Chapter 49: Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, whoever is a mother has to make amends
When they arrived home, not only Zhong Meixian but also Gu's sister-in-law, Gu Jin, were sitting in the Gu family's yard.
The wild vegetable basket was too full, so Wen Tang came back with the melon seeds in his hand.
A large bag of melon seeds is particularly eye-catching.
Zhong Meixian had already told Gu Jin about the matter of picking wild vegetables in name only but actually buying snacks.
Because when Gu Jin came, he saw that Zhong Meixian was the only one in the yard, so he couldn't help but ask a question.
It would have been better if Gu Jin didn't ask, but he did. When Zhong Meixian mentioned this strange thing about her family, she couldn't help but slap her thigh and tell it again.
Gu Jin had already witnessed the outrageous behavior of the two new brides last time, but she never expected that there was nothing more outrageous, only the most outrageous.
It's just outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It's outrageous to the extreme.
"This... is she so nice?"
Zhong Meixian nodded. "Well, that's nice of you. That's really nice of you."
"If you don't believe me, come back later and take a look!"
Gu Jin nodded.
By the way, he complained to Zhong Meixian about Luo Qiao, "Don't get in touch with the two sisters surnamed Luo in the future. They are not good people."
"That sister was saved by Yan Li anyway, but do you know what that sister said yesterday?"
Zhong Meixian shook her head.
Gu Jin was so unlucky that he said, "How shameless! You actually made up a story about Yan Li's wife, saying that she is fickle..."
"How shameless!" Zhong Meixian immediately stood up in anger, and it seemed that she wanted to fight with others!
Gu Jin quickly pulled the person back, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, An Cheng scolded them and forced them to apologize at that time."
"I came here to tell you not to be fooled by them. I heard someone came to see you yesterday evening, right?"
"Oh, that's because he went to Zhongguo to complain but failed, and was scolded by Ancheng, so he behaved himself. And I don't know what evil he is up to!"
"I'm telling you, the two of them might be making a fuss. Today, they asked someone to tell Zhongguo that they want to cook on their own and not eat at the educated youth's place!"
"If they don't build a stove, they will complain to the municipality. Zhongguo has no choice but to arrange for someone to build a stove for them. Just imagine how it goes on day by day."
Zhong Meixian was shocked, "He is really noisy."
As the two were talking, Wen Tang and others came in.
Because of what Zhong Meixian had said in advance, Gu Jin's first glance fell on the melon seeds in Wen Tang's hand.
Gu Jin: My goodness, this is such a big bag of melon seeds. Normally, no one would be willing to buy so many during the Chinese New Year, right?
I heard that you bought candies, peach cakes and other things last time, no wonder you could fill a whole basket, this...
Her niece-in-law is such a greedy person!
In Gu Jin's opinion, Wen Tang is the only one in the area who is so greedy!
When Wen Tang saw Gu Jin sitting there, he smiled politely and greeted him.
Chi Yue and the others also called for help.
Wen Tang even opened the melon seeds and gave them to people to eat!
Gu Jin waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's not a festival, I won't eat it."
As soon as Gu Jin finished speaking, Wen Tang asked, "Aunt, did you tell me?"
Gu Jin: "..."
"Oh, you kid, you..." Her face was full of embarrassment, "I..." She sat there, slapping her legs constantly, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and desperately winked at Zhong Meixian, hoping that Zhong Meixian would rescue her.
She said that with the intention of squeezing Wen Tang, but...
She glanced at Wen Tang, her face full of self-righteousness.
Gu Jin: This is really... How can a new bride be so shameless!
If most people were scolded like this by their elders at home, they would want to find a hole to crawl into. How come she is not ashamed at all and even dares to question her elder?
She thought again of the words she heard yesterday when she came to Gu's house. It turned out that those words were not only spoken to her sister-in-law, but also to her?
Otherwise, you see, as soon as I said this, she immediately became unwilling.
Fortunately, Zhong Meixian still had a conscience and knew to help her, "No, your aunt doesn't like to eat melon seeds. She gets angry when she eats them."
"It's not until the New Year or other festivals. There's nothing we can do. She doesn't eat it on normal days."
Gu Jin nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's right."
Wen Tang nodded and motioned for Lin Jiaojiao to bring a stool over. After sitting down, he opened the melon seeds and started eating. "Oh, so that's how it is. You are so unlucky, little aunt."
Gu Jin: "..."
No, she gave birth to three sons, all of them are tall and handsome, and she married three daughters-in-law who are also filial. Who would not say that she is blessed when seeing her?
This niece-in-law...
Thinking of this, Gu Jin's face looked a little embarrassed and unhappy.
Gu Jin is a close relative after all. Zhong Meixian was afraid that her daughter-in-law would offend him, so she quickly smiled and said, "You are talking nonsense, kid. How could your aunt not be blessed?"
"Your aunt is the most blessed person."
"Your aunt's three daughters-in-law are all very filial people. She doesn't have to worry about anything at home. Who in this area can compare to your aunt?"
Gu Jin felt that his sister-in-law was right and raised his chin unconsciously.
But Wen Tang also spoke up soon. She looked at Zhong Meixian with a smile and said, "But I think you are better, mom. You are good to me."
"You treat me like your own daughter. Although I am your daughter-in-law, you don't want me to work. When you are old, I will not want you to work either."
"Not only will I feed you delicious food every day, I will also hire someone to take care of you and let you live like an old lady."
"But when you are young, it's different to control your daughter-in-law!"
Chi Yue grabbed a handful of melon seeds and added, "That's right. You can tell a mother-in-law's character by the age of ten and a daughter-in-law's character by the age of ten. When the mother-in-law was young, she relied on her youth and strength to think that her daughter-in-law couldn't beat her. When she gets old and lies down on the bed, you have to be careful."
"If I don't get a bowl of rice a day and I'm always pinching it with my hands, that would be terrible."
Wen Tang spat out the melon seed shells, "Tsk tsk, that's too tragic."
At Lin Jiaojiao's age, she likes to hear gossip everywhere and interrupt others. At this time, she was able to interject, "Yes, yes, yes. I heard Aunt Six telling people at the intersection before that someone's wife from the East Brigade is like that. The old lady is in bed with maggots all over her body. No one cares about her. She howls day and night. It's so miserable." Lin Jiaojiao looked as if what I said was true.
Gu Jin sat there as if there were thorns on the stool, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat there.
But Wen Tang still wanted to ask, "Aunt, are our three sisters-in-law at home?"
She suddenly asked this, and Gu Jin subconsciously became defensive, "What...what happened?"
Wen Tang still smiled and said, "Nothing, I just thought that our two families live close to each other, and Yueyue and I just happen to be at home with nothing to do."
"You are my real aunt, my great aunt, not an outsider. So I naturally want to visit you and talk to my three sisters-in-law."
"Didn't mom just say that my three sisters-in-law are all diligent and filial daughters-in-law? I just married into the Gu family and have no experience in being a daughter-in-law. I wanted to go and learn from them."
When Zhong Meixian heard this, she was so happy that she almost poked Gu Jin with her hand to ask her to respond quickly.
But Wen Tang's next words left both of them dumbfounded.
"The old saying is true. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Whoever has a hard time as a mother should make amends. Why is the first thing a daughter-in-law does when she enters the family the daughter-in-law is to be filial to her parents?"
