"Xiao Man, I didn't expect you to stand up and help me at this time. I used to think you were ignorant. I'm sorry for you."
Xiao Chengda looked at Huo Xiaoman with emotion, and mentioned where Qin Taoxian lived by the way: "When you see your Aunt Qin, don't tell her about the beating I got. Tell her I'm busy recently and I'll go see her after I'm done."
"Your Aunt Qin is timid and has suffered a lot. Find her a place to live. Remember to find a safe and comfortable house with many people. It's best to have a well in the yard and be close to a public toilet."
He listed a lot of requests in one breath, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he took out the last 50 yuan from his trouser pocket and gave it to Huo Xiaoman.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoman."
Huo Xiaoman's eyes lit up the moment she saw the money. She lowered her voice and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely make all the arrangements for Aunt Qin."
The old witch at home is biased.
She always praises Jiang Zao for everything he does.
The old witch was displeased and annoyed with everything she did, and she even encouraged Jiang Zao to send her to the Women's Office for spiritual education. Thinking of the week when she studied at the Women's Office and wrote a useless self-criticism of tens of thousands of words, Huo Xiaoman felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
Not only her self-criticism letter, but her work was also affected. She was ridiculed and scolded by her superiors every day.
Things change, and the old witch has been abandoned!
Thanks to Aunt Qin for your help.
I just don’t know…
When will Jiang Zao end up like this?
After Huo Xiaoman's repeated assurances, Xiao Chengda finally felt relieved. He felt that the wound no longer hurt and he was no longer uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa at night.
Huo Xiaoman took half a day off the next day and found Qin Taoxian and Huang Wanqing.
Looking at the well-dressed and serious young woman in front of her, Qin Taoxian was very polite: "Comrade, who are you?"
Huang Wanqing had never seen someone with the same aura as Huo Xiaoman, and she stood behind Qin Taoxian with some fear.
Who at home looks at Huo Xiaoman straight in the eye?
Suddenly someone looked at her cautiously, which greatly boosted her self-confidence and she smiled faintly.
"Xiao Chengda is my father-in-law. My name is Huo Xiaoman, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family."
Qin Taoxian had no doubts.
Xiao Shuisheng kicked her daughter out of the research institute, and the existence of the mother and daughter must have been brought to the table.
Huo Xiaoman didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so Qin Taoxian wasn't worried anymore. "Why didn't Chengda come? Did we, mother and daughter, influence him?"
Qin Taoxian's tone was filled with indescribable worry, but she was actually very happy in her heart.
It seems that Gu Xiufang is not a caring mother-in-law. Her own daughter-in-law doesn't help her, so it is easier than imagined to take her place.
Huo Xiaoman didn't explain clearly, but only said: "I found a new place for you nearby. You can move there first, and your father-in-law will come to see you later."
As she spoke, she looked at Qin Taoxian.
She is not as good-looking and elegant as her mother-in-law, but she has a better temper than her mother-in-law. No wonder her father-in-law is so worried about her.
Huo Xiaoman also has a bold idea.
If Qin Taoxian became her new mother-in-law, wouldn't she be easier to control than Gu Xiufang?
Many of her relatives have a strong control over her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
The mother-in-law has to look at her daughter-in-law's mood before eating at home, and the sister-in-law massages her sister-in-law's shoulders and legs, and does all the housework and taking care of the children.
Not only is fantasy beautiful, reality is also beautiful.
Huang Wanqing boiled a pot of hot water, took out her own delicious food and placed it on the table: "Sister-in-law, please sit down."
While boiling water, her mother secretly told her that this sister-in-law looked innocent and could be controlled by just a few nice words. Although she was innocent, she was a straightforward person with a hot temper. People like her didn't take others seriously and wanted to take advantage of others. They were actually the best weapons.
Huo Xiaoman had never received such treatment at home: "Ah, I've been so worried about you two. To be honest, everyone in our family knows about you."
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law had a big fight. My wife, Shuisheng, is like Jiangzao. She favors my mother-in-law and even scolds my father-in-law. My mother-in-law threatened to either send you back to the countryside or print out your photos and post them on the streets for everyone to see what you look like."
"My father-in-law didn't dare to come to you, and he didn't know what to do. I felt really sorry for him. I helped him rent a house for you without telling my husband, and took care of you all."
Then he took out 50 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table: "My father-in-law asked me to give it to you."
"It's a pity that I've only been pregnant for a short time. I don't know how much time and energy I've put into this. My shoulders and legs are sore."
Huang Wanqing rolled her eyes at the country girl, then squatted down to help Huo Xiaoman massage her legs. She looked distressed and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. My mother and I can't survive in the countryside. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death."
Her mother taught her that she could please people but never talk about anyone behind their back.
Huo Xiaoman can complain as much as she wants, but she cannot say anything bad about anyone in the Xiao family.
Qin Taoxian, who was standing by the kang folding clothes, paused, turned around with a smile, walked to the table and picked up 50 yuan.
Huo Xiaoman's expression changed immediately.
What an ignorant person, he doesn't even know how much to give her as a reward for her hard work.
The country bumpkin has no sense at all.
If she hadn't finally managed to please her father-in-law and was afraid that if she embezzled ten or twenty yuan and he knew about it and got angry, she wouldn't have given them all the 50 yuan.
Qin Taoxian waited until Huo Xiaoman cursed her in her heart and became furious, then she smiled and handed the money to Huo Xiaoman.
"You've worked so hard running around for us. How can I take this money? Take it home and buy some good food to replenish your body. It will be worth your trip."
If she had been given the money at the beginning, or if she had refused it, Huo Xiaoman would not have cherished it.
There is happiness only when there is a gap.
Qin Taoxian has never read Sun Tzu's Art of War.
But this is how people in rural areas train dogs. If you starve her for two meals and then give her one, she will wag her tail and remember your kindness.
I was quite angry just now, but when the 50 yuan was handed to me, it was like a basin of sweet water pouring into my lungs, it was so sweet.
Huo Xiaoman was so happy that she couldn't hold it back. Her expression became much kinder. "Why are you so polite? Thank you, Aunt Qin."
"I felt so warm when I saw you just now. You are exactly the mother-in-law I imagined. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me and I will make sure everything goes smoothly for you. I am a kind-hearted person, unlike Jiang Zao who is eager to drive people to death."
No matter what she said, Qin Taoxian and her daughter looked as if they had seen the world and learned a lot, which greatly satisfied Huo Xiaoman's vanity.
When Xiao Chengda asked about Qin Taoxian's situation that night, Huo Xiaoman reported the progress first: "Aunt Qin's living quarters have been arranged. There is a well in the yard, and it's only 5 minutes away from the public toilet."
"Dad, Aunt Qin is a good woman. Eh...it's because she's so good that people force her to hide like a rat."
