Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Jinjiang Solo
"We have been coming to my house for lunch recently, and I can spend some time with the children."
Zhang Mengyao didn't want to go back to that small home with little privacy at all.
After they got married, the couple was given a small room without a stove. They could only cook in the room using the stove, which was very inconvenient.
If I cook something delicious, half of it will be shared by my mother-in-law and brother-in-law who come here smelling the fragrance.
Although there were several large rooms in the house, the eldest son was only given the smallest room, which was originally used to store firewood, so it was small and short.
It’s no wonder that Xia Dayong, the biological son, is dissatisfied with his parents, let alone Zhang Mengyao, the daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang are her parents' parents, and it is difficult for them to persuade their daughter and son-in-law to move back home, so they can only help them privately.
Except for the small living place, other aspects of life are pretty good!
Apart from the five yuan pension every month, the couple keeps their own wages. After all, they have separated from their parents and don't even eat together, so they don't have to hand over all their wages to their parents.
This is much better than many sons and daughters-in-law, who still live and eat with their parents and have to hand over all their monthly wages.
It would be fine if parents were not partial, but if they are, the most tired and filial child would not get a penny and would have to work like a slave for the family.
"Mom and Dad, this is living expenses."
Zhang Mengyao handed the money to her mother in front of her father and siblings.
"good."
Mother Zhang didn't count and just took it.
"Dear brother, this is the meat money for tomorrow."
Zhang Mengyao gave a big unity card to her brother.
"More."
Zhang Mengzhi took a look and said.
"Not much, there will be two more children tomorrow!"
Zhang Mengyao shook her head. In addition to the meat they brought, there was also meat bought by Zhang's father. It was conceivable that the Zhang family spent a lot of money on today's meal.
"All right!"
Zhang Mengzhi took the money and decided to get up early the next day to go to the butcher shop. In addition to cutting the meat, he would also bring back some bones to make soup, which could be drunk and also used as a side dish for noodles.
The noodle soup is made from bones and children love it.
"It's better to go home."
She sent her husband to her brother's room to rest, and she went to the room she used to share with her sister.
Lying on the bed she wore before she got married, Zhang Mengyao fell asleep in a short while.
Only in this house could she sleep without any defense.
Zhang Mengyu was doing her summer homework. Seeing her actions, she gently put down her pen and pulled the summer quilt to cover her sister's belly.
"elder brother."
She tiptoed out of the house. Her parents had already gone back to take a nap. Only Zhang Mengzhi was writing something at the dining table in the main room. She leaned over to take a look and found that he was writing a manuscript.
"Why did you come out?"
Zhang Mengzhi saw his sister and put down the pen.
"My sister is asleep, and I'm afraid of disturbing her."
Zhang Mengyu dragged a stool over and sat next to him.
"good."
Reaching out and touching his sister's hair, Zhang Mengzhi felt pity for her understanding.
"Sister is too tired. Aunt Xia is too much. She is not a good mother-in-law."
Zhang Mengyu sighed.
"Alas, if I get married in the future, I will definitely find a family without a mother-in-law."
My sister's in-laws left a bad impression on her. It would be better if she didn't have a mother-in-law. Anyway, it was the same whether she had a mother-in-law or not. She couldn't help much. It would be less troublesome if she didn't have one.
"You are still young. Don't rush to get married. Study hard and try to get into college. It doesn't matter if you never get married. I can support you."
Zhang Mengzhi didn’t care whether his sister got married or not. Even if she didn’t, she had him as her brother, so it wouldn’t be a problem for her to raise her.
As for the elder sister, who made her fall in love with Xia Dayong! The two of them were in love without telling the Zhang family at the beginning, and when the Zhang family found out, the two of them had a deep relationship.
If they were to forcefully separate the couple, Zhang Mengyao would only hate her parents. There was no other way, the Zhang family could only accept this son-in-law. Fortunately, he was really good to Zhang Mengyao, and even his children could not compare to the status of his wife in his heart.
"I understand, brother."
