Chapter 120 : Encountering the Plague God on the First Day of Work

Su Xieqiu ignored these people and let the two children play nearby while she sat and started peeling corn.

Han Meili glared at her with disdain and muttered to Zhang Qianyun, “If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to go out. She still had the nerve to bring those two little bastards out. How shameless.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a corn cob hit her shoulder.

Yang Meili jumped up in pain, stood up, and cursed, “Su Xieqiu, you bitch, you lunatic, I’m going to go back and tell my mother that you hit me.”

“Don’t even mention telling your mother. I’m not afraid even if you tell your father. They are nothing in my eyes.”

Su Xieqiu snorted and laughed, then looked at her and Zhang Qianyun, saying coldly, “Watch your stinky mouths. If I hear you talking nonsense behind my back again, I’ll tear your mouths apart.”

She had originally planned to work for a few days just to pretend to be busy, then find an excuse to stop coming after a while.

Who would have thought that she’d run into these two troublemakers while peeling corn? What bad luck!

Zhang Qianyun lowered her head and didn’t speak. Her image outside had always been that of a gentle young wife. She always did things behind people’s backs and never confronted others directly.

But Han Meili was different. She had no scheming thoughts. Everything showed on her face, and she had a very strong personality.

Whether at home or outside, Meili never backed down.

Now, Su Xieqiu was scolding and throwing things in front of so many people, and Zhang Qianyun was so angry her teeth were itching.

But she knew she couldn’t beat Su Xieqiu. She looked at Zhang Qianyun next to her, her eyes turned, and she said in a low voice

“Second sister-in-law, you were slapped so many times by her before, aren’t you angry? Why don’t we take this opportunity to teach her a lesson? Otherwise, I really can’t swallow this anger.”

At her words, Zhang Qianyun’s suppressed hatred surged up.

Before the family split up, all the housework was done by Su Xieqiu, and she even asked her to wash her clothes.

But ever since Su Xieqiu separated from that gangster, almost all the housework had fallen on her shoulders.

Han Zhenhua was like most men in the village, good at farm work but rarely did housework. When he got home, he’d just lie on the bed and never think about helping his wife.

Meanwhile, Su Xieqiu’s life had gotten better and better after the separation. She lived in a big tiled house and didn’t have to work.

Even her gangster husband had become an enviable regular employee.

Now, which of the young girls and wives in the village, including the female educated youth, didn’t secretly envy her?

Zhang Qianyun glanced at Su Xieqiu from a distance.

The woman’s complexion was getting better because she no longer had to work in the fields under the scorching sun.

Her skin was as white as a peeled egg, and there was charm in her eyebrows and eyes.

Zhang Qianyun’s eyes turned red with envy, and she peeled the corn more and more vigorously.

But she was more patient and scheming than Han Meili.

Although she wished Su Xieqiu would die, she dared not show it on her face, and would never confront her in front of others.

Han Meili was very unhappy when she saw Zhang Qianyun lowering her head and not saying anything.

She felt that this second sister-in-law was really useless. She could even endure being slapped in the face. She had no future at all.

She put on a stern face, pouted her lips, and ignored Zhang Qianyun.

Zhang Qianyun saw that she was angry but didn’t care.

Anyway, this sister-in-law gets angry many times a day, so she just needed to say a few nice words to coax her.

Zhang Qianyun continued peeling the corn, head down, and then looked up at Su Xieqiu.

Seeing her talking and laughing with the two kids, Zhang Qianyun curled her lips in disdain.

Raising someone else’s children for just 100 yuan was just the beginning.

She couldn’t help but glance at Su Xieqiu’s fair face, gritting her teeth in jealousy. She wished she could go over and scratch that face.

When Zhang Qianyun heard the cheerful laughter of Su Xieqiu and the two children, she could no longer suppress the envy and jealousy in her heart.

She looked at her sister-in-law next to her, still unhappy, and smiled, pulling her sleeve. She whispered, “Are you still angry?”

Han Meili turned her head away and ignored her.

Zhang Qianyun had already figured out her temper and just smiled at her little tantrum.

She moved a little closer to Han Meili and whispered, “Meili, it’s not that I don’t agree with you, but think about it. If the two of us beat her up, how will people look at us? They’ll definitely say we are bullying her.”

Seeing that Han Meili looked a little better, Zhang Qianyun continued, “Here’s what I think. Didn’t she hit you first? If you’re really angry, just hit her back. I’ll pretend to separate you and help you deal with her.”

Han Meili glanced at her and thought her mother was right. This second sister-in-law was becoming more and more cunning and wasn’t at all in sync with their family.

Her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind. She said to Zhang Qianyun, “Sister-in-law, I’m still young. I’m not as good as you in fighting. I definitely can’t beat that bitch. Why don’t you go beat her up and I’ll mediate later?”

Zhang Qianyun sneered inwardly. Han Meili really had a good plan in mind, wanting her to be the one upfront.

She pretended to hesitate and said, “But Su Xieqiu hit you just now. I can’t hit her for no reason. If outsiders see it, they’ll say that our family is unreasonable.”

Han Meili said as if it were obvious, “You’re my second sister-in-law. Why can’t you participate?”

Zhang Qianyun was so angry that her teeth itched, but she still smiled and coaxed her, “Meili, no matter what, we still have to call her sister-in-law. I can’t take action first. But you’re different. You’re the sister-in-law, and you’re also young. If you fight with her, the villagers won’t say anything about you. They’ll only say she’s bullying the weak, that she’s ruthless even to her own sister-in-law. If I go over to help you, no one will say anything.”

Han Meili was young and, after hearing her talk, immediately became eager to act.

Zhang Qianyun saw her expression and smiled smugly to herself. You little fool, you’re still too naive to play tricks on me.

“Sister-in-law, should I go over now?” Han Meili asked, a little nervous, but also excited.

Zhang Qianyun glanced around and whispered, “Do you want to get a stick or something?”

Although Zhang Qianyun was also annoyed with Han Meili, she still hoped that she would win this time.

She wanted Han Meili to severely punish Su Xieqiu and help her vent her anger.

Han Meili nodded and found a small branch nearby.

Maybe she was preparing for a fight. Her heart beat faster. She held the small stick tightly in her hand and imagined the scene of Su Xieqiu being beaten.
