The 1970s: Military Family Beauty

On the way home, Hu Xiuqing met Yu Caixia, the one who wanted to get in but was not able to in the afternoon.

Yu Caixia was a person who would not tolerate any loss overnight and would make up for it double. After being refused entry by Jiang Furong and scolded a few times, she still felt unsatisfied, so she simply waited for Hu Xiuqing on the road.

It didn't take long before he finally found it.

"Xiuqing, did you really go to the hospital? Wasn't your son's hand reattached yesterday? How come... Oh, who hit you in the face?" Yu Caixia shouted in surprise.

Hu Xiuqing pulled at her scarf and waved her hands desperately, her voice hoarse, "Don't shout, don't shout. Let's go to my house and talk."

Her throat was still burning with pain, and holding three lozenges in her mouth didn't seem to help.

Yu Caixia rolled her eyes, her mouth almost curled down to her chin: "I don't dare go to your house. Your boss doesn't welcome me and even slammed the door on my nose."

Hu Xiuqing was surprised: "Did they kick you out?"

Yu Caixia snorted, "I've seen people who don't know their way around, but I've never seen anyone as clueless as your eldest brother! I heard from Sister Wang that your mother-in-law was here, so I wanted to go see them and say hello. But your eldest brother only opened the door so narrowly, and when he saw me, he slammed it, locked it with a click, and drew the curtains. Hey, let me ask you, what are your mother-in-law and the others doing in the house with the door closed because you're not home?!"

When Hu Xiuqing mentioned Grandma Jiang, she became furious: "My mother-in-law and I don't get along. Whenever she comes, I start to have bad luck. You still go to see her? Don't flatter her!"

Yu Caixia feigned surprise. "Why are they not getting along? Did your mother-in-law scold you? Did she team up with your sister-in-law to bully you? Did they hit you in the face? Or did they instigate your wife to do it?"

Hu Xiuqing was so ashamed and angry that she tried to save face by not mentioning the two slaps Jiang Dapeng had slapped her twice. "After my mother-in-law came, our eldest son had someone backing him up. He couldn't be ordered around and always talked back to me."

Yu Caixia glared at him, "Dare to talk back to you? Did she slap you in the face? Look at you, a girl dares to hit her own mother? If it were me, I would beat her to death and then drag her out for a parade!"

Hu Xiuqing wanted to fight, but she couldn't: "Her father and grandmother are here."

Yu Caixia snorted, "So what if she's here? You have to show some strength. You can't let your mother-in-law ride on your head. In this world, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. You have to sweep them out like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves!"

Hu Xiuqing was extremely annoyed: "I have to take care of the children and go to work by myself. I get up early and go to bed late every day. I don't even have time to eat or sleep. I am exhausted when I get home. How can I have the energy to take care of them?"

When Hu Xiuqing thought of Jiang Furong holding a kitchen knife to guard against her, she felt a little scared and couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Yu Caixia snorted contemptuously, "This house is yours, and you're just giving them a hard time! What's the matter? You have a city hukou, earn a high salary, and send money and food coupons to your mother-in-law and the others, so they have to coax you into happiness! How can you let someone who eats your food and spends your money ride on your head!"

"Yes! We send it every month!" Hu Xiuqing was shocked and became excited.

Yu Caixia took the opportunity to incite them: "Whoever pays is the boss! When your wife is not at home, you are the boss! You have to put down their anger and improve your own prestige!"

Hu Xiuqing was motivated. Thinking that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both in the hospital, this was a good opportunity to regain her prestige: "I'm going to teach her a lesson right now! I don't believe I can't control her!"

She seemed to see Jiang Furong being stepped on by her and could only cry but not beg for mercy. Her eyes lit up and her breathing became heavier.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yu Caixia said again, "He needs to be taught a lesson! Closing the door and drawing the curtains in broad daylight must be something he's up to!"

Hu Xiuqing couldn't stand it any longer. She wanted to go home immediately, grab Jiang Furong's ears and slap her a few times. "I'm going to go check it out. That damn girl is really naughty now!"

"Hurry, hurry, don't let her destroy the evidence." Yu Caixia continued to fan the flames behind the scenes. Looking at Hu Xiuqing's back as she walked further and further away, she snorted disdainfully, "I don't believe a yellow-haired girl can defeat me!"

Hu Xiuqing was anxious and quickened his pace.

Jiang Guoqing had to jog to keep up: "Mom, my sisters are pulling down the curtains. Did they eat all the dumplings they left for me?"

When his mother fed him alone at home, she would draw the curtains and lock the door.

Hu Xiuqing hummed, "Then hurry up! They'll eat it all in a little while, leaving not even the skin but a little soup in the pot."

The mother and son ran to the door of their house breathlessly. Hu Xiuqing stopped to gather her emotions, but Jiang Guoqing had already jumped up the stairs and pushed open the door.

As soon as Jiang Guoqing smelled the familiar aroma, he knew the dumplings were still there and immediately shouted, "Where are the dumplings you left for me?"

Hu Xiuqing originally wanted to kick the door open and shout loudly to show his power, but his son got there first. He was so angry that he had to stomp his feet and walk into the house.

With the psychological shadow of the knife and kitchen knife, Hu Xiuqing subconsciously looked at what was around Jiang Furong as soon as he entered the door.

In the middle of the dining table was a large steaming bowl, next to which were two empty rice bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and a long rolling pin for rolling noodles.

Hu Xiuqing's arrogance flickered for a moment, and he lowered himself a little. He didn't dare to approach, but just roared with all his might: "You're eating alone at home with the door locked! No matter how much you guard against a thief in your own home, you can't prevent him!"

Hu Xiuqing looked at the dumplings, feeling a sharp pain as if her flesh had been cut. What was on the table were not dumplings, but fifty kilograms of grain and twenty kilograms of flour! All of this had been stolen from her pocket!

Jiang Furong calmly retorted, "My dad knows how many dumplings he made. Just count and you'll know." She picked up the rolling pin and pointed at the military satchel in the cart, "His mother is here, so I cooked a few more. Look, the bowl and chopsticks are still here. They haven't been touched."

Only then did Hu Xiuqing see a new shoulder bag that did not belong to his family. Not knowing whether the guest was in his home, he gritted his teeth and did not continue to curse.

Jiang Furong added, "My dad said that I will be responsible for the family meals during the period when my grandma is in the hospital and after she is discharged."

In Hu Xiuqing's eyes, Jiang Furong was not holding a rolling pin, but a flag, waving it around.

"After stealing the food coupons, you're still trying to seize the food banknotes." Hu Xiuqing felt a surge of anger and cursed, "Bah! I won't surrender!"

Jiang Furong was not afraid at all now. If Xiao Baoying had not been here, she would have laughed out loud.

A poor family with a rich road, but all they do is to save the little food and support their family. Not only will they not be able to become rich in their next life, they will never be able to make sense in this life.
