Zhang Hai actually never thought that such a day would come. He never thought that he would need to protect his wife and daughter in such a way and get the fair treatment he expected.
But today, he has no choice.
In comparison, Jiang Chen didn't have so many worries.
The field is ready.
The nursery fields are ready for use.
After Zhang Hai left, he ran to the paddy field with a spade on his back and looked at the heavy ears of rice that were about to be harvested and the dragonflies flying over the rice fields.
When I got home, I took out the mustard seeds, carefully sown them in the seedling field, and then watered them again.
Done, it was almost time. The sun was setting late, the cows were mooing, and the sunset dyed half of the sky red, indicating that it would be good weather again tomorrow. He went home, washed up briefly, and started cooking.
how to say?
Fortunately, it didn't last long and I didn't feel particularly lonely.
He felt that he had too many chickens. There were thirty-seven from the original owner's family and Tang Wan's family. He had to pick up more than a dozen eggs every day. Those roosters kept fighting, so he caught a big one.
Rooster.
In this way, dinner's dishes are ready.
I just ate pickled fish and pickled chicken. There were two people on either side, and he couldn't finish the food if there were more.
The rice is still firewood rice, served with rice soup.
Taking advantage of the break, he pulled out sweet potato vines, chopped them into pieces, and cooked a pot of pig food with rice bran and brown rice.
He is a very rich man now.
He has three pigs, all native black pigs, weighing 156.
He also has a sow, also a native breed, that is pregnant and expected to give birth by the end of the year.
Feed the pigs.
Collect eggs.
Chickens and ducks are put into cages.
After washing up again, the food was put on the table and ready to start.
The Zhang Hai family's farce also unfolded at this time.
"God, what evil have I done that you want to do this to me?"
"I'm not alive anymore. I'm not alive anymore. Don't stop me!"
"..."
It's like singing in an opera, sitting on the ground and crying.
This is Zhang Hai’s mother, Xiang Zhen…
On the side, Li Fang put her hands on her hips and pointed at Zhang Haiyangmei and cursed. Then Zhang Rengui took a pole and was so angry that he was pulled and persuaded by the people in the team.
Yang Mei held her daughter Zhang Ting in her arms, wiping away tears while talking about what happened at home in the past few years, and many people around her tried to persuade her.
Zhang Hai and his eldest brother Zhang Tao had already had a fight, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They were still scolding each other. If someone hadn't pulled them, they would probably start fighting again.
Jiang Chen: "..."
What did he say?
Didn't you say it carefully? Is there any misunderstanding here?
Suddenly I felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he was alone. Even with Tang Wan and Tang Xiao, there wasn't that much of a mess.
But he was destined not to stay out of it.
Because in the final analysis, this incident started because of him, and he was the trigger.
As soon as he arrived, before he could understand the fuss, the woman who was sitting on the ground crying and crying climbed up to him and kowtowed: "Jiang Chen, you came just in time, please let our family go, please let our family go.
I kowtow to you, and my old lady kowtows to you..."
It's a real knock.
Jiang Chen's scalp felt numb.
The original owner had such a scene in his memory. Because of poverty, many elderly women would do this.
Essentially, this is to avoid being bullied and not to make people feel bullied. It is a survival skill.
But in real life, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, or there is a dispute between neighbors, whether there is a reason or not, first lie down on the ground, then lie down at the door, and cry loudly before talking.
Therefore, don’t you sympathize?
No.
not at all.
The woman was kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if he had really done something to her and their family, but he only felt noisy.
It's also a bit disgusting and looks disgusting.
At this time, someone advised me, forget it, why bother? It’s not necessary that Yangmei should go there, don’t let others break it up!
Others say to be considerate and considerate, that is because the elders have suffered a lot in recent years and it is not easy.
Others simply said, "Jiang Chen, why are you like this? Hurry up and help me. Are you embarrassed to ask your aunt to kowtow to you?"
Jiang Chen...
"It's not my business?"
"I didn't let her knock. If you feel bad, you can do it yourself. Otherwise, you can just use something to cushion her."
An understatement.
Don't think that I have to let you go as you get older.
Don't think you can kidnap me from the moral high ground.
I am born in the 2000s, so I don’t like this.
After finishing his words, under the astonished eyes of the crowd, Jiang Chen waved again and said: "Tingting, follow uncle, uncle's house has delicious food."
Tingting looked at her mother, wanting to go, but didn't move.
It wasn't until Yang Mei wiped away her tears and said yes with a smile. After coaxing her for a while, she walked over to Jiang Chen on her short legs.
Jiang Chen picked her up, praised her with a smile, and turned around: "Zhang Hai, hurry up, the food will be gone if you're late."
After saying this, Shi Shiran left amid the so-called accusations made by some people.
Almost an hour later, when the sky darkened and the moon was in the sky, the tired young couple came over, carrying bedding and a bucket.
Jiang Chen was happy: "Hey, what are you doing, being kicked out?"
Tingting came forward holding a white pear that had been chewed to pieces: "Mom and dad eat..."
Yang Mei didn't say anything, she just put down her things and knelt down, rubbing the little girl's head and laughing.
I smiled and laughed, but couldn't help crying.
Zhang Hai was still angry. After hearing this, he touched the blood stains on the corner of his mouth and said bitterly: "Come out, separate the families, and live their own lives."
In fact, this is the norm.
Let alone the countryside, even in the city, how many daughters-in-law are willing to live with their parents-in-law after marrying them?
It's like a chicken and a dog, and there are many contradictions.
It's just that the son and daughter-in-law are usually the ones who are so strong that they want to separate the family, and then the old parents are kicked out of the house after the separation.
In Zhang Hai's family, the old father and mother were relatively strong, and they refused to give in. The three members of Zhang Hai's family were kicked out after they were divided.
Jiang Chen didn't find it strange either.
Although he had never experienced it, the original owner remembered that there were many similar things in the countryside.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, the daughter-in-law breaks up the family, and the son fights against his parents for his daughter-in-law...
Too much.
Not fresh, not fresh at all.
Hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's okay to divide it up, that's it. Let's put down the things and wash up and eat!"
After saying that, I opened the fire again and made a leek omelette, a bowl of fried lentils, a bowl of braised winter melon, and opened two bottles of beer before eating.
The atmosphere is okay.
Yang Mei didn't say anything about her husband's family, and Zhang Hai didn't mention it either.
The loudest thing on the table was Tingting's laughter, because in the past, she had nothing to do with killing chickens. The two chicken legs always belonged to her brother and sister, so she could only watch and eat some chicken livers and intestines.
Even eggs.
In rural areas, eggs are not easily eaten, so they have to save money from selling them to buy laundry detergent and soap.
Occasionally, she can only eat a little bit.
But this time I can eat whatever I want.
But Zhang Hai is still a little sad.
After Yang Mei and Tingting had finished eating and sat down from the table, he opened up his chatterbox. He was a manly man with a two-year-old baby. He drank wine, ate vegetables, and cried while talking.
Jiang Chen felt that he was very happy.
Because these are far away from him.
Because he was still a child when he was nineteen years old and had just entered college...
