Chapter 39 Returning to My Mother's Home 2
Jiang Xinlan pursed her lips and spoke first: "Sister-in-law, I really don't have any cloth coupons, but I still have a piece of pink cloth, which is just enough for Hongyan to make a top."
Wu Hehua was delighted. "That's great. I'll thank her second aunt on behalf of Hongyan first." Then she turned to look at Jiang Xinbai, "Her youngest aunt, you see..."
"I have a piece of black cloth, so I'll make a pair of pants for Hongyan! But where is my second sister-in-law? Why can't I see her?" Jiang Xinbai turned his head and looked around, but he didn't see his second sister-in-law.
"Your second sister-in-law has taken her two children back to her parents' home and will be back in a few days." Sun Ju's parents' home is in a village in the next county. It takes about three hours by car. It is not easy to go there, so people usually stay a few more days.
"Oh, I see." Jiang Xinbai nodded, "Then I'll save some money and make a piece of clothing for Zhengdong when I find something suitable."
It can't be that Hongyan from the eldest sister-in-law's family has it, but Hongyan from the second sister-in-law's family doesn't. She can't do such a hateful thing.
"Mom, me too. I'll save some money later too." Jiang Xinlan also said.
Wu Hehua, who was feeling happy over there, drooped her lips and thought to herself, Sun Ju is really lucky. She was the one who flattered the two nuns and asked for it, and she could get the benefits even when she was not at home. This made her feel even worse.
It is true that only what you have is the most fragrant.
Chen Cui'e smiled and nodded, "I'll tell your second sister-in-law when she comes back. Hey, now that you're all married, I feel at ease. But your third brother, hey, I don't know what he's thinking. He's already 21 and hasn't found a partner yet. He's running around everywhere."
Jiang Baocheng, the fourth son of the Jiang family, has a rare high education and has attended high school. He is also a strange figure in Dayang Village. You will never see him at work, and he is always looking for work for others everywhere.
But such a man managed to find himself a beautiful, rich and wealthy wife and created a bright future for himself.
"That's right, Mom. I have to say a few words to my third brother this time. He didn't even come back for such a big event as Xiaobai and I's wedding. I haven't seen him for half a year. He's too much." Jiang Xinlan complained to her mother dissatisfiedly. Fortunately, she had many brothers, otherwise she wouldn't even have someone to support her. It would be so embarrassing.
Seeing her second daughter complain, Chen Cui'e quickly tried to help her third son, saying, "Hey, your third brother is on a train to the border. He has been to so many places and he has been on the train again before he even had a rest. He does this for a living. You can't blame him. Don't worry, when he comes back, he will definitely get your gift money."
"Mom, I'm not thinking about money, you really are." Jiang Xinlan was a little dissatisfied.
Jiang Xinbai knew that his third brother was now a temporary worker. While others only did one thing, he looked for work everywhere. Not to mention a month's work, he would even do work for half a month, and he only wanted two-thirds of the salary, so many people were willing to hire him, which also gave him a lot of work experience.
But her dream didn't tell her who her future third sister-in-law would be. Why not dream about it again at night? Who knows, she might even know who her future third sister-in-law would be in advance.
However, in the dream, the third brother found himself a job and bought a house in the city. She thought it might be related to the third sister-in-law. Thinking of her third brother's personality, she wondered if he would marry into the woman's family?
Thinking of this, she looked at her mother again. Well, since the Jiang family has three sons, it’s not a big deal for the third brother to marry into the family. The real thing is to get actual benefits.
"Xiaobai, what are you thinking about? I called you several times but you didn't respond." Jiang Xinlan patted her sister's face and thought to herself, people say that pregnancy will make women stupid for three years, is it true?
"Ah, call me." Jiang Xinbai came back to her senses and saw her second sister looking straight at her. She shook her head and explained, "I was thinking about my third brother. Mom, second sister, eldest sister-in-law, you said that my third brother has been on the train for most of the past six months. Can you bring your third sister-in-law back this time? Who knows, she might give you a surprise when she comes back."
When Wu Hehua heard her sister-in-law say this, she quickly waved her hands, "Stop it, little sister. Your idea is not right. Think about it, if your third brother brings you a third sister-in-law from the train, she must be a refugee who couldn't stay in her hometown and married far away. Do you think you can keep such a woman?"
"Fleeing from famine? Sister-in-law, you are exaggerating." Although life is hard now, it is not necessary to flee from famine. Besides, those who can afford to take the train will not flee from famine.
Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't believe her, Wu Hehua quickly told them what she had heard from her mother's family. "Mom, second sister, little sister, don't think I'm exaggerating. There was a man in my mother's village who married a woman from another place. He said that his family was poor and couldn't make a living, so he didn't want any dowry, just a place to stay. The man was so happy that he got the marriage certificate and got married as if it was pie in the sky. Guess what happened the year after next?"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xinbai asked.
Wu Hehua glanced at them and said, "The young wife is very cunning. She was very obedient when she first got married, but once she had a son and was able to gain a foothold, her true nature immediately showed up. She brought her parents, brothers and sisters over and is now supporting her entire family. The man must be very regretful."
"Sister-in-law, you made it up, right? You need a letter of introduction to go anywhere nowadays. How could her family live here so easily?" Jiang Xinlan expressed her doubt.
Wu Hehua waved her hands and said, "No, this is all true. It's not easy to get a permanent residence as long as you pay some money. They are all in the countryside anyway."
Chen Cui'e nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "That's true. People from other places don't know the locals as well as they do, so it's not safe."
Jiang Xinbai didn't say anything. She stretched her back and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. Can you give me something to eat first?"
Chen Cui'e quickly held her youngest daughter's hand and warned her fiercely, "You are pregnant now, you can't do such actions." Then she instructed her eldest daughter-in-law, "Hehua, go and make two poached eggs. Put a spoonful of sugar in the soup and give them to Xiaolan and Xiaolan to fill their stomachs first."
"Mom, I don't want it. Xiaobai can have it." Jiang Xinlan thought that one fried egg was not enough for her younger sister to fill her teeth, so she didn't fight with her for it.
"Okay, those few eggs don't matter. I'm not a stepmother. Hehua, go quickly." Chen Cui'e waved her hand and urged.
Wu Hehua had benefited today and was in good shape. She responded and went to the kitchen, where she took out two eggs from the chicken coop. She thought about adding more soup later. If she couldn't eat the poached eggs herself, she could have a bowl of sweet soup.
Jiang Xinbai stood up and looked towards the kitchen. Seeing her sister-in-law squatting at the stove and making a fire, she turned around and approached her mother.
"Mom, is there still some dowry left by grandma at home?"
