Chapter 5
"Mother..."
"Don\'t ask, you\'ll know when you eat." Zhao Shi had just called her mother, but before she could ask, she was intercepted by Aunt Yang.
"Haha, mother and second sister-in-law have worked hard," Zhao Shi said with a heartless smile.
"Come on, hurry up and set the dishes and chopsticks, they will all get up soon."
"Oh, right. If you got up, who is accompanying your two little kids?" Aunt Yang suddenly thought of Zhao Shi\'s two children.
"Sanlang won\'t go to the fields today, so I\'ll be lazy." Zhao Shi answered Aunt Yang\'s question while setting the dishes and chopsticks.
"Oh, look, I forgot everything." Aunt Yang patted her head and said she had clearly told Old Man Yang when she got up that he would not go to the fields today and let him sleep a little longer, but she forgot it so soon.
Soon, all the family members got up one after another, and the spacious kitchen suddenly became a little crowded. So the men took their bowls and went to the yard to eat breakfast, leaving only a group of children and a few women at the table.
"Mom, are you going to town today?" The eldest brother asked casually when he came in to add porridge.
This was the third person who asked Aunt Yang this morning.
"Yeah! What\'s the matter? Which one of you wants to go?" Aunt Yang was a little surprised by the question. It was not her first time to go to town, so why did she have to ask today?
If any of the daughters-in-law in the family wanted to go to town, Aunt Yang would never stop them. But they had to pay for the purchases themselves. As for if the family needed anything, Aunt Yang would pay for it.
"Nothing, just asking!" The eldest brother shook his head and replied.
"Hey, I think you are all acting strange today! I\'m just going to town. It\'s not like I haven\'t been there before. Why don\'t you show me the same concern as before?"
"I heard that you are going with the girl next door, so I just want to remind you to be more careful."
"What\'s the matter? Can I lose her?" Aunt Yang replied unhappily.
"How about you go with me today, third sister-in-law!" The eldest brother didn\'t reply to his mother, but thought for a while and said to Zhao Shi.
"Go! Third sister-in-law. I\'ll help you take care of your two children." Liu Shi held the youngest son of the third brother\'s family, lowered her head to feed him porridge, and looked up after hearing this.
"Second sister-in-law, why do my two children like you so much? Even I, as a mother, am jealous."
It\'s true that Zhao Shi\'s two children are particularly attached to Liu Shi, and even want to sleep with Liu Shi at night.
"Second sister-in-law, how about I give my two children to you?" Zhao Shi said with a tone of disdain.
"No, you should keep them! If it\'s two girls, I will definitely want it." When Zhao Shi said this, the second son came in.
"Hehe, if it\'s two girls, I can\'t bear to give them to you."
Other families dislike girls, but his old Yang family is looking forward to girls. In the end, it was decided that Zhao Shi would go to the town with Aunt Yang, to ensure that they would not lose the mother and daughter next door.
"Aunt Yang, can we go now?" Li Suniang asked as she stood at the gate of the yard with her child.
"Suniang is here, okay, okay, wait a minute and we will come out soon!" Aunt Yang answered immediately after hearing Li Suniang\'s voice.
The old man and three sons in the family were still in the yard. Aunt Yang knew Li Suniang\'s character, which was a bit timid and cowardly, especially when she saw several men together, she would not get close at all. So she didn\'t let her in, and she and Zhao Shi immediately went back to the house to get the good things and went out.
If the original owner was timid and cowardly, Li Suniang today is not timid and cowardly, after all, the social environment in the previous life is different from here. Whether in the workplace or school, men and women get along together. As for why she didn\'t just walk in, it was because she thought it was almost time, so it didn\'t matter whether she went in or not. Sure enough, Aunt Yang came out with Zhao Shi after a while.
"Oh, Xiao Zihao is here too. You are going to go to town with your mother! Otherwise, don\'t go and play with your brothers." Aunt Yang saw the little kid next to Li Suniang and joked with him with a smile.
Niu Zihao is the only child of Niu Da and the original owner. To give the child a better name, Niu Da especially went to the town to ask someone to give it to him. Sure enough, it was better than the random names in the village.
"No, I want to go to town with my mother." After hearing what Aunt Yang said, Xiao Zihao shook his head, held Li Suniang\'s hand tighter, and hid behind Li Suniang, not looking at Aunt Yang.
He also shouted "Mom..." in a pitiful tone.
"Mom, you only know how to scare other people\'s children."
Before Li Suniang could coax the child, Zhao Shi had already spoken first.
"Come here, Xiao Zihao, I haven\'t seen you for a few days. Let Aunt Zhao Shi hold you. Granny Yang is just trying to scare you." Zhao Shi didn\'t really want to hold her two children, but every time she saw Niu Zihao, she couldn\'t help wanting to hold him. After all, Zihao was so handsome and fair-skinned, and he was likable just by looking at him. Unfortunately, Zihao hid and didn\'t want to be held by her, because he knew that Zhao Shi was Granny Yang\'s family, and he was afraid that if Zhao Shi held him, he would not be able to go to town with his mother.
In the past, every time his father brought him to Granny Yang\'s house, Zhao Shi held him, and then his father left him there and went back.
It is estimated that the shadow of the past was too big, causing him to think that his mother didn\'t want to take him with him when he heard that Zhao Shi wanted to hold him.
"It\'s okay, let Aunt Zhao Shi hold you, Aunt Zhao Shi will go to town with us today." Seeing Zihao\'s reaction, Li Suniang knew what was going on, so she pulled him out from behind and comforted him softly.
