Reborn in the 1980s: Old Madam Abandons her Ungrateful Children and Husband

In her previous life, Old Lady Li toiled her entire life for her family. She raised three children and brought up her grandchildren, never enjoying a single day of peace. Yet, her sacrifices were n...

Chapter 5 She is not going back. Whoever wants to clean up the house can do so.

"Gu——" Lin Xiaoyu's stomach made a long rumbling sound.

"Hungry?"

Lin Xiaoyu blushed and nodded.

Old Mrs. Li felt in her pocket and took out a red note, which was a red note prepared for Liu Qin to change her lipstick. There was twenty dollars in it, and she took out a Great Unity note.

"Go to the cafeteria and get some food."

Lin Xiaoyu didn't answer, "Brother said he would bring food."

Old Lady Li sneered, "We are starving to death, and your eldest brother may not be able to send us anything. Go buy some meat. It may be more expensive without a ticket."

The three masters were all at home, enjoying delicious food and fish, and ignored their mother who was eating porridge in the hospital.

Lin Xiaoyu took the money to the hospital cafeteria, borrowed a lunch box from the cafeteria, ordered a plate of stir-fried cabbage and a plate of braised pork, and bought four large steamed buns.

The total cost was RMB 1.5, and Lin Xiaoyu returned the remaining RMB 8.5 to Old Lady Li.

Old Mrs. Li put the money back into her pocket and sat on the bed to eat with her daughter.

After seeing off the last guest, it was already 4pm. The neighbors had all moved back the tables and chairs they had borrowed from their homes, leaving only the dishes and chopsticks waiting to be washed and returned.

The dishes and chopsticks were placed in two large wooden basins and piled up at the kitchen door. The yard had not been swept, and the kitchen and the room were in a mess and had not been cleaned up.

"I'm so tired after working so hard for a while." Lin Cheng slumped in the deck chair.

Lin Guodong also walked over and sat down. Suddenly he remembered something and slapped his forehead, "Oh, I forgot to bring food to Mom."

After returning, he was busy with the banquet, and after the meal he was busy seeing the guests off, and he even forgot about delivering the meal.

Lin Yongnian's mouth drooped, pulling the wound on his face, and he grimaced in pain, "Hiss, your mother has no money on her. She knows how to buy food. She won't starve to death."

Lin Guodong thought about it and said, "Maybe."

"Lao Lin." Aunt Zhao, the neighbor, walked to the door. "I'm here to get my bowls. I need them tonight."

At noon, we had a meal at the Lin family, but we couldn't use bowls at home. At night, we had to eat at home, so we had to use bowls.

"Bowls? It seems the bowls haven't been washed yet?" Lin Yongnian looked at his eldest son.

Lam Kwok Tung: "No, right..."

Ask him what he is doing, washing dishes is none of his business.

Aunt Zhao frowned, "There are so many people in your family, and no one is washing the dishes yet. Are you planning to wait for Shuping to come back and wash them?"

This person was so angry that she fainted and was sent to the hospital, but this whole family is still waiting for her, a patient, to come back and wash the dishes. How heartless she is!

Shu Ping always praises her sons for being capable and filial. How can they be filial? She goes to the hospital, but no one worries about her. No one goes to the hospital to see her, and they wait for her to come back to clean up.

Lin Yongnian: "Who wants her to come back to wash the dishes? She's busy. Boss, call your wife to wash the dishes so we can return them to the neighbors."

Zhang Jiao heard her father-in-law asking her to wash the dishes in the room. She realized that because of Liu Qin's betrothal gift, she got off the car red, who was taller than her, so she immediately picked up her little leather bag, picked up her son and walked out.

"Where are you going now, wife?" Lin Guodong stood up.

Zhang Jiao said sarcastically with a straight face: "No one in this family respects me, so of course I have to go back to my parents' home."

Lin Yongnian was confused. "My eldest daughter-in-law, what are you talking about? Who in this family looks down on you?"

