Before the steelworkers could even get off work, both baskets of eggs were sold out.
After they left, a group of steelworkers rushed over.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?"
Upon learning that Song Fanxing and her daughter had sold out and gone home, they were filled with regret.
"I should have asked for leave earlier."
They sold out early today, and Fang Jie and her daughter returned to Songjiatun. Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua had not yet finished school.
On the way, they met Zhao Hong and saw Fang Jie and her daughter getting off the oxcart.
He said sarcastically, "Hey, Fang Jie, what are you doing in the county town?"
She had heard that Fang Jie had been going to the county town a lot this month, going several times before the autumn planting season, and going again today.
She leaned closer to peek into Fang Jie's basket, wanting to see what she had bought, only to find it empty.
She pouted and said, "You didn't buy anything. What did you go about?"
Fang Jie: "What's it to you?"
"Ha, if you don't have money, don't try to go to the city like others. Stay in the village and don't go out and embarrass yourself."
Song Fanxing didn't have a good impression of Zhao Hong and looked at her with a stern face.
Fang Jie was also exasperated with Zhao Hong. "I just like going, so what? Do you own the city?"
Zhao Hong, cornered, snorted.
“It’s not my family’s business, but I can’t stand you always showing off in the city.”
"ill!"
Fang Jie ignored her and took her daughter home to cook.
Zhao Hong stomped her foot and shouted from behind, "You're the one who's sick!"
Song Fanxing broke free from Fang Jie's hand, squatted down, picked up a pebble, and threw it at Zhao Hong as she turned around, hitting her precisely on the back of the head.
"Ouch!"
Zhao Hong screamed in pain, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.
Song Fanxing turned around, took Fang Jie's hand, and said casually, "Mom, let's go home."
Fang Jie glanced at Zhao Hong, who was jumping up and down in her hands, and thought to herself, "Serves her right!"
She had a general idea of her daughter's strength, and Zhao Hong probably had a big bump on her head.
After cooking dinner at home, Fang Jie went to deliver the meal to her mother-in-law after the family had eaten.
While feeding her mother-in-law, Fang Jie was surprised to find that her mother-in-law's mouth was no longer crooked.
"Mom, try saying something, okay?"
Old Mrs. Song glared at her angrily.
Are you deliberately trying to annoy her? You know she's an old woman who's paralyzed, her mouth is crooked, and she can't speak, yet you still make her talk. Isn't that blatant bullying?
Fang Jie knew her mother-in-law had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "Mom, your mouth is better now, it's not crooked anymore."
Grandma Song couldn't believe it. She moved her mouth slightly, and it seemed that it was really not crooked anymore; her mouth could open and close normally.
Before, when my mouth was crooked, I couldn't close it completely; it was half-open. Now I can close it.
She exclaimed in surprise, "I..."
Good heavens, she can really talk now.
"Oh my god, I can talk now! That's great!"
Song Fanxing rolled her eyes.
Old Mrs. Song got better, but she was very unhappy.
Grandma Song happily tried to move her arms and legs, but unfortunately, she couldn't feel anything in them, nor in her whole body.
She thought she was completely cured.
Song Fanxing felt that the effects of the spiritual spring water were already very powerful; in just a few days, her nipple was healed.
Sit up, stand up, and even a full recovery is not far off.
Fang Jie was also happy for her mother-in-law. She sincerely hoped that her mother-in-law would get better so that she wouldn't have to take care of her all the time.
To be honest, she wouldn't feel comfortable serving someone she didn't like, she was only doing it for her man's sake.
Li Zhen, sitting in the courtyard, rubbed her ears. Had she just imagined it? How could she hear her mother-in-law's voice? But wasn't her mother-in-law unable to speak?
She went to her mother-in-law's room with suspicion, as she hadn't been there for several days.
Unlike before, my mother-in-law's house is now very clean, with only a slight smell, which is common among older people.
When Old Lady Song saw Li Zhen enter, she instantly flew into a rage and cursed, "You wretch! Who let you in?"
Li Zhen was so shocked that her mouth was wide open, and it took her a while to react.
"Mom, are you all better?"
How come it suddenly got better?
"You bitch, are you hoping I'll die soon? Ha, too bad you can't have your way, I'm almost better. You vicious bitch, I'll remember how you treated me before, and when I get better I'll beat you to death, and I'll make Da Long divorce you and kick you out of the Song family."
Old Mrs. Song was finally able to speak and vent all her resentment towards Li Zhen, which made her feel much better.
Li Zhen was so frightened that she turned and ran away.
Song Fanxing suddenly said, "Grandma, you're still lying down and can't move. You're no match for Second Aunt. If you talk to Second Aunt like that, she might smother you to death while you're sleeping. In the dark, no one will know who did it, and you'd die a very unjust death."
Fang Jie: ...
Her daughter's mouth... was a bit harsh.
She didn't believe that Li Zhen, a woman, would have the guts to take someone's life.
Old Mrs. Song turned deathly pale with fright; she was terrified of dying. She had acted impulsively for a moment of pleasure, forgetting that she couldn't move and that she wouldn't be able to resist if Li Zhenzhen wanted to do anything to her.
What should I do? What if that bitch Li Zhen tries to harm her?
She suddenly looked at Fang Jie with pleading eyes.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, that bitch might really kill me. You have to stay and protect me. You sleep here tonight and stay by my bedside. That way, Li Zhen won’t dare to lay a hand on me.”
Fang Jie never expected that her daughter's words would frighten her mother-in-law so much.
But she couldn't stay and watch over her. She had three children waiting for her at home, her precious darlings, and she couldn't bear to leave them alone.
"Mom, Li Zhen wouldn't do such a thing. She doesn't have the guts."
When Song Fanxing saw that her grandmother wanted to keep her mother here, she secretly blamed herself for speaking out of turn.
She quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Grandma, I was just kidding. I don't think your second aunt would dare to harm you, and besides, your second uncle wouldn't agree to her doing that."
Old Mrs. Song thought to herself, if she secretly smothered her to death, her husband Dalong wouldn't even know.
Just as she was about to say something, Song Dalong rushed in, followed by Li Zhen, Song Haitao, and Song Xiaomei.
Song Dalong threw himself at Old Lady Song, crying out, "Mom...Mom, you can talk now! That's wonderful! I'm so happy!"
Song Haitao: "Grandma, you can finally talk to me. I'll wait for you to get better and give me money to spend."
Li Zhen slapped her son on the back of the head.
"Ouch...it hurts so much..."
Li Zhen: "Can't you speak properly? Your grandma just got better, and you're already thinking about spending her money. That's outrageous!"
She turned to her mother-in-law and said obsequiously, "Mom, you're all better now! Our whole family is so happy. Please get well soon, this family can't do without you."
After saying that, Li Zhen nudged Song Xiaomei again.
Song Xiaomei whispered, "Grandma...I...I..."
Li Zhen slapped Song Xiaomei on the back of the head again. Song Xiaomei covered the back of her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Li Zhen: "You stupid girl, you can't even say a nice thing to your grandma, you're so dumb! It's a waste of money to send you to school."
