Chapter 68: Serves Her Right for Being Sent Back to Her Maternal Home Before
After listening to Song Da Sao’s words, the people working were a little dumbfounded. They didn’t expect such big gossip.
If it were any other family, everyone would definitely start criticizing the younger sister for being unreasonable.
For example, Fang Yue Lan’s reputation in the village has recently gotten worse and worse. Everyone curses her when she is mentioned, and they also sympathize with Fang’s two older brothers’ wives for encountering such a younger sister with poor character.
Originally, families who had taken a liking to Fang Yue Lan also gave up the idea of marrying her.
Even people from other villages had heard about this matter. That’s why Song Da Sao’s younger sister-in-law came up with the same idea, letting her ruin Song Chu’s reputation.
But now that the target was Song Chu, the villagers, who were originally very good at gossiping and cursing, seemed to have become slow.
That was the female village bully who dared to take people to the back mountain to hunt snakes and wild boars. Who knows if they would be beaten up by the village bully if they followed Song Da Sao’s lead in cursing her.
And if Tang Feng heard about it, she would definitely come to their door and curse for a whole day.
One is fierce and the other is a shrew. They couldn’t afford to offend them!
Moreover, the villagers’ attitude towards Song Chu had changed a lot, besides their instinctive fear.
Every household still wanted to let their family members enter the breeding farm. If they followed Song Da Sao to curse Song Chu, what if their application was directly rejected?
They believed that the female village bully was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
Besides, they now see that Song Chu’s temper has improved a lot. She opened an oil pressing workshop and a breeding farm. She is also very capable and gave each of their households sugar. She doesn’t seem like such a bad person.
They didn’t know if Song Da Sao’s words were credible.
As the saying goes, “One is beholden to those who feed them.” Everyone in the village was counting on getting into the breeding farm. Even if they couldn’t get in now, they might have a chance in the future. Therefore, even the women who usually liked to gossip the most were silent at this moment.
After Song Da Sao finished speaking, she was still waiting for everyone to curse Song Chu together. Seeing that they were pretending not to hear, she was almost mad.
“Don’t you think she’s going too far?” She couldn’t help but bring it up again.
Tang Qing’s mother happened to be here. Her son had changed from a village hoodlum to an enviable worker in the oil pressing workshop, all thanks to Song Chu.
She felt that Song Chu was both beautiful and capable. Song Da Sao must be deliberately slandering her younger sister-in-law.
So she said, “I think Song Chu is pretty good. You’re spreading rumors, right? Which older brother’s wife would come out and slander her younger sister-in-law like this? Besides, who knows if you’ve added fuel to the fire.”
Another worker at the oil pressing workshop’s grandmother said, “That’s right. When you returned to your maternal home that day, I saw you carrying a lot of bags. It didn’t look like you were being chased back.”
“Did your family say something? Is that why you came back to make trouble for Song Chu?”
The villagers knew a little about Song Da Sao’s favoritism towards her maternal family.
Others also chimed in, and their words were more biased towards Song Chu.
But they didn’t criticize Song Da Sao too much. After all, it’s normal for an older brother’s wife and a younger sister-in-law to have conflicts.
Besides, everyone knew what kind of temper Song Chu had. It might be true that she was domineering at home. Many people still sympathized with Song Da Sao.
But sympathy is sympathy. They didn’t participate in cursing Song Chu.
“…” After hearing their words, Song Da Sao was completely stunned.
What’s going on? Why is it different from what she expected? Weren’t they supposed to curse Song Chu together? What’s wrong with these people?
Before she returned to her maternal home, didn’t everyone curse Fang Yue Lan so fiercely?
Song Chu is much worse than Fang Yue Lan. Are these people blind?
“Everything I said is true. If I hadn’t been bullied so badly, I wouldn’t have taken my son back to my maternal home.” She could only wipe away her tears and play the victim now.
She suddenly burst into tears again, “Why is my life so bitter!”
