Chapter 66 The Radiance of the Virgin Mary Has Dimmed (2)
"Liu Dafeng, what's gotten into you today? Apologize to Xiaoying right now!" Aunt Zhao shouted fiercely, hands on her hips.
Zheng Xiaoying was angry after being hit, and it was not something that could be resolved with just an apology.
With a limp and a ferocious expression, she rolled her eyes and said, "An apology is nothing. I have to fight back, or this isn't over. I'm going back to my parents' house right now!"
This was her trump card; whenever she threw a tantrum and threatened to go back to her parents' home, the Zhao family would all give in.
After all, her father is the county magistrate!
"Fight back! You have to fight back! Fight until you're happy!" Aunt Zhao said with a forced smile, supporting Zheng Xiaoying.
"Don't hit my mother..."
"mother……"
The two children cried around Su Dingding's legs.
“No one dares to hit me, and no one will dare to hit you in the future.” Su Dingding pulled the two children up and coaxed them gently.
"Hmph!" Zheng Xiaoying sneered, took the broom handed to her by Aunt Zhao, and started hitting Su Dingding.
As a result, the broom missed its target and was stepped on by Su Dingding.
Then he kicked Zheng Xiaoying away again.
"what!"
With a gasp, Zheng Xiaoying fell to the ground, scraping her knees.
"Unbelievable! That shrew from the countryside dared to hit the second son's wife!" Aunt Zhao was terrified and rushed over to help Zheng Xiaoying up.
Before she could get close to Zheng Xiaoying, Su Dingding grabbed her hair and pulled her back.
“Old woman, that’s a slut. She was cheating on her husband with her second son. My son found out, and she’s trying to turn around and accuse me. What? Does your Zhao family like being cuckolded?” Su Dingding asked.
"Nonsense, I didn't!" Zheng Xiaoying denied it, scrambling to her feet from the ground with a fierce look in her eyes.
Aunt Zhao's eyes darted around as she weighed the pros and cons in her mind.
Even if it's true, we should pretend we don't know, since the daughter-in-law is the county magistrate's daughter, which is good for the family.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you have no other skills, but you've learned to gossip. The child you raised is ill-mannered, talking nonsense and even daring to smear your aunt. I bet you're the one who taught him that!" Aunt Zhao wanted to jump up, but Su Dingding held her down firmly and she didn't get up.
"Liu Dafeng, you're just jealous because the old lady treats me so well, so you're trying to slander me, right? How could you do something so despicable!" Zheng Xiaoying glared at her defiantly.
"I don't care about your messy affairs. Do whatever you want. It's not me who's being cuckolded!" Su Dingding pushed Aunt Zhao away.
Then she took the two children's hands and said, "Come on, Mom will cook for you!"
I don't know how long it's been since I last ate, I'm starving.
Not only was she hungry, but her two thin children's stomachs were also growling, and she could hear it all.
"Liu Dafeng, what's with your attitude?" Aunt Zhao shouted at her retreating figure with dissatisfaction.
Zheng Xiaoying pulled her back, "When Zhao Yong comes back, let him teach Liu Dafeng a lesson. There can't be no order in this house."
"Xiaoying, then I'm sorry to trouble you." Aunt Zhao held her hand, her face full of humility.
"Sigh, who told me to be so blind to marry Zhao Wei!" Zheng Xiaoying sighed and went back into the house.
Seeing that Liu Dafeng knew how to cook, Aunt Zhao stopped talking and went back inside.
But after waiting for a long time, they still didn't hear Liu Dafeng call them to eat. Aunt Zhao was so hungry that she took the initiative to come out and see what was going on.
Then I smelled a delicious aroma coming from the yard, and my mouth almost watered.
But the kitchen was empty except for a jumble of dirty bowls and empty, dirty pots.
She quietly went to her eldest son's room and heard the sounds of them eating inside.
"Niu Niu, eat more meat. You're too thin."
"Little Tiger should eat more so he'll have the strength to protect his mother and sister."
"Mother, eat more too."
"Eat, eat, eat until you die!" Aunt Zhao was furious. She cursed and tried to open the door to go in, only to find it locked.
"You, Liu Dafeng, who gave you the audacity to eat alone? Tell me, did you stew that old hen in the refrigerator?"
"It's so noisy!" Su Dingding said with a cold expression, clearly annoyed.
If she weren't too lazy to go to the street to buy it, who would want to eat a frozen old hen?
"Open the door now, or you'll be sorry!" Aunt Zhao pounded on the door.
Zheng Xiaoying also came out of the house. "Didn't Liu Dafeng invite us to dinner?"
"That's right, she even secretly stewed that old hen!" Aunt Zhao complained, annoyed.
Zheng Xiaoying was furious. That was a gift from her mother, and Liu Dafeng didn't deserve to eat it!
"Liu Dafeng, are you a glutton? Have you never eaten chicken in your life? Aren't you afraid of choking to death?!"
The two women were arguing loudly at the door when Su Dingding opened the door with the foot-washing water she hadn't poured out the night before and splashed it out.
"Ouch!"
No one escaped getting soaked; everyone was drenched.
"Liu Dafeng, this is terrible! They're going to rebel!" Aunt Zhao was so angry she barely had the strength to speak.
"This is your eldest son's foot bath water, why are you complaining?" Su Dingding said smugly, standing at the door. "I'll treat you to some fragrant foot bath water, and if you don't want more, I'll make you some more right now!"
Without even taking off her slippers, she went to the large water vat in the yard and started washing her feet.
"Liu Dafeng, what are you doing?" Zheng Xiaoying started to feel nauseous. They used to drink water from the water tank. Could it be that her feet had been washed in that water too?
"Not everyone can drink my foot bath water, you're lucky!" Su Dingding said, and then started splashing water on them one basin after another.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, do you not want to live together anymore? When the eldest son comes back, he'll beat you to death!" Aunt Zhao was splashed with water and couldn't open her eyes.
It was the middle of summer, but for some reason the water was bone-chillingly cold. It felt like ice when it hit my skin, as if even my bones were frozen solid.
Zheng Xiaoying felt as if basins of boiling water had been poured over her. Her skin didn't appear to change color, but she felt like her skin was about to peel off from the heat, and she was sweating profusely from the pain.
One of them huddled on the ground, trembling all over, while the other screamed and stood still, too afraid to move.
Gangzi transformed into a crow and cawed merrily in the persimmon tree in the yard.
Zhao Xiaohu and Zhao Niuniu stood fearfully at the door, blinking at Su Dingding but not daring to speak.
Su Dingding had gone completely crazy before finally dropping the basin in his hand.
They think I'm some kind of saint!
Pooh!
From now on, it's your turn to be beasts of burden!
"Little Tiger, Niu Niu, come back inside for dinner." Turning around, Su Dingding had a smile on her face again.
Zhao Xiaohu looked up at her and asked cautiously, "Mom, will Dad beat us when he comes back?"
“Your aunt cheated on you with another man, she deserved to be beaten. When she comes back, she’ll only praise you for doing a great service!” Su Dingding patted his little head.
"Mom, then why did you hit my brother just now?" Zhao Niu Niu asked a question that seemed to come from the depths of her soul.
Su Dingding was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "Mom's cerebellum atrophied just now, but it's swelled up again, hehehe..."
