Chapter 17: Arrogant and unreasonable
The red sun in the east slowly rose from the dark and dreary hills, lazily casting ten thousand golden rays of light on the earth.
Circles of bright and dazzling solar halos surround the sun, and the clouds float in patches in the blue sky, under the rendering of the golden solar halo, the layers are distinct, and the light and shade depend on each other, which is extraordinarily beautiful.
The sky gradually brightened, and from time to time a lost wild goose or two flew in the blue sky.
When the red sun was in the sky, the villagers followed the law of sunrise, woke up from their sleep, and started a new day's work as always.
The men are plowing in the fields, the women are weaving at home, and from time to time there are some small disputes in each family, which should add a little spice to the busy people, and they will live happily.
But there are always many people who are still struggling to survive in dire straits, such as-
The door of the big house was kicked open, and the whole house shook.
The woman's harsh and brutal words followed: "What time is this, little sister! Don't sleep, my mother will get some rice at your house, your eldest brother's food is not enough to eat, and after a while, my mother will prepare enough dry food for the winter and then return it to you! ”
Without waiting for the master's reply, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family walked into the kitchen with ease.
I found the big vat of rice, opened the rice bag brought by my family regardless of it, packed the little brown rice left in the rice jar in three or two clicks, and hurriedly wanted to leave.
The mother hurriedly walked out with a random dress, and saw her sister-in-law of the Zhang family walking out of the kitchen carrying a small bag of rice, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"Sister-in-law! Please, don't ......"
She hurriedly went to grab the clothes of the Zhang family's sister-in-law, and before she could finish speaking, she was thrown away.
"What are you doing!"
The sister-in-law of the Zhang family seemed to be afraid of being dirty, so she quickly lifted the woman's hand, rubbed the clothes she had touched with her hands, and spat a few mouthfuls vigorously.
She looked around, but she didn't find the obscure little hooves, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
I haven't seen the little hoof for a few days, so I guess I'm dying of illness.
As soon as she thought of this, the sister-in-law of the Zhang family couldn't help but secretly applaud, she really deserved it, so that you provoke the old lady, retribution is coming!
"The old lady borrowed some food from you, but you refused? Think back then, you ate your eldest brother's food for nothing, and now you don't pay it back, that's how you treat your mother? It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, how can you be so unfilial! ”
The sister-in-law of the Zhang family muttered to herself, didn't look behind her, and ran out of their house hastily as if she was running for her life, and shouted some unbearable words from time to time.
Seeing her own food being collected and taken away, her mother's lips trembled, her legs were sore, and she sat on the cold ground, her face was bloody, and her eyes were blank.
How could the sister-in-law do this to her and Jiu'er!
To put it nicely, it's borrowing, but in fact it's not a robbery, how can it be returned.
That bag contained more than a month's worth of food for their family, and if someone took it away, wouldn't they be hungry for more than a month this winter?
There was not much left of the silver taels left by Xuanjiu's father not long ago, and no matter how hard she tried, she could only barely survive half the winter.
How good is that!
The success rate of asking her for food back is almost zero, and if she doesn't come to ask them, it will be God's blessing.
It is even more impossible to borrow from others, because the grain production is not high in these years, and the taxes have risen for a time, and no one is living in a tight manner, let alone helping others.
The people around shook their heads and sighed when they saw this, this mother-in-law of the Zhang family is indeed too ruthless, and the widow of the Zhang family can bear it.
