Chapter 4: Half-spirited and not stupid

For Mei Zhijun to say that she was "spending money indiscriminately", Zhao Huiying scolded Mei Zhijun for two days, saying that Mei Zhijun was not filial to her, and even slandered her with red lips and white teeth.

Mei Zhijun reasoned with her and listed her "glorious deeds", but she turned a deaf ear and only blindly scolded.

Because it is related to whether he will have a chance to continue to shine in the future, Mei Zhifeng and Mei Zhiming also have the ambition to help Zhao Huiying speak together.

Three to one, Mei Zhijun was defeated.

But in terms of words, he couldn't argue, but in action, Mei Zhijun stood up and did not make compromises.

Since the first time Mei Yali got sick and had a fever, but Zhao Huiying refused to give him a penny, Mei Zhijun has never handed over his salary.

After that, he was about to be found fault with his wife and younger siblings every now and then, but he never made any compromises.

Mei Zhijun's toughness, She Yufen is still very satisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had such an advantage that could make people see a little hope, She Yufen would not have endured it until Mei Yali was half a year old, and finally under Zhao Huiying's intensified struggle, she made up her mind to jump out of the fire pit of Lao Mei's family.

Seeing She Yufen greet the secretary of the brigade and several elders of the Mei family, saying something excitedly, Mei Jinfeng (Mei Zhijun's father), who had been silently hiding on the side like an invisible person, finally showed his sense of existence as the head of the family.

With a smile that was hard to squeeze out and was more ugly than crying, he walked a few steps quickly to bypass Zhao Huiying, who was still beating Mei Zhijun, "Second Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Brother Guowen, I'm causing you trouble again." ”

Since the day he married Zhao Huiying, Mei Jinfeng has been trying his best to avoid head-on conflict with Zhao Huiying.

He was really afraid of Zhao Huiying's usual verbal and fierce insults, as well as her extremely vicious and obscene way of doing things.

In order to make himself more peaceful, the two of them have lived together for many years, and he has basically not disobeyed Zhao Huiying's intentions.

His infinite concession made Zhao Huiying more and more domineering, in their family, Zhao Huiying was like a slave owner who ruled a group of slaves, including Mei Jinfeng's husband and children, all of whom lived a life of being blamed at every turn, beating and scolding.

Of course, her youngest son and little daughter were treated slightly better than others.

A long time ago, when she was fifteen or sixteen years old, Mei Yali once made a ranking in private, which was about the position of each person in her grandmother's heart.

In the first place, of course, there is no doubt that she milks herself.

If a person's attention to all the people around him/her adds up to 100 percent, then her grandmother values her milk herself at least 99 percent.

For the remaining 1%, half of her milk was given to her third uncle Mei Zhiming.

There are two reasons why Mei Zhiming's status at home is so detached.

One is that when he was a child, he was given away by Zhao Huiying for a period of time because his family was poor, although he was later exchanged by Zhao Huiying with food from that family, but this guilt made Zhao Huiying have a little more preference for his little son.

The other is because of Mei Zhiming's absolute support and obedience to Zhao Huiying, as long as Zhao Huiying says and does, he will never question it, and of course he will not oppose it.

For a woman like Zhao Huiying, who has a strong desire to control and is accustomed to a situation of self-respect, such a son is naturally the most pleasing.

As for the last 0.5%, Zhao Huiying distributed it to her mother's family, husband and other children.

If these people also have to be in order, then the first in line is undoubtedly her mother's family.

This conclusion was drawn by Mayali from the numerous complaints of her uncle and father.

According to them, when they were very young, their families were already too poor to open the pot, but Zhao Huiying still sent the food she had finally gotten back to her parents' house again and again.

If Zhao Huiying's maiden brothers, nephews and nieces are also poor and can't eat, Mei Zhijun's resentment may not be so big as to complain to the juniors.

But on the contrary, their good uncle's family is very happy.

In the difficult years when the vast majority of people ate bran vegetables, the people in their family were often able to eat fruits, white flour, rice, eggs, milk, meat and other precious foods.

Their good uncle never gave these things to his nephew or niece once.

Even though his niece was the same age as his eldest daughter, she was only six or seven years old, and at that time she was still serving his daughter-in-law in confinement at his house, helping his daughter-in-law take care of the children.

To be honest, Mei Yali doesn't understand Zhao Huiying very well.

If her mother's family treated her well, she would be able to repay the favor, but the problem is that those people in her mother's family are clearly looting and using her like a fool.

Isn't there such a loved one more unfortunate than nothing?

It's really strange that she even sent it to the door by herself for people to practice.

On the contrary, it was the children who were extremely filial to her, and her husband, who was extremely tolerant of her, had always been like slaves in her eyes, and it was difficult for her to have a good face and listen to her kind words.

In fact, it's not just Mei Yali who can't understand her milk, but the men, women and children in this Taizi Village don't know how many people scold her behind her back for being "half-refined and not stupid".

"Half-spirited and not stupid" is a local saying here, which means that some people seem to be very shrewd and powerful on the surface, but they are stupid when they do things.

Coupled with the speaker's disdainful and mocking expression, the derogatory meaning of these four words is obvious.

Mei Zhijun's second grandfather and sixth grandfather have already commanded several of their grandsons to pull away Zhao Huiying and Zhao Huiying's youngest son Mei Zhiming.

Sure enough, Mei Zhijun's poor cousins were all greeted by Zhao Huiying a few times in the process of pulling the fight.

Fortunately, they had already expected Zhao Huiying's virtues, Zhao Huiying was ruthless, and they were not slow to hide.

Several people very tacitly divided two of them to go to Lamei Zhiming, and the remaining four people pulled Zhao Huiying over and surrounded him in the middle.

When her hand, foot, and teeth were ready to greet one of them, the others would pull or push her, and the hapless ghost she had targeted would jump away.

Mei Zhijun, who was finally rescued, couldn't see his face anymore, two bright nail prints hung on the left side of his face, and the blood oozing from the wound was painted on his face by Zhao Huiying.

Li Guowen raised his hand and patted Mei Zhijun's shoulder with a sympathetic expression, and then called his eldest son to hurry up and invite the doctor over in Luer Village.

Luer Village and Taizi Village are only separated by two mountain beams, and with the foot strength of a young man like Li Guowen's eldest son, he should be able to bring back the doctor who is still in the prime of life in forty minutes.
