Chapter 284 Yu Qiang Shows His Power
In the afternoon, Yu Qiang received a call from his hometown in the army. It was his father calling. His mother fell down the slope while picking grass in the mountains the day before yesterday and broke her right leg.
His father and brother had to go to the fields to earn work points, his sister-in-law had to take care of the children and didn't know how to take care of others. There was no one at home who could take care of his mother, so they had to send her to their house to recuperate. After a month or so of recovery, she could go back to their hometown with them to celebrate the New Year.
He was worried about his mother and couldn't refuse his father, so he agreed without discussing it with Qian Lan.
This news was undoubtedly earth-shattering to Qian Lan, and she was stunned for a long time.
"No, don't we have Dad, my brother, and his sister-in-law at home who can take care of Mom? Why go to all the trouble to send her here to recuperate?"
Qian Lan couldn't understand, let alone accept it.
Logically speaking, since the leg is injured, it should not be exercised at all. It is best to rest at home.
Yu Qiang frowned irritably. "My mom is a woman, and it's a bit inconvenient for my dad and brother, two men, to take care of her. Besides, they have to work in the fields every day."
"Don't we have my sister-in-law? She's a girl, and since she has to take care of the kids, she doesn't have to work in the fields, so she can also take care of mom."
"She couldn't do it. Mom just let her take care of her at home for two days. She lay in bed and cried for water, but she ignored me. No one brought her the urinal, and she almost wet the bed. Dad scolded her, and she took the child and went back to her parents' home. Yu Zhuang also went to persuade her."
When Yu Qiang mentioned his brother's wife, he felt angry. He had never seen a woman who disrespected the elderly like her. Yu Zhuang was also a loser who couldn't even control his wife.
"What about Yu Hua?" Qian Lan thought of her sister-in-law. "Didn't she marry into the next village? Her children are grown up now. She can definitely go home and stay for a while to take care of her mother."
"With her own daughter taking care of her, Mom should feel more at ease."
It is said that a daughter is her mother's warm and cozy little cotton-padded jacket, and no one can take better care of her mother than a daughter.
"Bang!" Yu Qiang suddenly slammed the table.
Qian Lan was startled and covered her chest with her hands as she looked at Yu Qiang. She saw him staring at her with a gloomy expression, as if she were some bad guy.
The two brothers Yu Jianshe, who were reading in their room and waiting for dinner, heard the noise, came out of the room and looked at their parents worriedly.
"Why are you banging the table?" Qian Lan also got angry and slammed the table and shouted.
Yu Qiang said coldly: "You are talking about this and that, isn't it just because you don't want my mother to come to our house to recuperate?"
"Qian Lan, that's my mother, my biological mother, Jianshe and Lixin's biological mother-in-law!"
Qian Lan's eyes turned red with anger. "I said, isn't that your biological mother?"
"Your sister lives close to home. Mom fell and got hurt. Wouldn't it be better for her, as a daughter, to go home and take care of her for a few days?"
"Why do you have to go through so much trouble to send him here to recuperate?"
"Yu Hua is a married daughter. You know what her mother-in-law is like. Can you tolerate Yu Hua going back to her parents' home to take care of her mother?" Yu Qiang said with his hands on his hips.
"Besides, Hua'er is pregnant again. It's only been four months, and the pregnancy is not stable yet. The old doctor in town would say it's most likely a son."
"How can she take care of Mom in this condition?"
Because she gave birth to three daughters, my younger sister has never been able to hold her head up in her husband's family. Since she gave birth to the third child, her belly has not moved for four or five years.
This time I finally got pregnant again, and it was very likely to be a boy, so of course there couldn't be any mistakes.
Even if Hua'er was willing to go back to take care of her mother with a big belly, her mother-in-law and husband would not agree.
Qian Lan was stunned for three seconds. She didn't know that Yu Hua had another child.
Because she didn't give birth to a son, my sister-in-law had a very unhappy life at her husband's house. Now that she is pregnant again, it is indeed a good thing for her.
"But..." Qian Lan's voice dropped, "But is there anyone in our family who is free to take care of Mom?"
"You have to go to work, I have to work at the noodle shop, and the two children have to go to school. If mom comes, I will be alone at home during the day."
Even if there is someone in the family who is free to take care of her mother-in-law, Qian Lan doesn't want her mother-in-law to come to her home.
Her mother-in-law talks the most and likes to make decisions for others. If her mother-in-law came to live at home, her life would be suffocated.
Seeing that her attitude had softened, Yu Qiang's expression also eased a little.
"I've thought about it. During the morning, you can go home around ten o'clock and take care of Mom so she can drink some water and go to the bathroom. At noon, have Jianshe or Lixin bring noodles back from the noodle shop for Mom."
"Aren't you always home around 3 or 4 in the afternoon? You can also take care of Mom so she can drink water and go to the bathroom. When I get home from get off work in the evening, the kids will be home too, so it'll be easy."
Qian Lan took a deep breath with a serious face. To put it bluntly, she would have to rely on him to serve her.
"Morning is the busiest time for noodle shops, as there are many things to prepare."
Yu Qiang: "There are more people in the noodle shop now. Xiaoyu was sick and didn't go to the noodle shop. Without her, you and Xiaogu were busy. You went home halfway and delayed half an hour. What's the harm?"
"You and Xiaoyu are good friends, and you own this noodle shop together. It only takes up half an hour every day, and Xiaoyu and the others won't say anything."
"...It's up to you." Qian Lan turned and went into the kitchen.
"Brother, my mother-in-law is coming to live with us?" Yu Lixin said with a gloomy face, "I don't want her to come."
Yu Jianshe: "Shh."
Why would he want his mother-in-law to live at home?
If the mother-in-law came home, his mother would definitely suffer the same grievances as in the countryside.
The next morning, when Gu Huai went to pick up the meat, he brought back two sets of pig intestines and 15 pounds of lean pork for sausages.
When the meat is almost marinated, you can stuff the sausages in it and smoke it together with the meat for a few days.
After returning from the noodle shop at noon, Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei started busying themselves with stuffing sausages.
Yu Hui wanted to stuff ten pounds of meat into the sausages, but Qian Lan only stuffed five pounds.
While stuffing sausages, Qian Lan mentioned that her mother-in-law was coming to recuperate.
"Once my mother-in-law came, my good days are over." Qian Lan sighed.
Yu Hui stuffed the bamboo tube with pieces of pickled lean meat. "I was wondering why you looked so worried today. So this is why."
Gu Hongmei frowned and said, "No matter what, this place is still your and Brother Yu's home. It must be different when your mother-in-law is in her hometown."
Qian Lan smiled and said, "In my mother-in-law's eyes, this is just her son's home. I am lucky enough to live here because of her son."
Yu Hui said, "You're earning money now. If your mother-in-law knew you earn more than Yu Qiang, she probably wouldn't dare treat you like that."
There is a saying that goes, economic foundation determines family status.
"It's not impossible, but if she knew I could make money, she would probably find ways to take it from me." She hasn't told her in-laws how much money she made from the noodle shop she opened with Yu Hui.
Yu Qiang was very concerned about his reputation and didn't want his family to know that she earned more money than him, so he didn't tell them.
But this time Yu Qiang's mother came, and it was definitely impossible to hide it.