"Yes." Lin Cheng also said.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she immediately leaned against the door frame to eat the melon.

"You are my mother-in-law." Zhang Jiao said, "How much do I give as a dowry when I marry my eldest brother, and how much as a wedding gift when I get off the car. You two old people gave Liu Qin a dowry of 888 and a wedding gift of 200. Don't you look down on me and think I am not as good as Liu Qin?"

"Since you look down on me, I'm leaving." Zhang Jiao said, and walked away holding the child.

If I don't take advantage of the situation to leave now, do I have to stay home and clean up?

Lin Guodong was stunned for three seconds, then he ran after her, "Wife, don't leave."

He doesn't stay at home. If he stays at home, he has to wash dishes.

Lin Yongnian was completely bewildered. He did not expect that he would offend his eldest daughter-in-law and send her back to her parents' home because of the betrothal gift to his second daughter-in-law.

Aunt Zhao was a wise person. "Oh, your eldest daughter-in-law wants you to make up for the shortfall in the betrothal gift."

Lin Yongnian frowned, "The money in the family has been almost spent on the second son's marriage, so where can we get the money to supplement her? Besides, the four hundred yuan that her family wants for the betrothal gift was not proposed by us."

In fact, there was still some money at home, but he was reluctant to give it all to his eldest son and his wife.

Aunt Zhao: "No matter who proposed it, the difference is so big that no one would feel happy. As the old saying goes, we are not afraid of having too little but of having unequal distribution. We are not afraid of having too little but of having unequal distribution."

If it were her parents-in-law, she would be unhappy if they gave her less dowry than her sister-in-law. So even though her sister-in-law married four or five years later, they gave her the same dowry.

Lin Yongnian: “…”

Lin Jianshe, who had been flirting with Liu Qin in the new house for a while, came over and said, "Dad, my sister-in-law is also petty, don't spoil her. In a few days, she will come back in disgrace."

Lin Jianshe thought her sister-in-law was too nosy and it was none of her business whether his wife's bride price was high or whether she got married or married, but she even made a fuss about it.

Wouldn't this make things difficult for the couple?

As for his eldest sister-in-law's two sisters-in-law, both of them are not easy to deal with. How could they tolerate her staying in her family's house for too long? If she eats half a bowl of rice more, she will probably be looked down upon.

It really has a headache. Lin Yongnian touched his head.

"Hey, don't just sit there, wash the dishes and return them to me." Aunt Zhao urged again.

Old Man Lin looked up at Lin Jianshe, who took a step back and said, "The groom and the bride are the first to live their lives after getting married."

Aunt Zhao kept shaking her head. The men in the Lin family were all lazy. It was all because Li Shuping took too good care of them.

Having lived in the same compound for so many years, he had never seen the men of the Lin family do housework.

"Old Lin..."

"Lao Lin, let me get the bowl."

Other neighbors also came to ask for bowls, and Old Man Lin stood up resignedly.

Mrs. Li from the hospital had finished her transfusion. "It's nothing. If you don't feel uncomfortable, you can go home."

Go home, why go home? Go home and wash the dishes and clean up?

She had not forgotten that in her previous life, when Lin Jianshe got married, she and Xiaoyu cleaned up until nine o'clock in the evening.

Lin Yongnian and his uncles all said they were too busy and exhausted, so they didn't move. Zhang Jiao made a fuss about the betrothal gift, so she took Junjun back to her parents' home.

She's not going back, whoever wants to clean up that house can do so.

"I feel a little dizzy."

Nurse: "Then you should stay one more night for observation."

"OK."

Lin Xiaoyu said: "Then I will stay in the hospital to watch over you."

"Okay." Old Mrs. Li smiled and touched her daughter's face, showing her concern for her little daughter.

Lin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. In her memory, her mother always loved her two brothers the most. She would hug them, touch their heads, and wipe their sweat.

This was the first time that her mother touched her face with such a gentle smile.
