Chapter 465 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 9
Lu Zhaodi didn't expect that those old women would be so easily driven away by the third brother, nor did she expect that the third brother, who was always easy to talk to, would be so sharp-tongued today.
However, the fact that the third brother disobeyed her today could not be easily covered up. She knew from childhood that either the east wind would prevail over the west wind, or the west wind would prevail over the east wind.
She had a premonition that if she didn't control the third brother and his wife today, she would never be able to act like an elder in front of the third brother again.
Lu Zhaodi looked at Su Jianshe who was teasing Su Li at the side, her eyes full of cruelty. Since he was disobedient, then don't blame her for being a cruel mother.
The look in his eyes didn't seem like he was looking at his own son, but rather at an mortal enemy.
Su Li glanced at his adopted father who was pretending to be calm, and felt sympathy for him for a second.
What a poor kid.
How did I end up with such a mother?
Su Li had suspected that Su Lao San was not Lu Zhaodi's biological son, but she had checked it the night before she arrived, and it was absolutely confirmed that he was her biological son.
She didn't know what went wrong. If you say that Lu Zhaodi was partial, she was indeed partial. Except for Su Baozhu, who was also a woman and was the apple of her eye, the other sons were no different from weeds in the field.
Even Su Laowu, who was raised by her, did not seem to show any favoritism to her.
This can be seen from her fat body and the skinny bodies of several sons of the Su family. She does not favor any of her sons at all.
Not only that, she also treated her sons equally, brainwashing and sucking their blood without distinction, asking them to treat their sister Su Baozhu well, and determined to raise her sons into sister demons.
If it was because she was treated unfairly because she was a daughter at her mother's home and suffered the pain of favoring boys over girls, she would not want her descendants to suffer the same pain after she herself had been through it.
But she was only nice to Su Baozhu, the daughter of her own daughter. No matter whether she was the eldest granddaughter of the original owner or the granddaughters born later, she treated them all with disgust, calling them money-losing goods and girls all the time.
I don’t understand, I really don’t understand!
Su Li was just thinking about it when he heard Lu Zhaodi cursing again.
Her voice was so loud that you couldn't tell at all that she was a frail middle-aged woman who was so weak that she would faint even when sweeping the floor or washing clothes.
"Su Jianshe, you're such a heartless ungrateful bastard! If I had known you'd forget your mother after marrying a wife, I should have drowned you in a manure vat when you were born."
"You idiot, if you don't take that money-losing bastard to your sister-in-law's room today, you'll have to send him to the mountain. Otherwise, you and your family of three will have to get out. There's no such heartless and ungrateful beast as you in my Su family."
It is a famine year now, and even if you have money, you can't buy food. In the past two years, countless elderly people have starved to death in the village. She doesn't believe that she can't control the third brother and his wife.
She was really wrong. The current Su Jianshe was Niu Hulu Jianshe. He was only thinking about how to go against his parents. How could he be afraid of her threats?
Su Jianshe sneered and continued to use his newly developed venomous skills: "Haha, you want to drown your own son and send your granddaughter to die in the mountains. You are not vicious. How can I be considered heartless and ungrateful when I am filial to my parents, respect my brother and sister-in-law, be friendly to my younger brother, and love my wife and daughter?"
"When it comes to being ruthless and ungrateful, I guess everyone in the village put together can't compare to you. Your granddaughter wasn't even a month old when you were already crying and making a scene at home, refusing to let your daughter-in-law breastfeed her. Instead, you made her feed your shameless little money-loser who was born at your age of fourteen. Aren't you cruel?"
"The whole family is tightening their belts, having only two meals a day of porridge made from wild vegetables and grains, and we can only eat until we are 50% full. But you don't have to do any work every day, but you have to eat a boiled egg every morning, and three meals a day, and they have to be white rice porridge and white flour buns."
What Su Jianshe said was no different from pointing at Lu Zhaodi's nose and saying that she was selfish, cruel and unkind. Lu Zhaodi was so angry that she almost bit her back teeth off.
Without giving her a chance to speak, Su Jianshe continued, "Mom, when you're always crying and complaining about us brothers being unfilial, why don't you ever look in the mirror? Your face is almost as big as a vegetable basin, isn't it?"
Su Jianshe also discovered today that his mother looked more than ten years younger than other aunts of the same age in the village, especially her white bun-like face.
Everyone was hungry and looked pale and thin, but she was plump and fair like a rich lady from a landlord's family.
