Chapter 51: She Never Does Anything Superficially
Song Chu had long thought about changing the jobs for the Old Masters.
“The job of cutting pigweed that I’m doing now was originally yours. Logically speaking, now that your leg has healed, you should be doing it.”
“Now I’m going to apply to the team to transfer you to the oil pressing workshop as a technician, and let the old people from the cowshed do the job of cutting pigweed.”
“This is much easier than carrying manure and other things. Several people just need to cut some pigweed together on the front slope every day, and they won’t have to interact with too many people.”
She turned to look at Gu Yue, “If you want to find an opportunity to spend time with them, then you can continue to do the job of feeding the cows.”
“Will the villagers agree?” Gu Yue thought for a moment and asked.
Song Chu smiled, “I will ask my Eldest Maternal Uncle to rearrange the people carrying manure. At that time, I will give three bags of sugar from the oil pressing workshop as a reward every month. I guarantee that people will be fighting to do it, don’t worry.”
Gu Yue raised his head to look at Song Chu, a sincere smile appearing in his beautiful eyes, “Thank you very much.”
His grandfather had seemed strong these past two years, but he had fallen ill several times. If it hadn’t been for Old Lu, who happened to be a doctor, being in the cowshed, he was afraid he wouldn’t have made it to now.
The work of carrying manure was still quite heavy. Although the old people took turns, their bodies were actually already a little overwhelmed. He used to go and help secretly when he had time. Now, being able to reduce their workload was the best thing.
“You’re welcome. As long as you, as a technician, put more effort into your work in the future, it will be considered as repaying me.” Song Chu smiled and waved her hand.
In addition to the chick incubator, she felt that she might often trouble Gu Yue to help her make things in the future.
Gu Yue knew what she was thinking at a glance. This woman wanted to use him like a donkey.
He laughed, “So you’re just dangling a carrot in front of me.”
Song Chu lazily asked, “Then do you want to eat the carrot?”
“Yes.” As long as it could make things easier for his grandfather and the other Old Masters, he was willing to be exploited by Song Chu.
Song Chu stood up, smiled, and patted his shoulder, “Gu, the Academic God, you have a bright future. I believe in you!”
“Thank you.” Gu Yue smiled helplessly and in a bad mood.
Song Chu didn’t stay long today and carried the basket back home.
At this time, the family was just about to go out to gossip in the village, and they wouldn’t come back until it was dark.
Song Chu glanced at Song Eldest Sister-in-Law, who seemed as if nothing had happened before, and said to Tang Feng with a smile, “Mom, Song Eldest Sister-in-Law came to me just now and asked me to arrange for her younger sister to work in the oil pressing workshop.”
“I didn’t agree, and then she said that I was even more gluttonous and lazy than her younger sister, and so on. She just wants to drag our family down, and she only thinks about her maternal family.”
Seeing Song Eldest Sister-in-Law’s face change, Song Chu found it funny in her heart. She must have thought she was just scaring her before, but unfortunately, she never did anything superficially.
“So I was thinking, maybe we should let Eldest Brother send Song Eldest Sister-in-Law back to her parents’ home tomorrow, so she can contribute to her maternal family, so she won’t always be thinking about it. People who don’t know might think that our family is mistreating her,” she added.
Song Lao Si immediately glared at Song Eldest Sister-in-Law, “Song Eldest Sister-in-Law, how can you drag our family down? Do you just hate to see our family do well? You’re too much. Send her away, let Eldest Brother send her away tomorrow.”
Song Lao Er also wouldn’t stand for it. Recently, their family had finally been able to live a life with meat and sugar thanks to Little Sister. They absolutely couldn’t have a pig teammate in the family.
“Yes, send her away.” He also looked at the stunned Song Jianjun with contempt, “Eldest Brother, I’m not criticizing you, but a wife like this needs a lesson. Why are you afraid of her? If she doesn’t listen, just slap her and she’ll listen.”
Song Chu, hearing his nonsense, pushed him, “What are you talking about? Don’t teach Eldest Brother to hit people. Do you want to be beaten again?”
Song Eldest Sister-in-Law was not likable and had problems, but she could be taught a lesson in other ways. She did not support men hitting women, and their family would not allow such a thing to happen.
◈◈◈
Song Lao Er was now really a little afraid of this tigress of a sister, and he smiled, “Isn’t Eldest Brother too cowardly?”
While Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si were talking, Tang Feng had already run to the courtyard to get the broom, and then she waved it at Song Eldest Sister-in-Law.
“You troublemaker, our family is finally starting to live a better life because of my Yaobao, and you’re not happy about it. Why are you so troublesome?”
“I shouldn’t have agreed to let that fool, Eldest, marry you, you troublemaker.”
Her broom landed on Song Eldest Sister-in-Law, making her scream and dodge towards Song Jianjun.
Song Jianjun was a man who doted on his wife, but he didn’t dare to disobey his mother, so he could only block her, and then the broom landed on him.
“Mom, don’t hit her.”
Tang Feng’s broom fell with force, “This troublemaking, good-for-nothing woman was spoiled by you, you fool. I’ll teach you both a lesson today.”
So Song Jianjun was beaten by his mother.
Song Chu just watched. This kind of force wouldn’t hurt anyone. Her Eldest Brother was indeed too henpecked, and this needed to be changed.
Although her mother was a shrew in their family, to be honest, she just liked to curse, but she wouldn’t usually torture her daughter-in-law like an evil mother-in-law. She treated her grandsons and granddaughters basically the same, not caring much but not letting them starve either.
Just like now, although her mother gave Song Eldest Sister-in-Law a few sweeps with the broom, it was mainly to scare her, not to really do anything to her. The main point was to vent her anger on her Eldest Brother.
“Mom, stop hitting, I was wrong, okay?” Song Eldest Sister-in-Law, hiding behind Song Jianjun, felt sorry for her man. Although she was not convinced in her heart, she begged for mercy.
Tang Feng snorted coldly, “You’re full of schemes. You say you’re wrong, but you’re probably cursing me and my Yaobao in your heart.”
She gave Song Jianjun a few more sweeps with the broom, then stopped and said with her hands on her hips, “Tomorrow, send this troublemaker back to her parents’ home.”
Song Jianjun was a little dumbfounded, “Ah, really send her back?”
Wasn’t the beating enough?
Seeing his appearance, Tang Feng’s anger rose again. How could she, such a smart person, give birth to such a stupid son?
Her Yaobao was so smart, Song Lao Er, Song Lao San, and Song Lao Si were not too stupid, but Song Jianjun was simply an eyesore.
He was so stupid, he definitely didn’t inherit it from her, it must be from that Old Man.
Song Youfu, who was watching the show, couldn’t help but sneeze a few times.
Tang Feng threw the broom away and decided, “Send her back so she can clear her head, so she won’t be so ungrateful and drag our family down.”
This time, even Song Youfu, who usually didn’t like to interfere in family matters, spoke up, “Eldest, your wife is really out of line. Send her back tomorrow.”
Their family’s reputation in the village used to be bad. Now, it was finally starting to turn around because of Yaobao’s competence. They absolutely couldn’t let a troublemaker drag them down.
“Yes, yes, send her back, send her back.” Song Erwa also clapped his hands and said.
Recently, all the candy and apples that Little Aunt gave them were confiscated by his mother, and they were probably given to his annoying cousins.
Song Eldest Sister-in-Law felt like she was going to faint. Even her son supported it. What kind of sin did she commit…
