Chapter 22

Mother-in-law

The next day was supposed to be the weekend. Normally, the work schedule at the oil field was 16:6, with work days and one day off on the weekend.

But Nie Bozhao couldn't take a break. He heard that there was another exchange of fire between the two sides in Cherekti, so he was rushed to the military training by the leaders.

Although northerners are generally tall and strong, the oil fields are still a place where people of various nationalities live together.

But Sister Wang said that even those Kazakh colleagues who were known for their strong bodies were not as physically fit as Nie Bozhao during military training.

So, although he is a scientist, he is also a commander in the temporary combat command in the oil field.

The temporary combat command exercise was conducted by fully armed soldiers with live ammunition. If they were real border guards, it would be a restricted area. The temporary combat command on the oil field was being conducted in the desert thirty miles away, so the family members wanted to go and watch the excitement, and the leaders would not intentionally refuse.

Sister Wang wanted to take Chen Lina with her to watch their combat training, but Chen Lina declined. She had not yet finished mending the cotton pants for Nie Weimin.

The child was so anxious that he kept rolling around on the kang, waiting to go out to play.

Early in the morning, he had hurriedly mended a large cotton jacket, but the thread was bitten. Nie Weimin wrapped the jacket around himself, cried out, and ran away.

Before leaving, he shouted, "Comrade Xiao Chen, thank you."

Through the glass window, Chen Lina saw four or five boys gathered at the door. Little Nie Weimin was as proud as a little peacock. He pointed at the cotton coat and said, "See? It's from my mom."

Well, calling her mom in front of outsiders?

The child turned around and saw Chen Lina looking at him through the glass window. He was so embarrassed that he bit his lip.

"That's the stepmother, right? My mother said, stepmother, stepmother, three days of enthusiasm, wait a few days, you will be in trouble." A tall man said. Chen Lina recognized the child, Liu Xiaohong's eldest brother Liu Xiaogang, a child of only seven or eight years old, and he also had no mother.

The children of the first batch of employees at the base are only six or seven years old. I heard that the primary school will only open this year. Children like Liu Xiaogang, apart from strolling around every day, run to Mulan Farm and hang out with the kids there. In short, this kid is a thorn in the side.

Little Nie Weimin probably blushed and snorted, "Go, go, go, I don't want to play with you." Then he pulled a few little boys who were about the same height as him over and said, "Come on, let's play together, okay?"

So the big wild dogs ran away, and the smaller ones stayed and played outside the yard gate.

After all, Chen Lina was new and had the three children to take care of, so she didn't dare let them run wild.

It was good enough for her to just let the children play outside in the yard and she felt at ease with them.

Outside, the sound of a tractor was heard slowly from far away. Upon hearing the sound, several children who were playing with Nie Weimin immediately ran away like the little birds.

"Dadan, Dadan, are you deaf? Let me ask you, who took my milk?" As soon as the tractor sound stopped, a sharp female voice came out.

Chen Lina was sitting by the window. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Erdan crying on the kang over there, "I don't want grandma. I don't want grandma."

While I was trying to coax the child, the people outside had already started arguing.

"Auntie Huang, you can't hit a child like that. What did the child do wrong? Why do you hit him?"

"He is my grandson, why can't I hit him?"

"Even if he is your grandson, he has not violated any of your laws, so you cannot hit him."

"I beat my grandson, it's none of your business."

Chen Lina didn't hold Sandan either. She let Erdan look after him and quickly walked out of the yard.

A middle-aged woman, no more than fifty years old, wearing a Mao suit with the buttons tied tightly. She had a head of bald hair, which was bald on top. The places that were not bald were combed very shiny and stuck to her temples.

This must be Comrade Sunmu Huang Huacai, who is feared by the entire base.

She slapped Nie Weimin directly on the face. Nie Weimin didn't cry out or talk back, but just let her slap him.

"What did I say? Your uncle eats three bowls of cheese a day. Cheese is his life. You actually secretly intercepted the milk. I want to ask you, what did your mother teach you? Tell me, what is your uncle to us?"

"Our lives." Nie Weimin held his mouth and actually responded with this sentence.

