306 Containing the Brain
Yu Bing acted afraid that Xiao Sheng wouldn’t let her go, so she said anxiously, “That auntie’s house is just ahead. There are people at her house, so I’ll go there. I won’t delay your discussion.”
At this moment, Xiao Sheng turned to Chen Jiang and said, “Mr. Chen, can she borrow your village’s bathroom?” ...
At this point, Chen Jiang couldn’t refuse. His house was still a distance away, so it would be strange if he didn’t agree to such a small request. He could only smile and say, “Sure, I’ll bring you guys there.”
Chen Jiangli started shouting from afar, “Jiang He’s mother, the guest is coming to your house to borrow the bathroom.”
The three of them waited at the Jiang family’s house for a few seconds before someone opened the door. Jiang He’s mother smiled and explained, “Sorry for the delay. I was cooking, so my hands were tied.”
Yu Bing took a step forward and said, “Sorry to trouble you, Auntie. I might have drunk too much water this morning.”
Jiang He’s mother had a round face, so she looked very kind when she smiled. “It’s fine. It’s inevitable when you’re outside.”
Yu Bing followed Jiang He’s mother to the small courtyard. Seeing this, Xiao Sheng suggested looking at the chili plants planted in the vegetable field beside the Jiang family’s house. There were a few vegetable fields beside the Jiang family’s house, which were probably cultivated by the nearby families.
Chen Jiang thought of Yu Bing’s swollen cheek and glanced at Xiao Sheng. He felt that since the man in front of him could be so ruthless to his wife, he wasn’t a kind person. At the very least, he wasn’t a righteous person like the police or soldiers. He hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.
The Jiang family had three rooms. After entering the courtyard, there was a living room directly opposite it. There were two rooms on the left and right of the living room. There was also a large lock on the right that locked the door. The room on the left of the small courtyard was used as the kitchen, and there was a bathroom built from a few cupboards on the right.
Yu Bing ran the water to pretend that she was using the bathroom. When she left the bathroom, she saw Jiang He’s mother waiting for her in the courtyard, so she smiled and said, “Auntie, do you grow chili at home too?”
Because Yu Bing’s face was still red and swollen, her smile looked a little strange, but Jiang He’s mother was used to it. Men in the village didn’t hold back when beating their wives, so Yu Bing’s swollen face made her feel like they were from the same village. She replied with a smile, “Yes, every family plants them.”
Yu Bing pretended to be happy and deliberately grinned, which tug at the wound on her cheek. Then, she hurriedly covered both sides of her face as she hissed in pain.
As expected, Jiang He’s mother’s attention was diverted to that, and she asked curiously, “What did you do wrong? Your man hit you so hard.”
Yu Bing replied with feigned aggrievement, “I felt a little hungry today and wanted to eat meat, but my man thinks I’m spending money recklessly.”
Jiang He’s mother glanced at Yu Bing and pursed her lips. “It’s not that I want to criticize you, but how can a woman be so greedy? After a woman gets married, she should prioritize her man. Even if there’s meat, it’s for the man to eat. No wonder you were beaten up.”
“Listen to me. During the new year and other holidays, women can eat one or two pieces of meat, but you have to leave good things for your men so that you can live a better life. You guys look so young. You guys just got married, right?”
Jiang He’s mother’s originally kind face looked so mean under the effect of the narrow-minded words she spoke.
Crazy! Everyone in the village was crazy!
In feudal society, the east bound women’s feet, while the west bound women’s waists. The entire world had entered the modern era, so those traditions had been abolished. However, some people still had the same backward mentality!
Yu Bing scolded her inwardly, but on the surface, she still listened obediently and nodded. “I just got married a few months ago.”
Jiang He’s mother looked enlightened. “No wonder you don’t know anything. But your man is a little too hot-tempered. Look at your swollen face!”
Yu Bing looked at Jiang He’s mother gratefully. “You’re so kind. No one has even taught me these things before, so I didn’t know. I wouldn’t have been beaten up so much if I had a mother-in-law like you. You even treat your crazy daughter-in-law so well.”
When Jiang He’s mother saw how docile and obedient Yu Bing was, a smug expression appeared on her face. “I’m indeed an easygoing person. I’ve always stopped my son whenever my daughter-in-law was beaten up. Otherwise, how many times would she have gotten beaten up by my son?”
Yu Bing knew how to curry favor with such people, so she chatted with Jiang He’s mother about the etiquette of feudal society. Under Yu Bing’s intentional compliance, the two of them hit it off. Jiang He’s mother found Yu Bing’s obedient appearance even more pleasing to the eye and chatted with her amiably, like a neighbor.
Yu Bing looked at Jiang He’s mother with a regretful expression. “Aunt, you should have let your son marry a normal woman. Only then can she serve the man and mother-in-law well.”
