Chapter 100 I'm working hard for you

Second sister Gu felt that her eldest sister was really idle and didn't care whether other people could cook or who would cook in the future.

Sister Gu said, "Yes, you two young couples must take care of it by yourselves. What I mean is that you must learn to cook if you are alone. Otherwise, if no one is at home in the future, you will be hungry, and your two children will be hungry too."

Su He shook his head, "No, it's human nature not to let yourself go hungry for too long when you have food to eat. Besides, many men can't cook, and I've never seen them go hungry."

"What are you competing with men?" Sister Gu was helpless.

Su He raised her eyes, "What's wrong, sister? Aren't men human beings? Why can't we compare if we are human beings?"

"Okay, okay, I can't say anything to you." Sister Gu smiled helplessly.

"Aunt, grandma is looking for you." Xue'er came out and called Su He.

There were three people in the kitchen. She was taking care of her eldest sister and second sister. Mother Gu was taking the children in the east room, so Su He went in.

After Su He left, the second sister Gu said to the eldest sister Gu, "Eldest sister, you are really something, why do you care about other people's business!"

Sister Gu, "I didn't care, I just reminded you kindly."

Gu Erjie, "Alright, alright, don't remind them anymore. Jianhua and Xiaohe should just cook for each other. Let's not preach to each other."

The couple are doing fine, but you insist on preaching to them, which might cause them to quarrel.

Besides, Xiaohe goes to work every day. She is so powerful that she can do anything for you.

Su He entered the east room. Mother Gu was coaxing the two children to sleep, but the two babies were not asleep. She said, "Xiao He's mother, please go out for a while. You can't hold it any longer."

Su He nodded, "Go ahead, Mom."

When Gu's mother came out, she happened to hear the elder and second sisters talking. She went over and asked, "What's the matter? What are you talking about? What happened to Jianhua and Xiaohe?"

Sister Gu waved her hand and said, "It's okay."

Sister Gu, "It's nothing. I just asked Xiao He if she wanted to learn how to cook. I said she would be hungry if she was the only one at home who couldn't cook."

He added, "The child is also hungry."

When Gu's mother heard this, she said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, they won't be hungry. When I'm gone, the children will grow up. Besides, your brother can cook. Why are you worried?"

Elder sister Gu went over and took Mother Gu's arm, "It's because you cook for me that I feel bad for you. I'm afraid you'll get tired. Let my younger siblings learn how to cook so you don't have to do it anymore. You've worked so hard for most of your life. It's time to take a rest."

Mother Gu said, "No, I don't feel tired. Everyone in this family has their own responsibilities. Your brothers and sisters are the main force that makes money in our family. Your father and I help take care of the children and cook."

"And eldest brother, your father and I have worked hard for the four of you all our lives, not because of Xiao He. Your father and I didn't give birth to her."

"Your brother didn't ask us to pay for his wife. He earned it as a soldier. But I have to worry a lot about you three."

"So don't let the girl cook so that I, who has worked hard for most of my life, can rest. That's not right. Xiao He works hard enough at work every day, and she still has to cook for the family. She's exhausted."

What Gu's mother hates most is people saying that it is not easy for your parents-in-law to raise you, your husband, and that you should respect your parents-in-law after you get married. She thinks that even if you are filial, the girl should respect her own parents first before respecting her parents-in-law.

After all, you didn't give birth to a daughter, so why do you make such demands?

Even if I ask for anything, I will ask it from my own son.

Thinking of this, she recalled that when she was young, her mother-in-law told her that it was not easy to take care of her father and asked her to be more filial.

Sister Gu said, "Mom, you...just don't feel tired as long as you are willing."

Her mother is really something. She was doing it for her own good, but she didn't appreciate it.

Besides, who asked her to cook while at work? She meant to cook while she was resting at home, such as during the winter and summer vacations, when she has nothing to do after all.

Her mother, on the other hand, is afraid that people will get tired from cooking.

"Yeah." Gu's mother hummed and went out.

After being scolded, Sister Gu looked very unhappy. She thought she would never care about her mother's family affairs again. She felt sorry for her mother, but her mother didn't understand her.

On the way back, Sister Gu told her husband about this, and her husband said, "Our sister-in-law can earn money, so we don't need her to cook."

Sister Gu: "I just feel sorry for mom."

Brother-in-law, "My mother is happy. She won't be willing if you don't let her cook."

"Don't say that anymore."

Sister Gu, "I won't say anymore."

Su He did not tell Gu Jianhua about this. She digested it herself. She still said the same thing: people grow up in different environments, so their thoughts will be more or less different.

What Sister Gu did today might be that she simply wanted to teach her how to cook. She felt that women must know how to cook. It is not good for a woman not to know how to cook. She felt that this is an essential skill for a woman.

This is similar to what most people in the village think. After all, everyone around them thinks this way, and thoughts cannot be changed overnight.

She was just a little annoyed in her heart. She hated being lectured the most, especially about things she didn't like, but Sister Gu kept talking about them endlessly.

She is a bit rebellious. The more you ask her to do something, the more she wants to do the opposite. Take cooking as an example. There is really no need for anyone to preach to her. Just like Second Sister Gu said, this is their business, so they can just discuss who will cook.

She is not very good at cooking, but she is not an idle person who just sits there and waits for food. Now Gu's parents have moved back to the front room, and she and Gu Jianhua live in the back room. Sometimes they eat alone. Gu Jianhua cooks and she cuts the vegetables and washes the dishes after dinner.

Sister Gu is very insistent that meals must be cooked by women, dishes must be cooked by women, or she thinks that housework must be done by women.

It is reasonable for women to do it, but it is unreasonable for men to do it.

When Gu Erjie went home and went to bed at night, she told her second brother-in-law about this matter, "Eldest sister is just idle. I can feel that Xiaohe is a little angry."

Second brother-in-law, "You didn't say anything, did you?"

Gu looked at her second sister, "No, I'm not stupid. Why do I say those things? It's annoying." What her eldest sister said was not pleasant to hear at all. Not to mention Xiao He, she didn't like to listen to it either.

The second brother-in-law hummed, "Eldest sister may think that now that she has married a daughter-in-law, things like cooking and cleaning the house should be handed over to her, and mother should rest."

Gu Erjie, "Since Jianhua got married, mother has not been working in the fields. This is not a rest!"

No matter how much housework there is, can it be as hard as working in the fields?

The most important thing is that my brother and sister-in-law give my mother money every month, ten yuan each, which is not a small amount. If someone asks her to take care of the children and cook for them, and gives her ten yuan every month, she will be very happy.
