“Ah!” Sun Xiuhe wanted to retort, but when she opened her mouth, she accidentally ate a mouthful of mud.
Disgusted, he rolled his eyes back, staggered backward, and leaned against the wall, vomiting violently.
At this time, Song Dachuan was no longer in the courtyard; he must have gone back to the fields to work.
The anger that had been building up inside me finally let out.
Song Zhaodi didn’t look at Sun Xiuhe again and prepared to boil water for a bath.
However, just as she reached the water vat in the corner of the courtyard, a soft female voice suddenly came from the courtyard gate.
“Zhaodi, are you home?”
“Oh dear! Grandma Zhaodi, what’s wrong?”
Immediately afterwards, a pink figure rushed in, and was stunned when she saw Sun Xiuhe’s face and mouth covered in mud.
“Mei, Meifeng… ugh…”
Sun Xiuhe grabbed Jiang Meifeng, wanting to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she swallowed several mouthfuls of mud, feeling nauseous.
The mud splattered, and a few drops landed on Jiang Meifeng’s skirt.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Meifeng quickly took several steps back, her feigned concern replaced by disgust, and she frowned as she looked at the hem of her skirt.
This is a brand new dress she bought, and today is the first time she’s worn it. It’s gotten so dirty, and she’s heartbroken.
Looking up, I saw Song Zhaodi scooping water from the water vat in the corner of the wall, as if nothing had happened.
Anger surged within her. “Zhao Di, you’re home! Your grandmother is vomiting like this, why aren’t you doing anything about it?”
Upon hearing this, Song Zhaodi continued scooping water, but glanced at him sideways and said, “You live by the sea? You’re quite nosy.”
Jiang Meifeng was an only child. Her mother died early, and she often went hungry when she was young. The original owner of this body brought her food a few times, and then she became attached to the body.
Jiang Meifeng would often come to the Song family to see Song Zhaodi and get a free meal.
Later, Jiang Meifeng’s father made a fortune, and Jiang Meifeng became arrogant. She always showed off in front of the original owner of the body, acting very high and mighty. The original owner didn’t like to be around her, but because she was timid by nature, she didn’t dare to confront her directly and avoided her whenever possible, which only made the other party feel more present.
Hearing her impolite words, Jiang Meifeng’s eyes widened, and she questioned, “Zhaodi, how can you talk like that? Although she is not your biological grandmother, she is still your elder.”
Song Zhaodi put down the water ladle, turned to the side, and looked Jiang Meifeng up and down, then gave a slight smile.
“none of your business!”
This girl is full of bad intentions. If it weren’t for seeing her and Lin Yong crawling through the bushes today, the original owner wouldn’t have lost her mind, fallen into the water, and lost her life.
Thinking of this, Song Zhaodi was furious and threw the bucket, which came flying over like a gust of wind.
While Jiang Meifeng was still in a daze, she slapped her twice.
Jiang Meifeng covered her face, glaring at him in disbelief. “Song Zhaodi, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?”
“Because you’re shameless!” Song Zhaodi said, her hands on her hips, her voice ringing out.
The words “shameless” made Jiang Meifeng’s eyes glaze over. She pursed her lips and tried to appear calm, saying, “You’re swearing! I’ll tear your mouth apart.”
Sun Xiuhe, who had recovered, also began to chime in, her words muffled by mud stuck to her teeth.
“That brat deserves a beating!”
After saying that, both of them looked at Song Zhaodi with murderous intent.
Song Zhaodi reacted quickly, grabbing a handful of mud from her head and pretending to throw it at him.
She didn’t stop talking either, “Jiang Meifeng, you secretly called Sun Xiuhe an old hag, and now you’re pretending to be a good person. What else can you be but shameless?”
The two people who had hesitated to approach because they were afraid that Song Zhaodi would throw mud at them stopped in their tracks after hearing these words.
The mud on Sun Xiuhe’s face was stuck to her hair, making her look particularly comical, but her triangular eyes gleamed with a fierce light as she glared at Jiang Meifeng.
