Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "Everyone come and see, my brother and sister-in-law are fighting...
Before leaving, the team leader asked the villagers who were watching the excitement to disperse and once again warned Wang Chunhua not to hit anyone.
"Mom, you heard it, it was the captain who said, I'll eat whatever is available at home." Jiang Qiuyue patted the dust off her trouser legs, and seeing Wang Chunhua raising her hand to hit her, she quickly shouted, "Captain!"
"What happened now?" Hu Haizhi turned around before he had gone far.
Wang Chunhua said first, "Nothing, Qiuyue wants to thank you."
"Don't be polite, I'm leaving first." As soon as Hu Haizhi turned around, Wang Chunhua immediately lost her temper, "Jiang Qiuyue, don't be so shameless, get out of here!"
She couldn't deal with Jiang Qiuyue in front of the captain, so she had to wait until the door was closed to see how arrogant Jiang Qiuyue would be.
As a result, Jiang Qiuyue stood at the door without moving, as if she didn't hear anything.
She is not a fool, she can see clearly Wang Chunhua's little thoughts.
"Jiang Qiuyue, didn't you hear me calling you?" Wang Chunhua lowered her voice and glanced around, afraid of being heard.
Jiang Qiuyue said she heard it, "But I won't go in. If I go in, you will definitely beat me. Mom, the captain said that if you beat me, I will go find him."
"I said you hit your head, didn't I?" Jiang Qiuyue usually didn't dare to talk to her like this. Wang Chunhua's heart trembled violently. Jiang Qiuyue's head did bleed a lot today. "You...you come in first, I won't hit you."
"That's what you said." Jiang Qiuyue followed into the yard and was about to go back to her room when she was stopped by Qian Li.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't cooked yet?" Qian Li's stomach was growling with hunger, and everyone else in the family was hungry too.
Jiang Qiuyue pushed Qian Li's hand away, "Doctor Jiang said, I need to rest, you guys can cook for yourselves."
Qian Li didn't want to cook. She hadn't cooked in four years since she married into the Lin family. She was used to other people doing the laundry and cooking, so she was very reluctant to do housework again.
Hearing her mother-in-law cursing in the room, Qian Li rolled her eyes and ran to complain.
"She's going crazy!" Wang Chunhua just sat down, put on her cloth shoes and knocked on Jiang Qiuyue's door. "Jiang Qiuyue, what do you want to do? You don't even cook. Why do we keep you in our family? Get out of here and open the door...ah!"
When Wang Chunhua knocked on the door, Jiang Qiuyue seized the opportunity and suddenly opened the door. Wang Chunhua fell flat on her face, and her front teeth hit the ground, and blood gushed out immediately.
"My God, why are you pushing Mom?" Jiang Qiuyue took the initiative and said, "Look, you pushed Mom like this?"
She reached out to help and was delighted to see that Wang Chunhua's front tooth was broken.
Qian Li shook her head vigorously. When she saw the man at home coming over, she was about to defend herself. She knocked on the door together but did not push her mother-in-law.
But Jiang Qiuyue guessed her thoughts, "Second brother, please take care of your sister-in-law. She actually dared to push mom. Oh my God, how can there be such a vicious daughter-in-law in the world?"
Wang Chunhua stood up, her mouth full of blood, her tongue felt like it was about to break, tears welled up in pain, "His father...wuwu..."
Lin Fugui was confused. "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Jiang Qiuyue answered the fastest, "As soon as I opened the door, I saw my second brother and his wife pushing Mom to the ground."
"You farted!" Qian Li raised her hand to hit someone, but heard Jiang Qiuyue shouting again.
"Everyone come and look, my sister-in-law is beating my mother-in-law!" Jiang Qiuyue had just finished shouting when her father-in-law immediately told her to shut up.
Lin Erzhu frowned. He knew Qian Li would not push his mother, but if his sister-in-law shouted, others might really misunderstand.
"Don't talk too much for now. My third brother and I will take mom to the sanitation center. Qianli, you go cook."
"I……"
"Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?"
Qian Li felt so wronged that she was about to cry, but she couldn't explain herself, so she ran into the kitchen angrily.
Jiang Qiuyue saw that it was getting lively and didn't mind the trouble. "I'll go too. You two grown men can't take care of me as well as I can."
