Chapter 7 Teaching Daughter "Yingzi, you have found a handsome man!"...
Wang Hui didn't expect her father to say that. She felt aggrieved. She felt that her parents seemed to have changed and didn't love her as much as in her previous life.
Li Fengju glanced at Wang Hui and said, "Alright, go back now. What's the point of saying all this? If you really send the Du family back, you won't know how to cause trouble with us!"
"Mom!" Wang Hui was about to cry.
Li Fengju snorted, "Don't cry! It's too late to cry now. You chose the person yourself, just don't blame us in the future."
"Mom and Dad, why do you think so? Since you all think the Du family is not good, why do you still want to talk to my eldest sister?" Wang Hui originally wanted to admit her mistake, but she didn't expect her parents still refused to talk to her nicely, and she got angry again.
"What do you think?" Li Fengju said, "Look at yourself! Are you as capable as your elder sister?"
"Oh! You think that my eldest sister can live a good life by marrying Brother Jianguo, but I can't, right? Am I so useless?" Wang Hui yelled, and even Wang Ying on the other end heard it.
Wang Ying sneered in her heart. Wang Hui really had a bad memory. She only remembered the good days after she and Du Jianguo became rich, and forgot the hardships she had suffered in the Du family when she first got married.
It’s no wonder that people tend to only remember the suffering they have endured and only see the happiness enjoyed by others.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Wang Yongren said, "Fengju, don't blame her. It's useless. Just teach her a lesson."
Wang Hui took advantage of the situation and sat down on the bed next to Li Fengju: "Mom, I will be fine, believe me! I will definitely be no worse than my eldest sister. Look at me cooking, isn't it great? As long as I want to do it, I can do it well!"
Li Fengju thought about the two dishes Wang Hui cooked that night and softened her voice: "What do you think of Du Jianguo and his mother?"
"Everything is fine!" said Wang Hui.
In her previous life, when Wang Hui and Du Jianguo hooked up, Sun Qiaoling had already died. Wang Hui looked at Sun Qiaoling now and thought she was pretty good, and Du Jianguo was of course good too.
"Can't you see that Du Jianguo listens to his mother very much?" Li Fengju said.
Wang Hui really didn't notice, mainly because she was completely focused on Du Jianguo. But Wang Hui didn't think it was a big deal and said, "That doesn't matter. After we get married, I'll make him listen to me!"
"You wish!" Li Fengju rolled her eyes. "Du Jianguo has a grandmother, an older sister who stays at home, and a younger sister who's studying. Du Jianguo's father is away all year round, so the family is made up entirely of women! Three generations, old and young, with Du Jianguo caught in the middle. Don't you think about whether this is likely to cause conflicts?"
"Mom, then just tell me, why did you marry him to my eldest sister? Why did you marry him to her if he had so many shortcomings? After all, the Du family has its advantages!" Wang Hui said.
"The advantage is that the Du family only has one son. His father can make money outside, and Du Jianguo is also honest." Li Fengju said, "Besides, at this time, there are so many families in the city looking for marriage. No matter how good the conditions are, they won't look down on you sisters."
"Mom, I'll go there for the benefits. Don't worry. I usually act like a spoiled brat and be lazy only when I'm with you guys. I definitely won't do that when I go to my in-laws' house." Wang Hui said.
Li Fengju tapped Wang Hui's forehead with her finger: "You don't do it at home, but you're willing to do it for others! I really have a good daughter, silly girl!"
Wang Hui was also confused: "Mom, one moment you think I'm lazy, the next moment you say I'm stupid, so should I be diligent or not?"
"Do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do!" Li Fengju said, "We've coaxed Du Jianguo into submission. We can't expect him to just do whatever his mother says, but we can't openly oppose his mother either. People need to be more active and not just sit there silently. It's better to suffer an open loss than a hidden one..."
Li Fengju earnestly told Wang Hui about the things she should pay attention to after getting married. Wang Hui began to doze off while listening. Li Fengju saw Wang Hui nodding her head, sighed and said to Wang Yongren beside her: "Old Wang, why don't you really keep Huihui for another two years? I am worried about her marrying into the Du family like this."
Wang Hui had been dozing off, but when she heard her mother say that, she immediately opened her eyes: "Mom! What are you talking about! I'm going to marry Brother Jianguo!"
Li Fengju's breath was stuck in her throat and she finally yelled, "Go back to sleep!"
Wang Ying had fallen asleep and was woken up by her mother's yell.
Wang Hui returned to her room angrily. Wang Ying asked her, "What did you say to Mom? How did you make her angry?"
"How can you please mom? How can you be so capable? You are the most capable and everyone likes you!" Wang Hui got angry when she saw Wang Ying. Why did her mom think that her elder sister could live a good life but she couldn't?
Wang Yingcai didn't want to give in to Wang Hui and said to her, "Don't be so talkative. Everyone knows who my parents favor. I'm definitely more capable than you, but you forced me to be capable. It's you who doesn't do anything, and yet my parents still want me to give in to you!"
Wang Ying didn't lower her voice, but called out deliberately so that Wang Yongren and his wife in the other room could hear it.
Wang Yongren glared at Li Fengju: "You've spoiled me all this!"
Wang Hui was already in a bad mood, and after hearing what Wang Ying said, she became even more agitated: "Who are my parents favoring? The betrothal gifts and dowries for both families are the same, and they didn't give me an extra three or five hundred yuan as a deposit!"
