"Grandma, don't worry. I mean we should go to Second Uncle's workplace and make a scene, so that he will honestly hand over half of his salary to the family every month."
"Is this possible?" Old Mrs. Song's eyes lit up.
"Don't worry, grandma. Let's try to coax Second Uncle first. If we can't coax him back, we have no choice but to resort to this last resort."
The Song family members looked expectantly at Old Man Song who was smoking a pipe on the kang, waiting for him to speak.
Old Man Song exhaled slowly, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "No, the second brother is a person who will only respond to soft words and not hard ones. Doing this will only backfire. Let's think of other ways slowly."
"Old man—"
Being glared at by her old man, Old Mrs. Song could only close her mouth unwillingly with a wrinkled face.
......
The next day, Du Xiaoying went to the river early in the morning to collect the small fish in the basket she had carried yesterday. She was so happy to see the lively little fish that she couldn't stop smiling.
"What are you talking about? You're so happy. I can hear it from far away."
"Mom, Dad also bought us beautiful red hairbands." Several sisters shook the hairbands on their braids.
"It looks so beautiful~" Wu Ya pinched her little bun.
Du Xiaoying kissed Wu Ya's soft little face, "Oh~ My dears are so beautiful! They are like fairies in the sky."
Daya blushed embarrassedly and chuckled.
Erya and Sanya happily swung the red hairbands on their pigtails.
Siya and Wuya proudly shook the short tufts on their heads and grinned foolishly.
Song Guoliang walked over with a smile, lowered his eyes to look at his wife's face which had become more beautiful in recent days, and took out two light white ribbon-like hair ties from the pocket of his work jacket, "Wife, these are your hair ties."
Du Xiaoying frowned and refused without thinking, "I'm already old. If I take her out, people will laugh at me. Give me—"
Song Guoliang didn't say much. He raised his hand to tie his wife's braid. His movements were a bit clumsy and the braid was tied crookedly.
Du Xiaoying was suddenly embraced by the man, her body enveloped by the scent of male hormones. Her eyes were wandering and she pursed her lips unnaturally.
"It looks good!" Song Guoliang lowered his eyes and praised word by word.
Her ears were burning from the man's deep, magnetic voice, her head was dizzy, and she stared in disbelief as she met a pair of sharp, deep black eyes.
"Mom, it looks good!"
Du Xiaoying glared at the girls who were making a fuss in an angry manner, and reached out to take off the beautiful hairband on her braid, but her wrist was grabbed by the man.
Song Guoliang's eyes were burning, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was low, "Don't take it off, it looks good!"
Du Xiaoying's face flushed red, she shook off the man's burning hand and ran out, "I'm going to pick some green onions."
Daya hurriedly shouted, "Mom, there are green onions in the house."
Sanya laughed and said, "Big sister, Mom is embarrassed~"
Song Guoliang coughed lightly, his ears burning, "Be careful or your mother will get angry!"
Du Xiaoying, “….”
.....
When it was time to go to work, as soon as Du Xiaoying showed up, someone noticed the brand new hair tie on her braid and said with envy, "Da Ya Ma, your hair tie is really beautiful. It must be quite expensive, right?"
Erya said crisply, "Auntie, this is something my dad bought for my mom."
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true."
Old Lady Song cursed inwardly, "Shameless, all you know is to cling to men!"
Liu Lanhua was so jealous that her eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Shameless bitch, Lao Er is really blinded by dog shit."
.....
Du Xiaoying looked at everyone's envious eyes, her old face flushed a little, but a sense of pride and joy rose in her heart. She smiled and nodded, "My husband Guoliang bought me one when he bought hairbands for the children."
Zhao Hongtao's eyes were filled with envy. "Such a beautiful hairband, it must have been bought specially for me by Brother Guoliang. Stop being so modest, sister-in-law."
"Oh, look at other men who love their wives and buy them all kinds of things. When they get home, they help with the laundry and cooking. And then look at my wife, she's like paralyzed when she gets home. She's as lazy as a toad, barely moving at all."
"Da Ya's mother is so lucky. Her husband is capable and takes care of the family, and her child is so sensible and obedient..."
Du Xiaoying almost couldn't suppress the smile on her face when she heard the envious words of the women around her. Her family also felt that Comrade Song Guoliang was good in every way!
Liu Da Jiao smiled and nudged Du Xiaoying with his arm, whispering jokingly, "You know what, there aren't many men as good as yours in this town. You've found a treasure, so just smile secretly."
Du Xiaoying raised her eyebrows. "I can't find anyone else like him in this town. He should be happy to marry a capable and capable wife like me."
"Hahaha...it's true. You two are the best in the whole town. No wonder you two are a couple." Liu Dajiao laughed.
"By the way, are hair ties expensive? Not expensive. I want to buy one for my Yueya and Douya."
"The most ordinary one, let my Jia Guoliang bring it to you."
"Okay! Bring me two." Liu Da Jiao gritted her teeth, also wanting to make her daughter happy.
.....
"I'm so tired! If I had known going to the countryside would mean I'd become a farmer working in the dirt, I wouldn't have gone there even if I died."
"Cousin, it's done. It's better not to say such things. Be careful that the villagers might hear and get upset."
Zhang Xian pouted and looked sullen, but was reluctantly dragged by her cousin to continue working.
Liu Dajiao frowned, "These spoiled educated youth act as if we really want them to come. Look at the little work they do."
Du Xiaoying glanced at the pair of cousins not far away and deliberately raised her voice and said, "Hei Mei, do you still remember the incident with the Big Five Brigade two years ago?"
Liu Da Jiao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the place not far away, and said in agreement: "I remember, of course I don't remember. That family was so mean. Seeing that the educated youth from the city had a rich and powerful family, they deliberately arranged for the educated youth to sleep with their daughter, and then caught them in the act. The educated youth was afraid of being beaten to death, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and marry the girl..."
"We've seen this kind of thing too many times!" Du Xiaoying sighed. "So, sometimes you can't show off your wealth too much, or you'll easily attract bad guys!"
In the field not far away, two faces were pale, without a trace of blood, and I felt a surge of fear in my heart.
.....
After waking up from his afternoon nap, Song Guoliang pushed a cart up the mountain and returned home with a cart full of firewood before getting off work in the evening.
Before the mother and daughter got home from work, he had already prepared the meal and even fed the chickens.
Looking at his wife and daughter who came back chatting and laughing, he turned his gaze to the light-colored hairband on his daughter-in-law's braid swaying in the wind, and the smile on the corner of his lips unconsciously widened. "You must be tired, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
Watching the man skillfully serving rice, Du Xiaoying smiled and jokingly said, "Comrade Song Guoliang, do you know what everyone in the brigade calls you now?"
"Call her?" Song Guoliang looked at his wife.
"You've washed your husband three times!" Du Xiaoying stared at the expression on the man's face with a smile, "Do you know why?"
