Chapter 37: People from the Old House Come to Cause Trouble
Xie Jiaojiao ran to the town entrance out of breath to meet up with Sun Ruhua and the others.
"Why did you take so long?" Sun Ruhua asked with concern.
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand without answering. She got on the ox cart and took a long time to calm down.
Thinking about how she had just beaten that idiot, she felt very happy. But after thinking about it, she decided to be more careful when going to town next time, so as not to run into this group of people again. She beat up that guy today, and given that guy's personality, he would definitely not let her go.
As I was thinking this, I arrived at the village.
Sun Ruhua thanked Wang Pozi, and Wang Pozi smiled and told her to come over earlier to help, and Sun Ruhua agreed.
Whenever there is a wedding in the village, those who have good relationships with the family will always go early to help, so that when your family has problems, there will be someone to help you.
After returning home, Sun Ruhua wanted to ask her something, but the words did not come out.
After putting down the backpack, Sun Ruhua started to busy herself with cooking and asked Xie Jiaojiao to go to the field to pick two radishes to fry them later!
These days, they eat either radishes or cabbages every day. Xie Jiaojiao is too sick of it, but there is nothing she can do in ancient times. It is not like before when she could eat fresh vegetables all year round.
While eating, Sun Ruhua said that she had to clean up the two plots of land that her cheap father had reclaimed in the afternoon. The soybeans planted there before had ripened long ago, but she had not had time to harvest them.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. If the soybeans were harvested, the land could be used to plant the pile of sugarcane tips in the backyard. She remembered that when she was a child, she would buy sugarcane during the Chinese New Year. Her grandparents would save the tips and bury them in the ground, and they would sprout in the spring.
After working for an afternoon, the three people finally moved all the soybeans in the field and the poles back home.
The main reason why we were able to move all these things back so quickly was that the land was reclaimed and the soil was barren, so the soybeans did not grow well.
Sun Ruhua cleaned the front yard and piled the soybean stalks on top. Then she went to Wang Po's house to borrow some tools and hit the soybean stalks with them. Xie Jiaojiao had seen this kind of farm tool at home when she was a child, but now she really couldn't remember what it was called.
After threshing all the soybeans on the surface, Sun Ruhua turned the soybean stalks over.
Xie Jiaojiao stepped forward and took the farm tools from her hand: "Mom, let me do it. You are tired too. Take a rest."
Sun Ruhua didn't argue with her. After all, she was old and felt tired after doing any work.
Xie Jiaojiao imitated Sun Ruhua and cleaned the soybean stalks in a few strokes.
Once the soybean stalks are removed, there will be golden soybeans underneath, some of which still have shells. You can just pinch them with your hands.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Sun Ruhua went to the kitchen to cook.
Xie Zhiyi took a winnowing basket and picked up all the soybeans on the ground.
They were still working on it when someone suddenly showed up at the house.
Xie Jiaojiao was quite surprised to see the people from the first and second wives coming.
Wow, what rare guests! It's almost dark and these two families coming at the same time, it must be nothing good.
Sun Ruhua also saw it and came out with a soup spoon.
"What are you doing here!"
As soon as Chen Hongju entered the room, she looked unhappy.
"Mom, after all, our Zhishu was involved in the reclamation of these two plots of land, and it was Zhishu and I who planted the soybeans. You didn't even tell me when you were harvesting them!"
Xie Zhili also spoke up at this time: "That's right! Mother, these soybeans were planted before the family split up. After all, this is food for our whole family. You can't eat it all by yourself."
After saying that, Xie Zhili and Xie Zhishu looked at each other, took out a cloth bag from their arms, squatted beside Xie Zhiyi, and took the initiative to pack the soybeans.
When Xie Zhiyi saw the two brothers, he was frightened reflexively and ran directly to Xie Jiaojiao and hid behind her.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the two brothers of the Xie family who were no different from robbers, snatched the soup spoon from Sun Ruhua's hand, and hit the two of them, not forgetting to hit the hand that had just been filled with soybeans twice more.
When Chen Hongju saw her husband being beaten, she rushed forward to grab the spoon from Xie Jiaojiao's hand to avoid being beaten as well!
"Xie Jiaojiao, you're fucking crazy!"
Xie Jiaojiao pointed at the three people opposite with a spoon: "Xie Zhishu, Xie Zhili, did I agree to let you into my house? As soon as you came in, you robbed my things. I would beat you to death to protect myself!"
