The time-traveling lady is too fierce

Now in the main hall, all the members of the old Shi family are sitting at the dining table to eat, the men at one table and the women at another.

"Why didn't Dalang come to eat?" Old Man Shi asked hurriedly when he saw that Shi Dalang was no longer at the dining table.

"And why didn't Li come out today? She was the most active during dinner." Old man Shi was helpless these days. As an old man, he couldn't say anything bad about Li, but Li had been making a lot of trouble these past two days! I heard that she fell into the river yesterday. It was really embarrassing! He and his wife made a big mistake. Why did they marry such a woman? ! But there was no other way now. They could only train Li to be obedient little by little!

"Dad, don't you know our fifth brother? He has become a different person since he got married. He loves this lazy woman so much. He didn't even let her go out of the house even though she fell into the river. He even brought the breakfast into the house himself and ate it with his wife," said the eldest sister-in-law Li Meijuan sourly.

"Yes, Dad, we all want our fifth brother's wife to come out so that we can have a lively meal together, but she just lies on the bed and won't leave the house. I think our fifth brother is being controlled by his wife, and I'm afraid he won't listen to you anymore." The second daughter-in-law, Wang Xiangxiu, also said quickly that she couldn't miss this opportunity to complain. At the same time, she looked at her husband, Shi Qiulai. They were both men, but Shi Dalang was much more caring, unlike her husband, who didn't care about her at all.

"You bunch of old women just know how to talk nonsense to my fifth brother. He should love his wife more when he just got married. Why are you so old? You are still comparing yourself with a newly married young couple. You are really embarrassed." Shi Lao Da, Shi Donglai knows his father's temper best. His family depends on Shi Dalang for money. His son can go to school because of the money Shi Dalang earns from hunting. He can't offend Shi Dalang. Besides, his father has always favored Shi Dalang, so he has to be more careful. But he also knows in his heart that his father favors Shi Dalang because Shi Dalang can make money for his family. So he doesn't mind his father favoring Shi Dalang at all! Anyway, their family property will all belong to them in the future.

"Yeah, you old ladies have nothing to do all day long, just keep on complaining. Let's have a harmonious family in the future. We can't have quarrels all day long just because the fifth brother got married. These two days when I went out to work, there were always men from the same village saying that our family was noisy, and I didn't know what to do." Shi Qiulai is also smart. How could he not know what his eldest brother is thinking? Shi Xiwang, the son of his eldest brother, can study in the city, and his son Shi Xiyou is also studying in the city. Whether it is studying in a private school in the village or going to the city, it is a lot of money. Doesn't it all depend on Shi Dalang? So Shi Dalang is the God of Wealth in his family, and he can't offend him. This group of old ladies are fighting over those little housework all day long. It's said that old ladies are just long-haired and short-sighted, and they don't know anything.

"Dad, Mom, please don't be angry with us for such a trivial matter. The food is getting cold. Let's eat quickly. We will definitely pay attention in the future and won't be petty with fifth sister-in-law. Fifth sister-in-law just got married and is young. We will slowly teach her in the future. Besides, I'm an experienced person and I understand fifth sister-in-law's thoughts. Our fifth child is indeed a little old, more than ten years older than others. Fifth sister-in-law is pretty when she was young, so naturally we treat her like a treasure now. Everyone should be more understanding." The third daughter-in-law, Zhao, was the best at pleasing the old couple. The timing of saying this was also right. Old man Shi looked at Wang and nodded.

"My third sister-in-law is really good at talking. She said it so frankly." The eldest sister-in-law couldn't stand it. This third sister-in-law would try to make the old couple happy all day long, but she didn't dare to say anything else for fear of making her husband and father-in-law angry.

"Sister-in-law, what you said really makes my sister-in-law feel embarrassed. It seems that I can only make my parents happy. Isn't it all for the sake of the family? You said that our family quarrels all day long, but it still makes the villagers laugh. Now our family is prosperous in this village, with a lot of grandchildren, and a few children studying in the city. Isn't it all for the future of the children? I heard that if you plan to pursue a career in politics, this family tradition is very important. If it's not for anything else, don't you have to bear more for our family so that people won't laugh at you?" The third daughter-in-law Chao has never been afraid of her sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is a brainless and rough person. She is always fussy about trivial matters. She has a lot of ideas. She makes her mother-in-law and father-in-law very happy all day long, thinking that with such a large family property in the future, she will give more to the three rooms when the old couple are old. Needless to say, the old couple has a lot of money in their hands. The mother-in-law has given her a lot of money in private, which they don't know.

