Chapter 48: Determined to Die
Zhao Meihua was eating melon seeds while talking to Jiang Congwen.
Her saliva was flying, revealing a mouth full of melon seeds, which was disgusting to look at.
Jiang Congwen held a bamboo water pipe in his hand. He put the pipe to his mouth and took a puff. The water in the pipe made a puffing sound.
The smoke flows along the bamboo tube and is sucked into the mouth.
When the taste was gone, he twisted some tobacco and put it on the cigarette holder and continued to smoke.
His teeth were yellowed by smoke, and the stench of smoke on his body could be smelled from a distance.
Zhao Meihua was originally a person who didn't care about things. Anyone who was a little bit particular couldn't stand the smell of smoke.
At this moment, he was puffing on his cigarette, and it felt so comfortable to breathe out the smoke.
Hearing what his wife said, he reluctantly moved his drooping eyelids, "Are you targeting Jiang Erya? Didn't you see the fist of the guy named Gu next to her? How many punches can you withstand?"
"Why did I set my sights on that bitch?"
Zhao Meihua refused to admit it. "Let me ask you, that girl is about the same age as our Mei Xin, and Mei Xin is still a child who only knows how to ask her parents for money. How did Jiang Erya cook so much food?"
"Isn't this what the old man and the old lady taught her?"
Zhao Meihua's idea is very simple.
Since the method Jiang Mingyue uses to make money now was taught to her by the old man and the old woman, then the old man and the old woman should teach them.
"It's already good enough that I don't share the money with her."
Zhao Meihua supplemented.
Jiang Congwen glanced at Zhao Meihua and strongly disapproved of his wife's behavior.
"In the beginning, it was you who said that you didn't support your parents, and let them and the first wife fend for themselves. Now that they are living a good life, how dare you go after them?"
"How am I ashamed?" Zhao Meihua was angered by Jiang Congwen's words. Her voice suddenly rose. "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it because I want our family to live a better life in the future?"
As she spoke, she looked around to make sure that no one else was around. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Besides, if I wasn't smart, how could Mei Xin go to college? And how could you become the father of a college student?"
"If you have a college-aged daughter that everyone envies, won't you be envied wherever you go?"
Zhao Meihua was very proud.
Jiang Congwen snorted, obviously having compromised, "Whatever you want."
This statement undoubtedly delegates power to Zhao Meihua.
Zhao Meihua hummed and ate all the melon seeds in her hand, throwing all the shells on the ground.
He stood up and went outside to call Lin Sanhua to come in and clean the house.
"Every day, you have no foresight and can't even give birth to a son. What's the point of marrying you to our Jiang family?"
Zhao Meihua pointed at Lin Sanhua's head, wishing she could poke a hole in it.
She shouldn't have been like those people in the first place, saying that Lin Sanhua was a good worker.
What's the use of having a good hand at work? It's unlucky to see something that can't even give birth to a son.
Zhao Meihua was cursing, Jiang Congwen picked up his cigarette and went out to get some quiet time, completely ignoring the chaos at home.
As for Lin Sanhua, who was taciturn, tongue-tied and timid, he was naturally scolded by Zhao Meihua again.
After coming out of her parents-in-law's room, Lin Sanhua had no time to catch her breath before she was called in again by the pregnant Hu Xingzi.
"His second aunt, I'm not being lazy on purpose and asking you to help me. It's just that the baby in my belly is more naughty than his two brothers. He's been bothering me all day and I can't rest well at all."
"Carrying a boy is torture."
As soon as Hu Xingzi finished speaking, she covered her lips as if she had mentioned something extremely taboo.
He looked at Lin Sanhua with a smile between his eyebrows.
"Look at my mouth. You forgot that you, my sister-in-law, have never had a son. Naturally, you can't empathize with me."
"I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story." He apologized, but in fact he was smiling more happily than anyone else.
Hu Xingzi's hypocritical appearance made Lin Sanhua so angry that her chest ached.
But she couldn't do anything.
My mother-in-law is Myolie Wu's aunt. With the support of my mother-in-law, Myolie Wu gave birth to two sons, carrying on the Jiang family's line.
But her pregnancy was unsuccessful and she only gave birth to two girls who lost money...
"What's wrong, aunt? Don't you want to help with this little thing now? When I was pregnant and feeling uncomfortable, I asked you to help wash a few clothes, but you were not willing to do it?"
How can these be just a few pieces of clothing?
A family of four had a large basin full of clothes, which gave off a strong odor of sweat.
I don't know how many days it has been since I took it off and washed it.
At this moment, they are all piled in the basin, filling up a large basin, waiting for Lin Sanhua to wash them.
At this moment, Hu Xingzi stared at Lin Sanhua arrogantly. The emotion in her eyes did not seem like she was looking at her sister-in-law, but more like she was looking at her own maid.
Oh, to be more precise, after Lin Sanhua married into the Jiang family, she couldn't give birth to a son, so she became a maid of the Jiang family.
She was made to do all the dirty and tiring work, did the most work and ate the least. She was also often insulted and scolded by Zhao Meihua and bullied by her sister-in-law in a weird way.
If Jiang Erlang protected her a little, then she would think it was okay and she could tolerate all this.
But Jiang Erlang didn't care about her at all. He just worked and slept all the time, and he didn't understand her hard work at all...
Lin Sanhua lowered her head and picked up the large wooden basin in front of her with her thin hands.
Hu Xingzi raised her eyebrows proudly and called Lin Sanhua in a pinched voice, "Hey, sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you, don't beat my underwear with a stick, you have to wash it by hand, understand?"
"The fabric is thin, and it's different from your coarse clothes. Don't let me damage it."
Lin Sanhua paused as he turned to leave.
She lowered her eyes to look at the clothes in front of her, nodded softly, and went out carrying the wooden basin.
"Lin Sanhua, where are you going?"
Jiang Erlang came back from outside and saw his wife walking out. He asked a question.
Lin Sanhua's eyes flickered. She raised her head, with a look of anticipation on her frail face. "My sister-in-law asked me to do her laundry."
After saying this, he looked intently at Jiang Jilang.
Hope he says something.
Jiang Erlang took a look at the clothes in the wooden basin and frowned.
His expression gave Lin Sanhua the illusion for a moment that he was going to speak for her.
She looked at him happily.
What she got was not Jiang Erlang's protection, but his obvious impatient criticism, "How long will it take to wash so many clothes?"
"Hurry up and don't dawdle and delay the dinner. It will make mom and dad hungry."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Erlang turned around and went into the house without lingering any longer.
In the yard, Zhao Meihua's voice rang out, "Old Second is back? Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of brown sugar water."
Lin Sanhua didn't hear what Jiang Erlang said, but she heard clearly the sound of Hu Xingzi's interruption.
"Mom, your eldest grandson also said he wanted to drink sugar water."
"I know, I know. You're indispensable." Zhao Meihua's voice rang out again.
Lin Sanhua's lips curled into an arc that she couldn't tell whether it was crying or laughing. Seeing her two daughters coming back with firewood in baskets on their backs, she dropped the basin in her hand and let the dirty clothes fall to the ground.
He walked up to his two daughters, held their hands, and walked toward the river.
Since Zhao Meihua scolds the three of them every day, she can just die, so let her do as she wishes.
