Chapter 46: Lin Sanzhu Had A Fight
It was two adults against a child. Lin Sanzhu was afraid of her mother-in-law, but she wasn’t afraid of her older brother and sister-in-law.
She immediately ran over, grabbed Mrs. Su-Jin's hand, and said angrily, "Sister-in-law! Don't go overboard. It’s bad enough that you always bully me, but now you’re even beating my daughter!"
"Don't assume that I don't know you stole the eggs in Mom’s room. I never told Mom about that."
"Nonsense, I didn't steal them!"
When Mrs. Su-Jin heard Lin Sanzhu mention that she stole eggs, she couldn't care less about Su Tao anymore. She grabbed Lin Sanzhu brusquely, and said, "Don’t make yourself sound so noble. You stole meat every time!"
"You stole meat too. If Mom wasn’t biased, I wouldn’t have stolen meat! Why could your family have two pieces of meat, while we could only have a piece of meat?" Lin Sanzhu grew up doing manual labor. She carried water and chopped firewood back in her maiden family.
Naturally, Mrs. Su-Jin, who was lazy at work, was no match for her. The two rolled on the ground and started fighting, with Lin Sanzhu on top.
Su Tao took the opportunity to help grab Mrs. Su-Jin. She also looked at Mrs. Su-Qian from the corner of her eye. When she saw Mrs. Su-Qian running over, she grabbed the mud on the ground and hit her with it.
There was no shortage of mud on the ground, so she hit Mrs. Su-Qian several times.
It couldn’t kill anyone anyway.
Mrs. Su-Qian flew into a rage. She cursed while spitting the mud out, "You loser! I'm going to kill you now!!"
Throwing caution to the wind, she ran toward Su Tao. Su Tao ran away quickly, but suddenly heard Su Zhi's anxious voice. "Sister, run."
She turned around and almost died of anger. That fool, Su Zhi, ran out of nowhere and tried to stop Mrs. Su-Qian by hugging her leg.
How could he possibly stop Mrs. Su-Qian? He would only end up being beaten!
Su Tao gritted her teeth, and finally ran back. She gripped Mrs. Su-Qian's hand so that Mrs. Su-Qian could not do anything. Then, she said with difficulty, "Su Zhi, bite her. Bite her hard, and I'll give you candy afterwards."
"Bite her more."
If he wasn’t enticed with candy, Su Zhi might not have dared to bite Mrs. Su-Qian. But when he heard that he could have candy, he bit Mrs. Su Qian's leg hard.
He wanted candy.
Mrs. Su-Qian screamed in pain, but couldn't shake Su Tao off.
Next to them, Su Fu saw Su He pulling his wife, so he got angry and punched Su He. Su He was stunned for a moment, then bellowed, "Su Fu, how dare you hit me?" After that, he punched Su Fu back.
Su Fu dodged, grabbed his hand and pressed it down with his hand. His face was already red. "You pulled Sanzhu first! Brother, you shouldn't interfere in women's affairs!"
For a moment, there was chaos on the Su family’s fields. The commotion attracted people to watch.
"Oh my, the Su family is fighting! What's going on?"
"I don't know. Just now, I saw Old Mrs. Su give her second daughter-in-law two slaps when she came here. She also scolded her very unpleasantly."
"Old Mrs. Su has gone overboard."
"Yeah, she hits her younger son’s family all day long. She’s still doing it now that they've split and moved out. It was only a matter of time before they got into a fight."
"Look, that girl Su Tao has gone crazy. Her mouth is wide open as if she wants to eat people."
It was a good thing Su Tao didn't hear it, otherwise she would have retorted. She was exerting her strength at this moment, she wasn't crazy!
After a while, the village chief Guo Tie came and asked people to separate them. He said with a headache, "The Su family, what are you doing? Your family is always beating and scolding people. When can you work hard like the other families?"
"You used to quarrel because your families weren’t separated, but now you still fight when your families have been separated."
Mrs. Su-Qian spat at him. "Village Chief, it's these heartless people. They don't observe filial piety. I think they should all be drowned."
Su Fu and Lin Sanzhu didn't say anything, and Su Tao didn't expect them to say anything. She said aggrievedly, "Village Chief, Grandma beat us, and it hurt so much. My mom's face is swollen, and there are many marks on my body."
"There are marks on my brother too." After saying that, she grabbed Su Zhi's arm. The marks were from the previous beating, but they weren’t gone yet, and had become bruises.
An old man who was watching couldn't help but say, "The Su family, you were indeed in the wrong. Your eldest son is your son, but so is your younger son. Your grandchildren are also biological ones. People say it’s blessed to have many children and grandchildren. You’re throwing your good luck away by what you’re doing."
Su Dagui's face turned red, but he couldn't talk back to his elders. Thus, he could only look at Mrs. Su-Qian and snapped, "Why are you always causing so much trouble? Get back to work. Don't even think about going back until you finish the work!"
The originally aggressive Old Mrs. Su became meek. She glared at Su Tao. "Wretched girl, just you wait!" After saying that, she turned around, picked up a hoe, and got back to work.
Su Tao shrank her neck and hid behind Su Fu, looking very scared. "Dad, I'm scared."
Su Fu felt a little guilty when he heard that. It was all because he was useless. He touched her head, and whispered, "Dad will protect you."
If Mom hit his wife and children next time, he wouldn't hesitate. He couldn't let his wife and children be beaten all the time.
The village chief frowned, but he couldn’t say anything. After all, it was their family affair. "We all value harmony. Be it in a family or in the village, we can only progress by helping each other."
"We have to hand over food to the Xie family soon. You should hurry and get ready. Don't say that you don’t have enough food when the time comes. The Xie family is kind. We don't want to do those unkind things."
Everyone nodded. A woman in colorful clothes said, "Village Chief, we all know that. We’ll definitely hand over the food in full."
The village chief said nothing and signaled for them to disperse. Su Fu and his family returned to their own fields.
Su Fu looked at his wife and daughter's messy hair. He pursed his lips and said, "Dear, you go back and have a rest. I'll do the work."
"It's nothing. Not much work is left. Let's go home together after we’re done."
Lin Sanzhu didn't suffer any loss. She tidied her hair, then looked at Su Tao and Su Zhi, before quickly looking at Su Zhi again. "Where's your brother?"
Su Zhi was startled, and quickly ran to a tree. Su Dou was still there, looking at him. Lin Sanzhu, who had followed him, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Take good care of him here."
After a while, Su Zhi went to fetch water. Lin Sanzhu stood next to Su Tao and scolded in a low voice, "Wretched girl, how dare you hit your grandma! Weren't you afraid that your father would be oversensitive?"
"Your father is an honest man."
Su Tao already knew that. She dropped the weeds in her hands and blinked. "Mom, you have to coax Dad tonight."
Lin Sanzhu was stunned for a moment, then she blushed. She raised her hand and pinched Su Tao. She scolded softly, "Wretched girl, where did you learn that?"
Su Tao yelped in pain, and rubbed her arm. "Mom, can you stop hitting me? It hurts so much."
"Who told you to learn nonsense? Aren’t you ashamed as a girl?"
Lin Sanzhu reached out and tapped her forehead, and then said, "If you dare to fool around with a boy, I'll beat you to death!"
A few years ago, the children from two families fooled around together, and the girl was almost drowned in the pond.
She quickly added, "After a few years, marry an honest guy, okay?"
Marry?
Su Tao didn't plan to get married in this hellish place. She wanted to go home.
After the Su family settled down, and the cold winter was over, she would concentrate on "attacking" Milksop.
At the thought of the stubborn Milksop who couldn’t be persuaded, Su Tao felt a headache coming.
