At four o'clock in the morning, Ruolan, who was sleeping soundly, was doused with a basin of cold water.
Ruolan got up from the bed with a start, wiped away the water mist on her face, and angrily shouted at her sister-in-law Cuicui who poured cold water on her: "What are you doing?"
"Sleep, sleep, sleep, that lazy guy Mother-in-law knows "Sleep, you go back to sleep, I asked my brother to take a break, why don't you get up and cook."
Sister-in-law Cuicui stretched out her white fingers and widened her eyes when she saw Ruolan dared to yell at her. He pointed at Ruolan and accused him, and ordered Ruolan to get up quickly and cook for himself.
Ruolan looked at her pink face, which was now the color of pig liver, and felt very angry.
Ruolan has been bullied by this sister-in-law in this family for too long. Usually, whenever she gets angry, she will take it out on Ruolan.
Ruolan touched her hair that was wet after being poured with cold water, looked at the wet quilt, and thought: I just have to be tough today and don't get up or cook. Let's see what she can do.
In fact, Ruolan also knew that the reason why her sister-in-law came to vent her anger on her today was because she was humiliated and had a lot of anger in her stomach.
Her sister-in-law was engaged to be engaged to a family in the west end of the village, and was about to get married, but the marriage was successfully rejected.
Everyone knows the reason why Cuicui was dismissed from the family. It was because the child of that family worked for a wealthy family in the county. As a result, a young lady from that family fell in love with the child and insisted on marrying the child. Only then did he come back and break off the engagement with Cuicui.
The family felt that a young lady from a wealthy family in the county had fallen in love with their son, and their family was completely turned upside down. How could they not hurry up about such a good marriage? So without any regard for shame or anything else, he kicked Cuicui directly.
Cuicui has been used to being domineering at home since she was a child. She is usually spoiled by her mother. When has she ever been so angry? As soon as she received the news, she rushed over to argue with the family, regardless of what girls should have. So reserved.
As you can imagine, the result was that because she cried and made trouble when she arrived, the Li family finally kicked her out with a big stick.
She ran slowly and cursed, and her leg was bitten by the Li family dog. After she came back, she cried to her mother and asked her mother and brother to give her some vent and fight her back.
However, her mother and brother were also bullies. That is to say, they could bully Ruolan at home, but they would never dare to fight outside.
So the old lady complained that her daughter should not act so recklessly and should come back to discuss it carefully.
Cuicui was very angry now: her engagement was broken off and she was bitten by a dog for no reason. Now her mother and brother are still blaming her.
Because she was holding back a fire in her heart, she didn't sleep well all night. In order to vent the bad breath in her heart, she got up early in the morning to pick on Ruolan and poured a basin of cold water on Ruolan who was sleeping soundly. Orchid head.
The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was that Ruolan was used to being bullied by her in this family.
Normally, Ruolan obeys her mother's words, but she is spoiled by her mother, so she also gives advice to Ruolan.
Although Ruolan knew everything in her heart, she was also a well-behaved person and never refuted them. In this way, they who bullied the weak and feared the strong thought that Ruolan was afraid of them, and began to bully Ruolan even harder, not only leaving all the housework to He met Ruolan, and even hit or scolded Ruolan when he was slightly unhappy.
What makes Ruolan feel most uncomfortable is that her mother-in-law often scolds her for being a hen that can't lay eggs. She also often talks to outsiders that the three most unfilial things are not having children, and that she is an unfilial daughter-in-law.
But Ruolan knew in her heart that since she got married, she and her husband Zhang Sheng had not slept together a few times. That is to say, they slept in the same room on the day of the wedding, and Zhang Sheng was drunk.
Later, Ruolan's mother-in-law always called Zhang Sheng into her room. Today she said she wanted her son to study hard, and tomorrow she said she would sleep alone in the room for fear of ghosts. Anyway, there were various reasons for her son to sleep in the room alone. Zhang Sheng went to her room. However, Zhang Zheng is also a foolish and filial person, and he obeys his mother's words.
Ruolan thought: If she is not allowed to have sex with her husband, how can she be pregnant? But at that time, she didn't dare to say anything. She went home and told her mother about it, and her mother also said, "Daughter, this is a woman's destiny. If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog."

But today, Ruolan was poured with cold water, and she was not going to cook for them. She was going to cool them down and see what they could do.
Cuicui roared angrily for a while, and when she saw Ruolan sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, daring to disobey her, her face began to bulge with anger.
She took a few steps, put her finger on Ruolan's head, and yelled: "How dare you disobey me, I asked you to cook, what are you doing?"
