Chapter 288 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 29
At the Jiang family’s dinner table.
Jiang Aiguo frowned as he took a bite of the half-cooked rice.
He took another bite of the whole-grain biscuit, and felt a crunchy sensation in his mouth, so he immediately spit it out.
There were a few grains of sand in the pancake, and Jiang Aiguo's face turned darker when he saw it.
After pulling a branch out of the porridge, Jiang Aiguo's brows were furrowed so much that he almost pinched a fly to death.
He picked up the branch and placed it in front of Liu Hongjuan, saying in a scolding tone, "How on earth did you cook this? The rice is not even cooked yet, and there is a branch in it? There is sand in the bread?"
Liu Hongjuan was stunned when she looked at the branch. Tears started to well up in her eyes. She cried miserably and didn't care whether she was embarrassing herself in front of her elders and juniors.
Seeing his own mother crying, Jiang Zhuang also hugged Liu Hongjuan and burst into tears.
Seeing that Liu Hongjuan was being so pretentious, Grandma Jiang got angry and started cursing at her, pointing at her nose.
For a while, there was constant crying and shouting at the Jiang family's dinner table. Jiang Aiguo was so worried that he wanted to slap someone in the face.
But after all, these were his mother, wife, and son. He said impatiently, "Just tell me what you want to say. You are already grown up, and you are still crying in front of your children? Stop crying, let everyone around you hear it. Is it embarrassing? Do you still have any shame?"
Liu Hongjuan couldn't stop crying and began to tell her grievances one by one. "What's so embarrassing about it? I just don't have any shame. I married here to torture myself. What's the point of crying? I'm almost being tortured to death. Why should I be afraid of crying?"
"There's not a day that I haven't gone to work in the fields. I work so hard every day, and when I come back, there's still a lot of family chores to do. No one washes the clothes, no one cooks the meals, no one cleans the pots, no one sweeps the yard, no one tidies the house. I'm almost dying of exhaustion every day, and you guys start to quarrel when I don't cook well. I really can't take it anymore. You might as well just let me die."
Jiang Aiguo was a little surprised when he heard her say this. Isn't it always like this at home? Aren't all women like this?
He previously thought that they were just being lazy and didn't want to work, and were making excuses, but after days of constant noise, he got tired of listening and realized that this matter was not as easy as he thought.
When Jiang Aiguo heard her say this suddenly, he realized that there were a lot of things going on at home, and he inexplicably thought of Erya.
Wasn’t this the life Erya lived when she was still in the Jiang family?
Compared with Liu Hongjuan and Grandma Jiang, the only thing she lacked was that she didn't earn as many work points by working in the fields.
But she is still young after all. Aren’t other girls in the village the same?
"You can't stand it? Then how could Erya bear it before?" Jiang Aiguo asked this question for some reason.
He regretted the question as soon as he asked it. Sure enough, Liu Hongjuan became even more noisy.
"Jiang Aiguo! What do you mean? Do you regret driving Erya out? I work so hard every day, and you still think I haven't worked enough? I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, my whole family wants me to die..."
Liu Hongjuan burst into tears and felt very sad.
After all, all men in the world are the same. Once they get something, they don't know how to cherish it.
She and Jiang Aiguo once had a loving life as a couple, but now, with the fatigue of daily life and the day-to-day living together, perhaps they have already grown tired of each other.
Jiang Aiguo's face turned black at this. He called out Jiang Dali and Jiang Zhuang's names at the dinner table and asked them to go to the kitchen to wash the pots after dinner.
In their family, except for Liu Qingqing who works in town, these two boys are the only ones who have very little free time. Apart from going to school and doing homework, they have nothing else to do every day.
The two teenagers felt aggrieved and did not dare to open their mouths to refute, but they were somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Hongjuan, the instigator of the incident.
When Liu Hongjuan heard that her son was going to wash the pot, she stopped making a fuss and quickly stood up and sat down to eat.
After finishing her meal, she took her son out and left the bowl to Jiang Dali alone.
Jiang Dali looked at the two of them in a daze. Grandma Jiang had already taken the initiative to call out "good grandson, good grandson" and pulled the man into her room, asking him to sit down. She took advantage of this opportunity to quietly sneak under the big tree next to the Jiang family's house.
She looked around and when she found that there was no one around, she picked up the shovel and started digging quickly, paying attention to the movements around her while digging.
