Chapter 73: Let's wait and see

When people reach the end of the year, they buy meat to improve their lives. In this family, the two old ones don't move at all, eating what they usually eat, without any New Year atmosphere.

That's fine, the key is that they buy good things themselves and hide them secretly.

Late at night, when it's quiet, they take them out to eat, not letting the young ones in the family touch them at all. Such old people are truly chilling to serve, and they aren't afraid of choking to death eating at night.

To be honest, even though they are sons, they still curse these two old ones in their hearts.

Those two misers in the upper room still don't know that these four sons have already had different intentions toward them.

By dark, no one came out to burn fire and cook, making Yuan Xushi curse and roar in the upper room.

Yuan Laohan patted the door, calling them to come out and cook.

Yuan Jia's brothers called their wives to cook. Yuan Xushi took the key and opened the warehouse door, supervising them to take grain.

The resistance started from this moment. The four daughters-in-law pushed the mother-in-law away at once. The eldest daughter-in-law scooped several bowls of rice, the second daughter-in-law took a whole strip of meat, the third daughter-in-law took several cabbages, and the fourth daughter-in-law hugged several radishes and a piece of cured meat.

Yuan Xushi howled in anger and wanted to hit them, but didn't expect the four daughters-in-law to push her, kick her, one even poked her with her butt, and the last one hated her even more, pinching her hard.

"My Hao'er can also help watch Ling'er."

Later, at the employment agency, they asked about the granddaughter. She sold herself to the county town. Qiao Jiang chased to the county town, but didn't expect the result was that the granddaughter didn't recognize them at all.

Tian Li Shi saw the eldest grandson didn't eat, took the key, took out several eggs from the warehouse, fried a bowl of eggs for Tian Yaozu, and sent it over.

"Thank you, Grandma. Why don't you sit here and eat some too?"

"You all are good. Let's wait and see."

"A pair of misers, for money, can sell sons, can sell granddaughters. You are a pair of demons who drink children's blood and eat children's meat."

"Really don't need to. He came, and Mother and I have to worry about him. Wait until we are free later, then come over."

Yuan Jiaqi swept a glance at her back and sighed in his heart. Although the adults aren't very good, the children are innocent.

Not only are these three families not beautiful, but Chen Shi is also not beautiful.

"You!"

She cleverly saved the silver from selling herself and didn't give the Qiao family a chance to suck her blood at all.

"We are elders."

"Then have the appearance of an elder. Don't toss around anymore. We also want to live a good life, we also want to eat meat."

He thought that as soon as he spoke, the daughters-in-law would be scared out of their wits and obediently listen. He didn't expect them to continue doing what they were doing in the kitchen.

In the Qiao family in Lihua Village, Qiao Shicheng could already walk around. Ever since he knew Qiao Mai married into the family, he had been pulling a long face.

These Tian family members, besides being bad to Qiao Mai and the daughters-in-law, also knew how to treat their own children well, much better than the Yuan family.

How could it be that suddenly, the sons didn't listen to them, and the daughters-in-law didn't take them as elders?

"You don't listen to Father and Mother, do you want to be unfilial?"

Yuan Jiaqi opened the door and sent Chen Hao home, not even letting the child in. This made her heart even more panicked.

"Old man, they have rebelled, not only taking so much stuff, but also, also hitting me."

"Diligence and thrift can accumulate wealth, do you understand?"

Chen Shi had to smile awkwardly and turned back unwillingly.

These three families, because they calculated against people, were calculated against in return, and their moods were never beautiful. I'm afraid this New Year won't be passed well.

Scaring the granddaughters into crying, Qiao Shicheng threw his chopsticks and didn't even eat dinner.

"Father, it's New Year, let everyone eat their fill?"

The two didn't work all year round and were no match for their sons at all. They pointed at their sons with trembling hands.

Yuan Laohan and Yuan Xushi didn't expect their sons to say this about them. Just as they wanted to curse and take action, seeing their sons' stance, as long as they dared to curse and take action, they would fight them to the death.

"Don't use this set to bind us anymore. If you want to sue us, go ahead and sue in the government office. However, pass the Town Chief's level first. Who doesn't know what kind of character you have?"

"Yaozu, eat. You still need to study. How can you do it without eating?"

"If we can live together, we will. If not, let's separate. You and Mother, if you feel you have great ability, you can also not live with us. In the future, we will earn money to support our own families. The money from the child being a servant girl in a big family should be collected by us as parents. You don't need to go. In addition, I hope Father can return the money we earned before."

"You also want to rebel?"

"Otherwise? You wore out the fifth one, and now you come to wear us out. You sold the children we gave birth to, but we as parents are not full, and you buy meat and eat it secretly?"

Qiao Mai was busy in the kitchen, hearing the conversation at the courtyard gate, and immediately laughed until her eyes narrowed.

Tian Yaozu had long been on vacation and returned home, looking at the table of food without any appetite, and got up and left.

Yuan Laohan knocked his pipe and walked out of the room. "Are you trying to rebel?"

"What, you, you actually want to separate the family?"

"Chen sister, it's New Year, I gave the children a vacation. Let them come over after the fifteenth. My family is very busy these days and can't take care of Chen Hao."

"What kind of character do we have?"

A few days ago, they sent their granddaughter to Qiao Mai to beg for things. The person didn't come back, and they thought the child was kept in town to eat and drink well.

Yuan Xushi ran out of the warehouse in surprise and shouted in the upper room.

Yuan Laohan raised his pipe and wanted to take action, but seeing the four brothers walk forward together, they had the stance that if he dared to take action, they would beat him up together.

So he let Chen Hao go find Feng and Yun to play when he had nothing to do.

"Then what about you and Mother secretly eating meat at night?"

Who would have thought it wasn't like that at all. After Qiao Jiang went, Qiao Mai admitted it, but said the person wasn't with her.

The Tian family's dinner was a pot of very thin coarse rice porridge, the dry food was cornmeal cakes, and in the middle was a big basin of fried cabbage.

After Qiao Jiang went home, he was scolded severely, saying that granddaughters were all money-losing goods, and let Qiao Jiang and Qiao He just sell the granddaughters to big families after the New Year.

Seeing the two old ones return to the room, the brothers looked at each other. They won. Resistance is useful. They can eat their fill tonight.

His heart couldn't help but tighten, and his tone softened a lot.

He was afraid. Yuan Xushi was stunned in the room. What is going on?

"No need, you eat. Grandma is going to eat with them."

The four sons walked out of the room and looked at Yuan Laohan together, their eyes cold enough to freeze Yuan Laohan to death.

Don't raise them anymore, afraid that everyone will follow suit.

Even came over once in person. Yuan Jiaqi didn't say anything else.

She only prepared New Year goods for Shopkeeper Lu and the Town Chief's family. She didn't prepare any for Chen Shi at all. Ever since Chen Shi brought some dates over on the Mid-Autumn Festival, almost every time she came, she was empty-handed.

Ever since she came back from eating stewed ribs at the Qiao family, her mood had been very uneasy. She was afraid that Qiao Mai would find out she liked Yuan Jiaqi, and in the future, not only would her child not be able to attend school for free, but she wouldn't be able to take advantage of her family either.

Although she didn't mind, it invisibly made her classify Chen Shi as an ordinary friend.

As for Chen Shi, seeing Yuan Jiaqi send New Year gifts, she felt very uncomfortable. She also wanted to receive a New Year gift from Qiao Mai.

Unfortunately, Qiao Mai didn't prepare a share for her at all.

Now even the child isn't allowed in the door. Chen Shi went home and wanted to throw things in anger, but couldn't bear to throw anything, so she simply hugged a pillow and cried.
