Chapter 222 Trouble
Xie Yanli was taken away, and the Xie family started cleaning up after finishing their meal!
In the kitchen, Wang Guihua, Zhou Ye, Xie Meili, and Xie Hongli were tidying up the remaining vegetables and steamed buns.
The steamed buns were all-you-can-eat, so there weren't many left. I counted them, and there were only about twenty left!
Wang Guihua thought, "I'll give Hongli five of them later!"
Keep the rest at home for later!
With a large family, it's only a matter of two meals.
There are still two jin of ribbonfish left, which is only about twenty yuan! I saved them up specifically to eat during the Chinese New Year!
Pork, vermicelli, cabbage, and a whole bowl of it! I gave each of the people helping with the cleaning outside a bowl to take away, and that was about it!
"Mom, there's still a lot of this fried tofu!"
Xie Hongli discovered that there was still a lot of dried tofu in the red basin. This tofu was cheap, but frying it required a lot of oil. It was a perfect match for stir-fries or soups!
There's usually nothing left over from a banquet.
The Xie family had a lot of dishes today, including many good ones... so the dried tofu wasn't the most important thing!
Wang Guihua looked at it and said, "Pull out half of it, we'll use it for the New Year, and you can take a big bowl with you later!"
The rest can be distributed among the villagers!
"I'm exhausted after a long day!"
In the courtyard, Miao Zhaodi, as a family member, was supposed to help, but instead, she was eating sunflower seeds while glancing at the people who were working!
"You guys do a good job, and your sister-in-law will definitely treat you well later. Maybe she'll even give each of you a ribbonfish!"
"Keep up the good work..."
Everyone in the courtyard was on good terms with Wang Guihua!
An aunt rolled her eyes: "Miao Zhaodi, how can you be so shameless? We outsiders are helping with the work, and you, the family member, are just watching?"
You're also a sister-in-law in the Xie family. Besides talking, what else can you do?
ah?
"Say less!"
"That's right, we're all close to Guihua and came to help. Besides, I just ate a piece of ribbonfish, and it tasted amazing!"
I don't have the nerve to ask someone for a fish!
I heard it's a sea fish, very precious!
"That's right. It's already quite good that we can broaden our horizons at the banquet. Why do you want to take another one?"
Why don't you just go to heaven?
"That's right, today's food was really outrageous! Miao Zhaodi, you ate quite a lot! You even ate two of those big steamed buns!"
You have a really good appetite!
By the way, how big was the red envelope you gave your niece?
"Hehehe... That's right, Miao Zhaodi, how much did you give as a gift?"
Miao Zhaodi was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged!
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm concerned? I'm her aunt, isn't it normal for me to come and eat at the banquet?"
Besides, you've done all this work in the yard, you should expect some benefits, right?
"Even if the ribbonfish is precious, can it be more precious than the feelings between you and my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law wouldn't be reluctant to part with it, would she?"
cut! "
"Miao Zhaodi, I think you have a sharp tongue! Do you think we owe you something just because someone is having a wedding?"
Why are you so free?
If you're so free, why don't you do some work?
"The yard hasn't been swept yet, and there's still this dirty water. You poured it out?"
Miao Zhaodi grinned slightly. She wasn't going to do any work!
Wang Guihua's group of sisters are very efficient at their work! It also includes Zhao Dalan from the Song family!
Zhao Dalan is not good at talking; she just buries herself in hard work!
Well...
Since Huang Ying took over the family business, she has been freed from doing things she is not good at!
Just like today, we eat when we eat, and we work when we work...
She's so much less of a worry!
Rather, it was the thought of her eldest daughter's family affairs that made her anxious!
But Huang Ying said there's no rush!
She's not in a hurry!
See, this is the advantage of having someone in charge at home!
The yard was spotless; there weren't even two tables left, all belonging to the families present.
I'll bring it back when I get back!
"Guihua, we're all packed up, we're leaving now!"
"Hey... wait, wait..."
Wang Guihua came out carrying a large basin.
"You guys must have had a long day. This pork and vermicelli hasn't been touched at all!"
