The fact that Liu Zhi wanted to conquer He Xiuyuan through Plan 3 was not very glorious, so of course she kept a low profile as long as she could. But... she was worried that Yuan Meilian didn't keep her mouth shut, and it would be terrible if she spread the word for her. She could imagine that the aunts in the village were behind her back to arrange her words, which must be extremely unpleasant to listen to.
For this reason, Liu Zhi tossed in bed for most of the night before falling asleep. Before going to bed, she thought to herself that she must find an explanation to Yuan Meilian.
The next day, Liu Zhi went to Yuan's house to find Yuan Meilian, specially choosing a time when Yang Lan was not at home. There are a lot of things that can be picked on the mountain at this time of year. Yang Lan goes up the mountain with a few women almost every day before dawn. After six o'clock, she picks a basket full of wild vegetables and fruits and goes down the mountain for dinner.
When Liu Zhi went, Yuan Chengxu's newly married daughter-in-law, Feng Xiyue, was also there, busy doing housework outside.
Yuan Chengxu was still sleeping in bed, and Liu Zhi saw him lying on the bed with only a brief glance. She withdrew her eyes in disgust, because Yuan Chengxu had made such a big statement on his wedding day that he would work hard in the future so that his wife could live a good life.
Oh, dogs can’t change their habit of eating shit.
Liu Zhi said hello to Feng Xiyue, which alerted Yuan Chengxu inside. He ran out wearing only a I-shaped vest and asked, "Why did you come to my house?"
Liu Zhi glanced at him, and Yuan Chengxu took a few steps back timidly.
"Do you care?" Liu Zhi left these words and walked straight to Yuan Meilian's room.
Yuan Meilian was also busy. A mouse came into the house last night, causing trouble for her all night. Now she moved the cabinets, tables and everything else away, determined to find the nasty mouse.
Upon hearing that Yuan Meilian was looking for mice, Liu Zhi quickly exited the room and moved slowly on tiptoes, fearing that the mice would accidentally come to her feet.
Yuan Meilian is a courageous girl. When she moved a dusty jar away, there was a "squeak" from the wall inside, and then she saw a not-so-small mouse jumping out.
"Okay! I finally found it!" Yuan Meilian picked up the broom she had prepared and struck it in the direction where the mouse was escaping.
The mouse was frightened. After being chased for several rounds, it ran outside in a panic, which happened to be in the direction of Liu Zhi.
"Ah..." Liu Zhi screamed and walked towards the kitchen. Because she was too panicked, she didn't see Feng Xiyue coming out with breakfast, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Fortunately, Feng Xiyue was flexible and the whole pot of sweet potato soup was thrown to the side without them touching it.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry!" Liu Zhi grabbed Feng Xiyue's arm to check. As soon as she lifted up her sleeve, she found a large piece of purple.
Liu Zhi is very familiar. This is a wound that Yuan Shanmei often had in the past.
Is it possible that an old woman like Yang Lan still beats her daughter-in-law? Liu Zhi frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Feng Xiyue quickly stepped away and put her sleeves down again, covering her entire arm. She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."
"You..." Liu Zhi was thinking about how to speak. Yuan Chengxu on the other side heard the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the floor and hurried over.
Seeing a puddle of sweet potato soup on the ground, Yuan Chengxu was so angry that he pointed at Feng Xiyue's face and started scolding, "You useless thing! You can even knock over a soup! This is the basin my mother brought from her parents' house. , do you want to die if you break it?”
Feng Xiyue's face was ashen and she didn't say a word.
Liu Zhi looked on, feeling a little incredible. How could a coward like Yuan Chengxu treat his partner so badly? He is obviously the happiest on his wedding day, isn't it?
"I broke this soup, why are you scolding her? I'll pay for the bowl and the sweet potatoes, that's it!" Liu Zhi stepped forward to block Feng Xiyue and put her behind him.
Yuan Chengxu scolded him, but he didn't say anything at the moment, just snorted and left.
Before leaving, he said loudly, "My mother will come back for breakfast later! You hurry up and make another pot!"
Feng Xiyue nodded, turned around and returned to the stove.
Just at this time, the mouse that was being chased all over the ground was finally beaten to death by Yuan Meilian. Yuan Meilian stretched out her hand and picked up the mouse's tail, flicking it and throwing it into the garbage pile at the door.
Yuan Meilian came back and greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?"
Liu Zhi was so frightened that she backed away, "You... wash your hands first before you talk to me!"
After all, she had ruined the breakfast herself, so Liu Zhi felt a little sorry. When Feng Xiyue remade the sweet potato soup, she helped burn firewood on the stove.
Just as Liu Zhi was about to ask Feng Xiyue about the bruises on her arms, Yuan Meilian came in, took the firewood from Liu Zhi's hand very enthusiastically, and pulled her away, "Sister-in-law, let me do it. You go and rest on the side." .”
Liu Zhi pointed in the direction of Feng Xiyue, "I don't need help here, you can help your second sister-in-law." Yuan Meilian did not move, stuck out her tongue, and whispered in Liu Zhi's ear, "My mother won't let me Help or she will scold me.”
why is that? Liu Zhi asked in confusion, "What is your mother doing?"
