When Mianhua looked up, she saw Liu Hongyan's sarcastic face with her eyebrows raised. In her hand, she was holding the egg cake that she had snatched from Mianhua.
Cotton's eyes are filled with tears:
"The cake was given by my third aunt."
Liu Hongyan was not surprised at all to hear what Mianhua said, because the money and food of the Lu family were all controlled by the old lady, and everything for food and daily use in the family had to come from her hands.
Any good things in the house were given to my father-in-law and the two older grandsons of the Lu family. When would it be the turn of the little girl, Mianhua, to eat them?
Besides, the old lady is very stingy in her daily life and never buys any snacks like egg cakes. The only one in the whole Lu family who can afford these precious snacks and give them to a little girl like Mianhua is the idiot Jiang Chunzao!
After Jiang Chunzao divided the family property, she became even more stupid. Why did she give the delicious egg cake to Mianhua, a loser, instead of giving it to her own Mu Tou?
Liu Hongyan sneered and squinted at Xiao Mianhua who was wiping her tears with her hands:
"This cake is really good. Second aunt is pregnant. Cotton, this cake is given to your little brother by your third aunt. Second aunt will eat it for your little brother."
After saying this, Liu Hongyan grabbed the egg cake in her hand and put it into her mouth.
Mianhua was thinking about leaving the delicious cake for her parents, but when she saw that Liu Hongyan was about to eat the cake, she immediately reached out to grab it and cried:
"No, this cake was given to me by my third aunt because I was hungry. I kept it for my parents, not for you!"
When Mrs. Lu heard Mianhua complaining about being hungry and asking to leave the egg cake for her, her eyes suddenly turned red. She jumped up, grabbed Liu Hongyan's arm, and snatched the egg cake from her hand:
"This is the egg cake that my third sister-in-law gave me, not for you! If you want to eat it, you can buy it with your own money!"
Mrs. Lu's eyes were as red as a rabbit's as she stared at Liu Hongyan.
Liu Hongyan felt guilty for a moment, but then she remembered that she was carrying the eldest grandson of the Lu family, so what could she not eat? She jumped up to Old Lady Lu and complained in a shrill voice:
"Mom! Look at my sister-in-law, what are you doing?
I was pregnant with Lao Lu's grandson, but I just wanted to eat cotton and a piece of egg cake, but my sister-in-law acted like she wanted to eat me!"
Old Lady Lu saw that her eldest daughter-in-law, who was usually gentle and obedient, was actually making trouble in front of the villagers, making her an old woman a laughing stock in front of the whole village. She became furious and glared at them with her old triangular eyes:
"What do you want to do, eldest daughter? It's just a piece of egg cake. If the second daughter wants to eat it, just give it to her. Cotton is a worthless person, and you want to eat this good thing?"
When Mrs. Lu heard the hidden meaning in her mother-in-law's words, she felt that throwing away Cotton was a waste of money. She also remembered that her daughter had worked like a slave in Mr. Lu's family since she was a child, working all day long. The little girl was not even ten years old, but her hands were as rough as tree bark. Her eye sockets became hot and her eyes became redder. She did not say a word, but just held the still sobbing Cotton and wiped her tears.
When Mrs. Lu saw that her eldest daughter-in-law didn't listen to her, she was furious and threw the Wo Wo head in her hand to the ground. She yelled at the stunned Lu Dashan:
"Rebellion, rebellion, this is going to be a rebellion! Boss, this is the good daughter-in-law you married! She doesn't even listen to her own mother-in-law!"
Lu Ershan was also talking nonsense:
"What my sister-in-law did today was really unfilial."
The noisy quarrels of the Lu family attracted villagers not far away. Old man Lu saw that everyone was looking at him with a noisy look, and his old face was as black as the bottom of a pot. In his heart, he also felt that Mrs. Lu should not make trouble in front of the villagers.
Lu Dashan usually listened to Mrs. Lu the most. When he heard his mother's roar and the looks from the villagers, his face flushed red. He went up to Mrs. Lu and apologized to the family:
"What are you doing? You have to make your parents angry on such a good day. Hurry up and apologize to them. Cotton, give the cake your third aunt gave you to your second aunt. Your second aunt is pregnant with your little brother. How can you be so ignorant!"
Mianhua, who had originally hidden the egg cake in her arms like a treasure, looked dumbfounded after hearing what Lu Dashan said. She stared at Lu Dashan in a daze, tears falling down her face.
Lu Dashan made Mianhua look away, while Liu Hongyan proudly stood by with her hands folded, waiting for Mianhua to bring her an egg cake. After waiting for a while and seeing that Mianhua didn't bring her any, she simply tried to grab it herself.
As soon as Liu Hongyan stretched out her claws, she was pushed away by Lu Dasao. Seeing this, Lu Dashan said angrily:
"What are you doing?"
What are you doing?!
Sister Lu sneered, stared with a pair of bloodshot eyes, and said loudly:
"Why are you asking me what I do! Lu Dashan, I also want to ask you what you do! Ever since I married into your Lu family, I have been doing all the work in this house. I do the laundry, I cook, and even when your father and mother peed at night, I am the one who empties the chamber pot!
