Chapter 138 The Quilt Was Cut
Chen Lijun, "Forget it now. You and mom sleep in the same quilt. Mom talks and you accompany her. If mom says one thing, you will definitely say another."
Doesn't he understand his parents yet?
His father won't say it on his own initiative, but if his mother starts talking and asks his father, he will definitely talk about it.
Father Chen, "Where are you going to live?"
Chen Lijun: "Go to my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house."
Father Chen said, "There are no extra rooms at your parents-in-law's house. I will take your mother to your parents-in-law's house this afternoon and have a good talk with them. I will apologize to Yongjing and you two will not have to move out."
Chen Lijun shook his head, "We'll just stay here for a few days. We'll move out once we find a house. Don't worry about it, Dad. I'm just moving out. I'll still take care of your retirement in the future. Don't worry about that."
Father Chen cried out "Ah!", while mother Chen and Chen Hongxia were scolding their daughter-in-law Shen Yongjing.
When Chen's mother heard his father say that his son was moving out, she couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed to Chen Lijun's room and asked, "Lijun, why are you moving out?"
"For my future happiness." Chen Lijun still said the same thing.
Mother Chen, "What do you mean by for your future happiness? What's wrong with living at home? What if you are not happy at home? What do we do to you two?"
"I serve you every day and do all the housework. I don't let your wife do it. Are you still not satisfied and want you to move out?"
Chen Lijun sighed, "It's me who wants to move out. It has nothing to do with my wife."
Chen Hongxia came over and said, "Brother, you are so unfilial. Your parents raised you and helped you find a wife, but now that you have grown up, you want to move out and ignore your parents."
Chen Lijun felt that his sister might not have been badly brought up, but was just like that by nature.
He said coldly, "Did I say I don't care about my parents anymore? I just moved out, not severed the relationship. My parents are only fifty years old now and haven't retired yet. Do they really need my control?"
"I will take care of it when I get older."
"Chen Hongxia, stay out of my business. You are just a kid, don't get involved in adult matters."
Chen Hongxia was angry, "Your wife told you that she would divorce you if you didn't move out. Chen Lijun, you are such a coward. For a woman, you actually abandoned your parents and your own sister."
Chen Lijun, "Yes, yes, I am a coward, but you are not. You don't study hard at such a young age, and you always scold your sister-in-law."
It was the first time he realized that his sister had such thoughts. How could a 15-year-old girl say such words?
The more Chen Lijun protected her, the angrier Chen Hongxia became. She crossed her arms over her chest and said, "She lives in our house and eats our food. What's wrong with me scolding her? I'll scold her."
Chen Lijun glanced at her, shook his head and sighed. He had already packed his luggage, which was not much, just his clothes and bedding. He couldn't take it all at once, so he had to make two trips.
Chen Lijun went out with his luggage. Chen's father and mother sighed. Chen Hongxia was angry. She cursed Shen Yongjing in her heart and went to the room to get a pair of scissors.
She came to her brother Chen Lijun's room and cut both of their quilts in a rage!
I heard that this quilt was made by Shen Yongjing's family when she married her brother. Humph, it's just right to cut it and see what kind of quilt this bitch covers herself with at night.
If you have the guts, just live in your mother's house for the rest of your life and don't come back.
After cutting the quilt, Chen Hongxia went back to her room as if nothing had happened.
After Chen Lijun moved his luggage to his new home, he went to Shen's house and heard what happened in the morning. Shen's father and mother did not tell him about this.
Shen Yongjing said that.
"Your mother said in front of our whole family that I am a hen that doesn't lay eggs. I haven't laid a single egg for you in three years of being married to you."
Shen Yongjing's disgust towards her mother-in-law increased even more. It was really unacceptable. It would have been fine if he had just said it in front of her, but he actually said it in front of her parents, her second brother and his wife. He didn't even treat her as a human being at all.
"Why don't we just get divorced? Your mother hates me so much, you should just marry someone else." Shen Yongjing was angry.
Chen Lijun, "Stop it, my wife. I'm on your side. We've all moved out. Don't go to my parents' house in the future. I'll go if you need anything."
"How do we get a divorce? What will happen to our children if we get divorced?"
Shen Yongjing, "Of course she would marry another man and call him dad."
Chen Lijun begged, "Wife, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother, please don't be angry."
Shen Yongjing snorted, "My second brother has a very good temper. He usually doesn't get angry. Your mother said that and it made my second brother so angry that he opened his mouth. You can see how unpleasant it is."
Although Chen Lijun didn't hear it, he knew how unpleasant it was when he heard his mother and sister talking about it at home. He said,
"I'm sorry, wife."
Shen Yongjing, "Don't say sorry, it's not your fault, go back and get all your luggage."
