“You little wh*re with sores on your head and pus on your feet, you don’t work in broad daylight. Are you waiting for me, an old woman, to serve you two b*tches who were struck by lightning? Do you really think I can’t cure you?”
In the Xie family’s yard, a short woman stood in front of a dilapidated wooden door, with her hands on her hips, pointing at the door and cursing.
It was early in the morning and during the slack season for farmers. Many members of the Xie family were still asleep when they were awakened by the incessant quarrels and scolding.
“What is Mother doing?”
Xie Changgeng woke up in a daze. He pushed his wife, who was sleeping next to him, and asked her with a little annoyance.
The village had just experienced the autumn harvest not long ago, so everyone hadn’t had a full night’s sleep for a long time. As a result, his mother was yelling and cursing in the yard early in the morning.
Not only did they not sleep well, but if they disturbed the neighbors nearby, they might also attract resentment.
“What else could it be? It’s probably because the Third Sister-in-law was lazy and didn’t get up to cook or wash clothes.”
Xie Changgeng’s wife, Zhang Xiaojuan, muttered.
She was no longer sleepy at this time. She said again, “You continue to sleep for a while. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Zhang Xiaojuan thought of what happened yesterday. Her eyes rolled around. She was in the mood to watch a good show. She didn’t plan to sleep anymore and quickly put on her clothes, planning to go to the yard to watch a good show.
“This Third Sister-in-law is really something. She is weak and can’t earn much. Mom pities her and only asks her to help us wash clothes and cook. Didn’t Sanya accidentally hit her head yesterday? Which child in the village didn’t bump into things like this? Only her daughter was so precious. She only broke some skin and bled a little, but it was like she was going to die. Today, she simply didn’t cook for us.”
Zhang Xiaojuan kept talking.
Her eyes were more interested in watching the fun. She wanted to see what trouble her Third Sister-in-law, who used to be like a little white rabbit, could cause this time.
“You can’t say that. The Third Brother is serving in the army outside, and the Third Brother’s wife has only one daughter, Sanya. She should be more valued. This matter is also the fault of the younger sister. Why did she let Sanya pick thorns? She caused Sanya to roll down the hillside.”
Xie Changgeng is not as thick-skinned as his wife. He can’t say that his Third Brother’s wife does nothing and eats for free at home because he knows in his heart that the Third Brother’s family is the one who suffers the most in this family.
This was not only clear to him, but also recognized by the Eighth Production Brigade of their Red Star Commune.
Xie Zhuzi, the head of the Xie family, followed his parents to migrate to the local area in his early years to escape the war. He married Miao Fengmei, a girl from the local prominent Miao family, and was able to gain a foothold in the local area.
Therefore, after marriage, Xie Zhuzi, the head of the family, had little say. The real head of the family has always been the fierce Miao Fengmei.
Over the years, the couple has had three sons and one daughter.
The eldest, Xie Changgeng, married Zhang Xiaojuan and had two sons.
His oldest son, Xie Hongjun, is fifteen years old this year. As the eldest grandson, he is the most valued by the two elders of the Xie family. He is now studying in the county.
His second son, Xie Yongjun, was conceived by the couple after many years. He is only six years old this year and is the treasure of the couple.
The second, Xie Changli, married Liu Landi, a girl from the Seventh Brigade next door.
Their first child was a daughter, named Xie Cao, who is fourteen years old this year. Their second child was also a daughter, named Xie Hua, who is eleven years old this year.
Liu Landi’s biological mother also had a hard time trying to have a son. After giving birth to Liu Landi and her six sisters, she finally gave birth to a big fat boy for the Liu family.
Therefore, living in such an environment, Liu Landi felt that only grandchildren with a penis were the most precious in the world, while girls were cheap.
So, she either beat or scolded her two daughters. She wanted to have a son to gain a firm foothold in the Xie family.
For the third time, Liu Landi finally gave birth to a son, Xie Aijun, who is eight years old this year.
Since giving birth to her son, Liu Landi has changed her previous timid and hardworking personality. She often uses the excuse of being unwell to stay at home and pushes the work that should have belonged to her to her two underage daughters.
