Chapter 22: Not afraid of being busy or tired

22 Not afraid of being busy or tired

"Mom, it's nothing special that I'm just wearing it." Tang Xue said ashamedly.

Originally, she was a head shorter than her parents after she divorced and returned to her parents' home to be raised by them. She was really eager to do any work because she was afraid that her two sisters-in-law would not agree.

My second sister-in-law is fine, as long as she is doing the work, she doesn't have that much opinion.

But my sister-in-law is narrow-minded and gets angry easily.

She really didn't want to disturb her whole family because of her.

"I want to tear a piece of cloth to make a dress for my daughter, do I need her consent? Who does she think she is? If she is not happy, just divide the things among them. I have wanted to divide them among them a long time ago, but they just didn't want to!" Tang's second uncle scolded.

Why don't you want to share it?

Because they have moved out, they still have to find a place to rent. Not only do they have to pay rent every month, but they also have to be responsible for the family's food, clothing and other expenses.

Although Tang Xue's eldest brother and second brother both have jobs, they do not, and they have several children together, so the whole family depends on the salary of one man to support them.

This must have been a tough time.

However, Aunt Tang was considerate of them, so from time to time, she would give her two sons some of the salary that Uncle Tang earned as a doorman.

But I don't know when it started, it seemed to be what she was supposed to be.

When she gave it to them, the two daughters-in-law greeted her with smiles and called her "Mom". If she didn't give it to them, they would beat the children, and they even implied that grandma didn't love them or something like that.

Tang's second uncle had been angry for a long time.

This time, I bought a piece of cloth for my daughter to make clothes, which was almost the fuse.

Tang's second aunt was no longer polite and pointed at her eldest daughter-in-law's nose and scolded her until she was completely beaten to a pulp.

So he felt ashamed and ran away.

But this time, Tang's second aunt was really furious and had no intention of letting things go. She had finally realized that the family had to be divided!

The eldest son's family and the second son's family should all be separated and let them live on their own. Don't even think about taking advantage of them.

She really felt that she owed them!

Tang Xue lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable.

She knew that all this was because of her. If she hadn't divorced and returned to her parents' home, the family wouldn't have been in such a mess.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you come live with your aunt?" Mother Qin said, holding her niece's hand.

Tang Xue was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head, "No, Auntie, there's no way I can live with you."

Tang's second uncle was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I know you love her, but why does she need to live with you? It's not like we have nowhere to live. I'm still alive. Can I really let them go crazy? When Tang Xu and Tang Hui come back, I will tell them about the division of the family. Don't leave them here, move out!"

"Don't say those angry words. It's not easy for the two brothers right now. It's inevitable for them to quarrel with each other when they live together." Mother Qin would not add fuel to the fire. She advised, "I asked Xiaoxue to live with me because I wanted her to come over and help Yiyi."

"What do you mean?" Tang's second uncle was confused.

Mother Qin said, "Yiyi is now a self-employed business owner, selling tea eggs. She is very busy, so she wanted to find someone to help her. I recommended Xiaoxue to her. She knew that Xiaoxue was willing to work hard, so she was very happy and asked me to come back and talk to her."

Tang Xue was confused.

Tang's second aunt also said, "No, the Yi Yi you are talking about is Qin Lie's wife?"

"Then there's Yi Yi." Mother Qin said with a smile.

"With her personality, how dare she be a self-employed person selling tea eggs? Besides, doesn't Qin Lie send his monthly allowance back to her? Why would she need to do this?"

Mother Qin: "Yiyi had some conflicts with her parents' family, and the quarrel was quite fierce. Now she doesn't go back to her parents' house to visit. She doesn't know many people there. She has nothing to do at home, so she thought of selling tea leaf eggs. At first I was worried that she wouldn't be able to sell them, but in the past half month, she has sold quite well."

After saying that, he looked at his niece and said, "I'm her assistant when she sells tea leaf eggs, but she's still very busy, so she wants to find someone to help her. Don't worry, I won't use Xiaoxue in vain. She'll stay with us and get 30 yuan a month. If you miss home, you can take a leave in advance and come back to visit."

"They give me 30 yuan for a month's food and lodging there?" Tang's second aunt was surprised. "Isn't all the money I earned from selling tea eggs used as wages?"

Mother Qin smiled and said, "No, I think Yiyi's tea leaf eggs are still selling well. What you are worried about is nothing."

Of course, the daughter-in-law doesn't need to tell her sister-in-law how much money she earns. Having a good relationship with relatives is one thing, but you still have to keep a good distance when it comes to money.

Tang's second uncle still understood her sister-in-law's temper, so she looked at her daughter and said, "Xiaoxue, did you hear what your aunt said? Are you willing to give it a try?"

"I...I am willing!" Tang Xue was willing, but she was worried, "Aunt, I...I am clumsy, I am afraid I can't do it well."

Mother Qin smiled and said, "What do you mean by clumsy? I have never seen a girl more skillful than you, and I can do it. Yi Yi just feels sorry for me and doesn't want to tire me out, so she doesn't let me do more. If she doesn't let me, there's no need to hire anyone. Just go over there and I'll teach you when the time comes."

Tang Xue was still a little concerned, "Does my cousin know that I...I'm divorced?"

Divorce is considered unlucky in this country.

Even in the county, there are not many people getting divorced these days.

"Just don't worry. I've talked to Yi Yi. She said you're a blessed person, otherwise you wouldn't be able to jump out of that fire pit. She said you're a phoenix reborn from the ashes, and your future will be bright!" Mother Qin said in a soft voice.

"Did Yi Yi really say that?" Tang's second uncle asked hurriedly.

"How could it be false? I can't say such a thing." Mother Qin said with a smile.

Tang Xue was obviously moved, "Then I'll go in and pack my clothes, and I'll go with you today, aunt?"

"Okay, go pack up, and we'll go back after you're done."

"Why are you going back so soon? Sit for a while."

"We're busy at home, so we can't leave it all to Yiyi. I'll take Xiaoxue back to help." Qin's mother said.

Only then did Tang's second aunt say anything.

Tang Xue had already packed her things. She only had one set of clothes to change into, which were washed so lightly.

"Keep that piece of cloth. I'll give it to you when mom makes clothes for you." said Tang's second uncle.

Tang Xue also felt that her clothes were a bit worn out. It was okay at home, but when she went to her aunt's house, she still had to dress nicely, so she nodded.

"Thank you, Mom. I'll go with my aunt."

"Go ahead. Mom will come to see you when she's done." Tang's second aunt nodded.

On the way back, Tang Xue let Qin's mother ride her bicycle.

"Aunt, I'm staying at your place, so you don't have to give me thirty yuan. Twenty will be enough."

Mother Qin said, "Good child, don't think about it. I'll give you thirty. When you go to your aunt's house, just treat it as your own home. Don't feel constrained. You know your uncle and Yi Yi, who are also very easy to get along with. But I guess she will be a little busy because the tea leaf egg business is very good."

"I'm not afraid of being busy." Tang Xue said seriously.

As long as she can get a job that pays the bills, she really isn't afraid of being busy or tired.
