Chapter 260 Don’t even think about taking you back if you don’t take a hundred dollars!
"Send, send, send. Give all the things in your house to your parents. From now on, this family will not be named Zhao. It will be named Chen, your Chen family."
"Let me ask you, have you ever spent 200 yuan since you were a child?"
"When you married me, you asked for a dowry of 150 yuan, but you didn't bring a penny back. You gave it all to your parents, who then gave the money to your brother and sister-in-law."
"You said you were filial to your parents, that's fine, but the key point is that your parents took the gifts you gave them and gave them to your brother and sister-in-law! Do they care about you?"
"During the Chinese New Year, we went to your house. Your parents only gave Fanfan five cents as a New Year's gift. Isn't that shabby? Only five cents. Do you know how much money my grandma and grandma gave me as a New Year's gift when I went to my grandma's house when I was a kid? Fifty cents!"
"You brought gifts and money, not to mention the money for the New Year, but your parents couldn't bear to kill a chicken or make dumplings when your daughter and son-in-law came home for the New Year!"
"Your family doesn't even treat you as a human being!"
It was only after Zhao Qinglin got married and became a son-in-law that he understood the meaning of the word "frustrated".
Others don’t know, but whenever his father went to his grandparents’ house, they would treat him with delicious food and drinks.
As for his uncle, needless to say, he worked in the county and went directly to his father-in-law's house for lunch. This had been going on for more than ten years, not just one day or one week.
If he did this, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would close the door and not let him in within two days.
He believes that all relationships must be two-way, whether it is family, love or friendship, they all require mutual efforts from both sides.
How could his father-in-law be so demanding and endless?
Zhao Qinglin's barrage of words directly broke Chen Juan's defense, because everything he said was true. Even if she had many excuses in her mind, what he said was true.
But it's the same for every family. If a son stays in the family to carry on the family line, the focus will naturally be on the son. Her parents have done a good job raising her and even sent her to school for a few years.
Most girls’ families don’t receive this kind of treatment!
She yelled, "What's wrong with me giving the betrothal money to my parents? Is it easy for them to raise me? I'm getting married and working in someone else's family, so what's wrong with me giving the betrothal money to my parents?"
"Why are you still thinking about the betrothal money? It's my parents' money, they can give it to whoever they want!"
"What's wrong with giving five cents as New Year's gift? Isn't Zhao Fan from your Zhao family? What does it have to do with our Chen family? He is not a child of the Chen family!"
"Yes, your grandmother's family is rich, your uncle, aunt, and two aunts are all very powerful. They are powerful, but they never helped you. They all moved to Beijing and settled down, but you are still living in this village."
"Do they care about you?"
Qinglin didn't buy her trick. "I know in my heart whether my uncle and aunt support me or not. Do you know in your heart how your mother's family treats you?"
"At least when I go to my grandmother's house, my uncle's house, or my aunt's house, they treat me with good food and wine. If I need money and ask them for a loan, they will lend it to me!"
"Is your mother's family okay?"
"Humph, your parents, brother and sister-in-law only know how to ask for money and are unwilling to give a penny!"
"If you quarrel with me now, you will stay at their house for three days at most, and then I will kick you out!"
Chen Juan's defense was completely broken. "Okay, okay, Zhao Qinglin, you married me just to be a bitch, right? You want to show off your superiority on me, right?"
"Just because of that little piece of seafood, you and I had such a quarrel that you even brought up all those old scores."
"Zhao Qinglin, I don't want to live with you anymore. I want to divorce you!" She turned around and went back to pack her luggage.
Chen Juan waited for him to call her and say a few nice words to coax her, but no, Zhao Qinglin simply ignored her.
"Divorce, divorce, divorce. You keep threatening me with divorce."
Zhao Qinglin simply ignored her and went out for a walk.
She was a girl raised by her parents. Even if she had no merit, she had worked hard. So when his wife married him and took all the gifts without any dowry, he didn't say anything.
Later, I frequently sent gifts to my parents' home and gave money to my parents during the New Year and other festivals, and he never said anything.
