I ate a piece of cake, which temporarily relieved my hunger, and I felt more energetic when I walked.
Carrying a heavy basket, I walked on the rustic country road, stepping on the falling poplar leaves.
The final destination of these fallen leaves is that they are swept home by the villagers and piled up for burning.
In this age and season, there are very few people burning coal. Free firewood is everywhere in the countryside, so naturally there will not be very few people burning coal, which costs money.
Farming is busy now, and there are very few people in the village. Meng Yao went around most of the village to the south, but he didn't meet anyone.
But as soon as they left the village, they heard someone arguing.
As soon as Meng Yao heard the quarrel, his heart thumped.
Standing on tiptoes and looking over, I saw a familiar figure. It was my sister-in-law Wu Aizhen, who was holding her waist and raising her arms like an aggressive rooster, quarreling with others.
Meng Yao felt dizzy when he heard you and me scolding each other, so he hurriedly walked over, planning to break up the fight.
Before she could get close, her mother-in-law Liu Cuihua came running over with a fork in her arms.
That posture was like killing someone.
"Mom!"
As soon as Wu Aizhen saw Liu Cuihua, she was so frightened that she called out for her mother, jumped several feet high, and ran away.
She ran, and Liu Cuihua chased her, raising her fork high, vowing to beat this prodigal woman to death.
"You ran away from me, and you ran away from me again? I guess what did I ask you to do? You didn't pay any attention to my words, did you?"
"Mom, it's not my fault, it's that old woman. She shamelessly snatched the wild garlic I saw first. It's not my fault!"
When Liu Cuihua first ran over, her face was red and her neck thick with anger. After hearing Wu Aizhen's words, she immediately took the fork and ran to the old woman who was arguing with Wu Aizhen, and her conversation changed instantly.
"Aunt Zhao, this is your fault. You are already quite old, but you are still robbing the younger generation. Do you still have any dignity?"
"Who robbed her things? Where did you see it? What your wife said is what she said. She said that everything in this land belongs to your family, but you should move it all back!"
Aunt Zhao was not an economical person either. She was quarreling with Liu Cuihua with a face full of wrinkles.
There was a handful of wild onions in her basket, still with soil, and they were freshly dug out, and they were tender green.
Sister-in-law Wu Aizhen did not admit defeat and argued with her with her neck held high, "I saw it first, mother. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Hua and Mother-in-Law. They were beside me, but they all saw it!"
The beautiful lady and naughty lady who were stuck here looked at each other.
They were nearby, but how could they figure this out?
Here's what happens:
Aunt Zhao was digging wild vegetables in the ditch, and the wild garlic that had been hidden in the weeds emerged. Wu Aizhen saw it with her sharp eyes on the road, and called out "wild garlic," and Aunt Zhao turned around and picked it into her own basket.
When the two were arguing, Aunt Zhao explained that she had also seen it and that she had found it.
Aunt Zhao was close, so she said it was reasonable to see her.
The father-in-law said the public was right, the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right, but they couldn't solve the case.
Meng Yao's lips twitched as he listened, this happened over a handful of wild garlic...
"mother!"
Meng Yao, a living person, approached, but no one noticed. He suddenly spoke, startling Wu Aizhen and the others.
"Hey, look who is this? Am I dazzled? The lady of our family is actually out!"
Wu Aizhen's words were full of yin and yang, and she turned her lips crookedly to show her disdain for Meng Yao.
The relationship between the two sisters-in-law is indeed not very good.
One is very quarrelsome and fights for the first place in everything, while the other is too lazy to leave the house very often. They live together and have conflicts one after another.
Meng Yao thought about how he had never done any work since he was married to his husband's family, and he ate and drank for nothing all day long.
On the contrary, this sister-in-law was busy working with her mother-in-law. Although she was full of complaints, she never did less than what she should do. She immediately smiled and said to please: "Sister-in-law!"
