When she saw clearly that it was Zeng Wenjuan who was beating her eldest grandson, Ms. Deng walked over, stretched out her hand, and wanted to strangle Zeng Wenjuan.
Zeng Wenjuan quickly dodged and hit Dabao on the butt again. Dabao saw that Deng had returned and knew that his savior had arrived, so he cried even louder.
"Wow wow wow wow... Grandma, help me, help me, beat this bitch to death and let her never dare to bully me again." Dabao was not afraid of Zeng Wenjuan at all.
Ms. Deng picked up the broom and hit Zeng Wenjuan: "You jinx, how dare you hit my grandson? Put it down immediately, or I will beat you to death."
"Goudan, hide behind your mother." Zeng Wenjuan was afraid that her son would be beaten by Deng, so she said to him. When she saw Goudan hiding behind her, she slapped Dabao on the butt a few times.
"Grandma... help! This crazy woman is going to beat me to death. Save me!" Dabao shouted while staring at his legs.
Ms. Deng yelled at Zeng Wenjuan, "I'm talking to you! How dare you hit my precious grandson? Are you tired of living?"
"Just beat him. As his aunt, I teach my nephew a lesson. What else can others say?" Zeng Wenjuan straightened her back. A kind-hearted person is often bullied, and a kind-hearted horse is often ridden.
Zhou Li, who heard the noise at home, also came home. She originally thought that it was her mother-in-law beating Zeng Wenjuan, but after a closer look, she realized that it was Zeng Wenjuan beating her son. She was about to pounce on him.
"If you dare to hit my son, I will fight you."
Zeng Wenjuan was not afraid at all, she held Dabao in front of her and said, "Come on! If you have the guts, come and fight me! Anyway, I am not afraid because I have your precious son (grandson) standing in front of me."
Zeng Wenjuan no longer wanted to care about anything else as she and her child were dying. The most important thing was for her and Goudan to survive.
Zhou Li and Deng stood there, not daring to move, for fear of hurting their precious son (grandson). Fortunately, not long after, Zhao Lao and Zhao Zhaocai came back.
"What are you all standing here for? Have you cooked?" Old Man Zhao said with a dark face, carrying a hoe on his shoulder.
When Ms. Deng saw the head of the family coming back, she immediately went over and cried and complained: "Head of the family... I can't live anymore. This daughter-in-law is standing on my head and shitting on me."
Old Man Zhao glanced at Zeng Wenjuan and then at Zhou Li, his tone a little depressed. He had worked hard outside all day, and now he had to deal with these bad things when he came back.
"What are you doing at home all day? If you have so much free time, go work in the fields."
"Father-in-law, it's not me and mother who are quarreling, it's obviously my sister-in-law. We just got home and saw her beating your eldest grandson. I don't know how she tortures your grandson when we are not around!" Zhou Li complained first.
Hearing that his eldest grandson was beaten, Father Zhao immediately looked at Zeng Wenjuan and said, "Are you sick? Dabao is still a child. As his aunt, can't you be more lenient with him? Hurry and give Dabao to me, or I will beat you to death."
"Hehe... Goudan is also your grandson. Why don't you ever ask about it when he gets beaten? Children who are not your biological children are different. I acknowledge your kindness in raising me. Let's divide this family today! Otherwise, one day there will be a fight to the death." Zeng Wenjuan directly stated her purpose.
It was the time to get off work, and most of the families in the village had to pass by Zhao's house. Hearing that there was something exciting going on inside, most people stopped eating and gathered at the door to watch.
"Oh my god... They actually want to divide the family. The parents are still here and they won't do that. What's wrong with Juanzi? Old Zhao raised her, so how could she be so heartless?"
"I know Juanzi's character. She has worked hard since she was young. She was happy even when Mrs. Deng beat her. She never said anything bad about her parents."
"The older the child gets, the less conscience he has. Didn't Mrs. Deng tell us that her eldest son is also an ungrateful person, with such a high salary every month, but he never sends a penny home?"
"It's true, people from the same family stick together. It's normal for a couple to have some small thoughts after getting married, but to separate the family is really immature."
Everyone's comments were polarized. Some supported Zeng Wenjuan, but more people supported Ms. Deng. Rural areas in this era are actually similar to those in ancient times. Filial piety can crush people to death.
"Why are you making a fuss? You're fine most of the time. Did you take the wrong medicine today? You'd be happy if others laughed at your family, right?" Seeing that everyone was on his side, Old Man Zhao scolded Zeng Wenjuan.
"Father-in-law...you can't say that. People who have always suffered losses don't want to suffer losses anymore, so they make a fuss. Do you want us to suffer losses for the rest of our lives?" Zeng Wenjuan had known for a long time that no one in this family was on their side, but when she really heard it, she still felt infinitely sad.
When Ms. Deng heard this, she immediately got furious: "What do you mean you're at a disadvantage? I hid the bacon and eggs, and you threw them at me all day long. What else do you want?"
"That's what we deserve. The money that Jianguo sends back is enough to support the whole family. What's wrong with us eating two pieces of meat and a few eggs? If it weren't for my man supporting this family all these years, we would have gone hungry long ago." Zeng Wenjuan argued while protecting Goudan.
"Bullshit... When did Zhao Jianguo ever send money home? He was living a good life in the army and didn't care about our lives at home at all." Ms. Deng yelled.
"Hahaha...Mrs. Deng, you are Miss Juan's mother! This is the first time I see someone scolding himself."
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Jianguo, the eldest son of the Zhao family, is not such an unfilial child. How could he not send money back? What's more, he has a wife and children at home. Is Mrs. Deng lying?"
"I think it's very possible. If they really hadn't sent money back, their family would have been able to eat so well, and Zhou Li and her son would have worn new clothes!"
Seeing that everyone was talking about her, Zhou Li explained loudly, "These were all given to me by my mother. My sister-in-law is a wild child who was picked up! When my mother prepared the cloth for me, she also prepared some for my sister-in-law. How could such a beautiful thing happen?"
Hearing Zhou Li and the others' sophistry, Zeng Wenjuan couldn't help but sneer: "Haha... My husband sends thirty yuan back on time every month. If you didn't take it, I would have to go to the post office to check who claimed it. Anyway, there is someone signing when you go to the post office to withdraw money, so it's easy to check."
"What are you investigating? We don't even know if you took it yourself. And then you colluded with the post office to slander us!" Zhou Li immediately retorted.
There was an immediate uproar in the crowd.
"Oh my God! Thirty yuan... How long will it take me to earn that? This damn Deng family always speaks ill of Jianguo. They are playing both the boss and the boss!"
