And most importantly, she knew her husband's worth very well. If it weren't for the subsidy from her husband's family, her family of three would be lucky to have enough to eat. How could they eat meat every other day like they do now? She was just a little jealous of her mother-in-law's unfairness to her and Nanqiao, and she didn't really want to split up the family.
So when she heard Aunt Xiumei getting angry, she was a little panicked.
But Huiping heard her husband's commanding tone and refused to respond stubbornly.
Seeing her like this, Sheng Yanjun spoke with some anger.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah," Huiping hummed and said nothing more. She carried Yaya off the bed, and the family of three left the house.
Uncle Sheng, who had just folded the bedding in the house, looked at his wife's angry expression and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Weren't you so happy just now?"
"Nothing." Aunt Xiumei knew that he cared about these things in his heart, and also knew that he had always felt guilty towards Sheng Yanchuan for so many years, so she didn't want to tell these things to her husband and make him upset.
Uncle Sheng saw that she didn't want to talk, so he poured a glass of water in front of her and comforted her, "Okay, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Didn't you say that there were good things happening recently when you came back yesterday? You are so angry, what should I do if the good things are scared away by you?"
"Yes! I can't be angry, I have to be happy! If I have to be angry or jealous, it shouldn't be me. I still have to wait for my baby son to bring me good news." Aunt Xiumei thought about it and agreed. If she had to be angry or jealous, it was Huiping's job. Why should she be angry? She can't be angry!
Uncle Sheng smiled when he saw her like this. The old couple had lived together for so many years, and he knew her temper very well. Seeing that she was no longer angry, he felt relieved. "Let's go, let's eat."
"Let's go." Aunt Xiumei stood up and followed Uncle Sheng out of the room.
In the yard, Sheng Yanjun and Huiping had already brought out breakfast and put it on the table. When Sheng Yanjun saw the old couple coming out, he pretended nothing had happened and said, "Dad and Mom, come and eat. Huiping has prepared everything."
Hui Ping just stood aside with her head down, not saying a word. Sheng Yanjun glared at her, but he didn't say anything in front of his parents. He just asked her to sit down and eat.
In the past, four eggs were boiled in the morning, one for Yaya and one for Taohua in the morning. One of the remaining two was left for Yaya as a snack during the day, and the other was given to Taohua to eat when she was hungry in the morning.
Today, Sheng Yanchuan took two away. She had intended to cook two more to keep, but seeing Huiping like this, she didn't care anymore. Don't think she didn't know who ate Yaya's egg. She was such a little girl. If she really wanted to eat a full meal in the morning, she ate an egg in the morning. How much could she eat at noon? She just turned a blind eye.
But she doesn't have that thought now.
Aunt Xiumei picked up two eggs and put one in Taohua's hand. She peeled the other and handed it to Yaya. Huiping looked at her mother-in-law's actions and wanted to say something, but before she could speak
Aunt Xiumei exploded first
"Old man, you are not satisfied with just taking care of the children at home, right?" Aunt Xiumei slammed her chopsticks on the table and said angrily.
The huge noise frightened everyone at the table, not to mention the person involved. Even Uncle Sheng, who was standing by, flinched a little. He tugged at Aunt Xiumei's clothes and muttered, "What's going on? What's going on again?"
Aunt Xiumei ignored him and just stared at the eldest daughter-in-law, her eyes were about to spit fire.
"Mom...Mom, what's wrong with me?" the eldest daughter-in-law asked cautiously.
"What's wrong with you? Look at Yaya. The black and blue marks on her arms and the red marks on her neck. Where did these handprints come from? Don't tell me that she hit herself!" Aunt Xiumei wanted to strangle her to death. When did her Sheng family produce such a child abuser?
"Mom, I really didn't!" Hui Ping argued. She felt distressed when she saw the wounds on the child's body, but when she saw the location of the wounds, she guessed that she had used too much force in the morning. The child's skin was tender, so it was obvious. She lost her confidence for a moment.
After Aunt Xiumei said this, the family members saw the marks on Yaya's body. Uncle Sheng's face darkened. Sheng Yanjun was a little confused. He felt that Huiping was not like this, but the marks on her body could not be fake. Maybe the child's skin was tender. If they hadn't taken the eggs handed to them by Aunt Xiumei, they really wouldn't have noticed it.
"This... Yaya, is this because someone outside bullied you?" Sheng Yanjun tried to ask his daughter. He only had this little daughter after being married for a few years. To be honest, Sheng Yanjun loved her very much. Seeing her injured now, he felt very distressed.
When Yaya heard her father asking questions, she was probably afraid because she remembered her parents quarreling. She said timidly, "No...No."
"What are you bullying? You are the daughter-in-law who just looks after a child at home every day. How can you let other family members bully you? How old is Yaya? Can she go out by herself?" Aunt Xiumei didn't give the two a chance to argue. She let out all the anger she had been holding in for the whole morning.
"Come, Yaya, come to grandma." Yaya stood up and got into grandma's arms. Aunt Xiumei blew on the wound on Yaya's body with concern and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"Grandma, Yaya doesn't feel any pain anymore," Yaya said while eating the eggs in small bites.
"My dear, I originally wanted you to marry into our family so that we don't have to earn work points to support the family. You can stay at home to take care of the children and cook meals so that the family can come back to eat a hot meal. But now you are gone and the child is covered in injuries. So how about this, you also go to work in the future, and Yaya can take care of the field while Taohua can take her to play under the shade of the tree."
Huiping had been idle for so long, how could she bear to work in the hot sun? She was anxious to argue, but before she could open her mouth, Aunt Xiumei added:
