Even with the clouds as a 'precautionary measure,' Yun Dazheng was still furious to the sight of the woman rolling around and fighting on the ground in front of his own yard, her flesh exposed, and the people watching the spectacle with bowls in their hands.
"What kind of talk is this? If this were the old days, they would have sent them straight back to their parents' home!" Yun Dazheng turned his head away so he couldn't see the two women fighting at the door, and said angrily. As he spoke, he pulled Yun Duo, "Duo'er, don't look at those dirty things, let's go home first." With that, he led Yun Duo directly towards their backyard.
Although a restless little soul inside her wanted to watch the 'fun', Yun Duo obediently nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa, I won't listen to them, and I won't watch them fight. I came out from the backyard just now."
"Good girl." Yun Dazheng praised Yun Duo and then fell silent, clearly in a bad mood.
When I got home, I put down my belongings and went to the kitchen to fetch water to wash my hands and face. I found an earthenware bowl on a tree stump next to the stove. The bowl was half full of something that looked like vegetable paste, but it was so dirty that it looked like it had been spilled and picked up from the ground.
"Old woman, what's wrong with this mushy vegetable dish on the cutting board? Is it still edible?" Yun Dazheng couldn't help but ask.
"What else could it be? It's just that Gensheng's mother brought it to our house, spilled it, and I picked it up for her so she wouldn't come back for more later. As for whether it's still edible or not, that's their own business, I can't interfere." Yun Qi's tone was also somewhat unpleasant.
...
So, this fight actually started in their own kitchen?
Yun Dazheng's face darkened further, but he didn't forget to ask Yun Qishi, "They suddenly started fighting, but they didn't touch you or scare you, did they?"
"How come it wasn't scared..." Madam Yun Qi pouted and looked at Yun Dazheng 'complaining': "That Zhang Juhua came in first, and as soon as she came in, she started talking about this and that, and she made up all sorts of stories. She just wants to steal our meat."
"These days, who has an easy life?"
“Our Duo’er is so thin she’s practically skin and bones, can’t she see that? She still has the nerve to come to our house asking for meat.”
“Even our Duo’er knows that only beggars go to other people’s houses with bowls to beg for food, but she is shameless and says that she is Duo’er’s savior and that Duo’er should thank her.”
"Pah!"
"She still has the nerve to say that if it weren't for her, our Duo'er would never have jumped into the river! Luckily, our Duo'er was saved, otherwise even killing her wouldn't be enough to make up for Duo'er's life!"
Yun Dazheng paused in his scooping of water, holding the ladle over the water vat. He turned to look at Yun Qishi and asked hesitantly, "Old woman, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Zhang Juhua caused our Duo'er to jump into the river?"
"That's right!" Yun Qishi pouted again, saying, "This is what our Duo'er said herself, and that's why Zhao Cuifen rushed in from outside to hit her."
"Old man, isn't it strange? Why is Zhao Cuifen hiding outside our kitchen eavesdropping all of a sudden? She keeps saying that Zhang Juhua is sowing discord, which is why Duo'er has fallen out of love with her. But the way she talks, it sounds like she's trying to please Duo'er. Don't you think that woman is up to something again?"
