"Mom, the clan elder told the village chief that they want to pool their money to buy water from Xishan Village next door, and they'll use their oxcart to haul it. Mom, what do you think? Should our family contribute? Or should I ride my balance bike and buy it myself?"
After dinner, the family stopped caring about the little girl wandering around the yard and sat down together to discuss things.
The wheat harvest is next month. The wheat is filling out this month, and if it isn't watered enough, the harvest will definitely be poor. Wheat isn't like sweet potatoes; you can't eat the branches and leaves. It would be a waste of effort.
“Let’s do both. Soon, you’ll tie two baskets to the back of the bike and make two lids for the water buckets out of wood. Then, when you’re carrying water, you won’t have to worry about spilling it. You three brothers can discuss it together. Who will ride the bike and who will go with the villagers will be fine. I’ll give the eldest brother’s wife a money box. From now on, if you need money, just ask her.”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yue Jiuyue directly handed over the management of the household.
"mother?"
The four of them exclaimed in surprise in unison.
How could this not surprise them? Their mother was only in her thirties and had only been a mother-in-law for a few years, yet she had already handed over the management of the household to her daughter-in-law.
You should know that the saying "a daughter-in-law endures ten years to become a mother-in-law" is not just a simple saying. Which mother-in-law doesn't hold the reins of power in the family until the moment she dies?
Although their mother had been in charge of the household for ten years, oh no, it's been eleven years now.
Is it really a good thing to just hand over the power of housekeeping to the daughter-in-law so easily?
They suddenly felt uneasy and scared.
Even the fourth son, Lin Chaobei, suddenly had a strange idea, wondering if their mother was going to remarry.
"Mother, I don't want the power to manage the household!"
Liu refused decisively.
Although she had been eyeing the housekeeper's power for four years.
But, just as she said, she has already reformed.
My mother-in-law is treating her very well now, and she's even going so far as to give her the reins of the household. Where can you find such a good mother-in-law?
She is already very content with her current life!
"Mom, you still need to be in charge of our family, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
The eldest brother, Lin Chaodong, glanced at Liu Shi and, seeing that she didn't seem unhappy, quickly said that what he said was the truth.
"Mom, I'm not sure either."
"Mom, I'm scared!"
Lin Chaobei, who used to be afraid, was just overthinking things.
"Stop! Listen to me."
Seeing her son, daughter-in-law, and eldest granddaughter all looking at her obediently, waiting for her to speak, Yue Jiuyue said:
"This family has grown from a thatched hut to six mud-brick houses. I've been in charge of the household for ten years. My eldest son has gotten married and had children. I was originally planning to hand over the management of the household after all four of you brothers got married."
My eldest son's wife has been doing a great job these past six months. I haven't had to worry about anything at home or outside. I think this kind of life is pretty good, so I thought I'd hand over the management of the household to her. From now on, she'll be in charge of everything at home, and I can just relax and enjoy my retirement.
Yue Jiuyue wanted to "enjoy a life of comfort," how could her daughter-in-law disagree?
"But, Mother, I can manage everything inside and outside the house. The power to manage the household must be in your hands so that I can manage this and that with peace of mind!"
Liu held Yue Jiuyue's hand and expressed her heartfelt feelings.
If we were to ask who among these four people was the most panicked upon hearing the news of the explosion, it would undoubtedly be Liu Shi.
