Chapter 22: Little Aunt is Too Mighty!
Song Chu left with the oil and oil residue, together with Third Sister-in-law.
Both of them came riding bicycles. Song Chu tied the things to the back of her bike. “Third Sister-in-law, I’ll head back first.”
Third Sister-in-law Song got snake meat and oil today, and she found this little sister-in-law quite pleasing to the eye. “Our supply and marketing cooperative just received a new batch of cloth. Come with me, and I’ll get you some to make clothes.”
Anyway, in the past, the cloth for Little Aunt’s clothes was basically bought from their family. Instead of waiting for Old Lady to come and ask for it, she might as well take the initiative to buy it for Little Aunt today. It would also be a good deed, and her man would be even happier.
Song Chu also remembered the past. She smiled and said, “I still have enough clothes to wear. No need to buy more, thank you, Third Sister-in-law.”
“Then let’s go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I’ll buy you some biscuits to take back.” Third Sister-in-law Song felt that Little Aunt was really different now. In the past, she would have happily dragged her there. She didn’t insist on buying cloth and said with a smile.
Taking the initiative to buy and being forced to buy, the feeling is different.
Song Chu found that her Third Sister-in-law was the kind of person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. No wonder she was completely controlled by Third Brother. “Let’s talk about it next time. I’ll go back first. You should go to work too.”
She naturally wouldn’t do things like taking advantage of people anymore. So after saying that, she waved at her Third Sister-in-law and rode away on her bike.
Third Sister-in-law Song looked at Little Aunt’s departing figure, a little dazed and in disbelief.
Was this really the Little Aunt she knew before, who was greedy, lazy, and shameless?
But no matter what, suddenly getting a reward and gratitude after always giving, she was still quite happy today.
She rode her bike home, divided the two large pieces of snake meat into four, kept one piece, and packed the other three pieces separately in bags to give to her parents, Eldest Brother, and Third Sister.
The three families were surprised when she delivered the snake meat. They couldn’t believe that it was sent by Song Jianye’s shameless sister.
Although their views hadn’t completely changed, they felt a lot more comfortable.
Nowadays, it’s not easy to get meat in the city. Guo Chun’s Eldest Brother, Second Eldest Brother, and Third Sister’s families had a good meal of snake meat that night, and the whole family was very happy.
They also found Song Jianye, the ingrate who only knew how to take advantage of his wife’s family to subsidize his own family, a little more pleasing to the eye.
On the way back, Song Chu first stored the things on her bicycle in the laboratory. When she was near the entrance of the village and no one was around, she took them out again.
The laboratory can be used as a storage space, which is really convenient.
When she returned home, it was just the time when the villagers were getting off work. Some people saw that she had two large bags tied to the back of her bike and a large back basket on her back, which seemed to be full of things. They looked over curiously.
If it were someone else, the gossipy women would definitely go up and ask what was in the bags.
But for the female village bully who had just killed a large snake, they still held back.
Thinking of Tang Feng going to work today, constantly praising Song Chu, this daughter, for being capable and filial, not forgetting to honor her two uncles, third brother, and uncles after killing a snake, they couldn’t help but feel envious and jealous.
Why didn’t they have such a strong child in their family?
Not only did Tang Feng praise her, but today even Song Chu’s aunts and maternal aunts were praising her. Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, was Song Chu still the lazybones who only liked to take advantage of others?
Don’t mention it, they looked at Song Chu, who had a faint smile on her face and was riding her bike with youthful vigor, and felt that she was really different.
The unmarried male comrades in the village stared straight at her, but they didn’t dare to go up and strike up a conversation.
When Song Chu got home, her family had already returned.
Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si immediately surrounded her.
“Little Sister, what did you bring back from the city?” Song Lao Er asked with a smile first.
In the past, every time Little Sister went to the city, she would always get the Third Brother’s family to buy delicious food from the supply and marketing cooperative and bring it back.
Song Chu knew what he was thinking and gave him a look. “Third Sister-in-law said she would buy me biscuits, but I refused.”
