Li Rongguo was not motivated, but Dama was.
"I believe in Uncle."
After a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, Li Rongguo no longer wanted to eat. He picked up the brown sugar millet porridge and went into the east room.
Immediately, exclamations and crying erupted from the east room.
Women are made of water? Tian Jing shook her head, she didn't want to be that kind of water.
Dama had snatched Li Min's work.
No matter what Li Min said, it was useless, so she had to go to her sister-in-law.
Tian Jing waved her away, "You just follow her. If she can't do something, you snatch it back. If she doesn't work, she won't be at ease."
Li Zhengguo returned the new tools and called Chen Suozhu to build a bed.
His family had used too much wood this year, and it was fortunate that Tiantian could use her abilities to dry the wood, otherwise, nothing would have been ready in time.
The east lean-to was too humid and not suitable for outsiders to see.
So, the new bed was placed in the kitchen. The new kitchen was very large, and the southern room was almost empty. After moving the cupboard and shelves, there was still plenty of space after the new bed was placed.
Since Li Rongguo planned to leave Koushan Village, he naturally brought his bedding.
Zhao Xiaofang demanded to live in the kitchen. It was not appropriate for her to sleep in the east room. She would only feel at ease sleeping in her own old bedding.
Dama and Xiaomai would live in the east room with Mother Li and Li Min.
Li Min had only slept with her sister-in-law for one night and had to move back. She was a little dissatisfied, but with her elder brother's gaze, she didn't dare to say she wouldn't move, but she could say something else.
"Sister-in-law, what about those seedlings?"
Tian Jing waved her hand, "Don't worry about it. Am I someone who would let others take advantage of me?"
The Li family was busy for another half day arranging the eldest uncle's family before going out to inspect the crops in the afternoon.
Li Rongguo followed closely behind his cousin.
Chen Suozhu felt a sense of nervousness. With such an experienced farmer here, would he lose his standing in his elder brother's heart?
When Li Rongguo appeared next to Li Zhengguo, the villagers didn't think much of it.
However, when they saw through the plastic film that the seedlings in the Li elder uncle's family's shed were withered, they realized that Li Rongguo had left home.
Why would he leave home after only planting seedlings for one night?
Could it be because of the seedlings?
Could there be a problem with the seedlings?
Could it be...
No matter what the situation was, Li Rongguo calmed himself down and ignored everything.
"Zhengguo, when is a good time for me to get a separate household registration?"
"It's now. First, go find Doctor Yang and ask him to accompany you to find the branch secretary and the team leader. Just ask to leave with nothing, only to keep your wife alive and your daughter with food to eat. Don't ask for anything else."
"Also, ask Doctor Yang to come to my house to check on the eldest aunt. Say that the medical expenses can be paid later. Remember, you must be pitiful. If your mother makes a scene again, you kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy."
"Okay."
After half a day, seeing the happy and relaxed smiles on his wife's and daughter's faces, Li Rongguo's heart became even more resolute.
He was a father and had to set an example for his children. Ouyang Lei had already reminded him of this when he didn't know his family's situation.
At this point, moving forward was light, and retreating was a cliff.
With Doctor Yang's testimony, Captain Ou was naturally furious. If a mother-in-law really forced her daughter-in-law to death, wouldn't there be even more bachelors in Koushan Village?
There was more excitement in the village.
Li elder uncle's family was having a dispute over household division.
The reason for the dispute was that Tian Jing had instigated Li Rongguo to separate from his family, wanting to seize the plastic film greenhouse for herself.
Tian Jing smiled and walked out. How could she miss such a big event, the protagonist of the rumors? It had to be personally torn apart to be interesting.
Tian Jing and Li Zhengguo went to Li elder uncle's house?
Hurry up, hurry up and go watch the show.
In Li elder uncle's courtyard, Li Rongguo knelt before Li elder aunt.
Secretary Yang and Captain Ou were scratching their heads. They hated dealing with domestic disputes the most. Li elder aunt was stubborn and refused to hand over the household registration book for separation, and no matter how much Li elder uncle scolded, it was useless.
When Tian Jing arrived, Captain Ou's eyes lit up. If only Tian Jing were the director of women's affairs, they wouldn't have to intervene in such matters.
"Doctor Yang, didn't you testify?"
"I testified." Seeing Tian Jing, Doctor Yang's eyes also lit up. He felt that someone he had given up on was still alive. Did this Tian Jing understand medicine?
"Director Qi is the most skilled at handling such matters. I heard that the Li elder uncle's family's affairs were instigated by me? Since it was instigated by me, then I will instigate it to the end. I dislike leaving things unfinished."
Li elder aunt glared at Tian Jing, "It was you who instigated it! If it weren't for you..."
"Didn't I admit it?" Tian Jing interrupted Li elder aunt. "If it weren't for me, what? If I hadn't saved Zhao Xiaofang, she would have been buried by now, right?"
