Cheng Xiangchun was already old but still acted so pitiful, which really disgusted Cheng Mingyue.
Cheng Xiangchun cried and complained to the village chief:
"Brother, I was so hungry that I just ate a few eggs, but Fatty pointed at my nose and scolded me. I am still your sister and she is your aunt. How could she treat me like that?"
Cheng Xiangchun's voice rose a few notches, and the person eavesdropping at the door happened to hear it.
Those people started to grumble again.
Some people were discussing the injuries on Cheng Xiangchun's face.
"I just saw Cheng Xiangchun being beaten so miserably. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he went back to the village."
"She deserves it, doesn't she? She was so desperate to marry into the Baiyang Brigade, and now she's suffering like this, it's all her own fault!"
"You can't say that. She's already in such a miserable state. How can we add insult to injury? What kind of people would we be?!"
Some people were discussing the incident of Cheng Mingyue scolding Cheng Xiangchun.
"No matter how bad Cheng Xiangchun is, she is still the village chief's biological sister. Mingyue really shouldn't say that about her aunt, especially since her aunt is already in such a miserable state!"
"Who says it's not true? In China, we value seniority the most. Mingyue is in high school, so she should understand this principle, right?!"
There are also those who have a clear mind and analyze the truth of things.
"What exactly is going on? We can't just listen to Cheng Xiangchun's one-sided story. We all know very well what kind of person she is.
I don't believe Mingyue would scold her for no reason, she must have done something wrong."
"I think so too. We've all seen how Mingyue has been doing recently. But Cheng Xiangchun is weird. Didn't he say he'd cut off ties with her before? Why is he running back after being beaten?"
The villagers were talking about it, which made the village chief and his family change their expressions again and again.
The village chief, in particular, had a dark face.
"Xiangchun, if you feel Mingyue treats you badly, just go back home and stop looking for trouble."
As soon as the village chief came back, his two little grandsons told him everything that happened in the afternoon.
How could he not be angry when he heard Cheng Xiangchun's words of turning the tables?
Cheng Xiangchun was a little angry.
This is her biological brother? !
Cold-blooded, selfish! She must make them regret doing this to her.
Cheng Xiangchun was about to say something when he saw Cheng Mingyue nimbly open the gate.
Cheng Mingyue looked at the large group of people gathered at her door to watch the excitement, and pretended to be very aggrieved.
"Uncles and aunts, my aunt said before that she wanted to cut off ties with my family. She didn't even come back when my grandfather died.
This time, my father saw how pitiful she was after being beaten, so he asked my mother to clean up a room for her to live in.
She, on the other hand, fried a big bowl of eggs for herself while we were at work, and even ate half a bag of brown sugar.
That would be fine, after all, she is my father's biological sister, but she, a woman over fifty years old, actually ate alone. Xiaolong and Xiaohu just looked at her with helpless eyes, and she was reluctant to give the two children a single bite.
How can I respect such a selfish person?!"
Cheng Mingyue spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner, and everyone finally understood why Cheng Mingyue scolded Cheng Xiangchun.
If this happened to them, it would not be as simple as just scolding them, they would just kick them out.
Eggs are so precious nowadays that adults are reluctant to eat them and leave them for the elderly and children. Cheng Xiangchun, on the other hand, took advantage of others’ work and fried a big bowl of eggs to eat.
Speaking of brown sugar, it is even more expensive. Not only is it expensive, but you need sugar coupons. Apart from giving some to women in confinement after childbirth, who in the village would be willing to eat brown sugar on a normal basis?
Cheng Xiangchun even stole half a bag of brown sugar. How could a proper relative do that? Isn't that just scoundrel?!
Now that the villagers understood the whole story, they all wanted to spit in Cheng Xiangchun's face.
"What a shameless old bastard!"
"She even turned the tables and accused Mingyue of disrespecting her. She's so shameless!"
"You deserve to be beaten for ruining things like this!"
"That's right, it wouldn't be unfair if I were beaten to death!"
Cheng Xiangchun was so angry that his lungs almost exploded when he heard the villagers shouting and cursing.
It’s all the fault of this fat pig. Why doesn’t she just die?
And there are those gossipy women in the village. She just ate some eggs, they weren’t theirs, so why did they scold her!
Cheng Xiangchun hated Cheng Mingyue's family and the people in the village who were watching the fun.
Cheng Mingyue saw that the cooking time was almost right, so she cleared her throat and looked at Cheng Xiangchun:
"Aunt, let's forget about this matter. If you do this again in the future, our relationship will really be over."
Cheng Xiangchun had nothing more to say now, so he could only pretend to agree and nodded.
Seeing that it ended like this, everyone curled their lips as if they were not satisfied, but since there was no more excitement to watch, everyone dispersed.
After everyone left, the village chief looked at Cheng Xiangchun with a gloomy expression:
"Xiangchun, I hope you can remember what Yue'er said just now. If you continue to do things like this and slander Yue'er, don't blame me for not caring about our brother-sister relationship!"
Cheng Xiangchun was so angry that she could hardly breathe. After a long while, she finally responded in a low voice.
The family members then breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone disliked Cheng Xiangchun even more.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Cheng Mingyue said crisply:
"Aunt, didn't you say before that you wanted to visit the old house? Now I'm going home, do you want to go with me?!"
The Cheng family looked at Cheng Mingyue in disbelief, not understanding what she was up to.
On the contrary, Cheng Xiangchun was so excited that his whole body was trembling, and he said tremblingly:
"Girl Yue, I dream of going back to take another look at the old house. This is where I grew up. Whenever I think of the old house, I can't help but think of your grandfather..."
Cheng Mingyue interrupted Cheng Xiangchun's hypocritical words and urged:
"Aunt, let's go quickly."
"Yue'er..." Wang Guihua and the others shouted worriedly.
Cheng Mingyue gave a reassuring look to a few people and walked away with Cheng Xiangchun.
When they were almost home, Cheng Mingyue deliberately raised her voice a few notches.
This was the signal she and Lu Chen had agreed upon.
Cheng Mingyue opened the gate and let Cheng Xiangchun in, then she found an excuse to take Lu Chen to the backyard.
"Mingyue, what's going on? Why did you bring her here?"
Lu Chen had met Cheng Xiangchun the last time he was repairing the canal. At that time, he felt that this woman was simply unreasonable.
He didn't expect that Cheng Mingyue would actually take her home today. He couldn't understand why no matter how hard he tried.
"Don't ask now. I'll explain it to you after everyone leaves."
After Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, she lowered her head to feed the chicks.
Her chicks can no longer be called chicks, they should be called medium-sized chicks.
