Chapter 45
Ye Sanxing returned home from working in the fields and found that the atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit weird today.
My quiet wife, who had been silent for two days, turned back into the street-swearing shrew she used to be, with a voice so loud that it could be heard throughout the whole street.
The table was like Chinese New Year, with old hens from the chicken coop, bacon, eggs, noodles made from white flour, and all the good things in the house on the table. The eldest daughter lowered her head and ate silently, while my wife and the younger daughter were discussing something excitedly.
"Oh, her father is back. Hurry up and wait for you."
Jin Fenglian hurriedly urged Ye Sanxing to sit down.
Ye Sanxing pulled open a stool and sat down, thinking that it was okay to eat it, at least it didn't end up in anyone else's stomach.
Then he asked Jin Fenglian, "Have you sent it to Mom?"
"I sent it, I sent it. As soon as the chicken came out of the pot, Xiulan sent a bowl to the boss. Who could forget your mother?" Jin Fenglian rolled her eyes. How could she not send it? If she didn't send it, Ye Sanxing, the filial son, would definitely quarrel with her.
"Well, Mom said this morning that we should adopt a child from one of Cui's relatives, or find a good one from our family and change the surname to Cui, and let Xiuhong and her husband raise him. What do you think?"
Jin Fenglian put down her chopsticks and started cursing, "Adoption is bullshit! Whoever raises a child with the Cui family and refuses to take care of him, our Xiuhong will divorce him. This bastard and his family are bullying my daughter. Today they have a good meal, but tomorrow I will tear that mother and daughter apart! Don't think I, Jin Fenglian, am a piece of dirt!"
As Jin Fenglian spoke, she slammed her chopsticks on the table, making loud banging sounds.
Ye Sanxing was confused. Why was there such an uproar at home when he came back from his trip? Did his daughter want a divorce?
How can this be possible? How will this woman live after the divorce? She will be laughed at. The Ye family cannot afford to let this person go.
"Jin Fenglian, are you crazy? How can a mother like you let her daughter get divorced? Stop your madness. This is absolutely not okay. You are rebelling against heaven. Xiuhong, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Dad and your grandma will find a solution for you."
Ye Xiuhong lowered her head even lower, holding the bowl and not daring to eat.
Seeing her daughter cowering, Jin Fenglian felt so distressed that she stood up with her hands on her hips and scolded Ye Sanxing, "Why is it so bad? Why should the Cui family abuse my daughter? They have abused her for years, and they still want to bully my daughter for the rest of her life? No way! I'm telling you, Ye Sanxing, this marriage is over, and if you don't agree, we can get a divorce too. I will accompany my daughter to embarrass her, and the four of us will go out and live alone. Think about it yourself!"
After saying that, she picked up the chicken bowl, asked the younger daughter to take the bacon and eggs, and pulled up the older daughter. The three of them went back to the house to eat, leaving a bowl of noodles for Ye Sanxing.
"You! Are you serious? Golden Phoenix Lotus, stop right there!"
No one paid any attention to him. Jin Fenglian took her daughter back to her room and locked the door, so that out of sight, out of mind.
After placing the dishes on the low table on the kang, Jin Xiu Lian turned around to look at her eldest daughter who was still in a daze.
She sighed and held her daughter's hands with both hands. "Xiuhong, Mom thinks we should just get a divorce. It's no big deal. Don't worry about those women in the village. We can just close the door and live our own lives. Come, have some chicken soup."
Ye Xiuhong's muddy mind was confused as she left the kitchen. Why did her mother suddenly ask her to divorce?
"Xiuhong, eat another egg yolk to replenish your energy."
Jin Fenglian fed Ye Xiuhong a boiled egg while she was in a daze. This was something Ye Xiuhong could not eat at the Cui family. Her mother-in-law only gave it to the little grandson in the family. She was not qualified to eat it because she had not given birth to a child.
Jin Fenglian was feeding her eldest daughter while instructing her younger daughter who was gnawing on chicken wings.
