FSC [QT] Chapter 82.1

Arc 4: Raising Babies In 60s (43)

Advertisement

“Uncle Captain, don’t listen to Jin Qiaoqiao’s nonsense. It’s not what she said. The reason I hit her was because she called my kids thieves and said that they would be shot when they grow up.”

“Do you think I, as a mother, can listen to such words? Besides, she didn’t suffer any loss. Eldest Sister-in-law and I were scratched by her several times.”

The production captain and some respected elders in the village gathered at Zhang’s house to settle this farce. After all, they could not let this matter deteriorate further and develop into a conflict between several production teams.

These days, Miao Guo and others had been enduring the pointing of the villagers, but she also felt wronged. Didn’t she just eat some cakes that Jin Qiaoqiao brought home?

She said that her uncle asked her to give it to her family, but who knew whether what she said was true or false?

In her opinion, these things were bought by Jin Qiaoqiao with Zhang Youdong’s subsidy. How could she, a hen that didn’t lay eggs, be qualified to eat these good things?

“Woo, woo, woo…”

Jin Qiaoqiao, who was standing by, wiped her eyes and sobbed softly.

“When did I ever say those kids were thieves? I was just angry that you took the things my Uncle asked me to take home. I knocked on the door a little harder, but you and the Eldest Sister-in-law rushed out to beat me, saying that I, an outsider, had no right to eat the things of your Zhang family.”

“You threatened me to be honest, saying that if I didn’t give birth to a child for Youdong, everything of Youdong would belong to you in the future.”

Jin Qiaoqiao pinched herself secretly, and her tears flowed even more violently.

“Nonsense!”

Miao Guo’s face changed. What Jin Qiaoqiao said was indeed her and her sister-in-law’s true thoughts, but who made Jin Qiaoqiao marry into the Zhang family for six or seven years without giving birth to a child?

Looking at the Fourth Brother-in-law who had no child and could earn money, how could they not think too much?

“Also, the Eldest and Second sisters-in-law said that I beat you two. Where did I hurt you? Maybe I did accidentally hurt you because I resisted when you beat me up before, but how many wounds can you have? Why don’t you show it to everyone?”

Jin Qiaoqiao continued to chase her.

Miao Guo’s face turned red with anger. Most of the wounds on her and Eldest Sister-in-law were on the chest and thighs. There were so many uncles at the scene. If they showed their wounds to them, wouldn’t they jump into the river to prove their innocence?

Even if they didn’t show them to these uncles, should they ask a few aunts to go into the house to check? Such private parts would make people feel embarrassed.

Maybe Jin Qiaoqiao would blame them and say that these marks were caused by them and their men when they were messing around on the kang. That would be really embarrassing.

Miao Guo and Fu Dani were so angry that their eyes turned red, but they had no way to prove their innocence.

In the eyes of others, this scene would appear to be a lie between the two of them, and Jin Qiaoqiao was indeed badly bullied by the Zhang family.

“Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu are not married, so the allowance that Youdong sent home over the years is basically all in Mom’s hands. As a daughter-in-law married into the Zhang family, I can’t say anything. After all, Youdong is the most promising, and it is his duty to help his younger brother and sister.”

“But I really can’t stand it, Uncles and Aunts present. They enjoy the benefits brought by Youdong while treating us as outsiders. When Youdong is not at home, they team up to abuse me. I can’t live like this. Either we separate or let Youdong divorce me.”

Divorce was impossible. Jin Qiaoqiao knew clearly how difficult it was for soldiers to divorce. If Zhang Youdong divorced her because of this, he would never be promoted in the future.

“Qiaoqiao, it’s not you who did anything wrong, so how can you talk about divorce? Besides, military marriage is protected. If your Eldest and Second sisters-in-law dare to abuse you like this, you should sue them, let them be criticized, and live in the cowshed.”

Jin Qiaoqiao’s mother said angrily. She heard her daughter say that military marriage was protected by accident.

“What? I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Miao Guo and Fu Dani were both women who were domineering at home. The reason they bullied Jin Qiaoqiao was that they were afraid that Jin Qiaoqiao’s husband would be too successful and would bully them in the future.

At this moment, Jin Qiaoqiao’s mother said that there would be punishment for destroying military marriages, which immediately scared the two of them.

“The wives of Eldest Zhang and Second Zhang are really a bit unbecoming. How can they take the things of their brother-in-law’s wife’s family without consent, share them, and beat their brother-in-law’s wife afterward?”

“That’s right. This is not the old society anymore. Is it still popular to squeeze honest sons and daughters-in-law to raise other children? The Zhang family has withheld Fourth Zhang’s allowance for so many years. They should have raised enough money for the wedding of the twins. This family should be divided.”

Several elders spoke up and set the tone for the outcome of the matter.

Old Mrs. Zhang watched the situation develop with a sullen face, secretly cursing the wives of the eldest and second sons for not living up to their expectations. However, she could only watch Jin Qiaoqiao gain the upper hand.

She wanted to expose Jin Qiaoqiao’s true face, but she knew in her heart that now was not the time to make a fuss about this matter because she had no evidence. Besides, there was no benefit except to embarrass the Zhang family and her son.

Moreover, although she cursed Kuang Aijun without scruples in private, she did not dare to target Kuang Aijun in public. Because she knew that Kuang Aijun, as a soldier, was not someone she could offend.

Moreover, even if Old Mrs. Zhang hated Kuang Aijun, she could not say that Kuang Aijun was definitely innocent in this matter. Compared with the two of them being in love, Old Mrs. Zhang was more willing to believe that it was Jin Qiaoqiao who was just too enthusiastic.

But Old Mrs. Zhang still felt a little uncomfortable about the separation of the family, as it was too easy for Jin Qiaoqiao.
