Mo Yan went out and was about to go to the kitchen when she saw her daughter-in-law cooking with a huge pregnant belly. Her belly was frighteningly large, and it looked like she was about to give birth.
"Dayun, don't cook here, go and rest. I can do it."
My daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I'm still asking her to cook. I'm speechless.
Mo Yan glanced at it and saw that Da Yun's foot was so swollen it was unrecognizable; it must be very painful.
"Mom, it's okay." Da Yun was still a little puzzled. Why was her mother-in-law acting so strangely today? She dared not slack off. "I can manage. Dinner will be ready in a bit."
There really wasn't much food at that time; meat at home was a rare treat, reserved for holidays and special occasions like Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, they had land in their village. The original owner had made arrangements with the villagers to buy a few old hens and some cured meat, all of which were purchased with coupons and money. Although buying and selling was allowed at this time, many things still required coupons.
Although the original owner was biased and particularly stingy, that's why she managed to save over fifty yuan, along with some coupons, such as cloth coupons, meat coupons, and industrial coupons. Yes, that was pretty good.
In two years, these tickets will be completely cancelled. Mo Yan plans to spend all those tickets. After that, she'll have to think of something to sell, otherwise life will be really tough.
At this point, there was no explicit statement that sales were allowed, but neither were purchases prohibited. Everything takes time. [Specific timings varied by location; please don't delve into the exact timing, this is just background information.]
"You can do whatever you want! Just get out of here. Go sit on the sofa. Don't you even look at yourself? Your belly is huge! It's terrifying to look at. Get out of here right now."
Mo Yan raised her voice, and Da Yun quickly nodded, "Okay, okay." Hmm, her mother-in-law's tone returned to normal.
Mo Yan watched her leave, feeling helpless. So, couldn't she just speak softly to her?
Mo Yan looked at the dishes; they were just a potato and a radish.
This is already a pretty good life, Mo Yan thought for a moment, then cut off a piece of meat.
The meat was particularly fatty, and people at that time thought fatty meat was good because it was oily and flavorful. Mo Yan diced it, removed the cracklings, cracked two eggs into it, added some chopped green onions and water, and it became a pot of egg drop soup.
Once everything was ready, Mo Yan brought it to the table.
Just as I reached the table, Chunxiang returned.
Chunxiang sat down at the table as soon as she came in, and then looked at Daeyun next to her.
"Sister-in-law, you really have it easy. You don't have to do anything and just let my mom do all the work."
As Chunxiang started eating, Moyan brought out a bowl of rice porridge and slapped her hand. "Don't you have any manners? I asked your sister-in-law to sit down, is there a problem? She's about to give birth, shouldn't she be resting?"
Da Yun was beaten and felt very wronged.
"Mom, I'm just worried about you. You're already so old, you should be enjoying your life, but you still have to take care of your son and daughter-in-law."
These words, spoken as if for Mo Yan's good, are no different from sowing discord.
"Don't just talk about how much you care about me; actually do something to show you care. Have you done anything?"
Dayun felt even more aggrieved. She hadn't said anything wrong. "Mom, I'm a married daughter. How can I take care of you?"
"Hmm, now that you're a married daughter, when you come home for a meal or to get something, why don't you feel this way?"
"Your sister-in-law will have to take care of your mother. You just need to give orders; the credit will still be yours, right?"
