There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 118 Is it important to have a face and a belly?

Wu Chunmei lay on the kang and opened the window, and saw her daughter talking to the Zheng family. Thinking that Zheng Chengbao had killed a whole roe deer without even asking for a piece of meat for her family, she took out her anger on her daughter.

“Jinzhi, are you still chatting? Want to take a bath until midnight? Come back quickly.”

glaring at my daughter angrily is of no use at all. She has a beautiful face and doesn’t even have any flesh.

In the past, I wanted my daughter to marry Zheng Chengbao, but now I feel that it was a wrong idea. They are separated from the Zheng family by a wall. If he has good things, he can send them back to the Zheng family at any time, so what is the use of him?

"oh."

Wang Jinzhi heard the anger in her mother's voice and did not dare to delay any longer, so she had no choice but to agree and run into the house.

“Bah, you turned yourself into a mistress and your daughter became her maid, what the hell?”

Gao Guilan spat on the ground. The Wang family used their daughters as strong laborers, assigning farm work and housework to their daughters. Wu Chunmei was just a shopkeeper at home and did nothing. I have never seen such a mother.

Zheng Xinyue looked at her mother with relief. Fortunately, she had such a good mother. Otherwise, like Wu Chunmei, she would have become a little maid and still be pampered by the whole family?

"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, hurry up and cook. What are you doing standing around? Are you still waiting for Xinyue to serve you?"

Zheng Xinyue had just finished thinking about her mother's good things. Over there, Gao Guilan shouted orders to her two daughters-in-law. She grinned. Her mother's good things were divided into different categories.

 “Dad, where is the third brother?”

Zheng Xinyue looked around and saw no sign of her third brother. Logically speaking, it was her third brother who loved her the most. He couldn't be here, right?

“Your third brother has come to find you.”

It turns out that Zheng Chengbao heard that his sister was ill and went to the hospital right after work at noon, so he stopped working in the afternoon and ran to the city to find his mother and Xinyue. He has not come back yet.

"He didn't find you? Where did he go?"

Zheng Chenglong stopped and asked worriedly, "The third brother has a hot personality, so why don't he start a fight with people from the city?"

"We came back from the hospital and went directly to see your grandma. Maybe we got sidetracked. Can a young man be left alone?"

Gao Guilan waved her hand indifferently and stopped her eldest son from talking, which made Xinyue worried.

“We have distinguished guests tonight. I will take out the roe deer meat and put it on some big cakes.”

Gao Guilan ordered his two daughters-in-law not to make wild vegetable porridge.

Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli looked at each other. They were hungry at noon and their stomachs were shaking in the evening. They drank porridge and woke up in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, a guest saved them.

 What about after you are full after this meal? The father-in-law said that the autumn harvest could not be shared. Thinking about the days when they would starve, the light in their eyes dimmed. It was better to live frugally now to avoid starving to death later.

 But how can I dare to say this? My mother-in-law said she was treating guests, and the guests must be very important.

“You’ve already gone inside, why are you poking around outside?”

Gao Guilan saw Zheng Dakui frowning and looking into the basket, fearing that he would ask questions, so she drove her sons, daughters, and grandchildren into the house like ducks.

 “Why so much food?”

Zheng Dakui had already opened his backpack. After seeing the grain and flower cloth, he frowned and asked his wife.

Zheng Dakui is a man of integrity. His mother-in-law's family's life is better than his own, but how can he always fight against the autumn wind when his married daughter throws water away?

 “If I don’t go back to my parents’ house to ask for food, will I watch my children prepare to starve to death?”

Gao Guilan picked up the backpack and said angrily, does it matter whether you have a face or a belly these days?

She is a good man in every aspect, but she is too demanding and has a bad backbone. She would rather go hungry than ask for anything.

 “Not allowed in the future.”

When Zheng Dakui saw that his wife still dared to be rude, he immediately frowned and ordered her to return to her parents' house in rags. Isn't this a slap in the face? He, Zheng Dakui, can't afford to let his wife live a good life?