Ruolan was also angry, stretched out his hand, He immediately pulled Cuicui's fingers apart and said, "You have hands and feet, why don't you go cook? If you have worked so hard with me here, you can also cook the food." "It's already."
Cuicui saw that her sister-in-law refuted her today and dared to pull her. Her round and red face screamed: "You come to my house to serve our family, and you want me to cook. Why do you think so?" Damn it!"
"Which law stipulates that I marry into your family just to cook?" Ruolan responded.
"You! You! You! How dare you talk back to me? You are rebelling against me!" Cuicui yelled while groping around and starting to look for something.
But she looked around the room and couldn't find anything suitable, so she was going to go to the yard to get the stick.
That stick was a tool that her mother usually used to beat Ruolan. She wanted to use that stick to give Ruolan a good meal today. Thinking of her being beaten with a stick at the Li family, she wanted to take it out on her too. Ruolan also feels like being beaten frequently.
But when she took the stick and turned around to go into the house to beat Ruolan, she found that Ruolan's door was bolted from the inside. She yelled angrily for a long time, but Ruolan didn't open the door.
That's right, Ruolan is determined this time and just doesn't plan to cook for them. Let's see what she can do.
When did that Cuicui feel so angry? She yelled for a long time without asking for the door to be opened. She blushed and roared: "Okay, you dare not open the door, right? If you have the guts, I will go find my mother now." If you can, don't open it!"
said, she looked at the door and still there was no movement, threw away the stick, turned around angrily and went to the main room to drag her mother out.
The old lady actually felt uncomfortable. Her precious daughter was angry at the Li family yesterday. The Li family has eight sons. She did not dare to make trouble. She felt uncomfortable and felt sorry for her daughter.
Now that she saw that Ruolan dared to bully her daughter, her anger was instantly ignited: she did not dare to deal with the Li family, but she never showed mercy when bullying Ruolan.
The old lady didn't even put on her clothes, so she ran to Ruolan's door with her collar open, pointed at the house and cursed: "You mother who can't lay eggs, open the door quickly! Get out of here!"
Old lady Determined, she yelled over, and Ruolan must have opened the door obediently and went to cook in despair.
She planned that as soon as Ruolan opened the door today, she would ask Ruolan to kneel down to her daughter and let her daughter give her a good beating to vent her anger, to see if she would dare to treat her baby daughter like this in the future.
But something was strange today. She yelled at the door for a long time, but the door didn't move at all. Ruolan didn't even open the door.
She was completely angry now. She walked over and banged on the door and shouted: "You are a hen with bad hooves and can't lay eggs. If you don't open the door, I will let my son divorce you."
She thought this was what she said , Ruolan will definitely open the door.
But Ruolan had no intention of opening the door today, because she knew that she would never let her son divorce her. Their family's food, drink, and shit all depended on their own restaurant.
Ruolan's grandfather worked as an imperial cook in the palace, but later his family fell into decline. When Ruolan's father lived, he could no longer cook a few specialty dishes, but he still knew some skills.
Ruolan liked to study cooking skills since she was a child. She also learned some cooking skills from asking around. Before getting married, Ruolan opened a small restaurant in the town. Because the taste was good and the price was reasonable, Usually the shop is always packed, which is one of the reasons why the Zhang family went to ask Ruolan to marry him.
But now, their family relies on Ruolan for all their food, drink and diarrhea. However, she still felt that her family prided itself on being a well-off family, and everyone would tell everyone that her son was taking the exam to be a scholar. If he was admitted as a scholar, he would be a famous person, and he looked down on Ruolan from the bottom of his heart as he walked around the stove every day.
The old lady saw that Ruolan still hadn't opened the door when she saw what she had said. She became furious, grabbed the stick in her daughter's hand, swung the stick at Ruolan's door a few times, and finally left angrily.

Ruolan didn't make breakfast that day. After they left, Ruolan went to the store by herself and dealt with the two of them casually.
Ruolan made up her mind not to cook for them anymore, but to let them do it themselves. It was time for her to give them some pain. Moreover, Ruolan had thought about not giving the money earned in the store this month to her mother-in-law, just to see what she could do with herself.
On the first day Ruolan got married, the old lady came eagerly to check the accounts and asked Ruolan to hand over all the money she earned every month.
Ruolan talked about this when she went home, but her mother always told Ruolan that when a girl marries her husband's family, she becomes a member of her husband's family. You should do what your husband's family teaches you.
