Chapter 16 She felt that she had suffered a great loss again. …
I feel like it's a bit of a waste of talent for Old Lady Ma to be allowed to display her talents here.
Ma Erya insisted on separating her two sons. No matter how the brigade cadres tried to persuade her, it was useless. They could not force her, so they agreed and helped to be witnesses.
When dividing the money, Ma Erya deducted the filial piety money for that month and also deducted five yuan from the eldest wife.
Although it was divided into three parts, the bulk of it was in her hands.
The eldest and second oldest families got an equal share.
The question is that she and the old man can move around now without relying on their two sons. When they can no longer move, which son will be filial to her and to which son will all her belongings be left after she and the old man die.
After this incident, she recognized the two sons as her own. Ma Erya would rather live alone with the old man than see them.
Facing the surprised look of the old lady, Ma Erya snorted.
"Old man, don't be unconvinced. You were also responsible for Xiaocao's injury. Don't think that it didn't involve you and that it's nothing. You don't have to pay for the eggs, but you have to pay for the money."
Sun Meifeng was angry but dared not speak out.
She felt that if she dared to object at this moment, her mother-in-law would find all kinds of reasons to deduct the money allocated to their eldest daughter.
Although her pension money for that month was deducted, Zhao Chunxia still happily accepted it.
She was already very happy about the compensation, and before she even mentioned dividing the family property, her mother-in-law divided the property herself, which made her even happier.
As for the share in the hands of her parents-in-law, it’s not that she doesn’t want it, but it’s mainly because she didn’t get much before, and now there is even less hope. It’s better for her to live her own life behind closed doors.
The big chunk of money was naturally in Ma Erya's hands. Shared things like the kitchen were also clearly written down. A written document was also made about this, with four copies in total, one for each family member and a backup copy kept by the brigade headquarters.
Zhou Xian felt that she was worthy of being the old lady who battled wits and courage with the heroine and often made the heroine feel helpless. Even her ideas were different from those of ordinary people.
Generally, elderly people are reluctant to split up the family, isn't it just so that they can take control of the family? After all, after the family is split up, each of them has their own small family, their hearts are no longer together, and they have to compare in everything they do.
Even if we break up, I have to keep a son by my side to be filial to me.
This old lady Ma is unusual. She is the only one in Taohua Brigade who can give away all her sons.
Before leaving, Ma Erya came up to Zhou Xian with a smile and talked to her for a long time. Her general idea was to ask whether she, as the director of the Women's Federation, should be in charge of the affairs of other brigades.
Zhou Xian said, "Aunt, I am the director of the Women's Federation of our Taohua Brigade. I definitely cannot manage other brigades."
Even if she wants to control things, no one will listen to her.
"That means the directors of the Women's Federations of other brigades have no control over our brigades?"
"That's for sure. Only the Women's Federation of the commune can manage all our production brigades."
Ma Erya nodded, not knowing what she was thinking. She watched Zhou Xian and the others leave, then turned around and went back.
Zhou Xian had only taken two steps when he was stopped by Zhou Xiaocao again. She trotted over and stuffed something into Zhou Xian's hand.
"Thank you, aunt. I really don't know how to thank you. Please keep this."
Zhou Xian touched it and realized it was an egg, which was still a little warm.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Zhou Xiaocao ran back into the house without giving her a chance to refuse.
Zhou Xian looked at it for a while and put the egg in his pocket.
When I went back, I could still hear the system's broadcast.
[The host successfully changed the fate of the female supporting role, career value +10]
Following the system's report, Zhou Xian also got a glimpse of Zhou Xiaocao's ending of marrying into the Tao family before the heroine was reborn.
After she fainted in her previous life, Ma Erya didn't care about her at all. Seeing that she was still breathing, she sent her directly to the Tao family. She was lucky to survive.
Unexpectedly, the heroine's older brother was not a good person. Because he injured his leg when he was young and was ridiculed by others, his mentality became a little distorted.
After Zhou Xiaocao got married, she became the heroine's eldest brother's punching bag, and he often abused her. Not only did he beat her until she was covered in bruises, but he also caused her to have several miscarriages.
After learning that Zhou Xiaocao was infertile, he became even more aggressive.
In the previous life, it was not that there were no comrades from the Women's Federation who went to the Tao family to mediate, and even people from the Women's Federation on the commune side came. However, the Tao family agreed on the surface, but once the people were sent away, their expressions immediately changed. Behind the door, the eldest brother of the Tao family, Tao Guangzong, even became even more aggressive towards her.
In the end, Zhou Xiaocao was tortured to death.
Because it was a story in a book, what Zhou Xian could see was limited. All he could see was Zhou Xiaocao being beaten.
But after the heroine was reborn, her elder brother lived a good life because of her.
"That's strange. Didn't Xiaocao's family help her in her previous life?"
Aunt Ma might turn a blind eye, but Sister Chunxia couldn't just watch her daughter get beaten and say nothing, right?
Someone like Sister Chunxia wouldn't be the type to watch her daughter suffer so much.
But the system couldn't give an answer, because that was a matter of the previous life, and the book basically just glossed over these things. The second branch barely appeared a few times in that life.
In this life, because of Zhou Xian's intervention, Zhou Xiaocao's predetermined path was changed. She would no longer marry into the Tao family, and would not have ended up like in the book.
Zhou Xian did not ask any further questions.
On the other side, Zhou Xiaocao was helping to pack up her family’s things because of the separation of the family.
My sister and brother are all very happy.
For a moment, Zhou Xiaocao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, as if something that was pressing on her shoulders was suddenly taken away.
