Yang Chunyan glared at her in reproach. "What are you talking about? You don't even care about your own child, and you expect others to care about you?"
"Yan'er, you don't know!" Yang Xiaoxue sighed, "Last month was so busy. His mother knew that I was pregnant. When the old couple heard that there was no one to help their daughter in the city take care of the baby, they immediately packed up and went to the city to help her take care of the baby."
"Zhiqiang never said bad things about his mother and husband before, but this time he was really pissed off. As soon as his mother and husband got home, they questioned them, asking if his eldest brother and sister were their biological children. They even kicked and broke the water tank in the old house."
"His mother cried and made a scene in the courtyard, saying that he had forgotten his mother after marrying a wife, and that I had instigated her son to disobey them. How could there be such parents-in-law? Their son was busy renovating the house, but they were busy going to the city to help their daughter take care of the baby."
As she spoke, her eyes turned red. She looked up at the ceiling and forced back the tears.
Yang Chunyan felt sour when she saw this, so she patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "You are pregnant now, and being angry is not good for the child." Then she handed her a piece of peach cake and said, "Eat something sweet to feel better."
Yang Xiaoxue took a big bite and chewed hard, "Yes! Don't be angry. It's not worth it to get upset with such in-laws."
Yang Chunyan nodded, "Yes! Take good care of your body and give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby! The whole family will be together in peace and health."
"You little bitch!" Yang Xiaoxue glared at her in reproach. "You are talking so pretentiously now. It's not like your personality before you got married at all."
She thought Chunyan had really changed a lot. If it were the past, this girl would have started to scold. It seemed that her in-laws were good, her husband was considerate, and her life was comfortable. Her temper was not as impatient as before.
Yang Chunyan said with a smile: "After getting married, you are an adult. You are definitely not as free as a girl at home!"
Yang Xiaoxue nodded, "That's true. Getting along with parents-in-law and sisters-in-law is really different from getting along with your own mother, husband, brother and sister-in-law. Sometimes I wonder why women have to get married? Living alone doesn't have to deal with all those troubles!"
Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're saying this now, but I saw you were quite excited in those few days before you got married!"
"Bad girl!" Yang Xiaoxue smiled and pinched her cheek gently, "You're getting worse and worse."
Yang Chunyan looked at her innocently, "I didn't say anything, what's wrong with that?"
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore." Yang Xiaoxue stood up and said, "I feel better after telling you. I'm going back too."
Yang Chunyan pretended to be sad and looked at her, "You heartless girl, you just ignored me after you finished pouring out your grievances."
"Zhiqiang didn't bring his keys when he left this morning. It's already past ten o'clock, so he might be back." Yang Xiaoxue said with a smile, "I'll come and play with you next time!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some wild codonopsis and wild persimmons." Yang Chunyan said as she picked up some like a bamboo basket. "You can stew the codonopsis with pig's feet or bones."
Yang Xiaoxue picked up the wild codonopsis and said, "I want this. Your brother-in-law just brought back a basket of wild persimmons yesterday. You can keep it for yourself."
"Okay!" Yang Chunyan sent her out of the yard, "Come find me if you want to talk."
"Okay, you can go back!" Yang Xiaoxue walked away briskly.
Seeing her walking away, Yang Chunyan went home, picked out a few pieces of sugarcane, and gave two to Zhao Huifang and her family.
After coming out of Zhao Huifang's house, he stood on the roadside and looked at the main road at the entrance of the village. He didn't see Zhou Huaian, so he went to the vegetable field to weed.
…
On the other side, Zhou Huaian had already reached the bridgehead. He met Yang Xiaoxue and exchanged a few words with her. Then he turned around and saw Xu Erchun sifting sand in the river dam.
"I was fine, why did I catch a cold?" He wiped his nose and shouted to the river dam, "Brother Chun, when are you going to lay the foundation?"
Xu Erchun looked up, put down the pry barge and walked quickly to the bridge. "It will be opened the day after tomorrow morning. Are you free to help me pull two truckloads of gravel back?"
Zhou Huaian nodded readily, "I'll drive over to help you tomorrow!"
"Thank you!" Xu Erchun waved and walked towards the screen.
Zhou Huaian sniffed, pedaled his bike across the bridge, and his nose started running again. He stopped and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
Xu Hongbing, who was weeding in the field, saw him and walked to the side of the road in two or three steps. "Zhou Laoyao, the Viola yedoensis that I planted is growing well. When it grows well, I will dig it up and give it to your family to sell."
"Just send it to me!" Zhou Huaian looked at his rapeseed field, "Your rapeseed is growing well, isn't it?"
Xu Hongbing nodded happily, "Yes! This year's rapeseed seedlings are thick and growing well, but the grass is growing very fast!"
"You are really diligent. I haven't even visited my house yet!"
"You have your mother, husband and brothers to help you." Xu Hongbing turned his head and looked at the woman weeding in the field. "My mother and my wife are not in good health. I have to do it!"
"After the land was distributed to each household and the public grain was paid, the remaining grain belonged to them. If they didn't work, they would have none."
"That's what you said."
"You are busy, I'm going back." Zhou Huaian said as he got on his bike and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, youngest brother!" Xu Hongbing stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I heard from Xiong Laoer that you were blackmailing him and that he would not let you go. That bastard is a mean guy, you better be careful!"
