[Task: Get the mother-in-law to accept using diapers for the baby.]
Ye Xiaoxiao originally thought that she could raise her own child however she wanted and give him whatever he wanted, without wanting to talk to her mother-in-law much. This is something that would be difficult to reason with even in later generations.
[What are the rewards for this task? If the rewards aren't good, I don't want to take it. This person is an old fogey. Let alone her, even if you replaced her with someone my age, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it.] Ye Xiaoxiao felt that this task was too difficult.
"You're just no good. You bought this thing, didn't you? How much did it cost? You just got your money back and you're already spending it recklessly. How long can you live like this? You've spent all your money on these things."
Liu Juan touched this thing; it definitely wouldn't be cheap, considering they haven't even started using toilet paper yet.
"My brother gave this to me, saying he'd send me more later. He said a lot of people over there use it, it's good, and they just throw it away after they're done. So..."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought that these things were cheap, costing a little over one yuan per piece, which would be about ten cents per piece now.
"One cent a piece." When Ye Xiaoxiao said one cent a piece, Liu Juan almost died of anger.
"What? One cent a piece? One cent can buy a pound of grain."
You can use them as diapers for your child. Don't let your brother buy you any more of these; you won't need them.
"Using it and then throwing it away? Even if you were a landlord, you wouldn't live like this!"
Before Liu Juan knew the price of this thing, she even thought about throwing it away. Now that she heard that it actually costs one cent per piece, it feels like her life is being taken away.
Uh, I think I misspoke, but saying it's one cent a piece is already quite cheap, isn't it?
That's why they say one cent per piece. What can you buy with one cent these days?
"Mom, you misheard me. I said two cents a piece."
Ye Xiaoxiao felt completely overwhelmed.
"Not even two cents. Those urinals are so useful. If they get wet, you can dry them in the sun, or put them under the mat to warm them up. You just have too much money in your hands."
You are not allowed to buy this stuff again. Use cloth diapers; the baby won't be uncomfortable.
You're incredibly lazy. You're already past your postpartum period and you still don't want to do anything. It's just washing and drying clothes.
"You're just a wife, all you do at home is cook and do laundry, right?"
"I don't want to. It's so cold, I can't stand it. You wash it yourself. The child only needs three diapers a day. Why do you have to use these? Mom, don't force yourself. This is much more convenient."
Neither adults nor children suffer. This thing was invented to make life easier for everyone.
Ye Xiaoxiao tried to explain to her mother-in-law.
"I'll wash it, fine. You can't use this stuff anymore. Call your brother right now and tell him to stop sending you these things. Don't waste money."
Seeing her daughter-in-law acting this way, Liu Juan had no choice but to say she would wash it herself. She simply couldn't stand seeing her daughter-in-law use things that cost money.
Ye Xiaoxiao was at a loss when she heard this. The other person wanted to wash it, so what could she say?
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, there's no need for your older brother to spend so much money to send these things from so far away. Let Mom do the washing."
Li Chenyang was used to it anyway. His mother was willing to do it, so he let her.
He didn't know how much it cost before, but now that his wife says it's one cent a piece, he feels it's too extravagant.
A pack of cigarettes only costs a few cents. Looking at that thing, he knew it definitely wasn't two cents. Judging from the way his wife's eyes were wandering when she spoke, he guessed that each cigarette was really one cent.
Think about it, using three tablets a day costs three cents a day, and a month's supply of this stuff for the child would cost three dollars. How can you not feel the pinch? Three dollars can buy 30 kilograms of wheat.
30 jin of grain is enough to feed their family of three for half a month.
Thinking of this, Li Chenyang looked at the cart again; it cost 80 yuan.
The food and drink alone could feed their entire family for eight months.
So, what exactly does my brother-in-law's family do? They're so rich.
Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to separate from her family because she didn't want to see her mother-in-law every day.
But since my mother-in-law said she'd wash the diapers, I'll just do whatever she wants. Let her wash them if she wants.
With this weather, we'll have to keep carrying water.
Let's freeze it again and see how long you can keep washing.
After that, her mother-in-law would come over every day at noon to help wash the diapers. Ye Xiaoxiao would hold the baby outside to sunbathe whenever she had free time.
"Sister-in-law, your mother-in-law is so kind. She comes over every day to wash your diapers."
Chen Shengli's wife is named Ma Yanling. She is dark-skinned and thin, with large eyes.
He's not very tall. He's currently sewing shoe soles.
Judging from the appearance, it was made for her own child. She's quite pregnant, probably a few months along.
"Yes, my mother-in-law is very hardworking. She always says I'm too lazy, and she's worried about me, so she comes over to help out."
Ye Xiaoxiao is indeed lazy. There are many things she can't do: she can't make shoes, she can't make clothes, she can't wash diapers, all she knows is how to live a good life.
In her mother-in-law's eyes, he was useless at everything.
"Where's your older brother? It's freezing cold, why isn't he home to lend a hand?"
"I don't know. He just disappeared after I carried two buckets of water for him. He's probably playing cards and drinking with his friends again."
Ye Xiaoxiao took two milk candies out of her bag and put them into Ma Yanling's daughter's hand.
"Yuanyuan, here, take this."
Chen Yuanyuan was already familiar with their family, so when the pretty aunt offered her candy, she happily accepted it.
"Auntie is so nice." The little girl, who had just learned to speak, wasn't very clean.
Ma Yanling glanced at the baby; it was unbelievably beautiful.
