Liu Cuirong saw the situation was bad and bolted, intending to run.
Yun Erman couldn't let her escape. He grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the house.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, close the door!" Madam Gu said expressionlessly.
Family shame should not be aired, especially since they were at Fu Daqiang's house...
Zhao Guihua shut the door tightly, even pulling the window curtains.
Liu Cuirong had a bad premonition. She smiled at Madam Gu, "Mother, what are you doing?"
"Can't we talk things out properly?"
It was as if she had committed some unforgivable sin...
Little Xi Tian shook her little head helplessly.
Second sister-in-law, you're in for a rough time today.
Ever since they moved, Liu Cuirong had repeatedly pushed Madam Gu's boundaries.
Because there was too much work at home, Madam Gu couldn't spare the time to deal with her.
Now, she would cut out this "toxic tumor"...
"Second daughter-in-law, kneel!" Madam Gu berated.
The authority of the matriarch made everyone tremble.
Liu Cuirong smoothed her braided hair and pouted, "Mother, why are you making me kneel for no reason?"
It was fine to kneel and kowtow during festivals. If mother-in-law was happy, she might even give her some silver...
But if she hadn't done anything wrong, making her kneel in front of so many people, her knees were stiff, and she couldn't.
Let them do as they pleased.
Old Man Yun frowned and tapped the kang table with his pipe, "Second daughter-in-law, ask yourself, have you helped with any work at home these past few days?"
"Your eldest sister-in-law, even though she's pregnant, still runs around, tending the fire and heating the kang, fetching water and chopping wood, busy preparing meals!"
"But you, all day long, you grab a handful of melon seeds and chestnuts and eat them endlessly. Have you ever felt sorry for your mother or your eldest sister-in-law?"
"Since you are a daughter-in-law of the Yun family, you need to show some character. Being lazy and idle all day, how can you have the nerve to stay in this house?"
Old Man Yun rarely scolded his daughters-in-law...
This was an outburst after a lot of suppressed anger.
If Liu Cuirong hadn't given birth to Xiao Bao and Jin Shan, he would have kicked her out long ago.
Not speaking didn't mean he had no temper. If she had been steady and well-behaved, no one in the family would have found fault with her...
But Liu Cuirong slept until the sun was high in the sky every day and did no housework.
When it came to good food and drink, she was faster than anyone else to grab it.
What use was such a daughter-in-law?
The family didn't lack a grandmother.
Liu Cuirong said indignantly, "Then... then can't you just talk things out properly? Why are you arguing?"
"You idiot, kneel for your mother, quickly!" Yun Erman kicked her.
Liu Cuirong stumbled and bumped into the washbasin stand, grinning and bursting into tears.
"Wuwuwu, what are you doing? What do you all want to do? You're bullying me alone, aren't you? Wuwu..."
Liu Cuirong sobbed uncontrollably, tears pouring out as if they were free.
"I gave birth to two sons for your Yun family, and you're still not satisfied? If you don't like me, just kill me, wuwu!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Second sister-in-law, don't you know this family has plenty of sons?
She always thought giving birth to two sons was a great achievement.
If you have the ability, give birth to two daughters!~
Yun Xiaobao covered his face, unable to bear to look at his own mother...
It was too embarrassing, too humiliating.
"Wuwu, I see now. You never thought of me as a daughter-in-law. In this house, even my breathing is wrong! Ugh!~"
As she cried, she almost vomited her dinner.
Madam Gu narrowed her eyes and said faintly, "Since you know we don't think highly of you, you should have some self-awareness. It's fine to have you in the Yun family, but it's even better without you!"
"If you feel like we've mistreated you or starved you, then pack your bags and leave. I've even prepared travel expenses for you..."
A troublemaker could turn a household upside down and make people dizzy.
Madam Gu was determined to kick her out today.
No one could stop her.
Liu Cuirong's eyes were swollen from crying, and she said resentfully, "Mother, why are you saying that? When did I say you starved me? Ugh!~"
Her stomach churned. Perhaps it was because she had cried so hard, she felt nauseous.
Madam Gu snorted, "Second daughter-in-law, you refuse to admit your mistakes and keep repeating them. How many times have I warned you? Don't you have any idea?"
Thinking of her greedy behavior grabbing pig trotters today, Madam Gu was furious...
Sometimes, Liu Cuirong was worse than a child.
"Mother, why don't we... let's just drop it. Second sister-in-law knows she was wrong!" Zhao Guihua said hesitantly.
The house was being renovated now, and the work was busy. Moreover, their parents' energy was limited.
It wouldn't be worth it to get sick over this matter.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you don't need to plead for her!"
Madam Gu's face was cold as she looked at Jin Huaihua, "Go pack her things and kick her out immediately. From now on, you are no longer our Yun family's daughter-in-law..."
Hesitation leads to trouble.
For the Yun family to have a good life in the future, Liu Cuirong must be driven out.
Yun Erman was still young; what kind of wife couldn't he find?
Jin Huaihua didn't move. Liu Cuirong's clothes and belongings were all packed in a bundle, and she hadn't had time to unpack them when they moved...
So there wasn't much to pack.
"Mother, don't drive me away. I'll help you wash dishes and fetch water, help father carry bricks and build houses, wuwu!~"
Liu Cuirong finally relented, kneeling properly on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably...
Little Xi Tian sighed inwardly, truly reaping what she had sown!
It was better to say less and do more work.
Every time it came to this, second sister-in-law's face turned pale with fear, and her usual arrogance vanished.
Madam Gu's attitude was firm, with no room for negotiation.
"Second, throw her things out!"
Yun Erman nodded, picked up two large bundles, pushed open the door, and threw them out...
"Wuwuwu, no, don't throw them! I'm not leaving! Wuwu!"
Liu Cuirong hugged Yun Erman's leg, her voice hoarse from crying.
Yun Xiaobao pursed his little lips. Seeing his mother crying so sadly, he also wanted to cry.
After all, he was only four years old...
Madam Gu glared at Liu Cuirong and pointed outside the door, "Throw her out too!~"
By now, it was completely dark. The villagers slept early, so there was no movement in the entire Dashui Village.
Only Liu Cuirong's piercing wails drifted through the village.
"Alas, that Liu Cuirong must have done something wrong again. Her mother-in-law is teaching her a lesson," Wang Suzhen sighed.
Fu Daqiang pulled the quilt over his head, "She deserves it. She's idle all day long, so annoying!~"
Wang Suzhen nudged him, "Dear, why don't you go take a look!"
This was their house after all...
If Liu Cuirong cried herself to death, they might be blamed.
"Oh, no, no, let her die then!" Fu Daqiang didn't care.
Yun Erman was dragging Liu Cuirong out. Unexpectedly, she slipped away like an eel and darted into the house.
She immediately scooped up Little Xi Tian...
