Chapter 57:
Hopping mad.
Her ankle got hit once, and another bamboo strip came from the side…
“Zhou Meizhen, stop it!”
Zhou Shi panicked, thinking, oh no, how did she hit Old Man Li?
Old Man Li got angry, she just dodged once, how did it hit again?
“Zhou Meizhen! You got guts!”
Old Li Tou glared at her with wide eyes, hopping once—this thing hurts a lot when it hits…
“Hehe, Old Man Li, I didn’t do it on purpose, it’s all that fatty’s fault, she wouldn’t get beaten otherwise, she deliberately hid behind you…”
Old Li Tou turned back, looking at Luo Zhi’er suspiciously…
Luo Zhi’er had an innocent look on her face, whining,
“Dad, Mom, you beat Miaomiao today, and you beat me too, boo hoo… boo hoo… I’m going to the village to find the village chief right now!”
Isn’t it just beating a little girl? Such a small matter? She wants to make a fuss to the clan every time, alarming those two clan elders, the village chief, and the people in the village?
Old Li Tou scratched his gray hair… really annoying…
Zhou Shi’s eyes darted around—that Miaomiao before, she treated her like an outsider, letting others beat and scold her, assigning her work, why the sudden change?
Hmph! This fatty clearly has bad intentions, and she even says she beat her?
This is deliberately making her mother-in-law lose face.
If this matter gets spread by those old geezers’ big mouths, won’t the whole village know she beat her third daughter-in-law and Miaomiao?
Though it’s a small matter, yesterday Zhenzhu beat her eldest sister-in-law, the eldest son’s family and second son’s family were unsettled, today she beat Miaomiao, and she even says it’s a family tradition.
The village chief and others just said yesterday that if she commits this kind of thing again, she has to sit on chun deng, guard the tomb, and all that—Zhenzhu was locked in the dark room and still hasn’t come back…
Doesn’t know if she ate today? She went to the ancestral hall gate, that gatekeeping old woman had a serious face, didn’t even let her in the gate.
Her eyes darted around for a bit,
“Such a small matter, which family doesn’t have a few arguments? You alarm the clan elders and village chief at every turn, who do you think you are? An outsider woman, you don’t mind the trouble but others think you’re too much trouble.”
“All day it’s this matter or that matter, who will deal with you later?”
Coldness flashed in Luo Zhi’er’s eyes, hehe, now afraid others won’t deal with them?
This blame is pinned on her Luo Zhi’er’s head!
“Mom, I can’t help it, today Miaomiao got beaten for no reason, as her mother, I absolutely won’t tolerate it and let others bully her!”
Hearing her soft words but tough stance.
“What others, I’m her grandma, does her grandma need others’ permission to discipline her a few times?”
Luo Zhi’er sneered coldly,
“That’s right, I’m her mom not others, protecting her is my responsibility, whoever beats her I’ll seek justice from them.”
“Old Man Li, say something quickly!”
How did this dead fatty suddenly become so stubborn, there are plenty of girls in the village sold off for survival, but she treats hers like a treasure.
Zhou Shi kept winking and making eye signals nonstop to Old Li Tou who was rubbing his painful spot nonstop on the side…
Old Li Tou hated her to death, he was in so much pain, and still had to help her!
“San Mao, quickly persuade your wife, it’s so ugly if it blows up, a grandma beating her grandchild is nothing, do you really have to run to the village chief’s house crying and making noise, letting the villagers laugh?”
Compared to his granddaughter getting beaten, the old woman getting punished, Old Man Li feared losing face more.
Yesterday because of the oldest brother’s wife, in front of the whole village they said his Old Li Tou’s house was unsettled.
He also doubted what was up with this Luo Zhi’er? How did she suddenly change temperament, clinging to this matter? She used to be indifferent…
“Dad, you know, Miaomiao is my life, you tell me Li Sanmao to do what and I’ll do it, but you shouldn’t have touched her no matter what!”
Li Sanmao had a cold expression, pulled Miaomiao over, holding her in his arms protectively like a wolf guarding its cubs.
Old Li Tou saw it wasn’t good, because of this matter, he was really angry, isn’t it just a little girl! This couple must have taken wrong medicine, why do they value her so much?
“San Mao, Dad understands your mood, cough… you don’t have a son yet, you don’t know good from bad.”
Hinting that a son is the treasure, a girl is just grass.
“Besides, Miaomiao fed the pig to death, that was over half a year of feed, several taels of silver gone just like that.”
Old Man Li said.
“Your mom getting angry is one thing, she caused such a big disaster, you should properly discipline her to teach her a lesson, next time who knows what earth-shattering thing she’ll do. By then, you’ll regret it with no use.”
Righteously educating his descendants, it’s for their own good!
Zhou Shi grumbled inwardly, originally wanted to use Miaomiao as a raft, but she almost failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice…
“Exactly, Miaomiao fed the pig to death, what do you say about this?”
Zhou Shi hopped mad.
This is her real purpose!
Luo Zhi’er gave her a cold look, “Fed to death? You sure?”
Turned around, pulled the terrified Miaomiao, strode up the slope, back to the yard, to the pigsty…
“Look at that temper, like thunder, who are you showing that face to? Big butt swaying, who are you afraid of?”
Saw it wasn’t right, why go to the pigsty?
“What are you doing? Luo Zhi’er, stop it!”
Zhou Shi hurriedly blocked her, chasing after her inside.
