Chapter 472: Evil Mother-in-law 18
The Wang family came in great spirit and left in low spirits.

Everyone was filled with anger.

On the way back, the Wang brothers kept blaming Wang Yingying, but Wang Yingying didn't dare to say anything. After all, she would have to rely on her natal family for support in the future, and this time she was in the wrong, which caused her brothers to be beaten by her mother-in-law.

After returning to the county, the Wang brothers were still angry, so they went to the woolen mill and beat up Ma Lao San.

Ma Laosan's face was covered in bloodstains, caused by Wang Yingying scratching him these past few days. Now he was beaten by a group of his uncles and brothers-in-law. Ma Laosan was extremely sad and angry, but had no place to vent.

Qinghe Village.

Yuanchun worked during the day and went hunting in the mountains in the evening. Every day she would either catch two pheasants or two rabbits. Sometimes Yuanchun would use money to exchange old hens with the villagers and stew them for Ma Xiangdong to eat.

The aroma of meat wafted from the house every day, making the neighbors so greedy that they couldn't eat.

Shitou Nai from next door came back with a basket of purslane. Seeing Yuanchun standing at the gate, she called out, "Xiangdong's mother, did your family kill another hen? I can smell the fragrance from far away, and it makes me salivate."

Before Yuanchun could respond, Wang Cui came out and said in a sarcastic tone, "Shitou Nai, if you're greedy, just kill one and eat it. It's no big deal. It's just an old hen. You can just raise another one after eating it. You're so stingy. You can't bear to kill the chicken and eat it, can you?"

Shitou Nai curled her lips and said, "Do you think every family is like yours? We have Xiangdong's allowance to supplement the family expenses, and we have to keep our old hens to lay eggs and exchange for salt. However, Xiangdong has returned home and there will be no allowance in the future. Your family is still wasting money like this, you are really a spendthrift."

Yuanchun sighed and said with a sad face, "Shitou Nai, I can't help it. My Xiangdong just came back from the hospital, and his broken leg hasn't recovered yet. If he doesn't eat more nutritious food, I'm worried that Xiangdong's body will collapse. After all, my Xiangdong is a great hero, and we can't let a great hero come home injured and eat pickled vegetables with us."

"There are only three old hens in my family. I ate one, and the remaining two have to be kept to lay eggs for Xiangdong. Yesterday, I went to Third Aunt's house to exchange an old hen. That chicken is five or six years old, and Third Aunt said it can't lay eggs anymore. Shitou Nai, do you have an old hen to exchange? Exchange one for my Xiangdong. The doctor told Xiangdong to drink more old hen soup, which can help the wound heal faster. After all, he lost a leg, and the wound is bigger than a bowl. It hurts me just thinking about it."

Yuanchun's eyes turned red as she spoke. Shitou Nai couldn't say anything else, after all, no one wanted to lose a leg.

He has lost a leg, so isn't it normal for him to eat and drink chicken soup a few times?

That's a great hero.

It is because of the national treasure that he lost his legs.

Shitou Nai softened her heart and said, "That family has a seven or eight year old hen. I wanted to keep it for the New Year and kill it to entertain guests. Since you want to change it, let the second son's wife go to my house and catch it."

"Thank you."

Yuanchun promptly took out two dollars and handed them to Shi Tou Nai.

Shitou Nai took the money and said, "What are you thanking me for? We are from the same village. I feel bad for Xiangdong because he lost a leg. I watched him grow up. He is such a good child. Alas, God really doesn't favor good people."

Wang Cui followed Shi Tou Nai and went next door.

Soon, she came back carrying a skinny chicken.

As soon as Wang Cui entered the room, she angrily said, "Mom, that old woman Shi is really cunning. Look at how she had the nerve to charge you two dollars for such a skinny chicken."
