Chapter 366: Do one good deed a day

Seeing the old lady beating her chest and stamping her feet, Dai Qing found it inexplicably funny. The old lady simply felt that her son had suffered a loss and couldn't stand it, so she wanted to train her daughter-in-law and make her a good wife and mother.

But now is the time to emphasize gender equality, and the country is advocating that women can hold up half the sky.

Because of this, many new-generation women have emerged across the country. They have outstanding performance in various fields, becoming role models of the times and leaders in an industry.

"Mom, times are changing, and our thinking must also move forward. Now is different from the past, women can also become the backbone of the family. A family lives a good life, supporting each other, and showing their strengths. This is considered a skill."

"As long as your family is doing well, others can only envy you. No one cares who cooks and who washes the dishes in your home."

old lady:"……"

However, she just couldn't bear to see her son fetching water for his wife to wash her feet. As a mother, she couldn't bear to call her son, but he turned around and served tea and water, washed clothes and cooked for his wife. She was so angry when she saw it.

Dai Qing looked at her gloomy and uncertain expression, looking up at the sky in silence. Whenever a couple gets married and starts a family, the relationship between the couple is the closest. Even if parents are not satisfied with something, as long as the couple are willing, they should not interfere too much.

Unfortunately, the old lady was partial to her son and couldn't bear to see him work too hard, which led to constant conflicts between the couple, even to the point of physical violence. The root cause was that the mother-in-law had no sense of boundaries and was too controlling.

After listening to Dai Qing's advice, the old lady still felt uncomfortable.

"I still can't stand it. How can a grown man spend every day in the kitchen? I have trained him to go to school since he was a child, not for cooking."

"Auntie's thinking is a bit out of date. Nowadays, most families have only one child. You are the only son. Your daughter-in-law is the only daughter. Every child is a treasure in the palm of their parents' hands. Housework can be done by both of them together. It doesn't have to be done by the woman alone."

The mother was stunned. When her daughter-in-law got angry at home, she did say that her education level was the same as her son's and her job was more respectable than her son's. Why should she do the housework?

But the daughters-in-law of their neighbors are all good at housework. They serve their men comfortably every day, giving them hot meals after work and clean and neat clothes when they go out.

In their family, it is her son who does all these things.

"Alas, I am so miserable that I cannot enjoy the blessing of being a daughter-in-law. When I was a daughter-in-law, I got up before dawn to cook for the whole family, and then washed the clothes for the whole family. If I did not do well in any way, my mother-in-law would scold me. I dared not even fart."

"Now that I have finally become a mother-in-law, I am being controlled by my daughter-in-law. I still dare not fart. What kind of world is this?"

Seeing the old lady beating her chest and stamping her feet, Dai Qing almost couldn't help laughing. This old lady was trying to act like a big shot, but unfortunately times have changed.

He seemed to have heard someone say that parents always try their best to save their children from the hardships they have experienced, but mothers-in-law will always try their best to make their daughters-in-law experience the same hardships they have experienced.

The old lady sat on the mat in silence for a long time, then she took out a dollar from her pocket and put it in the box.

"Forget it. I feel much better after coming here to talk to you. As for how they live in the future, I don't care."

Having said that, he sighed deeply, stood up and left.

Looking at the old lady's unwilling back, Dai Qing turned to look at Jiang Li and spread her hands.

"Does this count as doing a good deed every day?"

“People with good hearts will accumulate good karma for themselves. Even if they are not rewarded in this life, they can still accumulate a good life for the next life.” Jiang Li stroked his beard and couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth. The posture of this girl counseling people really looked like that.

"I don't have any idea about my afterlife. As long as I can live this life smoothly, I will be satisfied."

If you haven't fully understood how to live your life in this life, don't force it in the next life.

Afterwards, another person came to consult about marriage. After Jiang Li personally read her fortune, he watched the person leave with great satisfaction. Then the two of them packed up their things, carried their small stools and went home leisurely.

As soon as I turned into the alley, I met Cai Kuan.

Looking at Cai Kuan, Dai Qing was stunned.

"You're out again."

"Don't you want to buy a house? Take advantage of your free time to meet with Xing Zhou and ask about the house."

Cai Kuan picked up his briefcase, moved closer to Dai Qing, and spoke in a low voice.

"I have taken out all my money. As long as there is a vacant house for sale, I can buy it anytime."

Dai Qing raised her eyebrows at his mysterious movements. She didn't expect him to act so quickly. But it didn't matter. At this time, the sooner you buy a house, the lower the price.

The three of them returned home together. Dai Qing washed her hands and started preparing lunch.

The simplest lunch is fried noodles with soybean paste. Hand-rolled noodles, fried sauce made with diced pork belly, and small dishes such as shredded radish, shredded green onion, and shredded cucumber are delicious.

Just one bowl per person and you're set.

When He Ning came in, he brought back a pair of blue and white porcelain pots, with a bunch of flowers tucked between his armpits.

"Sister Dai, when I was cleaning the house, I found a pair of bottles in the sundries room. They looked intact, so I brought them back for you to use as flower arrangements. I bought this bunch of daisies from the flower shop across the street. The clerk said that the flower buds can be plucked and used to make tea, but I don't know if that's true or not."

The blue and white porcelain vase has a big belly and a small mouth, which looks very round.

"Why don't you keep it? You can always use it after the house is renovated." This kind of vase looks good even if there are no flowers in it.

"I don't like this kind of bottles. I like glass ones. It's the same if I buy a few glass bottles to put flowers in."

This kind of bottle looks old-fashioned. It would look old-fashioned if placed in the house and it doesn't match his decoration style.

"Okay, wash your hands and eat first. Let's try the noodles I made today. Do you like it?"

"I like everything Sister Dai cooks. I never doubt your cooking skills." He Ning said, went straight to the bathroom, and then ate a bowl of noodles in a large bowl.

After dinner, Cai Kuan poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for everyone and spoke softly,

"I have already told Xingzhou about buying a house, and he has asked Mao Jian to help me keep an eye out for houses. It won't be long before we become neighbors."

"That's great. It will be much more convenient for us to have gatherings in the future."

When He Ning heard this, he was immediately delighted and patted his chest.

"If you don't have time to renovate the house, just tell me. After all, I have experience in renovating two houses."

"Thank you in advance. I'll have to ask you to help me with the planning when the time comes."

Cai Kuan didn't hold back when it came to decorating the house. After spending a few days together, he had a better understanding of He Ning's temper.
