Chapter 388
At this moment, the Yao family.
Yao's father and Yao Hong were indeed arguing about cooking and taking care of Aunt Xie.
Without Zhong Lan, Aunt Xie could only stay in the house all day. When Aunt Xie got tired of staying in the house, she would make "ahhhh" sounds to express her protest and even throw things.
Every day when Yao Hong and his father returned home, his father would clean the dirt off Aunt Xie's body and change her into clean clothes, while Yao Hong would cook.
After finally finishing cooking and eating, they happened to see Aunt Xie poop again. The two of them would shirk responsibility and go to clean Aunt Xie's body and wash her dirty clothes.
This time, the two of them quarreled over whose turn it was to clean Aunt Xie's body and wash her dirty clothes.
"She is your mother! If you don't want to take care of your mother, will you not take care of me when I am old?" Yao's father said unhappily.
"Dad, it's not like I haven't taken care of Mom. I've never been idle since I came back to wash vegetables and cook. After you clean Mom up, you have nothing else to do and just wait for dinner. I've been busy until now, shouldn't you clean Mom up and wash her clothes?" Yao Hongdao.
"I'm the one who cleans your mother every time. This time it's your turn." said Yao's father.
"If I don't do it, I'll be exhausted. I've been busy at the factory all morning, and when I come back I rush to wash vegetables and cook. I don't even have time to catch my breath." Yao Hong was unhappy.
Yao's father was even more unhappy: "Aren't I tired? I'm not busy at the factory! I'm older than you, and I don't have as much physical strength as you, but I'm just as busy as you!"
The two quarreled for a while, and finally glared at each other, neither of them wanting to care about Aunt Xie.
Yao Hong rubbed his head in annoyance. He really didn't understand why his life became like this after divorcing Zhong Lan.
"Dad, have you heard anything about the matchmaking?" Yao Hong said, "Our family is in need of a woman who can take care of the household well. If I get married, we can both breathe a sigh of relief."
"You think I'm not anxious about your marriage?" Yao's father said sullenly, "I've asked many matchmakers, but no one is willing to find a match for our family."
"Why? You and I are both workers, earning double wages. Our family conditions are not bad at all! It is a blessing for a female comrade to marry into our family!" Yao Hongdao.
Father Yao sighed, "It's all because of your sister and your mother. Your sister may be pitiful and innocent, but to put it bluntly, she's a murderer. Many girls' families are very taboo about this. Plus, your mother has become like this now, so if a girl marries into this family, she'll definitely have to take care of your mother. Just based on these two reasons, many families don't want their daughters to marry into this family."
Yao Hong was a little angry: "They have long hair, short vision, and no vision. They don't even think about how well-off families like mine with two working parents are. Do they want to marry their daughters here? Do their daughters have to do no work at all?"
After a pause, Yao Hong continued, "Dad, find a few more matchmakers. With our family's conditions, how could there not be a girl willing to marry into our family!"
Father Yao nodded as a response, but the worry on his face showed that he was not very confident.
What should they do if they can't get married to Yao Hong?
When the Yao family was arguing, many families in the compound were at home listening in, and the Yue family was one of them.
Aunt Yue pricked up her ears and listened for a long time. Seeing no sound coming out, she murmured in a low voice, quite regretful, "Is the quarrel over already?"
Yue Cai laughed and said, "What else? What kind of quarrel do you expect the Yao family to have?"
Aunt Yue said while eating, "It seems that there must be a woman in this family. Without a woman, the family is not a family. Look at how many times Yao Hong and his father quarreled after he divorced Zhong Lan."
Yue Cai glanced at Su Fen and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, having a virtuous daughter-in-law makes the family much more presentable."
Aunt Yue was unhappy when she saw Yue Cai and Su Fen exchanging glances.
She wasn't saying that to praise Sufen. Sufen was far from being virtuous!
Yue Xun was eating and watching Sufen and Yue Cai flirting with each other, and a dark look appeared in his eyes.
He deliberately smiled and said, "Indeed, my sister-in-law is very virtuous, and the food she cooks is getting more and more delicious."
Su Fen paused for a moment when she heard Yue Xun's words. She quickly glanced at Yue Xun, buried her head in her food, and said nothing.
When Aunt Yue saw Sufen like this, she felt that she was not presentable and not generous at all.
Yue Cai smiled and said, "Brother, you should find a wife as soon as possible. It feels so good to have a wife."
"I really want to find a wife." Yue Xun said, deliberately glancing at Su Fen before continuing, "But I haven't found a job yet, and no girl is willing to look at me. You're better off, brother. You have a stable job and can get married soon."
Aunt Yue suddenly thought, "Before, Ye Fuyun reported Ye Fuyue and the others for speculation and profiteering. It's been so long now, and we haven't seen Ye Fuyue and the others arrested or imprisoned. Is it really possible to trade now? Xun'er, why don't you start a small business yourself?"
Yue Xun looked at his mother coldly: "You are just hoping that I will be arrested, right?"
Yue Cai said: "No, how can I do such a thing? What if he is really arrested?" What if it affects his work?
Uncle Yue also sternly rebuked Aunt Yue: "You've got a donkey kicking your head, how can you keep saying such things! That's speculation! Ye Fuyue and the others weren't arrested because they were lucky. Yue Xun has only just returned from the countryside, where he suffered so much. Are you hoping that he'll be arrested for speculation and sent to forced labor?!"
Aunt Yue explained anxiously, "That's not what I meant. Yue Xun is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. How could I not hope for his recovery? I just want him to make money so that it will be easier to find a wife for him."
Yue Xun snorted coldly: "I think Mom just thinks I'm embarrassing her by staying at home all day."
"Oh, Xun'er, that's not what I meant." Aunt Yue saw that the more she talked about the more things were happening, so she said, "Forget it. Just think of me as someone who really got kicked in the head by a donkey and didn't say anything."
Although no one mentioned the matter again at the dinner table, the atmosphere was obviously much more depressing than before.
After dinner, Yue Xun helped Sufen clean up the dishes.
Aunt Yue said, "Xun'er, just leave it there and let Sufen clean it up."
Yue Xun's face was cold, but he kept moving: "I want to do some work, so as not to be despised again."
Aunt Yue knew that Yue Xun was still angry about what she had just said, so she explained helplessly, "Mom really doesn't dislike you."
But Yue Xun ignored her and went into the kitchen with the dishes.
