Chen Qiushu next to him was still asking for praise: "How is it? Fast, right? It will be fixed in a short while, and we can move in today."
Li Xiaoqin suppressed the anger rising in her heart and kept comforting herself, saying that it was a little ugly, but there was one thing that Chen Qiushu was right about, which was speed.
I thought I'd just occupy the house first. As for the windows, it's not impossible to repair them slowly later.
So Li Xiaoqin forced a smile on her face and praised: "It was quite fast, you did a great job."
Shen Qiushu proudly helped Li Xiaoqin into the house.
Li Xiang was sitting in front of the stove making a fire. When she saw Li Xiaoqin coming, she quickly stood up awkwardly.
This posture is a bit like a leader coming to inspect, and Li Xiang is the soldier who is trembling with fear and waiting for the leader's inspection at any time.
Li Xiaoqin didn't even glance at Li Xiang. After entering the house, she looked at the empty room, touched the layer of dust on the cabinet, and asked Chen Qiushu to get a basin so that she could wipe it.
Li Xiang quickly stepped forward to stop her: "I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll finish the fire and clean up. You're pregnant, you can't work, what if you get tired?"
Seeing that Li Xiang was like an old maid in the old society, Li Xiaoqin was a little uncomfortable.
After all, she is not a lady from a wealthy family. When a rural woman is pregnant, doesn't she still have to work?
However, since Li Xiang had already put herself in the position of a servant, Li Xiaoqin didn't bother to correct her.
Anyway, she is doing the work for me and I am just too lazy to do it!
Li Xiaoqin didn't say yes or no, and just walked out of the east room leisurely.
Li Xiang watched the two of them leaving from behind, feeling uneasy.
If I had known this would happen, I would have explained it clearly to the third daughter-in-law as soon as she got married, and things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Wang Huilian, who had been lying in the west room for half a day, finally couldn't help but got up.
Wang Huilian didn't see Li Xiang in the east room, so she came to the yard and heard some noise in the small east room. She couldn't help but walk in.
When they entered, they saw Li Xiang wiping the cabinet with a rag. Wang Huilian asked, "Are you wiping it for yourself, or for Lao San and the others?"
Li Xiang raised her head and smiled reluctantly, "Xiao Qin is pregnant now, so she's not suitable for this. I'll do it for her."
Wang Huilian immediately responded with full-level sarcasm: "Oh my, second son's wife, I really admire you! Cleaning up your own house for others to live in, there is no one in the world more generous than you, right?"
Li Xiang bent over and did not respond to her.
She knew that her eldest sister-in-law was angry with her for giving the house to the third brother and his wife, but she was counting on the third brother and his wife to have a son, so no matter what her eldest sister-in-law said, it would not shake Li Xiang's mind.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Huilian was a little unwilling: "I'm afraid that you'll be busy all the time, but in the end it'll be for nothing!"
"If Li Xiaoqin keeps giving birth to girls, you won't get anything even if she agrees to give you a son!"
Wang Huilian had just uttered the last sentence when she didn't expect that Li Xiang, who had always been good-tempered, would suddenly throw away the rag in her hand and stare at her with a sullen face.
"Sister-in-law, can you please be more virtuous? I can tolerate anything else you say, but I won't let you curse the third son's wife for not being able to give birth to a son, no matter what I say."
Li Xiang could tolerate everything else, including beatings and scolding, because she was used to it anyway.
But it's not allowed when it comes to matters involving my son.
This matter has become an untouchable reverse scale in the deepest part of Li Xiang's heart.
Seeing that she looked like she was ready to fight to the death, Wang Huilian did not intend to shut up: "Look at you, how come I say a few words to you and you don't want to listen?"
"No matter how unwilling you are to listen, I still have to tell you how long has Li Xiaoqin been married to us, and how many years have we been sisters-in-law?"
"I just don't understand, why did you listen to her and team up with her to deal with me?"
Li Xiang didn't want to argue about these things with Wang Huilian, but she kept asking questions, which made Li Xiang very annoyed.
And she was even more afraid that Li Xiaoqin would see Wang Huilian with her.
After all, they are at a point where they don't talk to each other, and Li Xiang is afraid that Li Xiaoqin will hate her too.
So she looked at Wang Huilian steadily and said, "Sister-in-law, you also said that you and I have been sisters-in-law for more than ten years, but when have you ever treated me as a human being?"
"Earlier, you gave birth to Dawei, and I gave birth to Siyue. How many sarcastic things did you say about me in front of your parents-in-law?"
"The reason why my mother-in-law dislikes me so much is because of how much you have done to cause trouble for her. Don't you know it yourself?"
Originally Wang Huilian felt that she was aggrieved, but suddenly Li Xiang said a lot of words and she was stunned where she was.
"You...how can you say that?" She looked at Li Xiang in disbelief.
If there weren't just the two of them here, she would even suspect that someone else had taught Li Xiang to say those words.
Li Xiang's eyes were already filled with tears. She choked and continued, "Do you think I don't want to have a son? Do you think I want to push my own daughter away?"
"But I have no choice. I can no longer have children. The third daughter-in-law is my only hope."
"Nothing is more important than her giving birth to a son for me now. No one can stop me."
As Li Xiang was talking, she suddenly became mad.
As long as she has a son, who in her family would dare to laugh at her for having no one to take care of her in her old age?
As long as she has a son, who in the village would dare to laugh at her for having no descendants?
Wang Huilian, who has both a son and a daughter, certainly cannot understand Li Xiang, who has become a little crazy.
She took a step back timidly, and then said a little further away from Li Xiang: "Although I sometimes bully you, I haven't done anything excessive, right?"
"Do you really need to unite with the third brother's wife to deal with me? Besides, that was a long time ago. How can you still remember it?"
"You usually seem like a very honest person, but I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful? You remember such a small thing for so long?"
Li Xiang felt a little discouraged by Wang Hui's look of disgust.
In our past life, there really weren’t many big things, but it’s these trivial things that are the most torturous!
She was not good at talking and could not win the argument with Wang Huilian, so she could only wave the rag and chase her out: "Sister-in-law, if you don't have anything to do, please get out quickly. I still have to continue working."
In order to avoid the dirty rag, Wang Huilian had to leave the house.
But before she left, she still didn't let Li Xiang go: "Some people are not destined to have a son. No matter how humble you try to please others, it's useless."
"You..." Li Xiang was so angry that she took a rag and pretended to chase after her, which made the sharp-tongued Wang Huilian run away quickly.
When Li Xiang was the only one left in the room, she looked around the room.
Although it is not easy to have a room of your own in the countryside, compared with my son, nothing else matters.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang instantly became motivated again.
