Chapter 42: Old Yu is jealous of his daughter's money
"Sister-in-law, if you don't want to eat the candy in the future, just give it to me!" Su Tang smacked the fruit candy, smiling with her eyebrows curved.
Other people’s sugar is sweet!
Li Lan was so angry that she turned and left.
Yu Miaomiao shook her head and laughed: "Don't be angry with her. She blames you when something goes wrong."
"Tailor Wang is really capable. If Teacher Qin doesn't accept you as his apprentice, you can work together with Tailor Wang in the future!" said Su Tang.
Yu Miaomiao nodded: "Yeah."
Tailor Wang was a chatterbox. After leaving the Mu family, she kept talking about how she had earned another ten yuan for Yu Miaomiao.
By the time she got home, almost everyone in the village knew about it.
When Old Lady Mu heard about this in the field, she stopped working, washed her hands and was about to go home: "Oh, my second daughter-in-law hasn't recovered from her concussion yet, I have to get her some eggs to nourish her."
"They are all wealthy people, so eating a few eggs is not a big deal. Our family will get better and better in the future."
"I will try to buy her a bicycle next year so that she can go to the city to hand in the drawings."
“…”
The aunties and grandmas have witnessed Yu Miaomiao's strength and can only stare at her with envy.
Yu Miaomiao's abilities spread to Xiaxin Village with the wind.
Old Yu was so tired after a day of work that his back and waist ached. On his way home, he heard someone say, "Old Yu, your daughter is amazing! She has only studied for a few years, but she can design clothes."
"What?"
"Old Yu, you are too tight-lipped. You should have asked for more betrothal money for such a capable girl. She can earn 15 yuan for just one picture!"
"How much?"
Old Yu was so shocked that he stuttered.
"Don't you know? Fifteen dollars! It's enough to buy a lot of pork."
"I also heard that the Mu family is planning to buy a bicycle to make it easier for your daughter to go into the city."
"Since she got married, the Mu family has been eating meat every day. They live a good life."
“…”
The more Lao Yu listened, the more upset he became.
Life is so good, why don’t you bring back a piece of meat when you visit your parents three days later?
outrageous!
"Old Yu, you beat Miaomiao last time because she came. What a breakup. Now you can't even smell a fart when she makes money."
"Is it possible that the Mu family deliberately alienated her from you and gave all the money she earned to the Mu family?"
“…”
Old Yu was shocked, and his waist and legs no longer hurt: "It's possible!"
"Stupid girl, I worked so hard to raise her, but she never gave me anything. She just made money for other people!"
"No, I have to break her legs!"
Old Yu picked up his hoe and turned away.
The people in the village who were making jokes were frightened by him and quickly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. There are several young men in the Mu family. Can you beat them?"
Lao Yu: ………
Now he can't even beat the daughter he raised!
Not to mention, Mu Jingyun, that smiling tiger!
"Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon? Why don't you invite your daughter and son-in-law back to celebrate the festival and talk it out. Miaomiao will still show filial piety to you in the future."
Lao Yu thought about it and put down the hoe: "You are right. I am just too rough and can't think of those things."
"Go home and have dinner! You don't have a wife, and your only daughter is married again..."
The old man from the same village left muttering to himself, and Lao Yu's newly-opened train of thought was blocked again.
He has no wife, and neither do his two sons. No matter how tired they are from work, they can't even get a warm meal when they get home.
You have to do it yourself!
So infuriating!
If I had known this earlier, I would not have married Yu Miaomiao off so early. She could have stayed at home to cook for a few more years and earn more money.
"Oh!" Old Yu sighed. When he got home and saw his two grown-up children waiting for him to cook, he became even angrier. "Can't you learn from your sister?"
"Dad, my sister fights with you, do we have to learn from her too?" said the eldest son Yu Qingben.
Lao Yu kicked him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Tomorrow, bring some bacon and go to Chahe Village to invite your sister and brother-in-law to come back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Dad, are you crazy?" Yu Qingben was shocked. "We don't even have enough meat to eat, why give it to her? A married girl is like spilled water!"
"What do you know? Your sister can make money now. She draws clothing designs and sells each drawing for fifteen yuan!" said Lao Yu.
Yu Qingben opened his mouth and blinked his eyes: "Really?"
"How can I still lie to you?"
"Then I understand. I will go find my elder sister tomorrow."
As dusk fell, Yu Miaomiao, who was far away in Chahe Village, was just about to draw a new picture when her nose suddenly itched and she sneezed violently.
"Second daughter-in-law, have you caught a cold?" Old Mrs. Mu asked kindly.
Yu Miaomiao shook her head: "No."
"Well, are you feeling dizzy? I cooked two more eggs for you, you can eat them quietly by yourself." Old Mrs. Mu really stuffed two boiled eggs into her mouth, which were still warm.
Yu Miaomiao: ………
I feel uncomfortable when I am suddenly favored!
"mother……"
"You are a capable person. I underestimated you in the past. Work hard in the future and tell me what you want to eat."
Faced with her mother-in-law’s care that was more than that of her own mother, Yu Miaomiao really didn’t know what to say.
"I know that you lost your mother when you were young. Your father is unreliable. From now on, your mother will love you." Old Lady Mu continued to express her opinion.
Yu Miaomiao felt there was no reason to refuse, so she nodded: "Yeah."
"When you have time, draw a dress for me. I will pay Wang the tailor to make it. The main thing is to let the villagers open their eyes and see your skills."
So this is the point.
But it doesn't matter.
The clothes given to Teacher Qin now are all fashion styles, which do not conflict with elderly styles.
So Yu Miaomiao agreed: "Okay."
Old Mrs. Mu was so happy that her eyebrows danced with joy. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to the door to crack them. She said to Old Mrs. Gao, "My second daughter-in-law is going to design clothes for me."
"Pooh!"
Old Mrs. Gao was annoyed by the good news coming one after another from the Mu family recently, and she spat fiercely.
Old Lady Mu was even more proud: "I just said that people should be good, right? Unlike some people who do evil all their lives, can't give birth to sons, and have no chance to enjoy the blessing of having a daughter-in-law..."
"Who are you talking about, Mrs. Mu?"
Old Mrs. Gao, who couldn't give birth to a son, jumped up and yelled, waving a broom.
"I didn't say who. I don't care who wants to take it personally." Old Mrs. Mu and Su Tang have been arguing for so long that they have both learned to be two-faced and smiling.
Old Mrs. Gao hated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's death. She wanted to hit her with a broom, but her daughter held her back: "Mom, don't take it personally."
"Chunyan, you should find a son-in-law so that I can show off my wealth." said Old Mrs. Gao.
Gao Chunyan: …
It's not hard to find a good son-in-law, but it's hard to find a son-in-law who lives with you! Otherwise, she wouldn't be single at the age of 23.
"Mom, why don't you let me get married..."
"Shut up! Your sister is already married. Are you going to marry again and leave me to live out my life alone in Chahe Village?"
Gao Chunyan stopped talking.
According to the custom in the village, she, as the youngest daughter, had to stay at home to find a husband. But it was really hard to find one!
If she wastes any more time, she will become an old maid!
Unless you can afford it.
"Mom, let's raise the price and make it a little more expensive than Yu Miaomiao's!" said Gao Chunyan.
Old Lady Gao was shocked: "The Yu family's betrothal gift is 188 yuan, how much more do you want to increase it?"
"Two hundred and eight!" Gao Chunyan gritted her teeth and went for it.
As long as she can recruit a good son-in-law, she is willing to spend the money!