Dig and dig and dig...
Nothing...
Grandma Jiang looked around and started a new round of digging.
Dig and dig and dig...
Nothing...
She was inexplicably panicked and no longer paid attention to her surroundings. She just kept digging.
I dug piece after piece, but found nothing.
No matter where they dug or how deep they dug, there was no trace of the small box.
Grandma Jiang stopped and began to recall whether she had remembered the wrong location.
But she looked over and over again and felt that she had dug in the right place at the beginning, but there was nothing there.
Finally, she dug all the places around the tree. She gasped and finally accepted the fact.
Lost money?
Just at this moment, two footsteps sounded slowly. Grandma Jiang looked back and happened to meet Liu Hongjuan and her son.
Liu Hongjuan glanced at the mess of sand under the big tree, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something in a flash.
It's money!
She must have hidden her money here, that's why she's digging here!
But looking at this, why did she dig them all...
Before she could figure it out, Grandma Jiang rushed over first.
She slapped Liu Hongjuan in the face, her face grim, "Did you take it? Where did you put it? Return it to me quickly!"
Liu Hongjuan was stunned. Grandma Jiang had used all her strength to slap her just now. The old woman, who was used to doing farm work, was quite strong and did not know how to restrain herself. Liu Hongjuan felt dizzy and saw stars.
Grandma Jiang's next slap came at her, and she only had time to block it with her arm before she began to scream desperately.
She is about to be beaten to death, why should she endure it?
"Help! Someone's dead! Help! Someone's dead!"
Jiang Aiguo, who was dozing on the bed in the room, covered his ears irritably. As Liu Hongjuan's bedmate, he could naturally tell that the voice was hers.
But because of what happened just now, he thought that Liu Hongjuan was deliberately making trouble again, just to get out of the job, and he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied and refused to go out.
Unexpectedly, the voice became even sharper. He was just about to go out and reprimand Liu Hongjuan, asking her to calm down, when the neighbor next door, Uncle Wang, was already shouting, "Aiguo! Come out! Your mother and your wife are fighting!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Aiguo sat up instantly, kicked the door open and ran out.
When they just got outside the door, the war between the two was already in full swing.
Several clumps of Grandma Jiang's hair were pulled out, and there were several scratches on Liu Hongjuan's face, with a few drops of blood flowing under her nose.
Several women were trying hard to pull the two men apart, but they were stuck together like magnets. While struggling, they even scratched the enthusiastic people who came to stop the fight.
At the beginning, the enthusiastic crowds were still holding on and trying to separate the two people, but later they were implicated so many people that they simply let go.
Go ahead and fight, the harder the better!
They have all been tickled several times, and none of them appreciate it, so just let it be!
Without anyone to try to stop the fight, the two of them started to tear each other apart.
Jiang Aiguo rushed forward angrily to stop the two people from going crazy.
The two women were like crazy. Even though Jiang Aiguo tried to stop them, they still refused to give in. Jiang Aiguo was even scratched and had several cuts on him.
Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Aiguo yelled, "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Stop it!"
The two people who had been fighting with red eyes gradually calmed down and began to glare at each other.
The two were now in disheveled clothes, with small pieces of cloth scattered on the ground. Their hair was a mess like a chicken coop. Grandma Jiang's scalp was bleeding, and Liu Hongjuan had a large bloody mark on her neck and a streak of blood under her nose.
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat stagnant, making the onlookers feel that they were about to fight again.
At this time, the captain came over again.
He looked at Jiang Aiguo with a heavy gaze, and cursed him several times in his heart, but he still didn't feel relieved.
Is the Jiang family crazy?
Are you crazy?
Since the beginning of this spring, big events have happened frequently in the Jiang family. Members of the Jiang family are involved in every big news that happens in Xinghua Village. Jiang Aiguo is really amazing!
Day after day, can't you just stop and be quiet!
"Let them change their clothes and come over!" The captain gave the order without even calling for help, obviously he was very angry.
Jiang Aiguo quickly called over a few close maids and aunties, who supported the two men and took them back one after another to change their clothes and tidy up their appearance.
It was really because these two people were too noisy just now, punching and kicking me. I was covered with injuries and it hurt to walk.
The mothers-in-law and aunts who came to help saw everything clearly while helping her change clothes.
Gee!
They are all very ruthless!
What happened? Both of them lost all their dignity and started fighting!
