Chapter 116 Bathhouse Talk
116 Bathhouse Talk
"Do you really think I don't know that you are looking for trouble? You deliberately burned the pot on the first day you came back, and broke the dishes and spoons while washing them. Do you think we are all fools? Do you think your mother can't see through your tricks?" Qin Feng said with a cold face.
Jiang Xiangyi's face turned pale and blue, "Then why should I do it? Why shouldn't the person on the other side do it?"
Yes, she did it on purpose, deliberately trying not to do anything well or do nothing!
If she does everything when she comes back first, she will have to serve the whole family when her sister-in-law comes back. Why?
"Because she is pregnant now, and because the third child has not been home for three years, she is the one who has been taking care of our parents!" Qin Feng said angrily.
Jiang Xiangyi was not convinced: "It's true that she stayed at home for a few years, but we didn't take advantage of her. We didn't come back, but we sent her 200 yuan a year for living expenses on time!"
"Isn't this what I should do? They are my parents, it is only natural that I use my salary to support them! Also, how much money do you give to your mother's family? Do I need to remind you?" Qin Feng stared at her.
His salary is 80 yuan a month, not including bonuses. If bonuses are included, it would be over 100 yuan.
It's almost a thousand a year, so what if she gives 200 to her parents for retirement? Didn't she give anything to her father-in-law and mother-in-law? Yes, she gave even more!
Jiang Xiangyi was so blocked that she couldn't say a word.
Seeing that he was really angry, Jiang Xiangyi softened her tone: "Okay, stop arguing, or people will hear you laughing!"
"You still know how to joke? You come home once in a few years, and you don't fit in with my family. You act like a swan that has fallen into a pigpen. Who are you doing this for?" Qin Feng was angry and it was not so easy to suppress it.
Jiang Xiangyi was so angry, "What do you mean by that? Do you really want to cause trouble?"
"This is the only time you go home to celebrate the New Year in all these years. If you don't make trouble, no one will!" Qin Feng said stiffly.
The last time he came back was because his father was critically ill, and it was not the Chinese New Year. This is the first time he has come back to celebrate the Chinese New Year since he went to the border!
She can do whatever she wants with everything else, but if she causes any trouble for him this year, he will never forgive her!
Although the noise of the quarrel was muted, everyone outside was aware that they were arguing in the room, but even if they knew, they pretended not to know.
Especially Qin's mother, she was not used to this eldest daughter-in-law at all. After they finished eating, she called her directly: "Old lady, come out and wash the dishes!"
Jiang Xiangyi in the room almost burst into tears!
She hasn't even eaten, but they still ask her to wash the dishes. This is really too much!
She couldn't help but look at Qin Feng, hoping that he would say something for her. Qin Feng couldn't bear it, so he stepped out and said, "Mom, Xiang Yi is not feeling well. I'll help clean up."
Qin Hong, who was cleaning up the dishes, said, "No need for you, brother. I can do it. You can go back and take care of your sister-in-law."
"Thank you for your hard work, little sister." Qin Feng said.
Mother Qin was too lazy to bother with this useless son. His behavior was the same as that of the guy in the room. It was really disgusting. "You shouldn't stay here. Go back to your room!" She felt really unhappy when she saw him.
Qin Feng, who obviously felt that he was being rejected, said: "..."
It was Qin Lie who saved him. "Brother, do you want to take a bath together?"
"Okay!" Qin Feng nodded quickly.
The two brothers came to the bathhouse to take a bath, and they could talk to each other while soaking in the bath.
Qin Feng sighed, "It's a rare opportunity for us to come back for the New Year, and we've upset Mom."
Qin Lie was not polite either: "How can you not even endure this half month? I think my sister-in-law wants her eyes to grow on her head."
It's not nice for a brother-in-law to say this about his sister-in-law, but since his elder brother has taken the initiative to bring it up, why can't he say it?
Originally, the whole family was waiting for them to come back for dinner, but they ended up eating outside. Of course, mom was not happy about it, and she didn't even tell them in advance.
After being scolded by his mother, he didn't give in and apologize. Instead, he rolled his eyes at his mother and went back to the house.
Qin Feng: "That's just her temper."
"A woman's temper can be changed. It just depends on whether the man in the family is useless." Qin Lie said bluntly.
Qin Feng: "That's not the case. Every couple has their own way of getting along with each other."
"So brother, you are immersed in it and enjoying it very much?" Qin Lie asked.
Qin Feng was choked and speechless.
"My wife stayed at home with my parents for three years. Three years later, my wife wanted to join the army. My parents were reluctant to let her go. But my eldest sister-in-law came back to celebrate the New Year. It has only been a few days since she came back, and I saw that my mother's face was dark. Is my mother the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing? You only come back to celebrate the New Year once in so many years, and my mother is not happy? She can even take the initiative to cause trouble? Whose problem do you think is this now?"
Qin Lie said as he asked him to rub his back.
Qin Feng said as he rubbed her back: "I just told your sister-in-law that she will change."
"Brother, you don't want to wait until the time comes to go back, and you're still thinking about not spending time with mom and dad this New Year, and instead causing them trouble, right? Have a good talk with sister-in-law, and even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be virtuous and spend the New Year well. I don't know when you can come back next time, and I guess by the time you come back, half of your parents' hair will be white!" Qin Lie said.
Qin Feng felt very ashamed, "I know."
Qin Lie didn't say anything and gave it to his elder brother after rubbing it.
Qin Feng said: "My sister-in-law is a good-tempered person. She didn't blame you even though you haven't been home for a few years."
"Of course my wife is good!" Qin Lie can say with great pride that his wife is ten thousand times more virtuous than his sister-in-law, and his wife never makes his mother angry.
On the contrary, his mother always had a smile on her face whenever she was with his wife.
Qin Feng laughed, "Your sister-in-law is not a bad person, she just doesn't get along with mom, but your sister-in-law and mom get along well. By the way, what's the story behind your sister-in-law's tea egg business?"
Qin Lie: "Before, my rank was not high enough, so my wife could not follow me in the army. It was really boring for her to stay at home alone, so I found something to do. But she is smart, and she found a way out with this tea leaf egg."
"This is really smart. He has even made it to the provincial capital."
He guessed that the tea leaf eggs they bought after getting off the train were sold wholesale.
Talking about his troublesome wife, Qin Lie couldn't help but smile: "She just can't sit still."
Qin Feng knew that the two of them had a good relationship, and smiled: "But you are also amazing, there has been no news for three years, and now you have twins."
Qin Lie heard his tone and said, "Are you jealous? Why didn't you have one or two more children? You can afford to raise them."
Qin Feng won’t talk about this anymore.
In fact, it’s not that he didn’t want it. There was an incident in 1981 when Gu Xiangyi didn’t want to have a baby. She had an abortion before he knew about it, and by the time he knew about it, she had already started the confinement period.
