Chapter 81 Su Yindi's Resentment
Huo Ran appeared and left suddenly, seemingly appearing and disappearing without warning, but always showing up when Jiang Mi needed him.
The first thing Jiang's mother did upon entering the room was to summon Su Yindi. By then, Su Yindi had already washed and dressed herself, but the scratches on her face from her mother's scratches were quite noticeable, and her eyes were red, making her look very disheveled.
Su Yindi was terrified when she saw Jiang's mother, but she knew she couldn't escape today, so she knelt down with a thud.
"Mother, everything that happened today was my fault. I know I was wrong."
Su Yindi thought that because she admitted her mistake quickly, Jiang's mother wouldn't do anything to her. Unfortunately, she underestimated Jiang's mother's anger!
“I’ve always turned a blind eye to your financial support to your family, since you don’t have much money yourself, and it’s fine if you give them some occasionally. But look at your family, do they deserve this kind of treatment?”
Jiang's mother scolded her with exasperation, wishing she could pour a bucket of water over Su Yindi's head to wake her up.
Jiang Mi also pleaded earnestly from the side: "Third sister-in-law, they say you can help in an emergency, but not in a life of poverty. Your brother is perfectly capable, yet he doesn't work to earn money. He just asks you three sisters for money all day to live a carefree life. Do you think this is good for him or bad for him? Can you help him for the rest of your lives?"
Su Yindi was dismissive of what Jiang Mi said. In her opinion, if Jiang Mi hadn't found out, none of this would have happened today. In short, it was all Jiang Mi's fault.
"Mother, I won't give it to you again. I've learned my lesson today, and there won't be a next time."
Su Yindi's voice was muffled. She was holding her breath, feeling guilty and afraid of her mother-in-law, which was why she was being so obedient.
Jiang's mother sighed. After all, she was her own daughter-in-law. Her attitude of admitting her mistake was good, but it would only last for a while. People like Su Yindi would never change unless they suffered a great loss.
"If there's a next time, I'll call Ziru back and divorce you. Since you like your family so much, why don't you just go back to your family home!"
When Jiang's mother said this, not only Su Yindi, but even Jiang Cheng and Jiang Mi were startled!
Su Yindi never expected that her mother-in-law would divorce her. Because of such a small matter, she suddenly staggered to the ground and burst into tears.
"Mother, I've worked hard since I married into the Jiang family, even if I haven't done anything particularly meritorious. You can't treat me like this, otherwise how am I supposed to live? My own family won't accept me either. People will gossip about me and break my back. Mother, I beg you, I'll never dare to do it again..."
Jiang's mother remained unmoved and snorted, "If you don't want to be divorced, then behave yourself. Otherwise, don't blame your mother-in-law for not showing any consideration. From now on, don't carry any money. If you need anything, just tell me or Honey. But if you dare to lie, hmph!"
Jiang's mother didn't say what the consequences would be, she just hummed twice, and Su Yindi started to have all sorts of wild thoughts. She didn't want to be divorced, that would be so embarrassing!
“Last time you were always targeting Honey, and I warned you once. This time, considering that your mistake was different, I'll give you one last chance. Third brother's wife, you'd better watch yourself.”
Su Yindi lay sprawled on the ground, as if she had no bones. She was terrified by Jiang's mother's words and realized that she really needed to behave herself for a while.
But with the Mid-Autumn Festival just a few days away, it seems she won't have a good time going back to her parents' home...
"Go back, I don't want to see you right now." Jiang's mother waved her hand dismissively, feeling utterly exhausted in the face of her third son's wife.
Seeing that Su Yindi couldn't get up for a long time, Jiang Mi had no choice but to go over and help her up herself. But as soon as they got outside, Su Yindi started complaining in Jiang Mi's ear.
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation now. Jiang Mi, are you satisfied now?"
Jiang Mi found it unbelievable. She didn't know what kind of thought process Su Yindi had. So, when something went wrong, she blamed everything on her.
Jiang Mi immediately wanted to throw Su Yindi out.
As a good woman, when faced with criticism from family members, you should patiently explain and be understanding.
I'm amazed by her grandmother's patience and tolerance...
Jiang Mi had just finished cursing in her heart when she was shocked by the system. Faced with the system's tyranny, she had no choice but to submit.
Su Yindi saw Jiang Mi suddenly twitch, and not knowing what had happened, she immediately pushed away Jiang Mi's hands that were supporting her.
"Stop pretending. I don't need you to help me up. Are you hoping your third brother will come back and divorce me? I won't let you have your way."
After Su Yindi finished speaking, she leaned against the wall and went back to her room, leaving Jiang Mi both amused and exasperated.
Jiang Mi recalled her past life. Although her third sister-in-law had never liked her and the two of them never got along, her third sister-in-law had many bad habits, but she wasn't a bad person at heart. She was just too annoying.
Well, the system said that a family should love each other, so what could she do? She could only put up with it.
The village headman followed Huo Ran's advice and promoted the method of eating locusts to the people. However, the villagers did not believe the village headman's words. They all said that locusts were pests and that people would die if they ate them, so everyone was very resistant.
Seeing that the villagers didn't believe her, and not daring to criticize her daughter in front of Jiang Mi, Jiang's mother cautiously asked, "Honey, is there any other good way? Everyone hates and fears locusts so much, who would dare to eat them?"
Indeed... taking this step is quite difficult, Jiang Mi can understand, but the locust plague is imminent, and we can't afford to wait for them to dawdle like this.
When that time really comes, the crops will be destroyed, and they will be completely finished!
When people are starving, they will do anything: kill, plunder, loot, and even exchange children to eat. These things are very common during famines. They sound cruel, but what does it matter when it comes to survival?
"System, besides this method, are there any other ways?"
There is a way, but you need to unlock new tasks.
"What mission?" Jiang Mi asked anxiously.
The mission has not yet been triggered; please wait for the right opportunity.
What are we waiting for? It's driving me crazy! But Jiang Mi can't do anything about this cunning system. Looking at her expectant mother, Jiang Mi suddenly finds herself speechless.
"Right, they don't listen to the village head, but they have to listen to the county magistrate, right?" Jiang Mi suddenly thought that ordinary people regarded the county magistrate as their parent official. Parent officials are parents officials, and their words are more effective than those of one's own parents.
"Yes, as long as the magistrate says that locusts are edible, everyone will believe it, but we have to convince the magistrate first."
