Chapter 91 Liu Pan comes back to see the mother and daughter
She stood up and started smashing things. She pushed the stacked firewood into a mess and knocked the old hen in the chicken coop unconscious with the wood.
She also smashed water tanks and wooden barrels...
Old Lady Liu was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly. "She's crazy... She's crazy. Go and hold that damn girl down."
Chen Ximei held Shen Xue down, found a rope, tied her hands and feet, and went to the kitchen to find a dirty rag to stuff into her mouth.
Chen Ximei cursed, "You're a money-loser. You get mad when I curse you. How can you be so capable?
You have a face like a foxy woman, and I don't know how many men you have hooked up with behind my back. I am so unlucky to have a niece like you..."
Liu Pan was angry that her daughter had suddenly gone crazy. The yard she had just cleaned in the morning was now in a mess. But when she heard what Chen Ximei said, she felt very uncomfortable.
"Ximei, why are you talking so harshly? My Xiaoxue is still a little girl. What's wrong with her being pretty? How can you call her a vixen?"
Her daughter is pretty, which is the only thing she is proud of. With her daughter's looks, finding a capable son-in-law is not a problem at all.
But if her daughter has a bad reputation, it will be difficult for her to find a good family.
"Tsk, I wasn't wrong."
Liu Pandi felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to talk to Chen Ximei about it, so she could only hold her breath and work.
In her heart, she also blamed Shen Xue for being ignorant. She could have just said a few words, but why did she get so angry? How could she stay at her parents' home?
Shen Xue's hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was blocked by a dirty rag. The stench from the dirty rag made Shen Xue cry and she kept whimpering.
Liu Pan was afraid that his daughter would go crazy again, so he didn't untie the rope for her and didn't take the dirty rag down.
It was impossible to let his daughter do the work, so Liu Pandi had to do it herself, cleaning the yard, chopping wood, and washing clothes.
Old Lady Liu was most worried about her old hen. She touched the hen's neck and found that it was still breathing, but the hen looked listless when it woke up.
"Pan Di, your daughter knocked out the chicken at home. The chicken was frightened and probably won't dare to lay eggs. You have to pay for it.
You have to pay for the chicken and the water tank. I don’t want much. Just give me ten dollars.”
Liu Pandi didn't dare to refuse, "I understand, mother. I will ask Xiangxi for money when I go home tomorrow."
Liu Pandi worked all day and all night, but the next day he didn't even get half a steamed bun. He returned to Shenjiaba Brigade with Shen Xue feeling dizzy and dazed.
The mother and daughter stayed at Lao Liu's house for a week. When they came back, they were so thin that their cheeks were sunken.
Originally Shen Xue's skin was fair, but now it has become three shades darker.
When the mother and daughter arrived home, Uncle Shen didn't recognize them and thought they were relatives who came to visit.
"Who are you? Did you come to the wrong door?"
Liu Pan looked full of grievances and said, "Xiangxi, I'm back."
Shen Xue said weakly, "Dad, we are back."
She is finally back and doesn't have to suffer the bullying in Old Liu's house anymore, wuwuwu!
"Dad, my mother and I had a miserable life at my grandmother's house. They didn't give us any food.
Not only did they not give us food, they also made us do heavy work and tortured us. There was endless work for us to do. Dad, I will never go to Lao Liu's house again..."
Shen Xue cried bitterly when she thought of those days. It was too hard. She had never done so much work since she was a child.
"Pandi? Xiaoxue? Did you go to the mine to dig coal?" Uncle Shen looked at the dark-skinned mother and daughter and suspected that they had gone to the mine to dig coal.
The Liu Pandi used to be quite good-looking, but now she is dark and thin, so thin that her eyes are bulging out. Uncle Shen San looked away. It was really unbearable that such an ugly woman was his wife!
From now on, he had to sleep with his back to her when they lay on the same kang.
"Now you know that things are fine at home, right? Will you two still be naughty?"
The mother and daughter promised again and again, "We will behave ourselves at home in the future and will never provoke Shen Shuyu."
With the comparison, Shen Xue realized how good life was at home.
Although her grandparents were partial, they never called her a loser. Although her two aunts were arrogant, they never hit her. As for that bitch Shen Shuyu, she didn't hang around her, and she didn't take herself seriously.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that her family members were pretty good, at least better than those heartless people in Old Liu's family.
"Now that you're back, just live your life peacefully. Go cook something for yourselves. Once you're full, I'll go to work with you."
Shen Xue was a little unhappy about having to go to work as soon as she got back. She was too tired and didn't want to move.
Liu Pandi didn't want to go to work either. She hadn't slept well in the past few days since she returned to her mother's house. She was very tired, exhausted and hungry!
"Xiangxi, Xiaoxue and I are a little tired. Let's go to work tomorrow."
Uncle Shen didn't want to spoil her, "Why, you can work without eating at Lao Liu's house, but you can't work after you get home and have a full stomach?
In this case, you should go back to Lao Liu's house. Lao Liu's people are kind to you, so you should go there and work like a slave to repay them."
"No, no, no, we're not going back. We're going to work. We'll eat something and then go back to work."
Liu Pandi quickly went back to the house to get some food to make steamed bread.
The steamed bread was ready, and the mother and daughter devoured it ravenously. Shen Xue had previously thought the steamed bread was unpalatable, but now she found it very delicious.
Although they were both steamed corn breads, the ones made by Old Liu’s family were harder to chew than stones. She could only eat half a piece of such unpalatable stuff a day. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy every day, but she still had to do a lot of work.
After they had eaten, Uncle Shen didn't give them a break. "The work bell has rung. Come with me to work."
No matter how reluctant they were, the mother and daughter had to go to work. When they got to the field, everyone was surprised to see them like this.
"Pan Di, didn't you say you were going to take your daughter back to her parents' home to enjoy a good life? How come you've become so thin?"
"Hey, Xiaoxue, why are you so dark? I almost didn't recognize you."
"Pan Di, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but it's inevitable for a couple to live together without quarrels. You're really too angry to go back to your parents' home just because you had a few words with Xiang Xi."
The matter of the mother and daughter returning to her parents' home was spread by Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia, and it became a quarrel between Liu Pandi and Uncle Shen Sanbo. Liu Pandi was a hot-tempered person and felt wronged, so she took her daughter back to her parents' home.
When everyone heard this, they thought Liu Pandi really didn't know what was good for her. Xiangxi was so nice to her, but when he spoke to her a little loudly, she made a fuss and wanted to go home. Such a daughter-in-law was really unacceptable.
Obviously, she was driven back to Lao Liu's house by her own husband, and now she had a quarrel with her husband and went back to her parents' house in a rage. Liu Pandi was really bitter.
Shen Xue felt even more aggrieved. This must have been what the gossipy Shen Shuyu told everyone.
She couldn't bear to see them live a comfortable life, so she would trample on them whenever she had the chance.
There was a vicious flash in her eyes. If that's the case, don't blame her.
