Jiang Mengxue dreamed that she would return to several decades ago. She decisively sold all her property and filled the warehouse space of the bracelet left by her grandmother.
When Gu Qingbe...
Jiang Dongmei thought about it and felt that it was really hard to say. In the past, the family's money was kept by her mother-in-law. She secretly lent hundreds of dollars to several nephews from her mother's side and still hasn't asked for it back.
As for how her father-in-law Hai knew about it, it happened that her father-in-law got a bicycle ticket at that time and went home to get money to buy a bicycle, but her mother-in-law hesitated and couldn't come up with the money.
Her father-in-law saw that something was wrong, so he rummaged through the drawers and found the passbook at home. He saw that there were only a few dozen yuan left, and there were only a dozen yuan in scattered coins in the box containing the money.
Later, after some questioning, I found out that all the money had been lent to my nephew from my mother's side.
After hearing Chen Hua say that his mother-in-law was beaten badly, the three brothers were very scared when they came home from school. They originally wanted to ask Chen's father what happened, but after Chen's father explained the whole cause and effect, the brothers couldn't explain what they were feeling at the time.
Perhaps the relationship between mother and son began to crack at that time.
In that era, with the brothers at the age where they could bankrupt their father, and they were still in school, did Chen's mother really never consider whether the remaining few dozen dollars would be enough for the family's food expenses for next month?
If Brother Chen had not been almost sixteen years old at the time and had not gone to work in the factory after graduating from junior high school, how could he have supported such a large family, not to mention that his sons were growing up and getting married.
Apart from anything else, it can be said that Chen Hua did not rely on his family for his marriage to his eldest brother. The betrothal gift for Chen's eldest sister-in-law was saved from Chen's eldest brother's own salary. He took into account that Chen's father's salary had been supporting the family's expenses over the years, so he did not ask for money from his family.
Chen Hua saved money for two years after working. Jiang Dongmei didn't ask for any dowry, but spent money to get her a permanent job.
Only Chen Xueliang's betrothal gift was paid by his family. It cannot be said that he had no money. He joined the factory at the age of seventeen and kept his salary himself. His mother Chen would give him some money from time to time. After a few years, he didn't have much, but he had at least a hundred yuan. However, he didn't spend a penny from his own pocket for the wedding.
Chen Hua and his elder brother Chen Yao were thinking about how to reduce the pressure on their parents, while Chen Xueliang was thinking about how to get more money from his parents.
As older brothers, they don’t want to think of their younger brother as being so selfish, but after so many years, how can they not see it clearly?
If he hadn't gone too far this time and asked for five hundred yuan as soon as he came back, Chen Yao wouldn't have been dragged away by his wife without saying a word.
No one spoke after that, and they didn't know what else to say. No matter what, they had to divide the family first. As long as they could divide the family, Jiang Dongmei and her husband would live alone in the future. A family of three with two workers would already be better off than most families.
Jiang Dongmei was mainly angry at her brother-in-law and his wife. If it were just her sister-in-law and her two families, she wouldn't care.
It is inevitable that there will be some conflicts when she lives with her elder sister-in-law, but that is inevitable in life and it is hard to say whether it is right or wrong. If these things happen between her brothers and sisters, it is not a big deal, so there will really be no big conflicts.
But her brother-in-law and his wife are really enemies who never meet. They never come back without asking for money. She and her sister-in-law and mother-in-law have quarreled countless times about this matter. But they rely on their elders and they really can't do anything when they start to throw a tantrum. As soon as the door opens, they say that the two daughters-in-law are trying to force her to death and that they can't tolerate her brother not living at home.
She had ruined both her and Dasou's reputations. Even if others knew the inside story, they would inevitably be criticized behind their backs.
Now I just hope I can move out quickly, and let my sister-in-law face my mother-in-law alone in the future.
After sorting out tomorrow's affairs, they went to bed. Jiang's mother did not return to the room and slept in the same bed with her little girl.
Jiang Mengxue dozed off with her eyes squinting, but still wanted to listen to the excitement. Although it was the excitement at her eldest sister's in-laws' house, she didn't know when she fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept. I felt like I was called up just as I fell asleep. I could hear someone talking outside.
Zhao Yun patted the sisters' quilts and urged them to get up quickly.
"Hurry up and get up, Xue girl still needs to put on makeup and dress up. Someone will come over to comb your hair soon and you haven't finished yet."
I rubbed my eyes, forced myself to get up and wash.
Jiang's mother cooked eggs early in the morning, and Jiang Mengxue ate two even though she was not hungry.
The chef hired to prepare the wedding banquet in the yard had already started working, boiling water, washing plates and cutting side dishes. Jiang Mengxue was so fascinated by him that Jiang Dongmei had to come over and pull her back into the house.
"What are you doing? You want to help too. Hurry up and change your clothes and put on some makeup. Then do your hair."
Jiang Mengxue was afraid of getting her clothes dirty so she kept wearing her previous clothes, but now she obediently changed her clothes.
When Jiang Mengxue put on a complete set of clothes, Jiang Dongmei suddenly felt that she and her sister were not of the same generation, just like those stars in the movies.
Jiang Mengxue didn't use the skin care products and cosmetics in the space, and the vanishing cream was also easily absorbed.
I simply trimmed my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil a few times, and the eyebrow shape is quite complete. It looks natural and beautiful without too much modification using the eyebrow pencil.
I have been using space spring water recently, so my skin is very white and translucent. I put some lip balm on my hand and applied it on my lips, and didn’t do anything else.
Her makeup skills were not very good, and she was afraid that it would be messy and look weird. Every time she put on makeup, it looked weirder and weirder. Today was a happy day, and she didn't want to keep putting on makeup and rubbing it off.
The third aunt who helped her put on the quilt yesterday came and combed Jiang Mengxue's hair. Jiang Mengxue went out to greet her.
At this time, there were already quite a few people at the door, including young girls, young wives, and children chasing and playing. When they saw Jiang Mengxue, they all stopped talking and dared not make a sound.
"Wow, where did this fairy come from? She doesn't look like a real person at all. How can anyone be so beautiful?"
Not knowing whose child said this, Jiang Mengxue looked towards the voice curiously. The child suddenly realized what she said and ran away to hide behind his mother, carefully sticking his head out to look back.
Jiang Mengxue felt a little embarrassed, so she turned around and signaled her elder sister to take out the candies from the box and share them with everyone. How could someone come to see the bride and not have a piece of candy?
Jiang Dongmei held the candy and gave two pieces to each person at the door. Only then did everyone realize that the older aunt was the quickest to react.
"Aunt Zhao Yun, is this your Meng Xue? How come she is so pretty? She doesn't look like a country girl like us. She is even prettier than the city girls."
Seeing that everyone was stunned and praised his daughter for her beauty, Zhao Yun couldn't stop smiling.
"Hahaha, how else can she look? She looks like everyone else. I didn't give her any extra meat to eat since she was little, so she still has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. As for her good looks, that's probably genetics. She's got all the good looks from me and her dad."
