Su Cuifen is Su Dajian's wife. Su Dajian died in a brawl in the Su family courtyard in Haicheng. The couple had no son, so in the Su family, she was the person at the very bottom of the food chain.
Now, Xia Tianyu has clearly taken her place.
Her initial desire to form an alliance with Xia Tianyu vanished instantly.
Su Cuifen's face darkened, and she slammed the half-finished dishes on the table: "Then you can clean it up yourself!"
Xia Tianyu still held onto hope for Sun Qiaomei, after all, the old lady's change of attitude had been too sudden. She tried her best to smile: "Grandma..."
Upon hearing the word "Grandma," Sun Qiaomei flew into a rage again, raising her hand to slap her: "You little slut! How dare you call me Grandma? Call me Old Lady!"
Summer Rain was terrified of being beaten. As soon as she saw her raise her hand, she quickly ducked and said, "Grandma! I don't know how to clean up the dishes! I've never done these things before."
"Hmph, do you still think you're some pampered city girl? Who the hell is born knowing how to do these things? If you don't know, then you'd better learn!" Sun Qiaomei said viciously. "Even if you're a stupid pig, I'll beat you until you learn all the chores in the house and on the land!"
Xia Tianyu was genuinely frightened by her fierce appearance, and her hand involuntarily reached for the dirty bowls and chopsticks on the table.
However, she had never done these jobs.
Three seconds later, with a "smash," she knocked a bowl over.
"You little whore! I told you to clean up the dishes, and you just waste things, huh?" Sun Qiaomei's eyes blazed with anger as she looked at the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground. She turned around, grabbed the broom handle she used to sweep the bed, and started whipping Xia Tianyu mercilessly!
The mournful sound of summer rain drifted over the Su family courtyard and echoed throughout the entire Su family village.
This beating, which was purely for venting anger, lasted for a full ten minutes.
Su Dazhi wanted to stop her, but after Sun Qiaomei's words, he also began to doubt the child in Xia Tianyu's belly. At this moment, he and Sun Qiaomei reached the same goal again—it would be best to get rid of the child, since she could get pregnant again!
When Sun Qiaomei finally stopped due to exhaustion, Xia Tianyu was covered in bruises.
Sun Qiaomei, panting heavily, glared at him: "Are you not going to clean up the dishes and chopsticks? Are you going to save them for the next meal? Do you think our Su family is a family with no manners like yours?"
Xia Tianyu had already been knocked to the ground, curled up, desperately protecting her stomach.
Hearing this, he had no choice but to force himself to get up and go clean up the dishes.
While washing the dishes, the wounds on her hands and arms caused her to tremble with pain.
From heaven to hell, the summer rain took only one day, less than 24 hours.
Seeing Xia Tianyu sobbing while washing the dishes, Su Yin strolled over to her side: "Ugly girl, stop crying! Watch me do a magic trick for you!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the foxtail grass in his hand into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. "See, it's gone!"
Summer Rain smiled through her tears—her Su Yin brother still cared for her, even though he was mentally challenged, he still knew how to make her laugh!
However, she soon stopped laughing.
Despite the excruciating pain, Xia Tianyu, under Sun Qiaomei's guidance, managed to wash the dishes, carefully avoiding breaking anything.
Throughout this process, Sun Qiaomei remained beside her, holding a broom handle and watching her intently.
Summer rain doesn't even dare to cry.
As Xia Tianyu put the last bowl into the cupboard, Sun Qiaomei yelled, "Aren't you going to get to work?!"
However, Xia Tianyu had no idea where to go to work.
She stood there blankly, looking helplessly at everyone in the yard.
Nobody paid any attention to her.
Su Cuifang stared at her with a malicious glee.
Sun Qiaomei spoke up again:
"The second son's family!"
Take her to the scorekeeper!
She told the scorekeeper that from now on, all her work points would be recorded under the Su family's name!
Just say she's our family's...eldest...granddaughter-in-law!
Let him handle the arrangements!
Tell the scorekeeper that this little whore is a lazy bum!
"Have him assign you tasks that you can't slack off on!"
Su Daxiao's wife, Wang Qingling, came over when she heard her being called. She glanced at Xia Tianyu and said, "Then come with me."
Xia Tianyu quickly followed her.
Wang Qingling led her along quickly, while Xia Tianyu had to jog behind her.
Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters, the two found the scorekeeper.
The scorekeeper was a high school graduate, and he was incredibly shrewd.
Is this girl the granddaughter-in-law of the eldest son's family in the Su family?
Why wasn't there a banquet?
Looking at Xia Tianyu, who was clearly pregnant, he hesitated, "What... what can she do?"
Xia Tianyu replied, "I don't know how; I've never done farm work in my life. But I can learn!"
Wang Qingling rolled her eyes at her: "My mother said that this girl is a lazybones, and that you should never assign her any easy tasks, otherwise she'll find somewhere to slack off!"
The scorekeeper looked the group up and down and asked Xia Tianyu, "Can you pick things up?"
Xia Tianyu was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
The scorekeeper glanced around the table.
He picked up an eraser and threw it on the ground: "Pick it up!"
Summer Rain picked it up in a daze and handed it to the scorekeeper.
The scorekeeper and Wang Qingling both laughed.
The scorekeeper looked at her with some disdain and said, "You know how to pick things up, don't you? Here, the soybean field has just been harvested, go pick up the soybeans."
Summer Rain nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll go pick the beans, I know how to do that."
She had no idea what picking soybeans in a field that had already been harvested would be like.
She, along with the elderly, women, and children, each took a row of land.
Holding the small basket and bending over for a long time, she soon felt like her back was about to break.
The fallen soybeans are all overripe pods that have burst open, making them difficult to find.
The scorekeeper's task for her was to collect three baskets in one morning, which would earn her three work points.
However, after picking for almost an hour, the bottom of the first basket was still not full.
There were some black insects with shells in the soybean field, unafraid of people, biting her fingers directly.
Summer Rain's biggest fear in life is insects.
However, she had barely let out her first scream when she was berated by the group leader, a burly woman: "Do you think you're still a pampered young lady from the city? You lowly, shameful thing, how dare you yell like that?"
Xia Tianyu covered her mouth tightly and removed the black worm's pincer-like mouth from her hand.
Soon after, a string of blisters appeared on her hands.
Looking at the others in her group, they were already seven or eight meters ahead of her.
She wiped away her tears and quickened her pace.
It started raining. After bending over for more than an hour, I couldn't stand the summer rain anymore. Ignoring the older woman's scolding, I dropped the basket and ran to the edge of the field to lie down, spreading my limbs out in a starfish shape!