"I say, eldest brother's wife, you are the eldest sister-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law in this family, why don't you think about this family like your third brother's wife? You know what kind of life our family lived in the past. If it weren't for the fifth brother's ability to make money, our family would be able to build this big blue brick and tile house, and send your son to school. You must know that he is not my biological son. Today I am here to remind you again, we must not offend Dalang. He has no memory, but he is not stupid. Don't do anything excessive." Old man Shi, every time his sons mention him, they will think of him. The scene when he just rescued Shi Dalang, although Shi Dalang was seriously injured, his identity can be seen from his clothes, so he has always been afraid of him from the bottom of his heart. What if someone really recovers his memory one day and makes trouble for their family, then they can still survive.

Although five years have passed and Shi Dalang has not recovered his memory at all, this matter is always a concern for him.

"Dad, we all remember it, don't worry! For so many years, we have always had a good relationship with Dalang!" When the second brother Shi Qiu said this, he felt a little timid. To be honest, he was quite afraid of his fifth brother. He usually didn't dare to talk to him. Although he was several years older than Shi Dalang, he felt that Shi Dalang was the eldest son of the family. Even the eldest brother was polite to Shi Dalang. The main reason was that Shi Dalang's aura was too scary.

Although Shi Dalang usually didn't ask for food or water and wore coarse linen clothes, he went hunting in the mountains every day and then earned the money to give to his mother, but he was a little afraid that he would feel cowardly if he said it out loud!

"Dad, I just can't stand your attitude towards Shi Dalang. You saved his life, so you can be considered his savior, but he always looks superior. What's so great about that? Isn't it just that he can make some money? If you hadn't saved him, he would have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. You even found him a young wife. What is there for him to be unsatisfied about? If you ask me, everyone in our Shi family is his benefactor!" said the youngest daughter Shi Sisi unhappily.

In fact, Shi Sisi's parents didn't know that she had a crush on Shi Dalang. When Shi Dalang hadn't married yet, she had hinted to him many times about her feelings for him, but Shi Dalang seemed not to feel it and didn't respond at all.

Shi Sisi is 16 years old this year. Although she was not very old when Shi Dalang came to her house, she saw that when her father rescued Shi Dalang, Shi Dalang was dressed very elegantly, so she wondered if Shi Dalang would recover his memory one day. If she fell in love with Shi Dalang, she would have the possibility of enjoying wealth and glory in the future, and she would not have to stay in this village. You said that although Shi Dalang is old, he is good-looking and has a lot of skills, so he will not be poor in the future!

She had wanted to try harder to get Shi Dalang to accept her, but she didn't expect that rumors would spread in the village, causing her parents to marry Li Qiuge to him.

So, when Li Qiuge entered this family, she always made trouble for Li Qiuge, but Li Qiuge was not an honest person, and she never let her bully her. She got angry when she thought of Li Qiuge's fair face. Why was Li Qiuge, a girl from the same village, doing all kinds of farm work at her mother's house every day, still so fair? She didn't even dare to go out of the house, and she didn't have the skin like Li Qiuge. Li Qiuge's hands were very rough, but her little hands were delicate and smooth.

"Shut up right now! Don't let me hear you say such things again! Our family did save him, but he has earned so much money for us over the years and we have paid back the favor of saving his life. You should know how many people in our village are jealous of Shi Dalang for his contribution to our hometown. If you make him angry, you can forget about your dowry!" His daughter was spoiled by this old woman in his family, and now she is becoming more and more arrogant.

"Dad, how can you say that to me? When my daughter gets married, you as her father should prepare a dowry. But now you bring up this matter. Humph, I won't eat anymore!" After saying this, Shi Sisi put down her bowl and chopsticks and went back to her room angrily.

"Her father, what you said is too harsh. Although my daughter is wrong, you can't say that in front of so many people. Girls become thin-skinned when they grow up!" Old Mrs. Shi loves her old daughter the most!

"What's the big deal? She has been quarreling with the fifth brother's wife these past few days. You don't even care about an unmarried girl. She always quarrels with her sister-in-law. How can her reputation be good if it gets out? Who will dare to marry her in the future?" He also felt sorry for his old daughter. Whenever he had something good to eat or wear, he would think of her first. But he also knew what was important.

"Dad!, don't mention these troubles. We all know it. The food is getting cold, and we still have to go to work after dinner." Shi Donglai added a piece of food to his father.

"Forget it, let's eat quickly. By the way, your fourth brother has had severe leg pain these days. Second and third brothers, when you go to the city, think about asking the doctor to see if you should change his medicine. Why is his leg pain so severe these days?" The fourth brother is a sickly person, and he needs a lot of medicine money every month. In fact, the brothers all have opinions. The fourth brother is not only a cripple, but also has so many diseases. He has to wait for people to take care of him every day. He is a useless person. But their parents take him too seriously. Even if they have complaints, they dare not say anything. The money is earned by Shi Dalang. If they were asked to pay, they would have quit long ago.