The fact that she could understand the various actions of children at once was due to her experience of taking care of her younger brother in her previous life, so sometimes hard work always pays off.
"Haha, this is because you are afraid that Aunt Zhao will hold them and you won\'t be able to go to town!" Zhao Shi laughed as soon as she heard what Li Suniang said.
"Mom, you are the one who scared the child like this." Zhao Shi turned around and blamed Aunt Yang again.
"Okay, okay, let\'s go quickly! If we don\'t leave, we won\'t be able to ride the ox cart." Being blamed by her daughter-in-law, Aunt Yang was not angry but said happily.
"You little brat, you have become smarter." Aunt Yang rubbed Zihao\'s head and said with a smile.
"Aunt Yang, my hair is messy," Zihao said a little unhappy, and used his little hands to scratch his head a few times.
Aunt Yang, Zhao Shi, and Li Suniang couldn\'t help laughing after seeing Zihao\'s actions, which made Xiao Zihao even more dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, it\'s not messy. It\'s still the same as what mother tied this morning." In the end, Li Suniang couldn\'t stand it and comforted him a few times.
"You little brat, you still think you are pretty! It seems that when you grow up, you have to find a pretty wife. Otherwise, you may not be interested in her." Aunt Yang joked with Xiao Zihao cheerfully.
"Like mother." The silly Xiao Zihao answered seriously.
"Hahaha, okay, when you grow up, Aunt Yang will definitely help you find a wife as pretty as your mother." Aunt Yang and Zhao Shi laughed at Xiao Zihao\'s innocent words.
Li Suniang was also amused and thought, Boy, you have good taste. I am indeed good-looking.
Every time she looked in the mirror, Li Suniang was more and more satisfied with her face.
So this person! In fact, he was born to belong to the team of Face-cons, but some are relatively obvious. After all, the inner things cannot be seen for a while if you have been in contact with this thing for a short time.
Appearance is different because the first thing people see when they see a person is the appearance. It\'s like when you go out to find a job, the first thing people see is your face. If you look too ugly, they will definitely not want you. After all, the company also needs an image.
Aunt Yang kept teasing Xiao Zihao along the way. In the end, the child ignored her and kept shouting for Li Suniang to hold him. After Li Suniang picked him up, he immediately hid his little face in her arms without even looking at Aunt Yang.
The three adults were amused by Xiao Zihao\'s actions again and soon arrived at the place where they took the ox cart in the village.
"Sister-in-law Yang, hurry up, we\'re waiting for you."
At this time, several women were sitting on the ox cart and talking. When one of them saw Aunt Yang, she immediately waved her hand and shouted.
"I\'m coming, I\'m so sorry to be late and keep you waiting." Aunt Yang quickened her pace and replied apologetically.
"Oh, it\'s nothing. We just arrived not long ago. Hurry up and get on the cart!" The woman just replied.
"Well, all right. Suniang, third wife, hurry up and get in the car!" Aunt Yang took Xiao Zihao from Suniang\'s arms and urged the two to get in the car.
At this moment, Xiao Zihao also obediently lets Aunt Yang hold him.
"Oh, isn\'t this Niu Da\'s little wife! Is it that because the man in the family died, and she can\'t stand the loneliness she is going to seduce that guy in the town? If you ask me, this woman can\'t be too spoiled by men. Otherwise, this blessing will be spoiled." A sarcastic remark came out when she saw Li Suniang just got in the car.
The woman who said this was the mother of the girl who was reported by Niu Da. At this moment, she looked at Li Suniang with hatred in her eyes. If it weren\'t for Niu Da, her daughter wouldn\'t have married so far away, and wouldn\'t have lived such a miserable life.
But she didn\'t think carefully about it. If her daughter hadn\'t done something wrong first, how could Niu Da have come to her house? There must be a cause and an effect, but some people don\'t look at the cause only the result.
So people are actually more selfish, but some people have good control and can control their inner selfish behavior, while some people will only magnify such behavior.
"Old Liu, what are you talking about? What\'s the matter? According to what you said, all the women in our cart are going to seduce men." Aunt Yang said with glaring eyes as soon as she heard it.
"I\'m talking about the widow whose man died, not you." The woman called Old Liu by Aunt Yang also glared at Aunt Yang unwillingly, and her voice was much lower.
"Hey, then, Old Liu, according to what you said, a widow can\'t go to town. Then tell me, who am I going to hook up with? You have to tell me clearly, otherwise I won\'t buy your account." The one who said this was an elderly widow in the village, who had a rather fierce personality. She had to be fierce. A widow with two children and was bullied by her husband\'s family with no one from her own family to help. So sometimes, people\'s tempers are forced out by the environment in which they live.
Old Liu forgot that there was a widow named Chen in the car for a moment. Although she was a bit arrogant, she still didn\'t dare to be arrogant in front of Widow Chen.
After all, she was not afraid of death. When Widow Chen\'s mother-in-law wanted to occupy her family\'s land, widow Chen went to the door with a machete to make trouble. That was not a joke. She was really ready to fight to the death. Anyway, she and her two children were forced to die, so they could die together.
The old people in the village still remember the incident. Later, the village chief asked the widow Chen\'s in-laws to write a letter of guarantee, which ended the whole incident. Widow Chen\'s in-laws didn\'t get any advantage, but some of their things had to be repaired. Fortunately, no one was injured, but her mother-in-law twisted her waist and had to lie down for a while before she could get up.
So when a woman is driven crazy, the consequences are sometimes unimaginable.
