang".
The stool and the bowl met in the air, the stool fell to the ground, and the bowl was shattered into pieces in the air.
Liu Shufen looked at Muyan with horror and was once again shocked by her actions.
She wanted to beg for mercy, her lips trembling as she opened and tried to speak, but before she could utter a word, she was hit in the face by a willow branch.
"Ah," Liu Shufen screamed in pain. She felt like she was being split in half by the willow branch. The burning mark of pain was the dividing line.
Muyan put away the whip, took out two steamed buns from the basin and put them on the table.
"I see you are so strong, it seems you don't need to eat anymore," the meaning of the words was very clear. Liu Shufen covered her face which was hurt by the willow branches, and cold sweat broke out all over her body. The old man and the young man who were standing there stupidly walked to the table, picked up the steamed bun, and walked to the door to squat down and eat the bun.
Muyan has completed so many tasks that she has already developed a strong body and can eat any food.
A bowl of steamed corn bread, a bowl of vegetable porridge, and half a bowl of pickles all went into her stomach.
Liu Shufen could only swallow her saliva greedily.
After Muyan had eaten and drunk her fill, she went into Liu Shufen's room.
Liu Shufen had a large black wooden box as a dowry, which was filled with her treasures.
She placed the box on the kang as a treasure and locked it.
Muyan found the box, took the lock in her hand, and pulled it gently, and the lock was opened.
In the box, there were two brand new quilts, which Liu Shufen had prepared for Yang Yun.
Before Yang Yun got married, she was very close to the village accountant. Liu Shufen thought they would get married. The accountant's family lived in the town and was relatively wealthy. Liu Shufen was going to ask him for a large dowry, so she prepared two quilts to show her respect.
She was calculating very well, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere. The mayor's daughter fell in love with the accountant, and the two families got married.
Later, when she married into Li Ling's family, Liu Shufen naturally would not let the Li family take advantage of her, so she kept the quilt.
Muyan took out two quilts and found a stack of banknotes under the quilts, which she put into her pocket.
When Liu Shufen came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, she saw Muyan carrying two brand new quilts out of her room and into the room where she and Yang Fu slept.
Liu Shufen was heartbroken and ran back to the house.
The box, which she usually didn't open easily, was now open with its mouth wide open, and there were only a few pieces of newspapers at the bottom of the box.
Liu Shufen looked at the empty box and burst into tears with heartache.
