Chapter 74: Still Too Few Husbands
Gu Jin was actually a little shaken by his son's earnest words.
She has been used to being wronged all her life.
Now considering the overall situation, it seems that there is no problem in inconveniencing myself once.
And I eat with the children, and Xu Huaishan and I still have two rooms...
Just as she was beginning to waver, she heard Wen Tang say, "If cousin is willing to take care of my aunt, just prepare meals for her every day. Then we will all praise you as a filial son."
Xu Ancheng was a little anxious when he heard this, "What does that look like?"
"Won't others laugh at me if they see me?"
Wen Tang smiled and said, "What are you talking about, cousin? If you serve a bowl of rice to your own mother, people will only say that you are filial, how can it be laughed at?"
Xu Ancheng just said as a matter of course, "My mother is in good health. If she was not feeling well, I would definitely serve her meals every day."
"If I feel uncomfortable, does that count?" Wen Tang asked as a matter of course.
Xu Ancheng: "..."
Gu Jin's wavering heart was completely calmed down by the conversation between his niece-in-law and his son.
She said to Xu Ancheng, "If you really think I am embarrassing, it's okay. When you go out in the future, you don't have to say that I gave birth to you. Just say that you jumped out of a crack in a rock."
"If it still doesn't work, you can ask the brigade to issue you a certificate, a certificate of severing the parent-child relationship. Don't worry, I won't need you to take care of me in my old age." Gu Jin said decisively.
Xu Ancheng was really panicked, "No, Mom, I... didn't say anything!"
Wen Tang nodded and said, "Yes, my cousin just thinks that my aunt is too old to be separated from my uncle, so that you can be laughed at when you go out."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Anyway, those people don't dare to laugh at you in front of you."
"The most important thing is that my aunt suddenly stopped listening to my uncle, and the relationship in the family that had been balanced for decades suddenly became unbalanced."
"A family that used to be prosperous with more men than women has suddenly developed into one where women are more prosperous than men. Originally you just did farm work, and housework has nothing to do with you, the masters."
"Although you are not officials outside, you are the masters at home!"
"As a result of my aunt's resistance, you gentlemen who stay away from the kitchen have started to circle around the stove. How can this be allowed?"
"So you have to persuade your aunt to continue with her life as before."
"She can live in a room alone, but she can't fire a fire alone. What is this called... I'd rather my friend die than die," Wen Tang said, tapping his head.
"After all, it doesn't matter if my aunt and uncle are angry, but it's very important that it affects your three meals a day."
Xu Ancheng: "..."
Although Wen Tang's words sounded sarcastic, it must be said that what she said was indeed what Xu Ancheng thought.
Xu Ancheng scratched his head, unable to raise it.
Zhang Fen looked at her man and snorted, "So you men are all human beings, but we are not, right?"
"You guys don't want to cook, wash clothes, and take care of the house after work, so what did my eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and I do before?"
"You just do this for one day and you can't stand it?"
Wang Ying and Lin Juan also glared at Xu Ancheng at this time, and Gu Jin acted as if he had never been born, looking at him with indifference and disgust.
Xu Ancheng: "..."
So he's neither a human nor a human being, right?
He was clearly the one doing all the work, but he ended up being the most heartless one.
Xu Ancheng thought, if he had known this, he would not have come back to cook.
Xu Ancheng was a little angry, but he didn't dare to say anything. In the end, he just said cowardly, "I'm going to cook."
He also asked, "Yan Li, Aunt, you guys can eat here at noon. I'll steam some more rice."
Zhong Meixian quickly said, "No need to prepare our meal, we are just here to see your mother, sit for a while, and leave soon."
Xu Ancheng didn't say anything else and went to the kitchen in a cowardly manner.
Seeing him like this, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but say, "Ancheng is a good kid. He can talk, has life in his eyes, and is friendly to people."
"Yes, after all, he is the one who carries on the family line. Of course it's great that he is not a fool!" Wen Tang said again.
"You kid," Zhong Meixian couldn't help but scold her.
Wen Tang spread his hands, "Isn't that right?"
"Which girl has no life in her eyes at home?"
“I didn’t see anyone being praised!”
"Why should men be praised for doing housework?"
She pointed at Zhang Fen and said, "Look at your sister-in-law. She takes care of the kids, does housework and cooks. Why don't you praise her?"
Zhong Meixian was speechless.
Zhang Fen's eyes turned red because of Wen Tang's words. Yes, she had to take care of the child and do the housework by herself, because taking care of the child was not considered a job in everyone's eyes. Every time she cooked with her two sisters-in-law, they would imply that she was lazy.
She told Xu Ancheng about this, but Xu Ancheng always said that she was too suspicious.
I never thought about her difficulties.
So this time, Zhang Fen nodded first and said, "Sister-in-law, you are right."
Zhang Fen hugged the child tightly and said, "If there is a next life, I will also be a man."
"It's so good to be a man. As long as you finish the work in the fields, you don't have to worry about housework, let alone taking care of the children."
"There's no need to have children yet," Wen Tang added.
Zhang Fen nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that's right. When I gave birth, it was so painful."
After Xu Ancheng went to the kitchen and scooped up the rice in a dustpan, he stood at the kitchen door holding the dustpan. It seemed that he was picking up the dirt in the rice, but he was actually secretly listening to Wen Tang and the others talking.
He always felt that after his cousin's wife left, life would become more difficult for his three brothers.
When Wen Tang heard Zhang Fen say that childbirth was painful, he said to her, "So, we women have to take care of ourselves."
"When you're looking for a man, you have to look for one who can do laundry, cooking, and all the housework."
"If you don't have choices in life, then others will choose you."
After hearing this, Zhang Fen and her two sisters-in-law all turned to look at Xu Ancheng who was standing at the kitchen door picking up rice.
Xu Ancheng: "..."
Wen Tang also said, "Only a good man can be born under an iron fist. Sometimes we women are just too gentle."
Xu Ancheng: "..."
He looked eagerly at Gu Yanli, his cousin.
But Gu Yanli turned his gaze away indifferently, not looking at him or his cousins-in-law, which was considered as tacit agreement with what his wife said.
Wang Ying couldn't help but said, "After all, the men are stronger than us. If they really attack us, we won't be able to defeat them."
Chi Yue couldn't help it now, "I beat you, why are you still with a man like him?"
"It's hard to find a three-legged toad in this world, but is it hard to find a two-legged man?"
"There are so many men in this world!"
Wen Tang nodded in agreement, "To put it bluntly, my husband has found too few people."
Gu Yanli: "..."
Um?
Are you looking for too few husbands?
How many does she plan to find?
Are you taking advantage of your menstrual period to do whatever you want?
Gu Jin: As expected, we cannot let her niece-in-law and nephew-grandson-in-law meet our three daughters-in-law. If they meet, they will all be led astray.
But it doesn’t matter now!