“You called me an old hag?”
Living in the same village, everyone knows which daughter-in-law is timid and which mother-in-law is shrewish.
It’s common to gossip behind someone’s back, but no one would bring it up in public and break off relations.
Seeing that Sun Xiuhe had changed her tune, Song Zhaodi quickly added fuel to the fire, “She even called Song Yaozu a spendthrift ancestor with a head full of donkey dung.”
Song Yaozu is Sun Xiuhe’s Achilles’ heel; whoever provokes him will suffer the consequences.
Hearing this, without caring whether it was true or not, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, shouting, “Today I’ll tear your mouth apart, you shameless slut…”
Jiang Meifeng was completely dumbfounded. She came here to seek attention, not to get beaten up.
He immediately took off running outside.
Seeing that she couldn’t catch up, Sun Xiuhe casually picked up a manure ladle from the wall, scooped up a full ladle, and sprinkled it on the wall.
“Ah, my new clothes!”
“I’ll fight you to the death… Help! Someone’s hitting me…”
“I’ll teach you to keep spouting nonsense.”
The shouts and screams gradually faded into the distance. Only after watching the two run away did Song Zhaodi close and lock the courtyard gate.
I went back to my room to shower and wash my hair.
She was quick; after washing up and getting dressed, she took her dirty clothes to the river to wash them.
Sun Xiuhe chased Jiang Meifeng all the way, but when a crowd of onlookers gathered, fearing ridicule, she had no choice but to return dejectedly.
He wanted to go home and teach Song Zhaodi a lesson, but he couldn’t find her. He was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he went to the fields to complain to Song Dachuan.
riverside.
The women chatted as they washed and rinsed.
“Oh my, you didn’t see it, it was so dangerous. Zhao Di was about to lose her float. If Chen Che hadn’t jumped into the water and pulled her out, I don’t even want to think about what would have happened.”
“That was so dangerous! Shen Che has a terrible reputation, but I never expected him to be so kind. The Song family should bring generous gifts to thank him for saving their lives.”
“That’s hard to say.” Wang Guihua pouted, glanced at everyone, and then whispered, “Sun Xiuhe’s face was really long back then. She didn’t say a single polite word, pulled Zhaodi out of Chen Che’s arms, and even said…”
“What else is there to say?” Everyone asked curiously, and they all stopped what they were doing.
“What kind of talk is it to say that Zhao Di is all wet and clinging to someone’s arms, hugging and cuddling with a man from another family?”
“Oh dear, is this what Grandma said?”
“It’s nothing surprising. After all, she’s not their biological grandmother. It’s obvious that Sun Xiuhe doesn’t like the three sisters… Shh, Zhaodi is here.”
The women fell silent instantly, looking at Song Zhaodi who was walking towards them with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
“Zhaodi, come wash here, these stones aren’t slippery.” Wang Guihua got up and offered her seat, asking with concern, “Weren’t you scared just now?”
Song Zhaodi shook her head, thanked Wang Guihua, and then followed the original owner’s memories to wash clothes on the stone.
The others stopped talking about the previous topic, asked a few questions about Song Zhaodi, and then went about their own business.
By the time Song Zhaodi finished washing her clothes, she was all alone by the river.
Looking at the shimmering river, Song Zhaodi felt a lingering fear.
He quickly picked up the basin and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, followed by a ‘click’ sound.
Song Zhaodi’s hand holding the basin suddenly sank, water droplets splashed up, and when she looked down, she saw a large fish thrashing about in her basin.
Just as she was about to jump out, she quickly held her back.
The subtitles reappear: Grass carp is warm in nature, sweet in taste, and rich in nutrients. It can be used to make braised grass carp chunks, steamed grass carp with scallions, boiled fish fillets, fish head with chopped chili, pickled cabbage fish, grass carp and tofu soup, etc.
It also included a series of recipes and dietary restrictions.
The original owner only drank a bowl of brown rice porridge with only a few grains of rice in the morning, and after all that trouble, it had already been used up.
I’m hungry now!