"I understand!" Zhou Huaian patted his shoulder, "Thanks!"
Xu Hongbing scratched his head. "As long as you don't despise me and believe in me, that's all!"
"Big brother, you're talking about the second brother. I'm also a second-rate guy myself." Zhou Huaian said, and then asked, "Is the youngest Xiong coming back?"
Xu Hongbing looked gloating, "When I came to work, I saw Lao Xiong and Xiong Da pulling him back on a cart. His face was as white as paper and he looked listless."
"Thanks." Zhou Huaian wiped his nose, "I have a cold so I will go back first."
"Great!" Xu Hongbing waved his hand happily and walked towards the woman weeding in the field.
Zhou Huaian smiled and shook his head, then got on his bike and climbed up the slope with difficulty. When he reached the top of the slope, he saw Xiong Laoer riding his bicycle across the middle of the road, looking at him with a sneer.
"A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of my way."
Xiong Lao Er sneered, "You bastard, stop being so arrogant. You know what you did. Just give me 500 yuan and I will spare your life this time. I won't send you to work in the river to build a dam."
I heard that Zhou Laoya’s behavior is quite bad, at least for ten years!
"You bastard? Even if you are a bastard, there is no reason for you to ask me for 500 yuan!"
Zhou Huaian patted his head and said, "Oh my! I forgot, you are really my grandson in terms of seniority! Call me grandpa, and if I am happy, I will give you five yuan to buy some candy!"
“Fuck you!” Xiong Laoer suddenly turned the car around and rammed Zhou Huaian, “Fuck you…”
"Fuck~" Zhou Huaian didn't expect him to start a fight over a disagreement, so he quickly turned to the side, his bike swayed a few times, and he almost fell to the ground. He got off the bike and cursed, "Xiong Laoer, you bastard, I'm going to fuck your ancestors."
Xiong Laoer braked his bike, turned his head and looked at him viciously, "You bastard, last time you beat me up for more than thirty bucks and knocked out two of my teeth, and this time you're paying me two hundred and fifty again, and you're only paying two hundred and fifty!"
With a bang, he threw his bicycle to the ground and rushed forward, waving his fists. "You shameless bastard, I'll see how long you can keep going. I've wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time."
"Hurry up, a fight has started!" Xu Hongbing shouted and ran up the slope. The villagers working in the fields also gathered up the slope.
"Bang~" Zhou Huaian threw his bicycle away, rushed out like a cannonball, jumped up and kicked.
"Ah——" Xiong Lao Er cried out in pain, staggered back a few steps, sat down on the ground, and was unable to speak for a long time.
"You're a lowly thief! I'm going to teach you how to behave yourself right now." Zhou Huaian walked up to him, kicked him over, and then stepped forward to attack him fiercely.
He cursed, "You bastard, I haven't even had time to settle the score with you for stealing my trap, but you've come to my door. Do you think I'm that easy to bully?"
"You son of a bitch, you came to steal my things and you still think you are right? I charged you over thirty. If I were at home, I wouldn't care about over three hundred. I would put you in jail for two years!"
"I'm going to fight you~" Xiong Laoer reluctantly held onto his kicking leg and pulled it back. With a "thump", Zhou Huaian also fell to the ground.
Xiong Lao Er rushed forward and punched him in the face, "You bastard, when you get in, I'll take your woman..."
Zhou Huaian quickly turned his head, grabbed the front of his shirt, pulled it down hard, and slammed into him with his head raised, "Fuck you, my ancestor~"
"Ah——" Xiong Laoer felt stars in his eyes and subconsciously grabbed Zhou Huaian, and the two men wrestled with each other.
"Stop fighting Zhou Laoyao, Xiong Laoer..." Xu Hongbing, Li Guangming, and the villagers working in the fields surrounded them and pulled the two apart.
"Let me go!" Zhou Huaian wiped the blood from his nose and glared fiercely at the bruised and swollen Xiong Lao Er, "I'm going to kill this bastard!"
Li Guangming pulled him, "Zhou Laoyao, what's going on?"
"Bastard!" Zhou Huaian spat at Xiong Laoer, "I had just ridden up the hill when this bastard stopped me in the middle of the road and blackmailed me. He asked me to give him 500 yuan, but he wouldn't let me in..."
"The bastard rushed down on his bike and hit me. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have fallen off the edge with my bike."
Xiong Laoer was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He just stared at him fiercely, "Why are you hiding? Don't hide if you have the guts! You bastard, just wait until I send you to jail for a few years, and then see how you can still be so arrogant."
The onlookers all started talking after hearing this. "He really hit someone down with a bicycle! What if Zhou Laoyao fell off the slope? This is too much!"
"You heard him say that he would send Zhou Laoyao to prison for a few years. Does that mean he would be sent to the detention room?"
"Right, what did Zhou Laoyao do? How many years will he have to serve in prison?"
Zhou Huaian struggled to shake off Xu Hongbing and another villager who were pulling him hard, "Let me go, this bastard said he wants to send me to jail, I haven't broken any law, let's see how he's going to send me to jail?"
Xiong Lao Er sneered: "Don't play dumb in front of me. Do you think that idiot is so easy to take?"
He thought that by now, his old man might have already reported it. You bastard, you'll cry later. (End of this chapter)
