Chapter 86 Regretful Li Jing
In the afternoon, the sun was not so hot. Zhang Shiye brought Xia's father and mother, who had rested well, to the new house. As soon as they entered the yard, Xia's mother Gu Ning was attracted by the spacious and bright main room. She walked into the main room and saw the brand new furniture and decorations inside. She was very satisfied.
Then she came to the yard and saw the garden was full of various vegetables and there was a well. Finally she came to the kitchen and saw that it was clean and tidy with all the pots, pans, and utensils. She nodded secretly.
"Shi Ye, you have cleaned up this house so nicely that even I want to move here!" Xia Qingshan said with a smile.
Zhang Shiye breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as uncle and aunt are satisfied, I will never let Yangyang suffer with me."
At this time in the Dongfanghong Brigade, the news that Xia Wanyang's parents had sent a generous dowry had spread throughout the village. Zhang Heping, who had just finished work, was surrounded by everyone and had a headache.
"Captain, your accountant Zhang has found a good father-in-law. Don't forget our neighbors when you become successful in the future!"
"Yes, if Accountant Zhang goes to a big city to eat commercial grain in the future, remember to help us!"
"If Accountant Zhang and Zhiqing Xia return to Shanghai in the future, which son will your family give the newly built house to? Your eldest and third sons are divorced, and the second son is in the army. If he gets promoted in the future, won't the daughter of the Yuan family follow him to join the army?"
Aunt Qiao pushed through the crowd and said, "What are you talking about? You have already arranged everything for our family, right? Aren't you tired after a day's work? Let's go home and have dinner!"
Qian Guilan returned home angrily with her eyes turned upside down. Seeing Li Jing lying in the room, she immediately found fault with her and said, "You are so lazy. You don't work in the fields, cook meals, or wash clothes. Did our Song family marry a ancestor back home?"
Li Jing pouted, "Mom, I'm cooking and it's in the pot. I've put away the clothes after they've been washed and dried!"
Qian Guilan stepped forward and pulled Li Jing off the ground. "Why don't you take it out of the pot? Didn't you see we came back? Where is Changhe?"
Li Jing shook her head. "I don't know either."
"You don't know? You don't even know where your man is? What do you do for a living?" Qian Guilan said, pointing her finger at Li Jing's head.
Li Jing hid back for a moment, "Mom, even if you are being bullied outside, you can't come back and pick a fight with me, right? I just took a leave today because I was not feeling well, but I didn't neglect my housework. Why are you doing this?"
"Mom, Li Jing, is the meal ready? I'm starving!" Song Changhe's voice came in before he came in.
Qian Guilan's eyes rolled around, and she sat down on the ground with a plop. "Oh, I am such a poor old woman. I worked so hard to raise my son, but I didn't expect that I would have to endure the anger of my daughter-in-law!"
Song Changhe rushed into the house at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and pulled Qian Guilan up from the ground, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
Qian Guilan sighed, "Alas, Mom is old and useless!"
Li Jing almost laughed out of anger, "Mom, I cooked the meals and washed the clothes. I was out of bed for a day because of my period and stomachache. You're not crying, are you?"
Qian Guilan howled twice, "What did I say? You married my son, isn't it normal for you to do the laundry and cooking? Do you need to say it to take credit? Which daughter-in-law doesn't do these things? Look at Xia Wanyang, not only did her parents give her several big red envelopes as a dowry, but they also gave her such a big TV. This is the first time I've seen what a TV looks like in my life!"
Li Jing laughed twice, "So you are jealous outside and come home to vent your anger on me. You envy others for their large dowry. Do you know how much dowry Zhang Shiye gave? 666 yuan, three turns and one ring, not including the newly built house and furniture. If your family can give so much, I will also go home to get a dowry!"
Qian Guilan said, "You know nothing. The Zhang family is a family that makes a living from farming. Even if Zhang Heping found his son an accountant, he has so many sons that they can't afford these things. The bicycle and watch were bought by Xia Wanyang, and the house was also paid for by Xia Wanyang. We are both educated youth, so how come you are so much worse than them?"
Li Jing was too lazy to argue with her and lay back on the kang. Qian Guilan quietly scolded her son. Song Changhe picked up the broom and hit Li Jing without saying a word, "How dare you talk to my mother? I'm giving you face, right? Which old woman asks for leave when she has something to do? You are lazy and greedy, and you dare to talk back to my mother. I spoil you, don't I?"
Li Jing endured the pain in her stomach and hid while crying. At this moment, she felt so regretful. Why did she covet such a small profit in the first place? Why did she choose such a thing? Why didn't she keep calm and let him trick her back home with just a few words!
In the end, Li Jing was beaten and had to serve the three of them for dinner. Qian Guilan took a bite of the corn steamed bun and said, "This guy is such a jerk. He won't learn his lesson unless he is beaten!"
Li Jing clenched her fists so tightly that she didn't feel any pain even when her nails dug into her flesh...
The Zhang family had a happy dinner, and everyone was having a great time. Father and Mother Xia were very happy about the enthusiasm of Qiao Shuyun and Zhang Heping. They could also see that the Zhang family really valued their daughter.
After dinner, Qiao Shuyun took out a photo of Zhang Shiye when he was a child and showed it to Xia's parents. "He is the fourth child in our family. He has been the most popular since he was a child. Take a look, mother-in-law."
Xia Wanyang took a look and burst into laughter. Not only was Zhang Shiye in the photo wearing open-crotch pants, he also had a silly expression on his face while holding a big cabbage in his arms.
Zhang Shiye's ears turned red, he quickly snatched the photo and hid it behind his back, saying helplessly: "Mom, please save some image for me!"
Mother Xia and Aunt Qiao also laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs. Mother Xia waved her hands and said, "I think it's very cute."
Xia Shuqian and Xia Shuhan snatched the photo and laughed so hard that Zhang Shiye's face turned black.
The next day, Xia Wanyang led her family up the mountain. The mountain of the Dongfanghong Brigade was different from that of other brigades. It took about fifteen minutes to reach the top of the mountain, but the emerald green all over the mountain was also very beautiful at this time of year.
"Yangyang, don't go up the mountain alone for no reason, okay? If you want to come here next time, you must ask Shi Ye to accompany you!" Xia Shuqian warned worriedly.
Liu Yue agreed: "Yes, there can't be snakes here, right?"
Xia Wanyang screamed, "Ah, snake!"
Liu Yue jumped onto Xia Shuhan like a flying monkey, "Oh my god, get him away quickly!"
Xia Wanyang laughed out loud, "Hahaha, sister-in-law doesn't have a snake, I was just teasing you!"
Liu Yue blushed and jumped down in embarrassment, "Okay, you dare to lie to me!"
Xia Wanyang grabbed Xia Shuhan's arm and hid from Liu Yue, "You must be joking, sister-in-law, why are you still angry?"
Mother Xia shook her head, "You two are still the same as when you were little. You are married but still act like children!"
After playing enough in the mountains, they went to the river. After playing enough at the river, they went to the reservoir. The Dongfanghong Team walked all over the place for a whole day.
The bride and groom couldn't meet on the day before their wedding. Zhang Shiye missed the little girl so much that he could only keep finding work for himself. But when he thought that he would completely possess the little girl tomorrow, Zhang Shiye didn't think it was so hard anymore.
