The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

Seeing that she had made the man angry, Zhou Laiying felt happy and quietly gave Aunt Niu a thumbs up. Aunt Niu raised her eyebrows at her proudly: See? You little brat, it's still me! I never really fought with you before.

Ignoring the boastful Aunt Niu, Zhou Laiying decided to deal with the annoying Xu Xiangfeng first, and then let the arrogant Aunt Niu know her own worth.

She clapped her hands and talked to the other invited ladies about business: "I made an agreement with the old sisters last night. Although my brother-in-law passed away early, Erhua has been raised by me, so she is the child that we hold in the palm of our hands and cherish.

A stable job, tall, and handsome, who dares to say that our Erhua is not one of the best talents in the whole Zhou County?"

Seeing the onlookers nodding in agreement, Zhou Laiying became even more proud. When she looked at Xu Xiangfeng, her eyes were full of mockery. "Jianshe and I originally wanted Erhua to stay with us for a few more years and enjoy the happiness of being a girl for a few more years, but Xu Xiufeng's son is eloquent. We thought that since the children liked each other and had lived in the same courtyard for so many years, we would be able to take care of them after marriage, so we reluctantly agreed to this marriage."

At this point, Zhou Laiying's voice suddenly rose, and he pointed at Xu Xiangfeng and said with gritted teeth: "Who would have thought that my family would be so sincere to others? Some people are just taking advantage of others and acting ungrateful.

Their family only wants a hundred yuan for the bride price. A hundred yuan. Even though people are not rich these days, the bride price for marrying a wife even in the countryside would be more than a hundred yuan, right?

Our family wanted to give Erhua a face, so we gave her a betrothal gift. They would treat Erhua well in the future, which was better than anything else. Even for the dowry, our family prepared three turns and one ring, as well as four seasons of bedding and clothes. Which one of them is not worth a hundred yuan?

But some people are just pushing their noses and taking advantage of others. Even so, they still think we want too much. What's the matter? Is your son's earrings gold-rimmed? Or does he have an extra eye compared to others?

I really think my family's dowry is too much, why don't you send your son to marry someone else? You don't have to pay the dowry, and there is still a dowry to be taken. In the future, the child will not have your family name, and you don't have to spend money or effort on the wife's birth, confinement, and raising the child. How wonderful!

"Xu Xiangfeng, why don't you speak? Don't pretend to be dumb here. Tell me what I said was wrong? Which words wronged you? Huh? Speak!"

Xu Xiangfeng didn't dare to look up when she was questioned, but her eyes were rolling around, thinking about what to say to turn the current situation around.

Although Zhou Laiying was a fierce person in the past, and Aunt Niu was the only one in the whole compound who dared to retort to her, she was always kind and gentle to her and spoke nicely. Why did she suddenly become so hateful?

It was not until Zhou Laiying suddenly raised her voice and asked her to speak that she was frightened.

She raised her head and saw Zhou Laiying's murderous eyes, tears streaming down her face. "Sister-in-law, I...I didn't say that. I didn't complain that the betrothal gift was too much. It was all misunderstood by others. I really like Erhua, and I want two children..."

"Hey!" Zhou Laiying took a step back and moved away from Xu Xiangfeng. "Don't cry, it's like I bullied you. The neighbors are watching here. I didn't touch you at all. Let's talk about it and solve it after we talk. What do you mean by wiping your tears when you talk?"

"Sister-in-law, I didn't want to cry, but I just couldn't help it... Woo, sister-in-law, you really wronged me... Woo, we are an orphan and a widow, and our lives have been so hard these years, woo..."

Zhou Laiying's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. She was very annoyed by Xu Xiangfeng's habit of crying whenever she spoke: if you spoke to her in a nice way, she would be vague with you; if you were polite to her, she would act like a coward; if you reasoned with her, she would cry to you; if you spoke louder, she would say you were bullying her.

The problem is not solved, and it just makes people feel annoyed.

Most people had heard about what happened in front of the factory last night. No matter how much Xu Xiangfeng cried, she couldn't feel sympathy, and even felt a little disgusted.

Zhou Laiying asked her to speak out what she wanted to say, but she didn't say a word. Instead, she implied that Zhou Laiying was bullying them, an orphan and a widow.

If I hadn't heard the whole story, I would have really thought that Zhou Laiying had done something to her.

However, since they all lived in the same compound, it was difficult to speak. They just looked at each other strangely and even felt sympathy for Zhou Laiying's family: it was really frustrating to have to deal with such a tough guy that could neither be steamed nor boiled.

But there was a man who saw her crying and felt like his heart was being scratched by a cat's claws, and he jumped out to speak for her, "Jianshe wife, don't be so aggressive. I've been watching here for a long time. Comrade Xu was kind enough to send tofu to your family, but you didn't appreciate it, and you kept saying nonsense. Comrade Xu put up with it, but you kept talking nonsense. Aren't you just bullying Comrade Xu because her husband passed away early and there's no one at home to support her?"

Zhou Laiying's eyebrows stood up when she heard this, and she cursed at the man who was talking: "Liu Dazhi, are you blind? Or are you deaf? Is this about tofu? I am talking to her about the marriage between her family's Li Dongfeng and my family's Erhua. All the neighbors are here to bear witness, and no one else interrupted. Only you are itching for something, right? What's the matter? I don't know which chicken coop door was not closed properly, and let a thing like you out to make a fool of yourself. It's so easy to fight against injustice. A few days ago, there was a thief in the yard, and everyone came out, but you are the only one hiding in the house pretending to be a turtle? Your wife is more manly than you, you are not even as good as a woman! Hey, what do you want to do with the brick? Come, I'll give you my head, if you have the guts, just hit it on the head! I respect you as a man."

Liu Dazhi held in his hand half a brick that he had taken from the chicken coop at the door in excitement. The corners of his mouth trembled. He raised the brick in his hand and put it down, put it down and raised it again, over and over again, but he didn't have the courage to really smash it.

He is a mathematics teacher at Zhou County Central Primary School. He always feels that his big and strong country wife is not as good as Xu Xiangfeng. However, although Xu Xiangfeng is usually gentle to everyone, she is not close to anyone, which always makes him feel restless and has nowhere to rest his heart.

He jumped out today to show off in front of Xu Xiangfeng, so that she would pay more attention to him in the future. He didn't expect Zhou Laiying to start cursing as soon as she opened her mouth. But he claimed to be a cultured person, so he couldn't say anything bad. In a fit of excitement, he picked up a brick to increase his momentum. But Zhou Laiying was not easy to scare. She put him here with just a few words. He couldn't throw the brick or hit him. He looked like he was about to cry, "Zhou Laiying, don't go too far!"

Zhou Laiying was so angry that she laughed. "I'm here to reason with Xu Xiangfeng, and you jump out like a toad and accuse me of bullying. When you can't win the argument, you even use a brick to scare me. How can you say that I'm going too far? You've been a teacher for so many years, and you're still confusing right and wrong? I'm going to go to your school and ask the leaders tomorrow. If all the teachers in the school are people like you, what are the children learning in school?"

Thinking about the situation in the past few years and his colleagues who had their hair cut into yin-yang hair, Liu Dazhi was really scared, but he couldn't bring himself to say something soft. He pointed at Zhou Laiying for a long time with trembling hands, but couldn't utter a word. Finally, he threw his sleeves and said, "You bitch, you are unreasonable!"

When he reached the door of his house, he cursed her fiercely: "Shrew!"
