Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree
Chapter 17 Warm House Wine: Jiang's Mischief
The dishes were served and the meal was ready. Guests arrived one after another, and the meal was only started after the village chief and clan elders had all arrived.
The village chief and clan elders naturally sat together. The clan elders also invited a few more of Tang San's uncles to make up a table. The remaining uncles and elders sat at another table at Tang Zijie's invitation, and each table was served a pot of rice wine.
Ru Xiu pulled the village chief's wife to sit down, while the second aunt led the children to sit at another table as originally planned.
Without Ru Xiu's invitation, everyone was already familiar with the group. The men's two tables immediately started toasting and eating and drinking; the children's table was also eating large chunks of meat, drinking large bowls of soup, and imitating them with sweet drinks, making a lively scene. However, at Ru Xiu's table, everyone had finally managed to sit down, and since they weren't very hungry, and the village chief's wife was also there, they ate slowly and chatted occasionally.
"Hey, you're staying at my place and eating my food. I'm not dead yet, why are you spending my money on lavish meals and acting all high and mighty?"
Just as everyone was wondering why Jiang had been quiet for so long, she deliberately chose the day she entered the house to annoy people. Ru Xiu clenched her fists, and Sister Shi at the next table stood up angrily.
"Tang Ershi said all of this because he came from my belly. You slut who brings bad luck to your husband and children, you eat well and drink well without even saying hello. You are unfilial."
Standing next to Jiang, Zhang chimed in, "Second Aunt, it's wrong of you not to bring your parents over for the housewarming party."
“I say, Aunt Jiang, Mrs. Tang, it seems you’ve forgotten that we’ve severed ties. If you’re bringing money to see Xi Ge, please come in. I’ll show you our poor Xi Ge. Today, he can’t even open his eyes to kowtow to his father.”
“No matter what, we’re all family. You’ve also taken a share of the Tang family’s assets.” Zhang’s mouth was soft and sweet. She didn’t dare to raise her voice, but if she didn’t speak up, she was afraid that Jiang would pinch her if she went back.
"The person we are worshipping today is Tang Ershi of the Tang family. The food and lodging we have are all rightfully Tang Ershi's. Do you want me to show you the house deeds and land deeds?" After severing ties, Ruxiu was afraid of future entanglements, so the next day she asked the village chief to help her exchange the deeds for official red deeds, which cost her a full tael of silver.
"Tan Ruxiu, you slut, you wretched foot that brings misfortune to your husband and children, I'll watch you die, your son and daughter die, and you'll all be extinct and your family line will end."
"Be careful not to curse yourself when you curse others. Watch where you walk."
Before Ruxiu could finish speaking, Auntie Er didn't notice that Sister Shi had rushed towards Jiang like a firecracker. Jiang was still standing with her hands on her hips, cursing loudly with a fierce look on her face, and didn't notice at all. When Zhang saw the danger, she dodged to the side without helping Jiang.
Jiang fell backward, luckily without hitting her head.
"Ouch, my old back hurts so much. Who did this...you good-for-nothing, which slut gave you the guts? I'll sell you to a brothel."
"I'm going to kill you! You're not my mother at all, and even beasts aren't as vicious as you!" Sister Shi rushed forward too fast and lost her balance. If she hadn't grabbed the door at the last moment, she would have fallen hard.
Brother Le realized what was happening and rushed over to help Sister Shi. Ge'er cried loudly in fright, "You bad guy, you want to kill me again!"
"Zhang, are you just going to stand by and watch your mother get bullied? Come here now, or I'll teach you a lesson when we get back." Only then did Zhang run over tremblingly to help her up. Jiang cried out in pain, and angrily pinched Zhang a few times: "I'll see you run away, I'll see you run away."
"Go, bury those two brats." Ru Xiu quickly pulled the two back. The village chief's wife and Tang Zijie squeezed in front of Ru Xiu and the others. Zhang Shi looked at so many people and didn't dare to come over, but was pushed by Jiang Shi.
At this moment, the village chief and clan elders came out of the main room.
Jiang immediately began to play the victim: "Village chief, clan elders, you must stand up for this old woman! Look what a terrible thing I've given birth to, you all want to kill me! Look at my old back!" Jiang cried out in pain.
"It will definitely take half a year for him to stand up straight... He won't be able to get better, no way, he has to pay me back."
“Mrs. Jiang, I think you don’t want to live in Tangjia Village anymore, right?”
"If you keep causing trouble, we'll kick you out of the village."
"Zhang, where the hell have you been?"
When the village chief and clan leader came out, Zhang slipped out of the house.
Seeing that she couldn't gain any advantage, Jiang wanted Zhang to help her, but Zhang was nowhere to be seen. Jiang had no choice but to grumble and whine as she went back, knowing that Zhang would definitely suffer the consequences when she got back.
After this whole commotion, everyone's good mood was ruined. Luckily, they had all eaten most of the food. The women comforted Ruxiu and the children, while the men at both tables drank a few more glasses of wine and then dispersed.
Each person returned the favor with six steamed buns and a pig's head. The village chief and clan elders also gave two ounces of sugar cakes. They went back home one after another.
After the guests left, the host relaxed, and everyone busied themselves cleaning up. There was a lot of leftover food, so Ru Xiu asked several people to share it. She gave an extra portion to the host and another to the village chief. Ru Xiu asked Brother Le to deliver the village chief's portion, along with the remaining half-pot of wine.
After everything was washed, put away, and returned what needed to be returned, everyone took their large bags of return gifts and leftovers home.
On her way back, Liu Niang happened to pass by Tang Laoqi's house. Zhang Shi, whose face was swollen on one side, saw what Liu Niang was holding and angrily slammed the door shut.
Xige heard the commotion outside in the west room today, and he was so angry that he didn't finish the food they gave him. His second aunt and the three little ones stayed with him without saying a word. Everyone seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Mother, are we just going to swallow our anger and be bullied like this? I don't think this old hag will let it go." After the family was severed, the children secretly called her an old hag, and Ruxiu let them have their way. Anyway, she was the one who destroyed the family ties little by little.
"Only when we become strong will we be less likely to be bullied."
"Mother, I want to learn martial arts. I want to protect you and my younger siblings," Xige said through gritted teeth.
"I want to do business, I want to make lots and lots of money so I won't be called a little beggar anymore, and if I become a rich man I won't be bullied." Brother Le thought so too.
"Oh, I want to be a female general and beat up bad guys."
"I just want to burn their whole house down." Sister Shi seemed to have made up her mind.
If not properly guided, Xiu Zhen fears that their thinking will become distorted and prejudiced, turning them into villains and ultimately cannon fodder of this era.
