Chapter 62 The Tender Love
"Mom! My second sister-in-law is right. I am too wasteful to burn the firewood. Since the firewood is brought back by my two elder brothers, I should follow them to collect the firewood tomorrow."
Liu Cuihua interrupted her immediately: "There are men in the family. Why should women do it? Don't take Tian's words to heart. Just see how I'm going to beat her, the troublemaker!"
Then, she lifted the thick door curtain and walked out, shouting at Tian Xiuniang in the yard: "What the hell are you yelling here? You are the one who keeps making noise every day."
Tian Xiuniang now felt Su Jiuyue was really scheming. Su would go to Lin every day if she was free, and Tian didn't know what Su had done to Lin. Because if Tian and her elder sister-in-law burned the firewood like Su, Lin would scold them in the yard for a long time.
But now Su burned a lot of firewood, Lin had no reactions as if she were blind.
Tian Xiuniang was full of anger, and she had to say something at this moment to argue with Lin. So she quarreled: "Mom! I think we should save some firewood, since it's snowing heavily now and it's difficult to go to the mountains for the wood. How can we burn so much firewood like Su? She burns the firewood as if it is endless in our home!"
"I ask her to burn the wood. Then? What else do you want to say?" Liu Cuihua said directly.
Tian Xiuniang's eyes became widened because of anger, and it took a long time before she could say a word. She replied: "Mother! You can't be like this! Why are you so partial?!"
Su Jiuyue had been accustomed to noticing things and being tactful since she was a child. Now that she saw this argument, she was afraid that if she didn't mediate the two, there would be a real conflict.
Therefore, she hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Tian Xiuniang's sleeve and said: "Mom, and my second sister-in-law, I'll go get firewood later."
Hearing what Su had said, Tian Xiuniang frowned, raised her chin and looked at her, saying: "I don't understand, my minor sister-in-law. What are you doing in your house? Why do you burn so much firewood?"
Su Jiuyue, standing behind Liu Cuihua, smiled embarrassedly and said: "According to the prescription that doctor Huang has given to Xiyuan earlier, I have to use garlic sprouts as the guiding drugs, so I try to grow garlic sprouts by myself."
Tian Xiuniang walked over and intended to touch Su's forehead. She said: "Let's see if you have a fever and lose your mind. You are planting garlic sprouts in winter? Isn't this a waste of things?"
Su Jiuyue didn't acknowledge it, so she took a step back, avoided Tian Xiuniang's touch, and explained for herself: "My second sister-in-law, I'm fine and I do not waste anything. The garlic sprouts have already sprouted, and they can be picked in a few days."
Other people in the room also heard the quarrel in the yard. Wu Dacheng, who had been reserved all the time, said uncommonly: "Tomorrow I will go to the mountains for much firewood, so stop arguing."
As soon as Wu Ercheng heard his elder brother's words, he also said: "To treat my little brother, I will also collect much firewood tomorrow."
After speaking, he even glared at his wife and said: "Stop it."
Tian Xiuniang was also very angry with him. She felt so much grievances, so she turned around and ran into her room.
Su Jiuyue was about to follow Tian to comfort her, but Wu Ercheng stopped her and said: "You may do your own work. I'll go and comfort her."
Standing in the courtyard, Su Jiuyue could vaguely hear the talk from Tian's room.
"Fine. You shit! Am I looking for troubles? Who am I for? It's snowing so heavily, and you still have to go out to collect firewood?! They don't care about you, but I do! How can you still blame me?!!"
Su Jiuyue also could hear vaguely how Wu Ercheng comforted Tian. He said: "I know you are doing it for my own good... It's all my fault. You can beat me if you are angry..."
