Chapter 24
The onlookers were talking to each other, but they didn't take Old Man Jiang's words to heart at all.
Mrs. Jiang, who was sitting on the ground and acting recklessly, didn't know whether she should continue crying or not.
"What are you all talking about? It's Jiang Qiuniang who is abusing me, my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Jiang miserably wiped away her tears and continued to accuse Jiang Qiuniang: "Jiang Qiuniang, that broomstick, just killed my second son, and even encouraged that crazy girl Baoya to beat me and take away the edible food in my house.
They all moved into her room."
"There are only five chickens in the house. Yesterday, I killed three of them in one day. I didn't even see a hair on them. I was hungry all night."
Several families who came to see the excitement looked at each other. They also smelled the aroma of meat yesterday and thought that one of them had become rich and was willing to eat meat.
I didn’t expect Mrs. Jiang to be generous for once.
But who would believe what she said?
The ones who can't even eat chicken feathers should be Jiang and the others, right?
It's not that they don't believe it, it's that Mrs. Jiang has gone too far in the past few years, and they all see what Mrs. Jiang does in their eyes.
Daughters-in-law who are both members of the Jiang family dare not say anything about the same thing, but people who have mothers-in-law will more or less make a comparison in their hearts.
After all, compared with people who are worse than my mother-in-law, it can bring some light to the hard life.
"Qiu Niang treats you harshly? Who would believe it?"
Mrs. Jiang is anxious, why don't they believe her?
Baozhu opened the window, stuck his head out, and looked at Old Mrs. Jiang in the yard with his big almond eyes: "That's not right, there will be no more chickens today."
After saying that, he grinned and said to the aunts standing at the door: "Auntie came to my house to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms at noon. My second sister went to the mountains early in the morning to look for fungi."
"Hey, isn't this a little treasure? Why do you feel that your speech has become more fluent?"
It was the first time that Chunhua saw Baozhu calling someone, and Chunhua looked surprised.
Looking at Baozhu's rare clean little face, I feel cute inexplicably.
She didn't believe it when her man said that Bao Ya recovered from her illness after falling into the water.
Looking at the orb in front of me, his eyes are clear, even a little bright, and he doesn't look like a fool.
"Aunt Chuncao, I advise you not to bother yourself. Who doesn't know that you even dare to go to a brothel with your own granddaughter? Who would believe it if you cry and howl here."
The spectators said disdainfully.
He glanced at the yard a few times: "Besides, Qiu Niang is not at home, who are you crying for?"
Baozhu covered her small mouth and narrowed her big eyes, feeling extremely happy.
It seems that Mrs. Jiang's reputation for treating her daughter-in-law harshly has become well-known in the village. Jiang Qiuniang is worried that she will get the reputation of not being filial to her elders. She is just worried.
"That's right, isn't it just eating a few of her chickens? As for crying to death? She and my uncle wanted to sell my second sister to a brothel, but I didn't even cry much."
Baozhu puffed out his cheeks and nodded like he was pounding garlic.
Look how nice and well-behaved I am, I didn’t even cry like this.
Grandma is so embarrassed.
"Grandma Hao, look at my breasts, they cry every time. My father must have cried to death because of my breasts."
Pointing at Mrs. Jiang, Baozhu pouted her lips and said firmly: "Whose family has nothing to do and cries every day?"
People only cry when they are dead. According to her way of crying, isn't it just mourning?
When Granny Hao heard what Baozhu said, she took a closer look and found out that this was really the case.
Doesn't Mrs. Jiang, who sits on the ground constantly, pats her thighs and howls, just cry once every three days?
What do their people hate the most?
This old lady Jiang, obviously because of her age, still blamed Qiuniang for killing her son.
"Baoya is right. Chun Cao, you are no better than a child at your age. You really disgrace us as mothers-in-law."
Who doesn’t go from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law?
Grandma Hao was a child bride when she was a child. She was often criticized by her mother-in-law. When she got older, she was beaten by her mother-in-law and her husband to have a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, her body was damaged and she was unable to have children.
After that, she almost got divorced. Fortunately, she was blessed with good fortune. Her mother-in-law and husband passed away one after another, leaving her alone in the family. But good times also came.
Because my husband is dead and my mother-in-law is gone too.
Granny Hao also saw through the patriarchal attitude of her family, and she might be sold again when she goes back.
So I asked the village chief to adopt a child from the Jiang family.
Now that the baby is eighteen, he is engaged to a girl from the next village. Calculating the time, the marriage can be arranged by the end of this year.
"Hey, Old Mrs. Hao, this is my family's business, there's no need for you to meddle in it."
Mrs. Jiang saw that she had been crying for a long time, but she was stunned that no one came to speak for her.
Suddenly I felt it was boring and got up from the ground.
He poured out all the anger he had accumulated in the past two days on Granny Hao.
"Who are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf here? Who doesn't know that when you were young, you were often insulted by your mother-in-law? Who didn't come here like this?"
She can endure these hardships.
Why can’t Jiang Qiuniang eat it?
What kind of nonsense is this? I have suffered the same hardships, and I want my daughter-in-law to suffer again.
Granny Hao was so angry that she pointed at her for a long time before saying: "Haha, be careful if you die, no one will die."
"It's a joke, I have my boss to send me off to death, why do I need her to send me off as a broom star?"
Mrs. Jiang sneered. From the bottom of her heart, she despised Jiang Qiuniang.
At the beginning, she clearly valued the daughter of her natal sister-in-law, but her second brother wanted to go against her and marry Jiang Qiuniang, an orphan girl. This made her unable to hold her head high even when she returned to her natal family.
It's strange that she could like Jiang Qiuniang.
In the past, when the second son was still alive, she could still consider the second son's face and not dare to go too far, but now it is different.
As long as Jiang Qiuniang stays in the Jiang family for a day, it is not up to her, the mother-in-law, to decide whether she is good or bad.
Jiang Qiuniang, who was returning from fetching water from the river, happened to hear Mrs. Jiang's words that she did not want her to take care of her until she died, and her face turned extremely ugly.
She always knew that her mother-in-law didn't want to see her.
She didn't expect to say such words today. She carried water and lowered her eyebrows into the yard.
Pour the water into the water tank and look at your originally delicate hands covered with calluses, which makes you feel even more tired.
She originally thought that as long as she respected her well, her mother-in-law would one day accept her, but she didn't expect...
Tears couldn't help but drip down her cheeks and fell into the water tank, causing a series of water ripples.
Thinking of everything she had experienced over the years, she had already made a decision in her heart, wiped away her tears and walked out.
Grandma Hao looked at her with a worried look, opened her mouth, and finally could only sigh.
Qiuniang is a good, pure and filial child, but unfortunately... Mrs. Jiang is not a good mother-in-law.
