Chapter 291 She Should Have Done It Alone
Qian Lan's blood pressure began to rise rapidly.
Yu Jianshe held up the bowl and said, "Mother-in-law, what you said is not right. Our teachers all taught us that when we get home, we should help our mothers with housework. They also taught us that we should develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, and strive to be good young people of today."
"Your teacher is a woman, right? Female teachers just like to talk nonsense." The female teachers in their village also like to teach boys to do housework. I don't know what their intentions are.
Yu Jianshe: "Our teachers are men, and our principal is also a man. The principal said the same thing on the podium during Monday morning meetings."
"Mom," Yu Qiang said, "It's a new society now. Men and women are equal. It doesn't mean that housework has to be done by women. Li Xin and Jianshe are already grown men. Doing some housework, such as washing dishes and sweeping the floor, is also a form of exercise for them."
"You can earn money, the children need to go to school, and your wife is idle. She should do all the housework alone. When have you ever let your father, you, and your brother do the dishes and clothes?"
Your wife is just lazy.
Bao Pandi moved his mouth and spoke silently.
"My mother also earns money. She earns more than my father." Yu Lixin blurted out.
Bao Pandi was stunned, then looked at Yu Qiang.
The latter nodded, glanced at Qian Lan who turned to leave with the bowl in hand, and said, "Qian Lan has now opened a noodle shop with Xiao Yu next door. Business is booming, and the money he gets a month is more than my salary."
Bao Pandi blinked, "Don't tell me you're kidding me, how much money can she make running a noodle shop? She's in partnership with someone, how could she possibly make more than you?"
Yu Lixin: "It's more than my dad's salary. My mom gets more than 100 yuan every month."
More than a hundred!
Bao Pandi's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Li Xin." Yu Jianshe winked at his younger brother, signaling him to stop talking. The two brothers packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
"Qiangzi, tell mom, can Qian Lan really earn more than 100 yuan a month?" Bao Pandi asked.
Yu Qiang nodded, "That's really great. Qian Lan works really hard in the noodle shop."
Bao Pandi curled his lips, "No matter how hard it is, can it be harder than you?"
"No wonder she doesn't take me, her mother-in-law, seriously. It turns out she can make money now."
Yu Qiang: “…”
"Mom, my brother told me that you can earn more than a hundred yuan a month." Yu Jianshe said as soon as he entered the kitchen.
Qian Lan ladled hot water into the basin and said, "Just say it out loud. Your mother-in-law will find out sooner or later."
"Do you think that your mother asks you to do housework so that she can be lazy?" she asked her two sons.
The two brothers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"I don't think so," Yu Jianshe said. "Our principal said, 'A real man can't clean up the world if he can't even clean up his own room.' If you can't even do a simple job like washing dishes and sweeping the floor, what else can you do well?"
"Besides, you and Dad have worked very hard, so it's only right that we do this little chore."
"That's right." Yu Lixin nodded in agreement.
Qian Lan was very pleased to hear her son say this.
Before the kitchen was cleaned up, Bao Pandi called Qian Lan.
I didn't go to the toilet on the train before, but now I have to poop, pee and fart after eating and drinking.
Qian Lan helped the man into the toilet. There was a special chair in the toilet for people to sit on and defecate. Qian Lan bought it from someone at the market.
Qian Lan helped Bao Pandi take off his pants and sat down on the chair. Then she said, "Mom, there's toilet paper next to you. When you're done, call me and I'll come in to help you."
"No, no." Bao Pandi pulled Qian Lan's hand, "My right foot can't touch the ground. I can't sit steadily like this. You have to support me from the side."
Qian Lan: "This chair is very stable. You won't fall if you put one foot on the ground."
"That won't work. Look, if I lift my foot, my body will tilt." Bao Pandi lifted his foot and let go of Qian Lan's hand, and his body tilted to the left.
Qian Lan closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "Okay, okay, I'll support you, just pull it out quickly."
Bao Pandi lowered his head and smiled secretly, thinking to himself: I can't cure you yet.
Qian Lan held her nose in the toilet and waited for her to finish defecating. Then she helped her back into the house and flushed the toilet with water while holding her nose again.
The toilets in the houses in the military family compound are all cement chamber pots. After using the toilet, you just flush it with water and the filth goes away.
As soon as Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin finished washing the dishes, they ran next door to watch TV.
Usually Yu Qiang would go to watch the news broadcast, but because Bao Pandi stopped him to talk, he didn't go tonight.
When washing up at night, Qian Lan directly handed the basin of hot water to Yu Qiang and asked him to help his mother wash up.
She is his biological mother, he should do his part.
As the family sat together washing their feet in a large wooden tub, Bao Pandi said, "Alan, please sleep with me tonight. I need to get up at night and I need someone by my side."
Qian Lan didn't want to sleep with her mother-in-law. "The room is so small. If you need to get up at night, just call me. I can hear you even though I sleep lightly."
Bao Pandi: "If I yell, won't I wake you, Qiangzi, and the two kids up?"
"Even if you don't feel sorry for Qiangzi and aren't afraid of waking him up at night, you should at least feel sorry for your own child, right?"
“…” Qian Lan was speechless for a moment.
Yu Qiang felt unhappy when he saw her reluctant look.
She agreed directly, "Okay, Mom, let Alan sleep with you tonight."
"Oh... I'm getting old and people dislike me." Bao Pandi sighed and muttered to himself.
Others may not have heard it clearly, but Yu Qiang, who was sitting next to her, could hear it clearly and was very dissatisfied with Qian Lan.
Before going to bed, Qian Lan went to the bedroom to get the quilt. Yu Qiang walked in and said, "Let's talk."
"What's there to talk about?" Qian Lan guessed that he was going to say that there was something wrong with his attitude towards his mother today.
Yu Qiang: "You agreed to let my mother come up here to recuperate. Now that she's here, you're being sarcastic and sullen. You're even trying to resist sleeping with her. What's your intention?"
"Aren't you making my mother feel like she's being disliked and making her feel bad?"
Qian Lan threw the quilt she was holding onto the bed and said, suppressing her anger, "You only saw me speaking in a sarcastic tone and making a face, but didn't you see your mother, why did she speak in a sarcastic tone about me?"
Yu Qiang was stunned for a moment, then continued, "My mother is an old lady. Even if she said something wrong, as her daughter-in-law, can't you give her some leniency?"
"Didn't I give in?" Qian Lan asked.
She has been giving in and enduring for more than ten years.
"Anyway, I'm not happy with a lot of your behavior today. I beg you to be more filial to the elderly and stop arguing with my mother. You have to contradict everything she says."
"When did I ever contradict her? When she called me lazy and asked Jianshe and Lixin to wash the dishes, did I say anything?"
Yu Qiang: “…”
She really didn't say anything.
"Could you please not be so aggressive when you speak? I'm just trying to talk to you nicely."
"Really?" Qian Lan sneered, "I really didn't sense it. I thought you were accusing me of something."