Lin Erzhu subconsciously agreed, but immediately regretted it. The sister-in-law was different today. She was still the same person, but she was much more eloquent. "Forget it, sister-in-law. You are injured and need to rest. Sanzhu and I can go."
"Can you really do it?" Jiang Qiuyue was disappointed. If she went to the clinic, everyone in the village would definitely know that Wang Chunhua was pushed by Qian Li.
"It's okay, sister-in-law." Lin Erzhu gritted his teeth, and he and his brother each supported one side.
Wang Chunhua glared at Jiang Qiuyue fiercely. If it weren't for the pain that was cramping in her hands and making her unable to speak, she would have torn Jiang Qiuyue's face to pieces.
Watching Lin Erzhu and his group leave, Jiang Qiuyue touched her stomach. The quarrel made her hungry again.
Walking to the kitchen door, Qian Li instructed the original owner as she had done before, "Second sister-in-law, sweet potatoes need to be steamed to be sweet, don't be lazy and cook them all together. Call me when the meal is ready. Oh, my old waist can't stand the torture, I have to go lie down first."
Qian Li's teeth were almost broken from biting them. She had never been so angry before. After cooking the meal, she spat at Jiang Qiuyue and grabbed a handful of ash from the bottom of the pot to stir it.
"Bah, I told you to eat! Go eat shit!"
Listening to the noise outside, Jiang Qiuyue guessed that the meal was almost ready, so she took her two children to her parents-in-law's room.
Looking at the wild vegetable porridge that Qian Li handed over, Jiang Qiuyue exchanged it with Qian Li without thinking, "I can't eat that much. You've worked hard to cook, so you should eat more."
She didn't like eating wild vegetable porridge, it was tasteless without oil, it was too unpalatable. And when she just entered the room and saw Qian Li's lips curled up, she knew that Qian Li hadn't held back her fart.
Qian Li was stunned.
"Eat, second brother and sister-in-law. You cooked the meal yourself, don't waste it." Jiang Qiuyue turned to look at the two children and taught them, "It's shameful to waste food. You must eat it all."
With Grandpa and Second Auntie around, Lin Beibei and the other two didn't dare to say anything, but nodded very seriously.
"Look, sister-in-law, you must understand this truth even children can understand. Eat it quickly, or it will be harder to swallow when it gets cold." Jiang Qiuyue finished the wild vegetable porridge in a few gulps. It was so unpalatable that she didn't want to eat it anymore.
She remembered that tomorrow was the day her husband would send money. She was not the original owner, so she could not do such a stupid thing as suffering for herself to benefit others. After getting the money, she had to buy more food. The world was big, but eating well and sleeping well were the most important things.
Being stared at by several people, especially her father-in-law, Qian Li had no choice but to eat. She could only bite the bullet and drink the wild vegetable porridge mixed with the ashes from the pot.
She cursed Jiang Qiuyue a thousand times in her heart and wished that Jiang Qiuyue would die immediately, but on the surface she could do nothing and could only sulk.
Jiang Qiuyue saw that the two children had almost finished eating, so she grabbed a sweet potato and prepared to leave the table.
"The eldest daughter-in-law."
Lin Fugui suddenly asked, "What do you want now?"
He has lived for so many years, and there must be a reason why Jiang Qiuyue has changed.
Qian Li was watching the excitement from the side and thought Jiang Qiuyue was dead. Her father-in-law normally didn't curse at anyone, but when he opened his mouth, it showed that he was angry.
"Dad, why are you asking me that?" Jiang Qiuyue had already prepared herself. Wang Chunhua was a fool, but Lin Fugui was not so easy to fool. "I fell down today and it hurt so much that I thought I was going to die. Thinking about Beibei and Nannan losing their mother and being abused by their stepmother, I will try my best to survive."
When she spoke, the two children's eyes were already red. Lin Beibei pursed her lips tightly, while Lin Nannan could cry at any time.
"After waking up, I thought I couldn't work so hard anymore. Dazhu sent me living expenses every month so that we, mother and son, wouldn't have to suffer. I have to take good care of myself, otherwise who will take care of the two children?"
Lin Fugui looked at Jiang Qiuyue, trying to see something on her face, but he found nothing.
"Also, to be frank, I am really disappointed with my mother and my second brother."
Jiang Qiuyue raised her hand and pretended to wipe away tears. "A few days ago, I heard my mother and my second brother say that I was a slave of your Lin family. I should do all the housework and I deserved to be exhausted. My mother said that she never treated me as a daughter-in-law, and my second brother also said that Dazhu and I were outsiders and were not of the Lin family blood."
