Chapter 611: Do You Know How They Curse You Behind Your Back?
No one in the Cao family had ever seen this side of Wu Dani.
That wasn't quite right; Cao's eldest daughter-in-law couldn't help but recall when Wu Dani first entered the family.
The newly married Wu Dani was also very formidable.
She had wanted to bully her but hadn't succeeded.
At that time, cooking was done in turns, and housework was the same.
The old lady also busied herself from time to time.
When did Wu Dani start being stepped on by her and the third daughter-in-law?
Oh, it started from her third child, who was also a girl.
It seemed like it had been four years.
Hearing Wu Dani say these things now, they didn't react for a moment.
The Cao family's courtyard was even somewhat silent.
Cao Laoer stood beside his wife, wanting to say something, but he wisely kept his mouth shut.
He felt that if he wanted to have an easier life at home in the future, he would have to learn to be obedient.
Cao's eldest daughter-in-law was the first to react, saying bitterly, "Cao Laoer, Wu Dani, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind. I'm telling you, when you get old, don't count on my sons to support you in your old age."
Although it had only been a few short days, Wu Dani felt as if she had experienced a lot and learned a lot.
It seemed that the world was no longer the world it used to be.
She sneered repeatedly, "I still have decades before I get old. We'll talk about that when the time comes."
Without waiting for Cao's eldest daughter-in-law to speak, she mocked again, "Don't think I, Wu Dani, am a fool. Who are you always trying to suppress with these words? I heard something over at the commune that's similar to our Cao family.
That family had an eldest son who had six daughters, and the couple worked desperately to save money to build a house and get a wife for their nephew.
But when they got old, that good nephew wouldn't even give them a drink of water, and in the end, it was their daughters who supported them.
Mutton doesn't stick to dog meat; it's good enough if your sons can support you in your old age. Who can count on your sons to support their uncle and aunt?"
Cao Laoer's lips moved; he really wanted to tell his wife that they might really have to rely on their nephew in the future.
Unexpectedly, Wu Dani glared at him fiercely, pushed him away, and walked into the courtyard.
She neatly took out all the things in the kitchen.
Very quickly, it was divided into four portions.
Old Mrs. Cao hadn't said a word; she had suffered a great blow these days. She had always thought she was the happiest old lady in this village, and her family was the most harmonious, because she was the one who called the shots, and all her daughters-in-law listened to her.
But after Wu Dani went to the commune, Old Mrs. Cao realized that wasn't the case at all.
If nothing else, no one was cooking at home.
On the first day of work, the men all went to the fields to work, and she prepared to stroll around the village as usual, chat with the old ladies, pick some wild vegetables by the way, and then sleep on the kang again.
However, things hadn't looked very good at home yesterday.
She used to brag to those old ladies that her daughters-in-law were all afraid of her, seeing her like a mouse seeing a cat.
But yesterday, those two stupid daughters-in-law had slapped her in the face hard.
She didn't dare to go chat with those old ladies; she was worried about being laughed at by them for bragging.
So she just picked some wild vegetables and went to sleep on the kang.
But when she got up from the kang and looked, good heavens, neither of her two daughters-in-law was in sight.
The kitchen was ice-cold.
No one was cooking at all.
Even the water in the water vat hadn't been fetched by anyone.
The Cao family was chaotic at noon.
After finally finding the two daughters-in-law, before she could scold them, they each had their own reasons.
Cao's eldest daughter-in-law even said, "Doesn't Wu Dani usually do all this work? Why did she run to the commune to hide and enjoy herself? Call her back to cook..."
The eldest daughter-in-law's idea wasn't bad, but the key was, who would go find her?
Old Cao's gaze swept around the courtyard.
Each of them was pointing at him to go find her; how could that be!
Old Cao roared angrily, "Split the family, just follow what was said that day. The three of you take turns cooking for us. Whoever dares not to listen, I will go to the commune to report them. If the commune doesn't care, I will go to the county to report..."
Cao's eldest daughter-in-law wasn't afraid at all; she was the first to jump out.
She jumped and roared at Old Cao, "Even if we follow the method of splitting the family that day, there are unreasonable parts.
For example, taking turns cooking for you two, I won't do it. I have so many sons, how can I have time to run here every day to cook for you?
You can eat, drink, run, and jump now; why do you want us to cook for you now? Do you really think you are the old master and old mistress?
Don't talk about our Qinggang Village; there aren't many old ladies like you in the entire Satellite Commune.
Day after day, walking from house to house, bragging in front of a group of old ladies.
Besides, you can clearly do everything, but you have to act like the old matriarch at home. What? Do you want to be a big landlord like in the past?
You still want to report us; it's already good enough that we haven't gone to report you!"
Old Mrs. Cao and Old Cao were flushed with anger, their trembling fingers pointing at the eldest daughter-in-law.
How come they had never realized the eldest daughter-in-law was so wicked and vicious in her speech?
Wu Dani actually didn't quite understand why she suddenly had the courage.
But there was one thing she knew: her daughter had succeeded and brought benefits to the two of them as parents.
And the family was split, so she didn't have to cook at home every day.
So for the few days her whole family was at the commune, this family was in chaos.
Wu Dani glanced at the messy courtyard, thinking of the ducks and geese raised with such difficulty in the backyard. She didn't know if anyone was taking care of them now, and although she felt very sorry, there was no other way.
In this family, it's just like that; the more you do, the more wimpy and useless you are.
Like the eldest sister-in-law, who angered the parents-in-law like this, couldn't they do anything to her?
Wu Dani took a few steps back and pulled on Cao Laoer, not letting him speak.
Since the eldest sister-in-law is so formidable, let her go to the front line and see what kind of mess this family can become in the end.
Wu Dani also wanted to know what the eldest sister-in-law wanted to get before she would calm down.
But no matter what, she would definitely not be like before.
She hadn't treated her eldest daughter well.
She couldn't let her two daughters suffer with her anymore.
The Cao family's affairs happened one after another, and in the end, Old Cao and the old lady were so angry they fell seriously ill, but they couldn't do anything about the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law.
It was also impossible to order Wu Dani around like before, because Wu Dani had already gone to work at the commune.
And Wu Dani also knew that it was Lu Qiao's suggestion that she could enter the Women's Federation.
The Women's Federation director said earnestly to Wu Dani, "This opportunity of yours didn't come easily; you must cherish it well.
Although you are doing odd jobs, I also hope your cultural level can be higher.
You are still young, and who knows what you will do in the future, so don't be afraid of hardship or fatigue; there will always be rewards for your efforts." ===== CHAPTER 612 =====
