The two sisters-in-law of Old Zhang's family squatted in the corner, each thinking about their own things.

Lin Juhua curled the corners of her mouth, wanting to ask her if she had returned to her parents' home recently, and wanted to persuade her to visit her mother-in-law more often and chat with her.

But in the end, she couldn't say it. She was worried that her unintentional words would cause the other party to misunderstand her. This sister-in-law had helped her so much before, and she also wanted her to be well.

Being a woman, it’s so hard!

"Juhua, what do you think about me moving my household registration to the village and working in the fields with everyone else to earn work points?"

Lin Juhua blurted out in shock, "Sister-in-law, are you crazy?"

After she finished shouting, she patted her mouth, then slowed her breathing, looked at the other person, and said in a gentle voice: "How many work points are there in a year? Don't be impatient, just listen to me first."

Huang Cuilan paused and nodded.

"Is it enough for three hundred and sixty? That's only counting the weight of the grain. In previous years, even with the autumn harvest spoiling and the wheat bran gone, the finished grain would only be around two hundred and fifty kilograms. It's not three hundred and sixty kilograms for us, is it? And then you calculate the basic rations in the city. How much would you get if you did nothing? Why do so many people want to come to the city? Do you think they're stupid?

And, most importantly, have you ever thought about how quickly you age working in the fields in the village? You're as black as a ghost after one autumn harvest. And when you're older than mom, what do you think your big brother will think?

Lin Juhua was paying attention to Huang Cuilan's expression while speaking. Seeing that she was about to give up the idea, she breathed a sigh of relief. But then she thought about it again and felt uneasy, so she planned to put another rope on the cow.

Otherwise, if this eldest sister-in-law was persuaded by someone with ulterior motives to go support rural development, she would really have to change her eldest sister-in-law. She didn't want another stranger to come into the Zhang family. The three sisters-in-law were all good, and there was no messy trouble.

She continued, speaking from the bottom of her heart, "I used to work in the village, and the child's father worked in the city. One time Jiaojiao came home, and she got angry when she saw me. Do you know what she said?"

Huang Cuilan shook her head.

Lin Juhua smiled and said, "She said, 'Second sister-in-law, we women should cherish ourselves and not treat ourselves like men. You love your second brother and want to reduce his burden, so you work hard on the farm. This idea is not wrong, but things often go against your will. You work so hard, and your second brother will remember it in his heart, but over time, it's easy for people to take it for granted.'"

If you meet a heartless man, after ten years, you will become a village woman and he will become a desk person. Even if he doesn't despise you, his friends will think you are not worthy of him. If a woman gets entangled with you, you will become a real wife, but you are still not worthy of his wife. Wouldn't you be angry?

People are all vain. Not to mention men, even women like us want to find a well-rounded man when we're dating, so that when others talk about your man, we feel proud. And what about men?

They have more opportunities to go out than women, and they meet all kinds of people, some with good intentions, some with bad intentions. If his wife makes him lose face, he won't care once or twice, but if it happens too many times, how can he not care?

As for you, go and dress yourself up, or else you might go out with your second brother, or someone might give you a surprise and call you auntie when they see you.

My mother laughed out loud when she heard this, saying Jiaojiao was talking nonsense, but she also told me privately that what Jiaojiao said made sense and asked me to do less work.

Huang Cuilan smiled slightly after hearing this, "Mom is a good person!"

"That's right! If it were someone else, the daughter-in-law would have killed her, and it wouldn't matter, as long as her son lived a decent life. Have you seen why Dad and Mom have been going to the provincial capital so often these past few months?"

"The child's father. Mother is worried about the child's father."

Lin Juhua was so angry that she wanted to hit her head and glared at her, "What's there for them to worry about when Big Brother is in the provincial capital? With Uncle Guang there, who would dare to touch Big Brother?

Why don't you think about how frugal Mom is? She's always willing to spend every penny wisely. Look, she still eats whole grains and won't even eat fine grains. Jiaojiao left her a big bucket of oil, but she still uses chopsticks to eat it. I wonder how long this oil will last.

After saying this, Lin Juhua burst into laughter. Her mother-in-law was really funny. She didn't know how to enjoy her blessings, and even asked her husband to help hide it from Xiaowu and his wife.

Huang Cuilan knew at once that the chatterbox had changed the subject again. Seeing that it was getting late, she reminded him, "You haven't told me why your parents are going to the provincial capital yet?"

Lin Juhua was so angry that she slammed her hands on the ground and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I've explained it so clearly, why don't you think about why? Dad and Mom always take turns to take Xizi and Maimiao and the other four siblings to the provincial capital. Why is that? Isn't it just to let people know that their eldest son has four children? You girls, don't get any ideas!"

Huang Cuilan looked at her in shock. Really?

Lin Juhua stood up and glanced at her. "Since you're not going to Big Brother's school, I have no choice but to take the child with me. Even Xizi can see through this, but you're still confused. I really don't know what you're thinking."

Hurry up, if you are not allowed to work here, then don't work, it's better to stay at home. We have such in-laws, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a crappy job, right? Cheer up, go to work with a smile, and then we two sisters-in-law will find work on our own. We won't starve to death."

"chrysanthemum……"

Lin Juhua reached out and pulled her up. "Sister-in-law, I'm not good at talking. I can only tell you that we should learn to cherish our blessings. You should have heard about the story of the young daughter-in-law in Dagang Brigade who was divorced and sent back to her parents' home."

This story was a hot topic, and Huang Cuilan was certainly aware of it. She was worried for a while when she heard about it. She was kicked out of her home just because her daughter-in-law sent 20 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes back to her parents' home. A daughter-in-law in her twenties returned to her parents' home, only to be forced by her parents to sell her to an old bachelor who had spent 20 kilograms of cornmeal, and then died after drinking pesticide.

Lin Juhua shook her head. "You should have a clear idea of ​​what's going on. I'll go to work first, and we'll talk later."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work."

Huang Cuilan watched her sister-in-law leave, thought about what she said, and tried to cheer herself up and tug at her lips, but found that she couldn't smile. She sighed secretly, lowered her head and left.

When she walked not far from the union office, she found that there were still people gathered there. She paused, looked into the distance, and finally left.

Arriving at the workshop, Huang Cuilan grabbed her belongings and told her colleagues before leaving the factory. She'd been on duty since the early morning, and now, under the scorching sun, she felt exhausted. She needed to muster her energy and hurry home.

The house was empty. There was a note left on the table in the living room. She picked it up and saw that it was written by Xizi: Mom, I left lunch for you in the pot. Grandpa and grandma went to the village. I am taking my younger brother and sister to the village now and will be back before dark.

Huang Cuilan's mood brightened immediately. Her son and daughter still loved her as a mother. They were probably thinking about what else they could gain by going to the village.

Thinking of this, she went to the kitchen to open the pot, hurriedly finished her breakfast, picked up the hoe and went to work in the yard. Even the children knew that they couldn't be idle, so she was still a mother and had to work harder.