Song Lao Er’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Sister, are you stupid?”
He even wanted to reach out and touch Song Chu’s forehead to see if she had a fever, but Song Chu slapped his hand away.
“Don’t always think about taking advantage of Third Brother’s family, or his in-laws won’t be happy.” Song Chu felt that if it weren’t for her Third Sister-in-law being a love-struck fool, always giving to her Third Brother, the Guo family would never have agreed to this marriage.
◈◈◈
Now they can’t drag Third Brother down and make the Guo family look down on him.
“Who cares if they’re happy or not? Only a fool wouldn’t take advantage of it,” Song Lao Er said disapprovingly.
Song Chu raised her eyebrows and flexed her knuckles. “Are you itching for a beating?”
“…” Song Lao Er shrank his neck, thinking of his sister’s great strength. In other families, it’s the brother who beats the sister, but in their family, it’s going to be the sister who beats the brother. It’s so unfair.
The problem is, he didn’t dare to complain, or he would get another beating from his mother.
“Alright, alright, if you don’t want to take advantage, then don’t. Just don’t hit me.” He gave in.
Song Chu gave him a look that said, “That’s more like it,” and didn’t hit him.
Song Lao Si also came over and saw the oil bottles in the back basket. “Sister, where did you get so much oil?”
Song Chu explained about discovering the tea oil in the back mountain and taking the fruit to Guo’s Second Eldest Brother to help press it into oil.
“I told you before that I had something good for you to sell. It’s this tea oil.”
She paused and continued, “Keep one bottle for the family. I’ll send a bottle to Eldest Maternal Uncle’s house, a bottle each to Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Second Maternal Uncle, and Third Maternal Uncle, and a bottle to the cowshed. You can do whatever you want with the rest.”
There were a total of seventeen bottles. Adding the ones for Third Sister-in-law’s siblings, a total of nine bottles were sent out. Her Fourth Brother could still take eight bottles out to sell.
Before Song Lao Si could speak, Song Lao Er started shouting again, “Sister, are you really okay? Why do you have to give so many away?”
Wouldn’t it be better to keep one bottle for the family and sell all the rest?
Song Chu walked over and gave her Second Brother a beating without hesitation. “How many times have I told you not to think about taking advantage of others? Why don’t you listen?”
“Ahhh, Mom, Dad, Song Chu is going to kill me!” Song Lao Er hugged his head and squatted down, his back and shoulders aching from Song Chu’s slaps. He couldn’t help but cry out.
Not only did Tang Feng not help him, but she also added fuel to the fire. “You deserve it. You need to be taught a lesson. Yaobao, hit him harder.”
In the past, Song Youfu would have felt sorry for his son. But his daughter was going to give oil to his two older brothers’ families. Thinking of how he was praised by his brothers yesterday for sending the snake, he was very happy.
In the past, the Old Lady was in charge of the family, and he didn’t dare to give anything to his two older brothers. Now that his daughter was doing this, he couldn’t be more supportive.
Just thinking about the expressions on his two sisters-in-law’s faces when he delivered the oil made him feel a little smug. He felt a sense of liberation, like a serf turning into a landlord.
At this moment, he also found his son an eyesore. “This brat deserves a beating. Yaobao, go ahead and hit him.”
“…” Song Lao Er howled while wondering if he was their biological child.
“Still thinking about taking advantage of others? Only taking and not giving? Did you get it wrong?” Song Chu asked, pulling his ear.
If she wanted to change the whole family, she couldn’t have anyone dragging her down. Song Lao Er’s situation was particularly serious.
Song Lao Er was upset, but he had to submit to his sister’s tyranny. “I was wrong. I won’t take advantage anymore. You can give it away as you please.”
Seeing Song Lao Er’s aggrieved and beaten appearance, Song’s Second Sister-in-law not only didn’t feel sorry for him but also felt a strange sense of relief.
Song Sanniu also felt relieved seeing her father being beaten. He was usually not good to them, mother and daughter.
She looked at Song Chu with stars of admiration in her eyes. Little Aunt is too mighty!
