Strict Wife Of The '70s Manages The Household-Chapter 544

Han Jinyu echoed, “That’s right, it’s unfilial to eat alone without your parents behind their backs!”

Gumi in the main room turned pale with fright, but Haotian turned around as if he was being punched. All he wanted to do was rush in, but he didn’t seem to be able to move.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han suddenly slammed the bowls on the table and said with a bang, “Han Jinyu, you really have no conscience for saying that!”

She seemed to have opened the floodgates of counterattack all of a sudden as the words accumulated in her head for many years kept pouring out,? her mouth continuing uncontrollably, “I’m eating alone? This year, our family was given 5 catties of meat and we kept 2 catties. The rest was made into dumplings, a pot of stewed meat with noodles and they are served all on this kang! I also stewed a big pot of cabbage for the other smaller portions of meat, thinking that during the New Year’s, we should be able to have a taste. In the end, the old lady picked them all and threw them into the bowl for your table! On the other hand, the remaining cabbages were picked through by the Second Sister-in-law for an entire night and she couldn’t even find one piece of meat!”

Second Brother Han smiled awkwardly, “Why are you being like this? Eldest Sister-in-law, you weren’t the one who brought all the meat, so you shouldn’t be biassed.”

He wasn’t looking at the situation clearly, so tried to joke to alleviate the tension.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han snorted as her laugh was short and sarcastic, “I am biassed? I have been married for so many years and my life is either working or cooking without a single moment’s rest except to sleep. Our mother was very old when she gave birth to Jinyu and Jinbao, but I was the one who took care of them when they were young! I am the one who takes care of their faeces and urine in the middle of the night! Tell me who is the one who has a conscience!”

“Zang Meifeng, you bastard!” Old Lady Han became angry when she heard that the woman had dared to scold her and her daughter, so she yelled, “How did your mother teach you back at home? You are unbelievably uneducated! Do you even want us to enjoy the New Year’s or not?”

Han Jinyu also felt ashamed, refusing to admit that her Eldest Sister-in-law had ever taken care of her, “Why do you say this? How old are you? Don’t make me laugh. You only took care of me once or twice and it’s because my mother was tired or sick. I can’t believe that you could be as brave as to take credit for something like that!”

Old Man Han didn’t move. He was a little deaf and dazzled since his youngest son was arrested, starting to feel sleepy every time night fell. After drinking a cup of wine, he sat there with his head bowed and snored.

Eldest Brother Han also asked his wife not to talk about these things. He didn’t want her to bring up all those past incidents as it would be embarrassing for this to be known to the public.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han turned her head and stared at him with blood red eyes, “Why? I became a cow and a horse for your Han family and you wouldn’t even let me say a word of frustration? Did you want to suffocate me? I cooked the New Year’s Eve dinner and I made the dumplings. Do you know what your mother said? ‘Ah, Eldest Sister-in-law, pick out the meat and place them for the south kang. The men have tired themselves out for the year and should have a good meal for once, so make sure they have more. We’re women and we do less work, so it’s fine if we eat less. Since we’re women, aren’t we just meant to help our husbands and children?’ “

She wiped away her tears and shook them off, “I’m all for helping men and children, but I should help my own man and children. Why is it that I’m a woman, but she’s not a woman?”

She pointed at Han Jinyu, “Why doesn’t she have to do any work, doesn’t earn work points and is always being served like a rich lady? I serve the meals and my daughter washes the clothes, but what is she doing? Men eat meat at the New Year’s Eve dinner, so why is she here to eat her share? I have worked so hard for a year but my own children couldn’t even eat a bite of it!”

Han Jinyu jumped up and was about to hit Eldest Sister-in-law Han, “Are you crazy? I am the biological daughter.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Han slapped her unceremoniously, “Get out of here, you bastard! You biological daughters and sons are family, but daughters-in-law and granddaughters are outsiders, is that it? Are we not as good as pigs and dogs to all of you?”

Hearing her scolding everyone like this, Old Lady Han immediately yelled, “Eldest, are you a dead man now? Hit her!”

Hearing that she would have a man hit her and trample over her pride, Eldest Sister-in-law finally broke mentally. She shouted, “Damn it, I quit! No one deserves to eat!”

As soon as she grabbed the bowl of vegetables, she threw it towards the south window sill. The bowl hit the window sill, but the soup and vegetables splashed all over the old couple, waking Old Man Han who was still snoring.

“Huh? What’s going on, what’s going on?”

“Old One, Old Two and Old Three, quickly take the rope and tie up this shrew!” Old Lady Han’s eyes were red as she grabbed her crutches and beat Mrs. Han.

Eldest Sister-in-law Han’s eyes were also red. Her hair was dishevelled like crazy, but she grabbed the edge of the dining table with both hands and pulled it violently, “Go to Hell!” 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩

The dining table, together with the bowls and plates on it, all fell to the ground!
