Comrade Su Youfu, he was basically drunk after just one glass of beer.
Half awake, he gave his daughter a handful of winter melon candy, and then went to Xiaoqi's grandmother's house to sleep.
Everyone is used to making fun of this son-in-law from Gumula Village. Every time he comes to participate in some activities, he basically behaves like this. After drinking a glass of beer, he goes to bed.
Xiaoqi's uncles are all big drinkers, and they can drink a box of wine at least.
My third uncle is particularly good at drinking. He can drink two kilograms of white wine by himself, and drinking beer feels like drinking water.
It’s hard to describe a brother-in-law who can get drunk after drinking a glass of beer...
Sheng Juanhua didn't care about the teasing. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here was her mother's family, she might have retorted fiercely. But since she was at her mother's house, she restrained herself a little and just smiled.
But in her heart, she felt that it was okay to get drunk after drinking a glass of beer. Her husband was not a heavy drinker and would only drink one bottle of beer at most. He was also good to his daughter and never favored boys over girls. Others thought that not having a son was a big deal, but her husband had never said that and was very kind to her and her mother.
Even if he fell asleep drunk, he would not act crazy or talk nonsense.
In fact, it's not that no one is jealous. Xiaoqi's aunt Sheng Meihua has never liked her elder sister since she was a child. She is the youngest, but she is not as pretty as her elder sister, and her personality is not as lively as her elder sister. Her brothers at home like her elder sister more, and she is the youngest but she does not enjoy the status of the youngest. After finally getting married, her elder sister married a disabled poor man, and she married into the city. She thought she had made a name for herself, but in the end, she knew the ups and downs of married life. She has seen her elder sister for more than ten years, and there has been no change. Her smile is still the same, but she has become much more mean. She is obviously a few years younger than her elder sister, but now when the two sisters stand together, they will misunderstand that she is the elder sister.
Her husband sells clothes and they have a car. When he is busy, she has to go with him to sell clothes and bargain with people. She makes a lot of money, hundreds of dollars a day when business is good. However, the businessman is very stingy and is reluctant to spend anything. He just pretends to be rich in front of others, but he is actually very stingy. He also doesn't like her to go back to her parents' home and dislikes her bringing things back to her parents' home in the countryside.
Both of them have sharp personalities and quarrel endlessly in life. In recent years, the stall has been set up at night, and her husband has disappeared during the day. He always goes out to drink and play cards with his friends, and no money goes through her hands.
Looking at her sister, she thought that she must be the one in charge of her brother-in-law's family's money. Although it wasn't much money, she was comfortable.
Moreover, my sister has been married for more than ten years, and the way her brother-in-law looks at her, haha... As a woman, Sheng Meihua knows what that means. After being married for more than ten years, her brother-in-law still looks at her as he did when they first came to see each other. Her husband hardly looks at her straight in the eye, and if he does, it's with disgust.
But her brother-in-law hasn't changed at all. Her sister is like a vixen. After more than ten years of marriage, she gave birth to a girl, who actually holds her husband's heart tightly, just like they are in love. Sheng Meihua feels very jealous.
She didn't have a huge hatred, and she didn't want her sister to have a bad life, but she was unhappy when she saw her sister living so well. When she saw Xiao Qi leave, Sheng Meihua suddenly said:
"Sister, I heard Xiaoqi didn't do well in the college entrance exam. Is it enough for tuition? If not, I'll talk to my Zhiliang and ask if he can lend me some. In my opinion, if it really doesn't work out, Xiaoqi shouldn't go to college. Look, Jinghua didn't go to college either, but she still married into a good family."
The banquet is coming to an end, and the women in the kitchen and the close relatives certainly cannot just walk away. They have to stay in the kitchen to clean up. The dishes, tables and chairs have to be washed and sent to the borrowed family.
In the village, when things get done, everyone just pools their stuff.
Sheng Juanhua was helping to clear the dishes. Sheng Meihua didn't leave, but she had no intention of helping. She always thought that she was married into the city and was a city person, so she usually didn't help with the work. She was eating a handful of melon seeds nearby.
Although the daughters-in-law have some opinions, since the daughters-in-law only come back a few times a year, they don’t bother to care.
However, as soon as Sheng Meihua said this, the buzzing sound in the room inexplicably became quieter, and everyone pricked up their ears, subconsciously listening to the gossip.
Some of the elders who knew her well thought that Meihua had been married for many years, but she was still as speechless as when she was little. Was it necessary to talk about this in public? The two sisters should just talk about it in private.
Sheng Juanhua didn't expect that her own sister would say this.
She subconsciously shuddered in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't want to borrow money, otherwise, in this situation today, she would have nodded even with tears in her eyes. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, she asked her sister to ask her brother-in-law.
