The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 133 The Threshing Floor Incident

Xu Si was happily dreaming of marrying a girl from the prefectural city.

A person suddenly appeared in the threshing ground.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Chen Su-fen.

"Sister-in-law."

"Auntie."

"mother"

Lu Zhaozhao, Gu Yaozu, and Man'er greeted Chen Sufeng.

"Zhaozhao, why are you up so early? Why didn't you sleep in a little longer?" Chen Sufeng asked with a smile.

"I can't sleep, so I'm going to the fields to watch the wheat harvest." Lu Zhaozhao smiled, revealing a set of snow-white teeth.

Chen Sufen couldn't help but laugh. What's so interesting about harvesting wheat? She's a girl from the prefectural city after all; she's curious about everything.

"Man'er, has your grandma gotten up yet?" Chen Sufen asked.

"I'm up. Grandma fed the pigs and made breakfast," Man'er said.

Chen Sufen nodded.

“Alright, you two go watch the wheat harvest. Be careful not to cut your feet on the stubble.” Chen Sufeng gave Lu Zhaozhao a thoughtful reminder, and then instructed Man’er and Yaozu, “You two take Aunt Zhaozhao on the good roads and don’t take the difficult ones.”

Man'er and Yaozu agreed and led Lu Zhaozhao to continue running towards the wheat field.

Distracted by Chen Sufeng, Xu Si hid behind a haystack.

Watching Lu Zhaozhao run away, he felt a surge of hatred towards Chen Sufeng.

It was all because of this eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family that she ruined her plans.

He had waited so long for this opportunity, and now it's been ruined. Who knows when he'll get another chance?

Because Xu Si was hiding behind a haystack, Chen Sufeng did not notice him.

While helping the Liu family harvest wheat, Chen Sufeng was thinking about the pigs at home and her mother-in-law's breakfast. Seeing that the Liu family had almost finished harvesting the wheat, she told Zhao Shi that she was leaving the wheat field to go home to feed the pigs and cook.

When they arrived at the threshing ground, they met Lu Zhaozhao and others. They learned from Man'er that the pigs had been fed and that their mother-in-law had prepared breakfast.

Then she wasn't in a hurry to go back.

On the threshing floor, some of their own wheat had not yet been threshed. After a night of dew, the wheat was a little damp. Seeing the sun rising, Chen Sufeng picked up a fork and spread the wheat out to dry in order to prevent the grains from getting moldy.

She thought that if she did more work, her husband, Gu Dahan, would have an easier time.

Just then, she saw a figure emerge from behind the haystack.

Chen Su-fen was startled, thinking it was someone stealing wheat.

Wheat theft occurs in almost every village during the wheat harvest season every year, and the Gu family has been robbed before.

To prevent the wheat from being stolen, the brothers Gu Dahan and Gu Dashu took turns sleeping in the threshing ground. Chen Sufeng wondered if the wheat thieves had been lying in ambush all night, waiting for the threshing ground to be deserted in the early morning to steal the wheat.

"Who's there?" Chen Sufen asked, holding her fork.

Xu Si hid behind the haystack and remained silent.

“Come out, or I’ll call for help,” Chen Sufeng said.

Xu Si gritted his teeth and emerged from behind the haystack.

When Chen Sufen saw Xu Si, she was even more frightened than when she saw a wheat thief.

"Xu Si, why are you hiding there?" Chen Sufeng asked, glancing at Liu's wheat field in the distance to bolster her courage.

“My threshing ground is here too, why can’t I be here?” Xu Si said nonchalantly.

Seeing Xu Si's furtive behavior, Chen Sufen thought of the slap he had given her last time he touched her, and wished she could kill him.

There was no one in the threshing ground at that time, and no one on the surrounding roads either.

Chen Sufen, holding a fork, tried to avoid Xu Si and head home.

"Sister-in-law Su Fen, which family does your girl from the prefectural city belong to? She's so pretty." Xu Si glanced towards the Liu family's wheat field in the distance, where he could see Lu Zhaozhao's blurry figure. Xu Si was extremely unwilling; if Chen Su Fen hadn't suddenly appeared, he would already be rolling around in the haystacks with Lu Zhaozhao.

