Liu Chunhua is not young anymore, and the noise made her ears buzz and her head hurt.
She didn't dare to take the risk. If the eldest son's marriage was in jeopardy, the second son would have no chance of getting married.
The sewing machine that Li Ming added to his family is a big item. It costs at least two or three months' salary, and you also need a sewing plane ticket to get it. Without the sewing machine, the new daughter-in-law will not be able to join the family. Does he have to watch his son's marriage fall through?
Liu Chunhua saw that the boss already knew her plan, so she had no choice but to compromise and agreed to let her take away 20 yuan. In addition to the thermos, towels, blankets, etc. that she had prepared at the beginning, he also bought her two enamel basins, one for washing her face and one for washing clothes, and made her a new set of autumn clothes. That was the end of the matter.
In the evening, Jiang Xing cried too much and didn't have the energy to cook, so she didn't even cook.
She asked for a lot more money and things on top of the original amount, and when she went to her husband's house, she felt much more confident than before, and was not afraid that her mother would say anything about her outside.
Besides, what is she afraid of? Her mother would have to be crazy to talk about her outside, blaming her for being stupid yesterday and believing those ridiculous threats.
Liu Chunhua cooked dinner.
The mother and daughter had been fighting for a whole day, and they were both tired, dizzy, and had no appetite, so they didn't eat much in the evening.
The three men in the house ate up all their meals. When Liu Chunhua had enough strength to eat, she found that there was only one pot of unwashed dishes. She was very angry.
The third brother came back with a righteous look on his face.
The third brother didn't eat dinner at night, but he felt sorry for her. He couldn't bear to eat a bite of the bread distributed by the factory, so he brought it back for her.
Jiang Zao effortlessly became Liu Chunhua's beloved daughter.
There is always a priority between daughters and sons. Although Liu Chunhua favors boys over girls, she is also a human being. She knows how painful it is to be wronged, and her heart aches when she hears people's concern for her.
"The third child is thinking about mother, and mother feels comforted."
Liu Chunhua took out a piece of bread from an oil paper bag and gave it to Jiang Zao: "We've finished dinner. Take it back and eat it. Don't go hungry."
In the past, Jiang Zao went hungry for three meals and it was not even her turn to have bread.
Jiang Zao was flattered and took the bread.
It was almost the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon was big, illuminating the yard brightly.
Liu Chunhua saw the watch on Jiang Zao's bowl and asked, "Where did you get that watch? It's a Longines, right? It costs over a hundred yuan!"
A Longines watch is much more expensive than a sewing machine.
Jiang Zao showed a shy expression: "Xiao Shui was afraid that I would be late for work, so he bought it for me."
Liu Chunhua withdrew her gaze, smiled and said nothing, but she had already made up her mind.
Let the third child wear it for a while first, and when the fourth child goes to work at the food factory, ask her to give the watch to the fourth child. With a watch on him, the fourth child will have no worries about finding a good partner.
The depression in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she said to Jiang Zao lovingly, "After eating, go take a shower and go to bed. You have to go to work tomorrow. What do you want to eat for lunch tomorrow? I'll get up in the morning and make you something delicious to take away."
Jiang Zao: "Anything is fine. I like everything my mother cooks."
The weather was hot and Jiang Zao's body was sticky. After eating the bread, she boiled a pot of hot water, took a bath in a large wooden tub, changed into a clean short-sleeved shirt and went back to the house. She didn't lie down in a hurry, but sat against the wall to dry her hair.
Her hair was dark and thick, like satin.
Jiang Xing was still awake: "Xiao Shuisheng gave you a watch?"
The third brother and his mother were not talking loudly, and she could hear some of them vaguely as she was sleeping under the window.
Jiang Zao: “Yeah.”
Jiang Xing felt very uncomfortable. It would be a lie to say that she was not envious and jealous.
She and the third child are sisters from the same mother.
The third brother is looking for a senior researcher who is a well-known figure.
She had secretly inquired and found out that Xiao Shuisheng's grandfather had a wide network of contacts and everyone had to give him some face.
His father also holds a good position in the academic world, and his mother is a renowned first-class dancer. After giving birth, her health was not as good as before, so she retired and worked as a dance teacher in the Military Industry Corps.
Brother Xiao Shuisheng also has a good job. His sister-in-law is an editor at a newspaper. She can speak foreign languages and often translates progressive ideas from abroad into Chinese and publishes them in newspapers. She has a high status in the newspaper.
Xiao Shuisheng's younger sister is in high school. She has a bad temper and can't do anything like cooking or washing clothes. She has to spend two cents of pocket money every day to buy food. She has the temper of a real little princess.
Jiang Xing also heard that Mr. Xiao had several grandsons, and the one he valued most was Xiao Shuisheng.
The third child looked stupid since he was a child, but he caught Xiao Shuisheng's eye.
There are many outstanding female comrades around Xiao Shuisheng, but I have never heard that he has a close relationship with any female comrade. He is so rich and powerful, but he is completely devoted to the third sister.
What is Xiao Shuisheng's status... What is the status of the third brother...
The third sister is not favored at home, but Xiao Shuisheng is still willing to protect her as the apple of his eye.
She could understand why Jiang Shan would give up her reputation to drug Xiao Shuisheng. Not to mention the children from poor families, even women with money and status as backers would be jealous of the third brother.
Jiang Xing felt sour and angry: "Be careful, mother won't let you go."
Jiang Zao closed his eyes.
It's not certain who will let go of whom.
Her watch is on her wrist, and anyone who wants to die can touch it.
After drying his hair, Jiang Zao crawled into bed and went to sleep.
At the same time, in the institute dormitory, Xiao Shuisheng went to the public bathhouse for the second time to take a cold shower.
The roommate was woken up and asked the man opposite: "Is Shuisheng usually so afraid of heat?"
The brother opposite laughed slyly: "You don't understand, he is burning with desire, hahaha!"
The weather in summer is unpredictable. It was extremely hot yesterday and it drizzled in the second half of the night.
The sound of raindrops as big as beans hit the glass, disturbing Jiang Xing's sleep. She got up, closed the window, and fell asleep again in a daze.
Jiang Zao plugged his ears with paper and slept well, waking up at six fifty the next morning.
