Li Shuping turned her head to the right and looked around.
That expression clearly said, "Who are you, mom? Where is your mom?"
This Zhang Jiao is really shameless. Before at the quilt factory, she wanted to fight with her and call the police, but now she is calling her mother again.
Of course Li Shuping didn't think so. She realized her mistake and regretted it, so she called her mother again.
Zhang Jiao is such a smart person. Now she calls her mother politely, just because she sees that she is making money from running the dumpling shop.
"..." Zhang Jiao's eyes twitched wildly and her expression was extremely embarrassed.
Thinking of her mother's words, she still asked, "Mom, how did you make the sweet soup you made for me every month? I have my period this month and my stomach hurts so much."
Zhang Jiao has a cold uterus and has always suffered from abdominal pain during menstruation.
Many people stop feeling pain after giving birth, but her pain did not change after she gave birth to Junjun.
In the past, whenever she had her period, Li Shuping would cook her some motherwort, brown sugar and egg water, and she would feel no pain after drinking it.
I didn’t have much pain during my period last month, but this time it was very painful.
She couldn't even stand in the factory, so she took a few hours off and went home early.
"Shuping." Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wang walked out of the courtyard. Seeing Zhang Jiao there, they glanced at her with contempt.
Li Shuping took out two bags of crabs from the truck bed and said, "Someone gave me a basket of hairy crabs. Xiaoyu and I couldn't finish them, so I brought some for you guys."
Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wang took it with surprise. It is rare to find such good crabs at this time of year.
By September, such crabs can be sold for six yuan each.
"Oh, how can we accept such good crabs?" Aunt Zhao said embarrassedly.
Aunt Wang: “That’s right.”
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Xiaoyu and I can't finish them, so you guys help us eat them. These crabs are not easy to keep and die quickly. It would be a waste if they die."
"You should get it and eat it early. If it's dead, don't eat it, or you'll get a stomachache." Li Shuping warned.
Zhang Jiao's eyes turned red when she saw the crabs her mother-in-law gave to Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wang. Such good crabs must be very expensive.
Aunt Zhao: "I steamed it and ate it in the evening."
She had originally wanted to wait until tomorrow, the Dragon Boat Festival, to entertain guests at home, but then she thought that if the animal died after being raised overnight, it would be a waste of time.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll leave first." Li Shuping said as she got on the seat of the tricycle.
Zhang Jiao saw that she was about to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "Mom, wait a minute..."
Li Shuping interrupted her impatiently, "Have some shame, who is your mother? Stop claiming to be your mother everywhere."
"I still prefer the way you were at the quilt factory, calling me an old bitch and wanting to fight me to death. At least you were somewhat genuine back then."
She is too hypocritical and fake now.
“…” Zhang Jiao choked and her originally pale face turned red with shame.
Li Shuping snorted coldly and rode away on her tricycle.
"Zhang Jiao, you called Shuping an old bitch, and you want to fight her to the death?" Aunt Wang frowned and asked Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao hurriedly explained, "That, that's because she went to the quilt factory and beat me up..."
Aunt Zhao interrupted her, "I know Shuping's personality. If you hadn't done anything excessive, why would she go to the quilt factory and beat you up?"
"That's right." Aunt Wang agreed, "Shu Ping is your elder after all, how can you call her an old bitch? Is that what your parents taught you?"
"Ask yourself, since you married into the Lin family, has Shuping treated you badly as her daughter-in-law?"
"All the young wives in Yard 18 envy you, Zhang Jiao, for having a good mother-in-law. Yet you scold her like this. You are simply a heartless person." Aunt Zhao looked at Zhang Jiao with disdain and scolded her.
“…”
Zhang Jiao was speechless after being confronted by someone, and she just felt her stomach hurt even more.
She didn't argue with Aunt Zhao and the others. She just covered her stomach and went back to her room to lie down.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiao didn’t cook at night, otherwise she would feel even worse.
Liu Qin prepared dinner, and then Zhang Jiao went out to eat, holding her stomach.
"Who's steaming crabs?" Lin Yongnian tilted his head back with his nostrils flaring.
This smells so good.
Zhang Jiao picked up the chopsticks and said, "Where are Aunt Zhao and Aunt Wang's houses?"
"How did you know?" Lin Guodong asked.
Zhang Jiao: "My mother gave them these. I had a stomachache and came back from leave in the afternoon. I saw them. Each of them had a big bag. There were at least ten of them in each bag. They were almost as big as a fist."
"She said someone gave her a basket, and she and Lin Xiaoyu couldn't finish it, so they gave it to Aunt Zhao and the others."
Lin Jianshe pouted and said, "My mom is really something. She didn't even give some to her family members when she couldn't finish the expensive crabs, but gave them to outsiders."
Zhang Jiao sneered, "Who should I blame for this? It's someone's brother. Because of an outsider's matter, he caused Mom to break off relations with our entire family. Now we are no longer family to her."
This matter is Liu Qin's family's fault, otherwise, not to mention the crabs, even the dumpling shop would belong to them.
Liu Qin's face darkened. "Who put a knife to your neck and forced your eldest wife to sign a divorce agreement?"
"Isn't it because you saw that Jianshe had already signed the contract, and you were afraid that your husband wouldn't sign it, and that she would have to rely on you for her retirement after she died, so you urged your husband to sign it?"
"You..." Zhang Jiao choked.
"What's the matter? Now that you see the old lady's dumpling shop is making money, you're jealous and regretful. You've forgotten the pain of the slap so quickly and want to curry favor with her and get her to give you some money?" Liu Qin's eyes were full of mockery.
It would have been fine if Liu Qin didn't mention the slap in the face, but once she did, Zhang Jiao, who was already feeling resentful, exploded.
"If you hadn't tricked me and used me as a gun, asking me to go to school to find Xiaoyu to go to the hospital to take care of Dad, would I have been able to bear this slap?"
"Who used you as a gun?" Liu Qin slammed the chopsticks on the table.
"I just made a suggestion. Letting Lin Xiaoyu go to the hospital to take care of Dad was something we all agreed to after discussing it. How can it be considered that I'm cheating you?"
"That's right, sister-in-law, you must be responsible for what you say." Lin Jianshe followed.
"Besides, Dad was hospitalized by my eldest brother."
Lin Guodong was not happy. "What do you mean I was hospitalized because of drugs? Don't make it sound like I deliberately drugged Dad to harm him."
"I didn't know that the medicine would cause any problems. I just wanted Dad to get better soon. Did you ever care about Dad when he was sick? Did you ever think about giving him medicine? I didn't even see you pour him a glass of water."
He just likes to do bad things, but Lin Jianshe is completely unfilial.
Lin Jianshe: "You, Lin Guodong, are the most filial..."
Lin Yongnian's head was about to explode listening to them quarreling. They had already talked about the past, why were they bringing it up again!
"Pa pa pa." He slapped the table three times with all his strength.
Lin Guodong and the others all shut up.
Lin Yongnian's face darkened. "Can you please stop quarreling during meals? It sounds better when you quarrel, right?"
The four of them lowered their heads and said nothing, but their expressions were still very unconvinced.
"Li Shuping is no longer a member of our Lin family. Can you please stop quarreling over an outsider like her?"
Lin Yongnian looked at his sons and daughters-in-law and asked.
Seeing that they were silent, he said seriously, "I still say the same thing. No matter how much money Li Shuping makes or how good her business is, it has nothing to do with my Lin family."
"You have to have integrity as a person, and you have to have integrity as a member of the Lin family! If any of you see Li Shuping becoming successful and want to curry favor with her, get out of this family."
“…”
