Liu Guilan sneered: "What do you mean by that? You old geezer, do you think I don't know what kind of life Sun Hongying lived when she was a girl in your family? Everyone knows that your Sun family treats daughters like livestock. You have the nerve to come here and pretend to be a loving mother and daughter? Bah!"
Do you think I don't know what kind of wicked scheme you're plotting? This is because Sun Hongying finished the autumn harvest at your Sun family's house, and now that there's no work to do in the fields, you don't want to support an idle person anymore, so you want to send her back?
"You dare say I'm biased! Even if I were biased, I wouldn't steal food from my own daughters to fawn over my nephew's family! Your Sun family treats your daughters like money-losing goods, like livestock. Our Huo family is not like you! If you dare say my granddaughters are money-losing goods again, I'll tear your stinking mouths apart!"
She was overjoyed because today was the day the grain was distributed and tomorrow the third son was supposed to get his marriage certificate with Weiwei. But then this family surnamed Sun, who had no sense of propriety, dared to come to her door and rub salt in her wounds. They really gave them a hard time!
After Liu Guilan mentioned it, everyone looked at Sun Hongying. Seeing her dark, thin, and frail appearance, they all understood what was going on.
Aunt Zhou, who was very close to Liu Guilan, immediately stepped forward and said, "Hongying, what happened to you? It's only been a short time since I last saw you, but you look like you've suffered a great ordeal! People would think you've been forced to do hard labor in a coal mine."
Several of Huo's close neighbors also spoke up.
“Yes, Hongying, you weren’t like this when you were at the Huo family.”
"This is just like my husband going to dig a reservoir."
"I'm the first person who doesn't believe that the Huo family is tormenting their daughter-in-law because Sun Hongying gave birth to three girls. How many girls in our village can be raised as well as those three girls from the Huo family?"
"You wouldn't know this. My family lives nearby and I often hear Sun Hongying beating and scolding her children at home. It's the Huo family who dotes on their granddaughter. If it weren't for her always standing up for her, who knows how badly Sun Hongying would have treated her daughters!"
Upon hearing the man's words, Sun Hongying immediately retorted angrily, "They're just a few money-losing girls. They're lucky if they even have food to eat. They'll all get married sooner or later anyway. Do you expect me to support them?"
If they weren't all girls, making it difficult for her to speak with authority in the Huo family, would she have to go to such lengths to please her nephew?
In the future, won't she still have to rely on her nephew to support her?
"Shut up!" Huo Jiang was bad at talking, but he couldn't stand Sun Hongying treating her three daughters like they weren't human.
So what if she's a girl? She's still Huo Jiang's child!
Mother said that girls are all sweet little cotton-padded jackets, and if you raise them well, they will be just as filial to you in the future!
Upon hearing Huo Jiang's words, Sun Hongying was instantly enraged and lunged forward to scratch him.
"You, Huo Jiang, you cowardly traitor who always sides with outsiders, you useless coward who only knows how to take your anger out on your wife! I must have been blind to marry you!"
Caught off guard, Huo Jiang was scratched by Sun Hongying. He angrily shoved her away, shouting, "Sun Hongying, stop your tantrums! If you don't want to live together, then get a divorce!"
That way, this woman won't keep bringing all his things and his daughters' things back to her parents' house!
“You…” Sun Hongying never expected that Huo Jiang, who was usually so quiet and unyielding, would be so tough and even dare to mention divorce to her. She was completely at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
Upon hearing about the divorce, Sister-in-law Sun's eyes darted around a few times. She angrily shouted, "You heartless Huo Lao Er! You've got your hands on my sister-in-law now and don't want to make room for some slut, haven't you? No wonder I haven't seen her come to pick her up after she's been back at her parents' house for so many days, not even a word. So you've been having second thoughts all along!"
Upon hearing what her sister-in-law said, Sun's mother glared at her fiercely.
She originally planned to take advantage of the large number of people in Daqingshan Village receiving their grain today to cause trouble and force the Huo family to split up. Even if they couldn't split up, she would still try to squeeze some grain and money out of the Huo family.
But unexpectedly, this ruined their marriage plans.
Huo Jiang's face turned bright red with anger, and he could only manage to utter, "Stop talking nonsense! I didn't!"
Enraged, Liu Guilan grabbed Sun's sister-in-law by the hair and pulled her out of the group of Sun's family members. She slapped her hard across the face. "Who told you that my second son is disloyal? Point it out to me! If you can't tell me who it was today, I'll tear your mouth apart and then send you to the police station to file a defamation charge. Let the police teach you a lesson!"
Sister-in-law Sun was initially angry and wanted to fight back, but when she heard that Liu Guilan was going to send her to the police, she immediately became timid and obedient.
He's a coward at home, but when real trouble comes, he's a coward.
Sun's mother was also extremely flustered. She had always known that Liu Guilan was difficult to deal with, so she had never dared to go too far over the years.
But to her surprise, Liu Guilan was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined!
It seems that today's plan cannot be completed, and Sun's mother wants to withdraw.
So she smiled apologetically and said, "Mother-in-law, don't argue with a few ignorant juniors. I'm here today to bring Hongying back. What couple doesn't bicker sometimes? It'll be fine once you talk it out."
After saying that, she took Sun Hongying's hand and patted her hand, saying kindly, "Hongying, you and Huo Jiang should live a good life together. I'll go back now."
Sun Hongying nodded blankly.
"Wait!" Liu Guilan wasn't going to let Sun's mother and the others leave just like that!
Sun's mother chuckled dryly as she looked at Liu Guilan, "Is there anything else, my dear in-law?"
Liu Guilan shoved Sun Hongying toward the Sun family, saying, "Sun Hongying, you've been helping out at your parents' house for so many days. Go and get back the work points and grain you've earned. If you can't get them back, stay at your parents' house and don't come back!"
"What?!" Sister-in-law Sun immediately objected when she heard that Sun Hongying was to go home and share their grain. She shouted, "She's not even from our Sun Family Village. Where would she get work points to share grain?"
Sun Ersao hurriedly added, "That's right! Besides, she's been staying at her parents' house these past few days without eating or drinking. We've been feeding her for nothing, and we're already being kind by not asking you for any food!"
Liu Guilan sneered: "Are you raising her for nothing? Raising her for nothing and turning her into this? Who do you think we are fools!"
If we don't teach the Sun family a lesson today, they'll really think they're easy to bully!
Sun's mother said with a gloomy face, "My dear in-law, what you're saying makes no sense. Hongying is my daughter. What's wrong with her staying at her parents' house and helping out with some chores? Is it necessary to be so calculating?"
Liu Guilan said, "If you don't want to give them food, that's fine too. Just send them back in the same condition they were when they left, and make sure they're well taken care of before sending them back!"
