Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 153 Suddenly, a Fire Stick

Yang Wuni understood that the two people were arguing because of her.

He immediately changed his demeanor, placing the sugar jar next to him on the windowsill so that he could no longer reach it.

She ate the egg and millet porridge in a few bites, then covered her head and started crying loudly.

"Wu Ni, what happened? Chang Yao, go buy something right away."

All you and Liao Zhi do is argue, you never actually do anything.

Look how angry you two have made Wu Ni! You two are such a worry!

Zhang Shuhua was at a loss, so she patted Yang Wuni's blanket to comfort her.

"Auntie, please don't be so nice to me, I can't take it."

"I'm just destined to be unworthy; I can't stand seeing others treat me well, it makes me feel bad."

Yang Wuni suddenly sat up and threw herself into Zhang Shuhua's arms.

"Silly girl, why can't you cry when someone is nice to you? You're talking nonsense."

We are all family, and it is our duty to take care of each other.

"Your life is precious in the Zhang family. Anyone who dares to say it's worthless, I'll tear their mouth off."

Zhang Shuhua hugged Yang Wuni and patted her back to comfort her.

"Changyao's wife, how old are you that you still need your aunt to carry you?"

Wang Ga's wife, Liu Qiuju, entered the house carrying her child. When she saw Yang Wuni in Zhang Shuhua's arms, she laughed at her.

"Sister-in-law Qiuju, please sit here quickly."

Yang Wuni wiped away her tears, got up, and patted the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Wu Ni, you know how tight-lipped Chang Yao is. I've asked him several times, but he just won't say that your family doesn't have any eggs.

You've made it so that after you give birth, you still have to borrow eggs from my house.

I've already spoken to your father-in-law. Forget about lending them; those eggs are for helping you produce milk.

Liu Qiuju tugged at Yang Wuni's hand and patted it gently as she spoke.

"Gazi's wife, are you saying the eggs my brother brought back from your house weren't bought by him?"

Zhang Shuhua stared wide-eyed, asking Liu Qiuju in disbelief.

"Auntie, what are you saying? Even if I'm short of money, I can't sell eggs to Wu Ni!"

Gazi and Changyao went into business together because they were good brothers.

Even if I'm clueless, I shouldn't sell eggs to Wu Ni just because she asked me to borrow them.

Besides, isn't it only right that I take some eggs since Wu Ni is in postpartum confinement?

Liu Qiuju repeatedly explained, just to clarify that it was a gift, not a loan.

Tell Yang Wuni that the eggs Zhang Kaiju brought back were for her to help with lactation.

"Sister Qiuju, your family has people eating every day, you should take the eggs back."

I had no idea my dad would borrow eggs from your family using our name. That old man is really a handful.

Yang Wuni pulled her hand back and was about to get down to get eggs for Liu Qiuju.

"Wu Ni, why are you overthinking this? I came to pick up the egg basket, not to ask for eggs."

If you don't believe me, ask your father. He said you wanted to borrow eggs, and I immediately told him that eggs are for helping with lactation.

"I need to take this egg basket back. Don't laugh, but it's the only whole basket we have at home."

After saying everything she needed to say, Liu Qiuju picked up her child, grabbed the egg basket from the ground, and left.

When Zhang Changyao went out to see Liu Qiuju back, he looked up and saw the Zhang family's house to the east, with the elderly couple peeking out and looking at him.

"You idiot! You're just asking for trouble!" Zhang Changyao muttered angrily.

"Changyao, do you think your father is doing anything humane?"

The way this old man was made to serve is truly speechless.

If it weren't for me watching your mother live an honest and upright life, and giving birth to you...

You look so much like your dad, I really doubt you're his biological son.

"No, I have to go ask him about this. This is just too much!"

Zhang Shuhua was so angry that she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to confront Zhang Kaiju.

"Auntie, Wu Ni is in her postpartum period. Let's avoid trouble."

I just saw my dad and Zhao Xiulan watching Liu Qiuju walk away from the wall.

I guess these two people know they've been exposed and are scared.

He's not in charge now, unless there's absolutely no other way.

He wouldn't go to Wang Fenjiang's house to lie and spout nonsense, that shameless bastard.

Wu Ni and I don't need his things. I'm secretly happy that he doesn't come to me.

Zhang Changyao grabbed Zhang Shuhua's legs, preventing her from getting down.

"Auntie, don't be angry. That's just how my dad is. Do you expect him to suddenly become more considerate of us?"

People say that with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and besides, my father wasn't good to Zhang Changyao even when I didn't have a stepmother.

As long as he doesn't conspire with Yumi to deceive me and Zhang Changyao.

I kowtowed towards the South Heavenly Gate to thank God for His protection. Yang Wuni held onto Zhang Shuhua tightly.

"You two little brats, you just don't know how to fight for yourselves, you just suffer in silence."

Look at those people buying corn; when they see a bargain, they're all scrambling to get in.

"If I hadn't been here, she would have extorted all these eggs from your family."

Upon smelling the foul odor, Zhang Shuhua quickly turned around to change the baby's diaper.

"Auntie, you don't need to fight for good fortune; what you fight for, you can't keep," Liao Zhi interjected.

"Liao Zhi, I understand what you're saying. If you're lucky, you don't have to work hard; if you're unlucky, you'll run yourself ragged."

But even if you don't fight or grab anything, you still have to open your mouth to take it, right?

If you don't open your mouth, people will think you're not hungry and don't want to eat.

Zhang Shuhua was already familiar with Liao Zhi, so she stopped agreeing with him.

"Grandma, you'd better go back and check on things! My dad is beating my mom again."

As the group was talking, Guan Yutian pushed open the door and came in. He saw Zhang Shuhua and started to cry.

"Why are they fighting again? You're married now, how come they don't act like proper elders in front of their son and daughter-in-law?" Zhang Shuhua said helplessly as she got out of bed to put on her shoes.

"Yutian, why did your father fight with your mother?" Zhang Changyao asked Guan Yutian curiously.

"Third Uncle, I don't quite understand why, but my mother went up and hit my father with a fire poker."

It seems my wife said the baby in her belly was moving and asked my dad to touch it.

When my dad heard what my wife said, he casually touched her stomach.

I don't know what happened to my mother, but out of the blue she hit my father with a fire poker.

They shaved a red burl all over my dad's forehead.

My wife got angry and snatched the fire poker from my mother's hand, hitting her with it.

My mother started pulling her hair, and my wife started pulling my mother's hair too.

My father started beating my mother, and my wife joined in.

Guan Yutian spoke to Zhang Changyao with a pitiful expression, tears welling up in his eyes.

"You silly Yutian, hurry home! Your wife and your father are beating up your mother, why aren't you helping your mother?"

"Run back home right now, and beat up whoever hits your mother."

Zhang Changyao hurriedly pushed Guan Yutian out of the house, telling him to go home and help Li Yue'e.

"Third Uncle, shouldn't I be on my wife's side?" Guan Yutian took a few steps and turned back to ask Zhang Changyao.

"Yutian, your wife doesn't need your protection. She has your father."

You run back quickly. If you can't beat them, protect your mother and don't let her get hit.

Your grandma and I are behind you, we'll be at your house soon.
