After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

"Qiuhua, I'm a little thirsty. Bring me a bowl of water." Shen Yunwan wanted to take action, but when she saw the villagers outside the house, she calmed down instantly.

In this society, filial piety comes first. Even if she has to take action, she should do it when no one is around. After all, she still has to live in this village and cannot be criticized by others.

After drinking the water, Shen Yunwan coughed twice softly, then immediately fell to the ground with her hands covering her head. The shovel in her hand seemed to accidentally hit Old Lady Lin and her daughter-in-law.

Before Old Mrs. Lin could react, she clapped her hands on the ground and cried bitterly.

"Mom! You guys are trying to force me to death! For the sake of this family, I get up before dawn to work. Every day, I can only go to sleep after I've made sure you're well taken care of. Today, there was a lot of work to do in the fields, so I worked a little longer. I didn't have time to cook, and then my second brother and sister-in-law beat me up and pushed me into the river. If Qiuhua and her sister hadn't seen it, I would have drowned in the river!"

As she spoke, she lifted up her hair and showed her swollen and bloody forehead to the villagers outside.

Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other and started talking.

"Oh, what a sin! The eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family is a good worker. She came out to sweep the yard before dawn. I just went to work in the fields and she came back with a basket."

"This Lin family is a bully. They treat the eldest son's wife like a cow."

"Those of you who have daughters should be careful. The third son of the Lin family hasn't married yet, so you can't push your daughter into the fire pit."

……

The commotion outside the courtyard reached Old Lady Lin and the others, word for word. Lin Jiang instantly snapped back to her senses. Her son hadn't even gotten married yet. If this bitch ruined his reputation, how could he ever look at a girl again?!

But I can't teach her a lesson in front of the neighbors. What if this bitch goes crazy again?

"Sister-in-law..." Lin Jiang was about to use moral blackmail when Shen Yunwan stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, tell me honestly, do I treat Xiangdong and Xiangxi like my own sons?! Chunhua and Qiuhua are also your nephews, how could you have the heart to hit them with such a thick stick... Woo woo woo, you really have a cruel heart! If I hadn't woken up early, you would have beaten them to death!!"

"I don't care how you hit me or scold me, but you can't do this to my daughter!"

"Today you pushed me into the river and broke my head. I said something to you, didn't I? Chunhua just saw that I hadn't eaten all day, so she brought me a yam root from the kitchen, and you beat her to death... Look at Chunhua, she's obviously eight years old, but she looks like she's about four or five..."

Shen Yunwan pushed Chunhua towards Lin Xiangxi while crying. When the two stood together, the difference between them was instantly apparent. Chunhua was still wearing homespun clothes that Lin Xiangxi couldn't wear. There were more than twenty patches on them, and she looked so pitiful no matter how you looked at her.

"How could Mrs. Lin Huang be so cruel! Chunhua looks so dark and thin, but she was beaten even for taking a little food!"

"There's no one in Ping'an Village more mean-spirited than Huang Lifen. Cheng Feng's wife is one of the most hardworking in our village. How could Huang Lifen not know how to be content?"

"That's right. Cheng Feng is a private school teacher now. He gets one ounce of silver a month. We can't let that bitch Huang Lifen take it all, right?"

"I heard that Huang Lifen really didn't give Cheng Feng's wife a penny. It was all confiscated!"

……

Old Mrs. Lin was so angry that her teeth itched. She cursed at her: "You rag-tag thing, if it weren't for me, you would have starved to death on the street. I betrothed you to Cheng Feng so that you could have something to eat. Not only are you ungrateful, but now you dare to blame me!"

"Look at those two money-losing babies you gave birth to. I'm lucky I didn't beat them to death, and you still want to eat?! Ugh!!"

"Wuwuwu, mother! No matter what, she is your granddaughter! My husband is working outside to earn money for the family, and you are abusing his daughter like this..."

"I'm going to find Cheng Feng now. If he doesn't help me, I'll take my two daughters and jump into the river. I don't want to live anymore anyway..." As she said that, she stood up and took Chunhua and her sister and walked out.

How could Old Lady Lin let her go to the town to file a complaint? This was one or two taels of silver, which an ordinary person couldn't earn in a year.

Besides, Lin Chengfeng is a scholar. If it weren't for this status, how could her Lin family have any say in the village? !

When Cheng Feng passes the provincial examination next year, her Lin family will be able to completely cross the class barrier and no longer have to dig for food in the fields.

"Shen Yunwan! Stop right there! If you dare to ruin Cheng Feng's reputation, I'll chop you into pieces!"

Old Mrs. Lin was sure that she would not dare to disobey. Shen Yunwan had come here to escape famine, and if she left the Lin family, she would have nowhere to go!

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Lin straightened her spine again.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunwan indeed paused.

"Mother." Chunhua tugged at Shen Yunwan's sleeve, "When my aunt hit me today, she said she wanted to kick us out..."

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Over the years, she watched her mother being bullied, and not only did she not resist, she also condoned them beating and scolding her and her younger sister.

But today, A Niang not only quarreled with her grandmother, but also protected her... It was like she had become a different person.

She looked up and stared at the hand held by A'niang, and her nose felt sore. Since she could remember, A'niang had never been kind to her. This was the first time A'niang held her hand.

"Chunhua, you are really my good daughter!" Shen Yunwan squatted down and excitedly hugged Chunhua in her arms.

Chunhua was stunned for a moment and didn't even dare to move.

Qiuhua stared at the scene with her big dark eyes and opened her arms towards Shen Yunwan: "Mother~"

Shen Yunwan reached out and held her in her arms, touching her little head.

It’s really cute, but it’s malnourished. It’s so nice to hold it in your arms.

But it doesn’t matter. Since she has become their mother, she will definitely raise these children to be plump and healthy.

Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin Jiang looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

There seems to be something wrong with this bitch. Is she possessed by a water ghost?

While they were making wild guesses, Shen Yunwan's mind was full of thoughts on how to divide the family.

"Sister-in-law, since you want us to get out, let's separate today." Shen Yunwan stood up and stared at her.

"Bah! You bitch! I'm still alive and well, and you dare to bring up the idea of ​​dividing the family? Believe it or not, I'll divorce you!"

The third child hasn't even married yet, and she's still counting on the eldest daughter to earn her a dowry. How could she possibly split up the family property so easily?!

Besides, when the two money-losing girls from the old lady's family grow up a little, they can be sent to Mr. Meng's house to be maids, and they will receive three cents of monthly salary.

If you want to divide the family, you have to wait until she dies!

Shen Yunwan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was not the era she lived in, and that Old Lady Lin could really divorce her.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunwan knelt down on the ground, crying with a sad face: "Wuwuwu... This is really unfair..."
