"I bought it and gave it to you as a gift. Any problem?"
Ye Qing was not afraid of her asking. Instead, he felt happier when he saw her angry.
"Have you forgotten your last name?"
Zhou Shuimei looked sullen and was very dissatisfied with her attitude.
Ye Qing sneered, "Anyway, his last name isn't Zhou."
"You are so capable that you don't even take me seriously! Second brother, this is the good daughter you gave birth to!"
People always like to pick on the weak, and Ye Qing is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, so she can only vent her anger on her son Ye Erzhu.
Zhou Shuimei has been the head of the family for nearly ten years since she outlasted her mother-in-law. She has become accustomed to treating everyone in the family as her own property. Everyone and everything must obey her arrangements. It's like she has a rope in her hand, tying everyone in the family, and she has the final say on how tight or loose it is.
Even though the family has been separated, as long as she is still alive, no one in the family can cross her. Now Ye Qing is like an accident in her peaceful life. She unexpectedly got a good job, unexpectedly married a man who eats rations, and unexpectedly became disobedient. It feels like she is about to get out of her control. This also made her realize that if she can't control this granddaughter who is about to fly high, then she will lose a lot of benefits. Based on Ye Qing's attitude towards her during this period, she can only test Ye Qing's bottom line first, but Ye Qing doesn't accept it and is not afraid of her at all. Then she can only start with her son and attack from the side. Her son always dares not disobey his mother.
"Qingqing, how are you talking to your grandma?"
Ye Erzhu spoke in a stern voice and winked at Ye Qing behind Zhou Shuimei's back, telling her to be less aggressive.
Ye Qing just rolled his eyes silently, pretending not to see it, turned around and walked out.
Ye Erzhu felt helpless. His mother wanted to be filial and he couldn't say harsh words to her, but his daughter had her own ideas and he couldn't control them. He felt really uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
Seeing Ye Qing being so presumptuous, Zhou Shuimei was so angry that she slapped Ye Erzhu. Ye Erzhu said he felt wronged, "Mom, why did you hit me?"
"I'm going to hit you! Look at you as a father, you can't even take care of your own children, what else can you do! I'm her biological grandmother, but she doesn't respect me, and all the good things are going to outsiders, and you don't stop her!"
Zhou Shuimei became angrier and angrier as she spoke, her eyes spitting fire.
"Mom, Qingqing is grown up now, she has her own abilities, and now she is married and has become someone else's wife. Can I still control her spending?"
"You are his father, why can't you control him? Why don't you take after me? Why do you have such a pig brain? What's wrong with getting married? She is not your daughter after marriage. Jianjun is still young. If these girls don't have their hearts on us, then all the money they earn in the future will be spent on outsiders! We have raised them for so many years, they should be filial to us! In the end, daughters are money-losing goods. When they grow up and become independent, they start to make money for other families. Tell me, what do you want? You will lose everything!"
Ye Erzhu disagreed, "Mom, you think too much. Qingqing and her sisters are all good and filial children. You can't just ignore me, her mother, and Jianjun."
"Bah! Look at her ungrateful face! Let me ask you, she has been working for more than a month, has she ever paid you?"
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Five dollars."
"Five dollars? I earn over ten bucks a month, and I only give you five dollars? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Zhou Shuimei was about to hit someone again, and Ye Erzhu quickly dodged. Although she was old, her hands were very strong, and it took a long time for her to recover after one hit.
"Mom, five dollars is not a small amount. They still have to make a living. I can't take all of it. Isn't this harming my own daughter?"
"Waste! Why did I give birth to such a lousy thing like you? I'm so mad at you! Ouch~ I'm so mad~ I'm so mad~"
As Zhou Shuimei spoke, she patted her chest to calm herself down and leaned back on the kang.
"Mom, don't worry about these things. I'm an old man and I'm not unable to work. I don't need Qingqing to take care of me. When I get old, she won't ignore me."
After such a long time of separation, Ye Erzhu has changed a little. Once he has tasted the taste of being the master of the family, no one wants to be controlled, even if that person is his own mother. So he is still a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shuimei's current operation. You are so old, why don't you enjoy your old age? You have enough food and drink. Why do you worry so much and get so angry for nothing? I really don't understand.
"Who am I doing this for? You're such a heartless bastard! You won't feel at ease until I'm pissed off to death and go find your dad, right?"
Zhou Shuimei's hands were shaking, and she pointed at Ye Erzhu's nose and cursed angrily.
"Mom, what are you talking about? We don't have much firewood at home. I'll go chop some firewood. You can look after Jianjun. We have some bacon at home. I'll fry it for you tonight."
Zhou Shuimei was so angry that she wanted to leave, but when she heard there was meat to eat, she sat back down.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding day for Ye Qing and Xiang Changlin, and her family will also host a banquet the day before the wedding. As long as they invite eight people to the table, they can only have more dishes, not less. Fortunately, it is the season when fruits and vegetables are ripe, so the dishes are easy to make. As for meat, they plan to make two dishes, but it is not easy to buy. Ye Qing said that he has a way to buy it, but in fact, he took it out of the refrigerator in the space. Not many people are invited, except for the Wang family and the Qi family, and the villagers who have a good relationship with Shi Chunmiao's family. In addition, the new in-laws of the Qi family must also be invited.
The banquet was prepared by themselves, so they were definitely too busy to handle it. Early the next morning, Li Baohua and his wife brought their whole family to help. Wang Fen also came early with her husband and two children.
Everyone looked at the nearly six pounds of pork belly hanging in the kitchen and praised Ye Qing for his skills.
Ye Qing just smiled and didn't say anything more. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Although they are said to be two meat dishes, they are not pure meat. They just have some meat slices in the dishes to make them look that way. Otherwise, for six tables of dishes, there would need to be twelve meat dishes. No one can afford pure meat. This feast of theirs is already very good in the brigade, and no one can find fault with it.
"I can smell it from far away. What is it? It smells so good!"
Zhou Shuimei and the eldest wife's family arrived when the banquet was almost about to start. As soon as Sun Erni entered the door, she smiled and went into the kitchen.
When I saw the meat dishes on the table, I was so greedy that I could only swallow my saliva.
"Hey~ my sister-in-law is here, you really know how to hurry."
When Jiang Dafeng was young, she couldn't stand her sister-in-law. When her niece got married, her family didn't come early to help, and they just waited for mealtime to eat the ready-made food, which made people very angry.
