Tang Hehua was stunned and looked at Lin Mei as if she didn't recognize her.

Sanwang's dark eyes were full of excitement. Oh, Third Aunt is indeed a twin of Mother!

"You, you hit me!" Tang Hehua came to her senses and wanted to beat Lin Mei like crazy.

Why is Lin Mei afraid of fighting? She is just afraid that the other person won't fight back. There is no one she dares not fight!

She was already furious before, but she endured it for her mother's sake. She was just waiting for Lin Lan to bring the kids to her house, and she didn't even want to come.

Zheng Yaozu and Zheng Pozi persuaded her for a long time, saying that she had to come for the sake of her mother-in-law and Lin Lan. Only then did she take her husband and children back to her parents' home. Little did she know that before she even entered the door, she heard Tang Hehua scolding Erwang, Sanwang and several other children.

Erwang was the best son-in-law in her mind, but he dared to scold her. She could no longer bear to rush up and slap him to teach him a lesson. Who cares if she is a brother's sister or a relative, or if her family has seven or eight brothers who are all fierce?

Fight first and talk later!

Tang Hehua tried to tear Lin Mei's hair, but Lin Mei kept her hair short for work convenience, so she couldn't tear it at all. Instead, she had a small braid and was caught by Lin Mei.

Lin Mei grabbed Tang Hehua's hair with one hand, and held her head down with the strength she had gained from doing manual labor since she was a child. She slapped Tang Hehua with the other hand and cursed:

"You are such a heartless ungrateful person. How can you be so wicked? How have we wronged you?

"We have good things that we are reluctant to use or eat, but we send them to my mother's house. Isn't that a bargain for you? You eat and take them without a word of gratitude.

"Why do you turn hostile and act like a bad person when something doesn't go your way? Who are you blaming? You should go to your Tang family and ask them what your parents taught you!"

Mrs. Lin's two sons, Lai Xi and Lai Fu, were stunned. They were both relatively gentle and kind, and rarely got into arguments with others, let alone fights, so they didn't even think of trying to stop the fight.

The children of the elder and second sister Lin's families watched so much that they forgot to tell the adults. The children of Lin Lan's family did not join in the fight because they thought it was because of their elders, and they did not even bother to stop the fight.

Only a few nephews and nieces from Tang Hehua's mother's side were crying and rushing home to complain.

Some neighbors came over to ask what was going on. Why did a fight break out before they even entered my mother's house?

Soon, Old Lady Lin led all the daughters and wives out. Fearing that people from the outside village would laugh at them, she quickly had Tang Hehua and Lin Mei taken home.

When the second brother Lin in the east room heard that his wife said that she was beaten by Lin Mei, he was so anxious that he was about to rush downstairs.

Han Qingsong, who had been silent in the room, spoke up at this time, "What are you doing when women are fighting?"

Zheng Yaozu immediately agreed: "My brother-in-law is right. We men should not get involved in a fight between women. Are we going to join in the fight? A gentleman talks, not fights. He doesn't argue with women."

Second brother Lin said angrily: "Brother-in-law, your wife beat my wife, of course you are not ordinary people."

Zheng Yaozu: "No, you are wrong, my wife is also your sister. Are you going to hit your sister? She loves you the most."

Lin Erdi was immediately stumped, and in a moment of shame and anger, he blurted out, "You should love my sister, and you still rely on her for support."

Zheng Yaozu was not angry. It was a fact that he relied on his wife. He knew it very well. He married his wife for this reason. Who didn't know that?

He smiled and said, "Of course, your sister is our treasure. No one knows the benefits of being in such a family. But I say that you are not kind, brother-in-law. Aren't you also supported by your parents and elder brother? You talk as if you are so capable."

The second brother Lin's fair face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment. He had been spoiled since he was a child, and he was not good at studying and had no strength to work. Now that the family has not been divided, most of the work at home is done by Old Lin and Brother Lin. It is not unfair to say that he is a gigolo.