It was because he was blind that he thought his mother was really weak and needed to eat more good food to nourish her body!
In his opinion, the person in the family who least needed help was his mother. He guessed that apart from his mother, no other woman's howling could be heard two miles away!
Su Jianshe was not stupid either. He had already known the reason why his mother was sitting on the ground and howling today.
Lu Zhaodi howled loudly and he spoke loudly too, ensuring that those who said they were busy at home but were actually still lying on the wall of his yard could hear him clearly.
The door of Su Jianshe's room was wide open, and the person leaning on the wall and craning his neck not only heard everything clearly, but also saw everything clearly.
I just wanted to eat some melon, but I didn't expect to get a bottle of vinegar as a gift.
Now, not only the women who were lying on the wall of the Su family and continuing to eat melons felt jealous, but even some of the grown men who came to watch the fun almost bit their back teeth off!
In this year, if you can eat two meals a day, it means you have food stored at home and are capable.
Even if it wasn't a year of famine, they had never dreamed of eating a white flour steamed bun a day. Lu Zhaodi actually had three meals of white porridge a day and three white flour steamed buns.
Not only that, he actually eats an egg every morning?
Oh my god, what a magical day!
No wonder Lv Zhaodi is almost 40 years old, but she looks more youthful than a young woman in her 20s. She is well-fed! (It’s not an exaggeration. People in the countryside these days look old. They are exposed to the wind and sun. A young woman in her 20s looks like she is in her 30s or 40s.)
We all live in the same village, so why can't everyone else have enough to eat, while Lu Zhaodi can only eat white flour buns and egg porridge?
Someone yelled into the room sourly, "Lü Zhaodi, you're so selfish! You've been well fed and well cared for, but you don't even feed your own daughter. You've actually let your daughter-in-law do it. Aren't you bullying me?"
When Jianshe's wife first got married, her face was so round. Everyone who saw her would say she was blessed.
Look at her. She has only been married for two years, but her big face has become as thin as an oval one. You can tell at a glance that she has suffered a lot of hunger in the Su family.
"It's because Jianshe's wife is young and shy, and she's also filial, that she agreed to Lu Zhaodi's unreasonable request. Let's try it with someone else."
"That's right, no one has ever heard of a family not feeding a newborn baby and feeding their greedy sister-in-law. Tsk tsk, if you tell anyone about this, it's going to make people laugh to death."
"No wonder she's so fat. It seems the whole family is starving so she can eat alone!"
"Tsk tsk, everyone saves food for the husband and children who do the hard work at home, but she is so selfish. Not only does she not give the husband and children an extra bite, she also wants them to eat enough and eat well. Fortunately, she is not my wife, otherwise I would slap her hard in the face."
The old lady of the Su family used to be a young lady from a wealthy family. Even though she fell into poverty, she still had some family wealth. Since Lu Zhaodi married into the family, she has been well fed and well cared for, so she naturally grew up to be plump and fair.
That's why no one has noticed that she is any different from the people around her. At most, they can only say that she is lucky to marry into a good family.
But it’s different now. Not to mention that the Su family has been spending lavishly over the years and whether they still have any wealth, even if they have money, they can’t buy tickets. In this year, you can’t buy food from outside!
Then the question is, where does the Su family’s white rice and white flour come from?
A crowd of onlookers started discussing with each other.
From where the Su family bought the food, to how much wealth the old lady of the Su family left to the Su family before she passed away, to whether Lu Zhaodi was qualified to be a mother and grandmother, and whether the Su brothers were foolishly filial?
Lu Zhaodi had stood up from the ground at some point. Hearing the increasingly loud discussions outside, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her eyes were red, and she looked at Su Jianshe as if she wanted to eat him.
"Su Jianshe, you...you..."
Just at this moment, Su Chengdong, who heard the news in the field, ran back in a hurry. He didn't care about the people who were lying on the wall watching the excitement. He strode into the yard, and his voice arrived before he arrived.
"Third brother, are you trying to turn the tables? You dare to bully your mother? I'll beat you to death today!"
Su Chengdong is in his early forties. In modern times, he might still be considered an older unmarried man, but in this era, he is already a veritable old man.
When he saw him, Su Li seemed to understand why Lu Zhaodi had the final say in this family.