Ruolan had obeyed her mother's wishes, but now she felt that her mother was wrong. After she gave the money to the old lady, the old lady bought her daughter silk and satin, rouge, gouache, but she couldn't even buy one for herself Coarse cloth clothes, the old lady said, you are just a person who walks around the stove, what kind of clothes do you need? You can take the rest of my clothes and wear them.
Ruolan couldn't figure it out. She couldn't spend the money she earned, so she retorted once, saying why her sister-in-law could buy clothes but she couldn't.
As soon as the old lady heard this, if Ruolan dared to refute, she shouted with all her face: "Are you worthy?" Even though you smell like oily smoke and my son is willing to marry you, you still dare to compare the clothes of my daughter? Don’t you look at it, it’s green and pink, how about you? Go skinny, go skinny! Want some clothes? Bah! "
Ruolan knew in her heart that the reason why Cuicui is fair and moist is because she usually does not touch Yangchun water with her fingers. Ruolan does all the work at home. Ruolan thought, let her go to the kitchen and squat on the stove for a few times. Let her go to the river to wash clothes in the middle of winter? ? Can it still be pink? She has done all the hard work, and now she is left unworthy?
Ruolan felt extremely uncomfortable!
This time, Ruocui seemed to wake up and decided to They were hard back and forth, Ruolan thought that her mother-in-law would definitely make trouble, but she didn't cook for them. However, it was strange that her mother-in-law didn't come to trouble Ruolan these days. Ruolan finally passed two days. Comfortable days.
But Ruolan didn't know that the reason why they didn't look for Ruolan these days was because they were holding back their misfortune.
Ruolan was woken up early that morning, and her mother-in-law yelled at her and walked to her side. Said: "I told you to pack up quickly, pack your things and get out of here! My son is going to divorce you. "
When she heard about her mother-in-law, Ruolan looked at her proud expression and felt that it was not a joke, but that she was serious.
Ruolan hurried out to inquire about it, and only after inquiry did she find out that it was his husband-in-law. After being selected as a scholar, the daughter of a landlord family in the town fell in love with him and insisted on becoming his wife.
After hearing this news, the old lady smiled crookedly, because the landowner said that he would give her 30 acres of good rice fields in the suburbs as a dowry.
There are 30 acres of rice fields, which the old lady has never seen in her life. With these 30 acres of rice fields, her family will be completely transformed in her life. How can she have anything in her heart? Ruolan directly told her son, stop Wife, marry the landowner’s daughter as the first wife!
Before it was her son's turn to write the divorce letter, the old lady ran to Ruolan's door to vent her anger.
Originally, Ruolan didn't cook these days, and she was suffocating in her stomach. As an old lady who had not been in the kitchen in the past few years, she got into the kitchen every day, squatted next to the stove, and choked. Damn it, she felt very uncomfortable.

However, Ruolan discovered that the old lady not only asked her son to divorce her, she also planned to open her own store.
She wanted Ruolan to get out, but she wanted to keep the shop.
Ruolan started to think, what should I do? What can I do to overturn the old lady's wishful thinking? I need to reconcile with Zhang Sheng and at the same time protect my shop from being occupied by my mother-in-law.
That day, as soon as Ruolan entered the door, her mother-in-law called her to the main room, shouting: "You damn hooves, come here and get the divorce papers!"
When Ruolan heard this, she turned around and ran to call some old patriarchs. come over.
When the mother-in-law saw the patriarchs coming, she lowered her face and shouted at Ruolan, "What kind of monster are you trying to make for me?"
Ruolan looked at the adopted son of her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "Divorcing your wife is a big deal. want justice , Just listen to what the patriarchs say, I said, I don’t want divorce, I want to make peace.” When
saw Ruolan dare to say that she wanted to reconcile, the old lady jumped three feet high in front of the patriarchs. He shouted in front of him: "You hen that can't lay eggs, you Is there any reason? There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the worst is not having an heir. Well, since you have invited the patriarchs, let’s ask the patriarchs to comment. Ruolan has been married to my family for three years and has nothing to do. My son She divorced, isn’t this a valid reason?”
When Ruolan saw her mother-in-law like that, she didn't care about anything, and started to complain in front of the old patriarchs that these old ladies dominated her son, calling her son into her house every night, and never letting her son Everything about coming out to sleep with him was revealed.
When the old lady heard that Ruolan dared to leave her family behind, she became angry. She grabbed a teacup on the table, threw it at Ruolan, and shouted: "You shameless thing. "Can these things be said in public?"
Those old patriarchs obviously I didn't pay much attention to this, but when I saw Ruolan's mother-in-law hitting Ruolan with something, a clan leader said: "Old Zhang family, be careful and don't hit and smash. We are still sitting here."
old woman As soon as he saw the patriarch talking like this, he turned his eyes away: What is going on? Shouldn't the patriarch be facing his own family? Why do they say this, a little bit towards Ruolan?
