Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 335 - 33: The Doomed Sister-in-law in the Group-Pampered Novel
Fubo? Every day you bring something back and hide it, afraid we’ll notice. You secretly eat it at midnight in your room, you think I don’t know? All these things you keep for yourself and still act like you’ve done something big, humph! You really think you’re something else!"
After speaking, Wang Fengjiao directly tossed aside the spatula, leaving the stuff cooking in the pot unattended, and walked out. After cursing out loud, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief and comfort, even the child who had been restless in her belly quieted down quite a bit.
Xie Yumian stood dumbfounded in the kitchen, smelling the burnt odor from the pot, recalling Wang Fengjiao’s words. An indescribable anger almost made her lose her balance, mixed feelings of inferiority and pride made her clench her fists tightly, wanting to scream. She stared at the doorway, her almost irrational mind immediately thought of a person.
Jiang Lai.
Since she married into the family, life at home has changed.
Third Brother split the family for her, Mother almost had a stroke because of her, the previously peaceful and stable days are gone forever, and it was all started by Jiang Lai.
She underestimated Jiang Lai.
Her two submissive sisters-in-law must have been stirred up by Jiang Lai to dare to show her such nasty attitudes!
Xie Yumian gritted her teeth, and after finally calming down, she hurried to rehearsals at the troupe in the brigade.
This is the crucial moment for her to join the troupe. Once the performance succeeds, and she passes a test, she can join the army’s arts troupe and become an official city dweller living off the state.
No matter what, she can’t delay the rehearsal.
She wants to rightfully become the most important person in this family.
——
The village chief knew about Xie Family’s affairs, as it involved Jiang Lai, the secretary sent from above, the village chief was particularly attentive to this matter and directly called Eldest Xie to the village office for ideological education.
Eldest Xie has always been honest and simple, and all the matters big and small in the family are handled by Lv Cuiping, but ultimately he’s the head of the family, the owner of the homestead, so facing the village chief’s education and the villagers’ gossip, Eldest Xie couldn’t bear losing face.
"I know, I am clear about it. Third Brother has earned quite a bit for the family these years, I was planning to give it to him anyway, when I go back I’ll think it over, might as well split the family completely, and save me from worrying all day long."
He certainly didn’t want to split the family, he’s not that old, his sons are all strong, and if the family worked together, they could have a life others envy.
But now he clearly feels the atmosphere at home is off, the other two sons, influenced by their wives, have drifted apart, and won’t work together anymore. Rather than dragging it on and causing resentment, it’s better to split early for peace.
The village chief felt assured seeing Eldest Xie understood, and uttered a bit as he left.
"You should have lived the most comfortably in the village; Third Brother has married such a good wife, stop causing a fuss every day, separating will only hurt you old folks."
Eldest Xie didn’t understand what the village chief meant by saying Third Brother married a good wife, every time he thinks of that wife, his head hurts, Lv Cuiping curses her even in her dreams, and still this is a good wife? Third Brother might be blind, but why is the village chief joining in?
"What is it? Having a daughter-in-law working as a secretary for the village committee isn’t satisfying? Getting over twenty yuan a month! Doesn’t have to do anything!"
This made the village chief envious.
More than his salary, and doesn’t have to do anything, as it’s funded from above, no worry of unpaid wages.
Eldest Xie was dumbfounded.
"Who are you talking about? You’ve got it wrong, I don’t have a daughter-in-law working as a secretary for the village chief, you’ve got it wrong."
"Jiang Lai, Xie Jian’s wife, how could I get it wrong, see her every day, I think you’re the one who’s confused, spend half the time you dote on your daughter instead on your daughter-in-law, it’s better than anything!"
Eldest Xie felt like listening to riddles with the village chief, puzzled and astonished.
The village chief wouldn’t joke with him, but the Jiang Lai he was talking about was too different from the Jiang Lai he knew, who should he believe?
"My daughter-in-law didn’t even go to school, how could she be an official! You’re wrong, you’ve got it wrong."
In Eldest Xie’s eyes, the village chief was the biggest official he met in his life, and the village committee in his view was like the mighty governor, if Jiang Lai was a secretary to the village committee, wouldn’t she be an official too? The Xie Family never had someone so capable; all hope rested on Yu Mian, but even Yu Mian didn’t dare dream of being an official beside the village committee, let alone Jiang Lai.
The village chief couldn’t get through to Eldest Xie, casually gestured him to leave.
Eldest Xie kept muttering on the way back, impossible, how could it be.
But what the village chief said about Xie Jian’s wife, Jiang Lai, what’s going on?
There are no duplicate names in the village.
So what’s going on here?
Carrying a belly full of doubt and anxiety, Eldest Xie returned home, directly summoned his two sons into the room.
With half her face paralyzed, Lv Cuiping still hadn’t figured out what’s happening, just heard Eldest Xie’s hoarse voice saying.
"I know all your thoughts, calling you here for one thing, to talk about splitting the family."
Xie Guo and Xie Qiang were first startled hearing this, then promptly showed a mix of anxiety and some anticipation and excitement.
After all, these days they’ve been tormented by their wives, particularly the second one, after losing a finger and being treated that way, his heart was half cold, how could he not have thoughts about splitting.
Lv Cuiping was so anxious that the other side of her face almost paralyzed, her eyes filled with resentment and dissatisfaction as she glared at Eldest Xie.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
She spoke with lips venting wind, even spitting while speaking, yet she wouldn’t stop, vehemently opposing.
"Split what! You’re confused, aren’t you?!"
"I say split, then we split, this house as it is, has no meaning, earlier split means earlier peace."
Lv Cuiping’s eyes turned red, crying and screaming to no avail, Eldest Xie was determined, she couldn’t stop him, so she turned around to threaten the two sons.
"You split up, then don’t recognize me as a mother anymore!"
Though the two sons called her mother, their attitude was also firmly resolute.
Seeing that the house no longer allowed her to speak up, Lv Cuiping fainted from rage and sadness.
Sent for a doctor’s check showed no issues, Eldest Xie seized the opportunity of her fainting to completely split the family, even brought the village chief as a witness, laid out all of Xie family’s possessions, following the principle of splitting among the four sons and one daughter, the four sons shared one brick house and three mud houses, plus eighty yuan each and various coupons.