"Who stole your things? I planted these things in the first place, before the family split up! Why can't I take them?"
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the three people in front of her and sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"
"These two plots of land are right on that sloping hill. You can see them from the old house in the yard! You knew we were harvesting soybeans, so you wanted to wait until we finish harvesting and then come to your house to share the land for free? You're dreaming!"
"Since we have taken all of this back, then it all belongs to us!"
"Why! Why do you get all the benefits!" Chen Hongju yelled. Thinking about the pig from last time, she still felt distressed. If they raised the pig and sold it before the Chinese New Year next month, their eldest wife would be able to get a lot of money!
Sun Ruhua stood up at this time: "I can only survive with them!"
As soon as Sun Ruhua spoke, Chen Hongju didn't dare to challenge her. She didn't dare to say it, but Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili dared to do so.
"Mom, you are living with them, but we two brothers also said at the beginning that we would support you. It was you who insisted on living with them, and we also paid for your retirement. It is unreasonable for you to say this now. And it is just a small amount of soybeans. You can directly give Xie Jiaojiao two acres of reclaimed land. We want to share some soybeans, but you don't agree. You are too biased!"
Xie Zhili agreed with Xie Zhishu: "That's right."
Sun Ruhua was so angry that she couldn't stand steadily. Xie Jiaojiao supported her and said to Xie Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, help mother go back to the room to rest. Don't come out if you hear anything!"
Sun Ruhua glanced at Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao nodded at her: "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Sun Ruhua didn't even look at the two brothers before going in.
After Sun Ruhua entered the room, Xie Jiaojiao said to the three people, "You guys saw that there was something good there and wanted to take some of it, right?"
"We are taking advantage of you? We planted these soybeans, so if there is any advantage, it's you! You are a girl, and you are sharing the family land and the family food. What else do you want?"
Xie Jiaojiao stared at Xie Zhili: "What's wrong with being a woman? A woman is not a human being? A woman doesn't need to eat? Am I a female Bodhisattva?"
Xie Zhili didn't answer: "Stop talking nonsense, we must share the soybeans!"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Sure, since we have to divide it, then let's divide the hard labor of me, mother and Zhiyi this afternoon! If I remember correctly, if we hire a long-term worker for a day, it would cost at least fifteen or sixteen cents, right? The three of us did all this work in half a day, so let's count it as half! That's twenty-four cents! Pay the money, and the soybeans will be divided immediately!"
The three were not happy because it cost money.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at the three of them: "What? You guys are the ones who need to sort it out. Now that I have sorted it out, it's time to pay. You guys pay!"
Chen Hongju put her hands on her hips and said, "Other farmhands are so good at hard labor, why do you three have to be so tall?"
"That's how much I say! Why? This is my hard work, so I can't ask for a price?"
"If you are willing to take the copper coins, I will give them to you. If you disagree, get out right now!"
The two brothers looked at each other and neither of them was willing to pay, as the soybeans were not growing well to begin with.
They came here just because they didn't want Xie Jiaojiao to be the only one to take advantage of this. There was such a small amount of soybeans, and after dividing it up, it would only be half a bag, not enough to sell. Now they had to pay for it, and both families were obviously unwilling to do so.
Xie Zhishu said, "Before, you ate food for free at home, and I haven't paid you yet."
The three of them looked at Xie Jiaojiao with an expression that said yes!
"Xie Zhishu, are you mentally ill? Did you split up the family before? If you had any objections, you should have said so! If you don't pay, don't blame me for kicking you out!"
Xie Jiaojiao waved the soup spoon in her hand as she spoke, and the three were forced to retreat to the door.
Chen Hongju scolded: "You two grown men can't beat a woman?"
The two brothers were scared by Xie Jiaojiao. Is Xie Jiaojiao just a woman? Is she a crazy woman?
When they heard Chen Hongju say this, they immediately pushed her in front of Xie Jiaojiao: "If you can do it, go ahead!"
As soon as Chen Hongju saw Xie Jiaojiao's eyes and the soup spoon in her hand, she immediately turned into a wimp.
Then he ran behind the two brothers.
Xie Jiaojiao was very satisfied that they were afraid of her, as this would prevent them from causing trouble in the future.
He raised the soup spoon and closed the door: "Don't come to my house no matter what, you are not welcome!"
Chen Hongju was still cursing at the door, but seeing that Xie Jiaojiao ignored her, she finally followed Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili away, cursing.
