Chapter 116: The Treacherous Thing
ps:
This week is a big push! Two updates every day, asking for subscription!
"Dad, didn't you go to grandma's house and ask clearly?" Qiu Ye listened to the side with extraordinary anger, what kind of human nature is this? Although they had a few quarrels with Grandma San Shu and his family, since they came, their own family was both out of money and effort. Their own family hadn't even benefited yet, but they actually sued them, what do they have to sue about?
"I went, could I not go? I was also suffocated in my heart, but what kind of temperament your grandmother is, you all know, can you explain anything to her clearly? When I and your mom went there, your mom just asked her why she did this, without blaming your grandmother yet. But your grandmother seemed to have suffered a great injustice, pointing at us and scolding, saying that we don't support the elderly, don't give them living expenses. Our family lives in a high-rise building, but let your third uncle live in a bungalow, saying that I, as an older brother, am not benevolent." After Dad finished speaking, he also had a painful expression on his face. Does this mean that to be filial, they should give all the family's belongings to Third Brother's household?
Qiu Ye also understands the painful mood of her father now, but the mood of her father and mother is still different. Her father should be more uncomfortable than her mother, being stabbed in the back by his own mother and brother, can this feeling be good?
Actually, what Qiu's father said was still an understatement. At that time, Qiu's mother didn't wait for the couple to go and reason with them, but instead scolded Qiu's father and his wife severely. The vicious words were unbearable, and they attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors who came to watch. Then, she changed her arrogant attitude and began to cry in the courtyard covered with snow. From how she had served her second son since he was young, to how he got married and had children after leaving the countryside, and how she was left behind, neglected by her own son. She brought her obedient third son and his family to rely on her second son, but they were driven out in just a few days. Homeless, her second son was useless, having forgotten his mother after getting married. He allowed his wife to abuse his own mother without even lifting a finger. Having no other choice, she went to the leader to report her second son's wrongdoings, but as a result, the couple came to fight with her again. She really couldn't live like this anymore, so she asked the neighbors to judge what was right and wrong.
At that time, Qiu's father and mother were so angry that their bodies were shaking. If they weren't in good health, they would have collapsed. Zhang Cui Lan was still standing by, not afraid of causing trouble, saying that her family members at Er Ge's house had to look at the expression on his wife's face every day, and she wouldn't even let them cook meals. They also had to keep working non-stop. Anyway, it was all about slandering Qiu's mother.
This thoroughly ignited the war fire in Qiu's mother's heart. As a daughter-in-law and a younger generation, even if she was angry, it was impossible for her to fight with an elderly person. But Zhang Cui Lan was different, always stirring up trouble without taking responsibility. Qiu's mother had long since looked down on her. Moreover, this kind of person couldn't be reasoned with, so she might as well take direct action and give her a good beating to vent her anger. It should be known that she understood the nature of her husband, three younger brothers, and their families very well, so today she came not to reason but to vent her anger.
Qiu's mother was provoked by Zhang Cui Lan's words and rushed up to her, slapping her in the face while saying: "I'll teach you a lesson now, don't treat others like fools, always causing trouble here, stirring up internal conflicts."
After slapping him once, of course, he was not relieved, and with a backhand, he slapped him again. "I told you not to do good things, thinking about scheming against our family every day."
"You're a belly full of bad water, with no distinction between inside and outside."
"I'm calling you..."
Qiu's mother took advantage of Zhang Cui Lan's momentary stunned state and slapped her hard. Qiu's mother was furious, and without holding back, she slapped several times, causing Zhang Cui Lan's face to swell up immediately.
Zhang Cuilan finally regained her strength after being slapped by Qiu Ma, and with a loud cry, she revealed her own claws, ready to counterattack. However, she was no match for Qiu Ma, who didn't usually show her fighting skills because she considered them family. Today, however, she was furious and brought out her true abilities, dealing Zhang Cuilan a severe blow and leaving an indelible mark on her face.
Zhang Cuilan came to her senses with a swollen face, she wasn't a good girl either, in her hometown she was also a fighter, how could she just take the beating now, so the two people started wrestling.
Qiu's grandma and Qiu Yansen saw Zhang Cuilan being beaten, so they wanted to go up and help. But Qiu's father couldn't let the three of them beat his wife alone, so he went forward and blocked his mother with his body, using both hands to separate his younger brother.
At that time, the situation was extremely chaotic. Qiu Ma was the ultimate winner. She had been making tofu for years and her physical strength far surpassed Zhang Cui Lan's. Later on, she overpowered Zhang Cui Lan in a fight, scratching her face until it bled, pulling out several strands of hair, and tearing her cotton-padded jacket to shreds. In short, Zhang Cui Lan was thoroughly thrashed.
After calming down, Mrs. Qiu turned around to see that her husband was not doing well over there. Mr. Qiu and Qiu Yansen were holding him back, but it didn't take much effort, just trying to stop Grandma Qiu from rushing forward to save the situation, who scratched them several times, with some blood on their faces.
