Boss Zheng: "Of course it's you. I have to go to the fields to work."
"I don't work in the fields?"
"Just do less work. Just four or five work points a day will be enough."
Mrs. Zheng thought carefully. Wouldn't it be better if she could do less work now? If she couldn't avoid the housework, then she could just work less hard in the fields. Now wasn't the right time to divide the family. Divide? How? How much money and property would be given to them? It was hard to say.
Life after the separation may not be better than it is now, and will probably be even worse.
Forget it, just grit your teeth and bear with it.
Thinking of this, she got up from the kang and went to make lunch.
Mrs. Zheng finished making lunch in silence and signaled to Mr. Zheng to call people to eat. Even though she had to compromise with reality, she really didn't want to say anything to this family at this moment.
Boss Zheng stood in the yard and shouted, "It's time for dinner."
The family responded quickly and sat down at the dinner table without waiting for any invitations. This was considered as giving each other a way out.
Only Zheng Lanping had a hint of disdain in her eyes. She had just made such a big fuss, but she still had to go and cook obediently.
Zheng Xiaojun, who had been playing and running around outside, came back and sat at the table just in time for dinner.
Boss Zheng laughed at him: "You are a lucky guy, why don't you come back a little later? Next time, come back later, wait until we finish eating."
He missed the quarrel, but he did catch up with the meal.
Zheng Xiaojun ate voraciously and ignored him.
After lunch, Zheng Dasao went to wash the dishes. When the gong rang for the afternoon shift, Zheng Dasao said to Zheng Laoda, "Mom's been looking after the kid all morning and is tired. I'll stay home this afternoon so you can have a meal when you get home in the evening. I won't be coming over this afternoon. Please tell the scorekeeper."
She could stay home and take care of the children and do housework after the separation, or she could have stayed home and done the housework without the separation. Why did she choose to do it all before?
Boss Zheng: “…”
Zheng Ersao also said: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is true. It's very tiring to look after a child. Let Mom take a break. I will stay at home and take care of the child in the afternoon."
Zheng Laoer: "..."
Li Aiyun slammed the table and said, "What are you two doing? Are you trying to rebel? If you don't go to work, what will you eat and drink? You let the master go out and work hard while you stay at home and enjoy a leisurely life. Is that right? Go back to work, the children don't need you to look after them."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said, "Mom, look at what you said. As the saying goes, 'Marry a man, and you'll have clothes to wear and food to eat.' I've married Guoxin and given him three children. Isn't it his responsibility to earn work points to support us?"
Besides, I didn't eat for free. I have been earning work points before. I went to work in the morning and took care of the children at home in the afternoon. I also wanted you to have a rest. I saw that you were tired, so you were easily angry at noon.
If you are not satisfied with a daughter-in-law like me, then I really don’t know what kind of daughter-in-law can satisfy you. Those who can’t do anything and do nothing will be hated to death by their mother-in-law, right?
Li Aiyun's face turned pale and he started to speak sarcastically about Lan Ping again!
Mrs. Zheng also chimed in, "That's right, Mom. My eldest sister-in-law and I feel bad for you. It's too tiring to take care of the child at home alone, and the child cries a lot, which makes you feel bad. It's better for us to take care of the child ourselves. That way, the three of us will feel better."
Li Aiyun was panting with anger, but she had no suitable words to refute.
Zheng Lao Da and Zheng Lao Er both hurriedly said, "Then you two shouldn't go out this afternoon. Just rest at home."
I hope they'll feel better after a rest this afternoon and stop making such a fuss. It's so annoying to keep arguing! What's going on? Mom, too. Can't we let Lan Ping do a little more work?
