Chapter 125 Resentment
Guan Lei never thought that tearing apart wheat straw would be so laborious.
It’s like it’s sealed with cement.
She pulled for a long time, she was so tired that she was sweating profusely, and all she pulled out were some scraps of grass.
Xie Guifang, who was also pulling wheat straw, couldn't stand it anymore and walked over.
Xie Guifang is Zhao Yang’s second aunt.
Due to the issue of supporting Zhao Yang’s grandparents, she had conflicts with Feng Zhuanxia. On weekdays, the two families did not interact with each other.
Guan Lei doesn't know much about the feud between their sisters-in-law, and she usually says hello when they meet.
Xie Guifang pulled off the rubber band, bit it in her mouth, combed her hair with her fingers, tied the rubber band back on, and bent over to pull up the wheat straw.
With a few handfuls, a pile of wheat straw was pulled out.
She pulled the basket on her back and planned to pack the wheat straw for Guan Lei.
Guan Lei quickly said: "It's too troublesome for Second Aunt, I'll just pretend."
"It's okay." Xie Guifang quickly stuffed the wheat straw into the backpack, "This is all Chen The old grass has been there for a long time, and I really can’t pull it out without any strength.”
Guan Lei nodded and said, “It was my mother who pulled it out before. This is my first time here.”< br>
Xie Guifang smiled disdainfully, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Then why doesn't she come today?"
"She wants to sew a quilt for Zhao Lan."
< br>Xie Guifang nodded and said: "That's right, the old girl is finally going to get married, so she should be more prepared."
She looked at Guan Lei, suddenly lowered her voice and said: "You come here It's been a while, what do you think of their family?"
Guan Lei didn't know what Xie Guifang meant by asking, so she said, "It's good, especially my mother, she has always been towards me."< br>
As if hearing a joke, Xie Guifang laughed a few times and said: "Smiling Tiger."
"Huh?"
"It's nothing. My aunt sees that you are young and don't know how to recognize people, so I would like to give you a few words. Zhao Yang is a very shady person. You should pay more attention to yourself."
Guan Lei's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that in her last life, her sister kept saying that her mother-in-law was quite nice!
Moreover, she has been married for so long, and her mother-in-law only occasionally scolds her, but she always has a good heart.
She originally wanted to ask Xie Guifang not to sow discord, but when she thought of someone pulling the straw for her, she smiled and said nothing.
"Go back quickly. If you go late, you will get scolded again."
Guan Lei returned home carrying wheat straw, and Zhao Hongcai had indeed come back and was standing on the steps of the main house. Smash the mud off your shoes.
"Dad, are you back?"
He raised his head and glanced at Guan Lei, and said in a low voice: "What time has it been? You haven't started cooking yet?"
"The thermos bucket is out of water, I'm going to boil some water."
"By the time you finish boiling the water, the day lilies will be cold." Zhao Hongcai said angrily, "I've been working all morning, and I'm just waiting to come back and have something hot to eat. It's a good thing for you, you can't even cook a meal sitting at home. "
Guan Lei said angrily: "What should I do if there is no hot water at home? I have to make noodles."
"You can't go to someone's house to borrow a bowl first. Just wait and see.”
Feng Zhuanxia came out with a pair of big scissors in her hand.
"Oh, it's too late. It's nothing if you're late. Leilei wasn't always at home in the morning. She went to the health center."
With that said, she gave Zhao Hongcai He winked.
Zhao Hongcai said no more, dropped his shoes, and entered the house barefoot.
Guan Lei held a full fire, poured half of the pot of water into the pot, then stuffed wheat straw into the stove, and struck half a box of matches to vent her anger.
You are very hungry, right? She insists on lingering.
She didn't wash the vegetables either, and kept squatting on the small bench, staring at the fire. After a while, thick smoke came from the mouth of the stove and the side of the pot.
More and more.
Guan Lei choked to tears.
She hung up the curtain and opened the window.
After seeing the smoke, Feng Zhuanxia rushed to the kitchen door and said loudly: "Why are there so many cigarettes? Did you take out the ashes?"
Do you still have to take out the ashes?
Guan Lei shook her head.
“Oh, take a look before you light the fire. If there is a lot of ash, you need to remove it first.” Feng Zhuanxia picked up the firewood sticks on the ground, stuffed them into the stove and poked them a few times, “You put so much firewood What are you doing? Look, the whole stove is full. Not only are you wasting firewood, but the fire can’t start.” Xing Xingzi, continued: "Won't your mother give you a lesson?"
Guan Lei said nothing.
"Okay, let me see the fire. The water should be warm by now. You can make the noodles first."
Guan Lei said yes, opened the lid of the pot, and scooped out a bowl of water.
This time, she didn’t forget to add alkaline noodles.
Feng Zhuanxia peeled cucumbers quickly while watching the fire, and said: "You need to practice your cooking speed. Alas, like you, you have a good life. Someone will help you when cooking. I am young. At that time, they were not separated, and I cooked for the whole family by myself. There was no noodle machine at that time, and everything was made by hand."
Guan Lei thought of Xie Guifang and said, "Mom, then. Has the second aunt passed by?”
“Then she won’t help you?”
“Huh, she’s like a pig. Do you feel like a helpful person? And the old goblin is very partial to her and doesn't want her to come into the kitchen."
Feng Zhuanxia seems to have a lot of resentment when talking about the past.
Guan Lei wanted to know what was going on, so she took the opportunity and asked: "Mom, you are not lying to me, are you? You are so capable, how could grandma favor her?"< br>
Feng Zhuanxia sneered and said, "Why did I lie to you? No matter how capable I am, what's the use? Can it compare to someone else's blood relationship?"
Guan Lei was stunned: "Blood relationship?"< br>
“That Xie Guifang is the niece of the old goblin.”
That’s it.
Feng Zhuanxia put another handful of wheat straw into the stove and said angrily: "When she can move, her eyes are in the sky. When she collapses on the kang, she thinks of me and asks me to serve her. Do you think I, Feng Zhuanxia, am a fool?"
"Has grandma been at the second aunt's house since the separation?"
"Isn't it right? Boil. "
The water boiled, and Feng Zhuanxia opened the lid.
“Oh, why are you boiling so much water? There are only three insulated buckets at home, how can we hold so much!”
Guan Lei suddenly thought: “I was thinking of saving some for cold boiling water. , Dad came back from work, his mouth was dry, he mixed it with some, so he wouldn’t have to wait for a long time.”
Feng Zhuanxia filled the thermos bucket with water and continued: "When I think about it, I am so angry that I tremble all over. Xiaolan was only half a year old at that time.
The wheat grew well that year. They all started to fall to the ground, and your father couldn't cut them all by himself
I begged the old fairy to help me look after the children, but she wouldn't look at them, so I ended up carrying Xiaolan on my back to cut the wheat.
Tell me, who is as miserable as me?"
"Grandma, why doesn't she look at it?"
"Why else, just think that I have a biological niece when I am old? Well, you don’t need me to support you in old age. The old goblin was very beautiful at that time. She used a broken fan to gossip with people in the village every day, but she didn’t know that her niece couldn’t count on her at all.”
