After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 161 The Best Parents of That Era (4)
Xie Shuisheng went to his wife's side first, and magically produced two large oranges, stuffing them into her hands. He then carefully selected the sweetest piece of sugarcane and handed it to Mi Ruolan. Finally, he gave the rest to Xie's mother.
With just a dozen or so oranges and two or three sugarcanes, Xie Shuisheng first made sure his wife's share was clear and proper, then left the rest to his mother to divide however she wanted.
Looking at her second son, Old Lady Xie felt extremely displeased. This boy, since returning home, only knew how to dote on his wife, neglecting even his own parents.
Back then, this second son was known for being filial and obedient. But in the past year or so, I don't know what evil has possessed him, he seems like a completely different person.
At this moment, Jie Tiansheng spoke up, launching into a tirade, "Second brother, look at you! There are elderly people and young children in this house, but you don't see anyone when you come in. All you know is how to dote on your wife."
"Regarding what happened with your wife just now, as her elder brother, I can't really say anything, but surely we can say a few words about it, right?"
Sister-in-law Jie already disapproved of her second brother and his wife's behavior, and now that she saw her own husband think the same way, she felt even more certain that she hadn't done anything wrong.
The elderly couple also felt that their eldest son was right. As the eldest brother, if his younger brother did not do well, he should indeed teach him properly.
After all, what the second son and his wife have done over the past year has seriously affected the harmony of the family. Now, the eldest son's family and the third son's family are starting to have complaints.
A family should live in harmony and togetherness. How can they be of one mind if they are not united? How can they manage the family if they are not of one mind?
Just like the second son and his wife today, they took it upon themselves to take away the family's food rations without everyone's consent.
And the second son went even further today. They haven't separated yet, and everyone's earnings and possessions have to go to the communal fund, which will then distribute them to everyone.
If everyone in the family is as selfish as him, then the family will fall apart. And if the family falls apart, won't the family break up soon?
As parents, they couldn't let that happen.
The third son and his wife just watched the fun from the sidelines; they never got a chance to speak in these kinds of situations.
Xie Shuisheng noticed that everyone in the family, young and old, was looking at him and his wife with condemning eyes, as if they had committed some terrible crime.
He glanced coolly at everyone present and asked casually, "Are you still going to eat this meal? If no one wants to eat, then we'll tear everything up, and nobody will get any."
Seeing that his second brother was so stubborn, Jie Tiansheng said angrily, "Second brother, I am your eldest brother. If you do something wrong, of course I have to correct you."
Without saying a word, Xie Shuisheng was about to overturn the table, but the family was prepared. Some held the table down, while others quickly picked up the bowls, chopsticks, and food.
Everyone worked together very well. This kind of thing has happened so many times this year that they've gotten used to it.
Mirolan looked at all of this, feeling both familiar and strange.
What's familiar is the little things that happened this year; what's unfamiliar is that the Jie Shuisheng of his past life would never have done it this way.
In his past life, he was an honest person who couldn't be more honest. He would only have some ulterior motives when it came to her, and he would occasionally talk back to his parents.
That's why the elderly couple in the Xie family particularly disliked her as their daughter-in-law, and even felt a bit disgusted by her.
Ever since his seemingly honest second son married this young woman, he has become disobedient and started having his own little schemes.
A year ago, the second child was filial to his parents, listened to his older brother, and took care of his younger brother and other younger relatives.
But ever since the second daughter-in-law had a conflict with the eldest daughter-in-law, the second son has become a completely different person, often flipping the table at the drop of a hat.
If Old Lady Xie knew that her youngest daughter-in-law was a vixen who would bewitch her son, she would definitely oppose her son marrying her.
Tsk tsk tsk, you really get what you pay for. And this cheap stuff is the kind that'll cause trouble at home. Look at that vixen-like face.
Several adults were chatting idly, while the children had already finished their portions, including Mirolan.
When Sister-in-law Jie saw her husband scolding his disobedient younger brother, who dared to disrespect him, she couldn't bear to see him suffer such humiliation. With a roar, she rushed over, wanting to scratch him.
Mi Ruolan naturally couldn't let her man be bullied, so she casually threw the wooden bowl in her hand, which hit Sister-in-law Jie squarely on the forehead.
He then leaped onto Sister-in-law Xie and slapped her repeatedly across the face.
That fierceness was exactly the same as when the second brother used to beat up the eldest brother.
Jie Tiansheng wanted to pull the two of them apart, but when Jie Shuisheng saw that his wife had the upper hand, he immediately ran forward to stop Jie Tiansheng. When Jie Tiansheng thought about how badly he had been beaten by his second brother, he immediately chickened out.
Li Xiaocao originally wanted to go up and help his sister-in-law, but when he heard Xie Shuisheng say, "This is a matter between my wife and sister-in-law, you should all stay out of it."
Sister-in-law Xie screamed as she was beaten, and hurriedly called to her two daughters, "What are you two standing there for? Come and help me!"
Hehua really wanted to help, but she was afraid of her second uncle. When her mother called her to help earlier, the way her second uncle looked at her startled her.
Finally, Old Man Xie couldn't stand the mess anymore, so he waved his hand and overturned the table that Second Brother Xie hadn't yet flipped, which finally stopped the two fighters.
Mi Ruolan was heartbroken by her children's indifference, but considering that they were all parents, she decided to give her father some face and obediently stopped.
But she really didn't want to listen to their nagging, so she immediately leaned weakly against Xie Shuisheng, as if she had used up all her strength. "I'm so weak right now, please carry me back to my room."
Before leaving, they made sure to take the porridge and potatoes that Xie Shuisheng hadn't eaten. When they arrived at the door, they could still hear Xie's sister-in-law crying.
"Mother, look how dare my second sister-in-law hit me! I'm her sister-in-law! How can I face the Xie family after this?"
The old lady was exasperated: "Didn't you strike first? If you had the guts to do it, you should have the guts to bear the consequences."
Sister-in-law Jie: "...Waaah, I don't want to live anymore~ You're all bullying me..."
Looking at the chaotic scene, Old Lady Xie cursed her second son inwardly for making such a mess of things and then leaving her to clean up the mess.
After the commotion subsided, the tasks still had to be done. The two girls from the eldest son's family and Li Xiaocao cleaned up the dishes and went to boil water, while the remaining children cleaned the main room.
Everyone else who had nothing to do went back to their rooms. It was already dark, so they could only lie down in bed, since there were blankets on the bed and it would be warmer to be covered up.
As soon as Mi Ruolan entered the room, she couldn't wait to eat the two oranges that Jie Shuisheng had given her.
Looking at his wife's carefree attitude, Xie Shuisheng smiled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, "Have you hurt yourself? Let me check."
He then checked the area thoroughly, and only felt relieved after confirming that there were no injuries.
