Chapter 1120: Outburst
Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Outburst
Half a month later, all the grain from the three families was brought in, and the corn stalks from the field were also collected. It was decided that their land would be used to grow herbs next year.
Since they couldn’t plant grain, it meant they wouldn’t have grain to eat next year. So after collecting everything, the father and his two sons went to reclaim the land.
This work was quite urgent. If they wanted to plant next year, they had to prepare the land this year, meaning they had to plow it.
Xiao Jing was at home husking corn, and later she had to hand over the grain as a task.
She had already agreed with Director Feng to hand over corn cobs this year. She couldn’t shell the corn kernels by herself.
Feng Baoshan was fine with this too. They could organize people who wanted to earn money to work during the leisure months in winter with the collected corn cobs.
This made everyone happy, plus they could earn some money.
The Zhao Family father and sons reclaimed about ten acres of land. This was enough for them to eat.
"Dad. Next year let’s plant ten acres of wheat." So the kids could eat more refined grains.
Zhao Tian had no objections; the eldest son had his own calculations.
There was no work to do in the fields now, so they were also at home husking corn.
Sun Yun was stingy, thinking about not directly handing over corn cobs this year, so she sun-dried the husked corn cobs in the yard.
Not many families in the farm had finished. They were quick because they hired people.
More than ten days later, Zhao Qingxiang’s family had mostly finished their work.
Sun Yun was at home shelling corn, while the parents-in-law went to work at the younger brother-in-law’s house. In fact, she wasn’t happy about it.
Once or twice was fine, but she was dissatisfied as time went on.
The parents-in-law never asked for grain from the Second Family, nor had they given them money, yet the old couple still cared about them.
The husband also went, leaving her alone at home to shell corn, which made her even more upset.
She didn’t make lunch, waiting for Zhao Qingxiang’s family of three to return, seeing that the pot and stove were cold, meaning no lunch was made.
"Xiao Yun. Why didn’t you make lunch?"
Sun Yun held back and held back, "Didn’t they eat when working for them? I thought they would provide meals."
This made the three of them a bit guilty. An Lixia sighed and went to make lunch. Sun Yun just kept her head down and continued shelling corn.
Zhao Qingxiang saw his wife had already shelled two bags of corn kernels but didn’t say anything.
At lunch, the whole family was unhappy. Sun Yun held her anger, and after eating, continued shelling corn.
"Old lady, stay at home this afternoon and shell corn."
An Lixia nodded. Her daughter-in-law was clearly upset.
Zhao Qingxiang suppressed his anger, and after eating, Sun Yun continued shelling corn, ignoring everything else.
An Lixia cleared the table and sat down to shell corn too, but neither the mother nor daughter spoke, unlike before.
The Zhao Family father and sons went to rest. Zhao Qingxiang lay on the kang feeling very uncomfortable, thinking he’d talk things over in the evening.
In the evening, when the father and son returned, they saw his mother tidying up alone, and a surge of anger rose inside him.
Seeing Sun Yun still sitting on the kang shelling corn, "You just let mom make dinner?"
Sun Yun’s hands were already bleeding, but she continued shelling and listened to Zhao Qingxiang’s questioning, "Can work for others, but can’t make dinner? I’m not idle, look at my hands. Yes, you have siblings, you care about them, you’re a good brother. But you haven’t finished the housework, going outside to play the good guy.
Did they ever help you? Sure, you’re a big brother. Go on and be a good big brother."
After shouting this, Sun Yun burst into tears. She was also very aggrieved.
Now that everyone has their own families, it’s fine to take care of siblings, but you also have to finish your household tasks.
They have never come to help, and everything at home is done by ourselves.
Also, the parents-in-law live with us now. You can take care of other children without any issues, but at home, it’s just me doing everything, while they as elders go to work for others.
She still thought that if all the work at home was finished, she would go help others. Otherwise.
The household tasks are incomplete, yet we go and help others? Sure, they are nice people, only I’m not.
Zhao Qingxiang looked at his wife crying while working, and all his anger suddenly disappeared.
"Aren’t we bringing in all the grain?"
"Right, you have money, you have abilities. You spend a hundred yuan hiring people, and others with the same amount of land spend fifty, and then you go and work for them."
The more Sun Yun thought, the angrier she got. "Zhao Qingxiang, I’m fed up with this kind of life. Go and be with them."
After speaking, she threw the corn cobs down to the ground.
By now, the weather here in the evening was already quite cold.
She stormed out of the house in anger, ignoring the parents-in-law watching her.
Zhao Qingxiang also chased after her, grabbing his wife who was about to leave the yard.
"What do you think you’re doing?"
"I won’t live with you anymore. I can live alone just fine. Stay far away from you. I’m not serving you anymore, you’re all owed. Let go."
This was the first time Sun Yun had exploded like this in all her years of marriage.
Zhao Qingxiang realized she was really angry this time, hurriedly pulling her back into the house, "Why are you making a scene?"
"Zhao Qingxiang, I’m not making a scene. I’ve thought it through today, I won’t live with you anymore. I can support myself just fine, and take care of the girls."
"What’s wrong with you? Just because I went and worked for them? I won’t go again. Don’t make a fuss, let’s live a good life."
"Live a good life with you? Are you living a good life with me?
Zhao Qingxiang, tell me honestly, have I not lived a good life with you all these years? Finally, I can relax, and I’m okay with spending money, thinking you’re getting older too, shouldn’t let you be too tired, but you go be the good guy outside, leaving the housework to me, working like an ox or horse for others. Why should I care about you?
I can do all these things alone, why do I need you?
Also, all the housework is done by me, I know your mom has it rough, so I try not to let her do chores at home, you’re truly one family, at home I care about you, outside you care about others.
How is it I just skipped cooking for two meals and you couldn’t handle it?
Zhao Qingxiang, if it were you, could you live this way?
They don’t even provide any subsidies to the elderly, fine, I’ll support the elders, but why take my stuff to supplement others? I also have three young women to send to school.
Yes, I don’t have a son. Sun Yun accepts it. I’m useless. But can I stop now?"
Sun Yun made to dash out again, but Zhao Qingxiang grabbed her and pulled her onto the kang.
At this time, the old couple also came in, having heard their daughter-in-law’s words earlier. Zhao Tian was very angry, but he knew in his heart that the daughter-in-law was right.