"Anyway, I won't go to your parents' place anymore. Even if your mother doesn't say anything to me, your sister is always in a bad mood. I don't know how I offended her."
Chen Lijun, "I understand, wife, I'll go, you don't have to go."
Shen Yongjing, "Yes, my mother said that she will help us take care of the baby in the future, so we don't have to worry about it. Just let me rest assured and take care of the baby."
Chen Lijun, "Thank you, Mom."
"Hurry up and finish eating, then go move your luggage."
"Uh-huh."
After lunch, Chen Lijun went back to Chen's house to move his luggage, except for the bedding.
I just went back to the room and looked,
"Mom!"
Chen Lijun shouted that his son was going to move out. Chen's mother was not in a good mood and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Lijun came out holding a quilt, "Mom, what happened? Who cut our quilt?"
The quilt cover was cut into strips, and the cotton wool inside was messed up.
Mother Chen was shocked and called out to Father Chen, “It’s not me, old man!”
Father Chen came out and shook his head, "It wasn't me either!"
Chen Lijun gritted his teeth, "Chen Hongxia!" He walked to the door of the room and kicked it, but no one was there.
Yes, Chen Hongxia was afraid that her brother would come back and scold her, so she just went out and hid.
Mother Chen, "It can't be...it can't be Hongxia who did it, right?"
Chen Lijun, "There are only a few of us in this room, who else could it be if not her?"
Mother Chen couldn't find any words to refute.
Father Chen, "I saw her enter your room with a pair of scissors. I thought the child was doing something else, but I didn't expect..."
Chen Lijun was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mom and Dad, your good daughter, these two quilts were made for Yongjing when she and I got married."
"It weighs six pounds a piece!"
Even if the quilt was not a dowry, it would be a serious matter. What would you use to cover yourself in the cold winter if the quilt was cut? It’s okay if the cotton was punctured, as it can be reused.
But the quilt cover can’t be used anymore.
Buying a new quilt cover requires a lot of cloth coupons.
What's more, this is the daughter-in-law's dowry quilt. Chen's mother felt that it was all over. After her daughter did this, the daughter-in-law would have to divorce even if she didn't want to, right?
"Boss, what should we do?" Mother Chen was at a loss for a moment.
Mr. Chen's head was buzzing. "What should I do? Liangban, take out all your money and cloth coupons!"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Mother Chen quickly got up and went back to the house to get the money and bills. Thanks to the fact that they were dual-employed, they were able to save a lot of bills and money.
Chen Lijun, "Dad, is Hongxia resentful of me for slapping her? So she cut and stabbed our quilts."
Father Chen didn't know what to say, "This child has learned bad things. I will break her legs when she comes back."
Chen Lijun didn't believe it, so his mother took out twenty yuan and some cloth coupons and said, "Lijun, go to the department store and buy a quilt cover right now. Buy the finished product directly."
Chen Lijun accepted the money and tickets, and then dropped a big bomb.
"Mom and Dad, do you know? Yongjing is pregnant."
Chen's parents were shocked. "She's pregnant?"
Chen Lijun nodded, and Chen's mother asked hurriedly, "Are you really pregnant? When did it happen?"
Chen Lijun, "I just went to check at noon today, and I'm already more than a month pregnant."
Hearing this, Chen's father and mother were delighted. Chen's mother clapped her thigh and said, "Then let's go and bring Yongjing back. She's pregnant and needs someone to take care of her."
Chen Lijun shook his head, "No, Mom. It's not convenient for us to stay at home in this situation. Hongxia cut our quilt today. What if she stabs us with the scissors one day?"
"Mom, you have a bad mouth, and Yongjing is pregnant now, so she needs to be in a good mood and not get angry, so we should move out."
"Mom and Dad, tonight or tomorrow at noon, please go to the Shen family to apologize to Yongjing and my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Mother Chen said embarrassedly, "I definitely won't say anything to her now that she's pregnant." She said that before because there was no baby in her belly.
Mother Chen thinks she is a good mother-in-law. In other families, it is the daughter-in-law who cooks and cleans the house, but in her family, she is the one who cooks and cleans the house most of the time.
When her daughter-in-law didn't get pregnant in the first year after marriage, she didn't say anything. She only started complaining in the second year. She just said unpleasant things. Isn't she much better than those annoying mothers-in-law?
Chen Lijun, "We have already found and bought my parents' house. We can't change things. If you want to help your son, please give us some money."
"After buying the house, my savings with Yongjing were all gone. I even borrowed 200 yuan from my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
This prompted Chen's father to ask, "Didn't you say you didn't find the house?"
Chen Lijun lied with his eyes wide open, "I just found it. I just found it at noon."
