Qiao Xifeng finally lived the good life she had before she got married in her parents' home, with everything provided for her.
She didn't have to get up early in the morning to heat the kang, remove the ashes, wash clothes, or worry about food. After staying at her mother's house for two days, Qiao Xifeng's tired and weak body recovered quickly.
She calculated the days, thinking that Xie Huihua should reveal the news to Bai Hongmei. She quietly asked her mother Ge Liuping for five yuan and went out on the pretext of going to the New Hope Mutual Aid Society to get a cardboard box.
"Master, go out and see if Xifeng has gone home or is visiting friends."
Chen Xiaozhen stood under the window, rubbing her son's diaper in the dim sunlight.
Most homes in Beidahuang have double-layered glass windows, and a layer of plastic sheeting is nailed on the outside in winter.
The plastic sheet was not very transparent, and with the moisture on the glass, the visibility inside the house was not good. Through the moisture, Chen Xiaozhen could only see a figure leaving the yard.
There were only a few people in the house, and judging from her stature, she could guess that it was Qiao Xifeng who went out. But Chen Xiaozhen couldn't see clearly whether she was holding anything.
It would be great if Qiao Xifeng could return to her own home.
Chen Xiaozhen wished that this annoying sister-in-law would get out of here as soon as possible. She had to take care of the children and cook at her husband's house, so she would take advantage of every opportunity to paste paper boxes in her own room.
She was so busy every day that her feet were hitting her head, but her mother-in-law still scolded her for being lazy and forced her to sew a few pairs of soles in exchange for money.
She even used her eldest wife's sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoxia to pressure her, scolding her for not learning from Zhang Xiaoxia and helping her younger sister-in-law Qiao Baozhu collect shoe soles, but just earning money for the family honestly.
Chen Xiaozhen didn't think anything was wrong at first, thinking that this was the family tradition of the Qiao family. Both the daughter and the daughter-in-law were women who could hold up half the sky in the new era.
As the eldest daughter-in-law of the second branch of the Qiao family, she always felt inferior because she was not as good as Zhang Xiaoxia and Qiao Baozhu.
Who would have thought that my mother-in-law is a person who says one thing and does another.
She was taught verbally that to be an independent woman in the new era, she should learn more, think more, and make progress more, and should dare to be the first and have the courage to fight.
But what about her own daughter?
Qiao Xifeng is already married, but she has the nerve to hide in her parents' house and eat and drink without doing any work.
She didn't do any housework or money-making work. Her father-in-law couldn't stand it and scolded her sister-in-law for being lazy and unmotivated, but her mother-in-law was still not happy.
What's the point of marrying a man if you want to have clothes and food? If a woman can make money, then why get married?
Only then did Chen Xiaozhen understand.
The words my mother-in-law said were lies to me.
"Master, go check it out. I'd be so happy if your sister came home. When she comes back these days, I not only have to wash clothes for you two, but I also have to throw her clothes to me."
"Your mom and dad acted like they didn't see anything! It would be great if they left."
Chen Xiaozhen only dared to complain to her husband. Once she left the room, she didn't dare let her mother-in-law find out that she was unhappy in the slightest.
Qiao Guangming was immersed in the plot of the comic book. When he heard his wife complaining again, he tickled his ears with an impatient look on his face.
"She only has a few pieces of clothes. You are the eldest sister-in-law, so just wash them."
"It's impossible for her to go home unless Zhao Haiyang comes back. Don't even think about it."
Chen Xiaozhen knew the situation clearly, but she still felt uncomfortable when she heard her husband's answer.
"She is so lucky. She can still be supported by her parents after getting married."
Qiao Guangming didn't hear the hidden meaning in his wife's words. He sneered and continued to argue as usual.
"She is also lucky? The one with the best life is San Ya. She lives a life of luxury."
"Hey, guess what I saw this morning?"
"She went into town with a sack of shoe soles. A sack, how much would that cost?"