Although it's leftovers, it's not just leftover food!
Everything was clean, but it was all cold!
Each of you take a bowl home, add some cabbage or something, and that'll be enough for the whole family!
And this dried tofu, it's all deep-fried, I wrapped it in parchment paper! You can take it home to eat during the New Year!
"Oh, Guihua, why are you being so polite with us? We've been sisters for so many years, please keep this for yourselves!"
Chinese New Year is almost here!
That saves us the trouble of doing it!
"That's right, we're really full today! It's the first time we've ever had such a good wedding banquet! We're completely satisfied!"
Don't be shy with us!
"Yes... no need to be so formal!"
Wang Guihua smiled broadly: "Don't mention it, we're sisters, that's why I'm willing to give it to you!"
Don't be shy!
"That's right, my sister-in-law said not to be shy, you should take it quickly. I looked inside, but there's no fish!"
Why……
"Sister-in-law, why are you being so stingy? I thought we'd each get one! Are you just being stingy?"
The smile on Wang Guihua's face disappeared!
"Miao Zhaodi, today is such a joyous occasion, I don't want to slap you! You better behave yourself!" Wang Guihua warned.
Miao Zhaodi pouted: "Sister-in-law, why are you scolding me? These are all your friends, and they've done so much work!"
Even if you don't agree to the terms, you can't insult me, right?
That's a rare item, it's normal that you're reluctant to part with it, just say so!
What did I do to cause trouble?
Am I not telling the truth?
Wang Guihua was so angry she wanted to hit someone!
Her old friends wouldn't stand for it!
"Miao Zhaodi, you're really free! You're willing to buy a fish for each of us? Forget about ribbonfish, even a carp would be fine!"
Are you willing to do that?
"That's right, let's not use carp, crucian carp will do too, one small fish for each person, you should be willing to give that up, right?"
When will you give it to us?
"Yes, I want one too, will you give me one?"
Miao Zhaodi's face changed: "You...can you tell the difference between good and bad? I'm speaking up for you!"
Besides, today is my sister-in-law's daughter's wedding day.
What does this have to do with me?
"It's not my house!"
"Oh~ so you knew it wasn't yours? Tch, I thought you didn't know. Why are you being so sarcastic?"
Does someone owe you something?
I think you're the one who wants to eat it, right?
I'm craving something sweet!
"That's right. You said it yourself, it's not your family's event. So you mean when your family has a happy occasion, you'll give us a share of a fish?"
That's wonderful!
Wow, Miao girl, you're so generous!
Oh dear, I underestimated you before!
When is your son getting married? We'll all come to help out then. Do you remember your promise?
"Haha...yes...we all love to eat fish!"
Miao Zhaodi never expected that in the end, she would get herself into trouble!
He glared angrily at Wang Guihua!
"You...you've gone too far! Don't come to my son's wedding! Dream on if you want to eat fish!"
Eat your own shit!
"Pah! Who wants to eat your fish!"
"Exactly, don't complain later that we didn't come!"
"We dare not go, I'm afraid we won't have enough to eat!"
Wang Guihua ignored her and directly told her sisters to take their things!
Each person received a large paper package containing dried tofu, and a bowl of pork and vermicelli noodles, all served in large bowls.
The sliced pork is laid out on top, and it looks very tempting!
The sisters couldn't resist the temptation and happily went home with their purchases!
That was handled brilliantly!
Every household is happy, every household is blessed!
After everyone left, Miao Zhaodi couldn't hold back any longer; the pot was completely empty!
That……
What about mine?
"No, sister-in-law, is that all?"
"Yeah... what else?"
Wang Guihua looked at her strangely.
Miao Zhaodi spread her hands: "Where's mine?"
"Yours? What's yours? What do I owe you?"
Miao Zhaodi dropped the pretense completely: "No, sister-in-law, how can you be so stingy? You give other people so many good things, but when it comes to your own family, you get nothing?"
I'm Yanli's aunt!
Honey, do you understand?
Shouldn't you give me something nice?
