Looking at her mother-in-law on the ground and then at her children, Guo felt a terrible headache coming on.
In the end, everyone took their children home. What could they do? Li had cursed and got sprayed with saliva; who could she blame but herself? She had to suffer the consequences.
They're already being kind by not blaming her.
Li couldn't accept that Zhao Dashu's family had left; she had actually wasted her time in the latrine!
"Aaaaaah!"
Zhao Dayong looked at his wife, who was going crazy, helplessly. "Don't be angry. Go and change your clothes quickly. What if you catch a cold in this cold weather? I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water. You go and take a shower."
It smells so bad, I can't leave it unwashed, otherwise the odor won't go away.
Zhao Dayong took a step back, feeling inexplicably repulsed at the thought of sleeping on the same kang (heated brick bed) with Li Shi that night.
"Master, they've gone too far! They've really gone too far!"
"Alright, you can only blame yourself for your sharp tongue. You knew Xiaoyu's two kids were coming to our house to play, why did you scold them?"
Li was furious. "I only started cursing when I saw them. Look at their long clothes, they make me angry just looking at them."
“Our Erzhuzi’s kids don’t look bad either.”
“But Dazhuzi has no children! Sanzhuzi is still unmarried, he’s not married yet!” Li Shi roared as she sat on the ground.
Zhao Dayong frowned. No wonder Erzhuzi said that; even he felt that Li Shi had changed a lot. Her temper was so fiery that she was not like a normal person.
"Let's change our clothes first."
Li couldn't stand how disgusting she felt, so she got up and went inside.
The little girl huddled by the doorway, terrified that her mother would see her and beat her. Just moments ago, her mother had told her to take care of Xiaoqi and the others, saying she should keep an eye on them and make sure they didn't fall or get hurt.
"father!"
The girl sidled up to the kitchen and helped boil water.
Zhao Dayong sighed deeply, "Don't pay attention to your mother's scolding; she's been a bit short-tempered lately."
"I know."
His daughter is not young anymore and can help with a lot of housework. She will be getting married in a few years. Sometimes he really doesn't want to be too harsh on her, since she is the only one who can help at home now.
After she got married, almost only the two of them, plus Sanzhuzi who was never home, and their eldest son who didn't work. None of their grandchildren were around. Just thinking about it made her feel miserable.
Sigh, I'll have to talk to my wife later and tell her not to lose her temper with our daughter so easily. She's been good enough. I don't want our daughter to resent us and not want to come back to her parents' home after she gets married.
To put it bluntly, this is entirely her own fault.
"I'll take a bucket for your mother to wash with, and you can continue cooking."
"Okay, Dad, it would be best to have Mom rinse it first at the back of the house."
Zhao Dayong thought his daughter was right, but it was too cold now, what a pity.
I don't even know how much soapberry will cost.
It took Li a good ten buckets of water to clean herself up.
He was disgusted by his own dirty clothes, so he picked them up and handed them to his daughter, saying, "Go to the well and wash them for me later."
The little girl dared not disobey, and said, "Okay."
When Zhao Xiaoyu got home, she didn't say anything, but just made the two children stand in the corner as punishment and told them not to play with firecrackers anymore.
Thinking about it carefully, the child didn't do anything wrong except for secretly playing with firecrackers. He knew how to protect his family and even avenged them when they heard others scolding them. There wasn't much wrongdoing.
The two children thought they would get a spanking, but when they heard that they only had to stand in the corner as punishment, they stood obediently in the corner without saying a word.
Guo and Erzhuzi closed the door tightly and began to scold their daughter.
The girl stood there without saying a word. If she talked back when her mother was scolding her, she would only get scolded. Once she finished nagging, everything would be fine.