But he was just a spoiled little boy, he was gentle and polite in daily life, at most he was spoiled and selfish, he would say angry words, but he was not capable of bullying or fighting. Now that he was scolded by Zheng Yaozu, and he remembered that Tang Hehua's relatives from her mother's side reported the matter to her third sister, he also felt wronged, and his face turned purple and he couldn't say anything for a while.

Brother Lin and his two brothers-in-law hurried to smooth things over.

Especially, elder brother Lin knew that his sister-in-law's mother wanted to interfere with the weaving of the third sister. Before, his sister-in-law mentioned it to his parents several times, but his mother refused. Later, she instigated his father to talk to the third sister. After the third sister refused, his sister-in-law became gloomy all day long.

In addition, my sister-in-law was accusing my fourth sister of something else. Big Brother Lin had a pretty good guess about this. In the past, my fourth sister and my third sister would compete with each other and bring back everything they got to my mother. My mother didn't agree at first and asked her to take it back. In fact, everyone knew that she didn't have much, but she hated people saying that she was poor. When she got angry, she was always too hysterical and wanted to commit suicide. Everyone couldn't stand it and let her take things back.

At that time, my mother wanted to keep the things she brought back and return them to her when she needed them. Her original intention was good, but my sister-in-law took advantage of the fact that Fourth Aunt loved Xiao Xin the most and the things she brought back should be for Xiao Xin. She teamed up with the Second Brother to make trouble with my mother and acted like a spoiled child, and finally took all the things away.

To be honest, there is nothing good about it. But she can't stand her sister-in-law's habit of picking the best or taking it. Once Lin Lan realizes that she doesn't give it to her, she can't stand it!

Especially before the Chinese New Year, the fourth sister actually gave only the eldest sister-in-law a New Year gift, and it was quite generous, with meat and cloth, but did not give any to the younger sister-in-law. This made the younger sister-in-law very upset, and she complained about it at home that night. After that, she was unhappy during the Chinese New Year.

But Brother Lin also understood his wife. If it was the family's share, then it should be based on the population share, and no one should take advantage of others. His parents also supported this, and even preferred the first wife's food because she did more work.

As for what the sisters gave to mother, mother would distribute it. It was no big deal if she gave more to my sister-in-law, after all, it was more than she deserved. But as long as it was given to her by mother, my sister-in-law should not think of taking it away out of spite. She would never give in. She must not get used to that habit.

Brother Lin certainly supports his wife!

Loving and respecting one's daughter-in-law, especially the eldest daughter-in-law, is also the tradition of the Lin family.

The old Lin family values ​​sons over daughters and pampers the youngest son, but they also value the eldest son and respect the eldest son and his wife. When the eldest daughter-in-law comes, she basically becomes half of the family. On a daily basis, the old Lin and the eldest son have discussions. The eldest son is always invited to the brigade meetings, and if there is anything that requires the family to appear, the eldest son is also invited to show up. The spokespersons of this family in the brigade are Brother Lin, the man, and Sister Lin, the woman.

Therefore, even if the younger sister-in-law had opinions and made indirect accusations, she did not dare to challenge the eldest sister-in-law directly.

Brother Lin thought it must be about these two things. He said, "Brother-in-law is right. Women's affairs should be resolved by women. Why should we go up and help fight?"

After his eldest son said this, Old Lin had no choice but to continue sitting there.

Zheng Yaozu smiled, wishing his brother-in-law would go and fight. Director Han would definitely listen to his wife and help his wife. Then the time would come for those domineering brothers of the old Tang family to come and try and see if they were good enough to fight.

Zheng Yaozu became excited just thinking about it, and looked at Han Qingsong with fiery eyes.

Han Qingsong: “…”

Second brother Lin looked at his wife through the window and his face was swollen! Tang Hehua was the youngest daughter in the family, and was even more spoiled than him. She had more than ten brothers, uncles, and cousins, and no one dared to bully her since she was a child. Now, she was beaten into a pig head by her third sister. When the brothers of the old Tang family come to fight, let's see who can take the fight.

He glared at Zheng Yaozu angrily: Don't run away when the time comes! You gigolo!