"Hehe... This is hilarious. Good? Good what? Miao Zhaodi, you've come here and haven't done any work, yet you expect good things?"
Are you dreaming?
"I'm a relative, what am I supposed to be your sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense. My brother and Jianshe have both gone out. When they come back, they'll blame you for not knowing how to handle things!"
Hurry up and take the ribbonfish out!
"You won't share with others, or even with your family?"
Wang Guihua understood: Miao Zhaodi wanted fish.
"What are you thinking about? You want ribbonfish, right?"
Miao Zhaodi's eyes lit up, and she only heard what she wanted to hear: "Sister-in-law, you're going to bring me fish, right?"
None of the kids in my family have ever eaten this before!
He didn't come back today either. You can't bear to let the kids not have any food, right?
Why……
Sister-in-law, I don't need much, just give me five or six catties!
Make sure they're pre-fried, so I don't have to fry them myself when I get back!
hehe……"
"Haha...you've got a good idea! Isn't five or six pounds too little...?"
Wang Guihua glanced at it!
Miao Zhaodi said happily, "Ten catties is fine too, I'll take some back to my parents' home! Hehe..."
"Eat shit!" Wang Guihua suddenly yelled angrily!
"Hey, sister-in-law, why are you swearing at people!"
"What's wrong with me scolding you? Huh? What's wrong with me scolding you? You're dreaming! You think I can't even scold you?"
Ten pounds of ribbonfish? Why don't you just say that our whole family should skip the New Year celebrations and give it all to you?
We don't need the New Year's goods at home anymore, we'll send them all to your house?
How can you be so capable?
"Let me tell you, I have ribbonfish at home, but I'm not giving them to you! My whole family needs to eat, why should I give them to you!"
dream!
"I'm telling you, there's nothing there, get lost!"
Wang Guihua cursed impatiently!
Miao Zhaodi is a tough nut to crack!
"Hey... Sister-in-law, that's not right of you. You have ribbonfish, why won't you give it to me?"
I can see that you brought back quite a lot!
So much food, did you finish it all?
Since you say you have it, then give it to me!
We're family, so don't be shy. Not only should you bring me fish, but also all the leftover vegetables and meat from today!
We're family!
You can't be so stingy, it won't sound good if word gets out!
And the New Year's goods that Zhou Ye and the others brought back, they can't refuse to give them to me!
You should at least give me some!
I didn't take it today because you guys were being nice to me!
"You're already being very accommodating by only asking for it after they've left!"
"Ha...you really dare to ask for that! What else do you want? Just tell me!"
Miao Zhaodi rolled her eyes; when it came to saving face, she didn't care!
"I saw those bananas! Zhou took two bunches when he came back! There must have been dozens! I don't want more, but since you have a large family, just keep a bunch!"
My family loves them, please give us one!
And those canned goods, I didn't see them on the table!
Give us half!
The younger generation in the family has gone out and is finally back for the New Year. Shouldn't they give their elders some gifts?
"Hmm, is there anything else?"
Wang Guihua wanted to see just how shameless she was!
Miao Zhaodi said with a grin, "There's nothing else. With so much stuff, I need to borrow a trolley from home to push it back!"
Bring us some more cigarettes and alcohol!
That's all!
Seeing Miao Zhaodi's behavior, Wang Guihua could no longer hold back!
He picked up a broom and swung it at her: "Even in my wildest dreams, I wouldn't dare do something like this. You really dare to dream!"
Miao Zhaodi, do I owe you?
Am I your father or your mother? Or your ancestor? Are you making a wish here?
Why don't you just fly to the moon? Dream on!
roll!
Get out of here!
I'll kill you!
Miao Zhaodi was startled!
I quickly hid, but I was still furious...
Everyone was pretty much the same before, but Wang Guihua had a son who was very successful. He had been outstanding for so many years and finally retired from the army...
She was quite smug about it for a while.
And what was the result?
He married a good wife.
Rich, good-looking, cultured, and from the city!
This is infuriating!
Their daughter got divorced, which finally gave them something to lose, but she went to work in the city and even found a permanent job!
