Chapter 42: The Cruel Mother-in-law [3]
The yard was a bit messy, there was chicken poop everywhere, and the two hens were clucking in the yard, smelly and dirty.
At this time, the men all went out to work, and the older children also went to work in the fields, so at this time, only Zhang Tiezhu's mother-in-law Jiang Yumei, and Zhang Tiezhu's sister-in-law Yu, plus two young children were at home in the old house.
Jiang Yumei was sweeping in the yard, while sweeping her stomach, she scolded and yelled at the people in the house, "Isn't it just that the moon has come, and it looks like she is pregnant, and she doesn't even come to sweep the, and she has to wait for your mother......"
In the past, when Li Hongxiang and Zhang Tiezhu were not separated, the yard was clean and neat, and most of them were cleaned and taken care of by Li Hongxiang, but later Zhang Tiezhu's family was separated, and no one took care of the yard.
Jiang Yumei didn't give a good face when she saw Li Hongxiang, she was angry because of the wild pheasant last night, and because she was in a bad mood because of sweeping, and now when she saw Li Hongxiang coming, her face turned cold directly, and she sent all her anger to Li Hongxiang.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Hongxiang has long been accustomed to Jiang Yumei's attitude, and a somewhat embarrassed smile appeared on her face, "Mother, I'm here to bring Lingbao'er to recognize her relatives......"
She was holding Su Jinse in her hands, and she was followed by Zhang Yuxiu's three sisters and brothers.
Who knew that as soon as her words fell, she was angrily scolded by Jiang Yumei: "Recognize relatives, what kind of relatives?" Our Zhang family doesn't have a child like Ling Bao'er, she is just a wild girl who was bought, and she is also worthy of entering the door of my Zhang family? ”
Li Hongxiang's face froze instantly, and she clenched Su Jinse's hand: "Mother...... Ling Bao'er is now my child with Iron Pillar......"
"Phew! Are you two unable to have children on your own, or what's the matter? Do you have to buy a wild girl that no one else wants to be a girl? I heard that last night's wild pheasant, your family ate very happily, and gave Lingbao'er this wild seed to eat, and I didn't think about whether my father and mother in the old house had meat to eat, you have a bad conscience! If you have money and food, you will make it! I also spent 20 yuan to buy a wild seed that no one wants, and I don't know if I have that 20 yuan to honor me! Jiang Yumei had a very loud voice, full of energy, crossed her waist, and scolded Li Hongxiang bloody.
Yu didn't go to the ground because she was not feeling good today, and when Jiang Yumei scolded her before, she didn't dare to say a word.
At this time, she heard Jiang Yumei scolding Li Hongxiang in the house, so she hurriedly walked out, she walked to Jiang Yumei's side and said with a flattering smile: "Mother, I'm not feeling unwell, you have worked hard today." ”
said, and looked at Li Hongxiang sarcastically and said: "Fourth brother and daughter-in-law, this is your fault, my father and mother are the ones who gave birth to your husband and raised your husband, you have wild pheasants and don't know how to use them to honor your father, and you also buy a wild seed to go back to be a daughter, and pet it like a baby, do you know what the people in the village say about you?" It is said that you and the fourth brother are fools, and you are regarded as treasures if you are a child who is not wanted by a rich family. My father and mother didn't care about it, and I was poked in the backbone by others, so that my mother and I couldn't raise our heads in the village. Do you still have the face to bring Lingbao'er to recognize your relatives at this time? ”
At this time, helping Jiang Yumei scold Li Hongxiang was to follow Jiang Yumei's hair, and sure enough, Jiang Yumei's gaze at Yu eased a little.
Li Hong's eyes turned red with the aroma, "Lingbao'er is a good child, she has no father or mother, but she is not a wild seed." Mother, sister-in-law, how can you say that about a child. ”
