Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Jiang Panhua glanced at the direction where Su Wanwan disappeared, lazily standing there and not even helping to clean up the table.

"My little sister can carry whatever she wants. Even if she carries the whole family away, we won't have any complaints." Su Di, who had not yet picked up the hoe to go to the field, heard Jiang Panhua's words and scolded her coldly.

Too lazy to look at Jiang Panhua's squinting eyes, Zhao Ying coughed indifferently, "Wanwan went to work at the radio station. The things in her bag must be the manuscripts for the radio station. We in the Su family don't keep idle people. If you have nothing to do, find something to do for yourself. Don't just stand here like an overseer."

Seeing Zhao Ying criticizing his wife so seriously, Su Di also followed suit and scolded her in a low voice. Seeing that Jiang Panhua finally lowered her head and kept silent, he and his elder brother Su Gao carried the hoe and left the house.

As a father and the head of the village, Su Yang has to go out before dawn every day. There are always various big and small matters waiting to be dealt with in the village. Especially recently, the situation in the village has been very tense. Everyone is talking about the third son of the Xu family. This matter must be dealt with.

The eldest and second brothers usually went up the mountains and into the fields with other young people in the village. They would leave after breakfast early in the morning. The remaining younger children were not supervised and would just follow their fourth uncle around and disappear.

Therefore, after early morning, the only sound that could be heard in the Su family's yard was the voice of women talking, which was also a common situation in other families in the village.

Jiang Panhua, who has never gotten along well with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, always goes to the river by herself with a basin to wash clothes for the whole family, making sure to avoid meeting her mother-in-law as much as possible during the day.

But today's situation is special after all.

She wanted to see what tricks her sister-in-law and mother-in-law were playing behind her back.

After breakfast, Zhao Ying cleaned up the kitchen and casually glanced at Jiang Panhua who was still lazing in the hall. The anger that had been suppressed rose again: "Are you blind? You don't even know to sweep the dirty yard in front of the door? Even if there is not much laundry to do at home, isn't there still enough?"

Facing the accusations from her mother-in-law Zhao Ying, Jiang Panhua was prepared and even rolled her eyes halfway with a half-smile, "Mom, I am not the only daughter-in-law in this family, why do you keep nagging me? If I don't clean up the dirt at the door, won't others do the same?"

The Su family has more than one married son, and Jiang Panhua's words were all hinting at Jiang Shuzhen.

She had only married into the Su family a few months earlier than her, but she seemed as if she had been married for many years. She was so humble and submissive in front of Zhao Ying and others. Jiang Panhua hated such people the most in her life!

"How do you talk to your elders like this? Even if your sister-in-law is not your elder, is she still your sister-in-law? Didn't anyone teach you how to talk in your mother's family?"

The anger in Zhao Ying's heart was rising.

Sooner or later she will be pissed off to death by this third son's wife!

"How did I say something that made you unhappy, mother? I am innocent. Maybe it's because I have lived with my younger sister for a long time, so it's inevitable that I speak like her." Jiang Panhua said what she had been thinking in her heart. Taking advantage of this anger, she continued without waiting for Zhao Ying and Jiang Shuzhen to react:

"I see that my little sister usually talks like this. Mother, you have never been angry, have you?"

Anyway, her father-in-law Su Yang and the eldest and third sons were not at home at this time, and Su Wanwan also went to the radio station. There were only three women left at home. She didn't believe that she could not argue with these two.

Knowing that Zhao Ying was just anxious to send Jiang Panhua away, the two of them could use the time to secretly knit those cloaks. Jiang Shuzhen didn't want to argue too much with Jiang Panhua, so she quickly came out to smooth things over:

"Sister-in-law, my waist and back feel a little uncomfortable after I got up today. Please go outside and clean up the yard first."

After all, Su Wanwan is Zhao Ying's precious daughter. In this family, Jiang Panhua can say anything, but when it comes to Su Wanwan, she will inevitably touch the most prickly thorn in Zhao Ying's side.

Jiang Panhua also noticed the change in Zhao Ying's expression. Although she was used to being sarcastic, she also knew that one must be careful in everything. She couldn't just say something final and make the other party so angry that he would jump off the wall.

Boiling a frog in warm water is the best approach.

Since Jiang Shuzhen gave her this opportunity, she decided to go out and sweep the yard.

She firmly believed that during the entire day, these two people would not fail to reveal any flaws.

Only after Jiang Panhua twisted her waist and walked out of the house did Jiang Shuzhen secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In this family, she has always been careful in her words and actions, and has been cautious in her conduct. She would be trembling with fear at the slightest mistake, for fear that she would end up like Jiang Panhua - being hostile to the entire Su family.

"Shuzhen, look at these balls of thread."

The two of them entered the bedroom one after the other, quietly closed the door, and then carefully moved out the box that Su Wanwan had moved back yesterday from under the table cloth.

Jiang Shuzhen had already checked the balls of thread in the box last night. Seeing that these were obviously of much better quality than the previous batch, and there were even some spare thin threads, Zhao Ying played with them in her hands over and over again.

"These patterns are much more than last time. Wan Wan also told us to do what we want. I was thinking that with so many patterns, why not embroider some flowers on the cloak?"

Jiang Shuzhen naturally fully agreed with Zhao Ying's opinion.

After all, I only worked for a few days and I saw so much money. I could also learn other embroidery skills from Zhao Ying. I was so happy that I could even dream about it in the middle of the night.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."

The two of them placed the balls of yarn in the box on the table one by one, studied them briefly for a while, and then took out the pattern booklet that Su Wanwan had brought back earlier. After comparing and discussing it, they determined the style of the cloak to be made from these balls of yarn, and even finalized the time.

During the whole process, Zhao Ying had a smile on her face all the time.

Jiang Shuzhen watched all of this and silently crocheted patterns with her knitting needles.

Jiang Panhua, who was sent to the yard, just symbolically swept the dirt in the yard a few times with a broom, then found a quiet place to lean against the wall, staring straight at the window of the Su family's hall.

Because it was summer, the torn newspaper on the window was half torn. Looking inside through the hole in the newspaper, I saw the tightly closed bedroom door.

The tightly closed bedroom door was reflected in her pupils, and Jiang Panhua was no longer in a hurry.

She just needed to make sure that Zhao Ying and Jiang Shuzhen were doing something together behind her back.

For her, barging in directly was not a wise choice. After all, if she quietly sneaked to the door of the room and pushed it open, and found two people sleeping on the kang, it would cause another dispute.

Perhaps Zhao Ying would be so angry that he might directly drive her out of the Su family and let the whole village watch the fun.

In order to prevent accidents, Jiang Panhua observed in the corner for a while before quietly putting the broom in the corner and tiptoeing into the hall of the Su family.