It's his first marriage!
Isn't that infuriating?
Why can't my own son and daughter find someone as suitable as me?
ah?
Comparing yourself to others is infuriating! It's unfair! It's just so unfair!
They're all family, and they brought back rare goods from the city without sharing a single penny.
Isn't that going too far?
Do you still dare to hit people?
Jealousy can completely change a person!
Miao Zhaodi started speaking without any restraint...
"What are you so smug about? What kind of good woman do you think your son married? He works outside while his wife runs off with other men!"
Does anyone know what it does?
She looks like a fairy; I wonder how many people have their eyes on her!
Are you still happy?
Maybe she earned the money by selling her body.
Even if your son has a permanent job, where did he get so much money? Huh? Didn't he get it by selling his wife?
What a despicable person!
You're the only one who treats this like a treasure!
Even if you gave it to my son, he wouldn't want it!
Wang Guihua's face turned pale with anger!
How dare she?
Zhou Ye had originally been watching the commotion in the kitchen, wanting to see just how shameless Miao Zhaodi could be! But…
How did I end up getting caught up in the gossip myself?
Hey, why are you making up stories about yourself like this?
Without hesitation, I stepped forward!
"Auntie, what are you talking about me about when you have nothing better to do?"
When Wang Guihua saw that she had angered Zhou Ye, she felt even worse...
That damned woman, it seems I've been too lenient with her, how dare she bully her own daughter-in-law.
The broom swung even harder. Miao Zhaodi tried to run, but Zhou Ye blocked her. She tried to run to the other side, but Xie Hongli and Xie Meili blocked her again!
"Why are you running away, Auntie? You like to talk, so go ahead and talk... keep talking..."
Miao Zhaodi completely disregarded everything else...
She's been holding back for a long time...
If it weren't for the Xie family's reputation, she would have said it long ago!
"Zhou Ye, you're the one who told me to say it, so I did! Tell me honestly what shameless things you've been doing behind my family's back."
ah?
You went back to the village with a man a while ago and even went up the mountain. Who knows what you two were doing?
He went up the mountain and never came down. Tell me, did he go off to fool around?
Pah!
Did that jerk of a man give you this money?
You're just a little girl, with no parents to support you. Where did you get so much money from?
If you tell the truth, maybe when Jianshe wants to divorce you, I can put in a good word for you!
Don't push your luck!
You mean I'm with some random guy?
"Heh... what else? Everyone saw it!"
"Pah! You think you could see me messing around with some random guy? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you to keep quiet?!"
Miao Zhaodi snorted: "Then tell me, where did you get that money? Don't tell me that Xie Yanli's job in the provincial capital wasn't arranged by you?"
Construction is somewhat related, but who would help him without money!
Wasn't the money you paid for it?
I'm telling you, you're a complete idiot!
Xie Jianshe might have married you for your money; otherwise, why would he tolerate you being with other men?
ah?
Why don't you tell me...?
Please explain.
Zhou Ye: "What the hell am I supposed to explain to you!"
"Mom, can I hit someone?"
"Beat her! Today she's not your aunt, she's just a gossipy bitch. Beat her hard, and if anything happens, say I did it!"
"I'll take care of it for you!"
"Alright!"
Zhou Ye's gaze toward Miao Zhaodi was sinister!
Miao Zhaodi realized the situation was bad. She had seen Zhou Ye's methods before, and she couldn't let her hit anyone!
"I...I was wrong, I was only doing it for your own good!"
I did not mean that! "
"Zhou Ye, look, my sister-in-law's family is just taking advantage of you! Don't lie to them! Think about it, in this village, which man would let his wife go out alone with another man?"
No way!
Similarly, why is Xie Jianshe allowed to do it?
That means he doesn't care about you!
"I don't value you!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Ye pretended to be puzzled as he looked at her. He had underestimated her; she even knew how to sow discord! She had improved!
Miao Zhaodi quickly smiled and said, "Zhou Ye, look at you, you're an educated youth! And you're good-looking too!"
