"You're too cruel! How can you beat your son like that with a carrying pole? You've ruined the family's fortune!" The person who said this was Zhou Laogen, Yu Qiuying's father-in-law's cousin, who lived behind the Zhou family's house.
Zhou Laogen is old-fashioned and chauvinistic. He dislikes the strong-willed Yu Qiuying and often acts like an elder, interfering in Yu Qiuying's family affairs.
"None of your business! You old geezer with nothing better to do, stop interfering in my family's affairs!" In her past life, Yu Qiuying always thought he was an elder, and since she was a widow, she would have to rely on this relative if anything happened in the future. She suffered a lot of mistreatment from him. Now that she has been reborn, she doesn't care about being an elder or a relative. No one will make her suffer again!
Zhou Laogen was furious that Yu Qiuying dared to insult him. His face contorted with rage, and he pointed a trembling finger at her, yelling, "You! You shrew!"
"You old geezer, you can't even manage your own family affairs and you have the nerve to meddle in other people's business. You shameless bastard, you smell like an old man. Stay away from disgusting people in the future."
He really gave me too much face in my past life, and I've suffered so much for nothing all these years. The young people on the internet are right, what kind of elders or relatives are they? Anyone who makes you angry is no good. Just confront them and that's it.
"You! You!" Zhou Laogen had never been insulted in public like this in his many years of life. His old face turned from black to red, then back to black. He glared at Yu Qiuying, pointing his finger at her, so angry that he couldn't speak.
Yu Qiuying felt relieved. "Go back to your own home. If you ever dare to interfere in my family's affairs again, don't blame me for slapping your old face."
"Fine, fine, fine! You've really taken my kindness for granted. You shrew, remember what you said today. Don't ever come to my house for help again!" Zhou Laogen said harshly with a dark face, then turned and went back to his own house.
Zhou Caiping stared at Yu Qiuying in disbelief. Good heavens, Mom must be furious today! She even dared to scold Third Grandfather!
The other onlookers also had different expressions. Everyone knew that although Yu Qiuying was a bit shrewish and domineering, she was a good person. Apart from the two people in the village who didn't get along with her, she rarely argued with anyone, let alone insulted her elders like this.
Some people felt that Yu Qiuying went a bit too far today. After all, Zhou Laogen was her husband's cousin, and as a widow, she would need relatives' help someday. No matter what, she shouldn't have scolded Zhou Laogen like that.
Some people think Yu Qiuying did a great job and should have cursed Zhou Laogen long ago. What kind of lousy uncle is he? He even had the nerve to say that Yu Qiuying should never ask his family for help in the future. Does he think everyone knows that when Yu Qiuying's husband had an accident, what help did his family give her?
Not only did they not help, they also bullied the widow and her children. Back then, when the man had just died, Zhou Laogen's family took over the threshing machine that the two families shared. Over the years, every time the rice was harvested, Zhou Laogen's family had to use the threshing machine first, and only after they finished using it could Yu Qiuying's family use it.
There are also things from Yu Qiuying's family, such as farm tools, needles, thread, candles, matches, etc. When Zhou Laogen's family doesn't have them or doesn't have enough, they ask Yu Qiuying to borrow them. But when Yu Qiuying asks Zhou Laogen's family to borrow things, she can't borrow them nine times out of ten.
It's good that we've broken ties today; it'll save Zhou Laogen's shameless family from always trying to take advantage of us in the future.
Yu Qiuying had no idea what others were thinking. In any case, she never wanted to suffer from anyone's mistreatment again in this life. No matter what relatives or elders they were, if anyone made her feel bad, she would make them suffer too.
"Old Yu, you're something else! You should have done this a long time ago. Let's see if that old geezer keeps meddling in other people's business." This time, it was Wang Xiuying, who lived diagonally opposite the Zhou family. She was two years older than Yu Qiuying, and the two families were close. They would help each other out whenever they had a problem.
Wang Xiuying had long disliked Zhou Laogen. Whenever something happened in Yu Qiuying's family, that old geezer would always meddle. Yu Qiuying had always tolerated it before, but she never expected that they would finally break off their relationship today. She was actually happy for Yu Qiuying.
"By the way, what did your Jiadong do to make you so angry?" Wang Xiuying has known Yu Qiuying for over twenty years, and this is the first time she has seen her hit her son, Zhou Jiadong, who is usually sensible and obedient. What did Zhou Jiadong do to make her so angry?