"That's right. I'm telling you, little bastard, if you dare to intercept my milk again, it will be the death of your uncle. If your uncle is dead, I will kill you first and then kill myself."

"I want to eat cheese, cheese is delicious, and the milk is from my family." Nie Weimin was so stubborn that he said this. Well, if he hadn't said this, Huang Huacai would have stopped. She hated people who were stubborn the most, so she didn't slap him, but kicked little Nie Weimin on the butt. The poor kid had just put on a new cotton shirt, and before he could show it to others, it was all wet and rubbed into the snow.

Chen Lina was so angry that she saw Nie Bozhao's axe for chopping firewood still in the yard. She picked it up and took advantage of Huang Huacai's inattention to chop him with the axe.

"Xiao Chen, I dare not."

"Murder! Murder! Murder!"

In fact, when she swung it out, it was the back of the axe. Of course, she also controlled the strength, so it didn't hit the grandson's back, it just brushed past it.

But this one move was enough to let the grandmother know that the arrogant are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate. The person she met was a desperate person.

"Why did you hit my son?"

"Your son, bah, he's the male transfer from my family, you still have the nerve to call him my son, I tell you, you slut, he's my eldest grandson, my son-in-law even promised my daughter that he wouldn't marry for 15 years, and you came and slept with him face to face, you're just a seductive slut."

Well, once she spoke, she realized that this woman's fighting ability was so high that even Chen Lina was astonished.

She helped Nie Weimin up and pushed him into the yard, then closed the gate. It was winter and it was the weekend, so both sides were filled with workers and their families who had gone out to watch the excitement. Chen Lina thought, if she had known there would be a commotion, she might as well have had it today.

"Your daughter died, and I married into this family. These three children are mine. You are a black-hearted old woman, a black-hearted old woman who sold her daughters. The three children don't even have clothes to wear, and you only know how to beat them. Bah, you even took the three children's support money. Look, you are wearing so shiny clothes, but my three sons are running around naked in the snow, and you still have the nerve to come to my house."

"My son-in-law is mine, my grandson-in-law is mine too, and the money was earned by my daughter's life. How I want to spend it is my business. It is none of your business, a slut." As the granddaughter-in-law spoke, she was still planning to rush in and hit him.

But Chen Lina was holding an axe in her hand, and the previous blow almost cut her to death, so she was still a little afraid and only dared to talk big for the time being.

"Well, I have to tell you, from the day your daughter died, you are no longer a member of this family. I am the mistress of this family now. If you dare to take another step forward, I will chop you to pieces."

"Bullshit, my son-in-law promised his boss that he wouldn't get married for 15 years, I don't believe he would get married to a bitch like you."

"Hey, it's raining and the man is getting married. He and I have signed the marriage certificate. The red book with gold stamping is framed and hung in the house. I am Nie Bozhao's family. No matter how angry you are, you have to accept this fact."

In fact, the two of them haven't gotten married yet, but Chen Lina can't give in at this time.

"I don't believe it. If you want to go in and take a look, and if you want to show me your marriage certificate, I will dare to go find the leader."

"This is my house, that's my marriage certificate, what's the relationship between you and me? I want to show it to you. If you rush in, I will accuse you of trespassing."

"Just break in if you want. This is my son-in-law's home. It's my home. I can come in whenever I want. Just open the door for me." The old lady said, shaking the handle of the tractor, as if she wanted to break down the door.

Chen Lina was not to be outdone, swinging a shiny axe in her hand. "Oh, after chopping wood for so long, my hands are a little soft. If she really hits someone, it will be her bad luck."

"If you dare to touch me, I will lie down immediately, and you will have to pay for my medical expenses."

This old lady's fighting ability is not as strong as that of young people if a real fight breaks out, but she can pretend to be dead. If she pretends to be dead, both Chen Lina and Nie Bozhao will be in trouble.

"Okay, come on. I just want to ask you if 5,000 yuan is enough. Is 5,000 yuan in pension for three children enough to compensate you? If I accidentally chop you, can I use the pension as compensation? Otherwise, you have to return the money to me today, Sun Gong's mother. For Sun Gong's sake, I will call you auntie and hand over the children's pension."

Chen Lina hasn't forgotten that the three children still have 5,000 yuan in the hands of this old woman.

