A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 39 Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family
The feast is over.

Classmate Gu was carried home by his father in a daze. His mother's nagging could still be heard even after traveling far away.

The general content was to blame him for drinking and causing trouble at his cousin's engagement party.

Li Xiang has sobered up a lot here.

He asked for a basin of cold water from the store, washed his face well, then refused the offers from his roommates and asked everyone to go back first.

The school and the hotel are in opposite directions, so this journey takes a lot of time.

Moreover, there is nothing to entertain at home today. The dishes can be made with the leftover bone soup and eggs from yesterday, but the staple food is really not enough for these strong young men.

Wait a little longer. After a while, he will also invite everyone to the restaurant to thank his roommates for taking care of him on weekdays.

Li Xiang walked home slowly, already thinking about what to take out of his backpack next time he came back.

The half bottle of white pepper I was rewarded last time can be taken out. When I drank the mutton soup yesterday, I always felt that it was almost boring.

Hmm~ No, I can take this out when I get home later.

Just say that I got it from the restaurant today. This is not a ready excuse.

In this case, the big white rabbit can also grab a handful and sweeten it to the elder sister and younger brother. The little half a catty he got last time has not been digested until now.

He didn't have the ability to buy it now, but Sun Guoqing's family was well-established and his background was so strong that he said he bought the wedding candies at the supply and marketing cooperative in the compound.

You can bring back a handful of dried seaweed when you go home next week to add to your family's meal.

Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder, and there are fewer and fewer dishes available on the market.

Dried kelp is durable and can be eaten in a variety of ways. It can be fried, mixed, or boiled into soup. However, it consumes a lot of fuel. He will have to inform his mother in advance.

I also need to find a way to cash in the two newly acquired gold jewelry. If I really can't find the opportunity, I have to find a bank to cash it out.

One disadvantage of going to a bank is that it only gives you money, not a ticket.

If you want to spend money to buy something, you have to find another way to collect tickets, which is also very troublesome.

Li Xiang thought about it all the way back to the courtyard. Because his mind was always thinking about things, he didn't feel that the journey was long.

Today, the third uncle, Yan Bugui, is not guarding the gate of the courtyard. He probably went fishing again.

Ever since he discovered the business opportunity of making money by fishing, except when it was windy or rainy, he would run out with his fishing rod unshakable on the rest of his days off.

No one will come back until it gets dark.

The fishing rod is just a bamboo pole with a thin wire and a hook. The third aunt reluctantly bent the hook with an iron needle.

There are only a few needles for mending at home.

When she didn't catch any fish at first, the third aunt complained a lot about the third uncle.

Later, the third uncle improved his skills and never passed the Air Force again, so the complaints stopped.

Although the third uncle no longer works as a guard in the front yard, he arranged for the third aunt to take over the duty.

After all, I still can't bear to give up the little bits and pieces of benefits like a spring onion and two vegetable leaves.But today, the third aunt was nowhere to be seen in the front yard, and Li Xiang was still a little surprised.

When we arrived at the middle courtyard, well, we were here to watch the excitement.

The Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are having a conflict. What's going on these days? Li Xiang even wonders if Mercury is retrograde. There are conflicts wherever he goes.

"Mom, Aunt Zheng gave me these eggs to replenish my health. You know that we don't have many in our family, how could you eat them secretly?" Qin Huairu accused Jia Zhang with tears, looking so pitiful.

"Damn your mother's bullshit. Did you see with your eyes that I ate it secretly? I was using it to replenish my eldest grandson's health." Mrs. Jia Zhang refused to admit it and acted as if she was extremely insulted.

"Xiao Dang told me that you and Banggong shared half of the bowl of steamed eggs, and you just let her watch. If Banggian hadn't been so fond of her sister, she wouldn't have even been able to take a bite. With you, Is this what grandma did?"

Originally, Qin Huairu had no intention of causing trouble when Jia Zhang treated her harshly.

First, because the family scandal should not be publicized. There are two widows in their family. A little trouble is enough for others to chew on for a while. Their adults are thick-skinned and can pretend that they have not heard it. They are afraid that the gossip will fall into the ears of their children and cannot be carried out outside. Start being a human being.

Secondly, Qin Huairu's physical fitness is good, and she has not lost milk due to Jia Zhang's harsh treatment. As long as Huaihua is not punished, it is okay for her as a mother to suffer a little.

But Qin Huairu didn't expect that her tolerance would make Jia Zhang even worse, and now even her children would be treated differently.

Qin Huairu's weakness is her children, and to have evil thoughts about her children is to hit her bottom line.

She was willing to sacrifice her reputation, and today she wanted to tear open the skin of this old pious woman and let people know how she, the mother-in-law, treated her, her daughter-in-law, and her children so harshly.

Of course, Qin Huairu also had her own little thoughts. Since she was determined to cause trouble, she must have made this tiger woman's reputation as bad as possible, otherwise it would reflect her kindness as a daughter-in-law.

"Look at the good daughter you taught. She is full of lies when she is only three years old. If you want to drive me back to the countryside, just say, why are you using children as rafts? I don't believe this. No one has taught me this. She can't tell a word. That’s what a bad little kid would say.”

Mrs. Jia Zhang is not a fool either, just waiting for Qin Huairu to throw dirty water on her.

Under her few words, the truth became Rashomon in the eyes of the neighbors who were watching, and they couldn't tell who was good and who was bad.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she almost collapsed from her blood.

She gritted her teeth and asked: "I instigated it? Mom, do you dare to swear? Who was reluctant to spend money and dragged me back from the hospital the next day? Who was greedy last night and had a pot of bone soup for one person? You drank more than half of it and only left a small bowl for me? Who is so lazy as to get maggots? The clothes at home have been piled up for several days and are unwilling to be washed? "

Qin Huairu became more and more miserable as she spoke, and her whole body began to tremble. Finally, she looked at the neighbors watching with grievance, and said with a choked sob: "If I hadn't done it this morning, Huaihua wouldn't even have diapers. The uncles and aunts in the courtyard, You've all seen the piles of diapers and clothes."

"Yes, I asked Huairu at that time why the cold water has been pouring in the past few days." A neighbor's aunt told the people next to her what she had seen in the morning.

With the evidence of what happened in the morning, Qin Huairu's accusation became convincing in the eyes of everyone.

The neighbors in the circle began to point fingers at Jia Zhang, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with her.

Everyone thought that Qin Huairu was really unlucky for eight lifetimes to have such an evil mother-in-law like Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang sat on a low stool, feeling full of disdain for everyone's reaction.

She has seen this kind of battles too many times, does she think she will be scared just by pointing a few words?

It's a beautiful idea, Qin Huairu, a stinky girl, can't even think of convicting her.

Today I will let you see what it means to confuse right and wrong.
