“I understand now that the more help you offer, the more greedy the receiver will be!”
“Eldest Sister-in-law…”
“Anyway, I will let go of this matter this time, but you have to remember not to spread rumors outside! You have to be honest and down-to-earth as good human beings! And you should be grateful too! Otherwise you are worse than animals, right?”
Second Uncle and the others were so irritated in their hearts.
But they had no right to counter her. They forced a smile and nodded.
Ms. Fang felt even prouder. “Just think before you do anything and don’t break your eldest brother’s heart. You all have sons and daughter-in-laws, grandchildren and everything. Don’t keep turning to your eldest brother for help whenever you have problems. Your eldest brother is getting old and he can’t really be of help all the time.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle felt very humiliated, when they had no excuse to counter her words.
Eldest Brother stiffened and was silent.
Ms. Niu added. “Then… Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, what about spring plowing…”
“Oh yes, what about it?” Ms. Ma added. “What about going to the field tomorrow? Time is so pressing.”
Second Uncle and Third Uncle nodded in agreement.
Ms. Fang sneered inwardly.
It seemed what she said in the past few minutes were all empty words!
They were never going to become independent or examine themselves.
They were so used to relying on their eldest brother for everything that they could not change the habit so easily.
There were always people who could not change their nature, no matter how the environment changed.
Ms. Fang said, “We are a family, but we still need to have an account for everything. My sons can’t help you for free all the time. Instead, we can make an exchange.”
Second Uncle and the others nodded in agreement.
They agreed because the exchange would happen in the next spring plowing time. For now, everything could be agreed upon and then later left behind.
Ms. Fang knew exactly what they were thinking, seeing how easily they nodded.
She sneered inwardly and added. “Since we need to settle it fairly, we will write it down!”
They were all startled.
Second Uncle felt very uncomfortable. “We are a family. We don’t need to make it so serious, right?”
“Why not?” Ms. Fang sneered. “I don’t want to take advantage of anyone, what if some rumor is spread again? I only trust written words!”
Eldest Uncle could not say a word.
Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were so angry. That episode was the bargaining chip Ms. Fang could always use throughout her whole life, right?
Actually, Ms. Fang truly planned to do that – they were the ones who betrayed her, no?
Second Uncle did not want to prolong it any longer, and did not think that it was a big deal, so he said, “Eldest Sister-in-law is right, just write it down.”
Ms. Fang added. “I won’t let you suffer. Your rakes will all be made by us. Second section of the family, you have 8 mu of field, third section of the family you have 7.6 mu of fields right? So together with rakes, the second section of the family has 19 laborers, whilst the third section of the family will have 15 right? Any problem?”
Second section of the family and the third section of the family were all dumbfounded.
Even Eldest Uncle was dumbfounded.
Ms. Xu was startled, and she was about to say something, but could not counter her mother-in-law’s authority. She was feeling so hurt inside her heart. Was her mother-in-law giving herself up out of anger?
What nonsense was she talking about?
