Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The downpour showed no sign of stopping, and the Jiang family's original plan to go to the town to buy food fell through. Everyone's brows, which had relaxed due to the stop of the rain, were wrinkled again. This time, they looked at the dark clouds rolling like huge waves on the horizon. No longer have the expectation that it will stop in a short while.

When Boss Jiang came back, he was followed by the second grandpa and second grandma who were looking grim.

"For God's sake, why don't we have time to stop!"

Second Grandpa couldn't help but complain.

The second grandma rubbed her hands and said to Qian Xiuzhu: "Xiuzhu, I don't know when it will rain. From now on, my family will eat our own food and just lend us the stove and house. I won't eat with you."

Before Qian Xiuzhu could speak, Old Man Jiang took the lead and said: "How much food can you, old and young, eat? Brother and sister-in-law, we know your family's situation well. If you can save some, don't talk about that. Here’s what you’re talking about.”

Seeing that the second uncle was still embarrassed, Qian Xiuzhu said quickly: "As for the second uncle, I watched Tianya and Xiaofeng grow up. To be honest, it's not an exaggeration to treat them as my own children, no matter what. , my family can still afford the food rations for your family, and I heard from the head of the family that he ate a lot of your food when he was a child, and he has remembered this kindness for many years, so we must be given a chance to repay him, right?"

"Hey--" Second Grandma was so moved by Qian Xiuzhu's words that she burst into tears and kept responding while wiping her tears.

Mr. Jiang naturally had no objection to his wife's decision.

When it was time to cook, Jiang Huaixu followed Zheng Liniang into the kitchen to help, and Tianya followed Jiang Huaixu into the kitchen.

Halfway through the meal, a quarrel suddenly came from the courtyard next door, so loud that the rain couldn't cover it up.

Jiang Huaixu walked to the kitchen door and listened carefully. It was the voices of Mrs. Liu and the Second Mistress, mixed with the sad cry of Mrs. Zhao.

No wonder she met Mrs. Liu, she was assigned to the Feng family.

She listened for a while and found that Mrs. Liu didn't know whether it was because of the leakage of her front teeth, and her fighting ability was not as good as before. Feng became more and more proud of having the upper hand, and finally told Mrs. Liu to get out of her house.

After a commotion, there was no movement in the courtyard next door.

"Why do you like to hear other people quarrel so much?" Zheng Liniang smiled and poked Jiang Huaixu's head.

"Sister-in-law, Mrs. Liu actually lives in the house next door? This is really strange..."

Before she finished her sentence, there was another voice at the door of her courtyard.

When Jiang Huaixu heard this, he felt bad and hurried back to the kitchen door without losing the firewood in his hand.

She leaned against the door frame with her arms folded, watching the scene before her with interest.

Strange, really strange, Mrs. Liu started to use bitter tricks.

I saw Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Zhao, Jiang Fu and Jiang Rong kneeling at the entrance of the courtyard.

Mrs. Liu's mouth was bruised, and there was blood that had not been dried and had condensed at the corners of her mouth. Her gray hair was soaked by the rain and scattered in a few strands in front of her forehead, which made her look even more miserable. She kept shouting: "His father, If you come out and take a look at us, we will be driven to death!"

When her eyes glanced at Jiang Huaixu, the fear in her eyes was obvious. She shrank back, then straightened her back and continued shouting.

Before even shouting a few words, Old Man Jiang walked out of the main room in the rain.

His face was very ugly, but when he saw the people standing outside the courtyard gate, his face was somewhat moved.

Jiang Huaixu raised his eyebrows, and was about to continue to see what kind of monster Mrs. Liu wanted to be, when one of his hands was held by someone.

"No matter what your father does, mother will protect you. If your father is soft-hearted, he will be confused. Just like in the past, no matter how domineering Mrs. Liu was, he would turn a blind eye. In his opinion, that was a tough talk. He is soft-hearted, the two of them were able to reconcile solely because he saw no hope in Erfang and his family..."

Qian Xiuzhu whispered these words to Jiang Huaixu in a low voice, as if she was not talking about her father-in-law.

Jiang Huaixu's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them overlapping each other, and he said with a smile: "Mom, if I want to take in a few people from the second room, I won't get in front of them."

Qian Xiuzhu sighed softly, touched the little girl's hair, and looked at the door of the courtyard.

Mrs. Liu was tugging at the corner of Old Jiang's clothes and sobbing sadly, her words unclear.

Old Man Jiang turned his back to everyone, and no one could see the expression on his face.

In the end, Old Man Jiang let the four people into the yard.

Qian Xiuzhu suppressed the anger in her heart and pulled Jiang Huaixu into the main room.

Her father-in-law has really spent so many years reading sage books in vain, and now he is obsessed with Liu Meixiang, who has plotted against him!

Her mother told her about the incident between her father-in-law and Ms. Liu when they were young. Ms. Liu followed her parents to the Jiang family to visit relatives. After the family got her father-in-law drunk at night, Ms. Liu climbed directly onto his father-in-law's bed. bed.

The next day, Mrs. Liu blamed her father-in-law for staining her innocence. She stood by the river and said she wanted to jump into the river, which made everyone aware of the incident.

The father-in-law had no choice but to marry Mrs. Liu.

At that time, she wondered if there was something wrong with the family's brains, and they could be plotted against in their own family. Later, she found out that it was the father-in-law's idea.

Old Man Jiang said with an embarrassed expression: "Boss, boss's wife, Mrs. Liu, she can forget about it herself, aren't there Sister Fu and Sister Rong around us? Let them come in to take shelter from the rain, and let them go when the rain stops."

"It's not appropriate." Qian Xiuzhu said coldly, "I have no problem with my sister-in-law and her two children. If Mrs. Liu, a widow who divorced her father-in-law, comes into our house again, it will have a bad reputation."

Old Man Jiang's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Liu started to cry.

"What the eldest daughter-in-law said is that I would be satisfied if the second daughter-in-law and the two children can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. The old woman has old bones, where can she go?"

As she said that, she put down the food she was holding in her arms and said, "Old lady, go out now... to save yourself from being an eyesore."

Jiang Huaixu was dumbfounded. Good guy, did she open up Mrs. Liu's Ren and Du channels with just one beating?

This White Lotus way is good. It seems that to get men, the White Lotus way has worked in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Sure enough, Old Man Jiang stopped the person.

"Boss and daughter-in-law, what time has it been? Why do you still care about this? Just let them live in the main room."

The final word, leaving no room for refutation.

"Ms. Zhao, let me ask you, where did Shu Jian go? Why wasn't he with you?" Old Man Jiang asked anxiously.

Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips twice and glanced at her mother-in-law from time to time.

"He went to town early in the morning, saying he was stocking up on food, but he hasn't come back yet..." Mrs. Liu started to cry again.

The second grandma immediately rolled her eyes and snorted coldly. She was about to say something, but was stopped by the second grandpa's look.

Why do you, an outsider, get involved in other people's affairs? !

The second mistress stared back, unwilling to be outdone, but didn't say anything.

When Old Man Jiang heard this, his face was full of joy, and he said, how could the child he raised not be repentant?

It’s good to change it, it’s good to change it, the prodigal son will never change his fortune!

Taking into account the face of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, he still kept a straight face and said, "You should think of your own ways to eat and drink, and sleep on the ground. When the second brother comes back, I will ask the village chief to make new arrangements for you."

After saying that, he gave Madam Liu a warning look, "If you dare to cause trouble at home, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Mrs. Liu only lowered her head to wipe her tears, and Ms. Zhao could only bite the bullet and answer.