I know you brought money with you when you came!
But there are many families with better conditions than Xie Jianshe's, aren't there? Although he is one of the better ones in Hongqi Village.
But...but...he has a disability!
Should I find a local girl?
But why did I specifically seek you out?
"Then why?"
Miao Zhaodi saw that Zhou had taken her words to heart, and a proud look immediately appeared on her face.
What city girl? She's smart, but she's still incredibly naive!
"Of course it's for your money. I don't know where your money comes from, but I know you have money!"
Think about it, you're all family now!
Can you bear to watch your in-laws eat meager fare while you yourself enjoy a life of luxury?
No way!
Can you see that your husband has problems with his legs and feet, and you don't take him to the hospital to see a doctor?
No way!
Can you just stand by and watch your in-laws be bullied and do nothing?
No way!
Neither is possible, so you're the one who spends the money and the one who puts in the effort!
But there's a very serious problem, do you know what it is?
"What?"
"Your money will eventually run out! Once your money is gone, you'll be no longer of any use to me!"
Xie Jianshe will divorce you then!
What else do you have?
"Think about it, isn't what your aunt said right? How much money have you spent on the Xie family since you got married?"
Think back carefully.
Did you buy anything for Xie Yanli's wedding this time?
Did you pay for that ribbonfish?
And those clothes Xie Yanli is wearing, did you buy them? At that time, who else but you could have worn those trendy clothes?
Is that right?
You're rich, but it doesn't look like it!
Even if you have ten thousand, it won't be enough to spend if you spend one hundred today and twenty tomorrow!
I'm spending money every single day!
The Xie family is the one enjoying the benefits, but what about you?
"You married a peasant. You were born into such a good family, and you married a peasant. Look at your sister-in-law and sister-in-law!"
Xie Yanli, even if she's divorced, she married a young man from the provincial capital who was getting married for the first time! How wonderful!
Look at your second aunt's clothes now, aren't they nice!
They're all permanent employees now, right?
How wonderful life is!
And you?
What do you have?
And your sister-in-law, Xie Meili!
In the future, won't I still have to rely on you to pay for my job?
When that time comes, everyone in the Xie family will have a good life! Once you've lost your value, we can replace you without hesitation!
Find a decent local girl for Jianshe, so she can have children with him. What about you?
Silly girl, I'm doing this for your own good!
Zhou Ye was surprised to find that Miao Zhaodi was quite clever, and that what she said was rather touching!
I couldn't help but laugh out loud...
"Auntie, what you said makes a lot of sense! But who told you that I paid for my sister-in-law's job?"
However, this is all my business!
I have money, and I can spend it on whomever I want!
What do you think?
Or do you think my money should be spent on you?
Alright, I don't want to say anything else! That's all...
"It's time to settle the score!"
Miao Zhaodi panicked completely. Why was this little girl still refusing to listen to her?
I really did it for her own good!
I'm trying so hard to be nice, but she won't listen! It's infuriating!
"Oh my goodness! Why are you still so disobedient, you little brat... Ah... What are you doing?"
Ahhh...
What are you doing, little girl? I'm your elder!
Why did you hit me?!
Help!
Zhou didn't even shout; he just went straight up to them!
Each blow landed squarely on Miao Zhaodi's body... her back... her legs...
Oh, and he got slapped in the face too!
In the blink of an eye, several bloodstains appeared!
But it hurt Miao Zhaodi terribly!
They started shouting and yelling in the Xie family's courtyard!
"Ahhh... Murder! Help! My niece-in-law is trying to kill someone! Someone come quick!"
My life is so miserable!
He hit me because he was thinking of her!
They don't appreciate kindness!
"Help! Someone help!"
The neighbors were still enjoying the good food and drinks of the day when they were drawn by the screams!
this……
Isn't it in the village chief's yard?
Why does it sound like someone is being assaulted?
Hurry up and get there, we can't let the village chief's family suffer!
The village chief and the construction worker went to see the guests off!
Good grief...
How can there be such a wicked person, coming to someone's home on their wedding day to bully them?
Walk……