The original owner heard these words. She was indeed sad, but she felt that she had not done enough to satisfy Wang Chunhua and others, so she began to reflect on herself.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Fugui's face turned dark instantly.
He didn't expect that Jiang Qiuyue heard these words.
Jiang Qiuyue stood up with a sigh, very disappointed, "Dad, I know you are biased, but I have done so much work for the family. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard, right? How can you say that I am a slave of your Lin family? It makes me feel so uncomfortable!"
"You asked me today, and I told you the truth. From now on, I will not do housework anymore. I will only be responsible for taking care of Beibei and Nannan. I will not do anything for other people!"
Jiang Qiuyue smiled immediately after pulling the two children out of the door.
Lin Fugui in the room stared at Qian Li, "Did your mother-in-law really say that?"
Qian Li shrank her head and nodded, "Almost... that's about it."
"What a mess!"
Lin Fugui slammed the table and cursed, "Are you crazy?"
Slaves are a term used in the old society. They are really a bunch of idiots. With Jiang Qiuyue around, there is someone to do the housework, hand over living expenses every month, and also go to the fields to earn work points, which can save the family a lot of trouble.
He had already told me that I had to watch my mouth, otherwise I would never know when trouble would come from my mouth.
Lin Dabao burst into tears out of fear. Qian Li was also frightened. She hugged her son and whispered, "Dad, it's not our fault. We didn't know Jiang Qiuyue was outside the door."
She was very confused. Her mother-in-law had scolded Jiang Qiuyue many times, so why was Jiang Qiuyue angry this time?
"You stupid idiot with a brain full of mush, you don't even know if there's anyone at the door, get out!"
Lin Fugui lost his temper even towards his eldest grandson. A few years ago, there was a famine and people even starved to death in the village, but everyone in his family was fine. It was not because of his ability, but because of the merits of his eldest son, who sent money home every month.
What if Jiang Qiuyue wrote a letter to her eldest son expressing her dissatisfaction and he stopped sending money?
The more Lin Fugui thought about it, the more restless he became. Just when he was at his wit's end, his two sons and his wife came back.
Wang Chunhua broke her front teeth and took anti-inflammatory drugs at the clinic. When she got home, she immediately went to Jiang Qiuyue to ask for help. "Where is she? Get Jiang Qiuyue out here!"
"Shut up!" Lin Fugui was already angry at Wang Chunhua for talking nonsense, and seeing that she was about to make trouble again, he yelled at her.
Wang Chunhua was stunned for a moment. Usually when she taught her eldest daughter-in-law a lesson, the old man would not say a word, but today he was rude to her. She was stunned for a long time, then she started to yell, "You are so mean, Lin Fugui. You see me being bullied, but you don't help me and you want me to shut up?"
With a few "pa pa" hits, Wang Chunhua hit Lin Fugui without any care.
Lin Fugui pushed Wang Chunhua away and slapped her hard. "Do you know why the eldest brother's wife is making trouble? It's because you and the second brother talked nonsense. You even dared to say the word "slave". Aren't you afraid of death?"
After scolding Wang Chunhua, he went on to scold his son, "You too, can you be smarter? The money for your wife's wedding and the money for buying rice and noodles every month are all the living expenses paid by the eldest family. I tell you, please coax your eldest sister-in-law well. If she doesn't pay the living expenses tomorrow, you will have to pay for your third brother's wife's wedding in the future!"
"On what basis?" Lin Erzhu blurted out, then met his father's murderous eyes and swallowed the rest of the words.
He still couldn't stand up to his father.
After Lin Fugui left, Wang Chunhua realized that she had been beaten and sat on the ground, crying loudly.
Lin Erzhu was even more troubled when he saw his mother making a fuss, but he had no money to marry his third brother. Dad was right, we had to let the eldest sister-in-law continue to pay for his living expenses.
Lin Sanzhu looked at his mother and brother with resentment, not knowing what was going on. He hadn't even married yet, and his eldest sister-in-law didn't give him any money. How could his family have the money to pay for the bride price?
Jiang Qiuyue, who was lying in the room, pretended not to hear Wang Chunhua's crying. She was too tired and needed a good rest.
As for the living expenses that the Lin family is concerned about, don't even think about her paying a penny!