"Xiu Lan, tell your grandparents early tomorrow morning that if your uncle's family is willing to go to Old Cui's house together, then they can go. If they don't want to, we can go alone. Then go to the pig farm to call your brother back. Xiu Hong, you can rest at home and don't go to that dirty place. Tomorrow, the three of us will go and tear that old Cui apart." Jin Fenglian was now full of energy, and it would not be a problem for her to overthrow Old Cui's family.
Ye Xiuhong spat out the chicken bones, swishing the grease off her fingers as she said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll have my brother get a few more good guys from the pig farm, and we'll give that old witch Cui a good beating."
Ye Xiulan felt full of strength while eating bacon and drinking chicken soup. Dealing with an old woman was no problem at all. Jin Fenglian gave her little girl a satisfied look. Xiulan was smart, just like her.
"Mom, what about Dad?" Ye Xiulan saw that Ye Sanxing was against her sister's divorce tonight. What should she do if he continued to disagree?
"Who cares? If he doesn't agree, the four of us will live together. He can go wherever he wants." Jin Fenglian didn't care about Ye Sanxing's objection.
"Come on, Xiuhong, let's ignore your dad. His brain has always been not working well. Listen to mom. Drink the chicken soup and take care of yourself. Don't worry about this. Mom will take care of it for you tomorrow."
Jin Fenglian filled a large bowl of chicken soup for Ye Xiuhong and put the only chicken thigh in it. There was another chicken thigh that had just been given to Old Lady Ye.
When Ye Dajun got home from get off work, he saw a bowl of chicken soup on the table. It was so fragrant that the aroma wafted into the yard.
"Who sent this?" Old man Ye, who had just finished work, asked his eldest son.
Ye Dajun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to my third brother's place. We were not home just now. Look, the soup is still hot. The one sent by my fourth sister has already gone cold."
Ye Dajun sniffed to smell more of the fragrance.
The Ye family has always had a good relationship and helps each other. The three brothers and sisters have keys to each other's homes, making it convenient for them to visit each other.
"How can we make ends meet? This Jin Fenglian is a spendthrift. No wonder our daughter can't lay eggs. How can she be so greedy?" Zhao Zhaodi was almost jealous. She was reluctant to spend money every day and secretly saved money to support her brother, but her brother still had one meal a day and one day a day. It would be great if this chicken could be given to her brother to nourish his body and give the Zhao family a grandson. It was all ruined by Jin Fenglian.
Old Man Ye usually doesn't talk about his daughter-in-law, but today he couldn't help but say, "Old Master's, this chicken might have been killed by the second son's family to nourish Xiuhong. Old Ye's granddaughter can't even eat a chicken anymore."
Seeing her father-in-law was angry, Zhao Zhaodi shrank back in fear, but she still stubbornly muttered, "Other people replenish themselves by giving birth, but what kind of replenishment is this?"
Seeing that his parents were getting angry, Ye Lao Da quickly drove his annoying wife to the kitchen and said, "What are you standing there for so long? Go and cook. You're the only one who talks too much."
Zhao Zhaodi became obedient after being yelled at by her man. She put away her thoughts and went into the kitchen to light the fire and cook.
The next morning, Jin Fenglian got up early. She was in high spirits today. She put on an old jacket full of patches so that she could roll on the ground with Old Lady Cui. She tied her belt tightly several times and found a rubber band from the cloth frame to tie her hair.
Ye Sanxing got a headache just seeing her like this. How could she not be so crazy after a night? "No, are you really going to go? If you go and cause trouble, how will your daughter be able to live?"
Jin Fenglian wet her comb with water and combed her hair, not bothering to look at him. "What's the point of living together? It's just a life. I'll deal with those two today, and tomorrow I'll take Xiuhong to divorce Cui Erzhu. Our daughter will have nothing to do with his family anymore."
Ye Sanxing wanted to persuade him, "But my parents don't know about this yet. They won't agree to such a shameful thing."
Jin Fenglian had heard enough of his hindrance, so she opened the door and went out to get some peace and quiet. "Mom and Dad already know. I asked Xiulan to tell them this morning."
