In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 24: A notorious reputation
The scene just now attracted a lot of onlookers. More and more villagers witnessed Su Zhonghuai and Li being splashed with feces, and everyone ridiculed them.
The couple already had a bad reputation in the village, and now it was even worse. Many people were happy to take advantage of their misfortune and pointed fingers at the smelly couple.
It was fine when there were few people, but when there were many, the onlookers were too lazy to control their voices and discussed and ridiculed each other.
Li and Su Zhonghuai still had some dignity to maintain. Under the ridicule of the people around them, their faces turned red. Looking at Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin opposite them, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth, but they could do nothing.
In the end, Li said harshly, "Su Zhizhi, you little bitch, just wait for me, I'll make you pay!"
But what Li got in response was another bucket of sewage. "Old hag! Your mouth still stinks. Let me wash it for you again!" This was Su Zhizhi's voice.
Li was hit hard on the head, and the nerves in her brain were completely broken. She screamed and ran out of the yard. Su Zhonghuai could not do the same thing as Li, so he could only chase after Li in shame.
Seeing the two people leave, the other people in the village felt a little reluctant to leave, but since there was nothing more fun to watch, they dispersed in all directions.
After returning home, Li washed herself inside and out several times. She became more and more angry. After thinking about it for a long time at home, she went to find the old lady. She didn't believe that she couldn't deal with Su Zhizhi. With the old lady's help, Su Zhizhi would never attack the old lady again!
No one knew what Li and Su Zhonghuai said to the old lady, but the next day, the old lady came to Su Zhizhi's house again.
The old lady was also very smart. She came to the house for something and brought some food, some meat. She was sure that Mrs. Meng would not refuse these things. It was already noon when the old lady arrived at Su Zhizhi's house.
She chose this time to come because she knew that Su Zhizhi was not at home. At the moment, there were only Su Yu and Meng. Su Yu was not to be feared, and Meng was gentle and easy to control.
"Mom? Why are you here?" When Meng opened the door, she saw the old lady holding a piece of pork in her hand.
The old lady handed the meat to Meng and then walked into the house. "I came to see you today and bring you something."
Mrs. Meng was a little embarrassed, but facing the kindness shown by the old lady, she couldn't refuse. She had to let Su Yu put the things in the kitchen while she entertained the old lady.
The old lady sat opposite Mrs. Meng and seemed to start chatting with her about family matters unintentionally.
Mrs. Meng was a little confused about what the old lady was trying to do, but she still cooperated and continued the conversation.
Seeing that the time was almost right, the old lady intentionally or unintentionally turned the topic to Su Zhonghuai and Li.
"My dear third daughter-in-law, your second brother and your second sister-in-law have both had miserable lives. They haven't been able to conceive in all these years. Mother knows you are a kind-hearted person. Look, you have two children to take care of you in your old age, but they don't!"
"It would be better to give this house to your second brother and sister-in-law. After all, Zhizhi and her husband are still young, and we can build another one in the village. What do you think?" The old lady's eyes were full of shrewdness.
Meng opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. When the old lady mentioned Su Zhonghuai and his wife, her heart sank to the bottom. She thought to herself, what was coming has finally come.
When Meng hesitated, Su Yu stepped forward decisively and said, "Mother..."
Meng looked at Su Yu, only to see Su Yu shaking her head, indicating that Meng should not agree.
Meng calmed down and said, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to agree. You can see that since my husband passed away, our family conditions have not been very good. It's only these few days that Zhizhi went to town to sell some things, and we can barely make ends meet. If this..."
"Third brother's wife, you can't say that. Your second brother and his friends have helped you a lot over the years. How can you have the nerve to say such things now? It's as if an old woman like me is forcing you!"
When the old lady heard that Meng wanted to refuse, her face suddenly turned gloomy.
Meng was even more anxious. She was not good at dealing with people like the old lady, otherwise she would not have been bullied so much over the years. But Su Zhizhi was not at home at the moment, and Su Peizhi was in school, so they could not rush back to help.
Fortunately, at this time, Su Yu's small body blocked Meng's way.
"Grandma, mother won't agree. You'd better go back. Sister Zhizhi has the final say in the family now. If you want to say something, you have to wait for Sister Zhizhi to come back." Although Su Yu is not very old, she acts very maturely.
How could the old lady bear this? It was one thing if it was just Mrs. Meng, but now even a little girl like Su Yu was openly going against her. This was too much.
The old lady's anger was ignited at once. She stood up and pointed her finger at Su Yu with a particularly ferocious expression on her face. "You damned girl, who do you think you are?"
"You're not allowed to talk to me here? You're just a little bastard bought from outside. You're not a member of my Su family at all. It's not your turn to interrupt here. Get out!"
But Su Yu was not afraid of the old lady at all. She still stood in front of Li, staring at the old lady without saying a word.
The old lady couldn't sit still, so she strode over and started pulling Su Yu with great force, as if she wanted to throw Su Yu out.
Fortunately, Su Yu had gotten better nutrition recently and gained some weight, so the old lady didn't move at all.
Meng rushed over and said, "Mother, what are you doing? Yu'er is still a child, how can you say that?"
With Meng's intervention, the old lady was even more unable to succeed. "Okay, okay, you are all lawless, right? You don't take me, an old woman, seriously, right? Fine, then I will show you how powerful I am!"
As she spoke, the old lady picked up the broom beside her and started hitting Meng and Su Yu.
Just as the stick was about to fall, the door was pushed open.
"Who did I think it was? How dare you yell here? I didn't expect it to be an old hag." Su Zhizhi's lazy voice came in, and the next second, the stick was snatched away by Xie Chengjin with quick eyes and hands.
Su Zhizhi came over and checked Su Yu and Meng from head to toe. Seeing that there were no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a coincidence today. They went to the town to sell things and everything went very smoothly.
