Chapter 220: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Battle 5 Tell the truth, you are in your mother-in-law's bowl...
Return to northern Shaanxi?
In that kind of environment and conditions, Chu's mother couldn't bear to see her daughter suffer any more, so she quickly refused: "No, no, think of another way."
Father Chu was helpless: "What can we do? Do you know how much Shan Yong and the others are spending here? If this continues, I won't be able to save enough money to marry Ling Ze, and I'll even be in debt. Can you bear to let our son remain single? Besides, Ling Yi is so naughty, it will always be a trouble if she stays at home. Let her go with the Shan family."
Mother Chu bit her lip and stopped talking. She was heartbroken.
My family's financial situation isn't very good, but...
She thought and thought, and finally said when Father Chu was about to fall asleep: "If it really doesn't work out, I will go out and find a job tomorrow. I'll find an easy job that can help supplement the family income."
Father Chu sighed silently. His wife was so stubborn. Maybe she was worried that Ling Yi had married into the Shan family to save her life, or maybe she was just partial to the younger ones.
Forget it, since the mother insists, let him help find out. I don’t know which company is so blind to let an old and sick woman go to work.
The next morning, the old couple went to make arrangements, asking relatives and friends for help. It was very embarrassing. It would not be good to go to the door empty-handed, so they had to buy something to bring over. Even if it was just a bag of sugar or a fish, it would be a huge burden for the current Chu family.
But there's nothing we can do, since Old Chu loves his wife so much.
It’s a pity that it’s so hard to find a job in the city these days. Otherwise, what would those educated youth do in the countryside?
Well, there has been no good news for several days. In the end, only the radio station has not made a definite statement. We have to wait and see whether it will work or not.
When Mr. Chu came home from get off work, he saw Mrs. Chu sighing and asked quickly, "What's wrong? Old Ma refuses to help?"
"I helped..." Mother Chu hesitated for a moment, then cheered up and forced a smile. "Old Ma asked me to clean the place. It's not a formal job, and I earn fifteen yuan a month."
Mr. Chu had never heard of such a position and couldn't help wondering: "It's not considered a formal employee? Then how can he pay you?"
"I don't know. Who cares? Money's all that matters." Mother Chu wasn't in a position to be picky right now, so she quickly tried to comfort Old Chu. "Maybe Old Ma took my health into consideration and found me a less formal position. This way, even if something happens at home, it's easy for me to take time off."
Father Chu thought about it and agreed reluctantly: "Then take it easy and don't overwork yourself."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Mother Chu turned and went to the kitchen to see if dinner was ready.
Chu Lingyi has been much quieter these days. Based on her mother's understanding of her daughter, she suspected that the child was holding her fart in.
Seeing her daughter serving rice, Chu's mother quickly took out an empty bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and transferred a little rice from each bowl into the empty bowl.
After finishing, Chu's mother immediately started eating in front of Chu Lingyi.
Chu Lingyi was so frightened that she quickly snatched the bowl from her hand: "What are you doing, Mom? This rice is undercooked, don't eat it."
"It's not undercooked." Mother Chu didn't dare to let her in-laws get into trouble in her own home, so she quickly snatched the bowl and continued to put it into her mouth.
Chu Lingyi got anxious and knocked the bowl over with a slap.
Mother Chu felt heartbroken as she watched the white rice spill onto the ground. She was also afraid that Father Chu would get angry if he found out, so she quickly closed the small wooden door of the kitchen and asked, "Tell me the truth, what did you put in there?"
"I got some sleeping pills and plan to take them to the train after they fall asleep." Chu Lingyi was not that cruel, but she really couldn't stand her mother-in-law and her man, so she wanted to send them away.
Mother Chu was extremely worried: "You are so stupid! Have you considered the child? Should we let them take him away or leave him here? If we let them take him away, Daddy and Grandma are both unconscious, who will take care of the child? If he stays at home, won't all your efforts be in vain? Will the Shan family let this go? They will definitely come back again."