She couldn't help but stop what she was doing and reached out to touch his shoulder.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" The second sister Zhou Laidi looked at her sister who suddenly stopped and asked with some confusion.
Zhou Xiaocao didn't know why, she put her hands down and smiled at her sister, "Nothing, let's move the things over quickly, mom said she'll make us something delicious tonight."
I originally thought that the matter ended there, but unexpectedly, Ma Erya suddenly went to the Tao family of the Chrysanthemum Production Brigade. I heard that she brought her two sons to make a big fuss at the Tao family, throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground, crying and saying that the Tao family had deceived her. She also wanted to report the Tao family for arranging marriages, and extorted 20 yuan from the Tao family.
It’s not that she doesn’t want the eggs, but the main reason is that the Tao family’s eggs had just been taken to the grain station and sold, so even if she wanted them, she couldn’t get them now.
She refused to wait for the Tao family to save the eggs, because she felt that the longer she waited, the more unexpected things would happen.
So she decisively chose to ask for ten more dollars in compensation.
Of course the Tao family didn't want to pay compensation. After all, both parties had agreed on a bride swap. Now they said that Ma Erya had no idea about it and was deceived by her family. Who would believe this?
Ma Erya put all the blame on her own family, and the Tao family refused to accept it.
There were also quite a few people from the Tao family. Even if Ma Erya brought her two sons to their house, they were not afraid. They even invited the captain of their team to come out.
Unexpectedly, Ma Erya seized the opportunity to run into the Tao family's kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, ran out of the yard waving it, and then attracted the members of the Chrysanthemum Brigade at the Tao family's gate. She put the knife to her neck, crying and accusing the Tao family of deception, and looked like she was about to be killed.
No matter how powerful the Tao family was, they did not dare to cause a death in public. In the end, they compensated Ma Erya 20 yuan and asked her to promise not to cause trouble again. Only then did the matter fall through.
If kitchen knives weren’t hard to buy right now, the Tao family wouldn’t want them. After all, every time I use a kitchen knife, I think of Ma Erya preparing to use it to cut her neck, and I won’t feel comfortable.
Of course, this money was extorted by Ma Erya herself...it was impossible for her to share it with the eldest and second sons' families.
Zhou Xian also knew why Ma Erya asked him that day if she could be in charge of other production teams. It turned out that she had already thought of this plan.
She suspected that on the stage that day, Old Lady Ma had already planned to go to the Tao family to settle the accounts.
Although I didn't see such a scene with my own eyes, Ma Erya made quite a big fuss in the Chrysanthemum Brigade. All the members of their Peach Blossom Brigade knew about it, and the news was widely spread.
This matter has not yet been completely resolved. Zhou Xian, the director of the Women's Federation, still needs to do ideological work for her and make sure that the old lady's feudal ideas have been completely abandoned.
So every day Zhou Xian had to invite the old lady to the brigade headquarters to receive ideological education.
Regarding the incident where Ma Erya went to the Tao family in the Chrysanthemum Brigade to cause trouble, many people in the brigade really couldn't believe that the Ma Erya who was rumored to have blood splattered on the spot and the Ma Erya who was now ashamed in their own brigade were the same person.
Whenever I saw Ma Erya in the team, she always looked like she knew she was wrong and was reflecting on it.
Zhou Sangen looked at his old wife and was even more confused.
"You can go to the Chrysanthemum Brigade to make trouble, why didn't you make trouble with Amaranth that day?"
Ma Erya spat when she heard this, "That damn girl is so evil. If I dare to put a knife to her neck to threaten her, she might really let me cut my neck. After I die, she will even give me the name of committing suicide out of fear of punishment. I am not that stupid."
The girl is very young, but she is very cruel. They will arrest her if they say so. Although if that girl forced her to death, she might get a reputation as cold-blooded and heartless, but what's the use, she's already dead.
Even if she committed suicide in the Chrysanthemum Brigade, it would just be a pretense and she would not really die.
The bet is that the Chrysanthemum Brigade doesn't dare to let her die.
But it’s hard to say about Zhou Xian. She looks amiable on weekdays and smiles when talking to people. But Ma Erya just feels that the girl has a dark heart.
If she were to play the same trick as Zhou Xian, and end up killing herself, that would be a huge loss.
To play this trick, she naturally has to play with those who are afraid. She wouldn't dare to touch those who are not afraid. If she gets it wrong, she doesn't even have to think about the consequences.
I thought that after such a mess, the marriage with the Tao family would be called off.
Unexpectedly, Tao Yezi actually ran directly to the gate of Zhou’s house and said that she wanted to marry Zhou Jianguo.
Ma Erya stared at Tao Ye Zi with wide eyes, thinking that this girl seemed to be not very smart.
The two families were having such an ugly quarrel, but she actually came and said she was willing to marry her eldest grandson?
When she held the knife to her neck, she had never thought of having any more involvement with the Tao family. But she didn't expect that Tao Ye Zi, who had been holding her eldest grandson in her hands, would shamelessly come to her.
Ma Erya slapped her thigh in regret. It turned out that the damn girl had deliberately made fun of her before. Her eldest grandson was a loser, and she really thought that she refused to get married. As a result, she made such a fuss and broke up the family.
In the end, this dead girl had to have her own eldest grandson.
She felt that she had suffered a great loss again.
Then she thought about the twenty yuan she had extorted from the Tao family and felt that she had not lost out. Anyway, the family was divided now, so let the eldest son's wife worry about it. It had nothing to do with her anymore.
After figuring it out, Ma Erya didn't care anymore and just stood by with her hands in her pockets watching the show.
