Chapter 235: I said it once, but people wouldn't listen.
Inside Guan Yutian's room, Wang Shuqin was cursing Guan Yutian in a hoarse voice.
"Second sister-in-law, why is that tiger-like woman cursing our Yutian?"
Yang Wuni hurried a few steps and whispered in Li Yue'e's ear.
"Sigh! This is how it is since I came back from the health center. All I do all day is eat, drink, and curse Yutian."
They scolded my silly son so much that he's always doing random things and doesn't know what to do.
Just now, I came back from Shuyun's house, and I went from house to house looking for them, begging them one by one.
He just wanted everyone to help his wife produce milk, hoping to win that slut's favor.
Li Yue'e dried her hands on her lapel and pulled Yang Wuni into the house to talk.
Zhang Changyao picked up the laundry tub from the floor and followed the two men into the house.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, are you two here to help my wife produce milk?"
Hearing someone speaking, Guan Yutian, who had come out of the house, quickly came over to ask.
"Yutian, your third uncle and I are feeling cold, so we won't go to see the children and your wife."
Here's five yuan, for your wife to help with breastfeeding. Go give it to her.
Yang Wuni took out five yuan from her coat pocket and handed it to Guan Yutian.
When Guan Yutian saw Bao'er, his eyes immediately reddened, and he quickly turned around and went back into the house.
"Guan Yutian, look, if you don't go looking for them, do you think they'll come and give us money?"
"Go look for them again tomorrow. It's fine if they don't come, but the money is enough. Anyway, I don't want to see them." Wang Shuqin said loudly from inside the room.
"Wu Ni, you silly little girl, why are you giving her money?"
She's clueless, a piece of junk who kicks around the damsels in the sand, it's a waste to give her your heart.
I'm not going to stoop to her level now, but if she insults my Yutian like that again after she's out of confinement, I'll kill her with a pickaxe.
Li Yue'e gritted her teeth, making a "crunching" sound, and tears streamed down her face as she felt sorry for her son.
"Second sister-in-law, in my opinion, you should hurry up and find a house for Yutian and his wife. They can't keep living in this shabby house."
I think Wang Shuqin is deliberately treating Yutian like this; she's just trying to challenge you.
Yang Wuni wiped away Li Yue'e's tears and whispered something to her.
"Wu Ni, I've told your second brother this a hundred times, but he won't listen to me."
Neither Yutian nor I have the final say; in this family, we women are only fit to do the housework.
As Li Yue'e spoke, grief overwhelmed her and she couldn't help but cry again.
"Second sister-in-law, don't get upset. In a few days, I'll talk to my second brother. I don't believe he's so stubborn."
Zhang Changyao stood by anxiously, panting with anger.
"Zhang Changyao, let's go talk to Auntie about this."
When my second brother is at home, he's like a bear standing at attention, all-powerful and controlling.
I don't believe he dares to disobey his aunt or defy the rule of the Celestial Empire.
Yang Wuni patted Li Yue'e on the shoulder and decided to take care of this matter.
Zhang Changyao followed behind Yang Wuni as the two went to find Zhang Shuhua.
Xiao Douzi was weak, so Zhang Shuhua didn't leave the house much after winter started.
Guan Shu was in the east room, fiddling with the small shop he and Sui Yumi co-owned.
The shelves weren't full of goods yet; the empty spaces were all dusty.
Guan Shu saw Zhang Changyao and Yang Wuni enter from the doorway, but he didn't look up or open his eyes, pretending not to see them.
"Little Douzi, do you still recognize your Third Uncle?"
The first thing Zhang Changyao did when he entered the house was to pick up Xiao Douzi and kiss his cheek.
"Third Uncle, my house is full of delicious food. What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you," Xiao Douzi said, pointing to the door of the east room.
"Little Douzi is so good. Your third uncle doesn't eat anything, he saves it all for you." Zhang Changyao sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) holding Little Douzi.
"Auntie, why did you make such small clothes and pants for Xiao Douzi?"
Yang Wuni held up the little clothes that Zhang Shuhua had only half-sewn and held them up to Xiao Douzi for a moment.
"Wu Ni, this isn't for Xiao Douzi. Xiao Douzi's is being pressed down from behind."
Xiao Wenda should leave after spring, I'll make him a set of clothes.
The clothes that your sister-in-law was originally planning to take away were the leftovers of the little brat, but your child just happened to pick them up.
Now that the little brat is dead, I burned all his clothes and pants when I went to the grave.
We can only make new ones for Wenda. This material is thick and durable; it won't wear out even if we have several more children.
I wonder if it's cold over there, and if the supplies I sent were enough.
Zhang Shuhua touched her clothes, then thought of her eldest daughter-in-law and grandson, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Auntie, Wu Ni and I are going to help Yu Tian's wife with lactation."
Hearing Yutian's wife scolding Yutian was just like hearing parents scolding their children.
My second sister-in-law cries all the time, and her face is all chapped from crying.
"Could you persuade my second brother to find a separate house for Yutian and his wife?" Zhang Changyao quickly changed the subject.
"Changyao, I've said this to your second brother, but he neither agreed nor disagreed, just gave me a vague response."
Sigh! There's an old saying: "Don't advise gambling, don't advise prostitution; if you do, you'll never befriend either of them."
We're all outsiders; we can't persuade the child's mind. There's no use in getting anxious about this.
"The hardest part is for your second sister-in-law. Watching her son being insulted right under her nose must be unbearable for her," Zhang Shuhua said, bursting into tears again.
"Auntie, don't cry. There's nothing we can do if my second brother won't listen to what we've said."
Yang Wuni moved closer to the kang (a heated brick bed) and began to massage Zhang Shuhua's back.
"Wu Ni, Chang Yao, you two should stop meddling in other people's business."
Now, when people in the village see your family, they act like they've gone mad with envy.
I can't stand seeing you two living a good life. You two need to be careful.
Don't let anyone scheme against you; be discreet when you're popping popcorn.
Don't let their seemingly honest and simple appearance fool you; when it comes to scheming, no one can outsmart them.
He's happy if you're as poor as him, and he'll treat you like a brother.
If you live a better life than him, then you are his father's killer, and he would want to stab you to death to vent his hatred.
There used to be a blacksmith apprentice in our village, and we graduated together.
The two men running blacksmith shops in two different villages should not interfere with each other.
One day, the eldest son picked up a woman who had fled famine and took her as his wife.
That woman was beautiful and slender, with big, bright eyes; she was very lovable.
The second brother came to his elder brother's house for a drink and saw his sister-in-law, whom he found incredibly attractive.
He stopped doing his work and started flirting with his sister-in-law every day, trying to trick her into going home with him.
The eldest sister-in-law knew that the two old men were dishonest, so she told the eldest son about it.
The eldest son, protecting his wife, grabbed a hammer and chased the second son away.
I thought that was the end of it, but little did I know that this second son was no good.
He would go home, light the furnace, and forge iron, working for others for free without asking for a single penny.
In less than six months, the eldest son's family was starving and couldn't afford to eat.
The woman refused to stay with the eldest son and, under the cover of darkness, ran off to the second son's house, where the two of them slept together.
The eldest brother was an honest and kind man, but he couldn't swallow his anger and jumped into the river in resentment.
"That second brother is the blacksmith in our village, Liu Da Chahu's father." Zhang Shuhua sighed after she finished speaking.
"Auntie, I'm just a popcorn vendor, and I don't even sell it in the village. Surely I'm not being targeted?"
