Now I realize it's very necessary.
Mrs. Gu couldn't laugh: "There's one more, I'll give it to your wife next time!"
"Thank you, Mom. Yunxi will be so happy to know. Mom, wait for us. We'll send you some seafood. We picked it ourselves at the beach; it's much better than anything else." Gu Weizhou knew how to handle his mother's feelings; he wasn't going to give it away for nothing.
They are filial children; they always think of their parents when they have something good.
After hanging up the phone, Gu's mother looked rather displeased.
Mr. Gu asked, "What did the fourth son say to you?"
"Your fourth son has become so demanding now that he's married. He wants this and that, and he's picky about everything. He wasn't like this before. He just knew he couldn't marry that Ruan Yunxi. He's corrupting my son. What does he take me for? What kind of mother-in-law makes shoes and knits sweaters for her daughter-in-law?"
Mr. Gu said expressionlessly, "You've made plenty for your eldest son's wife, so why can't you give it to her?"
Gu's mother: "......"
"Besides, didn't you like her a lot before? You almost wanted to treat her like your own daughter?" Gu's father knew that Gu's mother had objections to Ruan Yunxi's background. Before capitalists were criticized, she never seemed to have any dislike for her.
She even boasted about the nice things her mother sent from abroad in Shanghai.
Now that the Ruan family has fallen on hard times, they're no longer willing to fawn over them?
Mrs. Gu was heartbroken again: "..."
Mr. Gu seemed to remember something and reminded her, "You only associate with Le Yao's family, but be careful what you say. Your youngest son is married, so don't let people misunderstand. Once they get married in the military, it's very difficult for them to get a divorce."
Mr. Gu advised, "Your youngest son doesn't seem like the type to get a divorce. Don't cause them any trouble."
Feeling guilty, Gu's mother denied it: "How could I not know what's important? I just treat Le Yao as my daughter. If it weren't for that accident that year, our child would be about the same age as Le Yao."
Speaking of that child, Mr. Gu was silent for two seconds, feeling a little regretful. In the end, he only said, "It's good that you know your limits. Yunxi is a good child. Her parents are gone. Don't bully her just because she's an orphan."
"Be nice to her. Remember to give her the things Mom left for her when they go back to Beijing. Don't let your eldest daughter-in-law coax them away again."
"It's your freedom to give your own things to whomever you want, but you can't touch the portion that Mom gave to Yunxi."
Gu's mother: "......"
Who is the old man guarding against?
She was just keeping it safe; is she the kind of person who would embezzle it?
However, after Gu's father said that, even though Gu's mother was unhappy, she still grumbled and made shoes for Ruan Yunxi. The three pairs of shoes exhausted her fingers.
After making the shoes, she was also asked to knit a sweater. The other party had already given her the measurements, so it was obviously like forcing her to do something she wasn't ready for!
This young daughter-in-law is not someone to be trifled with!
All she did was say a few sarcastic things to her over the phone, and now her son is going after her.
Fortunately, they live far apart. If they lived together, she, an old woman, would be driven crazy.
In the family compound, the Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner, and there will be a festival performance.
The family compound has also prepared Dragon Boat Festival benefits. The canteen has made a lot of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and the aroma of cooking zongzi wafts far and wide.
Ruan Yunxi and Sister-in-law Sheng both receive benefits.
The women whose Dragon Boat Festival benefits were withheld by Political Commissar Li were extremely upset.
Especially when she saw that others had received six zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), six salted duck eggs, a holiday allowance of twenty yuan, and rice, flour, oil, and meat, Ruan Yunxi couldn't carry them all, so Political Commissar Li arranged for a junior soldier to deliver them to their home.
As a result, Sister-in-law Sheng also enjoyed the good fortune, and all the benefits for their family were delivered to their doorstep.
As Ruan Yunxi passed by those women, she asked knowingly, "Why are you all standing here? Are you going to collect your Dragon Boat Festival benefits from Political Commissar Li? There are so many people here, you might get picked over if you go too late!"
Little Cherry and Ruan Yunxi chimed in, "Auntie, you've forgotten, they did something wrong, so they don't get any benefits or money!"
The wives who had their Dragon Boat Festival benefits deducted: "......"
