Chapter 32 : No matter how unhappy life is, you still have to eat well

But Xiao Yi was also angry. As a grown man, didn’t he have any dignity?

Normally, in private, he would indulge and appease Liu no matter how she behaved. But today’s matter was no longer a small matter, it was a question of stance.

If she keeps making such a fuss and just obeys them blindly, sooner or later the Xiao family will make her move out and return to her parents’ home.

People in ancient times firmly believed that a daughter who was married off was like water spilled, and was already a member of the Xiao family. If she continued to support her parents’ family, it would only be a sign of chaos in the world and would only encourage her to develop bad habits.

“Okay, mother, if she wants to leave, let her go. She will be back soon.”

She is a married daughter, pregnant, and stays at her parents’ home for a long time without returning. This is unless she is not afraid of the villagers gossiping about her. Liu is such a face-conscious person, can she tolerate this?

But Xiao Yi didn’t know that the mother and her two children had already discussed it and were determined to make his mother bleed a little.

They likely thought of this retreat-to-advance strategy and planned to force it.

Soon, Liu packed her things, and her mother helped her walk out without looking back.

Liu Jiang then said: “I’m telling you, my sister is pregnant with your Xiao family’s child. If you’re not afraid of being laughed at by the villagers for having your grandchild raised by her grandmother’s family, then you should show some sincerity. If you’re not sincere enough, don’t even think about taking my sister back.”

The meaning of this sentence was very clear. If you want her to go back, then bring silver to pick her up.

This time I’m not just lending it, this time I’m asking for it openly.

After Liu Jiang made these harsh remarks, he quickly ran out of the yard to catch up with his mother and sister.

These mothers were so good that they walked around the village before leaving. Liu was crying, fearing that the villagers didn’t know she had returned to her parents’ home because she had been wronged.

Now the villagers had something interesting to watch. They were all guessing what it was about, and there were all kinds of versions.

In fact, according to the rules, it was not excessive to divorce Liu, a troublemaker like her, but although the Xiao family was angry, they did not think about it in this way.

The news was brought back by Xiao Hechuan. Today, he went to the paddy fields with a group of children from the village to dig loaches.

He dug the most, bringing back several large loaches, which he fried in oil until golden brown, then added scallions and chili powder, making them crunchy and fragrant.

They could also be used to make soup. After frying, he fried two eggs together to make the soup. The soup would be milky white and fresh.

He also saw his third sister-in-law Liu leaving crying. Everyone in the village was asking him what had happened. He then ran back with his good stuff. He had no idea what had happened before.

“Mom, what should we do? The people in this village are so talkative that they can make up any ugly stories.” Xiao Lanlan’s face was full of worry.

She was afraid because she had seen how good these people were at talking. Rumors can really kill people.

But Mother Xiao was used to these things. She was really panicked at first, but now she had figured it out and had an idea in mind

“What are you afraid of? They will do it for others to see. We will do it too. Don’t we just want the villagers to talk about us? We are not afraid. As long as we have a clear conscience, that’s all. From tomorrow on, you, the third brother, will go to your wife’s house every few days to give her eggs and meat, some cornmeal, some vegetables, etc. Given their nature, if you don’t bring money when you go, you will definitely not be welcomed. But they will definitely keep the things.”

“As long as the dishes are collected, we’ve done our duty. No matter what, we are still thinking about her and the baby in her belly, and we’re worried she won’t eat well. When the time comes, we’ll have something to say in return. As for the villagers, they can say whatever they want. We went back and forth delivering food and drinks. Everyone has eyes and can see that she’s just throwing a tantrum and refusing to come back. Who can we blame? Anyway, our family gave them face.”

Does the Liu family really want to use the child to hold the Xiao family hostage?

It’s only been a few months, and there’s still a long way to go before the baby is born. If her mother is willing to take care of her, let her. Her son is in a hurry to get married, so can she keep wasting time?

Isn’t it just a matter of patience? Their sincerity is enough.

Xiao Lanlan learned another lesson today. It was her mother who handled these things with ease.

But her fourth sister-in-law was really powerful. She could manipulate people around her and leave them speechless, making them unable to do anything but throw a tantrum.

“Fourth sister-in-law, you are really amazing. I thought you really wanted to lend them money, but it turns out you already had an excuse planned. It’s funny when I think of their desperate look. I’m angry, but I can’t do anything about it.”

In fact, it was the first time Xiao Lanlan knew that an IOU could be written like this. She learned something. If she didn’t want to lend money in the future, she could do it this way. To deal with those who wanted to be deadbeats, only the government’s words would work.

In fact, Jiang Sui was just trying to scare them at that time. Those things were just made up by her, and she was bluffing. The people in the Liu family were too cunning, and she also felt guilty. Otherwise, why would they be so scared?

Xiao Hechuan was feeling very confused as he listened to this, but he didn’t care. He only cared about whether his wife liked the loaches he dug.

“Wife, I caught some loaches especially for you. You’ll grow taller after eating them.” He was still thinking about Jiang Sui’s growth.

The more Jiang Sui looked at him, the cuter he found him. She thought it would be nice if he could always be like this. But then she changed her mind and realized that her thoughts were too selfish.

Maybe it’s because she lacked love since childhood. She lacked love, and the original Jiang Sui also lacked love, so she was particularly dependent on these hard-earned little moments of warmth.

At this moment, Mother Xiao looked at the lively loaches in the water basket and thought about using them to make soup, which would be enough for the whole family. No matter how unhappy life was, they had to eat well.

On the other side, Xiao Yi locked himself in the room and felt very depressed. He recalled the first time he met Liu she smiled shyly and spoke gently. How did she change after he married her?

After being gentle and considerate for a few days, her true colors showed. Her voice became louder, she became more thoughtless, and her words grew more sarcastic.

What he couldn’t stand the most was that her heart and mind were full of thoughts about her brothers and sisters from her mother’s side. Offering appropriate help was a favor, and it could be said that the relationship between siblings was close, but when it went too far, it became annoying.

He felt like a nobody at home or outside.

Father Xiao and the eldest and second sons continued to discuss in the yard where to find a long-term worker, while the others were busy in the kitchen.

Xiao Lanlan and Jiang Sui had endless things to talk about when they chatted, like two close friends, whispering in each other’s ears. Xiao Hechuan was making trouble on the side, always trying to eavesdrop, but he was isolated by his wife and sister, pouting and looking very unhappy.

In the corner, Zhou, who was picking cabbages, looked up at Jiang Sui from time to time, her face full of worries. No one knew what she was thinking.

This second sister-in-law is good in every way except that she is very thoughtful. If the third sister-in-law is annoying with her mouth, she can show her unhappiness on her face and say it on the spot. It’s easy to guess. But the second sister-in-law likes to think things over by herself and never shows her emotions on her face. This makes her difficult to deal with.