Zhang Mengyu nodded, picked up the manuscript he had written and started reading.
"Brother, are you going to submit again?"
Zhang Mengyu thought that the articles were very similar to what his brother had written before, all of which were articles praising the country. His brother had earned a lot of royalties from them before.
"Yeah." Zhang Mengzhi nodded. This was one of his ways to make money.
There were few ways to make money in the past, and contributing articles was the safest and least-effortful way he could think of to make money.
He is young and cannot do physical work, but he has to go to school.
Moreover, such articles that promote positive energy are very popular among major publishing houses and newspapers.
Zhang Mengzhi didn't write all of them well, he also made some suggestions, of course these suggestions were very practical, so every one of Zhang Mengzhi's manuscripts was passed and his royalties were much higher than at the beginning.
"Then when you earn some money from writing, you have to treat me to a meal."
The young girl has already begun to seek benefits for herself.
"good."
Zhang Mengzhi would not restrict her sister's nature as long as she did not make mistakes on matters of principle.
The same goes for Zhang Mengyao. Before she got married, Zhang Mengzhi had been trying hard to guide her to become a woman of the new era, not to be a man's appendage, and to have her own work and ideas.
"Then brother, please continue writing. I want to read more."
The little girl rearranged the letter paper.
"Um."
Zhang Mengxiao picked up the pen and continued writing.
The brother and sister wrote and read respectively. Except for the rustling sound of the pen on the letter paper, the whole room was very quiet.
Zhang Mengyao and Xia Dayong didn't get up until their parents woke up from their nap.
"I haven't taken a nap for a long time. I feel comfortable all over after taking one."
Zhang Mengyao walked out with her neck twisted, and the depression on her body became less severe.
"Next year, we'll move out and rent a house near my parents. What do you think, Yao?"
Xia Dayong walked over to massage his wife's neck and made the suggestion.
"good."
Before Zhang Mengyao could say anything, Zhang Mengyu cheered first.
"You know what's good?"
Zhang Mengyao rolled her eyes at her sister. She hadn’t agreed yet!
"Sister, you and your brother-in-law live near our house, and I will be able to see you every day from now on."
Zhang Mengyu hugged her sister. She felt uncomfortable for a long time after her sister got married, and she would look for her sister when she woke up at night.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
Zhang Mengyao did not give a direct answer, but promised to consider it carefully.
Since you're considering it, then there's a way. Zhang Mengyu didn't force her sister to agree immediately, because there were still many issues to consider in reality, and they could only move out after they were resolved.
However, Zhang Mengyao was moved by her husband's proposal.
Being close to my parents' home and far from my husband's home, and being able to go back to my parents' home from time to time, this proposal is hard for many married women not to be tempted!
The couple chatted with their family for a while before reluctantly standing up.
"Sister, you guys are coming over again tomorrow, is it that serious?"
Zhang Mengyao looked at her sister holding her mother's hand tightly and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Very much."
Zhang Mengyao glared at her younger sister fiercely, but her younger sister was still young and didn't understand her feelings.
When a married girl comes back, she is not called home, but her parents' home. Even if her parents, brothers and sisters do not say anything and still treat her as a member of the family, her state of mind is different after all.
Even if your family doesn't care, people outside will have opinions.
How can a married girl live in her parents' home forever?
"Okay, send the two children here early tomorrow morning, and ride your dad's bike back today."
Mother Zhang let go of her daughter's hand.
"Okay, thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."
When Zhang Mengyao heard this, she immediately agreed happily.
With bicycles, they don't have to walk by themselves.
"Sister, brother-in-law, Dad is lending the bicycle to you and brother-in-law for work, do you understand?"
Zhang Mengzhi reminded from the side.
"clear."
Zhang Mengyao was smart and immediately understood what her brother meant.
The car was said to be borrowed, but in fact it was a gift from their parents to the couple. But this could not be said openly, because once the Xia family knew that the car was a gift from the couple's mother's family, they would definitely find a way to take the car away.
They only dare not ask for money if it is borrowed.