"A house of about 40 square meters..."
After hearing this, Chen's father and mother said, "This is a big deal.
Chen Lijun: "It's all your fault."
It's also his fault. Why didn't he move out earlier? There wouldn't be so many problems if he moved out.
Father Chen said to Mother Chen, "Please give your son some money." Their son is still their biological son. Even if he moves out, he is still their biological son.
Chen's mother went to get it and gave Chen Lijun 200 yuan.
"Mom and Dad don't have much left."
Chen Lijun also thought that he hoped his daughter-in-law would calm down for the sake of money. He hoped that his daughter-in-law would calm down for the sake of money.
After all, the fact that the quilt was cut cannot be concealed!
Chen Lijun took the money and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to buy a quilt cover. Please sew the cotton inside."
The quilt cover was cut and the cotton inside was also damaged.
Mother Chen nodded and said, "Go buy it and I'll sew it for you."
After Chen Lijun left, Chen's mother asked Chen's father, "Should we go today or tomorrow at noon?"
Father Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy something tomorrow at noon."
Because they had to work in the afternoon, they only took half a day off.
When Chen Lijun came back after buying the quilt cover, his mother had already sewed the quilt core and put on the quilt cover. She muttered, "Lijun, please talk to Yongjing and tell her not to get excited."
"Let Hongxia apologize to my wife in person."
Chen Lijun rolled up the quilt. Their quilt was quite thick and had to be tied to the back seat of the bicycle with a rope.
"Yes, yes, I will scold your sister when she comes back, and then take her to apologize to Yongjing."
Mother Chen thought that this girl really needed a good lesson. It was outrageous that she should not cut her brother and sister-in-law's quilt even if she was angry.
"Mom, give me those meat coupons and grain coupons again." Chen Lijun said.
Mother Chen: "Okay."
I went into the house and got the ticket for Chen Lijun. Chen Lijun came out holding a blanket. Chen's mother was still behind him saying, "Talk to Yongjing nicely."
No matter how you look at it, this matter is going to make him angry. Chen Lijun was mentally prepared to be scolded by his wife.
He moved his luggage to their new house. So far, all of their things have been moved in. What they lack now are daily necessities, such as rice, flour, soy sauce, oil, vinegar and so on.
Chen Lijun went to the department store to buy things. When he came back, he cleaned the house again and the stove started a fire.
I watched the time and cooked the rice. Then I stewed the pork ribs with dried beans and stir-fried the cabbage with oil residue.
I hope his wife can be less angry for the sake of the money and delicious food.
It was past five o'clock when the meal was ready. Chen Lijun went to Shen's house. Shen's father and mother hated their daughter's parents-in-law, especially the mother-in-law. However, their son-in-law was good, and their daughter was pregnant now...
The son-in-law had expressed his attitude before, moved out, and proved it with actions, so Shen's father and mother did not give him a cold shoulder.
"Mom and Dad, I'm here to pick up Yongjing."
Chen Lijun also felt that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were reasonable and kind to them.
Shen's mother said, "Why don't you guys eat first before leaving?"
Chen Lijun shook his head, "No, Mom, I cooked dinner at our house, let's go home and eat."
"That's fine."
Shen Yongjing went out with Chen Lijun. When they arrived at their new home, Chen Lijun did not mention the quilt, but let Shen Yongjing have dinner first.
"Wife, I stewed the spareribs and fried the cabbage with oil residue."
Chen Lijun brought the dishes to the table one by one. Shen Yongjing was surprised.
"Can you cook?"
I haven't seen him cook in the three years since I married him.
Chen Lijun: "Yes, cooking is such a simple job."
"Try this pork rib and see if it's salty or light."
Shen Yongjing tasted it and nodded, "It's delicious."
Meat, no matter how bad it tastes, it can never be that bad.
Shen Yongjing was fine. Her morning sickness wasn't that severe. She just felt like vomiting occasionally, so she ate this meal very deliciously. She had two large bowls of rice with pork rib soup.
After dinner, the couple cleaned up the table, washed up and lay down on the bed. Shen Yongjing looked at the quilt cover and asked, "Is this quilt cover newly bought?"
Chen Lijun: "Yes, I just bought it."
"What about the original one?"
Chen Lijun stood up and took out the passbook from the cabinet, "Wife, take a look at this first."
Shen Yongjing took the passbook and saw that there was 200 yuan in it.
"Haven't we run out of money? Where did you get the money?"
Chen Lijun, "My mother gave it to me. I told her you were pregnant, and she gave me 200 yuan to buy you something delicious."
Shen Yongjing smiled and said, "Your mother still has a lot of influence on you because her child gave her money as soon as she heard that I was pregnant."