However, her son was selected as a scholar, so she didn’t care about anything else, and yelled at him at that time: “Don’t yell at me for these useless things, anyway, the divorce letter must be written today, you damn woman, just pack up and leave. "
" Why did you write me a divorce letter? I have already said that it was you who occupied your son in your house and I had nothing to do. So which one did I break? You want to divorce me."
Ruolan's words left the old lady speechless.
She widened her eyes, pointed her finger at Ruolan and said, "You, how dare you be so stubborn? You disobeyed your elders, and you deserve to be divorced because of this."
But as soon as she said these words, another one old patriarch He also said: "This is what you are arguing about. This cannot be regarded as disobedience to the elders."
When the old patriarch interrupted, the old lady became even more angry: "I said you can divorce if you can, why can't you divorce, you old man? Don't point fingers there."
When the old patriarchs heard her disrespectful words, they actually dared to challenge their own authority, saying that they were the old man dictating what to do. They all puffed up their beards and stared, slapping the table and standing up: "I've turned against you, you said? Just quit, who do you think you are? "
That Zhang Sheng was writing a letter of divorce inside. Just when he was halfway through writing, he heard a quarrel outside. He hurriedly walked out. When he saw the patriarchs and their mothers arguing like that, he walked over to ask on the spot.
a The patriarch said to him angrily: I tell you! This divorce letter cannot be issued at most! It's Heli!
Seeing the patriarch's appearance, Zhang Sheng's heart sank: What's going on? Why are the patriarchs turning to Ruolan?
That's right, this is Ruolan's plan in advance.
You know, although the clan leader has a good name, he still has to They are worried about eating, especially since they are all old men. It would be best if they could come to their own restaurant from time to time to have a meal.
In fact, usually, sometimes the clan leaders would come over to have some food, but Ruolan would not let them go.
This time, Ruolan invited them. The small restaurant of his own cooked delicious dishes and promised them that as long as he and Zhang Sheng could make peace with each other, the restaurant would still be theirs. From then on, the restaurant would be a part of them and they could come to eat at any time. Okay.
Moreover, when Ruolan invited them, they were invited one by one. They didn’t know who Ruolan was. When Lan invited her, she thought she was invited to dinner alone by Ruolan.
Ruolan did this just to avoid embarrassment, and because she was afraid that they would not be able to save each other's face if they were together.
In fact, from their point of view, it was counterproductive. In my heart, I really feel for Ruolan. tml0 They knew that Ruolan had made a lot of money for Zhang Sheng's family over the years, and they were quite jealous that Zhang Sheng had married such a profitable wife. The scales in their hearts were already a bit tilted, and Ruolan said this, which made them even more jealous. Ruolan helped Ruolan speak.
At this moment, seeing that Zhang Sheng's mother dared to challenge them, they felt uneasy. The tilt became even worse.
When Zhang Sheng saw that the old patriarchs were angry and had nothing to say, he said at that time, let’s just make peace.
The reason why he was so anxious was not at all anxious. I separated from Ruolan because the landlord’s daughter couldn’t wait any longer and urged her to He asked him to marry him quickly, saying that if he married later, the 30 acres of fertile land would be gone.
After being yelled at by the patriarchs, he went to write a divorce letter
But when the old lady saw this. situation, he said on the spot: "It's okay to reconcile, but it must be clearly stated in the book that the restaurant belongs to our family. "
But who knew that as soon as she said this, Ruolan didn't open her mouth to refute, but the patriarch slammed the table and yelled at her.
Because Ruolan promised them at the beginning, if this restaurant belongs to him, then in the future, They can go there to have a meal and have a meal. Li also knew very well that if this restaurant belonged to Zhang Sheng's family, it would be harder for them to make a sacrifice than to go to heaven. They could see Zhang Sheng's mother's instigating look, so it was not Ruo's turn. Lan yelled at Granny Zhang. They banged the table first, then opened their mouths and said, "That belongs to Ruo Lan, why should I give it to you? "
When the old lady saw that the patriarchs were all turning towards Ruolan, it was unbelievable. Her son saw that the patriarchs had expressed their opinions and didn't say anything. He quickly followed the patriarchs' wishes and gave the store to Ruolan. I made peace with Ruolan again.
Ruolan thought that she would finally get rid of this family and live freely. However, she did not expect that just a few days after her free life, Zhang Sheng's mother actually came to her door and forced her to go back and be with her. My son has a good life!