"Dad, Dalang killed a lot of wild animals today, including a big buck. He said he was going to the city to exchange for money. Why don't you let him go to the clinic and tell us? Our land will be harvested soon, so we need to keep an eye on it." In half a month, the grain from the fields can be brought home. Their family has a lot of land and can still have surplus grain after deducting taxes, but there are also poor families with many people and little land, and it is not enough to eat. Therefore, this is the peak period for food loss. Generally, the family will send someone to keep an eye on it. Their family has a lot of land, so more people are needed to keep an eye on it. The two brothers have not gone to the city to do odd jobs these days, but have been patrolling the fields!

"That's true. Then tell Dalang to go to the clinic and ask about your fourth brother, and bring back the medicine as well." Food is a big deal, and there can be no mistakes.

"By the way, grandsons, this month's tuition has to be paid. Please tell Dalang that if he sells the deer, he can go to the academy and pay the tuition to them." Old Man Shi knew that there was a big stag that could be sold for a lot of money. After paying the tuition for his grandsons, there would still be some money left.

"Dad, I understand. I'll tell him later," the second son agreed.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, Dalang said that my fourth sister-in-law needs to be nourished, so we kept one pheasant and one rabbit from the game, and asked him to make chicken soup for her at noon today." The second daughter-in-law quickly asked her father-in-law if she wanted to make the soup. Although she knew the answer in her heart, she still had to ask. In fact, he also wanted to eat a meal of rabbit and pheasant. Although there were many people in the family, everyone could have one or two pieces.

"Just do as he says." Although he also wanted to eat pheasants and rabbits, he was a little unhappy about taking the blame from Li.

“That greedy wife, I think she is in good health. These wild chickens and rabbits can be exchanged for a lot of money. It’s a pity to stew them and eat them. When she was at her parents’ home, she could go to the fields to work even when she was sick! But now she is so precious after falling into the river. I am really short-sighted. How could I marry such a lazy and greedy woman! Now I have to worship her like an ancestor. You know, I didn’t even have an egg to eat after giving birth to you, but now I have to stew chicken soup for that greedy wife!” Since Li Qiuge married into their family, she has been very irritated, especially because she always fights with her old daughter, which makes her even more disgusted! If it were other daughters-in-law, she would have beaten them with a big stick long ago, but she didn’t dare to do anything when she was Shi Dalang’s wife!

"Mom, don't be angry. Be careful not to get sick from it. A pheasant or wild rabbit can't be sold for much money. We haven't eaten meat for a long time. By the way, let's improve the food. I will stew the pheasant until it's tender at noon today, and give you a big bowl of chicken soup. I will also stew the rabbit meat for a while so that you can eat it more smoothly. You and dad are old, so you should eat more tonic food. Our fifth brother can hunt, so you can keep some for your family. You and dad are in good health, and we young people will be happy to see you!" The third daughter-in-law saw that her mother-in-law was angry, so she quickly tried to comfort her.

"Yes, mother, you two are old, and you really should eat more tonic food. When your grandson becomes successful in the future and gets a government position, he will ask you for permission. You will have to watch your grandson have children, and you will be the old lady at home!" The second daughter-in-law also flattered him.

"Third and second daughters-in-law are both thoughtful. What you said makes sense. Your mother and I have not been in good health for the past two years. We should take good care of ourselves so that we can see the children have a bright future." His two grandsons are studying in the academy and doing well. They hope to pass the examinations and become a student and a scholar, and then become a juren, and maybe even a government official. Then their Shi family will be even more enviable in Shijia Village.

Old Mrs. Shi was in a good mood after hearing what her two daughters-in-law said. She didn't feel bad about eating the two wild animals. If she really kept herself strong and healthy, she could live a few more years. As people get older, they become more and more afraid of death.

"Third daughter-in-law, remember that when the pheasant is stewed, just give that lazy woman more soup. Add some boiling water to it. Since she needs to drink more soup, just give her some soup and keep the meat." Old man Shi listened to what his wife said without saying a word. The third daughter-in-law knew about it, and the father-in-law also tacitly agreed with the mother-in-law's approach.

"I understand, mother. Fifth brother's wife is ill. She really shouldn't eat too much greasy food. It will make it harder for her to recover." Old Mrs. Shi nodded with satisfaction. It was worth it that she loved this third daughter-in-law so much and everything she said and did was to her liking.

After dinner, the daughters-in-law cleaned up the dishes and the men all went to work in the fields.
