Sure enough, soon Old Lady Shi came cursing and leading a large group of people.
Old Mrs. Shi is also a capable person. She knows how to take advantage of the public opinion.
The noise came all the way from the village entrance, attracting all the people who were idle at home.
Old Mrs. Shi has been holding a grudge because Chu Xi hasn't given her the building materials she promised.
But in the end, he was frightened by Chu Xi, especially her ferocious eyes. So even though he came two or three times, he didn't find Chu Xi at home, so he didn't do anything.
This time I finally got the upper hand, so I had to make a big fuss and let everyone see what a miserable daughter-in-law I am.
Let’s see how she will live in the village in the future.
Seeing Chu Xi standing at the gate, she started right away.
"Why am I so miserable? This shameless bitch abuses my mother-in-law while my son is not at home..."
Old Lady Shi's voice was already sharp, and her verbal skills were first-rate. At this moment, she was yelling and cursing like she was crying at a funeral.
Chu Xi was helpless and just stood there watching her make a fuss. There were a lot of people around, but most of them were probably there to laugh at her.
"I just asked my daughter to borrow the bicycle. You don't use it every day, so what's wrong with lending it to me? What's wrong with me using my son's things? Isn't he my own son..."
Thinking about my life after the family split up brings tears to my eyes. There's less money, and I have to divide it up; the work is still the same, but there are fewer people doing it. The eldest and second sons' wives are not easy to deal with. Life is unbearable.
Shi Xiu stood there without saying a word, looking so pitiful that she attracted everyone's sympathy, as if she had been bullied.
"Your father and I are already quite old and still have to work in the fields every day to earn work points. But you, on the other hand, just take care of the children every day and do nothing. You live on my son's allowance every day. Are you worthy of my son? Are you worthy of me? Bitch!"
When Old Lady Shi said this, she glared at Chu Xi fiercely with a dark face, as if she would pounce on her and bite her if Chu Xi didn't agree to her this time.
But this is not borrowing, this is forcing.
Chu Xi was really annoyed when she saw the people around her looking at her laughing at her. The smile on her face froze for a moment, but she soon became as sweet as before. Anyway, the one who was being laughed at was the one who was making a scene. I was sitting here quietly and doing nothing.
"Old Third, tell me, are you going to lend it to me or not? If you don't lend it to me today, I won't leave. You unfilial son who ruins the family."
But then Chu Xi spoke.
"Mom, why should I borrow a bicycle? This bicycle is paid for with the money and tickets my parents sent me. And according to what you said, I won't have time to return this bicycle if I borrow it."
Chu Xi still spoke slowly, but the voice could be heard from far away.
"Because I am your mother-in-law, we are a family, and this is my son's home."
"You are my mother-in-law. Do you still remember how you treated me in the past? The days when I worked every day without food, and when I felt unwell, you would beat and scold me. Have you forgotten it? Weren't we a family back then? We are a family now, huh?"
Chu Xi said as he walked towards her.
Her eyes gradually became sharper. If she hadn't considered her man's thoughts and face, she would have wanted to slap him a few times.
"You are the daughter-in-law I married home. You must be filial to us. What's wrong with doing some work? What's wrong with teaching me a lesson?"
"But we are both daughters-in-law. How come the eldest and second sisters-in-law have never been hungry or beaten? They eat almost the same as you. Have you forgotten what you fed me and Little Stone? It was rotten rice and leftovers!"
Chu Xi became more and more angry as he spoke. Thinking back to the original owner's life, it was so miserable that he even felt a little sympathy for her, not to mention that she was tortured to death like this.
Old Mrs. Shi felt a little timid as she looked at the figure getting closer and closer and the eyes becoming more and more creepy.
"Don't bring up your son. The neighbors all know how you two treat him. He does the most work, eats the least, wears clothes no one else wears, and you still beat and scold him at every turn. Is this how we live as human beings?"
"Everyone knows how Shi Peng joined the army. He was forced to leave. Life in this family was boring. There was no fairness or family affection, so he had no choice but to leave..."
This caused a heated discussion among the people around. Many people didn't know anything about the family. They only knew that they had a capable son who sent back an allowance every month and took good care of the family.
