Looking at the people sitting at the door of the main house, Chu Xi was speechless. He didn't know how long they had been sitting there. Didn't their butts hurt? Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in the quilt?
But today no one was so tactless as to leave the dishes for her to wash, which was not bad.
I walked silently towards my room, ready to listen to some dog barking first.
really……
"Third sister-in-law, you've been out for a whole day. Where have you been? As a woman, I must be careful about the impact..."
The sister-in-law spoke sourly.
"I've been working in the fields all day, and now I have to work again when I get home. My third sister-in-law is so much better off. She doesn't have to work in the fields or at home."
My second sister-in-law is no less impressive.
"Silly Ni, oh, from the Third Brother's family, you disappeared so early this morning. I was planning to ask you to come to work with me, but now you're gone. We can't just eat for free every day, right?"
Old Mrs. Shi has forgotten the pain after her wound healed and is causing trouble again.
Chu Xi walked straight towards that station just like last night, without saying a word, just looking at them coldly until Old Man Shi couldn't help coughing a few times.
"Third daughter-in-law, if you go out next time, tell your family in advance, otherwise no one will know where you are going. Little Stone is still so young."
"Is the allowance my husband sends back every month enough for the two of us to eat? No, just give us half. We won't take advantage of you..."
"Putting everything else aside, have you left any food for me and the kids these past two days? You even gave me a wild rabbit yesterday."
"How do I usually work and eat?"
"Is there anything in this house where Little Stone and I don't have enough to eat? You keep talking about it every day. Can't I have something to do?"
"If you have the ability, don't talk nonsense. My husband sends me his salary every month, and I even shot a rabbit yesterday!"
"You live and eat in this house, so what's wrong with taking a rabbit? You used to eat a lot of them."
But Old Mrs. Shi didn't pay attention and was still talking to herself. She couldn't understand the situation and couldn't find the key point.
"I used to eat, but I also worked. I'm strong, and I earn as many work points as men every day, right?
What did my child and I eat every day? We got up early and went to bed late to do the most tiring work, and ate only watery soup and the worst food. A two-year-old child was starving to death. We lived worse than the piglets in the village. At least the pigs had people to take care of them at home.
My little Shitou has only been bullied by his cousins at home, and no one has ever taken charge. Are you worthy of my man? And the allowance he sends back every month, this is his adopted child..."
The more Chu Xi spoke, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.
Completely unaware that the old man Shi opposite had turned black in the face, he opened his mouth and then closed it again. Old Mrs. Shi was no pushover. The allowance sent by the third son was hers, and no one could covet it.
"My son should send his allowance back to support us. Why would he support a wild kid who was born but not raised by his mother? We've already done him a great favor by not starving him to death..."
Chu Xi: "..."
I'm speechless. You're both right! Talking at cross purposes is illogical.
Forget it, let's separate as soon as possible. Anyway, I can support myself and move out with my children. I can do whatever I want and eat whatever I want. There will be no one sitting there to reap the benefits and nagging me all the time.
It seems I have to write a letter to that so-called husband to talk to him. I don’t know if that man is reliable.
Finally, I couldn't help but continue:
"I am your daughter-in-law and a member of the family. I live a life worse than pigs and dogs. Can't you see that I am covered in scars? Am I blind to them?
How could you bear to watch such a young child being bullied and lying on the ground unable to move? After all, he is your grandson, and he will be filial to you in the future..."
As she was talking, Chu Xi thought of herself in her previous life, who was so helpless at such a young age. She couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Since you have been so disregarding towards us mother and daughter, I have done my best for you by working like a slave.
I was forced to marry into this family because I saved your son, but I’m not here to be abused…”
"I want to split up! I want to live on my own with Little Stone..."
Everyone looked at her in shock. You know, the traditional thinking of the older generation is "As long as parents are alive, the family should not be divided." What was this silly girl thinking? Was she trying to poke the spines of these old couple?
More importantly, if she divides it out, will the third child's allowance still be handed over? Will she only be able to keep half? Or even less... It's terrifying to think about it.
"No!" Old Man Shi and Old Lady Shi were startled at the same time and said in unison.
If the family property is divided, there will be one less strong laborer to do the work, and one less person to serve them like a slave.
How can I not give the work points I earn to my family?
It turns out that this silly girl was submissive. Although she was a little stupid, she was obedient.
When did you become so eloquent and articulate?
"What right do you, a woman, have to ask for a division of the family? It's not your turn to make the decisions in this family. If you keep on messing around like this, I'll have the third brother come back and divorce you!"
Old Mrs. Shi started her unreasonable behavior again.
"There's no place for my mother and me in this house. We eat leftovers, live in a woodshed, wear rags, and do the heaviest and dirtiest work. We're not living a human life..."
Chu Xi can also act, but she is not her original self.
In this era where "filial piety is paramount, and filial piety is paramount," rumors can crush you! Spreading the word of being unfilial can make you lose face in the surrounding area, affecting not only yourself but also future generations.
