Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Xie Jiaojiao had a dream that night. Actually, it was not entirely a dream. It was as if she had lived out her entire life.

The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao was awakened by crying and noise in the yard.

In the yard on the other side, Xie Meng'er was crying, saying that she would not marry that old rogue.

On the other side was the voice of Chen Hongju scolding the second wife.

Xie Jiaojiao stayed in the room for a while. Maybe the second wife couldn't stand being scolded, so she rushed out and started scolding Chen Hongju.

Xie Jiaojiao thought there was going to be something interesting to watch, so she quickly got out of bed, opened the door and went to watch the fun.

Chen Hongju scolded Zhou Cuihong: "You black-hearted people, you spend the money from selling your niece, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Zhou Cuihong refused to be outdone, and put her hands on her waist: "If there is thunder to strike, it will strike you first. It was you who first suggested selling my aunt, not me!"

"You're talking nonsense. It was you who suggested it. You said that instead of keeping such a fool at home and eating free meals, it would be better to give her to someone as a daughter-in-law."

Zhou Cuihong said sarcastically: "I didn't ask you to sell my aunt, you deserve it now that your daughter is being punished!"

"Ah! Zhou Cuihong, you bitch, I'm going to fight you. Did we sell my aunt? You also had a share, didn't you get any money?"

The two wrestled with each other. Zhou Cuihong grabbed Chen Hongju's hair and cursed, "You deserve it for what you did."

The two men's attacks were evenly matched. Xie Jiaojiao watched and made a sound of admiration, saying that both of them were quite powerful.

Xie Meng'er, who was standing next to her, watched her mother and second aunt fighting and kept crying. She didn't even bother to help. She saw that Chen Hongju had a finger of hair pulled out by Zhou Cuihong.

Chen Hongju screamed in pain.

Sun Ruhua rushed out of the house at this time, rushed up and slapped each of them: "Why are you making a fuss so early in the morning? Are you really trying to make the neighbors laugh at you?"

These two slaps were somewhat based on personal grudges; they were direct slaps on the face, and Sun Ruhua's palms were red.

After being slapped, the two men looked at their mother-in-law and immediately stopped talking. However, they still stared at each other viciously, wishing they could stare a hole in each other.

Sun Ruhua pointed at Xie Meng'er and said, "And you! You are crying so hard here so early in the morning because your father or mother died. I never saw you cry so hard when your grandfather passed away!"

Thinking about the day when her daughter was bullied and her grandchildren were in the house, but no one came out to rescue her, she became angry!

Xie Meng'er shut up immediately.

Sun Ruhua looked at her and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame your lazy mother and your father who can't tell good from bad! If they hadn't sold your aunt first, this wouldn't have happened to you!"

Xie Meng'er bit her lip and didn't dare to refute at all.

After Sun Ruhua finished scolding, she yelled at the two wives who were still glaring at each other, "Why don't you go cook?"

The two went reluctantly.

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Meng'er again, and Xie Meng'er immediately followed her to light the fire.

Seeing that Xie Meng'er went to work tactfully, Sun Ruhua noticed Xie Jiaojiao standing under the eaves and hurried over.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable today?"

Xie Jiaojiao felt very comfortable after watching such a great show.

He smiled and looked at Sun Ruhua: "Don't worry, mom, I'm fine everywhere."

Sun Ruhua finally felt relieved. The only thing that made her happy at home these days was that her daughter's madness was cured.

Sun Ruhua pinched Xie Jiaojiao's arm, raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears that had not yet fallen from her eyes: "Remember to burn some incense for your father later."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open and Xie Zhiyi came back carrying a basket of pig feed.

Xie Jiaojiao hurried forward and took it for him.

He said angrily: "How old are you? You're picking so much pig grass!"

Xie Zhiyi just smiled, his face full of sweat: "Sister, it's okay, I'm used to it."

Yes, Xie Zhiyi is even younger than the two sons of Xie Zhili and Xie Zhishu. When Sun Ruhua was pregnant with him, everyone in the village laughed at her for being an old woman with a baby. Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili also had many complaints. If Xie Zhen had not insisted that the child must be born, Sun Ruhua would have aborted it long ago.

Xie Zhen was very happy at first when he had a son in his old age, and Xie Zhiyi was spoiled for several years. But later, Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili complained more and more, and Xie Zhen almost died in a fall while going up the mountain. He had to stay in bed all day, so Xie Zhiyi's life became difficult. He had to help with the housework to prevent his two older brothers from looking down on him for eating for free.

"The grass in the field has turned yellow. Where did you get the pig grass?" Sun Ruhua wiped the sweat off his face.

Xie Zhiyi smiled and said, "I went to the mountains to get them. The grass there is still green."

Sun Ruhua had a look of distress on her face. The mountain road was difficult to walk on and it was far away...

