"Don't you understand what I'm saying or what? My mom said it was Jingchuan's own money, but you insist on saying it was given by his family? I finally managed to return to the city, and as soon as I got back, you made such a scene. What do you want?"
Wang Chaolu's words made Zhou Jingxing extremely annoyed, because when they came back, his mother personally prepared a table of dishes, and as soon as she got home, she gave her daughter a red envelope.
What else do you want your family to do?
Hearing Zhou Jingxing defending his brother like this, Wang Chaolu's eyes turned red and he felt even more aggrieved.
"I really don't know what you're thinking. We're husband and wife. No matter what I say, you should side with me. Who am I saying this for? Aren't I just worried you'll get hurt? When I was pregnant, I followed you in the countryside. How much did I suffer? Your mother didn't even say she would take care of me during the confinement period. Now that Zheng Wangshu is pregnant, your parents personally brought her home to live with them and even take care of her during the confinement period. Why? We're both daughters-in-law of the Zhou family. You can't be so partial to us!"
Wang Chaolu became more and more sad as she spoke, and tears began to flow.
Zhou Jingxing was anxious, afraid that Li Ruhui and the others would hear it.
On the first day after returning, Wang Chaolu cried in the room. What would others think if they heard it?
"Alright, stop being unreasonable. You have to act with conscience. I admit that marrying me was unfair to you, but what does this have to do with my parents? When you got pregnant, they had no choice because of work. They couldn't just quit their jobs and give up their jobs just because you were pregnant. Besides, didn't your family give us some money when they found out you were pregnant? I remember it was a thousand yuan. Although my family is well-off, it wasn't easy for my parents to make money. How long did it take them to save a thousand yuan back then?"
It’s not that Li Ruhui and the others didn’t feel sorry for Wang Chaolu at the beginning, but because they were in different places, there was really nothing they could do. After all, everyone has their own things to do.
One thousand yuan a few years ago was really a lot of money. Li Ruhui is a decent person.
Wang Chaolu felt a little embarrassed when she heard Zhou Jingxing say this.
"Who cares about that thousand yuan? You know how tired I am when I take care of the children."
Zhou Jingxing knew that his wife was a little petty, but after being married for so many years, he had long been accustomed to it. As long as it was not a big problem, he would just turn a blind eye and let it go.
Because they had always lived in the township, there had never been any conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Li Ruhui would send them some things from time to time, and would also send them some money regularly.
Zhou Jingxing was already feeling embarrassed. His parents were not young anymore, and as a child he should be filial to them. However, not only did he not show filial piety to them, but he also had to spend his parents' money at such an old age.
As a result, it became nothing new when Wang Chaolu said it.
"You don't want it? If you don't want it, why don't you return the money? Don't you know how much you can buy with a thousand yuan back then? Chaolu, you can't be a heartless person. You're a grown-up, you should think before you speak."
Zhou Jingxing was really angry. Everyone was having a good time, but this had to happen.
It's a good thing that Zhou Jingchuan can buy a car with his own ability. They are a family and have blood ties. Does he really want his younger brother to be unlucky?
Wang Chaolu was suddenly speechless, but she was unwilling to just keep silent.
"Why should I give it back? They should have given the money. What parents-in-law don't help take care of their grandchildren? They didn't help at all, so how can I not pay them?"
Zhou Jingxing was originally planning to shut up and go to sleep, but after hearing this, he became even more furious.
"Who told you it's your parents-in-law's responsibility to help raise your grandchildren? My parents gave birth to me and raised me, they've done a great job. Getting married and having children is my own business. What does it have to do with my parents-in-law? If they're willing to help, it's a favor. If they're not willing to help, it's their duty. No one can say anything about it."
Wang Zhaolu was also angry. She felt that her husband was against her.
"Then don't they need us to take care of them when they're old? Since they need us to take care of them when they're old, isn't it reasonable for us to help take care of their granddaughter?"
Zhou Jingxing felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and suddenly didn't want to say a word.
"Don't worry, my parents are old and don't need you to take care of them. They have two sons, so they won't be miserable in their old age. If you think the money my family gives you is useless and my parents don't contribute to our family, you don't have to do anything. No one will force you."
After Zhou Jingxing finished speaking, he lay down beside him, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Wang Zhaolu felt somewhat guilty when she saw her husband like this. She also knew that what she had just said was wrong. After all, one thousand yuan was not a small amount of money at that time.
But she just felt unbalanced, thinking that Zheng Wangshu was living too carefree a life while she had suffered so much before.
They are all daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, so Li Ruhui and others don’t treat them equally.
However, seeing that Zhou Jingxing was already angry, she did not continue the topic. After all, she did not want to make things too ugly, and it would be troublesome if it caused a quarrel between her parents-in-law.
Zheng Wangshu and Zhou Jingchuan also lay down at this time. The room they slept in was close to Zhou Jingxing and the others. Zheng Wangshu had good hearing and vaguely heard some noises.
"Did your brother and your sister-in-law have a quarrel? Did you hear it?"
Zhou Jingchuan naturally heard it too. His hearing was even better than Zheng Wangshu's.
"They must have been arguing. It's okay. Husbands and wives always have arguments. It will be over in a while."
Zheng Wangshu frowned slightly, adjusted his sleeping position, settled his stomach, and then spoke again.
"What's your sister-in-law like? Is she easy to get along with? I've never met her before. Tell me a little bit about her."
Zhou Jingchuan lay down next to Zheng Wangshu, facing her.
"To be honest, I don't really understand. After all, my brother and his friends don't come back often, so generally speaking, they're okay. Maybe they have some of the common problems of lesbians, which is that they're a little petty."
Zhou Jingchuan didn't like to talk about others behind their backs, but Zheng Wangshu was not an outsider, so he told the truth.
Anyway, Wang Chaolu is a bad person, but she is not. She has some minor flaws, but they are all acceptable in terms of face.
When Zheng Wangshu heard this, he immediately understood.
"Then I guess she's not particularly difficult to get along with. Let's take it slow. But I noticed she was unhappy today, and I wanted to get closer to her."
Hearing Zheng Wangshu say this, Zhou Jingchuan couldn't help laughing and stretched out his arms to hug him.
"Whether it's friends or relatives, just let things flow. If you can get along, then hang out. If you're not on the same page, then stay away. You don't have to try too hard to please anyone, and you don't have to think too much about me. Do you understand?"
Zhou Jingchuan didn't care whether they were relatives or not. As long as the other party did something wrong, even his parents would not tolerate it, let alone his sister-in-law.
Hearing his man say this, Zheng Wangshu was also impressed.
"You have such a big heart. I wish I could be as carefree as you."
