"Mom, why are you being so particular?" Yaya didn't understand.
After all, people in the village just dress warmly every day, who would care about it? Let alone pretend to be particular about it.
"For example, if Yaya ran out and was covered in stinky sweat today, if your grandma saw it, she would say, girls can't be like this, girls should smell good.
For example, if you wear a purple top, you must not wear a red hat, and if you wear a shirt, you must wear high-waisted pants."
As Xie Xiaojuan spoke, she recalled her mother with a smile on her lips.
Of course, this was in the past, but things have changed since then, and after so many things, what will the little old lady who is lingering on the sickbed look like?
"When mom comes back, I will bring you butterfly cakes." Xie Xiaojuan said with a smile.
"Mom, what is butterfly cake?"
"It's your grandma's favorite pastry."
The mother and daughter asked and answered questions and fell asleep while talking.
Xie Xiaojuan had a rare night's sleep since she didn't go to work tomorrow. The thought of returning to the home she had left for so many years soon made her wake up the next day with a smile on her face.
She reached for the money under the bed.
The money was given to her by Cree Yaqian yesterday. She added a few hundred more and planned to take it back to her parents' home.
She knew what kind of character Liu Feng and his mother were. They usually kept their money in the store and took home as much as they needed.
But……
As Xie Xiaojuan touched it, the smile on her face froze.
Yaya also woke up at this time and saw her mother's face looking a little strange.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Liu Feng!"
Xie Xiaojuan's hesitation only lasted a second. The next moment, she stood up and walked out aggressively.
She still underestimated it.
Underestimating Liu Feng and being so fucking shameless.
At this time, Liu Feng was working in the fields when he saw Xie Xiaojuan rushing over with long strides.
"Liu Feng, where is my money?"
Xie Xiaojuan was so angry that her volume increased uncontrollably. The villagers who were working around her all stopped their work when they heard the sound and looked over here to watch the excitement.
Liu Feng was questioned in front of so many people, and his face seemed a little confused.
"What...what money? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Are you still here pretending to be stupid with me?" Xie Xiaojuan's voice became louder and louder: "I took the five hundred yuan back last night and put it under the bed. If it hadn't been for you, wouldn't there have been a thief in the house?"
"What are you talking about? I...I don't know.
Madam Gua, you are sleepy and confused. Why are you making such a fuss so early in the morning?"
"Liu Feng!"
Xie Xiaojuan shouted at the top of her lungs.
"At this point, are you still pretending to be with me? Do you want me to call the police? Do you want me to call the police?
That's the money for me to go back to my parents' home. Give it to me quickly.
Liu Feng..."
She had already bought a ticket to go to the city at noon. If she didn't get the money, it would be too late. She was so angry that she directly grabbed Liu Feng's clothes.
She had endured it for too long, and all the years of forbearance and grievance broke out at this moment. She just wished she could pull the man in front of her to die together.
"Do you still want to be shameless?
You usually just use my money, but if you take this money now, are you still not a man?
Why was I so blind that I found someone like you?
Give it back to me, give it back quickly..."
Liu Feng didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or because so many people were watching, but this time he didn't fight back.
But Mrs. Liu on the side couldn't bear it when she saw it.
This Xie Xiaojuan dares to do something to her son? Is this even possible?
Mrs. Liu threw away the hoe in her hand, rushed over, pushed Xie Xiaojuan away, put her hands on her hips, and protected Liu Feng behind her like an eagle guarding a chicken.
"I got your money," she said.
"What?"
Xie Xiaojuan was pushed a few steps away, barely able to stabilize herself, when she heard Mrs. Liu's words. She turned back to look at her, her eyes already filled with scarlet red.
"You take my money? Why do you take my money?"
"Joke." Mrs. Liu was not fazed at all.
"What do you call your money? Now that you have married into the Liu family, that is the Liu family's money! I can take it if I want, but do I need your permission?"
"you……"
Xie Xiaojuan bit her back teeth.
She was too lazy to argue with these people now, so she let out a sigh of relief and just said: "Give me the money!"
"No!"
Mrs. Liu refused flatly: "You are too embarrassed. You agreed to hand over all the wages you earned, but you ended up secretly hiding your private money behind our backs. If I hadn't been more thoughtful, I would still be in the dark.
"
Mrs. Liu noticed that something was wrong with Xie Xiaojuan during this period. She was buying clothes and doing hair. Yesterday, she asked Liu Feng to look for her to see if there was anything fishy about her.
Oh, after this search, she really found him.
"That's my money to go home!" Xie Xiaojuan said loudly.
She finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and tears burst out from her scarlet eyes.
"go home?
What home are you going back to?
When you get married, the Liu family is your family!
Which woman is married and still thinks about running away to her parents’ house every day?
Don't think that I don't know what you think. You have long disliked that our family is poor. During this time, you have dressed up in a fancy way. What do you want to do?
You want to go back and ask your mother to find a man for you. Do you want to steal someone?
You despicable child, after getting married, you want to study for a while, and want to go back for a while, you have never lived in peace!"
Mrs. Liu cursed viciously, not as if she was cursing her daughter-in-law who lived under the same roof, but as if she was cursing some bloody enemy.
The folks on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey, I said, Mother Liu, you are wrong. I am not selling to your family when I marry her. Your Xiaojuan is quite capable. She has been married for so many years and only wants to go back to her natal family. Why don't you just let her go?
Let her go back."
"Yes, your Xiaojuan is capable and hard-working. What a wonderful wife. It's so unpleasant for you to scold her like that."
"That's right. All the money they earn is given to you. You can't keep it all in your hands. If you don't give it to them when they need it urgently, who will give it to you in the future?"
"That's right, that's right..."
There were echoing voices all around.
"Let me tell you, the Liu family is just not satisfied. Those educated youth who wanted to run away have already run away. How can they wait until now?"
"This family treats their wives harshly. Look at how they beat Xiaojuan like this before."
"Hey, Liu Feng is not a human at all. You don't know him..."
Mrs. Liu really didn't expect that the folks in her hometown would turn their elbows outward for decades.
She listened, but no one spoke to her.
Seeing that the situation was not good, she simply sat down on the ground and slapped her thigh.
