Chapter 129 : Prepare to Take Sides

Sun Dashu and Han Lei were also picking corn today.

However, they were working with the men in the team, so they didn’t know what was happening here, but their wives heard about it.

Yu Xiuhua and Li Lanying knew that Yang Lanhua was going to cause trouble for Su Xieqiu.

The two of them also planned to go and see, so they could take sides if a fight broke out.

Aunt Qiuye and Aunt Aihua, who were on good terms with Su Xieqiu, were very gossipy.

The two were also the first to know that Su Xieqiu had beaten her sister-in-law and brother’s wife.

Looking at Han Meili and Zhang Qianyun’s swollen faces, they almost laughed out loud.

The two were originally preparing to go back to cook, but thinking that they still had some friendship with Su Xieqiu, and since they knew that Yang Lanhua was going to bring people to beat her, they felt that they could not just sit back and watch.

So they planned to go over and take a look, then quietly take sides.

Other women who shared the same idea as them included those who were on good terms with the sisters Yang Lanhua and Yang Chunhua.

Today, all the educated youth were harvesting beans. After working the whole morning, everyone was exhausted, especially the new female educated youth. Some of them even cried from exhaustion.

Su Xieyun looked at the blisters on her hands, tears streaming down her face.

She decided not to go back in the afternoon. There was another person, Wen Lina, who had the same idea as her.

Both of them came from well-off families and received subsidies every month, so they didn’t have to worry about food if they didn’t work.

When the two went to ask the team leader for leave, they learned that Yang Lanhua was leading people to deal with Su Xieqiu.

Su Xieyun was so excited at the time that she didn’t care about the pain in her hands. She came back and told the other educated youth about it.

Zhang Xiujuan, who came with her to the countryside, glanced at her and said sarcastically, “Isn’t Su Xieqiu your cousin? When others beat her up, you didn’t say you’d go help, but you’re here gloating over her misfortune?”

Then she curled her lips and said contemptuously, “No wonder Su Xieqiu didn’t let you live in his house. It turns out he knows what kind of person you are.”

Su Xieyun’s face turned red from the retort, but Zhang Xiujuan was good with words and strong.

She couldn’t argue with her, let alone fight her, so she could only bluff and say, “Hmph, who wants to live in her house?”

Zhang Xiujuan didn’t want to pay attention to her anymore. She grabbed the sickle and took two quick steps, not wanting to listen to her causing trouble.

Su Xieyun rolled her eyes at her back and started gossiping with Miao Lili and the others.

Miao Lili and Shen Wanxia were educated youth who came to Sanhua Brigade with Su Xieqiu.

Both of them had a good relationship with Sun Yuexian and Cao Min, so they didn’t like Su Xieqiu and thought she was seductive.

Even Liu Huajun, who had the best conditions in the Youth League Institute, only paid attention to her and didn’t even look at the other female educated youth.

So the other female educated youth were very jealous, but they couldn’t tell anyone else about it, so they had to find other reasons to discredit Su Xieqiu.

Now that they heard that someone was going to deal with her, Miao Lili and Shen Wanxia were very happy.

Miao Lili suppressed her excitement and said, “Let’s go over and take a look. After all, she’s an educated youth like us. Let’s see if she can help.”

“Okay.” Su Xieyun and Qin Yao lived in the same room with her. They knew that she and Shen Wanxia both hated Su Xieqiu, and they would go just to watch the fun and definitely not to help, so they nodded in agreement.

The other female educated youth didn’t know Su Xieqiu, but after hearing the old educated youth’s evaluation of her, they felt that this person might be a little troublesome and difficult to get along with.

Now she heard that her mother-in-law was going to bring people to deal with her, so she wanted to go along and see what was going on.

As for helping? They had never thought about it, and since they had no relationship with them, others might not need them.

Su Xieqiu and her friends had just finished their meal and were sitting in the yard talking when they heard banging on the door and then remembered Tiezhu’s anxious voice.

“Aunt, Uncle Zhenyu’s stepmother brought people to beat you up. My mother asked you to go out and hide. You should leave quickly, because they will be here soon.”

Everyone who was speaking stood up.

Su Xieqiu smiled and opened the door, asking, “Tiezhu, how many people are there?”

Tiezhu shook his head. “I don’t know. There are several of them. I think there are Dabao’s grandmother, his mother, and his aunt.”

Su Xieqiu knew that the Dabao he was talking about was Yang Chunhua’s grandson, and that Yang Chunhua and her two daughters-in-law must have come as well.

These people were all within Su Xieqiu’s expectations. If she guessed correctly, there should be a few who would take sides.

“I see, Tiezhu, thank you for coming to inform me. You’ve worked all morning, go back and rest.”

Seeing that she was not in a hurry and did not mention leaving, Tiezhu said anxiously, “Aunt, you should take Chenchen and An an and run quickly, otherwise it will be too late.”

Seeing that he was more anxious than herself, Su Xieqiu opened the door a little, pointed at the people in the yard, and said with a smile “Tiezhu, don’t worry, Auntie has helpers, so she’s not afraid of them.”

Tiezhu stared at the people in the yard in a daze, then touched his head and said embarrassedly, “I understand, Auntie, I’m leaving now.”

“Okay, go ahead.” Su Xieqiu waited for him to leave and then closed the door again.

Grandpa Du said, “Those who come here should be women. We men should not come forward, let the women take charge.”

He glanced at Chenchen and An an, who were playing on the swings. Knowing the backgrounds of the two children, he didn’t want to make a big scene. This was also what Zhenyu’s wife had just discussed with him.

He said that this time, he wanted to scare them and also shock the villagers. After all, their family had just built a big tiled house, and there were many who were jealous of them.

This incident would make those short-sighted people in the village think twice so that they wouldn’t believe that their family had no one to support them.

Grandpa Du warned the women in the family, “Don’t hit them too hard, a little skin injury is fine.”

“I know, we know what’s going on.” Du Chunmin smiled and nodded. Who among these rural women hasn’t fought before? They all have experience.

Su Xieqiu originally wanted to teach them where it would hurt the most when she hit them, but then she heard her aunt teaching her two daughters-in-law how to hit.

Grandma and Second Grandma would occasionally add a comment, and it was obvious that they had practical experience, so she just kept quiet.