Zheng Yaozu immediately understood the contemptuous look of his brother-in-law. Wasn't he just scolding him for being a gigolo? He really couldn't stand the way his second brother Lin and his wife acted. They were also gigolos who depended on their parents, but they always looked down on him who depended on his wife. Who was more noble than who?

The key is to eat your wife yourself, the wife is the sky of the family. But Lin's second brother and his wife rely on their parents-in-law and the eldest brother's family, but they still think of themselves as treasures and others as grass.

Is this possible?

There was also the matter of the Tang family relatives reporting Lin Mei's business. Although it was completely useless, it hurt Lin Mei a lot. She held it in for several days and only felt better after talking to Lin Lan. In the end, she endured it for her mother's sake.

Zheng Yaozu felt that Second Brother Lin was really dishonest. You must know about your wife's affairs, but you don't care about her and you are still acting like a big shot in front of me. What do you want to do if you want to beat my wife? Although my wife is not as pretty as my sister-in-law, it's possible.

He turned his head to look at Han Qingsong again, his eyes were full of passion, "Brother-in-law, if there is a fight later, it will be up to you!"

Han Qingsong: “…”

Although he didn't talk much, no one in the room could ignore him. His powerful aura made the old men who used to speak rudely and foul language become polite.

Anyway, if he had been wronged like this, Second Brother Lin would definitely not be able to bear it and would definitely have acted like a spoiled child. Now he could only look extremely wronged, wiping away his tears while looking out the window at Tang Hehua outside, but he didn't dare to shed a tear.

…

Old Mrs. Lin and others had already pulled Lin Mei and Tang Hehua into the yard.

Lin Lan and Lin Mei were together with their own children, Tang Hehua was together with her mother's children, and the eldest sister Lin and the second sister Lin Dasao were assigned in the middle to be responsible for persuasion.

Tang Hehua cried hard, "I can't live like this anymore! Lin Leshui, where have you been? Your wife is about to be beaten to death by your sister! You sisters teamed up to bully me because there is no one at my mother's house. You just wait for me! I want to go back to my mother's house! Don't run away! Wait for me to find someone!"

It was like a kid who went home to find an adult after losing a fight.

Lin's elder and second sisters quickly advised her not to say sad words during the New Year's Day. "It's common for children to quarrel and fight. Why should we adults get involved? Going back to your parents' home for such a small matter would make you a laughing stock."

They also knew that when their younger brother's wife had just gotten married, whenever the couple had a quarrel, she would go back to her parents' home to ask her father and brother for support. The younger brother would then rush to his father-in-law's home to be trained and bring his wife back.

After a long time, my second brother was controlled by her, and his ears became softer and softer. As long as she said she was going back to her parents' home to look for someone, he would immediately kneel down. But in fact, it's not that you don't want to live, nor do you want a divorce. It's so weak for you to keep saying this.

Mrs. Lin knew Tang Hehua better and usually tried not to get involved with her, and now she stayed even further away from her.

Old Mrs. Lin naturally didn't want to make a big fuss. In this case, the best thing to do was to keep things quiet so as to avoid being laughed at and damaging the harmony of the family.

She punched the three ladies. This was her habit. When her son and daughter-in-law quarreled, she scolded her son. When the ladies and daughters-in-law made a fuss, she scolded the ladies. After all, the ladies did not bear grudges against her, so it was okay to talk to them in private later.

The daughter-in-law is not good. If she looks at her in a wrong way, her mother-in-law will roll her eyes. If it is more obvious, she will go back to her parents' home and cry about being bullied. Even if the in-laws will not really come to the door to beat her up, it is not a good look.

Lin Mei shouted, "Mom, why are you hitting me? Do you know who is right and who is wrong? Why are you hitting me?"

Mrs. Lin was embarrassed to be bumped by her daughter in public, so she pretended to be angry and said, "Who is right and who is wrong? It's wrong for you to hit someone."

Lin Mei: "Why didn't you say she deserved a beating?"

Lin Mei and Lin Lan certainly understood the old lady's psychology.