Before, when I got married, my two younger brothers-in-law had not yet married. In your words, I am the eldest daughter-in-law, so I should work harder and honor your parents!
Okay, I’m the eldest son’s wife, I deserve it, I accept it, but later Liu Hongyan came into the family, and the third son’s wife also came into the family, and I still have to do all the housework alone!
The third brother's family separated from us, and they have a big family to take care of. I won't get involved. Why should Liu Hongyan, an old woman with healthy hands and feet, not do any work?
Let me, Cotton, a girl less than ten years old, work like a slave at home all day long, just because she is shameless and can lay eggs!
What's wrong? She is so proud of having a baby in her belly. The whole family has to coax her. I also gave the Lu family a grandson. Why don't your parents support me like this?
Who isn't a daughter raised by their parents? I gave birth to Mianhua and raised her to this age, not to wipe Liu Hongyan's buttocks. If you don't love your daughter, I do!"
Mrs. Lu's words were like punches hitting Lu Dashan in the face, making Lu Dashan's face red and neck thick.
After hearing these words, Mrs. Lu thought of her most beloved grandson Xuedong. Her precious grandson Xuedong was born to the eldest daughter of the family. Even for the sake of her grandson, she had to give face to the eldest daughter of the family.
Here, Liu Hongyan didn't know that Old Lady Lu had changed her mind. When she heard that Mrs. Lu had revealed all her past in front of the villagers, she was so angry that she jumped up and wanted to hit Mrs. Lu.
"Xu Meilan, you dare to ruin my reputation. I will fight you!"
As soon as Liu Hongyan jumped up and stretched out her hand, she was held down by Lu Lin who came over after hearing the noise. Seeing Lu Lin standing in front of her, Liu Hongyan was furious and was about to go up to him to fight, but was slapped in the face by Lu's wife and was stunned.
Liu Hongyan had never been hit by a woman since she married Lao Lu. This slap made her face burn. She covered her face and cursed:
"Chen Meilan, you bitch! How dare you hit me!"
"I'm going to hit you."
Mrs. Lu had a cold face and wiped her hands slowly.
Liu Hongyan was almost mad with anger. She went up to pull Lu Ershan and shouted:
"Lu Ershan, you idiot, you just stood there and watched your wife get beaten!"
Lu Ershan was originally a coward who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He did not dare to provoke the tall and straight Lu Lin. When he saw Jiang Chunzao protecting Xiao Shitou and Xiao Moli behind Lu Lin, he rolled up his sleeves and cursed.
"Today's incident was caused by the troublemaker in the Third Brother's family. Third Brother, your wife has caused trouble at home. Today, I will teach your wife a lesson!"
As Lu Ershan was about to attack Jiang Chunzao, Lu Lin's face darkened and he reached out and pressed Lu Ershan against the tree trunk. Lu Ershan's face was pressed against the rough tree trunk and he could not move at all. He just wanted to curse when he heard Lu Lin's low voice ringing in his ears.
"You dare."
Lu Ershan looked up and saw Lu Lin's black eyes flashing with a cold light like a beast. Thinking of his hard and cold fist, he shuddered in his heart and immediately said in a flattering way:
"Third brother, second brother is joking with you, don't take it seriously, this is all caused by your sister-in-law, that bitch. Let second brother go quickly and watch how second brother beats up this bitch!"
Liu Hongyan:.........
The villagers nearby looked at Lu Ershan's ugly appearance and laughed at him.
"This Lu Ershan is such a jerk!"
"Lu Lao Er has been a jerk since he was young. Didn't you see that Lu Lao San pinned the jerk to the tree with just one hand?"
"It's a shame to raise a son like this."
The villagers were laughing, but when the Lu family heard it, their faces changed.
Mrs. Lu was about to put her hands on her hips and start to curse.
The captain's roar rang in my ears.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Behave yourself, or I'll deduct your work points!"
The old lady Lu, who was originally cursing, immediately became quiet.
~
The farce at the Lu family ended with the timely appearance of the captain, but when the Lu family returned home and closed the door, another farce broke out.
Liu Hongyan was making a fuss in the yard with her bulging belly, and Mrs. Lu didn't keep silent and started to curse back at her. The angry old lady Lu was jumping around in the yard but no one paid any attention to her. Until the last few days after the wheat harvest, the villagers were all gossiping about the Lu family.
Jiang Chunzao had been threshing wheat in the village for a few days. She kept hearing a group of women in the village asking her about Lao Lu's family.
Jiang Chunzao was so disturbed that he went home and complained about it to Lu Lin at night. Lu Lin was silent for a while, and asked for leave for his wife the next day, saying that she was exposed to the sun in the wheat field during the day and felt very uncomfortable.
After hearing this, the captain simply waved his hand and let Jiang Chunzao go home to rest. Jiang Chunzao was happy to have some free time, so he made delicious food for the two kids at home.
When the old women in the village wanted to find Jiang Chunzao to inquire about Lao Lu's family, they couldn't find him anywhere.
