Chapter 408 Mom, You Are Partial
After dinner, Zhao Changying asked Zheng Rong, who was busy clearing the dishes, to sit down. Looking at her three sons and daughters-in-law who had not yet left the table, she said, "Please sit down first. I have something to say."
Wang Mei and Tian Ying were both wondering in their hearts what important thing they wanted to say that made it so formal.
"My youngest daughter-in-law opened a clothing store in the city with a partner. Now the store is too busy, so she wants two people from home to help..."
Tian Ying and Wang Mei became alert when they heard this.
"I thought about it carefully and decided to let Arong and Qiuyu help."
Originally, it was Gu Huai who suggested letting his sister-in-law and niece go, but Zhao Changying didn't want her son to be blamed, so she said it was her own decision.
"Why are sister-in-law and Qiuyu going?" Tian Ying shouted.
Wang Mei also joined her in the fight, "Exactly, why?"
Working in a clothing store is much more respectable than working in a noodle shop. There is no smoke, it is clean, and you don’t have to worry about clothes.
Although I don’t know how much the salary is, Qiuyu already has a job in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the old lady is willing to let her work in the work area of the supply and marketing cooperative, so the salary must be high.
We are all family, why should the eldest wife get all the good things? Are they no longer part of this family?
Zhao Changying glared at them, "Because they are hardworking and capable, they have a keen eye for work, talk little, and have little to do."
Tian Ying and Wang Mei's facial features twisted for a moment. Didn't she mean that they were lazy and incompetent, had no eyes for work, and were talkative?
Gu He and Gu Hai agreed with these words. Their two daughters-in-law usually liked to be lazy and cunning. One was talkative and the other was cunning. They were indeed not as hardworking and capable as their eldest sister-in-law.
It’s also because my sister-in-law is a good person and doesn’t bother with them. If it were someone else, I don’t know how many arguments she would have with Wang Mei and Tian Ying.
Given Tian Ying's behavior during the New Year, asking her to help the youngest wife would only cause her trouble, wouldn't that?
"It's obviously you who are biased!" Tian Ying couldn't find any words to refute, so she accused her mother-in-law of being biased.
Zhao Changying smiled, "I am partial. Zheng Rong and Qiu Yu are diligent and filial, so I am partial to them and want them to go to work in the city."
"..." Tian Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak. She pinched Gu Hai fiercely, "Gu Hai, you are dead. Just look at your mother saying this to me."
Gu Hai asked back with an impatient look on his face, "Is my mother wrong? If you were more diligent in your daily life, would my mother really not let you go? Besides, you offended the youngest brother and his wife during the New Year. Don't even mention that mother forbids you to go, do you have the nerve to go yourself?"
“…” Tian Ying choked.
After a while, she stiffened her neck and said, "Why am I too embarrassed to go? Isn't it normal for sisters-in-law to have some conflicts? The youngest couple won't bother with me."
Zhao Changying rolled her eyes. The third son's wife was so shameless.
"I have never offended the youngest couple." Wang Mei said.
Gu He frowned, "You want to leave me and go into the city?"
Wang Mei took Gu He's arm and said, "Let's go together."
Gu He pulled his hand away. "The clothing store doesn't want men, why should I go there? To eat for free? I won't go."
"If you want to go, go. It's best not to come back." Gu He put his hands behind his back with an unhappy look on his face.
Wang Mei hurriedly coaxed him, "I'm not going. It's okay if I don't go."
In fact, she was reluctant to be separated from her man.
Gu He curled his lips, that’s pretty good.
Since Wang Mei didn't go, Tian Ying couldn't do anything alone, so the matter was settled.
Tian Ying: "Qiuyu has gone to the city, so give me her job at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Since she couldn't go to work in the city, she wanted to work at Qiuyu Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Anyway, this job was found for Qiuyu by her family through their connections.
Gu Qiuyu said, "Third Mom, for my position, the supply and marketing cooperative needs young girls."
Tian Ying's eyes rolled, "Then give it to my sister."
Zhao Changyin slammed the table and said, "Why should I give this job, which my Gu family managed to get, to your sister?"
"That's right." Wang Mei also agreed, "If it can be given to your sister, can it also be given to my sister? I am not young and can't read many words, but my sister is young and can read."
Tian Ying glared at his second sister-in-law angrily. What a fool she was.
"You don't let us go to the city to earn money. All the money-making jobs are given to the eldest wife. You should at least give us some compensation."
Zhao Changying laughed angrily, "What do I owe you that I should compensate you? What the hell are you thinking? I'm not happy to leave the door open without any compensation."
She doesn't accept being manipulated or threatened by anyone.
Tian Ying really wanted to just get up and leave, but when she really had to go back to her parents' home, Gu Hai would not pick her up.
She didn't want to, nor did she have the ability to, divorce Gu Hai. After living at home for too long, her family also disliked her, and in the end she had no choice but to return home in disgrace.
It won't have any effect at all, and you'll be the only one embarrassed.
Tian Ying stood up angrily, left the main room and returned to his room to sulk.
Zhao Changying ignored her and asked Wang Mei to collect the dishes and wash them.
Yunnan Province
Bai Qibing puffed on his pipe and thought carefully about what his elder brother had said.
Sisters Bai Chunling and Bai Chunmei, who look almost identical, pursed their lips and scratched the door frame with their hands.
They want to go to Yucheng and work with Sister Chunhua, even if it means sending all the money they earn back home. They don't want to marry a fool.
Bai Qiliang had no idea what his younger brother was thinking. It was such an easy account, but he couldn't figure it out.
He decided to do the math for his younger brother. "Which family in town gives a betrothal gift of 300 yuan per person? Chunling and Chunmei, once they go to Yucheng, will each earn 30 yuan for the first three months, which makes 60 yuan. They'll keep 10 yuan for themselves, and they can send you 50 yuan a month. After three months, they can send you 90 yuan. 90 yuan a month, 900 yuan in 10 months, over 1,000 yuan a year, and 3,000 yuan in three years!"
Bai Qibing exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "I can figure this out. I'm just afraid that once these two girls go out, they'll become wild and stop sending money home. They might even stay in Yucheng and never come back."
If I just accept the betrothal gift and get married, my home is close and if there is anything I need help with, I can find these two girls quickly.
If you go to Yucheng, the emperor will be far away and can't do anything for you.
"My sister and I won't," Bai Chunmei said. "We will send money every month. When we earn enough money and build a big house, we will come back and get married."
"Right, sister." Bai Chunmei winked at her sister Bai Chunling.
Bai Chunling nodded vigorously, "Yes, Yunnan Province is our home, and our parents are here too. We will definitely come back."
"Listen..." Bai Qiliang pointed at his two nieces, "Chunling and Chunmei are both good, honest and obedient children. How could they not send you money and run away and never come back?"
"If they dare to do this, I will call Chunhua and tell her to stop them."
Bai Qibing smoked his pipe and thought for a long time, then finally nodded.
