Chapter 67: Anxious to Return to Her Parents' Home
Not to mention things far away, when Xia Yougui quarrels with me, won’t he also be unable to resist hitting me?
The old couple have always favored Xia Yujiao, their daughter in their old age, and spoiled her to the extreme.
Xia Yujiao was clearly rejected from marriage, and she had a hidden illness. She might even be a hen that didn't lay eggs. Who in a decent family would be willing to marry her? Who wouldn't despise her?
She should be content if someone is willing to marry her! Why is she so picky about her nephew?
Then I think about my nephew from my mother's side. Apart from his poor family, he really has nothing wrong with me.
In terms of appearance, my nephew looks like me, tall, slender, with thin cheeks and a pretty energetic look. No matter how modest I am, I can say that he is a well-looking man;
When it comes to farming, my nephew is also a good hand and doesn’t spare any effort in his work;
Although my nephew had married a wife before, wasn't his sister-in-law also rejected by the Xie family? There is actually not much difference between a man being widowed and a woman being rejected!
My nephew already has two children, but they are both still young. The son is only three years old and the daughter is only five years old. They don’t remember much yet!
As long as my sister-in-law takes good care of them with all her heart in the future, there will be no problem for them to be acquainted with each other!
Anyway, Xia Yujiao is sick and can't give birth, so isn't this a win-win situation for both parties?
If the nephew from my mother's side and my sister-in-law could be matched together, it would definitely be a good match.
In fact, it’s not a big deal that my nephew’s family is poor - the old couple have always favored their daughter Xia Yujiao, so naturally they don’t want her to suffer.
If some of the money slipped through the gaps between the old couple's fingers, wouldn't it be made up by patching up and helping each other?
The more Sun thought about it, the more he felt that he was really smart.
My sister-in-law Xia Yujiao is in this situation now. Her engagement has been broken off and she has a physical problem. The man surnamed Jin came once as a matchmaker but disappeared without a trace the next moment. He probably found out her background and became disgusted with her!
If Xia Yujiao can't get married, won't she still have to rely on these brothers to support her in the future?
The old couple will certainly say that no one else needs to care, but they don’t think about how old they are. How long can they live?
In the future, when they get old, these two old guys will kick their legs, close their eyes, and swallow their breath, leaving only the sister-in-law as a burden. Won't she still have to rely on her brothers for money and labor?
My uncle Xia Youcai is a sly man, he might not even pay any attention to me! Then wouldn't this burden just fall on Xia Yougui?
Oh my, there is no need to wait for that day. Just thinking about it makes Sun feel that her heart is aching!
No, this matter cannot be delayed, we have to do it for her as soon as possible!
Sun thought about it over and over again for several days and became a little crazy. After thinking it over again and again, she was afraid that the longer she went, the more trouble she would have. So she immediately went back to her parents' home.
Sun left home after breakfast in the morning and didn't even have a sip of water along the way.
By the time she arrived at her parents' home, breathlessly, the sun was already high in the sky.
It just happened to be lunch time.
When Sun knocked on the door, she smelled a strong aroma of meat and fried peanuts. What day is it today? Did my sister-in-law make braised pork?
Sun thought about it for a moment and understood. Her eldest brother, second brother and nephews all liked to drink on weekdays, so her sister-in-law must have prepared some snacks for them.
Sun showed a confident smile on her face. She came from far away and prepared such a big gift for her nephew. Her sister-in-law must treat her well!
It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. This braised pork made by my sister-in-law is her favorite!
The fourth niece opened the door for her. When she saw that it was her who was knocking on the door, she shouted, "Mom, look, my third aunt is here!"
Sun entered the courtyard with a smile on her face. Her sister-in-law had already come out to greet her with her sleeves rolled up:
"Hey, Third Sister, what brings you here? Why didn't your brother-in-law come with you?"
The sister-in-law's eyes swept over Sun's face and hands, and then her expression turned cold: "What's the matter? Are you angry with your brother-in-law? Did you have a quarrel? Come on, come in, sister-in-law will make you something to eat!"
The sister-in-law led Sun into the house, but did not see her brothers and nephews.
The sister-in-law poured Sun a glass of water and asked her to sit down first. After a while, she set up a table for her and put food on it. Sun was hot and thirsty from the journey, and now she had gulped down a large bowl of water.
But when she looked at the table, she was dumbfounded:
What my sister-in-law served was a bowl of cornmeal porridge, a plate of black steamed bread made of mixed flour that was as hard as a rock, and a large bowl of mixed wild vegetables. The wild vegetables were mixed with some shredded ginger and vinegar, which made them quite tasty.
When Sun saw the dishes, she felt her blood boiling and then suddenly cooled down - what about the braised pork? What about the fried peanuts?
Even if my sister-in-law is a bit stingy and doesn't want to eat too much, she shouldn't be unwilling to serve even a small plate, right?
As if she had seen Sun's undisguised disappointment, the sister-in-law said bluntly while setting the table for Sun:
"Third sister, sister-in-law doesn't treat you as an outsider. If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't be offended.
If you're bored, why don't you do more work at home?
If there is nothing important, don't think about going back to your mother's house every day.
You come here again and again like this, your shoes and legs are worn out. Later, the Xia family will complain and say that our Sun family has no manners!"
Sun suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She also realized that her sister-in-law was probably disgusted with her for not bringing anything with her, so she came to the door with her empty paws, licking her face.
In the past, every time she went back to her parents' home, except when she had an argument with Xia Yougui, she would basically bring either copper coins, needles and thread, or food, and she would never return empty-handed.
I never expected that my sister-in-law would take my politeness and courtesy as her due!
Sun suddenly felt filled with grief and indignation, and wanted to just throw up her sleeves and leave!
But my nephew's business is an important matter. I can't let my nephew's big matter be delayed just because I have a disagreement with my sister-in-law and have a few words with her.
Sun held back her tears, suppressed her grievance, and said to her sister-in-law:
"Of course, how could I not understand this point? I came here in a hurry because of something important!"
Sun's sister-in-law secretly complained that Sun was thick-skinned. Even though she had made her words so clear, she was still reluctant to leave!
If we delay here any longer, all the braised pork will be eaten up by those heartless guys, leaving not a single bite for the girls!
My sister-in-law became more and more impatient: "What's the big deal?"
Sun asked directly, "Did Erhu marry again later?"
The sister-in-law was angry and said, "Come on, why are you still talking about something else? You came all the way here just to poke my nose in my throat? Don't you know the situation in our family? With your brother's character, where does he get the spare money to marry Erhu off?"
Xia Daohua is hiding in the Space Supermarket, secretly drinking sparkling wine... She said that without recommendation votes, she won't come out! Good night, sweet dreams, love you, (づ￣ 3￣)づ! See you tomorrow.
