Huo Xiaoman did not manage her family relationships and offended everyone in the family.
Jiang Zao had nothing to worry about with her and could say whatever he wanted.
Huo Xiaoman cares a lot about her reputation. Jiang Zao is the only person she looks down upon in her husband's family. Yet she is so arrogant, and no one helps her!
"you!"
Xiao Chengda: "What are you talking about? Is there anything wrong with what Shuisheng's wife said? She just exchanged a few words with Xiangdi, and you're putting the blame on her for your problems with Xiangdi. Is that how you behave?"
He was the most influential person in the Xiao family, and Huo Xiaoman was afraid of him.
Xiao Wensheng glared at Huo Xiaoman and asked softly, "Want to tell Dad the truth, did your mother beat you up behind your back?"
She wanted to see her eyes red from crying, sobbed for a moment, and slowly shook her head: "No, no."
Huo Xiaoman instantly became arrogant: "You heard me, I'm her mother, I can scold her a few times, but how could I possibly beat her every day? If I hadn't seen her talking to Jiang Zao today and felt uncomfortable, how could I have hit her?"
"I didn't mean to dig my nails into her flesh. I was just anxious and angry and didn't control my strength well."
I want to see it and lowered my head deeply.
I want to see... I lied.
But I don’t want Dad and Mom to quarrel, Dad will be unhappy.
Jiang Zao sighed, the child was too sensible.
Xiao Wensheng carried Xiangdi back to the house to disinfect his wound. Gu Xiufang brought the food into the house. It seemed that it was time to work, but Huo Xiaoman ran away, covering her face with her hands, and went into the house to take a break.
With so many bad things happening in the morning, Xiao Shuisheng was reluctant to let Jiang Zao work, so he asked her to stay inside while he helped serve food in the kitchen.
Only Xiao Chengda and Jiang Zao were in the living room.
Xiao Chengda felt bad.
Jiang Zao is a good child. She didn't tell anyone about Huo Xiaoman's actions behind her back. It was precisely because she didn't tell anyone and didn't make a fuss that the family stayed peaceful for so long.
"Shuisheng daughter-in-law."
Jiang Zao responded: "What's wrong, Dad?"
Xiao Chengda also works in the research institute. Although his rank is not as high as Xiao Shuisheng, he has extensive connections and experience. He said that he has helped many political officials during special periods.
Not only him, the old man also donated a lot of his property and saved a lot of special coupons at home.
The Xiao family is relatively low-key and doesn't like to publicize many things, but the Xiao family's reputation is recognized and valued by many important figures in Beijing and Shanghai.
Xiao Chengda pondered for a moment and said, "Both of your brothers are unemployed, and your younger brother has volunteered to support the northwest. Well, I have a friend who's in charge of this area. If your brother has had enough, I can ask him for help and see if I can get him back."
He deliberately spoke conservatively, fearing that his daughter-in-law would know the capabilities of the Xiao family and come to him for help in the future.
Jiang Zao was quite flattered.
Xiao Chengda is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble for himself. Compared with his sons, he is a little more patriarchal, but considering his wealth and status, it is normal for him to have such a mentality.
In this era, if a man doesn't have an affair, doesn't beat his wife, and doesn't look down on his in-laws, he can be considered a pretty good man.
"Thank you for your kindness, Dad, but no thanks. My brother has grown a lot since going to the countryside. I think men need to rely on themselves if they want to be independent."
"Besides, there's nothing special to be thanked for, and there's no reason for me to lend a hand. I'm afraid my brothers at home will think I have a way out and come to me for every little thing in the future."
"Usually, I just need to go back and forth to get some things to ensure that my family has enough food and clothes. The rest is up to them to do on their own."
It all depends on the attitude of Jiang's family and her mood before deciding whether to give it or not.
Xiao Chengda: "..."
I didn't realize Shuisheng's wife was so clear-headed.
No wonder Shuisheng wanted to give her his heart and soul. With a daughter-in-law like this, if you give her anything, she won't lose her sense of propriety and cause trouble for her husband.
"Okay, it's up to you."
The food was served, and Xiao Wensheng carried Xiangshi, who had just received the medicine, over to eat.
A normal person would be embarrassed to show up after being beaten, but Huo Xiaoman was not embarrassed. She was just afraid that if she was not around, people would say bad things about her, or that they would secretly give Jiang Zao good things behind her back.
Huo Xiaoman poured the water in the bowl onto the table, scooped up a spoonful of eggs with a spoon, and picked the part with the most meat crumbs.
I scooped three in one go.
Normally, Gu Xiufang would have turned a blind eye, but knowing what Huo Xiaoman had done behind her back, she didn't want to indulge her anymore: "There are more than a dozen eggs in total. If you eat three, will anyone else eat them?"
When did our family start to lack this kind of food?
Huo Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiufang in disbelief: "If a dozen or so aren't enough, then make more."
Xiao Chengda put down his bowl and said, "Wensheng pays 10 yuan every month. 10 yuan is enough to support your family of three, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, medicine, and coal. Our family is not as frugal as others. We use high-gluten flour for dumplings and buns, and the rice is refined. We don't always have eggs or meat, but we see them every day. 10 yuan is not enough for your family of three."
"What about you? When have you ever thought about bringing food home besides eating?"
"Ten yuan for one egg is good enough, but you ate three. Your mother said a few words to you and you started to talk back. She even asked me to make more. It's easy for her to say that. Did you pay that much?"
Xiao Wensheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and took two eggs from Huo Xiaoman's bowl, gave one to Xiangdi, and put one in his own bowl.
"You can only eat one. If you want more, buy more yourself."
Huo Xiaoman eats at least two eggs every meal. When has she only eaten one?
The gap in my heart was deeper than the Grand Canyon: "It's easy to say, but where do I get the money?"
Jiang Zao raised his head when he heard the voice: "Sister-in-law is quite rich. Didn't she give me more than 100 yuan to let me leave Shuisheng that day?"
