That was truly worse than a mother-in-law, no, even worse than a locust!
When my mother-in-law first married into the Fan family, the Fan family was living a very comfortable life. Her family members took advantage of her and reaped countless benefits.
Later, the Fan family's life became worse day by day. No matter how hard life was, the mother-in-law still had to give money to her family every year. Even so, she didn't get any good things in return, only the disdain of her uncles.
Their past, including their younger selves, is often subjected to sarcastic and unsettling criticism.
In the past, she would never have wanted to have anything to do with her mother-in-law's family, but now... if she could use them to annoy her brother-in-law and Hu Shuiqing...
Sun Jinhua smiled.
Fan Qian first frowned deeply, then after a moment of contemplation, his brows gradually relaxed until he finally grinned.
Since the family went through a rough patch, the uncles haven't visited for two or three years, so they certainly don't know that the second son's family is now living a good life.
How could the second son, who was now living a good life, let his mother suffer with his older brother?
Of course, we should bring our mother to his home to enjoy a better life.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be unfilial?
"Once the flood recedes, I'll go to the wild boar's den to pick up my two uncles."
Isn't the second son only filial to his mother? Then let him bring his mother over to live with him and be filial to her every day!
Sun Jinhua understood the meaning behind Fan Qian's words: he was going to send her mother-in-law to her second son's house.
He was overjoyed.
The thought of finally being able to live a life where I am truly in charge and no longer have to serve my mother-in-law fills me with hope for the future.
The villagers are all saying that Hu Shuiqing's prosperous life after the family division is because of her mother-in-law. If you ask her, it has nothing to do with her. She must be being suppressed by her mother-in-law!
If one's own family is not doing well, it must be because of the pressure from one's mother-in-law. How can one possibly live well?
After her mother-in-law leaves, her family's life will surely improve!
She nodded hurriedly, her voice hoarse as she said, "If Mother stays with her younger brother-in-law, she can eat better." This would also save on food rations for her own family.
Fan Qian looked out of the yard. The floodwaters on the road had not yet receded completely, let alone in the fields. This year's harvest was hopeless.
The second son's family has no worries about food and drink, so his mother would definitely be willing to stay and eat well at the second son's house. When the uncles come over, he can use filial piety to pressure the second son's family, and he is not worried that the second son will dare to disagree.
However, it would be best to order something else as well.
What should I order?
I heard that mushrooms can be exchanged for eggs. The second son's family has a lot of eggs. If we need more eggs, we should get a few dozen old hens. With these old hens, we can eat eggs every day and be full.
Every now and then, they can even kill a chicken for a treat.
Fat rabbits and sheep are fine too; they're both meat, so you'll be full and won't lack oil.
We absolutely need food... If we don't bring Zhaodi back, and Mother sends her back again, there are only six of us in the family. How many kilograms of food would be enough to feed us...?
After finishing the meal, the bowls and chopsticks were handed over to the younger children.
Looking at Jiang Hehu clearing away the dishes and Ling Ran and Hu Wenhua rolling up their sleeves to wash the dishes, Qin Yilin felt that everything was good and she was satisfied with everything.
She exclaimed repeatedly, "Shuiqing, your housekeeping skills are truly amazing. I need to learn a lot from you."
Fan Jin said gently, "You accompany Aunt Ding to the teahouse for tea, and we'll stroll around outside."
Qin Yilin was already planning to ask Shui Qing about her affairs and was looking for an excuse to speak with her alone. Upon hearing Fan Jin's suggestion, she readily agreed.
Shui Qing could also tell that the discussion about the housekeeper was probably just a pretense, and that there was something else they wanted to say.
But what could it be?
Cooking is always done in the kitchen, where you can learn by watching, being explained, and practicing at the same time. It's unlikely to be a discussion about cooking.
Is it for Jiajia?
It seems that neither the Ding couple had read the Chinese-language magazine.