Xie Jiaojiao was also distressed, so she pulled him aside and asked, "What time did you get up in the morning? How old are you? Can you go to the mountains? In the autumn and winter, there are bound to be wild beasts in the mountains. Are you tired of living?"

Xie Zhiyi smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm going with Niu Er from Aunt Wang's family."

Niu Er is Aunt Wang’s grandson. He is three years older than Xie Zhiyi and the same age as Xie Kun.

Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili didn't get up until breakfast time. There was no work to do in the fields, so they had nothing to do.

Breakfast is very light, just corn porridge and pickles. When there is nothing to do at home, we basically don’t eat rice. We save rice for when we have to work, and that’s when we feel hungry.

After breakfast, Xie Jiaojiao wanted to walk around the village. Sun Ruhua happened to be going to the river to wash clothes, so Xie Jiaojiao insisted on going with her. Xie Jiaojiao got sick because she fell into the river when she followed Sun Ruhua. Sun Ruhua said she would not let her go with her, so Xie Jiaojiao said, "Mom, I'm this old now, is it possible that I could fall into the river?"

Sun Ruhua had no choice but to take her with her. Xie Jiaojiao then pulled Xie Zhiyi along, saying, "Come on, follow me to the river to help mom wash clothes. If you stay at home, who knows what kind of work they'll ask you to do."

Xie Zhiyi said that he also needed to chop the pig grass he brought back.

Xie Jiaojiao directly stuck the knife on the chopping board and said loudly: "There are two grown men at home, is it your turn to do this?"

After saying this, he rolled his eyes at Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili, then looked at his two older nephews.

Hearing her say this, Xie Zhishu and Xie Zhili had unhappy expressions on their faces, while Xie Qian and Xie Kun were heartless and pretended not to understand.

Xie Jiaojiao took Xie Zhiyi and Sun Ruhua out.

As soon as they left, Xie Zhili said, "It's better to be crazy!"

Xie Zhishu also felt that if this girl was still crazy, how could his Meng'er marry that old bastard Wu Dashan!

That old man is even older than him!

At this time, Xie Zhili said to Xie Zhishu: "Brother, do we really want to support this girl and that brat Xie Zhiyi?"

Xie Zhishu looked at him. How could he not know what he was thinking?

But he didn't say anything, because Xie Meng'er was still crying in the room.

Xie Zhishu stood up and went to see his daughter.

Chen Hongju was also in the room, facing the water in the foot basin and looking at her torn scalp.

As soon as she saw Xie Zhishu coming in, she immediately complained, "Boss, look at that bitch Zhou Cuihong, she's making my head spin."

Xie Zhishu walked over to Xie Meng'er and said, "Okay, stop crying!"

Xie Meng'er sobbed and said, "Dad, Meng'er doesn't want to marry that old rogue!"

Xie Qian also came in.

The whole family was in Xie Zhishu and Chen Hongju's room.

Xie Zhishu asked, "How much silver do we have in our house?"

Chen Hongju immediately took out all the silver she had hidden, but it was less than one or two taels of silver.

The two families took half of the three taels of silver, and went to the town to buy a lot of things. The rest are all here, including some of their own savings over the years.

When Xie Meng'er saw this, tears started to flow again.

"Why are you crying? It makes me upset just listening to you!" Xie Zhishu yelled.

Xie Meng'er was instantly frightened, hugged Chen Hongju's arm, and cried out aggrievedly, "Mom!"

Chen Hongju immediately protected her and said to Xie Zhishu in a bad mood, "Why are you being so mean to Meng'er? She was already feeling wronged."

Xie Zhishu sighed: "If I had known earlier, I should have sold that damned girl Xie Jiaojiao earlier."

Chen Hongju comforted Xie Meng'er and said, "Boss, where can we get the money now? Our Meng'er is so pretty, wouldn't it be a waste for her to marry that old scoundrel Wu Dashan? If she waits until she reaches the age of marriage, what good family will Meng'er be able to find?"

Xie Zhishu looked at Xie Meng'er and realized that this daughter was indeed impatient. Thinking about what Xie Zhili had just said about the division of the family, he seemed to have an idea in his mind: "The second son just told me about the division of the family. I am the eldest son, so I must be the only one to bring it up. So you go and tell the second son's wife that I can bring it up, but they must give us the money they had divided up in the first place, otherwise I will let them support Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi, two freeloaders, together with us."

Chen Hongju thought Xie Zhishu's words made sense, but then she thought, "Boss, even if they paid the money, we still don't have enough!"

Xie Zhishu waved his hand and said confidently, "We have to find someone to pay for the rest!"

As soon as Chen Hongju saw Xie Zhishu's expression, she knew what he was thinking and immediately smiled: "I knew the head of the family would not let our Meng'er be bullied."
