58: Chapter 58: Unlucky Guy_1 58: Chapter 58: Unlucky Guy_1 Yang Peiliâs face turned extremely ugly.
He had ignored the comments before, but now he couldnât pretend he hadnât heard them.
He stood up and walked over, âDisaster comes from the mouth.
Keep blabbering, and sooner or later youâll bring trouble upon us.â
âIâŠâ
âEnough, get on with cooking,â Yang Peili let out a breath, âWe still have to work the fields laterâŠâ
Yang Anshi could no longer continue cursing, and knowing that Yang Dani was there, Xun Hui wouldnât be coming out today either.
She had no choice but to go and kick the doors of the second and fourth rooms.
âMother, I was the one who cooked yesterday,â Feng Caie protested, âYou canât possibly make me do it again today, can you?â
âSo you ate and relieved yourself yesterday, and today youâre not going to eat or relieve yourself?â Yang Anshi glared at her, âIf you donât eat or relieve yourself today, then you donât have to cook.â
âMother, if one doesnât eat or relieve themselves, are they still human?
Iâm going right now, alright?â Feng Caie pouted and then dragged her feet towards the kitchen.
âMother, canât you let someone have a good sleep?â Yang Baifu couldnât help but grumble, for he had only just managed to get a little sleep, and as to what he had been up to, only he knew.
âWhereâs Dongshi?
Hurry up and start cooking.
A hen that doesnât lay eggs wants to play the lady?â Yang Anshiâs hostility immediately turned towards Yang Dongshi, âGet out here now.â
âIâm coming.â Yang Dongshi quickly responded, walking out with her head lowered.
Due to Yang Baifuâs departure, she had barely slept last night, so naturally, her dark circles were very noticeable.
âLittle Four, what were you up to last night?â Feng Caie was the sort to enjoy chaos, and as soon as Yang Dongshi entered the kitchen, her voice, second only to Yang Anshiâs in volume, rang out, âLook how dark those circles areâŠâ
âIt was too hot, I didnât sleep well last night,â said Yang Dongshi, touching her face, appearing somewhat ashamed.
But this didnât look innocent in the eyes of Yang Anshi, who, still fuming from being talked back to by Yang Ruxin, burst out, âA barren hen, still shameless enough to stay up all night tossing and turning in bed, youâve practically ruined my good sonâŠâ
Yang Dongshi immediately felt even more ashamed, wishing she could bury her head in a seam in the ground.
Yet Feng Caie looked utterly pleased with herself.
In her mind, as long as the other daughters-in-law were scolded and fell out of favor, that was good enough, as it highlighted her own distinction.
Yang Ruxin naturally couldnât just do nothing, but she wouldnât be doing the dirty, tiring chores anymore.
At that moment, she was sweeping the yard with Erni.
After hearing Yang Anshiâs words, she couldnât help but shake her head.
That old woman was truly good at tormenting her daughters-in-law.
The women who married into the Yang Family were all unlucky.
Yet upon further reflection, it seemed that many households in ancient times behaved similarly.
The saying âa daughter-in-law will eventually become the mother-in-lawâ meant that when you were a daughter-in-law, you were oppressed by your mother-in-law.
Once you finally became a mother-in-law, you would take out all the oppression you suffered on your daughter-in-lawâŠ
It was a complete and vicious cycle.
Having swept the yard, the sisters went to the back and mixed the pig feed before pouring it into the trough.
Watching the two big pigs gobble it up voraciously, Erniâs face showed longing, âWhen these pigs were first brought back, they were so small, and now theyâve grown so big.
Come the end of the year, they can be soldâŠâ
The Yang Family actually had quite decent living conditions, with over twenty acres of land.
Every year, the family would raise two pigs and a dozen chickens.
By the end of the year, selling the two pigs would bring in a substantial amount of money.
However, these past years, it was the children from the eldest household who had been feeding these chickens and pigs.
But when it came time to slaughter the pigs, only the eldest household got the smallest share of the meat.
