Su Man saw Wang Xuenong and stood up and said respectfully, "Dad."
Wang Xuenong glanced at her, his dry mouth opening and closing briefly, "Sit down."
Su Man was not surprised by his attitude. When Gao Man was in the Gao family before, this father-in-law didn't like her very much either.
One was the matter between Gao Man and Zhao Baili, and the other was that before she entered the door, Zhang Cuihua had already said a lot of bad things about Gao Man to Wang Xuenong, making Wang Xuenong feel that it was shameful to marry such a wife, and naturally he disliked her.
Coincidentally, Wang Fengye came out of the east room rubbing his eyes.
"Mom, is the meal ready?"
Liu Ping smiled and said, "Okay, wash your face and come over for dinner."
Wang Fengye responded, tidied up, came over and sat down, picked up the bowl and took a big sip of porridge, then grimaced in pain because of the burn.
Liu Ping reluctantly took the bowl and scooped out the porridge to help him cool it down. "You're already a married man, yet you're still so irritable. Blow it out before you drink it."
Wang Fengye scratched his head innocently, "I forgot."
Su Man laughed and lowered her head to drink the porridge without rice.
...
The Wang family lived in the impoverished Daming Village, where their living conditions were lower-middle class. Their porridge didn't even have rice in it, just corn grits and a few pieces of pumpkin.
There was no dry food, only a few sweet potatoes and some pickled radishes on the table.
Not to mention meat, even white rice and white flour are nowhere to be seen.
In fact, the Wang family was not in this situation in the early years. Wang Xuenong was hardworking and Liu Ping was diligent. They built these three rooms and had three children within a few years of their marriage.
The eldest is Wang Fugui, the second is Wang Xuemei, and the third is Wang Fengye.
But a few years ago, Wang Xuenong fell down in the field while working in the fields. When he got up, half of his body was paralyzed and he couldn't get out of bed.
When I went to the hospital, I was told it was a brain disease. The examination and medical expenses were shockingly expensive.
In desperation, they had to take Wang Xuenong home to take care of him and get some medicine from a small clinic in town to maintain his health.
But even the cheapest medicine is unaffordable for them.
...
Su Man thought that since she wanted to repay the favor, she must help the Wang family change their current life.
If you want to change, you have to make money.
Su Man's mind was full of how to make money, and her movements slowed down as she ate.
Seeing this, Liu Ping thought that she didn't like these, so she said, "Girl, I'll go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and make you some dumplings, okay?"
Wang Xuenong coughed twice and looked at Liu Ping disapprovingly, meaning that she was pampering the new daughter-in-law too much.
He said indifferently, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Of course, you should eat whatever your husband's family has. Since you've married into our family, don't think about those unnecessary things and don't do anything that will bring shame to the family."
"I know, Dad."
Su Man did not argue and just listened to the lecture silently.
Wang Xuenong's expression eased slightly, and he felt that Su Man was frightened by him.
Just like what Zhang Cuihua said a few days ago, if you marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, it will bring shame to the family if you don't do it right.
And looking at Su Man's appearance, she doesn't seem like someone who is going through a rough patch, so it's better to give her some warning in advance.
So Su Man listened to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues the whole morning until Liu Ping brought him water to take his medicine and shut him up.
Su Man looked at the bottle carefully and almost laughed.
This is not a medicine to cure any disease, it's just a bottle of vitamin B2.
That small clinic must have deliberately deceived Liu Ping because they saw that she was illiterate and had no knowledge of medicine.
Moreover, seeing that Wang Xuenong looks so energetic, his condition is not serious. It is probably because he has not been taking medication for treatment, which is why it has been delayed until now.
Su Man had an idea. If Wang Xuenong could be cured, not only would he change his opinion of her, but the Wang family's life would also be easier with more laborers.
