Gu Dahua was acting out of character today, hiding behind others with her neck shrunk, and did not come out to help.
Li Chunjiao thought about it and understood Gu Dahua's intention. Gu Dahua hoped that Wu Jinfeng and Zhao Yunxiang would quarrel more fiercely so that they would not blame her second wife on the third wife's side.
Li Chunjiao shook her head helplessly.
Fortunately, Wu Jinfeng was feeling a bit tired after all the fuss. Li Chunjiao dug out an empty basket from somewhere and turned it upside down on the ground, letting Wu Jinfeng sit down and rest her feet.
Seeing that Wu Jinfeng had stopped making a fuss, Zhou Qimin didn't want to ask her to leave, so he just pretended not to see it and went about his own business.
Bag after bag of grain were put on the big scale, and the first team finally began to distribute the grain.
The team members lined up happily according to the number plates issued by their families.
Aunt Qiuju waited for a long time by the threshing ground before she saw Zhao Yunxiang and her son. She hurried over and said, "Yunxiang! You're finally here! Come quickly! Your mother-in-law wants to collect your family's grain and dividends!"
"What?" Zhao Yunxiang was stunned. In the past, Wu Jinfeng had been mean to Zhao Yunxiang at home, but in public she acted like a kind mother-in-law. Now, was she going to throw away this last bit of veneer?
Aunt Qiuju recounted what had just happened in the warehouse, and she did not let go of any of Wu Jinfeng's intentions.
Haha...it really opened her eyes. Zhao Yunxiang thought helplessly. She had worked hard for a year, and her mother-in-law was waiting for the harvest. Is it really such a beautiful thing?
Zhao Yunxiang hadn't given Wu Jinfeng the money Zhou Zhixin had sent her in the past two months, and Zhou Yuanyuan thought the old woman would come to Zhaojiagou to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, the old woman hadn't said a word for over a month. It turned out she was waiting here! Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly realized.
"Mom, Grandma's going to take our food. What should we do? Are we going to starve?" Zhou Yuanyuan said this deliberately, her almond-shaped eyes wide. Zhou Yuanyuan knew Zhao Yunxiang was soft-hearted. In the past, no matter whether Wu Jinfeng's request was reasonable or not, Zhao Yunxiang would find a way to do it for her mother-in-law. Zhou Yuanyuan now wanted to constantly instill in Zhao Yunxiang the idea of resistance. Only when Zhao Yunxiang was tough could their family live a good life.
"No, we can't let our sister go hungry." When Zhou Jiasheng heard Zhou Yuanyuan say she was hungry, he hurriedly objected.
His sister, who was timid and silent all day in Zhoujia Village, had lived with her grandfather for over a month and had become fairer, fatter, and, most importantly, more lively. Zhou Jiasheng liked the happy smile on his sister's face, not the timid and pitiful one she was now.
"Yes, Mom won't let you go hungry." Zhao Yunxiang nodded vigorously, as if she was speaking to the children, but more importantly, to cheer herself up.
Over the years, Zhao Yunxiang had grown accustomed to Wu Jinfeng's oppression. If she were alone, a little less food wouldn't be a big deal, but she still had two children! No matter how hard it was, she couldn't let her children suffer. Zhao Yunxiang secretly made up her mind.
Aunt Qiuju listened to the conversation between Zhao Yunxiang, her mother, and her son and decided that Yunxiang had made the right decision to return to her parents' home. Zhao Yunxiang, who had always been tolerant and weak, finally stood up a little.
In the warehouse, most of the team members had already divided up their food and were leaving in a jubilant mood. This year's harvest was good, and everyone had received more food than in previous years, plus some cash. Life was getting better and better!
Wu Jinfeng, who was sitting on the basket, had sharp eyes and saw Zhao Yunxiang walking into the warehouse. She was so angry that she jumped up from the basket.
This little girl has really sharp ears! She knew the production team was distributing grain today, so she came all the way back from Zhaojiagou? Now, how can she take Zhao Yunxiang's share?
Zhou Zhigang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Yunxiang. Seeing how his mother Wu Jinfeng was acting today, if Zhao Yunxiang didn't show up, the food and money might actually end up in Wu Jinfeng's hands.
Zhou Zhigang was Wu Jinfeng's son, and no matter how much sympathy he felt for Zhao Yunxiang, he knew he couldn't handle Wu Jinfeng's tantrums. Furthermore, Zhou Zhigang had his own unspoken agenda.
"Zhao Yunxiang, what are you doing here?" Wu Jinfeng jumped up from the basket and rushed directly in front of Zhao Yunxiang, blocking her way to the desk.
"Mom, the team is distributing food today, and I'm coming to get some." Zhao Yunxiang was frightened by the vicious Wu Jinfeng. Thinking of her two children behind her, Zhao Yunxiang steadied herself from wanting to retreat.
"Take food? What food? Your food team leader said to compensate me." Wu Jinfeng didn't care about anything and first pulled Zhou Qimin over, putting the "groundless" promise on Zhou Qimin.
"Auntie, you're just talking nonsense. I didn't say that." Zhou Qimin was startled and hurried out from behind the desk to clarify. Wu Jinfeng was really good at lying. He was a real team leader sitting here, and Wu Jinfeng actually "represented" him right in front of him.
"I also thought Brother Qimin wouldn't do that." Zhao Yunxiang nodded at Zhou Qimin, a greeting. Zhou Zhixin had said at home that Brother Qimin was his good friend, a man he had grown up with, and a very kind person. He told Zhao Yunxiang that if she had any difficulties, she could ask Zhou Qimin for help. It's no wonder that over the past few years, if Zhou Qimin hadn't been secretly looking after her and often assigning her some easy tasks, Zhao Yunxiang's life would have been even more difficult.
"Oh my God! I'd rather die! My wife is unfilial and goes back to her parents' home to be lazy. The captain is unreasonable and supports this little bitch!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Jinfeng quickly used her ultimate move, sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and burst into tears.
"Auntie, you..." Zhou Qimin was stunned. It was the first time he saw Wu Jinfeng throwing a tantrum. Wu Jinfeng was really full of fighting spirit when she was throwing a tantrum. She not only scolded Zhao Yunxiang, but also scolded him, the team leader?
"Mom, please get up quickly." Zhou Zhigang was also startled by Wu Jinfeng. Wu Jinfeng often threw tantrums at home, but this was the first time she had done so outside. Perhaps, because her elaborate plans had been dashed, Wu Jinfeng could no longer maintain her usual "kindness"?
"I can't get up. I'm going to die today. Forget it!" Wu Jinfeng didn't care about that. Seeing the money that was about to be in her hands fly away, Wu Jinfeng really wanted to die at this moment.
Zhao Yunxiang wanted to help Wu Jinfeng up from the ground. After all, there were still some team members in the warehouse. With so many people watching Wu Jinfeng making a scene, Zhao Yunxiang felt hot on her face and was extremely ashamed.
"Mom, what's wrong with Grandma?" Zhou Yuanyuan grabbed Zhao Yunxiang's clothes, preventing her from moving. Zhou Yuanyuan knew that if Zhao Yunxiang went to help Wu Jinfeng, she would definitely make some strange requests. In front of so many people, Zhao Yunxiang, who was shy, might agree to something.
Humph! With Zhou Yuanyuan here, she will nip any possibility of Old Lady Zhou becoming a demon in the bud.