The fire in the stove was burning brightly, and there was no need for anyone to watch it for the time being. Yuan Meilian took Liu Zhi out to talk. The two of them walked to a deserted corner at the door, and then Yuan Meilian talked about the reason.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you the truth. The second sister-in-law has had a very bad life since she married into our family. My mother despises her and calls her dirty. She also thinks that her family is poor and there is nothing she can do for the dowry, so she spends all day Scold her.”
Liu Zhi was not very surprised. This was indeed the consistent attitude of Yang Lan, an old woman who regarded wealth as life.
But why is Yuan Chengxu like this?
Yuan Meilian added, "My brother is the same. He was fine in the first few days after we got married. He would help me say a few words when my mother talked about my second sister-in-law. But within a month, he was also fierce. One day, I I also heard him beating my second sister-in-law in the room. I didn’t dare to go in. If I did, my brother would beat me too.”
This coward dares to bully the old, weak, sick and disabled! Liu Zhi hates all men who beat women equally.
"I heard my brother scolding the second sister-in-law, saying that she is like a piece of wood and like a dead person." Yuan Meilian sighed, "Oh, it's true for my brother too. Although the second sister-in-law doesn't talk much and is very quiet, there is no need. That’s so ugly!”
Liu Zhi knew that Yuan Meilian, a young lady, had misunderstood. Yuan Chengxu probably disliked Feng Xiyue for being uncooperative in bed matters. But to be fair, sleeping in the same bed with a strange man with whom she had not had much contact had to be the most intimate. It is really difficult to convince yourself if you don’t do some mental construction.
"You should pay more attention. If your second brother gets beaten too hard, come and call me and I will take care of him for you." Liu Zhi said.
Yuan Meilian sighed, "Sister-in-law, I really miss you when you are at home. You can help me speak, and you can also teach me some big principles that I have never thought of. The most important thing is that my mother and brother are both at home when you are at home." You don't dare to be so arrogant. You don't know that they are either bossing me or the second sister-in-law. I'm okay. I don't dare to be scolded by my mother, but the second sister-in-law will be beaten. "
Liu Zhi also sighed, but her power was limited, and the people she could protect were also limited. The only way to protect herself from bullying was to become stronger, and to ask for help from others rather than for herself.
"I will help you, but you still have to try your best to get out of this situation on your own."
Yuan Meilian didn't quite understand, so she asked again, "By the way, sister-in-law, why did you come to see me?"
Only then did Liu Zhi remember the serious business of coming to Yuan Meilian this time, and her expression suddenly became arrogant, "Well, don't tell others about yesterday. We have nothing to do, and I don't want to be gossiped about."
Yuan Meilian nodded like a fool, "Don't worry, I don't have any merits, I just have a very strict mouth!"
Is it true? Liu Zhi thought that the gossip on the team was basically told by Yuan Meilian and herself, and couldn't help but fall into deep doubts.
"Really, really!" Yuan Meilian's eyes were bright and she looked confident.
The two of them wanted to say something, but from a distance they saw Yang Lan coming back with a big basket on her back. Yuan Meilian saw that her mother was a little frightened, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back to work first, otherwise my mother will have to scold me again. "After that, he ran away in a flash.
Liu Zhi stayed where he was and said hello to Yang Lan.
Since the last time Yang Lan asked Liu Zhi to help prepare for the wedding and she kicked her, Yang Lan hasn't asked Liu Zhi much. Although she loves money, she also knows that everyone has already been separated, and she won't ask her for money again. Might get it. She actually regretted that she shouldn't have agreed to let Liu Zhi move out in the first place, but things were already like this, and there was no use regretting anymore.
Later, Yang Lan heard that Liu Zhi had the upper hand in a fight with Aunt Wang's six daughters. Her desire for money was completely extinguished. There was a tyrannical Aunt Wang in the entire brigade!
Can't afford to offend!
Therefore, while Yang Lan was distressed that she would not be able to get money from now on, she also hated these people with foreign surnames who had married in. Liu Zhi couldn't deal with her, so she had to try to deal with the other one.
But, this is so good, why is Liu Zhi here?
Yang Lan looked at Liu Zhi doubtfully, "What are you doing here? My family didn't cook your breakfast."
"I won't eat your breakfast. I can't even put a little sugar in it. It's too bitter!" Liu Zhi smiled, "By the way, I think your wife is pretty good. She is hard-working and down-to-earth. She is really Yuan Chengxu's high-ranking one." .”
Yang Lan exploded immediately, "What are you talking about? What are you trying to achieve? My Chengxu can marry her because she was lucky in her previous life!"
"It's okay to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself." Liu Zhi restrained her smile and looked down at Yang Lan, "Don't go too far in some things, otherwise, someone will always come back to deal with you."
When the call was over, Liu Zhi said no more, turned around and left, leaving the old lady dancing behind.
However, the effect did not seem to be obvious. Before Liu Zhi had gone far, she heard Yang Lan scolding Feng Xiyue loudly, "You are such a prodigal bitch. If your hands are so inflexible, you might as well chop them up and feed them to pigs." , at least I can still have a meal of meat.”
