Tian Xiaohua lay on the kang crying. So where would they go to eat these days?

Su Daqiang sat on the kang, seething with anger, thinking that he would never come back to his in-laws’ house again. He’s the son-in-law and also a guest.

Su Liangliang lay on the kang, thinking it would have been better not to come. He could go find that jinx; she must have food. Anything would be better than being driven away here, right?

"Mom, you can’t just ignore me, I’m your daughter."

Mrs. Tian sighed, "What do you want me to do to help you?"

"Mom, that jinx can take the blame, find someone else to replace me."

"Where am I going to find someone? The whole village knows about the situation over there, no one will go."

"Then let Da Yingzi go." Da Yingzi was the eldest brother’s eldest niece.

Before Mrs. Tian could say anything, Eldest Sister-in-law Tian stormed in, wielding a broom, and started beating Tian Xiaohua over the head.

"You vile woman, coming to my house to harm my daughter. You’re really heartless, get out of here!"

Tian Xiaohua tried to dodge on the kang; she was exhausted and starving, how could she avoid the broom in her sister-in-law’s hand?

A good beating ensued, and in the end, Eldest Sister-in-law Tian threw out the bags they brought with them. "Get out quickly, you think you can harm my daughter? In your dreams!"

"Sister-in-law, Xiaohua was just saying..."

Eldest Sister-in-law Tian stood there, one hand on her hip, the other holding the broom. "Saying? Even talking about it is not okay. My daughter is not someone to be defiled. Leave now, we won’t keep you."

"Of course, if you don’t leave, then we will. But don’t expect me to care for mother-in-law in the future."

That’s how Eldest Sister-in-law Tian caused a scene, and the eldest son of the Tian family didn’t come out.

Old Mrs. Tian had no choice; she still relied on her son for support in the future.

"Eldest’s wife, it’s come to this. Let them eat and sleep for a night. Tomorrow let them leave. No matter what, she’s still my daughter, and this was once her home."

"Hmph, you said it yourself, once was. It isn’t now."

"Eldest’s wife, I’ll let them stay for just one night."

Eldest Sister-in-law Tian knew when to stop, her goal was achieved, she knew her sister-in-law’s ways, only freeloading and expecting to be served like a servant, so tomorrow they would leave. Staying one night was fine.

Su Daqiang felt utterly humiliated; although he had never been highly regarded, he had never been dismissed this way.

He wanted to leave in anger, but where could he go? It’s so cold now, so he could only sit there, swallowing his anger.

"Xiaohua, leave tomorrow morning."

"Mom, are you really going to ignore me?"

"Should I stand in for you?"

Old Mrs. Tian saw her daughter’s delighted expression and felt disheartened. She didn’t even respond to her and went outside. This daughter really couldn’t be relied on.

So now it was just their family of three left in the room.

"Da Qiang, what should we do now?"

Su Daqiang, although incompetent and lazy, still had a lot of male pride.

He was furious now. Being treated this way by his in-laws, he felt humiliated.

So he didn’t respond when Tian Xiaohua spoke.

"Group Leader Ma said, if no one takes the place, can’t we just pay? Anyway, I’m definitely not going. If you don’t want to spend the money, just go with that jinx, while we stay home."

Before Su Daqiang could say anything, Su Liangliang, lying on the kang, wouldn’t have it. He believed all the family’s money should be his. How could they use his money to buy a spot elsewhere? Absolutely not, what would he do when the money’s gone?

"No, I don’t care, that money is mine in the future."

Su Daqiang didn’t originally agree either, but hearing his son say this, he couldn’t just stand by; he’s not dead yet, after all, everything was still his.

Besides, it seemed his son didn’t want to support them in the future, relying on him?

Thus, he sneered, "Yours? It’s all mine.

If you don’t want to spend the money, you should go with that jinx."

"I’m not going." Su Liangliang sat up abruptly, glaring fiercely.

Su Daqiang got angry. He already had a stomach full of fire with nowhere to vent. He slapped Su Liangliang directly, causing his lips to bleed.

Su Liangliang bawled, he had never been hit before, and now he wouldn’t take it, he lunged at Su Daqiang’s body, biting his father’s hand.

Su Daqiang regretted hitting his son, but after being bitten, all regrets vanished.

He slapped him twice more, leaving Su Liangliang scared.

Tian Xiaohua was in distress, and when she reacted, her son was already crying there.

"Da Qiang, how could you hit our son?"

"Shut up, or I’ll hit you next."

Tian Xiaohua had never seen such a terrifying Su Daqiang before, so scared she didn’t dare speak.

The Tian family outside heard the commotion too, but no one came in. No one wanted to get involved in this kind of situation.

Su Liangliang kept crying, but Eldest Sister-in-law Tian outside wouldn’t have it. Standing outside, she yelled, "Shut up, if you want to cry, go back to your own home. No one died here. If you keep crying, get out."

Su Daqiang felt utterly humiliated, "Shut up. Keep crying and I’ll send you to Jiangbei."

At this, Su Liangliang stiffened and stopped crying. He was truly scared.

First, he had never been beaten before, and his father’s demeanor had frightened him.

Second, he had come from Jiangbei. He knew how tough life was there, truly exhausting, even for kids his age not wanting to work, it wasn’t allowed.

Moreover, if someone tried to run back home secretly, they would be caught directly. That’s why the three of them never thought about returning or taking the jinx to work, because even if she worked, they still had to work.

When dinner was ready, there was only pickled vegetables and porridge as thin as water at home.

By now, the three of them had no temper left.

Eldest Sister-in-law Tian scoffed, thinking it was already good to offer some food when they showed up empty-handed.

Tian Xiaohua sipped her porridge begrudgingly. Now she truly didn’t know what to do, but one thing for sure, she wasn’t going back.

There weren’t enough quilts at home, so Tian Xiaohua and her mom shared one.

Old Mrs. Tian ultimately felt sympathy for her daughter, and she heard what the family said before dinner.

"Xiaohua, if you can avoid going by paying, just pay. You probably don’t know, but our area will become a commune soon. Then everyone works together for work points, and the commune distributes grain and money."

"Everyone works together?"

"Yes, everything belongs to the commune. The more you work, the more you’ll earn."
