Chapter 69 Li Aiyun's Little Thoughts
Amidst the harmony, there are also a few voices that are not very sociable.
Zheng family.
After hearing about the Xie family's affairs, Li Aiyun felt so complicated that she couldn't express it in words.
I didn't expect the Xie family's daughter to be so lucky. If I had known this, I should have asked the matchmaker to come more often and make sure to introduce her to the third child. That way, as the future mother-in-law, she should have some say in her work.
Moreover, once she said she was engaged, Zhang Ruifeng would probably feel embarrassed to take over the job from her daughter. It would be more reassuring to marry with a job. Zhang Ruifeng must understand this.
Then, since Xie Binbin had come with a job, she could persuade her to give it to Lan Ping. She was even confident she could convince Xie Binbin. After all, she had already married into the family, so what was wrong with doing something for her sister-in-law? Her husband was an officer, and he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. A job was dispensable to her, but it was different for Lan Ping. It was related to Lan Ping's lifelong happiness.
She just doesn't believe she won't compromise.
Once she had a job, Lan Ping's future was secure, and her chances of marrying a city dweller increased. Even if she couldn't, she could always find someone in the commune who also ate commercial grain. Even if she still chose to marry a peasant, wouldn't her in-laws provide for her with a job and income?
well!
Li Aiyun grabbed her chest in frustration, feeling so uncomfortable that she could hardly eat. How could she have missed such a good opportunity!
That day at noon, while eating, Old Man Zheng saw that she was in such a bad mood, belching while eating, so he asked her, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to go to the hospital to see a doctor? Is your stomach upset?"
Li Aiyun was impatient. She put her bowl and chopsticks on the table with a clatter and frowned as she yelled, "So what if I'm not feeling well? I've never had a good life in all the years I've been married to you. I'm always busy, from morning till night. Sooner or later, I'll be exhausted."
She suddenly had an outburst. Except for her three biological children who didn't take it seriously and just ate and drank as usual, her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were a little nervous and tried their best to make their presence less noticeable at the dinner table.
Old man Zheng felt a little embarrassed to be glared at by his old woman in front of his children and grandchildren.
He said, "What are you talking about! I didn't provoke you, why are you angry with me for no reason? I have a good temper and I can tolerate you. Try someone else. Who can let you be so arrogant at home? You are the only one who has the final say in our Zheng family. Which old man is as cowardly as me and listens to his wife in everything?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately added fuel to the fire, and Li Aiyun roared even louder.
"Are you a coward? Have you ever done any housework? Have you ever washed the dishes or swept the floor? Of course you have a good temper if you don't do anything. If you did all the housework and let me sit there and rest every day, I would still have a good temper!
Am I arrogant? Do I have the final say? I am nothing! I am just a servant in your family. I married here to serve the old and then the young, but no one appreciates my kindness. "
Before, she was just upset because she missed out on benefits, but now the conflict has shifted and she really feels wronged.
Old Man Zheng's voice also became louder: "What are you yelling about? Are you going to let people eat? We had a good meal, but you had to make trouble for no reason. You think you'd feel better if you made everyone unhappy, right? I was kind enough to care about you, and I'm still concerned about something going wrong, right? You don't know what's good for you!"
He simply put the bowl on the table and threw the chopsticks away.
The old couple was at loggerheads.
Seeing this, Zheng Guoxin, the eldest son of the Zheng family, had no choice but to intervene. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Dad, Mom, can you please stop arguing? It's nothing serious! Mom, my dad only cares about you. If you're sick, go see a doctor. If you're not sick, forget it. Why are you saying so much? How can we eat after you two are arguing like this?"
The second oldest, Zheng Guolin, and the youngest, Zheng Lanping, also chimed in, "That's right."
Seeing this, the eldest daughter-in-law reached out and pinched her little daughter, and the little girl cried out "Wow!" The eldest daughter-in-law quickly stood up and said, "I'll take the child home to comfort her, so that she won't be upset by her crying."
After saying that, she took her little daughter and left. Her eldest son, who was already 7 years old, saw his mother and sister leave, and then looked at the situation at the scene. He reached out and grabbed three pancakes, jumped down from his seat, and ran away after his mother.
The second son's wife did the same thing and also slipped away with her daughter. However, she didn't have a sensible and perceptive son to help her get food, so she could only reach out and grab two cakes herself and escape under the murderous gaze of her mother-in-law.
With only the Zheng family left at the scene, Li Aiyun felt disheartened and no longer had the heart to argue. She didn't even bother eating, simply left the table, and went back to her room to lie down.
After she left, the second son, Zheng Guolin, asked his father, "What happened to my mom? Did you really not offend her? Did you do anything to offend her outside?"
Zheng Dayong's face almost turned purple: "Bullshit! I'm an honest man, earning work points every day. I'm hanging out with you two bastards all day long. Don't you two know exactly what I do every day?
Today I asked her if she meant well. What did I do to make her say that? I didn't wash the dishes, sweep the floor, or do the laundry, but didn't I feed the pigs? Didn't I leave the pigpen? Didn't I do all the dirty work?
Besides, this is all in the past. Now it's my daughter-in-law who does the laundry and cooking, and you two are the ones feeding the pigs. She doesn't do anything at home, so why would she blame me?"
The three Zheng siblings: "..."
Zheng Guoxin scratched his head: "Then why is she doing this?"
Zheng Dayong snorted, "Don't worry about her. Let's eat our own food. We've spoiled her!"
Li Aiyun lay on the bed, listening to the conversation outside, without feeling any warmth in her heart.
The intensity of the quarrel just now has passed.
She has calmed down a lot.
She couldn't say out loud what she really thought, because that was shameful and dirty. She really felt the pain of not being able to express it.
At this moment, she could only curse Xie Binbin in her heart as a fool. She gave the job to her mother, and Zhang Ruifeng would definitely let Xie Mumu take over in the future. What would she have to do with it? She couldn't even think of this, which showed that she was a brainless person. Marrying such a person might not be a good thing. Maybe she would even steal things from her husband's family and go back to support her younger brother.
It’s better not to let her become the daughter-in-law of the Zheng family.
Maybe marrying her in would persuade the third brother to take advantage of her, and let Xie Mumu also get benefits from the third brother.
Although Xu Wumei's current conditions were not as good as hers, no one from the Xu family had ever gone to their parents' house to steal things after they got married. This was 100% certain.
From this perspective, five is more beautiful.