After packing up, the two of them went to sit in the yard. The team leader and Jiang Aiguo also sat there. Other people in the village gathered around Jiang's house to eat melons.
Fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not uncommon, but this is the first time I've seen one fight so fiercely.
Everyone was surprised to death.
Even when walking on the street, you can hear women exclaiming from time to time, and one would greet another and run over to eat the melon.
Jiang Yueshu and Fang Ruoyao who were passing by also heard it. When Fang Ruoyao heard that the two were fighting fiercely, her eyes lit up instantly.
"Jiang Jiang, go home quickly! I'm going to go see what's going on. I'll tell you about it when I come back and make you happy!"
After saying this, she ran away without looking back, running very fast, completely devoid of the listless energy she usually had when working.
Jiang Yueshu couldn't help laughing, thinking that the two of them were fighting like this, could it be that Grandma Jiang discovered that the money was missing?
She walked back home slowly, patiently waiting for Fang Ruoyao to come back for gossip.
In the Jiang family yard.
The captain began to ask, "Tell me, what happened? Why did the fight suddenly break out?"
Grandma Jiang pressed her scalp, grimacing in pain, "Captain, Liu Hongjuan is dishonest. She actually stole things."
Liu Hongjuan tried hard to hold back the dizziness in her head and screamed, "Who stole your things? I don't even know what they are, but you're blaming me. You come and beat me without asking any questions!"
Grandma Jiang: "Why didn't you steal it? There are only a few of us in our family, who else could it be if not you?"
Liu Hongjuan: "Don't accuse others. You lost your own things and you blame others? Tell me what you lost."
Grandma Jiang stammered, "You bitch! Why are you still refusing to admit it? Everyone in the Jiang family is better than you. Who else could have stolen it except you?"
Liu Hongjuan was so angry, "You old thing! You dare not tell me what you lost, but you have to put the blame on me? Do you have any evidence? If you have the guts, prove that I stole it?"
Grandma Jiang's eyes turned red from the three words "old thing" and she stood up suddenly, "You little bitch!"
When Liu Hongjuan saw that the old woman wanted to hit her, she immediately stood up, enduring the pain.
Seeing that the war was about to break out again, the captain roared.
"Everyone, sit down!"
The two of them faced each other in silence, and neither of them could sit down first.
The captain glared at Jiang Aiguo, showing no mercy. "If the two of them fight impulsively again, you will be dragged out to a mass struggle session with them!"
When Jiang Aiguo heard this, he immediately became scared. It was a very shameful thing to hold a mass criticism meeting. He would be criticized in front of the whole village, and in serious cases, he would even be splashed with feces.
I couldn't imagine it. At his age, if he was really dragged over to have manure thrown on him, many people in the village would definitely laugh at him, and from then on, everyone would laugh at the Jiang family.
He first forced the two people down, thought for a while, and then called Jiang Dali and Jiang Zhuang, and put one next to Grandma Jiang and Liu Hongjuan, and each of them suppressed one.
Jiang Aiguo personally took the rope and handed it to the two men, and whoever acted rashly would be tied up first.
He really had no other choice. He couldn't let the Jiang family become the shame of the entire Xinghua Village!
These two kids are the apple of their eye, so it’s easier to suppress them.
As expected, the two people who were blinded by hatred regained their senses a little after seeing their precious baby, and realized how shameful the thing they had done was.
But things have come to this, the fight has happened, the hatred has deepened, and no amount of reparation will work.
"Tell me, what did you lose?" asked the captain.
Grandma Jiang hesitated and didn't want to say anything. The captain looked at Jiang Aiguo and Jiang Aiguo immediately walked over.
"Mom, what exactly is it? Tell me now, or you'll be beating someone up for no reason and you won't be able to get the thing back."
Grandma Jiang closed her eyes. "A small black and brown box."
Jiang Aiguo: “…”
Captain: “…”
Onlookers: “…”
"If you tell lies again, there's no need to interrogate you. Just take your whole family over for criticism!" the team leader threatened her.
Just a small black and brown box, and the two of them made such a fuss?
Either he has a stupid head or he told a lie.
Jiang Aiguo looked at his mother nervously, and Grandma Jiang stammered, "There's some money in the box."
Everyone suddenly realized, oh, no wonder a fight broke out.
It is true that people die for money and birds die for food. This saying is absolutely true.
Everyone sighed and continued to eat melon seriously.
