Chapter 27 Don't worry, Ning Bao won't look down on you.
Mu Youcai, who rarely spoke, was somewhat incredulous upon hearing his mother's words.
"Mother, they are your own granddaughters, how can you say something like selling them?"
Moreover, Zhao Di is only twelve years old. What respectable family would marry a twelve-year-old girl?
Regardless of your opinion, your son disagrees.
Zhao Juhua, who rarely faced resistance from her son, was furious to see even her own son contradicting her today. She stood up angrily, pointed at Mu Youcai,
You disagree?
What gives you the right to disagree?
"I'm the one who calls the shots in this house, and it's not your place to offer your opinions!"
Seeing his mother get angry, Mu Youcai became a little timid, and his voice involuntarily lowered.
“Mother. I am the children’s father, and my wife is their mother. Since ancient times, marriage has been a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker’s words. My wife and I should be the ones to decide our children’s marriage.”
"You, Mu Youcai, now you think you're all grown up and dare to go against me?"
I think it was all that damned old woman Wang's doing, they're all ungrateful wretches..."
Zhao Juhua grew angrier the more she cursed, reaching out to hit Mu Youcai, but her strength gave way when her hand touched him.
Mu Youcai's sullen personality is very similar to his father, Mu Dachang. Although Mu Youcai is Zhao Juhua's only son, Zhao Juhua really dislikes his taciturn nature.
Even if she didn't like it, Zhao Juhua couldn't bear to hit her own son, but she couldn't let out the anger she was holding in; she didn't want to suffocate herself.
Suddenly, Zhao Juhua glanced at her daughter-in-law, Wang Wencai. "If I'd feel bad hitting my own son, I'd hit someone I wouldn't feel bad about."
"Slap!" Zhao Juhua raised her hand and slapped her daughter-in-law Wang Wencai hard across the face.
Wang Wencai felt a burning pain on her face and her head was buzzing. She covered her face and looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
"Mother, why did you hit me? Did your daughter-in-law do something wrong?"
Wang Wencai, abandoning his previous timidity, looked directly at Zhao Juhua.
"The daughter-in-law believes that since marrying into the Mu family, she has never done anything to disobey her husband or disrespect her mother-in-law."
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of hard work as a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law was slapped by her mother-in-law.
If the mother-in-law truly dislikes her daughter-in-law, then she should take the initiative to write her a divorce agreement.
Hearing that Wang Wencai wanted to marry Li Muyoucai, he immediately became anxious.
"Honey, don't say such hurtful things. We were living a good life together, how did it come to this point of divorce?"
"Ha!" Zhao Juhua sneered.
"Divorce? You? It's not that I look down on you, but even if you had two lives, you wouldn't dare to get a divorce."
It's a famine year now, and we're fleeing the famine. How will you, a woman, live after the divorce?
I'm telling you, don't threaten me with divorce. This old woman isn't easily intimidated...
Zhao Juhua kept cursing and swearing. It has to be said that Zhao Juhua's energy was really good. After traveling all day, she was not only not tired, but also had the energy to argue. It was really admirable.
Although there are more than 400 people in Shanglin Village, their camp is not large. After all, it is too far away and it would be difficult to take care of them if something happened at night.
Everyone heard the noise from Zhao Juhua's family, but no one paid any attention. These little quarrels were commonplace for Zhao Juhua's family; they happened almost every day, so there was nothing unusual about it.
Even the village chief chose to ignore it; as long as no one was killed, he didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.
The village chief inwardly scorned Mu Dachang and his son Mu Youcai once again; two grown men at home, yet they let an old woman cause trouble all day long.
It was one thing for them to cause a ruckus when they were in the village, but now that their lives are at stake, they're still making a fuss.
Mu Chunping had been on duty all day, so he didn't have to keep watch at night. After returning from his shift, he drank some thin porridge and went to his wife's resting place.
When Mu Chunping saw his wife's soft, chubby, white baby in bed, the fatigue from a long day instantly vanished.
He had almost forgotten that he had a daughter. Today was the first day he was sleeping with his sweet-smelling daughter. Mu Chunping was very excited. He smelled the sweat on his body and wanted to wash up, but unfortunately there was no water.
Mu Chunping stood there with a furrowed brow and a troubled expression.
Seeing her husband standing blankly by their sleeping mat, Shen Yuzhen couldn't help but speak up.
"Husband, what are you thinking about? Come up and rest. You've had a long day. The village chief said we have to set off at dawn tomorrow."
Mu Chunping hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Yuzhen with a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Honey, I smell too bad and I'm afraid it will bother our daughter. Maybe I should go and let the kids sleep here."
Before Shen Yuzhen could speak, Ningbao poked her little head out from under the covers.
"Father, don't worry, Ningbao won't look down on you."
