Chen Dawang frowned, with a heavy and struggling expression on his face.
He looked at his mother and then at his wife and daughter. He thought about a lot of things from childhood to adulthood.
The warmth of the father, the harshness of the mother, the entrustment of the father, the oppression of the mother, the anger and grievance of the wife and daughter.
Jiang Chunxiu was very unhappy when he saw his hesitation, "What else do you have to hesitate? You are my son, you deserve mine."
In Jiang Chunxiu's eyes, her eldest son is an honest piece of wood. The more aggressive she is, the more obedient he will be.
"If you dare not give me anything today and listen to Chen Zhaozhao, this money-losing guy, I will let everyone in the village know how unfilial you are, and I will let the villagers scold you to death."
Jiang Chunxiu continued to threaten them fiercely. She believed that her eldest son would not want the villagers to scold them louder unless he no longer wanted to live in the village.
She felt that she had eaten Chen Dawang to death.
Little did he know that every word she said now struck the most painful point in Chen Dawang's heart.
Did he deserve her? Why did he deserve her?
Let the whole village curse them to death?
She was his mother, but as long as he could remember, she had been scolding him, making the people in the village scold him too.
When he got married and gave birth to a daughter, she scolded him even harder.
If it weren't for her, the people in the village would never look down on their family like they do now, wouldn't ridicule them behind their backs, and wouldn't exclude them like that.
It can be said that most of the suffering in his life was caused by her.
She made him suffer, and he had no complaints, but she definitely shouldn't treat Zhao Zhao like that.
He felt that what his youngest daughter said was right. If she was not good to him, there was no need for him to provide for her.
After thinking about it, Chen Dawang said: "Mom, what Zhaozhao means is what I mean."
"What did you say?" Jiang Chunxiu was stunned. She never expected that Chen Dawang would answer like this.
"I make the decision in this family, and what Zhaozhao says is what I want to say." Chen Dawang's plain voice was full of determination.
He took Chen Zhaozhao's words personally and spread them out, and everyone just scolded him.
He doesn't need his reputation. It doesn't matter if he is scolded, but Zhao Zhao must try his best to maintain it. He can't let Zhao Zhao be scolded.
"You, do you really want to be so heartless?" Jiang Chunxiu asked bitterly.
Chen Dawang nodded firmly.
If the mother wants to tell the whole village that he is unfilial, then she can tell him. If he is filial, won't he get a good word in exchange for it?
"Okay, okay, okay, you..." Jiang Chunxiu pointed at Chen Dawang and Chen Zhaozhao fiercely, "You are really going to rebel, just wait."
Jiang Chunxiu walked out with a grunt.
"You guys really went too far. You are a bunch of white-eyed wolves. I can't survive you, bah!" Li Mei also cursed fiercely and chased Jiang Chunxiu away.
I came here happily, thinking that I would definitely have meat to eat tonight, but I ended up feeling very angry.
Jiang Chunxiu and Li Mei left cursing. Jiang Chunxiu's voice was loud and she walked from the end of the village to her home in the middle of the village. Along the way, the people in the village knew what happened from her cursing.
The villagers who were amusing themselves with old topics immediately refreshed the topic.
Someone said: "Old Mrs. Jiang is really thick-skinned. She even made such a fuss with Chen Dawang and the others and yet she had the nerve to go to their house and eat meat."
"That's right~ If it were me, I would be embarrassed. If I were Chen Dawang, they wouldn't do it either. She still has the nerve to curse, isn't it embarrassing?"
"Speaking of which, Chen Dawang and the others actually knew how to reject her. They have really changed a lot."
"What Mrs. Jiang has done is beyond their endurance. Who is Wang Erniu? If anyone dares to scheme against my daughter like this, I will fight him to the death."
But some people say.
"Chen Dawang and the others are really heartless. They got so many things. No matter what, Mrs. Jiang is his mother, so she should give some."
"That's right, how can you enjoy your own blessings and not care about your mother and brothers? No matter what, they are the dearest people to you. Not only do you not give me anything but you scold them, it's so unfilial."
"Filial piety? You haven't seen how Mrs. Jiang is a mother. What's so filial about that kind of person?"
"No matter what Mrs. Jiang does, it's right to give birth to him and raise him, right? In the end, you won't give mom a bite of meat, right?"
"Has Mrs. Jiang not taken enough meat from them over the years?"
The people in the village had two opinions, and everyone was quarreling.
When Jiang Chunxiu returned home, she was so angry that she smashed another bamboo chair. After hearing Li Mei's jealous words, Chen Sanwang was so angry that he wanted to trouble Chen Zhaozhao and the others.
Chen Erwang stopped the person again and comforted Jiang Chunxiu, "Mom, don't be angry. If he doesn't give us meat this time, then we must give him a gift next time."
The main reason why the eldest brother didn't give me meat this time was because he listened to Chen Zhaozhao's instigation. When she gets married, the eldest brother will listen to you."
"Chen Zhaozhao, you lose money." Chen Sanwang roared angrily, as if he wanted to strangle Chen Zhaozhao to death.
Chen Erwang glanced at him and continued to persuade Jiang Chunxiu: "Mom, don't conflict with them again before you get the bride price, just follow them. Didn't Chen Zhaozhao say that you are not good to them?
Then from now on we will be nice to them, and they will have nothing to say when we see it."
"Erwang's words make sense." Jiang Chunxiu cursed and smashed a chair all the way. Now hearing Chen Erwang's words, most of his anger was gone.
She decided to follow Chen Erwang's advice, but she got angry when she saw Chen Zhaozhao and couldn't help but get angry when she heard what she said. It was really difficult to be nice to them.
But for the sake of the bride price, she must hold back next time.
As soon as Jiang Chunxiu's anger subsided, Sun Hong's voice came from outside.
Jiang Chunxiu was not happy to see Sun Hong now. He frowned when he saw her, "Why is Sister Sun here?"
Sun Hong smiled, pushed the fence door open and came in, "Sister Jiang~ I came to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chunxiu felt a little scared when she saw Sun Hong's smile.
Sun Hong quickly walked into the main room and saw everyone in the old Chen family saying "Yo" and saying, "Everyone is here."
The weather is cold, and there is still some time before dinner. Normally, Jiang Chunxiu's five grandchildren would be playing outside at this time, especially the four who have not yet married. On days when they are not working, they hang out every day without having a meal and never come home.
But today, because she was waiting for Jiang Chunxiu to get meat from Chen Zhaozhao's house, she didn't go out. Even those who went out came back.
Now they are all gathered around the brazier in the main room to warm themselves up. When they saw Sun Hong, after listening to her words and thinking about the meat that could not be eaten, they all said hello to her with a sullen face.
Sun Hong saw that they were in low spirits and laughed, "What's wrong? Are you both so lethargic?"
Jiang Chunxiu always felt that Sun Hong asked this question on purpose, so he glanced at her and said, "I didn't get any meat."
"Hey~ It's just about eating meat~" Sun Hong looked relaxed, "That's very simple~"
Everyone in Lao Chen's family suddenly became energetic and looked at her questioningly.
Eating meat is definitely the biggest temptation for them now, especially when they thought about having a big meal tonight, but ended up with nothing.
They were so greedy when they heard the word "eating meat" that Chen Sanwang's two sons even swallowed their saliva.
Seeing them like this, Sun Hong smiled even brighter and asked deliberately: "Want to know?"
