Chapter 118: The Evil Mother-in-Law Meets the Violent and Lazy Daughter-in-Law (5)
Muyan was as timid as usual and lowered her head, not daring to look.
The witch was speechless and could only look at the village chief.
The village chief's face turned pale. How could he take care of such a mess? He raised his leg and was about to leave, but was blocked by Sun Yu who suddenly came in.
"Village chief, why are you here?" Sun Yu looked at the people in the house with a confused look on his face. "What's going on?"
Sun Yu waited for a while, and when no one answered her, she asked again, "Fuzi, have you seen your cousin? I haven't seen him since I got up this morning."
When they heard her mention Yang Yuan, the faces of the people in the room became uglier than each other, especially the witch who was standing by the kang, blocking Sun Yu's view.
Several people remained silent. Sun Yu frowned and looked at them. She had a hunch that something had happened to Yang Fujia's family.
Just as she was struggling to decide whether to find out what had happened or go find Yang Yuan, a sudden scream drew her attention to the kang that was blocked by the witch.
"Why the hell are you here?" Liu Shufen saw Yang Yuan sleeping next to her and slapped him in the face.
Yang Yuan was awakened by a slap from her. Before he could figure out what was happening, he was slapped again by Liu Shufen. This slap woke him up completely.
"You old bitch, are you sick?" Yang Yuan cursed.
Sun Yu, who was standing at the door, heard her husband's voice and rushed into the house. Seeing Yang Yuan and Liu Shufen lying on the kang, she immediately grabbed Liu Shufen's face.
"You shameless old bastard, you seduce everyone."
Liu Shufen was not a pushover either, and she raised her hand to grab it back.
The people in the room let the two men fight, and no one stepped forward to stop them.
The village chief standing at the door wanted to leave several times. He really didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.
The two people on the kang were cursing each other louder and louder. The village chief was so angry that he kicked Yang Fu who was standing beside him and said, "Are you blind or deaf? Why don't you separate them?"
As soon as the village chief gave the order, the two people on the kang were finally pulled apart by several people in the room.
When questioned by the village chief, Yang Fu simply said "I don't know" from beginning to end. He really knew nothing, but no one believed him.
Seeing that he couldn't get the truth out of someone, the village chief didn't bother to care anymore. He gave a few serious warnings and left.
Sun Yu twisted Yang Yuan's ear and left. When the witch was about to leave, she was stopped by Liu Shufen.
The witch knew what Liu Shufen meant with just one look. She took out a triangular talisman made of yellow paper from her trouser pocket, stuffed it into Muyan's hand, and told her to keep it with her.
As for ghosts and gods, if you believe in them, they exist; if you don't, it's nonsense. She doesn't believe in them anyway. The reason she does this is to make a living.
The witch gave Liu Shufen a reassuring look and turned away.
After everyone left, the noisy yard suddenly became quiet.
Liu Shufen knew that Yang Yuan's appearance on her kang must have been caused by Li Ling, and she didn't care whether she was controlled by an evil spirit.
She was convinced that she had done it, and now it was time to settle the score with her.
Muyan was lying on the kang, resting with her eyes closed, when she suddenly heard,
"Bang,"
Her door was kicked open. Muyan opened her eyes and saw Liu Shufen rushing in with a willow branch in her hand.
Without saying a word, Liu Shufen waved the willow branch and hit Muyan who was lying on the kang.
She raised her foot high and kicked Liu Shufen's hand which was holding the willow branch, and the branch was thrown to the edge of the kang.
Liu Shufen looked at Muyan in shock as she got off the kang and onto the ground. Didn't the witch say that the evil spirit was gone? Why was she still so powerful?
Witch: ...I never said that.
Before Liu Shufen could figure out what was going on, the willow branches came towards her.
"Ouch,"
"It's so unfair,"
"Stop hitting me, or I'll die."
Liu Shufen was beaten and ran all over the floor, but no matter how hard she ran, she couldn't get out of the door.
Outside the yard, Yang Tie squatted in the corner, listening to the noise in the house and smoking his pipe. When the noise died down, he finished his pipe, stood up with the help of the wall, carried his hoe and went out.
He has no right to say anything about anything in this family. He just needs to cultivate his land and have food to eat.
Yang Fu, who had the same idea as him, had already arrived at the field before him.
After being beaten, Liu Shufen calmed down and squatted in the corner.
"From now on, I have the final say in this family. If you don't listen, I will beat you until you listen. Do you understand?" Mu Yan lay on the kang, crossed her legs, looking very leisurely.
"Yeah," Liu Shufen replied in a muffled voice.
Mu Yan was dissatisfied with her reaction, "Weren't you very loud back then? Are you mute now?"
"I understand," Liu Shufen replied quickly.
Muyan was too lazy to look at her and sent her to work in the fields.
The marks on Liu Shufen's face from being hit by willow branches were very obvious. She was afraid of being laughed at by the villagers, so she rummaged through her drawers and found a piece of yellow cloth, folded it into a square scarf, and wore it on her head before going out.
——
"I really didn't expect Liu Shufen to do such a thing. That's his eldest nephew,"
"Who would have thought that if Sun Yu hadn't said it, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
"Tell me, why did her daughter-in-law beat her?"
"Who knows? She must have done something unscrupulous. Otherwise, how could Li Ling be so bold as to hit her?"
Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a group of people had nothing to do after dinner, so they gathered together to chat. In the past, Liu Shufen was always involved in such things, but this time, she became the target of gossip.
Liu Shufen never thought that Sun Yun would spread this matter. These days, when she went to work in the fields, she heard a lot of villagers gossiping about her.
Wait until the wound on her face heals, and see how she tears the mouths of these gossips apart one by one.
"What are you dawdling for? Is the meal ready?" Muyan shouted towards the kitchen while sitting under a tree in the yard.
"That's good," Liu Shufen quickened the pace and pulled the bellows a few times, making the fire in the stove burn even more vigorously.
After the meal was cooked, Liu Shufen brought it to the table and stood by the table like a maid serving her master, waiting for Muyan to sit down and bring her some steamed buns.
Mu Yan walked into the room and sat down. She took three steamed buns from the basin and placed them on the table. She pushed a bowl of vegetable porridge in front of Yang Tie.
"You did the most work today, so this is yours," Mu Yan established a reward and punishment system for the three people. The person who hoes the most every day will have vegetable porridge the next day, and the person who hoes the least will have to do laundry, cook, and clean the yard the next day. Of course, these are tasks in addition to hoeing the fields.
Yang Tie was afraid that the other two people would snatch his vegetable porridge, so he took the steamed bun and the bowl and walked quickly to the corner with his back to the two of them and started eating.
Yang Fu took the steamed bun and walked to the corner and squatted down, secretly encouraging himself that he must drink vegetable porridge tomorrow.
Liu Shufen, who took the steamed bread last, has not had vegetable porridge for a single day since the day Muyan established this system.
When she was cooking, she sometimes wanted to secretly drink a few sips, but Muyan, who was sitting in the yard, seemed to have X-ray vision. Every time she had this idea and opened the lid of the pot to take a few sips, she appeared at the kitchen door.
After a few times, she no longer had the idea.