Although Qiu's mother was angry, she knew in her heart that no matter whether it was her husband or herself, they could scold the Qiu Yansen family as much as they wanted, but they couldn't lay hands on Qiu Nainai. Moreover, she had vented enough and couldn't let her husband suffer a loss.
So in the end, Qiu's father was pulled away, and Qiu's grandmother wanted to go forward and grab Qiu's mother. Seeing this, Qiu's mother ran towards Zhang Cui Lan, looking like she was going to beat her up again. Qiu's grandmother hurriedly went to rescue her third daughter-in-law. In the end, the scene looked like an eagle catching a chick, quite comical.
Enough of the commotion, Old Lady Qiu went to the snowy ground and started wailing, scolding Qiu's father for being unfilial. In the end, she furiously said that she would cut off her mother-son relationship with Qiu's father.
Qiu's mother snorted, "Isn't this the second time? Can't you come up with something else? Every time something happens, it's always your son. If he doesn't meet your expectations, you cut off ties with him."
At first, when you were at your old home, you said that you would cut off relations, but what happened was that your third son was acting lawlessly and disorderly at the old home, couldn't make a living, and only then did you remember that you still had a second son.
When you come to our house, how do you treat us? Speak with a clear conscience. As soon as you arrive, in order to arrange for your accommodation, I drive my own children out to live in someone else's home. To support the extra mouths you bring, Old Qiu and I get up even earlier than usual, going to the tofu workshop at 2 am every day to make tofu. You sleep until the sun shines on your buttocks, and yet you still complain that I'm not at home cooking for you. Now ask yourself, whose family has treated you like this?
And later on, what was the fight about? You didn't tell everyone. The child of Old Three's family is not clean-handed, and you, as a grandmother, had to shift the blame to my child, and even hit my daughter without reason. In the end, when we couldn't convince you, you went to the hospital and made us spend money and effort. Don't you think about it? Your three sons are good, but during your hospitalization, why didn't they come forward? Only our unwelcome son came to take care of you.
Is this still not enough? You bunch of heartless and cruel people, in the hospital you were discussing ways to harm our family, letting the old lady stay in the hospital indefinitely, so that our family would have to spend money on her hospitalization, is this what you said?
"Now I'd like everyone to judge who's in the wrong, is it me Qiao Fengqin or are you all heartless and ungrateful?" Qiu Ma said in front of her neighbors, finally blurting out all the words she had previously kept hidden in her heart. Anyway, now that they've already torn their faces apart, there's no need to give them any more face either.
"You fart, you think what you say is true? You don't even draft your lies!" Old Lady Qiu turned her face and refused to acknowledge it, staring with her big eyes as if she wanted to swallow Qiu Ma whole.
"Whoever tells lies knows it in their heart, I can swear in front of so many people that not a single word I said is false. If I told a lie, may heaven strike me with five thunders! Do you dare to swear that what you said is true? You are framing us with a guilty conscience, framing your own son, aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder and lightning, and ending up in the oil pot after death?" Qiu's mother stood in the courtyard as if possessed by a spirit, one hand pointing at the three people in front of her, and the other hand pointing at the sky.
Qiu's grandma was a rural old lady, who was very reverent to ghosts and gods. Hearing her second daughter-in-law say this, she felt a chill in her heart and muttered incoherently, unable to speak.
It wasn't until some older neighbors intervened and persuaded Qiu's parents to calm down that this farce finally came to an end.
There are no walls that don't breathe, although some people who don't understand the truth think that Qiu's mother was too harsh on her mother-in-law at the time, and they also followed suit in criticizing Qiu's father. However, there were still people who understood what was going on. After Qiu's father returned from his mother's house, someone quietly told him that a few nights ago, they saw Zhang Qian, that woman, go to Qiu Yansen's house with something in her hands. When she came out, both Qiu Yansen and his wife personally came out to see her off, looking very happy on both sides.
"It's estimated that Zhang Qian must have promised your younger brother some benefits, otherwise they wouldn't be so enthusiastic." Fang Haibo said after hearing this. According to his understanding, that family were people who didn't get up early without a profit, if there was no benefit, it would be impossible to get them to do anything.
"Hmm, I know. Later, it was said that Zhang Qian's wife had contracted a tofu workshop for 10 years. These days, after Zhang Qian took over the tofu workshop, Old Three and his wife have been making tofu for her every morning. My mom even bragged to others outside, saying that they were paid 80 yuan per person per month to make tofu for them." Mr. Qiu was speechless, wiping his face with his hand. With a mother like this, it's no wonder his son is so worried.
Qiu Ye listened to the angry muttering, these two people are really talented, their own brother's job was not done, but instead helped others to take away their brother's rice bowl. They went to work for others, what kind of brain is this? Moreover, those two lazy people can get up at 3 am every day to make tofu? She expressed extreme skepticism, these two will definitely not be able to do this job for long.