The Lin family has a tradition of favoring boys over girls, which has been passed down from their ancestors. They have instilled in their children the idea that a married girl is like spilled water. A woman should serve her parents-in-law well and be friendly to her sisters-in-law. She should not think of going back to her parents' home to cry and complain, as there is no one to support her. A married woman who goes back to her parents' home to cry and complain all day long, looking for someone to support her, is not a good girl, let alone a good daughter-in-law!

They also understand that this is to educate their daughters and brainwash their wives.

These were all passed down from their grandmother. The old lady was very powerful. If a girl had a conflict with her mother-in-law or sisters-in-law at her husband's house, she would not only not support her but also beat her with a stick. She beat Lin Mei and Lin Lan's aunts so much that they didn't want to go back to their parents' home.

Although their grandmother did not have a daughter who was filial to her, her sons and daughters-in-law were quite filial to her. So even though she was partial to boys over girls and had no mercy on them, she still lived a comfortable and healthy life in her later years.

Fortunately, although Old Lin was taught and practiced what he taught, Old Mrs. Lin was not that abnormal, and Big Brother Lin had always taken good care of his sisters since they were young and did not look down on them.

For example, when the original owner tried to commit suicide for the first time after getting married, Old Lin brought Big Brother Lin to go there and talk to the in-laws. Why did the young lady suffer when her aunt was not at home and why did they mistreat us?

It turned out that she was just pretending to commit suicide to control others. When she was young and had a serious quarrel with her older sister and brother at home, she would also throw a tantrum and say things like "I'm going to jump into the river, you will be happy only if I die, I will die in front of you one day" and so on.

The father and son felt guilty, and were strongly pressured by Mrs. Han and others. The old man was very concerned about his reputation, so he was ashamed and angry and refused to go to the fourth lady's house again. Later, the original owner threatened to commit suicide again, and he did not step forward and did not allow his son and his wife to go. If anyone went, he would beat them, and finally said hateful words that he would die easily.

After Lin Mei got married, Old Lin made it clear that she was the one who chose the family, and the man should not do anything wrong, and if he was wronged in the future, he should not say things like he didn't want to support the man or regret it.

These daughters all understood that they had been successfully brainwashed, and none of them ever returned to their parents' home to ask for support.

But the truth is so funny, whatever you fear will come true.

Old Lintou was afraid that his daughter would go back to her parents' home to ask for support and make a fuss, but he chose a young daughter-in-law who could make a fuss. In the first year of marriage, every once in a while, I would cry with my second brother Lin and go back to my parents' house to find someone to support me. Tang Hehua took care of her man first, but her family had to compromise to make ends meet. After doing this for a long time, the whole family developed a habit of following her in everything.

Lin Mei understood all this, and she had endured it in the past, but today she didn't want to endure it.

She tolerated Tang Hehua's family reporting her, but she couldn't tolerate Tang Hehua scolding Lin Lan's child. No matter what she said before, it was all behind her back, but today she scolded Lin Lan in public, which was a direct confrontation. If she tolerated it, she would scold even more.

Do you really think she is the Empress Dowager Buddha?

Lin Mei has few children of her own, so she doesn't know how much she cares about Lin Lan's children. She can't pull her eyes away from the children. These are such a good group of children, why are there still people scolding them so harshly?

Xiao Xin was hiding over there beating up Hao Nan because Lin Mei beat up his mother. "Your mother beat up my mother, so I'm going to beat you up!"

Haonan used to throw tantrums and cry when he encountered problems, but now Sanwang has taught him to just do it when he encounters problems. Why are you crying? If you cry, people will beat you up. So he stopped crying and imitated Sanwang, bending his legs and lowering his waist, and in one go, he knocked Xiaoxin, who was one year older, to the ground.

Shin-chan fell and let out a cry.

This time, Xiaoxin's uncle's brothers and sisters refused to give in and rushed over to beat Haonan and Qiaoqiao. Sanwang and Erwang went to help, but were knocked to the ground in an instant.

