Chapter 29 – The Slapping incident (I) – Part 1

Apart from a lump in the hearts of Lin Qingwan and Yao-shi, initially, they thought this troublesome matter was over. However, they didn’t expect a dumb person to go on their own accord and shoot her mouth off at He-shi.

This person was precisely Wang-shi. 

In fact, from Wang-shi’s point of view, her day went out very bad was unlucky. 

First, she was tired to the death, and with great difficulty, managed to run away and have a breath stealthily. But was red-handedly caught by He-shi and was sent again to the fields. After which, her running away made everyone angry. The second branch and third branch’s wives were allowed to go back and take a rest, but she head-on bumped into Yang laoyezi’s muzzle of gun…. 

老爷子 (lǎoyézi): appellation used to address elderly males/ Old father. 

(Note : I have made a small mistake in previous chapters, I got confused between 老爷子 (lǎoyézi) and 老爷(lăo ye). Though both of them look similar, their pinyin is different, and their meaning is also different. 

老爷子 (lǎoyézi): appellation used to address elderly males/ one’s father. 

老爷(lăo ye): the lord, master of the house. I have corrected this in the previous chapters as well.)

 Usually, Yang laoyezi was taciturn, but he was particularly irritable during the time of harvest. He was always worried that the heavens would not help them and cause rain in the middle of harvest. As such, every time, he would be eager to harvest all the crops quickly and store them in the storehouse. Only after this would he feel relieved. A such, he immensely detested the people who would retort to the tricks to escape from the work. 

After being caught and working tirelessly in the field the entire afternoon, Wang-shi was tired to death. Initially, she didn’t have much thoughts; she was just a little bit sullen, thinking that she was truly unlucky to be caught in the act and throwing herself onto the muzzle of a gun. But, who would have imagined, when Wang-shi returned home in the evening, what her Erlang told her, made her completely explode…

往枪口上 (wǎng qiāng kǒu shàng): literally “throw oneself onto the muzzle of a gun”) bring about one’s own destruction, ask for trouble

 Today, it wasn’t only Wang-shi who was out of luck. He-shi was also actually very unlucky today. Originally, the fourth one, Yang Xuezhang, feeling that there was no meat in the dishes recently, grumbled a bit to her a few times. As such, taking advantage of all the family members working in the fields, she thought of treating her son a bit. 

No sooner had she placed the chicken in the pot than she saw Wang-shi sneaking back. Seeing this, she quickly scolded and drove her away, and in passing, let her deliver the packed lunch along and sent her with Yang Ermei so as to let her watch Wang-shi.

After having lunch, He-shi quickly drove out all the little kids to go out and play. Doing so, she at long last closed the door to enjoy the food at ease.

Who knows how, but when she, along with Yang Xuezhang and Yang Ermei were in the midst of gorging themselves, they found Yang Erniu and Yang Sanniu watching them eat chicken from outside through the windows. As soon as He-shi saw them, she swiftly ran out and grabbed them. Then, after chiding them a bit, she repeatedly warned them and prohibited them from speaking out. 

She assumed these two little girls of the third branch to be reticent just like her mother and were also usually obedient. As such, she drove them out after giving few warnings. However, what she didn’t expect was that it wasn’t just Yang Erniu and Yang Sanniu, who saw them, but even the first branch’s Yang Erlang saw them.  

After all, Yang Erlang was a few years older than the two little girls and knew how to hide himself. Thus as soon as he saw He-shi running out to grab them, he swiftly escaped. However, that delicious smell of chicken kept lingering around his nose all along. He was aware of the viciousness of his grandma. As such, he didn’t dare to ask her and waited for his mother to come back. Eventually, when Wang-shi came, he couldn’t bear it anymore and asked her for chicken… 

After all, kids are young and cannot comprehend all the twists and turns. However, adults can understand at a glance. This is pilfering food behind everyone in the family’s back, ah!! 

Wang-shi was already feeling sullen since earlier. But, this time, it was just right; her rage directly went up to her brain. Not saying anything further, she rushed towards the main room to look for He-shi. 

At this time, Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu were in the middle of taking a bath in their room. After such a busy day, everyone was covered all over with sweat. As such, after returning, everyone would usually take a bath before going to the main room for dinner. 

Just as Lin Qingwan was getting dressed, she heard noises coming from the main room. They were Wang-shi’s and He-shi’s voices. Wang-shi’s cry of rage seemed to be especially ear-piercing…

She quickly got dressed and opened the door to go out. The third branch’s husband and wife couple were also standing by the door of their room, peeking towards the main room.

The door of the main room was wide open. Wang-shi was hopping mad inside while saying something to He-shi, who was sitting on the kang. He-shi’s complexion seemed to be extremely unsightly. However, her appearance couldn’t hide her guilty conscience…

Seems interesting!

This thought flashed across Lin Qingwan’s mind.

It was getting even noisier over there. Everyone was aware that the entire family is present at home now. With the main room being such, it won’t look good if they didn’t go even now. 

Soon Lin Qingwan and Yang Tiezhu, along with the third branch husband and wife couple, entered the main room. Upon seeing the second branch also coming over her, her complexion became even darker, resembling the bottom of a pot. At the same time, Wang-shi was quite overjoyed at the turn of events, with her expressions seeming as if a wronged person running into a just and incorruptible official. And pulled Lin Qingwan and Yao-shi over to reason things out….

“Second dimei, third dimei, you came just in time. You have to judge the things here. While other people were working themselves to death in the fields, on what basis are the people who didn’t go to the fields were getting preferential treatment at home?” Supposedly Wang-shi was also blowing her top, as she spoke such words without filtering.

弟妹 (dìmèi): younger brother’s wife/younger sister-in-law

“…Eh? Every day we go to the fields and work tiringly, but there is not even a little bit of meat in our foods. Apart from having a little bit more quantity, how is it any different from usual times? In other households during the harvest period, even people with poor backgrounds know to buy a bit of meat to nourish everyone’s health. Is our household poor to such an extent? Contrarily, our household is one of the best in the village. If others became aware of the food style of ‘one of the best households of the village’, we would let them have a good laugh…”

Regarding the recent meals in the family, the ever-gluttonous Wang-shi was already dissatisfied since the start. Usually, lao’er would go hunting from time to time and gave everyone a sumptuous feast in the family. That time, when lao’er got married, the house was in a mess. And till the harvest, he hasn’t gone to the mountains for a long while. Apart from during lao’er’s marriage banquet, not even a bit of meat was bought in the house. Coupled with this time, catching He-shi giving preferential treatment in the house, Wang-shi just vented out altogether.

lao’er: an appellation used to address the second child of the family. 

He-shi’s old face became red with embarrassment; however, she also can’t make a fool of herself in front of her sons and daughter-in-law. As such, she could only pull her face and sit there. 

Yang laoyezi had just come back from the field and hadn’t had the time to take a rest before it became noisy as such. He also didn’t know what to say to his wife.