But this time he couldn't bear it anymore. Those seafood were sent by his aunt to his parents for them to eat. She asked them to be sent to his mother's house, and she picked the good ones. She didn't take the fish fillets, but took the expensive abalone and sea cucumber!
What's the intention? Her parents haven't eaten it, but his parents have? He has eaten it? Fanfan has eaten it?
They are like a geese plucking feathers from a passerby. They really move everything to her mother's house. It would be fine if her mother's house was worth moving to, but her family members don't value them as their daughter and son-in-law.
If you don't compare yourself with others, even if you compare yourself with his father, there is no comparison.
When his father goes to his grandparents' house, there is always fried rice yogurt on his grandparents' table. When he goes to his father-in-law's house, he is lucky to be able to have a sip of hot tea, but he still wants to eat fried rice yogurt. That's wishful thinking.
Zhao Qinglin went to his friend's house to complain.
His friend's attention was elsewhere, "Your uncle and aunt are doing well in Beijing!"
"Sending you such expensive things."
Zhao Qinglin said modestly, "My aunt is a teacher at Peking University, and my cousins are also from Peking University. My uncle opened a store and lives a decent life in Beijing."
Having a powerful relative is something worth bragging about. Moreover, his relative is not far away, that is, his uncle's family.
"Two hundred yuan a pound, sister-in-law, that's really too much. You can take some, but you can't take it all. Leave half for the family! Let's not talk about it for single people, give it to the children to try."
Zhao Qinglin, "That's right. I said the food is so expensive, I won't eat much, can't I just taste it? This guy gave all the food to her parents."
"They are all well fed."
Here, Chen Juan saw that Zhao Qinglin not only did not coax her but also went out. She was so angry that she packed her luggage and went straight back to her parents' home, just in time for lunch.
Her parents, brother and sister-in-law were eating the sea cucumber and abalone, and they didn't think that Chen Juan could kill them back.
"Juan, why are you back again?" asked Chen's mother.
Chen Juan didn't answer. She looked at the abalone and sea cucumber on the table and asked, "Didn't mom say we can eat them during the Chinese New Year?"
Her sister-in-law said, "Well, it's because your two nephews wanted to eat it, so I stewed it for them."
"Then did you soak it in water?"
Her sister-in-law, "I soaked and soaked all morning."
Chen Juan hadn't had lunch yet, so she picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the sea cucumber. It was dry and hard. She then took another bite of the abalone, and the same taste.
This must be fake, how can something that costs two hundred yuan per pound taste so bad?
"Ahhh, Mom, my aunt ate my sea cucumber!"
Chen Juan's nephew quit.
"Auntie, just eat one bite." Chen's daughter-in-law comforted her son.
Chen Juan, "Auntie won't eat it, so you can eat it all."
Mother Chen, "Why are you here with your luggage?"
I wondered if my daughter would quarrel with her in-laws.
The next second, Chen Juan said, "I had a fight with Zhao Qinglin."
"Why?"
Chen Juan told her parents what happened, and they were very angry.
"What does he mean by arguing with you just because of this? It's still 200 yuan per pound. I see no one wants it at 2 cents per pound, and it doesn't taste good." Father Chen picked up a sea cucumber and threw it back into the plate.
Chen Juan recalled, "His third aunt said that this thing needs to be soaked for three days before it can be eaten."
And they only soaked for half a day.
Chen's daughter-in-law said, "What? Sister-in-law, what needs to be soaked for three days? Mushrooms and black fungus are dry goods. They can be fried and eaten after soaking for ten minutes. But I soaked them for most of the day and changed the water several times."
Mother Chen said, "The Zhao family has gone too far this time. I'm telling you, if Zhao Qinglin doesn't bring a hundred yuan, don't go with him."
"Ah? Mom, this is not good, right?"
Chen Juan was puzzled. Why did she ask for money? They were just quarreling, and her husband came to admit his fault, and she followed him back. There was no need for him to ask for money.
