Chapter 10: The Division in Progress
The last time the two met was when Zhou Lingling was born.
Because she ate a chicken that Mrs. Chen had eaten while she was in confinement, the smiling old lady Chen plucked her hair out and turned her bald. Mrs. Zhou still can't forget the pain to this day.
This is also one of the reasons why she likes to tease her granddaughter over the years.
Look, your precious granddaughter has to endure the torture in front of me, right?
This gave Old Mrs. Zhou a strange sense of satisfaction.
Zhou Laoer went on strike today, so the plan to have him plow the soil was abandoned.
So the rest of the Zhou family is at home.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Old Man Zhou and the people from the first and third rooms also came out.
Seeing that in addition to the Chen family members outside, there were several heads sticking out from the courtyard wall, Old Man Zhou frowned.
"Why don't you let the in-laws sit inside when they come? How can you talk in the yard?"
After yelling at Old Lady Zhou, Old Man Zhou said to Chen the Butcher, "It's a rare visit from my in-laws. If you have anything to say, please sit down inside and we can talk."
Butcher Chen sneered, "If it weren't for my granddaughter's life hanging by a thread, a crude fellow like me wouldn't dare to visit your Zhou family's noble land."
"This is Doctor Lao Bai, whom I invited from Baohetang. Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I have already paid the consultation fee in advance."
Old Man Zhou's face froze, and he said quickly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Ling girl is also my granddaughter. Her grandmother also gave the second son one tael of silver and asked them to go and get a doctor. I didn't expect that your in-laws were one step faster."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou was stunned.
She hadn't had time to give the silver to the second brother yet...
"What money?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhou Laoer came out with his eyes red and swollen.
"It turns out that my father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle and sister-in-law are here!"
He rushed over excitedly and knelt down before the old couple: "Father and mother-in-law, you came at the perfect time. Please save Lingling!"
The old couple was startled and quickly looked at their daughter.
Wasn’t it agreed that this was acting?
Doesn't this look like acting as a son-in-law?
Chen was also stunned when she saw her husband's appearance. He looked different from when she left in the morning.
Could it be that something really happened to my daughter during the time I was away?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mrs. Chen panicked and shook off the hands of her daughter and daughter-in-law.
"Quick! Doctor Bai, please take a look."
How pitiful!
She only has this one granddaughter.
*
Doctor Lao Bai is the most experienced doctor in Baohetang, and everyone in the surrounding villages knows him.
So when Doctor Lao Bai came out of Lao Zhou's house shaking his head and sighing, everyone thought that Ling girl might really be dying.
"Family separation! We must separate families!"
"My granddaughter is about to die in your hands. I can't let you harm my grandson again!"
After seeing off Doctor Bai, Old Mrs. Chen changed her weak appearance that required support from her daughter and daughter-in-law, and she put her hands on her hips and yelled at Old Mrs. Zhou.
Before Old Man Zhou and Old Lady Zhou could say anything, Mrs. Sun, who had been silent on the side, immediately became anxious when she heard this.
"Mom and Dad, we can't split up the family!"
After the family splits up, what will happen to her son’s education?
Qian from the third wife's house also said, "They say that as long as parents are alive, the family should not be divided. Aunt, aren't you trying to make my second brother and his wife unfilial?"
Chen's aunt was literate, and upon hearing this, she immediately retorted, "Unfilial? Kindness from elders to filial piety is the right thing to do. If the elders are unkind and the younger generation doesn't admonish them, but simply accepts it, that's foolish filial piety."
Old Madam Chen pointed directly at Old Madam Zhou's nose and said, "You black-hearted thief, I must have been blind to marry my daughter into your den of wolves!"
"When my daughter first got married, you asked her for a dowry. If I didn't give you one, you'd just go on making trouble!"
"I asked my daughter to open up wasteland for you during the dog days of summer and bear children for your Zhou family. You old bastard even stole the chicken I sent to my daughter to eat during her confinement period!"
"My granddaughter was only five or six years old, and you asked her to go to the river with her mother to wash clothes in the cold winter. Why didn't you ask your eldest granddaughter to go?"
Old Mrs. Chen scolded everyone in and outside the yard.
"So that's why Zhou Laoer brought his wife to open up wasteland in the dog days of summer. His wife brought quite a bit of dowry back then..."
"When the daughter-in-law gave birth, her parents sent her a chicken, and then her husband's family snatched it away to eat. Old Mrs. Zhou's eating habits are really ugly."
"Speaking of which, I'm afraid this Ling girl is really useless. There's a huge commotion outside, and Zhou Laoer and his wife haven't come out yet!"
"How could he survive being gored by a wild boar? I ran into a couple working in the fields yesterday. They both looked pale, and the Zhou family didn't even mention calling a doctor..."
"This girl is already in poor condition, yet she still forces others to work. This is really..."
Old Lady Zhou, however, argued, "How can Ling compare to Qian? She's just a country girl, and Qian is going to marry into a wealthy family in town and become a housekeeper!"
How can I do these rough jobs?
She asked her eldest grandson to take time to teach her eldest granddaughter. Her eldest granddaughter was pretty, sensible, and literate, which was no worse than those young ladies in town.
"Ah!"
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she laughed.
She rolled up her sleeves. It was rare for her to have to fight with others at this age.
"Since your eldest granddaughter is so precious, my granddaughter saved her life, but where is she?"
"After all these days, has your eldest granddaughter ever asked about my granddaughter's condition? Has she ever called a doctor for her? Has she ever poured her a glass of water? Has she ever shown any concern for her?"
"You haven't taught your granddaughter well. You've made her unfriendly, unfraternal, and heartless. I wouldn't mind helping you teach her a lesson!"
When the people outside heard this, they all looked strange.
The eldest daughter of the Zhou family is such a sensible girl, how could she treat her savior like this?
Is it possible to know a person’s face but not his heart?
Zhou Qianqian, who knew that it was Chen the Butcher and his family who had arrived, had been hiding in the room. When she heard what Old Lady Chen said, she was so scared that she hurriedly checked the door.
Not only was Mrs. Zhou a little afraid of the old woman, she was also a little scared.
When she was a child, she borrowed a necklace from Zhou Lingling and was humiliated by the old lady.
Now, the dignity I had painstakingly maintained for so many years was also stripped away by this old woman...
Zhou Qianqian gritted her teeth and pinched herself hard a few times. The pain made her lips turn white and tears welled up in her eyes.
Then he opened the door and walked out.
"Grandma! Stop speaking for me."
She walked out and interrupted Old Lady Zhou from continuing her nonsense.
"It's all my fault. I've been feeling groggy these past few days and haven't been able to personally take care of my younger sister Lingling. It's only natural that Grandmother Chen is angry."
Old Mrs. Chen finally saw the real person and looked at him with narrowed eyes.
After not seeing her for a few years, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family does seem to have a certain air of dignity, but her tone of voice and her shifty eyes...
It's somewhat similar to the behavior of women in those places.
Old Mrs. Chen chuckled, "Since you're so frightened, it's understandable..."
"I, an old woman, only blame her mother for raising her to be too kind and virtuous. She placed too much emphasis on blood ties, forgetting that not everyone is as kind-hearted as she is!"
"After all that has happened, I, an old woman, have nothing to say. From today on, no matter whether my granddaughter lives or dies, she and my daughter cannot be tortured in your Zhou family anymore. Either you, the Zhou family, separate the second branch, or you let Zhou Laoer and my daughter divorce!"
