Chapter 123 I am really useless as a son-in-law
Chu Xue saw her eyes turn red and said, "Alright, we are a family. Besides, this is what our parents wanted. If you really want to be nice to us, you should be able to treat us better in the future."
"Well, you don't have to tell me, I will be nice to our parents too."
"That's right, okay, I have to go, you should go back as well."
After watching his sister walk away, Xia Qiu turned around and walked back.
In just a moment, word spread that Xia Qiu's parents were going to build a brick house. When she came back, they asked, "Xia Qiu, are you really going to build a brick house?"
"Yeah, my sister said that they have already leveled the ground today, and they will start digging the foundation in the next day or two."
At this time, the second daughter-in-law of the Qiu family's eldest wife said sarcastically: "You are showing off something that has not even been made yet. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? After all, building a room is still building one."
At this time, Qiu Shaomei, the daughter of the second wife, Xia Qiu's sister-in-law, was not happy: "Second cousin, why do you have to take part in everything? Even if they build a house, it's a brick house, which is better than the adobe house of your mother's family, right?"
They are all daughters-in-law of the Qiu family. She gave birth to a son as soon as she entered the family, and is now pregnant with another. Although her family conditions are not very good, her aunt is married to the workshop director of the county shoe factory, and her eldest brother has also been arranged by her uncle to work in the shoe factory. She thinks she is the most favored among the sisters-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the second wife's sister-in-law dared to embarrass her in front of so many people: "Qiu Shaomei, can you speak?"
“I learned it from you. What does my sister-in-law’s family have to do with you?
The girl sent me the wrong fish. Don’t eat the fish she sent me in the future.”
"It's just two fish, don't act like you've never eaten them before."
"You said it, so don't be so shameless as to reach for your chopsticks when the time comes."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Xia Qiu: "Sister-in-law, you are just too easy to talk to. If she provokes you in the future, just fight back. What kind of person are you?"
Seeing her sister-in-law standing up for her, Xia Qiu felt warm in her heart: "She is pregnant. If anything happens, it will cause trouble for our second house and make it difficult for my parents."
When the Qiu family's grandmother saw her second granddaughter-in-law Cheng Qiufeng hurried back, she asked, "You've finished your work, why are you back?"
"I heard that Xia Qiu's daughter-in-law is here, so I wanted to come back to say hello and ask about her in-laws' situation."
"My in-laws are fine, but they need to rest for a while. That girl is a good person. She was afraid that her sister would worry, so she came here specially and brought two fish with her."
When Mother Qiu saw her son and daughter-in-law in the yard, she said, "After you finish your work today, you can go over there with your things. You didn't help at all when such a big thing happened. You must not be rude again."
Qiu Shaofeng nodded in response. Since the family had not yet been divided, it was not easy for him to ask his grandmother for help. All the money he had saved was used up on his wedding. His father-in-law had gone to the city for medical treatment, but he could not even give a penny. He felt really guilty.
During the past half month, he has been very busy. After work, he goes to the brick kiln in front to carry bricks. He can earn 30 cents a night, and he saves it all.
I had originally been thinking about helping my father-in-law out with some of his debts, but from what my sister-in-law said today, it seemed that all the borrowed money had been repaid.
As a son-in-law, he did not contribute either much effort or money this time, and he felt very bad. His father-in-law got into such a big trouble, but his sister-in-law had to take the blame. He, as a son-in-law, was really useless.
After taking a look at his wife with gentle features who was talking to his great-grandmother, he silently made up his mind to work harder in the future.
