Chapter 427: Chapter 16: The Shi Family is too Shameless_2
The Shi Family is different.
This morning, they once again naturally didn’t get breakfast—not that they had nothing at all, they could pick up the pancake from the ground and eat it after scraping off the dirt.
Though occasionally they’d get some sand in their mouths, no one would just watch food lying on the ground.
But, aside from the hunger, they also got beaten up!
Speaking of this tragic event, the two brothers from the Shi Family, Shi Weiguo and Shi Shengnian, were practically about to cry.
——The two grown men didn’t even get to touch the younger sibling all morning, instead, they got beaten up and almost had a worn-out shoe sole stuffed down their throats.
The two of them were carrying hoes and digging the ground, the early summer sun burning them, their anxious hearts also felt burning, they clenched their teeth:
"No wonder Chu River was so willing to marry his daughter off, it turns out she’s like this!"
Thinking about it, even the Chu Family has been beaten up plenty.
So they felt even more fear.
Others were working alongside them, curiously approaching: "Wasn’t it your family’s joyous occasion yesterday? What good food did you eat last night?"
"Don’t mention it!"
The Eldest Shi put down his hoe: "There’s not a single good person in the Chu Family, and my sister-in-law is even worse—last night didn’t let us have a bite of food, and this morning directly flipped the table and beat us!"
He’s still hurting now.
"It hurts so much."
...
After saying this, the few men nearby started to swing their hoes again disinterestedly:
"If you don’t want to talk, then don’t say it, why say such unpleasant things, are we even planning to eat at your place?"
"Exactly, how old is Little He anyway, with that tiny frame—Old Chu Family never let her eat her fill, and during work points, they treated her like a man."
"If she wasn’t so honest, would she do whatever her parents say?"
"And hitting people... why don’t you mention that she not only hit people but also took all your food?"
Villagers mocked sarcastically.
Shi Laoer stared dumbfounded: "How do you know? Indeed, she took all the food, we didn’t even get a bite!"
She raised her voice a bit, and the nearby aunt in the field also raised her voice:
"You guys are not being fair!"
"Earlier, I heard your wife say that the food at home is locked in your mom’s cabinet, and you scoop out portions beforehand... Little He just got married, with the man not home, she’s still figuring out her way around the house, how did she manage to take your food?"
"You two grown men couldn’t even fight off a girl."
After saying this, the men and women stared at the Shi family brothers, shaking their heads repeatedly.
Meanwhile, on another hill, Zhao Xiuhua’s face was gloomy, her mouth drawn down, walking slowly, seemingly unable to bear the pain on her body.
Aunt Juhua was designated to do weeding with him today, couldn’t help but ask: "What’s going on?"
...
She gave permission last night for Daya to learn sewing at her house—saying it was sewing practice, in daylight Daya was helping her out, and when darkness fell, Daya was groping around fetching firewood and chopping pigweed...
The little girl did a lot of work at home, even in the dark, her movements were quick and nimble.
This also eased Aunt Juhua’s mind a bit.
Not to mention, this girl only worked, and her family felt bad and offered her a mixed grain pancake, which she refused and immediately turned and ran away.
Aunt Juhua mused to herself—no matter whether Aunt Chu River can follow the army, or whether she can take her nephew and niece, just judging by this girl’s character, she’ll likely turn out fine in the future.
She didn’t teach traditional embroidery but just ordinary cutting and sewing skills, treating it as giving the girl a bit of hope.
Due to this twisted relationship, Aunt Juhua’s attitude toward Zhao Xiuhua was not dismissive today, instead, quite complicated, thus asked a bit more.
...
Zhao Xiuhua’s face had been prepped all along the way.
Who doesn’t know Aunt Juhua is not very talkative, and upon hearing her pass the topic, she eagerly began to speak: "Aunt, let me tell you, my little daughter-in-law might be possessed!"
Whoa!
Aunt Juhua was startled.
Nowadays, breaking superstitions, being possessed is not something that can be said casually.
"Why say something so frightening?"
She didn’t quite believe it.
Zhao Xiuhua gritted her teeth, spoke in pain and disbelief: "Originally, Little He was so honest!"
"But ever since she entered our house, first she ate up all our food leaving none, and then early in the morning flipped the table and hit people, even I got hit!"
She groaned: "Oh my, my body, it’s beaten so badly that I can’t move."
Aunt Juhua widened her eyes: What?
