Chapter 5 I don't have a fever, why did I start talking nonsense?
"Hey, how can you talk like that? I'm your sister-in-law, and you should be taught a lesson by your elder brother." Li Huifen stretched out her hand to twist Yang Xiumin's ear, but she quickly dodged it.
Yang Xiumin glared, "It's none of your business to control me. My parents are still here. If you come again, I'll tell mom that you're trying to sow discord, and she'll scold you to death."
"You..." Li Huifen was extremely angry. A little girl dared to go against her, but she was afraid of being scolded by her mother-in-law, so she could only stare and be angry.
At night, when Yang Xiumin was about to go to bed, she heard her brother calling her softly, "Xiaomin, you are still awake, right? I have something good for you." Then he took out a clam shell from his pocket and handed it to her through the curtain.
After Yang Xiumin saw the object clearly in the moonlight, he immediately sat up, took it in his hand and looked at it happily, then put down the clam oil as if he had thought of something, and snorted coldly: "Brother, are you trying to please me? You think you can please me with just a piece of clam oil? You really underestimate me."
Yang Jinsheng was speechless. "Why should I please you? Love or not?"
"You even said that I have to give up this room just because you are getting married. I have no place to sleep. You are going too far." Yang Xiumin glared at Yang Jinsheng with red eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jinsheng was unhappy, "Hey, what are you talking about? This was originally the wedding room that my parents left for me. Look, my eldest brother and second brother each have one. Now I'm getting married, so what's wrong with taking it back? If you're still not happy with it, give me back the clam oil."
Yang Xiumin felt even more upset after hearing what she said, "Then there is no place for me in this house?" Although she knew that this room was for her brother's wedding, she just couldn't accept it.
Although Yang Jinsheng thought it was normal to take back the room as a wedding room, his little sister was really pitiful, so he could only coax her: "Xiao Min, don't worry, mom won't let you sleep in the living room. Mom said that you can put up a small bed in their room. I promise you that if you get married in the future, I will give you a big red envelope, bigger than the ones given by my eldest brother and second brother. It will be considered as compensation for you. What do you think?"
"You said it yourself? You can't go back on your word." Yang Xiumin also wanted to quit while she was ahead. After all, she had three older brothers, and the house was not big enough, so she was the only one who suffered.
…
After tidying up the house the next day, Sun Erni did not delay and went straight to Zhao's house upstairs.
Li Huifen touched the hand of her second brother's wife, Su Qiuyan, and pouted, "Look how anxious mom is. The third brother just said he wanted to get married last night, and she went to inquire about it right away. Isn't it because she despises the two of us for not being able to give birth to a boy and looks down on us?"
Su Qiuyan didn't think she couldn't give birth to a son. She smiled and touched her belly, "Sister-in-law, that's you. I'm different. You've given birth to two daughters, but I only have one. I have a chance to give birth to a son. Don't put me and you together."
Upon hearing this, Li Huifen became unhappy and sneered, "Oh, you despise me? If you have the ability, give birth to a grandson to make your parents happy. Who can't brag here?" But she didn't know that the second eldest daughter was injured when she gave birth to her first child, and there has been no news in the past two years.
As soon as Su Qiuyan saw her sister-in-law's face, she knew what she was thinking, and said inwardly: Just wait, after I give birth to the eldest grandson of the Yang family, my parents will be on my side.
Upstairs, Sun Erni stood at the door of the Zhao family and knocked gently, "Feng Ni, are you home?"
Xu Fengni was counting various bills in the house. When she heard the sound, she quickly stuffed her things into her bag and hid them in the back of the closet. Then she sorted out her clothes and asked as she walked, "Who is home?"
"It's me, Erni."
As soon as Xu Fengni opened the door, she smiled, "Hey, how come you have time to come to my house today? Have you finished pasting the matchboxes?"
Sun Erni waved her hand and replied, "Not so fast. I have something to talk to you about. Let's go in and talk."
Xu Fengni greeted her as she entered the house. Just as she was about to pour some water, she was stopped by Sun Erni. "Don't be polite. I want to ask you something. Come on, sit down."
"What's the matter? Why do you come to ask?" Xu Fengni looked curious.
"Well," Sun Erni paused for a moment and continued, "Well, the girl Yitai is engaged to is surnamed Jiang, right? How is her family? Well, I don't mean anything else, but my third son fell in love with the younger sister of Yitai's girlfriend. As soon as he came back last night, he asked me to propose marriage. But I don't know anything here and it's not easy for me to go, so I thought I'd ask you."
Xu Fengni showed a happy expression when she heard this, "Er Ni, you asked the right person. The girl from the Jiang family should be called Jiang Xinbai. She is fair and tender, and has a sweet mouth. She looks well-behaved, but she looks quite young..."
Hearing this, Sun Erni couldn't help but show some helplessness on her face, "Who said it wasn't true? My kid is just anxious. I think after all, he likes her, so I'll just let him do what he wants."
"That's great. Don't worry about her. She is a good girl and her parents are reasonable. I tell you not to tell anyone else first. We gave Yitai a betrothal gift of 188 yuan, and Jiang's parents directly said that they would give back half of it. Don't you think that's rare? Usually the girl takes all." At this point, Xu Fengni was even more satisfied with Jiang Xinlan. What's wrong with a country girl? She is more decent than some city people and knows how to behave.
"Really? Did the Jiang family really say that?" Sun Erni stared at Xu Fengni with her eyes wide open. You know, her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law also gave a betrothal gift of 188 yuan, but they only gave 20 yuan as a dowry, and the second daughter-in-law gave 10 yuan more, 30 yuan as a dowry. But compared to the 188 yuan she gave, these 20 or 30 yuan were not enough.
Xu Fengni nodded proudly, "That's right, she's going to get married next month, so of course it's true. If I were to ask you, your father likes her, then you should hurry up and propose marriage. Also, I heard that Xiaolan's elder sister gave birth to three big fat boys in one go. If the elder sister is so hardworking, how can the younger sister be any worse?"
Sun Erni touched her nose awkwardly and muttered, "Well, you can't say that. It makes me sound like I'm trying to gain something from them. How unpleasant!"
Xu Fengni rolled her eyes at her, "How can I not know what you are thinking? We have been sisters for many years, and you are just thinking about your eldest grandson. Listen to me, it's right, the girl is fine."
While they were talking heatedly here, Jiang Xinbai from the Jiang family found an opportunity to pull his mother back to the house.
"Mom, I've found a partner in the city, and we can get the marriage certificate when I turn 18." Jiang Xinbai said with a smile.
Chen Cui'e touched her little daughter's forehead and muttered, "She doesn't have a fever, why is she talking nonsense?"