"That's our family matter, it has nothing to do with you. A dog meddling in cat affairs."
"You are a rat, and I am a dog? It doesn't matter. A dog can guard the house, and a dog is loyal. However, a rat is just an annoying beast."
"You, you're scolding me, you're disrespectful to elders."
Hahahaha.
The villagers who always followed Tian Jing to watch the excitement burst into laughter.
Li elder uncle was furious, "Tian Jing!"
"What are you doing?" Tian Jing looked leisurely.
"You..."
Li elder uncle dared not speak harshly. He had experienced the capabilities of this niece-in-law last night. "Don't take it to heart with your aunt."
"That was my intention, but someone said that your family's separation was instigated by me. No matter who spread it or who deliberately spread rumors, aren't they all trying to lure me here?"
"There's a saying, 'It's easier to invite a god than to send one away.' Since I'm here, it won't be as simple as just watching the show or offering a few explanations."
Li elder uncle became wary. Before he could say a soft word to send the 'god' away, he saw the 'god' turn and shout towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Fellow villagers, all my female compatriots, and elders with a little sympathy, please come in and watch. Go and take a look in that side room."
"Take a look at the place where Zhao Xiaofang's family of four lives, and see the room where a hardworking man lives with his family."
Tian Jing pointed to the side room where Li Rongguo's family had lived and suppressed Li elder uncle, Li elder aunt, and the man and woman next to them with her aura.
Seeing that the four adults of Li elder uncle's family did not stop them, the villagers walked in, knowing that Tian Jing's words were not groundless.
Seeing that several women had already entered the room, Tian Jing spoke with an emotional tone, calling out with feigned grief.
"Looking at the bloodstains on the kang, doesn't your heart feel cold, cold, cold?"
"Yesterday, I gave Dama some brown sugar. Dama felt sorry for her mother and secretly gave her mother brown sugar water to drink."
"Listen carefully, it was secretly given. Since it was given secretly, why did this mother-in-law discover it so promptly? Let's leave this question for us to ponder."
"Let's continue talking about the disaster caused by a cup of brown sugar water. After discovering that her eldest daughter-in-law was drinking brown sugar water, this vicious mother-in-law picked up a stick and started hitting people."
"This mother-in-law is cunning. She doesn't hit her daughter-in-law directly, but the flesh that fell from her daughter-in-law's body – Dama."
"Zhao Xiaofang, in her eagerness to protect her daughter, tried to block it. This mother-in-law pushed Zhao Xiaofang, and Zhao Xiaofang bled. But this mother-in-law didn't care."
"Women are not easy, and no woman is easy, no matter how cruel her heart is, I admit she is not easy."
"Why? Because she is a mother, and giving birth is like going through the gates of hell. She is using her life to continue the next generation for her husband and her in-laws."
"No matter what happened later that made her turn against her child, one cannot ignore the greatness of a mother. But."
Tian Jing suddenly paused. Her gaze swept over the villagers who were 'captivated' by her speech. In their anxious anticipation, she continued to speak.
"But you cannot use your greatness to limit your child into becoming your puppet. Then you might as well give birth to a fool."
"If you want to save face and not give birth to a fool, but you also want this intelligent child to become your puppet, then I can tell you clearly, families with immense power from ancient times to the present have never dared to think like you."
"I say women are not easy, so that everyone present can understand the difficulties women face, and cherish women more. It's not for women to use their giving birth for their in-laws and their hard work for their in-laws as an excuse to do whatever they want in this household."
"Mother-in-law, you should put yourself in your daughter-in-law's shoes to understand her difficulties. Daughter-in-law, you should also consider your mother-in-law's hardships. If both sides can understand each other, the son who is caught in the middle will not be in a dilemma."
"On one side is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side is the wife who gave birth to children for him. Whichever side he helps? In the end, he can only let his wife suffer and let her yield to his mother."
"Then the question arises, when this daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, why does she make things difficult for her daughter-in-law?"
"The reason is that all mothers-in-law believe that their sons should obey them. She believes that her daughter-in-law should take good care of her husband, and she believes that her son is her personal property."
"Her daughter-in-law, for the sake of her husband, her children, and this family, can only endure it with resentment."
"Then, mothers-in-law, please recall how you endured resentment when you were a daughter-in-law. What reason do you have to hate your mother-in-law? Because your mother-in-law also viewed your husband as her personal property."
"Alright, these are profound issues. Even if I say them, you won't understand. I'll say the simplest thing: giving birth to boys or girls has nothing to do with a woman's womb; it has to do with the man's seed."
"You plant a pumpkin seed and expect it to yield a winter melon? You really dare to think, you really dare to imagine."
Boom.
Hahahaha.
The mothers-in-law, who were emotionally drawn into memories by Tian Jing, and the men who had been caught in the middle, were amused by Tian Jing's bold and witty final remark.
Isn't that exactly the case?