Chu Lingyi had certainly considered this. She whispered, "Mom, what are you afraid of? If it really doesn't work out, hide the child at my aunt's house. Her son and daughter-in-law can't give birth to a son, and she's worried. Let her family raise the child for two years. It's just right for us to share in the blessing of our child. Maybe they can give birth to a boy."
This is a good idea. Mother Chu did not refute it. She thought for a moment and said, "Can you promise me that it's really just sleeping pills?"
"Of course it's true." Chu Lingyi swore. She had spent a lot of effort grinding the sleeping pills into powder and mixing them in. She quickly reminded him, "There are only these two bowls. You just rummaged through them all, so I had no choice but to spill them for you."
"That's good. I'll find a way to get your father out of the way later, otherwise he will definitely not agree if he finds out. I'll sweep the floor, and you quickly bring the food over." Mother Chu understood that her daughter had deliberately added sleeping pills to the two bowls with the most food, and it was not done recklessly.
These days, Shanmu and Shan Yong have been scrambling for the good food, and they will definitely choose the two bowls with the most food.
Sure enough, as soon as the food was served, the two bowls with sleeping pills in them were snatched away by the single mother, who also picked out a bowl that was just the right amount for her grandson.
In order to coax them to eat more, Chu Lingyi made braised pork and sweet and sour fish today. The mother and son of the Shan family devoured the food at the dinner table.
Chu Lingyi rolled her eyes silently. Let them be reincarnated as starving ghosts. If they fall asleep later, it’s not her fault. It’s all their own fault.
After dinner, the medicine had not yet taken effect, so Chu Lingyi went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Chu Lingze always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After all, his sister had been constantly picking on the Shan family these past few days, and today, for the first time ever, she'd cooked so many delicious dishes? And she hadn't even mocked her mother-in-law?
The sun rises from the west, right?
Chu Lingze simply couldn't believe it, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became.
After thinking about it, he thought that the only possibility was that the food was tampered with. He did not say anything and used the excuse of going to a colleague's house to play, went out and hid, staring at the door of his own house.
Soon, his father came out. He might have gone to a friend's house to smooth things over, or he might have gone to play chess with friends. In short, he believed that his father was an upright man and must have been unaware of what was going on, so he continued to hold back his temper and wait.
When it was getting dark, Chu Lingyi came out and went to Aunt Mao's house with the sleeping child in her arms. She lied to Aunt Mao that Shan Yong was sick and had to go to the hospital for treatment, and asked Aunt Mao to help take care of the child.
Although Aunt Mao was dissatisfied with what Chu Lingyi did, she was still kind-hearted and quickly took the child in. She told Chu Lingyi not to worry and to wait until she recovered before taking the child back. The child would be fine with her.
Chu Lingyi breathed a sigh of relief and borrowed Aunt Mao's tricycle.
Soon, in the dark of night, the mother and daughter of the Chu family helped the unconscious mother and son of the Shan family onto the tricycle. Mother Chu also sat on it, sitting in the middle, supporting one with each hand, so as to avoid people seeing two sleeping adults and arousing suspicion.
This scene made Chu Lingze very disappointed. His sister was indeed hopeless. He had no idea what she was planning to do so late at night.
Fortunately, the mother and son of the Shan family were just asleep and did not seem to be in immediate danger of life.
Chu Lingze quickly followed. After all, Chu Lingyi had just had a miscarriage, and carrying three adults alone was very slow, so he could follow behind at a leisurely pace.
Around eight o'clock, Chu Lingyi parked the car at the train station and personally helped Shan Yong get off the car, while Chu's mother helped Shan's mother.
The mother and daughter used the excuse that their in-laws and son-in-law were sick and they wanted to go back to northern Shaanxi to recuperate. They bought two hard seat tickets and two platform tickets and walked towards the ticket gate.
