Chapter 50: Sweet First, It Must Be Sweet

Zhong Meixian "..."

Gu Jin: "..."

They looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes. No, where did this old saying come from?

Why haven't they heard of it?

Chi Yue had another part to say, "If all else fails, then find a nanny. Who would be so kind as to use their daughter-in-law as a nanny?"

Wen Tang crossed his legs and said, "If anyone asks me to make up for the regret of being filial to his mother, this regret will be buried in the grave!"

"I am a person who spends money if I don't earn it. I just sit and wait for my husband to earn money. I don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. I find it tiring to work in the fields. When I wake up every day, I only think about two words: spending."

"I don't know the three obediences and four virtues. I am lazy and gluttonous. My husband must be more handsome than a male model and I must make 800 yuan a day."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Gu Jin: "..."

When Wen Tang started talking, her little mouth chattered like a jingle. They might not have heard every word clearly, but at least they heard most of it, especially the sentence "Earn 800 yuan a day..."

My goodness, if a person can earn 800 yuan a year, it is a high salary. And if he earns 800 yuan a day...

Zhong Meixian: It’s my fault for not giving birth to a son with supernatural powers.

The old lady has now learned to reflect on herself.

Seeing the two old ladies staring in amazement, Chi Yue added at the right moment, "It's a good thing you don't like drinking."

Wen Tang lazily said, "If you drink Chinese liquor, you will beat up your friends and relatives. If you drink liquor with ice, you will beat up your elders and fellow villagers. If you finish the liquor, your friends will be injured. If you drink the liquor until you vomit, you will beat up your mother-in-law. If you drink five glasses of liquor, all your relatives will be beaten up."

"Wine, it's a good thing!"

Gu Jin: "..."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Now even Gu Shuhe and Lin Jiaojiao became nervous.

Lin Jiaojiao had a melon seed stuck between her teeth and asked nervously, "Uncle...Aunt, do you...do you drink?"

Wen Tang changed his posture and said, "Drink..."

Except for Chi Yue, everyone's expression changed.

But Wen Tang said later, "Hey, I haven't learned how to drink yet!"

Gu Jin: "..."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Zhong Meixian raised her hand and patted her chest, "My dear, why are you panting so hard when you talk?"

Wen Tang smiled and told her, "Mom, those who don't breathe are not alive."

Zhong Meixian "..."

Zhong Meixian quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, that's not what Mom meant..."

Wen Tang smiled and nodded, "I understand. Mom treats me like her own daughter. She definitely doesn't mean to bully me."

Zhong Meixian nodded immediately.

Wen Tang added, "So mom must think what I said is right, right?"

Zhong Meixian "..."

What can she say?

What else could she say?

She could only nod in cooperation!

"Yes, yes," Zhong Meixian said, rubbing her hands and lowering her head.

Gu Jin looked at his elder sister-in-law's lack of control and shook his head and sighed.

It would have been fine if she hadn't sighed. After she sighed, Wen Tang turned the topic to her again, "Aunt, when do you think a good day is right for Yueyue and I to go to your house to play?"

"We know that my aunt is a blessed person. We can go and learn from her so that Mom and Big Sister can enjoy happiness. Don't you think so?"

She didn't even give Gu Jin a chance to speak before she started talking again, "I have to go talk to my three sisters-in-law. They're all women, we can't just keep to ourselves."

"People say that the strong never complain about the environment. Oh, but I'm not like that. Not only do I complain about the environment, I also complain about the strong, because it's the strong who make the environment worse."

Chi Yue nodded. "That's right. We were all doing fine, but you showed up and helped me up the wall. I don't think that's going to work, but I can pull you into the mud and mess it up so that we can all lie flat together."

Wen Tang also nodded, "Suffering from hardships and serving others, this is definitely not the life I want."

"I hate everything I do. There are 360 jobs, and I hate every one of them."

Now there was no need for Zhong Meixian to talk to Gu Jin. Lin Jiaojiao was the first to scratch her head. This was contrary to the education she had received since she was a child. "But aunt, first you have to suffer before you can enjoy happiness!"

"If you don't work hard when you are young, won't you suffer when you are old?"

Wen Tang cracked melon seeds and shook his head, "Jiaojiao, remember, if it's bitter first, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be sweet later, but if it's sweet first, it will definitely be sweet."

"Just like you are eating melon seeds here today. You are young, your teeth are good, and your body is healthy. Not only can you eat them smoothly, but you won't get a sore throat after eating them."

"But when you are old, you may have missing teeth, and not only will it be difficult to chew properly, but you may also get a sore throat after eating."

"Especially those sweet canned ones, you can't eat them."

Gu Jin: "..."

Click me?

Wen Tang continued to nag, "And if you indulge in pleasure at a young age, you will find that you have basically no regrets when you are old."

After listening to Wen Tang's words, Lin Jiaojiao began to think seriously.

Wen Tang thought about it and told her, "But you still have to endure the hardship of studying!"

“This is for your own good!”

"The reason you endure the hardships of studying is not to say you don't want to endure the hardships of life, but to avoid any troubles in the future. Others are preparing for the postgraduate entrance exams, but when you open your mouth, the only words you can say are "Fuck."

Lin Jiaojiao was confused when she heard it, but she remembered one sentence, which was to study hard.

"Yes, aunt, I've made a note of it."

Wen Tang nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy!"

Then he continued to stare at Aunt Gu, "Aunt, our three sisters-in-law are so good, the three brothers must be even better, they must be in charge of everything at home and outside, and spend all the money they earn on their wives. If they don't earn enough, they have to ask their father and mother for help, right?"

Wen Tang didn't even need Gu Jin to answer, he just nodded and said, "Of course they are. They are cousins of Yan Li, so their personalities are definitely not that different."

"If you ask me, we are lucky to have found such good men like them."

Chi Yue nodded, "Of course, if they are not good, how can they marry such good women like us?"

“If a man can cook, he has half as many opponents as he can.”

Gu Jin looked at Zhong Meixian in disbelief and asked with his eyes: My eldest nephew even cooked the meal?

Zhong Meixian avoided his gaze and replied with a look that was neither justified nor confident: Didn’t I tell you, I’m used to it?

Wen Tang also told her honestly, "Yan Li in our family said that he cooks and washes the dishes. As long as he is at home, I don't have to worry about anything."

Gu Jin really couldn't sit down anymore, so he stood up quickly.

She stood up suddenly, and Wen Tang and the others were all confused. "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jin: "..."

She looked left and right, grabbed a few more handfuls of clothes, and stammered, "I... I suddenly remembered that there are still a lot of things to do at home."

Wen Tang immediately said, "It's okay, there are three sisters-in-law at home!"

She also stood up and said, "But it's just right. If you go home to work, the sisters-in-law will be free. We can just go and talk to them."

It was a cold day, and Gu Jin's back was sweating. "No, no, I...I'm going to the fields."

"Yes, I'm going to the fields. I won't go home, not home."

After saying this, Gu Jin didn't stop and turned around and ran out of the yard.