Her sad and pitiful crying made those who sympathized with her sympathize even more. Others also felt a little bad.
Could it be that Song Chu really bullied Song Da Sao badly in the Song family? Otherwise, why would she cry so miserably?
◈◈◈
If that’s the case, then she’s gone too far. After all, this is her eldest brother’s wife.
Song Lao Si rolled his eyes at his eldest sister-in-law’s white lotus act. In the family, besides his mother and younger sister, the eldest sister-in-law was the most domineering. She actually had the nerve to say that her life was bitter.
Remembering his younger sister’s previous instructions, he quickly walked over.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, at home, the housework is basically done by Second Sister-in-law. You are never lacking in food and drink. You are also allowed to often take things to subsidize your maternal family. Last time you secretly took oil and sugar from home to your maternal family, Mom and Little Sister saw it but didn’t say anything.”
“If someone like you has a bitter life, then there are probably no women with bitter lives in the village.”
Song Lao Si became more and more energetic as he spoke, “Eldest Sister-in-law, why did you return to your maternal home? Why don’t you tell everyone.”
“Originally, family scandals should not be aired in public, but since you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to tell everyone.”
“It’s because you insisted on putting your younger siblings in the oil pressing workshop to replace the villagers. Little Sister disagreed and you made a scene. That’s why Mom let you go back to your maternal home to reflect for a few days.”
“When you came back just now, I was also at home. Little Sister didn’t say a word about driving you away. How can you make up stories like that?”
“On the contrary, as soon as you arrived, you put on the airs of the eldest sister-in-law and insisted on forcing Little Sister to let your two younger brothers manage the breeding farm. You even used the saying ‘eldest sister-in-law is like a mother’ to pressure her, saying that good opportunities shouldn’t go to outsiders.”
“Little Sister said that the breeding farm was built for the villagers, to let the people of our village live a good life, and to prevent our village from being at the bottom of the commune’s annual evaluation every year. So she can’t use your younger brothers for personal gain.”
“But you didn’t listen and even threatened that if Little Sister didn’t agree, you would come out and make trouble.”
“Your two younger brothers haven’t even finished elementary school. What ability do they have to manage a breeding farm? Even the junior high school students in our village wouldn’t dare to say that.”
“Besides, the breeding farm only recruits ten people. If your two younger brothers come and take two places, and then they get promoted to management and bring in more people from other villages, wouldn’t our village’s breeding farm become your Xiaoba Village’s?”
Song Lao Si downplayed the family conflict and pointed out that Song Da Sao deliberately made up stories about Song Chu. He focused on the breeding farm, which was what Song Chu had taught him to do before he went out.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Lao Si said this, the faces of those listening to the gossip changed.
Those who originally sympathized with Song Da Sao also instantly dispelled this thought.
“Luo Qiuju, this is your fault. You wanted to put your younger brothers in charge of the breeding farm. Song Chu disagreed, and you actually ran out crying and said she bullied you. You’re deliberately framing her.”
“That’s right, Song Chu didn’t do anything wrong. Luo Qiuju, don’t forget that you’ve already married into our Xiaba Village. You actually have the nerve to say that you want your two younger brothers to manage the breeding farm.”
“And eldest sister-in-law is like a mother? Song Chu still has Tang Feng, her mother, alive. Where do you get off acting all high and mighty? Look at you.”
“I was wondering why you suddenly came back. So it was for the breeding farm. How can you be so shameless?”
“The breeding farm was opened by Song Chu for our Xiaba Village. Tell your maternal family not to remember it. I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.”
“That’s right. Our village doesn’t have a daughter-in-law like you who slanders her younger sister-in-law and her mother-in-law. Only Xiaoba Village can raise someone like you.”
“If you were in my family, you’d be sent back to your maternal home and never allowed to return.”
Everyone began to accuse and curse Song Da Sao in public.
Luo Qiuju is too shameless. She actually colluded with her maternal family to try to take over their village’s breeding farm. What a piece of work! Serves her right for being sent back to her maternal home before.