She was a prostitute from Qingshui County, and Huang Huacai was a prostitute from Zhang County. When the two met, Sun's mother was so angry that she felt dizzy. "That's my son's pension, it's mine. Where did you come from, you bitch? How dare you covet this money?"

Chen Lina said loudly, "I am from Nie Gong's hometown. Nie Gong's parents came here because they couldn't stand Sun Gong's vicious mother bullying them. Not to mention the alimony, you have withheld our rice, noodles, and cooking oil. The three children have become skinny and pale from hunger. I tell you, I want all of it back. My mother-in-law has also said that if I really can't control myself, I will kill someone.

After she arrived, she explained the situation to the leaders of the base and took the blame for me, but no matter what, we must ensure that the three children are not hungry and have food to eat. "

If Nie's mother heard her daughter-in-law talking about her like this, she would probably be so angry that she would jump to the sky.

However, if we don’t bring Nie Mu out now, how can we deal with Huang Huacai, the old lady Yao?

"Even Nie Bozhao's mother can't control me."

"But she can control the workers. Why? You, the grandson worker, have a mother, but the workers don't have mothers?"

Sister Wang then said something fair, "Yes, after all, Sun Gong is dead. Old lady, grandson is your relative, but Xiao Chen is not. Besides, she came here on the orders of Nie Gong's mother. If you have anything to say, you should go to your leader, not argue with Xiao Chen. She has nothing to do with you."

What Daylily said is really nonsense. Whether it is for money or anything else, shouldn't he go to the leader?

The old lady suddenly remembered the most important thing: the thirty yuan a month in support.

"You pay me back my child support."

"I will take care of the three children, and the child support is mine."

"If you dare to steal my milk, my cotton, and my sugar again, I will not only fight you to the death, but also shut down your entire base."

Well, this proves that she intercepted not only milk, but also cotton and sugar. The welfare that the base purchased from the farm, which belonged to the Nie family, was all intercepted by her.

"I have to tell you, I'm not stealing. It's clear that when Sun Gong died, the pension was for the three children, so I want to take it back. The milk is for the three children, and the cotton is for them to make cotton quilts. As for the sugar, if you dare to steal my sugar, I will take an axe and kill your Sun Dabao tomorrow."

"You dare."

"Sun Dabao is your life, and Bai Tang is my life."

After looking at each other for a while, it was Chen Lina's fearlessness of a newborn ox that finally frightened her grandson's mother.

"If you dare to steal my milk again, I will put rat poison in your milk. If you dare to steal my cotton, I will burn down your cotton warehouse. I am an orphan from the mainland and I am not afraid of anything. People live for money and birds die for food. If you steal my food, you are stealing my life." Chen Lina waved an axe and said one sentence after another, scaring her grandson's mother to tremble.

"You, you wait for me..." Seeing that the grandson's mother was about to leave, of course, the crowd of onlookers spontaneously made way for her.

However, Chen Lina already knew that this was definitely a false alarm.

She has seen many adulterous women, how could she not know their methods?

Sure enough, she turned around with a cry and rushed towards Chen Lina. With a loud bang, she hit the iron door.

"Just wait, I'm going to the base to find your leader. I'm going to Wumayi to report to Secretary A, and I'm going to ask Secretary A to chase you, a bitch, away." The grandson's voice became louder and louder, and her feet kept jumping as if they were touched by high voltage electricity.

"Go if you have the guts?" Chen Lina said proudly, "I can't wait for you to go. Go quickly."

In the evening, Nie Weimin was sitting by the stove, looking depressed, waiting for his new cotton-padded clothes to dry. He was beaten by his grandmother, and Chen Tiantian saw it all. The child must have felt very embarrassed.

"What's the big deal? A new cotton-padded jacket should be washed before you wear it. Once it's dried, Mom will pat it and give it to you, and it will be a new cotton-padded jacket again, okay?"

From time to time, the wailing of grandson's mother could be heard outside, one moment she was blaming Nie Bozhao for his ruthlessness, the next moment she was crying about the miserable life of her eldest daughter.

I didn't know why she was crying, but her voice was so miserable in the wind and snow.