Old man Su is less than 1.8 meters tall, with ordinary facial features. When he looks at people, it seems like there is a knife hidden in his eyes. He has dark skin and is in his early forties, but looks like a man at least in his sixties. Standing with the still charming Lu Zhaodi, they look like father and daughter.
Seeing Old Man Su was like seeing her backbone. With tears in her eyes, Lü Zhaodi called out, "Boss, you're finally back!"
If there weren't a group of people watching the fun lying on the wall, they would probably have thrown themselves into Old Man Su's arms.
Old Man Su had a gloomy face and without asking why, he instinctively ordered, "Third brother, kneel down and kowtow to your mother to admit your mistake, otherwise, you and your family will get out today."
He didn't really want to drive them out. It was true that the times were bad, but the third brother and his wife were capable. Not only could they earn work points for the family by staying at home, but the third brother could also go up the mountain to look for some mountain products, and his wife could help feed Baozhu.
Moreover, only by keeping them at home would they be controlled by him and his wife. A real separation would not benefit him at all.
Liu Xiaomei didn't know what Old Man Su was thinking. When she heard her father-in-law also said that he wanted to kick them out, she became anxious and hurriedly pulled Su Jianshe's sleeve, signaling Su Jianshe to admit his mistake quickly.
In this kind of situation, if their family was separated, without money or food, wouldn’t they starve to death?
Su Jianshe sneered. If he hadn't had the precognitive dream, he might have been as frightened as his wife.
But now, haha, not to mention that he saw through his father's thoughts at a glance, even if he didn't, he would never be scared by his threats.
However, his parents did remind him that dividing the family was indeed a good idea.
As long as they split up, the three of them could live their lives behind closed doors. If he wanted to give his daughter eggs, she could eat eggs; if he wanted to buy malted milk for her, she could buy malted milk. She wouldn't have to eat in secret like a thief in her own home.
Su Jianshe had made up his mind, and he looked at Old Man Su with resentment in his eyes: "I did nothing wrong in what happened today. Even if you and mother want to drive my family out and let them starve to death, I am not wrong."
Su Jianshe stiffened his neck and continued, not waiting for Old Man Su to get angry: "I just missed my daughter and brought her back to see her. It's not illegal. But her mother cried and yelled at me to send her to the mountain to fend for herself."
"Dad, this is my first child, and also the first granddaughter of the Su family. How could Mom be so cruel and want her to die?"
When Su Jianshe thought of his daughter in his dream, he was overwhelmed with grief. He didn't need to pretend, tears started streaming down his face. While crying, he clearly told her everything about how Lu Zhaodi forced them to wean their daughter who was less than a month old and didn't allow them to see their daughter.
"Dad, my wife and I just want to see our daughter. What's wrong with that? If you and Mom insist on accusing Xiaomei and me of being unfilial and kicking us out, then go ahead and kick us out!"
Su Jianshe cried pitifully and sadly. Not only did Liu Xiaomei beside him burst into tears, but even the few soft-hearted women lying on the wall also wiped their tears.
Some of them were mean to their daughters-in-law, but few of them would actually throw their own granddaughter onto the mountain.
Lu Zhaodi usually pretends not to discriminate against girls, but it seems that she only doesn't look down on her own daughters, and she wants to throw her granddaughter into the mountains to feed the wild beasts.
The two families living on both sides of the Su family began to reveal some details that they heard at home on a daily basis.
What?
Lu Zhaodi is like a landlord's wife at home, doing no work and complaining of dizziness every day?
Bah, you feel dizzy every day and still give birth to pearls!
What?
Lu Zhaodi would lock herself in her home and lie on the ground crying and shouting for death?
Bah, we’ve all been there, we all know each other, if you have the guts, why don’t you open the door and let everyone see?
What?
…
The neighbors on both sides were spewing out information, and coupled with what everyone had just seen, the onlookers were able to eat their fill.
He instantly felt the burning sensation in his stomach ease, and his legs, which had been trembling with hunger, regained strength. His envy and jealousy of Lu Zhaodi turned into contempt and disdain in an instant.
One person spat angrily, "Bah, no wonder her little granddaughter cries all the time. It turns out she's hungry, while she's been eating so much. I wonder how she can eat when she hears her little granddaughter crying and sees her whole family starving and watching her eat?"
Another person followed suit and spat, saying with disdain, "She usually acts so noble, pointing fingers at those who favor boys over girls in the village, trying to make herself look so different. But it turns out she's so mean to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter behind their backs!"