"Meihua, who told you that? Xiaoqi did quite well in the exam. The school she applied to has a very high employment rate, so it'll be easy for her to find a job after graduation. Jinghua's marriage to a good family is Jinghua's own good fortune. It has nothing to do with her education. You don't have to worry about the tuition. Xiaoqi works as a tutor outside during the holidays and earns over 2,000 yuan a week. I forgot to tell you that Xiaoqi is also the swimming champion of our Jingnan Province. The competition she participated in the day before yesterday was broadcast on TV. Xiaoqi won first place and received a bonus of 15,000 yuan, which is enough to cover her tuition. Our village secretary said that Xiaoqi has brought honor to the city. Xiaoqi even bought new clothes for her grandparents with the money."
Sheng Juanhua finished speaking in one breath, and still felt it was not enough.
He took the unfinished sweet soup from the table, took a big sip and continued, "If you ask me, don't ask your brother-in-law to lend us money. Ask him to buy you some new clothes and a new pair of shoes. Look at your shoes. They've been worn for several years. Look at mine. They were bought for me by Xiaoqi out of filial piety."
Sheng Juanhua stretched out her feet, wearing beautiful red leather shoes.
It was bright red. The daughters-in-law present rarely wore this color. Only young people who had just gotten married wore such bright red.
But it looked very nice on Sheng Juanhua's feet, especially when she stretched out her feet, revealing her white ankles. It was made of frosted leather, and although it was red, it was not gaudy.
In fact, I saw it with many wives at first, so I wanted to ask where it was bought. Sheng Juanhua gave people the impression that she is good-looking and knows how to dress. Not only the shoes, but also the clothes are beautiful.
Sheng Meihua's face turned pale and red. She didn't expect her sister to answer her so straightforwardly. When she came back a few years ago, her sister was like a mute. No matter how she provoked her, her sister didn't say a word.
She had forgotten how fierce her sister was before she got married.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, the wives quickly changed the subject.
"Juanhua, where did you buy these shoes? The leather looks very soft."
"Juanhua, your clothes are nice too, very straight, and this coat looks great."
"These are two pieces, so they look good together."
The few of them quickly changed the topic and started talking about clothes and dressing.
Of course, I continue to be busy with the work at hand.
Sheng Meihua hadn't been working, so now she couldn't even pretend to be busy.
But seeing everyone surrounding her sister, she still said unhappily, "A little girl can make so much money as a tutor? Don't lie to you. Xiao Qi is pretty. What did she do in the city? Do you know?"
Sheng Juanhua, who no longer wanted to pay attention to her sister, was washing the chopping board. Upon hearing this, she took the kitchen knife and chopped the board hard, and the whole room was filled with clanging sounds.
The chopping board is made of ironwood and has a loud sound.
It scared everyone.
Sheng Meihua has been a bad-mouthed person since she was a child, so even though she is the youngest, she doesn't have the most lovable skills. When she saw her sister getting angry, she shrank her neck and wanted to walk out.
"Sheng Meihua, stop it right there! Is there any elder like you who would spread rumors about their niece? Xiaoqi is good at English and teaches seven students. Each student earns 150 yuan per lesson, and I teach two classes a week. If you have the ability, go teach. My daughter is upright and has been on TV. Lushan Channel 5 and Lushan Channel 1 News broadcast it. She even went to the TV station for an interview yesterday. I'm just too lazy to show off to you. Apologize to me today. If you don't, we can go to my parents and have a good talk."
"I just said that casually..." Sheng Meihua muttered.
Seeing that this was inappropriate, the others also tried to persuade her. Seeing that Sheng Juanhua was really angry, they persuaded Sheng Meihua to leave.
If you keep talking nonsense, your sister will have had surgery.
The dispute ended just like that.
Sheng Meihua avoided her sister, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't say anything, just asked what happened. She was going to stay for dinner, but she was so angry that she took her bag and called her husband to go back. Her husband didn't want to stay in the countryside in the first place, and didn't think much of these relatives in the countryside. Every time his wife would linger for a long time, and when she heard that she was leaving, she would drive away immediately.
When I got home, my two children were not there. They had gone to their aunt's house.
Originally, the whole family should have attended the wedding of her eldest brother's daughter, but in the end, only she and her husband went.
Her husband's family looked down on her mother's family in the countryside, and her parents-in-law were even more so. They were unwilling to let her take the child back, which naturally affected the child's outlook.
As soon as my husband came back, he disappeared and went out to play cards again.
She was so angry that she fell asleep while watching TV.
When she opened her eyes, it was dark outside and the TV was still on.
Sheng Meihua rubbed her eyes and saw that her niece had actually run onto the TV.
Sit there upright.
Next to her is Jiang Yiru, the most popular host in Lushan City.
Is she dreaming?
