What kind of family is this? They specialize in eating vegetable hearts. Ge Shuzhen searched through a pile of broken vegetable leaves to find the good ones that were edible, and shook her head with some regret. The little money was saved, and even if the family didn't lack this little money, they couldn't waste it like this!
When Hao Yueqing heard her talking about herself like this, she ran out feeling aggrieved.
In the makeshift house, he found Jiang You working and threw himself into his arms, crying, "Husband... I just wanted everyone to eat some good cabbage. If we eat the rotten leaves, everyone will get sick, but Auntie scolded me."
The brothers who were working all frowned. Jiang Xin put down his work and said, "Just explain yourself. Can we make a dish out of my mother's rotten vegetable leaves for everyone to eat?"
Jiang Shan had a bad temper. When he heard his eldest brother talking about his mother like that, he immediately became unhappy and loudly retorted, "Impossible! When our family was at its poorest, we ate the rotten cabbage leaves ourselves. When did we ever give them to others?"
"Yes, our family conditions are not very good now, but at least we are not eating rotten cabbage leaves. Is there any misunderstanding?" Jiang Zhong said.
Jiang Xin glanced at the person who was crying: "She said it was a bad leaf. Did I mishear it or am I deaf and heard it wrong?"
"No, I also heard that it was a rotten leaf!" This time it was Jiang Wu who answered Jiang Xin.
Jiang Wu looked at Hao Yueqing and said again in a resounding voice: "She was talking about the rotten leaves. I don't believe that Auntie would let us eat rotten cabbage."
Not only did he not believe it, but no one else believed it either.
Jiang Hui frowned: "Everyone, please stop talking. Let's go to the kitchen and see everything."
After saying that, I went to the kitchen under his guidance and saw Third Aunt rummaging through the soft cabbage leaves on the ground, putting them aside one by one. On the contrary, those leaves that were dirty and a little rotten by the wind were still on the ground.
Ge Shuzhen didn't pay attention when one person came in, thinking that Jiang Hui was looking for something. But then more people came in like dumplings. Ge Shuzhen got up from the ground and looked at the group of young boys suspiciously.
"Why are you looking at me if you're not working?" Ge Shuzhen looked down at herself, not seeing anything dirty. She frowned and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Xin saw the vegetable leaves in his mother's hand, snatched them away, and shoved them in front of Hao Yueqing, who came in later. His face was very ugly, and he said, "Is this the rotten vegetable leaf you mentioned?"
Hao Yueqing took a step back, hiding behind Jiang You, and hummed in a sobbing voice: "This is rotten cabbage leaves. I will get a stomachache after eating this kind of cabbage."
Jiang Xin sneered and put down his hand: "Then you are really spoiled. This is the kind of food we have at home. If you have a stomachache after eating it, just go home and eat it. Don't blame us for your stomachache. We can't bear this responsibility!"
Ge Shuzhen was very confused when she heard her eldest son say this. She reached out and poked Jiang Xin: "What's going on? Why is Jiang You's wife crying?"
Jiang Xin turned his head away, and Ge Shuzhen asked Jiang You again: "What happened to your wife?"
"It's okay, auntie. She is sick. I will take her home right away!" After Jiang You said that, he dragged the person away with a dark face.
Ge Shuzhen wasn't stupid. Although she didn't know what was going on, she could guess that it had something to do with the cabbage. She immediately called out to Jiang Xin, "Tell me what's going on!"
Without waiting for Jiang Xin to speak, Jiang Shan spoke out his thoughts. After listening, Ge Shuzhen fell silent for a moment, sighed, and waved at the children: "Alright, don't take such a small matter to heart. Just do what you need to do. Time wasted is money."
The children responded and went back to their own things. Ge Shuzhen did not take this matter to heart, but thought that she was the only girl in her family, and she must have been spoiled since she was a child. If her family had money, they would also spoil Jiuer. This was a fact.
Before morning, this matter reached Ke Xin's ears.
She raised a single eyebrow: "Good boy, you are so delicate!"
Liu Feiyang sneered: "Are you as delicate as me?"
"In terms of status, family background, or wealth, which one is better than me?"
He could eat all the food, but the new daughter-in-law couldn't eat it. In his opinion, it was not a question of whether to eat it or not, but she was just trying to find fault and make trouble.
If she really can't finish it, then she can eat something else, or tell her husband secretly. Why does she need to let everyone know? This is clearly to make everyone misunderstand that the mother-in-law is black-hearted and embarrass her.
As long as he respects his mother-in-law's family, he won't say it in public, so...this Hao Yueqing is also a troublemaker.
Ke Xin didn't comment and said softly, "In that case, go home and cook for yourself. That's better!"
It was not until lunchtime that Xue Ying learned about the incident his daughter-in-law had caused. He was furious and wanted to give her a good scolding when he got home. It seemed that if he didn't teach her a lesson, it would mean she didn't know how to behave herself. No matter how rich and spoiled she was before getting married, she must not bring this kind of temper into their home.
A farmer's family is not like the family of a wealthy man in town. They have maids to serve them when they go out and someone to cook for them. If you know that they are a farmer's family, you should be prepared that your life after marrying into their family will definitely not be as comfortable as at home.
Xue Ying apologized to Ge Shuzhen with an embarrassed look on her face: "Sister-in-law, my second son's wife is ignorant. Don't bother with her. I'll scold her when I get home!"
"What's the point?" Ge Shuzhen shook her head. "It's not necessary to do this for such a small matter. Besides, she might really feel uncomfortable if she eats stale vegetable leaves. She should just be more careful in the future!"
Whether to clean up or not is her sister-in-law's business. She can't just add fuel to the fire and ask her sister-in-law to go home and beat her up? She can't do such a wicked thing.
In the afternoon, the atmosphere at home always seemed a little off. Although no one showed it on the surface, the voices of the brothers working in the makeshift house were not as cheerful as before.
In the evening, my aunt's family did not stay for dinner, but my grandfather stayed instead.
Ke Xin sat in front of her grandfather and chatted about family matters. She mentioned what happened at noon and said with a smile, "Grandpa, why don't you go back to check on me? What if my aunt gets angry and really beats her new daughter-in-law?"
Jiang Wuli poked Kexin's forehead: "What can I do if you hit me? How can an old man like me take care of so many things?"
"Aren't you afraid that your new wife won't come back with my brother after she returns home tomorrow?"
Is it easy to marry a wife? If he gets beaten and his wife runs away, Jiang You will be a bachelor again.
Jiang Wuli didn't feel worried at all: "Don't worry, if he doesn't want to come back, then he won't come back. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I can't care about that at my age!"
After saying that, he blinked twice at Ke Xin and chuckled, "When are you going to get me a few jars of your fruit wine? I've got a craving for it."
Sure enough, the old ginger is still spicy. He doesn't care about his grandson's affairs and only cares about satisfying his own mouth.
Ke Xin raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll get you a few jars tomorrow, just for you to drink."
The grandfather and grandson smiled at each other, drank tea and talked. Seeing this scene from afar, everyone thought that the two were friends regardless of age.
