Building a school is such a big project, who in the village doesn’t know about it?
Some people who had nothing to do after eating came up to Mrs. Song and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Daya is really amazing. Fortunately, she was not sold. Otherwise, who would build a school for our village? Thanks to you, Mrs. Song, for doing good deeds and accumulating blessings every day, you raised such a good granddaughter who benefits the whole village!"
Mrs. Song really couldn't stand it anymore. These past two days, someone always ran up to her and conspicuous himself. She treated her as if she was made of clay and pounced on her and started beating her.
When the onlookers saw that it was Mrs. Song, they did not mind the incident and not only did they not try to stop the fight, they even joined in the commotion.
Mrs. Song was being pulled by the hair by the fat aunt, and she was cursing, "You are a bunch of filthy people who deserve a bad death. When I have time, I will tear you apart one by one!"
Everyone just treated her as a joke and didn't take her words seriously at all.
When Mrs. Song came home with disheveled hair, Old Man Song started cursing.
"Don't you think our family is shameful enough? Do you really have to embarrass me completely?"
When Mrs. Song was scolded and beaten outside, she didn't feel as aggrieved as she did now. She cried with a sad face, "Did I embarrass you? If you have this temper, go and yell at the head of the village, at Song Daya!"
"Besides being tough in front of me, you should also be tough with others. You are the one who came up with all the ideas, but when something goes wrong, people only blame me, Old Lady Song. Why don't you go out and let people see how evil your heart is..."
The old couple was shouting loudly, so the eldest and second eldest families of the Song family came over to try to stop the fight.
Song Lao Er said impatiently, "Mom, can you shut up? Do you really have to make people laugh at our family?"
"Shut up?" Mrs. Song pointed at Song Lao Er and angrily scolded, "Why didn't you tell me to shut up when you asked Lao San to do corvee labor for you? Why didn't you tell me to shut up when you sold Lao San's family? Now you tell me to shut up? Do I deserve to be scolded and beaten, and pushed out as a shield by you guys?"
Granny Song's tone was agitated and her expression was crazy.
Song Lao Er still looked like he didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently, "Things have passed, so don't keep mentioning them. We who are still alive should still look forward."
The second brother had a look of disgust on his face, and the eldest brother stood beside him and didn't dare to sigh.
Mrs. Song didn't catch her breath, and suddenly her vision went dark, and she fell straight to the ground.
"mother!"
Fortunately, Boss Song was quick to act and supported Mrs. Song. "I'll help you in."
Mrs. Song was speechless and let Boss Song help her into the inner room.
Song Lao Er sat down next to Old Man Song and asked in confusion, "Dad, where did Song Daya get so much money?"
"Didn't they say she went hunting?" Old man Song puffed on his pipe.
Song Lao Er narrowed his eyes and said in an ambiguous way, "It's really easy to make money in the mountains!"
Just when the quarrel in the Song family had calmed down, the quarrel in the Zhang family next door started again.
The family was still eating. Tang slammed the chopsticks on the table and said through gritted teeth.
"Our family has a bright future ahead of us, we don't need big brother to give us instructions!"
"Sister-in-law, do you know how much effort I put in to get Carpenter Yang to agree?" Zhang Daniu looked earnest.
"Families like us should be more practical, either farming or learning a skill, and stop daydreaming."
Tang was almost mad with anger. "Our Rushan can study and we wanted to send him to school, but you disagreed. We are incompetent because we can't afford the money."
"Now that we can send him to Yuehua's school, you went to find Carpenter Yang without telling us. Brother, I want to ask you, what are you thinking?"
"What am I worried about!" Zhang Daniu slapped the table, pointed at Tang and said angrily, "How can you talk to your elder brother like that?"
Zhang Erniu stood in front of Tang and said, "Brother, I also want to ask you, we have been brothers for decades, what are you thinking?"
Zhang Daniu sneered, "I want us brothers to stay together and I want Goudan to have food to eat in the future. What do you think I am thinking?"
Just as Tang was about to speak, Zhang Erniu continued.
"Brother, Rushan is our son, so you don't need to worry about him. If you have this thought, you should focus on your own daughter."
"Zhang Erniu!"
Zhang Daniu grabbed Zhang Erniu by the collar, his eyes reddened as he said, "Are you laughing at me? I just gave birth to a son, why do you look down on me!"
Zhang Erniu threw a punch and knocked Zhang Daniu to the ground, gasping for breath, "Are you fucking crazy?"
As soon as Zhang Erniu let go, Zhang Daniu rushed over like crazy and punched Zhang Erniu desperately.
Tang and Zhang hurried over to break up the fight. The whole Zhang family was in chaos with noise, insults, and calls for people to stop fighting.
Grandma Jin, who was sitting in the middle, sighed and said, "Divide the family!"
The sound stopped instantly and everyone looked at her.
Grandma Jin looked at the scene in front of her where the family was no longer a family and the people were no longer human, and said sadly, "Separate the family."
After the separation was proposed, the first person who disagreed was Zhang Daniu. He shouted, "I don't agree!"
Zhang Erniu and Tang Shi didn't say anything.
"It's no use what you say." Grandma Jin said sternly, "This family must be divided if I say so."
"Mom!" Zhang Daniu softened his attitude. "It's normal for brothers to quarrel. There's no need to go to that extent."
"Which step?" Grandma Jin asked, "How far do you want to go?"
Zhang Daniu was speechless.
"Daniu!" Grandma Jin said gently, "As your mother, how could I not know what you are thinking?"
"You are jealous that Rushan is a boy who can study. You didn't agree to send him to school before, and you even used money as an excuse. Now that there will be a school in the village, you want to send him to learn carpentry. How can I not know your sinister intentions?"