Li Fengju was afraid that the sisters' noise would be heard by the neighbors at night, so she walked to the sisters' door and stood outside, saying, "If I hear one more word, you'll all be sent back to the countryside!"
The two sisters dared not say a word.
The next morning, Wang Hui got up without being called, and started cooking breakfast and sweeping the yard, as if to show Wang Yongren and his wife how hardworking she was and how she knew how to live.
Li Fengju barely slept the entire night before. Seeing Wang Hui like this this morning, she couldn't bring herself to blame him. Ultimately, she was being partial and afraid that Wang Hui would be wronged, but Wang Hui didn't understand her feelings at all.
Wang Ying slept until the whole family got up and breakfast was served on the table.
In the past, Wang Yongren and Li Fengqin would have definitely scolded her, but today they said nothing. They had all heard what Wang Hui said before she went to bed last night. The eldest daughter had always felt they were partial to her, but they hadn't taken it seriously. Now that she was about to leave, if they didn't win her over, it would be too late.
Li Fengju had a vague feeling that she would have to rely on her eldest daughter in the future.
Wang Ying ate breakfast silently without saying a word.
After breakfast, Wang Yongren and Li Fengqin went to work. Wang Hui took the initiative to wash the dishes, then the clothes. The two sisters were silent the whole time.
Around noon, Wang Ying's classmate and good friend Zhou Xiaoqin came to see her. Wang Hui greeted Zhou Xiaoqin, went to cook lunch, and gave the room to Wang Ying and Zhou Xiaoqin.
"Wang Hui has grown up! She even takes the initiative to cook. Does she know how to cook?" Zhou Xiaoqin said in a low voice.
"Of course I don't know. I'm going out soon, so I have to learn it even if I don't know." Wang Ying said.
Zhou Xiaoqin asked, "Did you all manage to negotiate successfully? You and that guy from the garment factory, what's his name, Du Jianguo?"
"No, my younger sister is talking to his family, and I am talking to Zhao Yunsheng from the cultural center." Wang Ying said.
"Zhao Yunsheng!" Zhou Xiaoqin's voice rose a little in surprise. "Is his father the director of the non-staple food factory?"
Wang Ying nodded: "Yes, it's his house."
"I've seen him. He's quite good-looking and has a nice voice. It seems like he writes and broadcasts a lot of the articles for the cultural station!" Zhou Xiaoqin said this with a little excitement. "He's not even married yet!" Zhou Xiaoqin winked and nudged Wang Ying with her arm: "Yingzi, you've found a handsome man!"
"What's there to earn? His family is well-off and he's not bad either. He hasn't married yet. I'm worried that there's something wrong with him!" said Wang Ying.
"Really..." Zhou Xiaoqin's expression turned serious. "Then who talked to you about it? Didn't you interview him?"
"He's my dad's colleague," Wang Ying said. "His dad is the director of a non-staple food factory. Who would want to offend him? What can we find out through the interview? Besides, it's too late. I'm afraid the list of people going to the countryside will be finalized after National Day."
"Don't think so badly of him. Maybe he is just waiting for you, the girl of destiny!" Zhou Xiaoqin said.
"Who knows! Anyway, we've already discussed it, let's get married first." Wang Ying said, looking at Zhou Xiaoqin, "You're the best choice. You're the only one in the family, and it won't be your turn to go to the countryside. There's no need to rush to get married. When the time comes, you can take over your mother's job and find a son-in-law."
"Hehe, your family actually only needs to marry one person, but I didn't expect your mother to marry you all off!" Zhou Xiaoqin said.
"Well, treat everyone equally!" Wang Ying said with a bit of self-mockery.
"However, your mother and the others are not partial this time?" Zhou Xiaoqin said in a low voice.
It was not a good thing that Wang Ying did not tell anyone about the marriage exchange. There was no need to make it known to everyone, even to good friends.
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to compensate me because he owed me for so many years," said Wang Ying.
"Then when you get married, if I want to make something to eat, I can just ask you for help!" Zhou Xiaoqin said.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "That's just one sentence."
In the next few days, Wang Yongren and Li Fengju would bring something home every day, and each item was double, exactly the same.
Wang Hui had been exceptionally well behaved these past few days, doing all the chores around the house and beyond. Li Fengju saw this and, while feeling her daughter had truly grown up, she also felt bad for her having to get married at such a young age. They could only blame it on the suddenness of the situation and their hasty decision-making...
Li Fengju also discovered that her eldest daughter Wang Ying seemed to be colder than before. She used to talk less, but now she talks more than she does now, and the way she looks at people is also different.
Li Fengju looked at her two daughters, and the more she thought about it, the more regret she felt. If she had decided from the beginning to only date Yingzi and leave Huihui at home, things wouldn't be like this now. Now, her youngest daughter obviously didn't marry well, but she was still happy all day long; and her eldest daughter married well, but she thought it was because her younger sister didn't want her, and she thought they were biased...
After a few days, Li Fengju lost a lot of weight.
Everyone else thought that Li Fengju was busy for her two daughters, but only she knew that she felt better when she was busy. The less busy she was, the more upset she felt.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September. The Wang family had prepared all the dowries and sent all the letters to the relatives, and were just waiting for the two daughters to go out during the National Day.
