Chapter 12 Can the family still make ends meet? (1/2)



Just because Jiang Yuman talked about their children on the train, both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law disliked her.

Isn't it just having a baby? It's like who hasn't given birth to a child, so why do you do nothing?

"Just wait." Zhou Yun said firmly, "This family will definitely suffer if they have this daughter-in-law. Without someone to earn work points, life will not be easy."

What’s the use even if the man in that family is tall and strong? Without capable women, everything is a waste!

Mrs. Cai nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply.

Although their family's livelihood fell sharply after they went to the countryside, at least everyone in the family was strong enough to go to the fields and earn work points.

This family's daughter-in-law doesn't even want to clean the house, so how can we expect her to go to the fields and get work points?

Work points are linked to food rations. If she doesn't go to the fields, there will be fewer people earning work points, and there won't be enough food. How can the family survive?

Compared to them, our family is already doing pretty good.

Just thinking about this, Zhou Yun felt a lot more comfortable.

The other side.

Jiang Yuman had no idea that Zhou Yun's entire family was waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

She sat outside the house and waited. Only after the family had cleaned up the place did Fu's mother call her in.

When she went in, Zhou Yun's place hadn't been cleaned up yet, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still busy like spinning tops.

Because there was only a public kitchen at the educated youth site, Fu's mother was afraid that she would be too late to clean up when the people came back, so after cleaning, she quickly took the buns made by her parents at home to steam them.

By the time she had heated up the buns, the educated youth had just finished work and were coming back here in groups of three or four.

The autumn harvest had just begun these two days. The educated youth had been bending over in the fields to cut wheat all day long, and they never had a chance to straighten their backs.

After a whole day, my waist is about to break, and I still have to wash and cook when I get home.

In this situation, even if they saw two families coming into the house next door, everyone was too tired to watch.

Zhou Yun wanted to build good relationships with these educated youth, so when she saw them starting a fire and cooking, she quickly took her food and went to the kitchen.

The Fu family did not join in the fun. As soon as they finished their meal, Yao Zhenjiang came over carrying a few bags of food.

As soon as he entered the house, he put a few bags in the room and said, "Our team doesn't have much cash on hand, so these are subsidies from our team. There are a total of 60 kilograms of corn flour, 60 kilograms of sorghum flour, and 10 kilograms of rice flour."

"We will distribute food after the autumn harvest. You will go to work tomorrow and we will distribute food according to your work points and number of people."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuman thought to herself: The autumn harvest only lasts for such a short time. Even if they work hard in the fields during this period and don't participate in the early sowing, they won't get many work points.

The key point is that they, like the educated youth, are outsiders, and they certainly don’t get as much food as the villagers.

Even if they get food according to the most optimistic calculations, the family still has to tighten their belts if they want to survive until the summer harvest.

Fortunately, I have my own space. If I don’t share the food, how can the whole family have enough to eat?

The other members of the Fu family had similar ideas, but they still took the food and said, "Okay, comrade, thank you for your help."

"It's okay." Yao Zhenjiang waved his hand indifferently, as he had to rush to deliver food to Zhou Yun's family, so he went out after saying that.

As soon as he left, Fu Wangshan took out the bag of flour and looked at Fu Jingchen and said:

"Jingchen, take these to the captain's house and tell him that his daughter-in-law won't go to work."

Before going to the countryside, the family decided not to let Jiang Yuman go to work. It is the most tiring season of autumn harvest right now, so I dare not let her go.

My daughter-in-law is pregnant. What if she gets tired from working?
