Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 36 Beating the Son

Li Yuegui, who was said to be stupid, was now in her room applying ice to her face with a handkerchief soaked in cold water.

"Mom, mom, that dead cripple and the others are eating meat again. This time they are eating pheasant, pheasant. I want to eat meat, I want to eat pheasant meat." Wei Aiguo, a fat boy with a face full of flesh, walked in shouting.

He sat down next to Li Yuegui.

He is the fourth son of Wei Laosan and Li Yuegui. He has been sweet-mouthed since he was a child and is spoiled by his grandmother Li Hongying. Whenever there is something delicious, Li Hongying will give it to him first, which is why he has become so fat and white.

"Where is it? Where can I find pheasant meat?" Li Yuegui, who hadn't heard the previous words but only heard the mention of pheasant meat, looked at her son with shining eyes and asked, "Where is the pheasant meat you mentioned? Hurry up and bring it out for me to try. I didn't eat enough for lunch or dinner, and I'm starving."

"The damn cripple and the others are eating." Wei Aiguo grabbed Li Yuegui's arm, "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat meat. I want to eat pheasant."

When Li Yuegui heard that Wei Jingyuan and the others were eating pheasant, she immediately became envious and jealous.

The light in his eyes instantly went out.

"Didn't you already eat most of the meat in the porcelain bowl at noon?" Li Yuegui looked at her son's chubby face and patted him. "You heartless little thing, you ate most of the meat in the porcelain bowl all by yourself, and didn't even think of leaving a piece for me and your dad."

That was half a bowl of meat. She saw it clearly. There was not a piece of potato or cabbage mixed in it. It was all meat.

No one else got to eat any of it; it all went into her son's stomach.

When she came back to get the money, she saw the porcelain bowl on the small table in the room and realized that her son had sneaked into Wei Jingyuan's room while they were making a fuss and stole most of the meat in the porcelain bowl and ate it.

"I thought about saving some for you, but the meat was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it. I finished it in no time." Wei Aiguo looked unsatisfied and smacked his lips to savor the taste.

"If your grandmother knew that you ate most of the meat in the porcelain bowl by yourself, she would beat you." Wei Laosan frowned and lay on the kang, looking at his son's useless appearance.

I want to sigh.

He didn't eat enough at noon, worked all afternoon, and had no food to eat at night. He just drank two bowls of egg cake soaked in boiled water. Now he was tired, hungry and upset.

“我才不怕，奶奶最爱我了，有好吃都是给我吃，知道我吃了大半碗肉，奶奶只会夸我厉害，才舍不得揍我。不像妈，大哥买回来的鸡蛋糕都要藏着，偶尔才给我吃一块。”魏爱国有恃无恐，顺便抱怨一下自己妈。

Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Oh right, I'll go tell grandma that I didn't eat enough tonight and I'm hungry. Ask her to ask that dead cripple to get us some pheasant meat."

"Dead cripple" is what Wei Aiguo called Wei Jingyuan.

As he said this, he stood up and went to find his grandmother who loved him the most.

"Come back here." Wei Laosan stood up, quickly grabbed Wei Aiguo's collar and pulled him back, and made him sit back on the kang.

"Dad, why are you holding me? Let me go, let me go quickly." Wei Aiguo shouted.

"Don't go looking for your grandma," Wei Lao San shouted. "We're building a new kitchen and toilet today. Your grandma's been working all afternoon and she's exhausted. When I left her room, she was still upset, applying a facial mask in her room while cursing Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan."

Asking his mother for chicken soup at this time would only add fuel to the fire. Furthermore, Wei Jingyuan couldn't make the final decision regarding the Second House; Tao Qiuyi was the one who could.

"Grandma, will there ever be a day when she doesn't curse those dead cripple guys?" Wei Aiguo didn't care about that, and he didn't need to care. All he wanted now was to eat pheasant meat, mushrooms, and drink pheasant soup.

"Dad, I'm going to go find grandma and ask her to ask that cripple to give us the pheasant meat. Please let me go quickly. If you go too late, the cripple and the money-loser will eat all the pheasant meat."

When he returned they were already feasting on pheasant and mushrooms.

In the past, he would have rushed in and grabbed the pheasant meat and eaten it, without having to come back for help. But today he didn't dare to do so, because he saw with his own eyes that little brat beating his grandmother, his mother, and his aunt.

That little guy is very good at fighting, so he doesn't dare to mess with him.

"I said you are not allowed to go." Wei Laosan was already upset, and his son was still so disobedient, so he slapped Wei Aiguo on the fat face.

"Dad, you hit me." Wei Aiguo cried.

"Why did you hit your son, Third Brother?" Li Yuegui stood up and scolded Wei Third Brother, hitting him in the face with the iced handkerchief. "The child just wanted to eat some meat. If it weren't for that little idiot Tao Qiuyi, and they stewed the pheasant meat so deliciously, would the child be so greedy?"

"You don't have the ability to go to the mountains and catch a pheasant and stew it for your son, and you won't allow your son to find a way to eat the pheasant himself?"

"Besides, Wei Jingyuan is the younger generation, and Mom is the elder. Isn't it right for Mom to ask him for some food as a sign of filial piety? As for who Mom gives the food to, Wei Jingyuan has no say in it."

Wei Laosan was so angry that he laughed at her twisted logic. He didn't have the ability to catch pheasants in the mountains to feed his son, but he was reasonable.

"You forgot that we just separated at noon today. The separation document clearly states that after the separation, mother's retirement support will belong to us and my eldest brother. We can't use mother's reputation to blackmail Jingyuan and my fourth brother." After saying this, Wei Lao San sneered.

"You still want Jing Yuan to feed me? You're dreaming!"

"A written document can transcend family ties. Mother gave birth to Wei Jingyuan's father and is Wei Jingyuan's grandmother. Wei Jingyuan is mother's grandson. He should respect mother. If he dares not to respect mother, he is disobedient and unfilial and will be criticized." Li Yuegui didn't take the written document seriously at all.

"You and Big Brother are the same. That little bastard Tao Qiuyi asked you to sign a document, so you signed it. Aren't you stupid?"

"We gave them the money to buy the house in front of all the neighbors. Without a written receipt, would they dare to deny it? Without a signed receipt, if Wei Jingyuan were to die in an accident one day, those two houses would still be ours."

"You..." Wei Lao San was so angry at her unreasonableness that he took off the handkerchief from his face and threw it on the kang. "I don't want to reason with a fool like you. If you indulge him, you will suffer sooner or later."

"My son is so smart. With us and his mother protecting him, how could he suffer any harm?" Li Yuegui didn't believe it.

He said she was unreasonable, so she stopped being unreasonable, because he knew how much advantage she had taken from him by being unreasonable.

Wei Lao San snorted coldly and reminded, "They say that scars heal and the pain is forgotten. The scar on your face hasn't healed yet and you've already forgotten the pain. Tao Qiuyi even dared to hit his mother. How capable are you to defeat Tao Qiuyi and protect him?"

"And don't forget, we still have to go to Jing Yuan to buy that house tomorrow. How could he be happy if your son brought his mother to steal the food from his bowl? If we offend him now, and we go to him again to buy the house tomorrow, if I were him, I would definitely refuse to sell it."