Chen Sufen's mind went blank, and she instantly understood.

It turns out that this bastard had followed Lu Zhaozhao here.

Why did he follow Lu Zhaozhao? Isn't that obvious?

Chen Sufen broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, she ran into her. If Lu Zhaozhao had gotten into trouble in Qinghe Bay, even the Gu family combined wouldn't have been able to pay for it.

Lu Zhaozhao is only a little girl, about the same age as Tao Hua, yet Xu Si doesn't even let her go.

This scoundrel is so rotten he should go to the deepest hell.

Fortunately, she encountered the disaster and it didn't happen; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Xu Si, I advise you not to covet what you shouldn't be thinking about. If you mess with the Lu family, you won't have a good outcome," Chen Sufeng said with a stern face.

“We’re all peasants. If your family can eat swan meat, why can’t I?” Xu Si casually pulled out a straw and put it in his mouth, squinting at Chen Sufen.

In the past, Chen Sufen was worn down by Tong Dajiao, making her look dark, thin, and old enough to be considered her sworn sister.

He had no interest in the former Chen Su-fen.

But Chen Su-fen is very different now compared to before.

Wearing bright clothes, she looked fairer and more elegant, exuding the mature charm of a young woman. In Xu Si's eyes, although she couldn't compare to Lu Zhaozhao's youthful beauty, she was not far off from the clever wife Liu Qiaoyun.

Last time, he couldn't resist touching Chen Sufen after getting out of Grandpa Xu's car. Now that Lu Zhaozhao has run far away, Chen Sufen is standing right in front of him, reigniting his desire.

Since Chen Sufeng interrupted his good time, and he couldn't have Lu Zhaozhao, he could settle for Chen Sufeng instead.

He had to avenge the humiliation inflicted on him by Tong Dajiao and Gu Taohua, the public humiliation Tong Dajiao caused his mother on the riverbank, and the fact that the Gu family had harvested too much of his wheat.

Unable to harm Tong Dajiao and Gu Taohua, he targeted Chen Sufeng instead.

Who made Chen Sufeng Tong Dajiao's daughter-in-law?

Thinking this, Xu Si moved closer to Chen Sufen.

Chen Sufeng felt a chill run down her spine and wanted to get past Xu Si and leave the wheat field.

"Sister-in-law Sufen, don't go!" Xu Si started his lewd flirting mode.

That lewd face made Chen Sufen want to vomit.

Chen Sufen raised her fork and aimed it at Xu Si.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Si grabbed the fork and pulled it forward hard. The fork in Chen Sufeng's hand was snatched away by Xu Si. The inertia brought by the huge pull made Chen Sufeng rush forward, and she almost lost her balance.

"Xu Si, I'm calling for help."

Xu Si grabbed Chen Sufen's hand, and Chen Sufen cried out.

Unfortunately, it was still early, and there was no one around the threshing ground.

Even if there were people in the distance, they couldn't hear Chen Sufen's shouts.

Xu Si covered Chen Sufeng's mouth with one hand and dragged her behind the haystack with the other.

Chen Su-fen resisted desperately.

Liu Yue'e's niece, Liu Xiuxiu, was carrying a basket to deliver water to her family members who were working in the fields when she arrived at the threshing ground and heard the sounds of fighting.

She heard Xu Si's voice and saw Chen Sufeng's figure, which frightened the ten-year-old girl so much that she ran wildly towards the Gu family.

"Grandma Tong, Grandma Tong"

Liu Xiuxiu encountered Tong Huaqiong, who was carrying a pitchfork and heading to the threshing ground to turn over the wheat for drying, at the Gu family's door.

"In the threshing ground, Xu Siman'er's mother..." Liu Xiuxiu was flustered and didn't know how to organize her thoughts.

Tong Huaqiong instantly understood Liu Xiuxiu's broken words, grabbed her fork, and ran wildly towards the threshing ground.
