Chapter 3: Old lady loses her temper

Translator: Alyssa

Editor: Sei

As soon as the old lady came in, she cursed, “This whole village doesn’t have the old bones of my life, and I have to serve such a big family to eat. The younger ones still learn to be lazy and not work.”

Xu Nannan refrained from rolling her eyes.

It’s not that family members don’t want to cook, even someone like Zhang Cuiqin definitely wants to cook, but she is not qualified. The food at home is in the hands of the old lady. The granary at home is the old lady’s room, and all the food distributed must be put in her room, and no one can move. Of course, cooking, which is easy to steal, will not fall into the hands of other people.

Everyone is used to the old lady’s complaining words. It seems that if she doesn’t say a few words every day, it can’t reflect the sacrifice she made for this family.

In fact, at the age of an old lady, many people still work in the fields, earning work points for their families. But the Old Xu family is different. The two elders are in their fifties and have begun to retire. Grandpa Xu will go when he is free, and he will not go when he is not free. Grandma Xu will not go at all.

Although everyone knows this truth, no one dared to say that she was not good, or she was not filial and tortured her. If the old lady went to the cadres to make a fuss, they would not be able to eat.

The old lady finished scolding, and finally began to divide the food.

A large spoon was caught in the basin. For the two sons, they fished inside, and for the daughter-in-law, she fished in the middle. When they got to Xu Nannan’s side, they fished a spoon directly on it. The rice grains can be counted clearly if the weight is small. Obviously the old lady is still remembering what happened in the morning.

Xu Nannan was not happy anymore. Although she has Taobao, she can’t just work and not eat. “Grandmother, what should I do if I’m hungry and faint?”

When Grandma Xu heard it, she threw the soup ladle into the basin with her face full of anger, “I don’t think I can eat much lesser than you, how much do you want to eat? Adults work more, eat more, how much work do you do in a day?”

The old lady wanted to press her mouth, but Xu Nannan didn’t hear it. She cocked her fingers to calculate, and then said loudly, “Grandmother, let me do it. I can earn three work points a day, one year less. Said it can be divided into seventy or eighty catties of grain. It is enough to eat.”

The old lady’s face flushed suddenly, “You, you’ve only been studying for a year, so you just put your score in front of me?”

“Erya, why did you talk to your Grandmother like that?” Second Uncle Xu Jianhai scolded.

Zhang Cuiqin fanned the flames and said, “That’s right, now there is less and less respect, no elders nor old people in her heart. She is angry with me in the morning, and talk back to my mother-in-law at noon. It will be really amazing in the future.”

The third uncle Xu Jianping also wanted to say something, but was pulled by his wife Liu Qiao, and he closed his mouth. Liu Qiao smiled and said, “Mom, the child is ignorant, just let her apologize for you. Let’s teach her well in the future.”

Grandma Xu was still very satisfied with this low-brow and pleasing daughter-in-law, so she just snorted and didn’t speak coldly when she heard her make a round.

Liu Qiao immediately said to Xu Nannan again, “Hurry up and apologize to your Grandmother.” She said and winked at Xu Nannan.

Xu Nannan asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, did I make a mistake? I have calculated it for a long time, that’s all. Why do you want me to apologize?”

“You, you child, really want to shake the sky. When your parents come back, I want to ask them how they taught you.”

Grandma Xu smashed the edge of the basin with a spoon angrily. The family dare not eat anymore, even Grandpa Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Nannan with a cold face, “You kid, why are you so naive and stubborn.”

Xu Nannan picked up the bowls and chopsticks, holding her own wowotou, and because she had less porridge, she also took one more. “Okay, I won’t eat with you anymore.”

After speaking, she took the bowl and went out.

Seeing that she was going to leave, Grandma Xu was so angry that she pointed at Xu Nannan, “Jianhai, Jianping, grab and beat her, beat her hard, or she will kill me. I don’t believe it, a female warrior. It’s growing up to turn us upside down.”

Damn, she still wanted to do it.

Xu Nannan turned around with anger, and she saw Xu Jianhai and Xu Jianping both standing up, as if they were about to do their hands with cold faces.

Xu Nannan immediately yelled, “You beat, beat hard, and people outside will know that you tortured your granddaughter to let your other grandchildren live a good life. It’s not the old society anymore. You will pay for her death. Can the old lady pay you back?”

When the two heard this, they both looked back at the old lady.

Now it is indeed impossible to kill people casually. If something goes wrong, even if you don’t go to jail, outsiders won’t know how to look at them in the future.

Old Mrs. Xu didn’t expect that her two sons would be stunned by a girl’s film. She blushed and had a thick neck. She stretched out her hand everywhere to find her crutches, preparing to go to battle herself.

Xu Nannan didn’t wait for her, and entered the house with something to eat. Then closed the door tightly. Regardless of the loud noise outside the door.

“Sister, what’s the matter, is Grandmother going to hit someone?” Xu Xiaoman said while lying on the bed.

Because of chronic malnutrition, her body is all soft now, and she has to feed Xu Xioman to even eat.

Xu Nannan smiled and put the bowls and chopsticks on the bed, helped her sit up, gave her a sip of porridge, and then tore the wow head to pieces and fed her, “You know the temper of grandma, she’s like a dog barking when she is fine. By howling, she doesn’t feel afraid.”

Xu Xiaoman’s face wrinkled, “If the grandma is upset, she will hit people and it will hurt.”

Xu Nannan felt a pain in her heart and touched her little face, “No, I will protect you in the future. I won’t let the grandma hit you. ” Compared to Xu Nannan, Xu Xiaoman was actually beaten more. Before Xu Xiaoman fell ill, she burned firewood for the old lady under the stove. She spent a lot of time with the old lady. She was more timid than Xu Nannan, and she was often beaten and scolded.