Seeing her son being beaten by Haonan and her nephew being beaten by Sanwang and Erwang, Tang Hehua became even more unwilling to give in. "I can't live like this anymore. This is bullying! Let's go! You guys wait for me, no one can run away!" She went back and called all her brothers, uncles, and cousins. If she didn't beat Lin Mei and Lin Lan to their knees and beg for mercy today, she would not be named Tang.

Da Wang, who had not taken any action, said, "There are five of you against three. You are all older than my brother. How can I bully you?"

After he said this, Mrs. Lin, who had originally wanted to persuade Lin Mei to give in to Tang Hehua, suddenly became speechless.

Elder sister Lin and second sister Lin did not try to persuade them now. They just watched the commotion while holding back their laughter. Go ahead and make a commotion. It would be better if you could call all your brothers from your mother's side so that we can see how unreasonable they are. They would go to their in-laws' house to make trouble whenever there was something trivial.

Although Mrs. Lin didn't say anything, her attitude of standing idly by was clear.

This is clearly saying: Tang Hehua, we have tolerated you for a long time, now you should know that there are people in this world you can't afford to offend!

Sister Lin was not afraid of her making trouble. Tang Hehua's trouble was mostly caused by Second Brother Lin and her parents-in-law who wanted to keep things quiet and think it was better to have less trouble than more. Although the Tang family had a reputation as a bully in the market, they had never come to her house to make trouble. Usually Second Brother Lin would chase her to her father-in-law's house. There were two other times when he was angry with Tang Hehua and refused to go to pick her up, so people asked him to pick up their daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, the men in the old Tang family all look fierce. As soon as he arrived at the door, Lin Erdi knelt down. Tang Hehua even used this as a weapon to scare him and control his parents-in-law again and again.

After a while, isn't this a habit that you develop?

Mrs. Lin was very dissatisfied with her parents-in-law's behavior. She was eager to make a scene to teach Tang Hehua a lesson, so that she would know that there were people she could not afford to offend and could live a more stable life in the future.

Everyone present had their own ideas and judgments, except Tang Hehua!

From childhood to adulthood, her father only took care of boys, and the girls were raised by the old lady. And Mrs. Tang was a typical ignorant woman who only wanted to control her son but couldn't, so she turned to control her daughter-in-law and instigated her daughter-in-law. If she felt that she was wronged, she would cry! The louder she cried, the more she was wronged, and her father and brother would protect her.

So, at this moment Tang Hehua cried very hard, and her voice became hoarse.

Second brother Lin in the east room was heartbroken after hearing this, but unfortunately he couldn't move his legs even though they were filled with lead in front of everyone. The key point was that he was also stupid. When everyone entered the room, he climbed onto the kang first to take a good position, leaving his brothers-in-law to stand or sit on the floor.

Han Qingsong, who should have been invited to sleep on the kang, was standing at the door. With him standing there, who would dare to push him out of the way?

He gave Old Lintou a look of grievance and said, "Dad, please take care of it. My sisters are too bullying. They teamed up to bully He Hua alone."

Old Lin was not only partial to his youngest son and favored his daughter-in-law. Think about it, his father-in-law, Old Tang, who had a ferocious look since he was young, and even more ferocious when he got old. And his four or five brothers, and seven or eight uncles, always fought in groups at the market.

Old Lin felt weak in the ass just thinking about it.

If it were in the past, Old Lin would have definitely glared and raised his eyebrows, and would have directly called on his eldest son and several sons-in-law to mediate the fight, and then would have scolded the young lady and comforted his younger daughter-in-law.

But today is different.

Han Qingsong is here today!

He was standing there, taller than the door. He looked to be at least 1.88 meters tall if not 1.9 meters. He looked intimidating in his military uniform. Even his father-in-law didn't have the courage to yell at him.

Besides, he was the director of the Public Security Bureau. Although Lin Lan joked that he was just a director of public security, for the old farmers in the countryside, the director of public security was also a big official! What's more, he was the director of the public security bureau of the commune? People fear officials. This is an instinct deeply rooted in the bones of farmers since ancient times.

