Chapter 210 Mom, please help me take care of the kids!
When Yang Xiufen first heard Fang Xiaoyue say this, she was a little surprised. She originally thought that the living expenses for her mother-in-law were all subsidized to her brother-in-law's family. She didn't expect that her mother-in-law only gave out three yuan every month. It was really unexpected.
But she changed her mind and thought, who cares who her mother-in-law gave the money to? Anyway, her family gave the money, so she felt more confident. "I don't care. Anyway, we give money every month."
Seeing that Yang Xiufen was getting tougher, Old Lady Zhou rolled her eyes and lay on the ground, crying, "Oh, old man, it would be a relief if you left early, leaving me alone to suffer in this world. The son whom I raised with great effort has started to side with his wife and doesn't care about my life or death. You might as well just take me with you, oh..."
Yang Xiufen was afraid that her husband would be soft-hearted again, so she stood in front of him and squinted at Old Lady Zhou, "Mom, you should be more careful when you speak. Dad might hear you down there and feel lonely, so he comes up to take you away."
When Old Lady Zhou heard this, she immediately jumped up from the ground, spat a few times on the ground, clasped her hands together and waved them, saying guiltily: "Old man, don't be in a hurry to come up. I will burn more paper money for you during the Qingming Festival. When I have lived enough, I will go down to accompany you!"
Zhou Yu was originally a little soft-hearted, but seeing the old lady's current appearance, he couldn't help rolling his eyes. He was stupid and was always caught in the trap.
Yang Xiufen secretly glanced at her husband's face, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at her mother-in-law, "Mom, we are under great pressure to raise a child now, so I will give you five yuan a month in the future. It is enough for you to spend alone, and there will be two yuan left."
"No, how come it became five dollars? We agreed to give you ten dollars a month. Big brother, you can't just ignore mom?" Old Mrs. Zhou said as she stepped forward and held Zhou Yu's hand. She knew that her eldest son was still very filial and would soften his heart if she said a few more words.
But this time Zhou Yu was really hurt. When he didn't have children before, it was okay for him to be a little biased. It was okay for him to suffer a little injustice, but now his mother was causing injustice for her son, and he couldn't stand it, so he turned his head away and didn't even look at her.
Yang Xiufen turned to look at Fang Xiaoyue and said with a smile: "Xiaoyue, anyway, mom is helping you take care of the child, and the food and accommodation are all at your house. Otherwise, I can just give the money directly to you..."
Fang Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly, "Okay, sister-in-law, just give it to me!"
"Oh, no, it's for me. How can I give it to you? I don't agree."
"Mom, you live and eat at my house, wouldn't it be more convenient to give it to me? I don't have to ask you for it again."
"Bullshit, I've raised your children for so many years for nothing, how come you can't afford to eat my food? What's more, I subsidize you every month, otherwise how did you get that bicycle? It's not my money."
"Haha, is that my child? Does he have the same last name as me? Even if you put it nicely, he is still your Zhou family's offspring. You're talking about helping me raise the child. That's ridiculous."
Fang Xiaoyue had long been dissatisfied with her mother-in-law. Every time they quarreled, she would ask her to help her raise the child. Why? Could she have given birth to a child by herself? And the child didn't have her last name.
When Mrs. Zhou heard her daughter-in-law's crooked logic, she also got angry, "Then you don't have my last name. My last name is Fang, not Zhou."
"Then don't worry about it,"
"No matter what..."
While they were arguing, Yang Xiufen pushed her husband out and laughed after they were quite far away. "Haha, that's really funny. Look at your mother and your sister-in-law. I thought they were such good friends, but they quarreled over five dollars. It seems like it's the same for your aunt as a mother-in-law. There are still conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Zhou Yu didn't respond. He just looked at the child in his arms with a headache and asked, "Don't worry about them for now. What do you think we should do with Xiaoyuan? Should we really send him to a nursery? I can't bear to let him go."
"If you don't want to leave, then you can take care of the children! You put all the pressure on me. Why? The chairman said that women hold up half the sky, so why should I stay at home to take care of the children?"
Yang Xiufen said this purely out of anger. If she really was asked to send her child to a nursery, she would be reluctant to do so, but this was not a reason to force her not to go to work.
Zhou Yu was embarrassed by her criticism and muttered, "I didn't ask you to stay at home to take care of the children. We have to find a way too."
"Solution, solution, you can think of one, your mother's ready-made one is useless!"
Zhou Yu touched his nose and asked tentatively: "Why don't we ask my mother-in-law? See if she can help?"
After hearing this, Yang Xiufen glanced at her husband and asked, "How much do you think you give my mother a month? Your mother did nothing, but you gave her 10 yuan a month before! Don't say you're making money for your mother. I was also raised by my parents, so I didn't give her anything. In rural areas, parents help their sons find wives, build houses, and take care of their children. What did your mother do for you?"
Zhou Yu was helpless, looked around, and whispered: "Xiu Fen, keep your voice down, we are outside, don't let people laugh at you. If mother-in-law can help take care of Xiao Yuan, we will give her 15 yuan each, what do you think?"
"My mom spends 15 dollars, your mom spends 10 dollars, that's 25 dollars a month, can you afford this?"
Yang Xiufen deliberately tested the issue by saying that she had no objection to giving her mother fifteen yuan a month, but the ten yuan a month for her mother-in-law should be reduced a bit.
Zhou Yu glanced at his wife and replied, "Mom gives me five dollars a month. Didn't we agree on that just now?"
"Okay, don't think that fifteen yuan is a lot. My mother still has to help the third child take care of the children, and she may not be willing to do so!" Yang Xiufen was afraid that her husband would think that she was getting a bargain for her mother, so she said this in advance.
"Oh, that's right. Jinsheng's little Bai is only a little over one year old. Xiufen, you must talk to mom and ask her to help us!"
"What's the use of me talking alone? You should say something too. Let's not wait until tomorrow. Go find mom now." Yang Xiufen is also a person of action. She went to her parents' home immediately after she said she would.
"Mom, mom, I'm at home!" Yang Xiufen said as she pushed open the door and walked in.
Sun Erni, who was about to coax Xiaobao to sleep, rolled her eyes at her and said, "Why are you yelling? Xiaobao was almost asleep and you woke him up again."
As he spoke, he saw his son-in-law following behind his eldest daughter, and frowned, "Zhou Yu, aren't you going to work today? Also, why did you bring the child out? The child is young and can't stand the wind."
Yang Xiufen chuckled twice, sat directly next to my mother, pulled her arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, mom, you are my real mother, you have to save me this time!"
Sun Erni was flustered by her words and quickly pulled her hand away and said, "Speak properly."
Yang Xiufen pointed and said, "Mom, please help me take care of Xiaoyuan! I will go to work the day after tomorrow."