A nine-year-old child, although she grew up in an orphanage in her previous life, she has not been subjected to such abuse. She was still in school at that time.

By the way, it’s time for Xiaoman to go to school.

While feeding her something, she said, “Xiaoman, do you want to go to school?”

Xu Xiaoman nodded, then shook her head quickly.

Xu Nannan smiled, “Whether she shook her head or nodded, do you want to go?”

“I want to go, but grandma won’t let me. I can’t. We can’t fight with her, we will get beaten.”

Xu Nannan’s nose was sore. Xu Xiaoman is only nine years old, but in this little heart, the deepest memory is that grandma can beat people.

Cruel old lady!

Xu Nannan wanted to say vulgar words very much.

“It’s okay. Sister will earn money in the future, get you different foods, and let you go to school.” Xu Nannan felt that she had found another goal in life. It was to send Xu Xiaoman to school.

She let Xu Xiaoman finish eating before coaxing her to sleep. Xu Nannan carefully carried her on her back. She bought the easy-to-feast cakes at the Taobao store, and ate it with cold water.

Alas, If there really was a Taobao shop before, those who are fragrant and spicy will not worry about it in the future. Now I don’t even have to eat biscuits.

When she left, she stuffed another half of the pancake and put it in Xu Xiaoman’s bed. She told her to eat if she was hungry, and let no one else find it.

Xu Xiaoman seemed to want to ask something. She glanced at Xu Nannan, but still did not ask. She continued to lie down with her eyes closed.

Xu Nannan didn’t know how she would answer if Xu Xiaoman really asked. However, she wouldn’t say anything about Taobao. She can only know about this thing, even if she has the closest person in the future, she can’t say it.

After the meal, everyone went to work, Xu Nannan did not delay, and followed with the tools. Third aunt Liu Qiao deliberately walked behind and talked to her, “Erya, it’s not your aunt who said that, you really did something wrong this time. You are very naughty, and when you look back, your parents are back, and we have to tell your parents the situation again. It’s hard for your parents, so you have to think more for them. You are their relatives, if you don’t think about them, their lives will be even more sad. Don’t think your third aunts are talking too much, it’s your mother. She entrusted you and Siya to me, I can’t just watch you make a mistake.”

“Auntie Liu Qiao, you are right. My parents are really difficult. After all, you have to raise five children. See when you can pick up Sanya and Longlong. It can also relieve my parents. Sanya is also a teenager, and just came back to earn work points. ” Xu Nannan looked at Liu Qiao earnestly, with a look of approval.

Liu Qiao’s face became stiff, her smile became a bit awkward, and her mouth moved, as if she didn’t know how to respond, she simply reached out and touched Xu Nannan’s head and smiled, “If you’re kidding, tell me to laugh. Sanya and Longlong were in school, and they were delayed when they came back. Besides, this matter is decided by your grandmother, and I can’t be the master.”

Xu Nannan smiled, like a mirror in her heart, and didn’t say anything bad.

Although she has only been here for a few days, she still has a way of looking at people. These third aunt, Liu Qiao, looked after her and Xiao Man quite well, but in other words, she was pretty, and she never did anything in fact. Not as good as Aunt Song Guihua as an outsider.

Aunt Song Guihua secretly gave sister something to eat when she was short of food. As for this third aunt, she didn’t do anything except to please two sides.

Although she didn’t know Liu Qiao’s purpose for doing this, Xu Nannan didn’t want to tear her face apart with her. She had to live in this family and it was impossible for everyone to become enemies.

Of course, it is impossible for her to listen to Liu Qiao’s words.

It seems that because of her thoughts, Liu Qiao stopped talking to her, and avoided Xu Nannan when she was working.

Xu Nannan was eager to follow Song Guihua as soon as she got there. Song Guihua seemed to greet Xu Gensheng, the captain, and when Xu Gensheng arranged work later, he arranged the two together.

Zhang Cuiqin was not happy yet, and wanted to stare Xu Nannan under her eyelids. Xu Gensheng’s face was not happy anymore. He is the captain of the production team anyway, and the old Xu family can’t rely on the prestige of the old lady, so they ignored her. He can’t control other household affairs. When will it be someone else’s turn to dictate the matter of assigning work.

“Nan Nan will remove the grass with Song Guihua. She is a child, what kind of work can she do. Then she will be tired again. Isn’t it a waste of everyone’s effort? Zhang Cuiqin, if you make trouble again, I will write it down for you, and I will take it back. Negative work points.”

When Xu Jianhai heard it, he immediately came over and took Zhang Cuiqin, “What are you doing, going to work? What are you talking about?”

He said to Xu Gen, “She has a bad temperament, she’s not cold-hearted.”

Xu Gensheng raised his eyes and glanced at the couple twice, “Forget it, go to work as soon as possible, don’t delay our socialist construction work.”

This is a Big Hat.

TL note: Full of talk that is more impressive than that which one actually possesses or is able to do. He talks as though he knows more than anyone else, but he is a big hat, no cattle.

Xu Jianhai took Zhang Cuiqin with a reluctant face to work without saying a word.

“What are you doing with me? I haven’t finished it yet. Xu Gensheng is really capable. I think it’s great to be a captain.”

Zhang Cuiqin was full of dissatisfaction. In Xujiacun Village, she hasn’t been afraid of anyone yet. Whoever offends her, she goes to the old lady.

Xu Jianhai looked at his wife, feeling very upset, “You silly woman, what’s the point of making a fuss about you. You won’t be pleased to offend others. The eldest brother will be back in the next few days. It’s good for you to bully his girl. Our big girl and Leizi are still in the city.”

TL Note: That end of chapter 3
