Chapter 22: Quite the opposite



Fang Zhiyi nodded, and then several people left together.

Fang Zhiyi and the others waited at the door for a while before they saw a clean-washed child running out with a large bowl in his hand.

When Fang Zhiyi got closer, he realized that it was a bowl of pickles made with cucumbers and peppers. It smelled delicious.

Fang Zhiyi knew that the Niu family felt that their son could not eat and drink for free, so they brought her these pickles.

It just so happened that she was worried about having no pickles at home these days, and someone brought them to her. The pickles were perfect to eat with porridge in the morning.

He took the bowl from her hand, and the three of them walked towards Fang's house together. The two younger ones huddled together and chattered all the way as if they had endless things to say.

When she got home, she put the pickles down first, then found a new set of clothes for Fang Zhilin to change into. Fortunately, there was no dirt on the clothes, otherwise she would have to boil water for him to take a bath.

Children's hair is short and it's so hot in summer, so it dries quickly after washing. After washing, they go to eat.

The two children hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time, so they were very happy eating them. Maybe because their friends were around today, Fang Zhilin was very lively.

The two of them were chattering very lively. Niu Xiaoshan was a very funny kid, very clever and often said some shocking things.

"Sister, what you cook is really delicious, much better than what my mom cooks. Can you teach my mom later? I also want to eat such delicious dumplings in the future."

After eating, Niu Xiaoshan sat on the bench and spoke seriously.

Fang Zhiyi laughed when he heard what he said. If Aunt Niu heard this, she would definitely scold him, as Aunt Niu had a very bad temper.

If I worked hard to prepare a meal and my son said it was not tasty, I would definitely be angry.

"Don't tell your mom about this, or she'll be sad, okay? If you want to eat it later, I'll call you over when I'm cooking."

The taste of the food I make myself is probably not as good as what Aunt Fang makes. She thinks it tastes good mainly because hers has more oil and meat.

Aunt Fang has been cooking for so many years, how could she not be as good as me? So I'd better forget about teaching her and not show off my skills.

"No, my mom said I can't always go to other people's houses for dinner. They'll talk about me. I don't want to be that kind of kid."

Fang Zhiyi said while eating with a smile:

"Is my sister's house someone else's? Are you good friends with our Linlin? If so, then there's nothing wrong with having dinner at a friend's house. Do your brother and father always eat with friends?"

Niu Xiaoshan nodded when he heard her say this. His brother sometimes went out to eat with friends but never took him with him. He also wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant when they went.

"That's right. When I make dumplings in the future, you're welcome to come and eat them. But don't tell your mother first, okay?"

The atmosphere on their side was very harmonious and happy, but the situation on the Sun family's side was not so good.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family returned home in a rage and saw her sister-in-law lying on the sofa. She was about to say something, but then she thought that there were only a few of them around and she couldn't be the one to say it.

If she quarreled with him, her reputation would be even worse. She was not stupid, so she decided to wait until her mother-in-law came back and then she could just watch the show from the side.

Anyway, no matter what, his mother-in-law would definitely not give him money to buy a job. If she really did that, they would separate.

Before, they had to pay back the money they borrowed for her husband's job. If they bought her a job, they would also have to owe money.

What if their family gets dragged into trouble? They still have a son to support. So if they really borrow money to buy a job and their family splits up, they can just go on their own.

But I still have a younger brother-in-law. How could my mother-in-law use money to buy a job for my daughter? If there is any preference for boys over girls, it is my mother-in-law.

I have been married for so many years, and she only treated me well after I gave birth to my son. If I ask her to spend money to buy a job, she is really dreaming.

So I can't step in. I have to wait until my mother-in-law comes back and tell her the news. Then they can quarrel as much as they want.

So when he saw his sister-in-law rolling her eyes at him, he didn't care. After all, she had been like this for a few days.

She was fine before, but she changed after I became pregnant. Although she pretended to be nice in front of outsiders, I knew what kind of person she was.

My reputation has become like this because of her, but no one believes me when I explain it to them. After all, my sister-in-law looks so confusing.

She looked so pitiful, as if someone had bullied her and she was used to pretending.

After Sun's eldest sister-in-law made a plan, she put her son in her brother-in-law's room and let the two of them play together while she went to cook.

Everyone in the family has to come back for lunch at noon. If the meal is not ready when they come back, they will be scolded.

They eat simply at home. My mother-in-law is a very frugal person. Every time she cooks, she doesn't use too much oil. Just a little bit with chopsticks is enough.

Only her youngest son or her own son could eat stewed eggs every now and then, while other people had stir-fried vegetables most of the time.

When I first came here, I couldn't control the amount I used and was always scolded. Now I've been trained to do it, and I know how much to add.

She started cooking skillfully. Sun Jingjing just sat on the sofa, not even offering to help her, but just watching.

Not long after she finished cooking, the family members came back one after another, and they washed their hands and ate.

After just a few bites, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family thought of the words and started talking:

"Mom, I heard you're going to buy a job for your sister. I don't know where the money is coming from. Youquan and I have a child now, and we don't have much money at home. We can't help you."

"We can only give you five dollars a month, nothing else. We also have to consider our children."

After hearing this, Sun's mother put down her chopsticks and said in surprise:

"Who told you that? I don't have the money to buy a job for your sister. The money in the family needs to be saved for Yousheng to marry a wife. I can only use the money to buy her a job."

"Whoever said that in front of you, you definitely can't believe it."

The eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family pretended to be puzzled and said:

"Isn't it you? But he came to the door today and said that his sister wanted to buy a job from him."