So even though Old Lin was really anxious and wanted to go down and yell at the young lady not to go back to her parents' home and cause trouble for the Tang family, he did not move at this moment.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zheng Yaozu started talking to his elder and second brother-in-law as if nothing had happened, and soon they were all chatting and laughing again.

…

Tang Hehua was looking for her husband and father-in-law to support her, but she found that the men were still chatting in the room and no one came out to help. She became more and more angry and cried to her nephews and nieces to pack up their things. She wanted to go back to her parents' home with them.

Old Mrs. Lin was extremely anxious. She winked at her daughters-in-law, asking them to quickly persuade them that a harmonious family is the key to success. Fighting may bring temporary pleasure, but won’t the family have to face the trouble again?

Lin Lan pretended not to see it. She didn't care. People who have such bad habits deserve to be punished. Han Qingsong's brother was punished, so his own brother shouldn't get used to it. If he wants to go back to his mother's house, he can go back. It's better to correct their bad habits today and stop making trouble every day. Unless they don't have any contact with each other for the rest of their lives, it's annoying to do this every time.

Lin Mei also sarcastically said, "Mom, you are really funny. You told us, as daughters-in-law, to serve our parents-in-law well, get along well with our sisters-in-law, not to quarrel or fight, and say that our parents' family doesn't support us. Why does this daughter-in-law make trouble all the time and go back to her parents' family to find someone to support her when she has something to do? You don't say anything. I also understand that you need a brother to support you. We only have one brother, so we naturally don't want to give him up. This brother was obviously born for his old Tang family, so why is he still living in the old Lin family? It would be great if he could go to their old Tang family. He would be so filial to them."

"Please stop talking." The old lady was so anxious that she was about to cry. The neighbors were laughing at the noise and could not even raise their heads when they went out.

Seeing how anxious and angry her mother was, Lin Mei finally decided not to confront her sister-in-law about the report.

Lin Lan said to Old Lady Lin, "Mother, we have to live in harmony with each other. If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a yard. If someone is always trying to scheme against others and cause trouble, we can't live like that." She was talking about the matter where Tang Hehua's relatives from her mother's side reported her third sister.

Tang Hehua was furious. She wiped her tears and accused Lin Lan: "It's you, the elder and younger sisters-in-law, who are here to stir up trouble and cause trouble for the family!"

Lin Lan: "Come on, tell me how I offended you."

"Why do you give things to others but not to me? Are you not giving it to me on purpose?"

Mrs. Lin immediately said, "You misunderstood. You were not at home that day. Your fourth sister gave you the share and asked me to pass it on."

Tang Hehua didn't believe it. In the past, Lin Lan always gave it to the old lady, never to others. If she gave it to her mother-in-law, then the good things would be hers. If Lin Lan wanted to give it to her sister-in-law, she should give it to herself, so that she would have two! Why was she so stingy as to not give it to herself?

She didn't think that Lin Lan gave it to her sister-in-law because she was usually nice to Lin Lan. She just thought that Lin Lan was getting more and more stingy with her and her son! She should have gotten two portions, but now she only got one, which was a big loss.

But she didn't dare to challenge Mrs. Lin, so she wanted to show Lin Lan her face. She questioned Lin Lan like this just to see how Lin Lan would defend herself!

Lin Lan said calmly: "Yes, I just won't give it to you."

Aren't you avoiding me? Aren't you too lazy to give me a perfunctory response? Why should I give you something?

I don't owe you anything.

I deliberately didn't give it to you. You must have felt something was wrong after two days. You must have been feeling depressed these days and you didn't have a peaceful New Year.

You took the initiative to stay and wait for me today, and you are trying hard to make trouble with me, right?

Humph, I'll make you angry to death!

The author has something to say:

Lin Mei: My sister used to always fight with me, but now she finally knows how to fight with me. The wish that I had secretly cherished for many years has finally come true. Well, I feel good now.

Sanwang [rubbing his hands excitedly]: Aunt San, her family went to file a complaint and ask for help. There will be a tough battle to fight next!
