Chapter 12: Torturing the Daughter-in-law!
Su He could feel that Gu's mother liked her very much, and she could roughly guess the reason, but she would never guess that Gu's mother had such a blind liking for her.
To put it bluntly, even Su He's mother thinks his fart smells good.
In the last half month.
From the 1st to today, the 17th.
She reads eight hours a day and earns eight points every day.
I have earned more than 100 points.
If she works harder this month, she can earn 250 points.
Also, she has no pregnancy symptoms yet, she enjoys everything she eats and doesn't feel like vomiting. Su He hopes this condition can continue until she gives birth.
This Sunday.
Su He planned to take a nap and get up at eight o'clock, but at just six o'clock he was awakened by voices outside.
"His aunt, the third child is bringing his girlfriend back today, so we need you to cook. The food we cook is not as good as yours."
This is the voice of Gu Jianhua's second aunt Zhang Xiuying.
Yesterday, Gu's mother told her that Gu Jianhua's cousin Gu Jinzhu would bring his girlfriend back today, and then Aunt Gu asked Gu's mother to help cook.
Because her mother-in-law, Zhao Jinzhi's father, who was also Gu Jianhua's grandmother, used to be a chef in a restaurant. Naturally, the food this chef cooked was better than that of ordinary people, and her mother-in-law also learned some skills from her father.
It’s not much, but it tastes better than what most people make.
Su He quite enjoys eating dishes cooked by her mother-in-law.
However, Su He felt that Aunt Gu had other intentions. On the surface, she asked Mother Gu to help her cook, but secretly she was showing off to Mother Gu.
Her mother-in-law told her everything yesterday.
But I have to go.
But Aunt Gu came too early. It was only six o'clock. It was hard to say whether her daughter-in-law from the city had woken up by now.
Regarding this, Gu's mother was also speechless.
She sighed, "Keep your voice down, Xiaohe is still sleeping."
Zhang Xiuying curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Sister-in-law, you are too good to your daughter-in-law. You treat her like an ancestor? It's already dawn, the sun is shining on your buttocks, and your daughter-in-law still doesn't get up."
"Besides, you, as the mother-in-law, have already gotten up and she still can't get up. Are you going to rebel against the heavens?"
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, we marry a daughter-in-law to enjoy life. Logically, you two should take turns. She gets up early to cook, and you sleep."
"Look, your family is the other way around. How can the younger generation get up later than the older generation? No one in our family dares to do that!"
Mother Gu glanced at her and asked, "Are you finished?"
Zhang Xiuying nodded, and said to her mother, "You can leave now. I'll come over after breakfast."
"All right then!"
"Sister-in-law, please come over earlier!" After saying that, Zhang Xiuying turned around and left.
Mother Gu muttered, "What an annoying thing."
She thought she didn't know, what did she mean by saying those things?
Although this person is old, she is still as vicious as ever. Her mother-in-law didn't say anything, but she, as an aunt, blamed her daughter-in-law and even said bad things about Xiao He to her!
It's funny. She's not a fool. How could I not understand what she meant?
If you want her to quarrel with Xiaohe, dream on!
As for her daughter-in-law Su He, Gu's mother felt that maybe they were mother and son in their previous life. She really likes her daughter-in-law. Not to mention that she is pregnant now, even if she is not pregnant, she doesn't think it's a big deal if Su He doesn't cook or do any work.
Because her daughter-in-law is at work.
In a family, everyone has a job with a clear division of labor. In their family, the son and daughter-in-law are the main money-makers, and she and the old man assist them by cooking, taking care of the children, and cleaning the house.
Isn't that great?
Do you have to show off your mother-in-law's authority in front of your daughter-in-law and torture her?
Gu's mother didn't think so. She felt that she had suffered enough from her mother-in-law, and when it was her turn, she must be a kind and gentle mother-in-law who didn't cause any trouble.
Why should you torture your daughter-in-law if she hasn't done anything wrong? Even if she has done something wrong, the children don't understand. As an elder, can't you teach her more?
A harmonious family brings prosperity.
She would not want her daughter-in-law to go through the same suffering she had experienced as a daughter-in-law.
With this in mind, Mother Gu boiled the milk, added a little sugar to it, poured it into a bowl, and placed it on the steamer to keep it warm.
Xiao He usually gets up a little later on Sundays.
After Mother Gu and Father Gu had breakfast, Mother Gu tidied up the house and came to the second room.
Gu's father went to herd the cattle.
The day before yesterday a cow gave birth to a male calf.
There is not much work to be done in the fields at this time. The seeds have just been sown, and we have to wait for a while before the work in the fields can begin.
Su He told them that they didn't have to work in the fields, as her and Jianhua's combined monthly salary was over eighty.
It’s enough for their family to live on.
Father Gu was very happy to hear this. His daughter-in-law actually didn't mind that they were eating for free. If it was another daughter-in-law, the father-in-law would not work in the fields at the age of 54 and would scold her to death.
Some people in their brigade are still working in the fields at the age of 70!
He discussed it with his wife and decided, based on his physical condition, that if things went well, he would continue working until he was about 65 years old, and if things did not go well, he would quit earlier.
Home.
After being woken up, Su He fell asleep again and slept until nine o'clock.
She felt it was necessary to set an alarm even on Sunday.
The rice in the pot was still warm. Su He ate breakfast and went into the house to read for three hours.
It's twelve o'clock.
Feeling hungry again!
Su He found that her appetite had increased since she became pregnant. She felt hungry after a short while of eating. However, she was only less than two months pregnant!
Isn't it common for appetite to increase during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy?
But she was really hungry, and she remembered that there was some porridge and cakes left, so she planned to heat them up and eat them.
At this time, Gu's father came back with the cattle.
Su He went to see what was in his hand. "What is it, Dad?"
Father Gu said, "We got some fried rice and yogurt from the brigade. Your mother is not here, so we can have this for lunch."
Su He laughed, "Dad, this is so luxurious!"
Not to mention fried rice, yogurt is quite expensive, 0.20 yuan per pound, and the brigade has to sell it to the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Father Gu also laughed and said, "It's okay to indulge occasionally."
Su He gave him a thumbs up.
For lunch, the father and daughter had fried rice mixed with yogurt. Each of them ate a large bowl and of course left some for Gu's mother.
After dinner, Su He felt a little sleepy, but she was very curious. She wanted to see what the legendary heroine, the third aunt, looked like!
The book describes her as being 1.80 meters tall, weighing 200 kilograms, looking like a man, and being able to lift Gu Laosan with one hand.
Su He came to the old house of the Gu family. As luck would have it, as soon as she entered the gate, she saw a girl walking towards the gate with her arms swinging.
Gu Jinzhu hurriedly followed behind, shouting, "Beibei, Beibei, wait for me."
Su He met Bei Bei and she felt that the description in the book was a bit nonsense. The girl in front of her was 1.8 meters tall, but she didn't weigh 200 kilograms. She weighed at most 150 kilograms. And she was described as having facial features like a man. How could that be possible?
Round eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, a pretty girl!
