Chapter 379: New Year Gifts, the Vietnamese Wife
"That's fine. Anyway, I don't trust his brother to drive with the condition of his feet. But I need to discuss this matter with my parents." Zhang Wanwan pondered.
Zhang Baiyan didn't think it was a big problem. Many villagers were hired to work there, and they were already short of manpower. If someone could stay there for a long time without having any negative emotions, Zhang's father and mother would definitely be happy about it.
Sure enough, after the two of them told Zhang's father and mother about Qin Wenjun's family situation, they both agreed to Zhang Wanwan's arrangement without much hesitation.
Zhang's mother said thankfully, "Fortunately, there are more bungalows over there. There are two rooms where you can sleep. The conditions are pretty good, but there is no bathroom. If you want to watch over there for a long time, I'm afraid you'll have to build a bathroom there."
Zhang Baiyan agreed and said, "Really? I've wanted to talk about this bathroom issue for a long time. You don't know that there are so many people working there now, and it's inconvenient for everyone to go to the bathroom. Some people go back home to use the bathroom, and some people with poor quality just urinate and defecate anywhere. I don't know what to say."
Zhang Wanwan patted her head in annoyance and looked at Zhang Boyan and the others apologetically, "I really didn't think so much about it before. In this case, I have to ask my second uncle to come and help repair the toilet first. We can just build another row of bungalows. We can build a public toilet in the row of bungalows where we are working now, and build a bathroom for showers in the new row of bungalows. This will be convenient."
It doesn't cost much to build a bungalow now, so Zhang's father and mother were not very interested in it. They just called Li Yongshou and told him about it, and asked Li Yongshou and his team to supervise the construction.
The next day, Li Yongfu came over with a bunch of seafood and game, saying that they were caught in the sea. Here, relatives have the custom of exchanging gifts during the New Year, so Zhang's mother did not refuse, but caught two chickens, two ducks and a large basket of vegetables for Li Yongfu.
When Li Yongfu returned home, Lu Cui was speechless when she saw those things. She muttered, "I went there to return the gift, but now I can't pay it back."
Here, Zhang's mother had just seen Li Yongfu off when Li Yongshou also came over. He worked at a construction site and wasn't as good at cooking seafood as Li Yongfu, so he brought two bags of tea for Zhang's mother.
Zhang's mother thought about the bungalows being built at the end of the village, so she asked Zhang Wanwan to take him over to have a look. Because the purpose of building the houses this time was for guarding, Li Yongshou specially chose a place with relatively high terrain and marked out a range. "Let's go over here. From here you can have a clear view of the entire field. Then build a row of houses, four rooms. Two will be used as bedrooms, one will be used as a kitchen, and one will be a bathroom. This way, your daily life won't be a problem. Over there, I'll choose a place for you to build a bathroom. It won't be a big problem. It should be done within a month."
With Li Yongshou's guarantee, Zhang Wanwan didn't care anymore. Li Yongshou would always help her to handle things anyway, so she didn't have to worry about it at all.
The two returned to the Zhang family's old house. Zhang's mother prepared the same New Year gift for Li Yongshou and hung it directly on Li Yongshou's motorcycle.
After sending the people away, the family started to get busy with the evening worship of the God of Heaven. Now that life was better, Zhang's father planned to celebrate it in a lively manner. He also asked Zhang Baiyan to bring back a lot of fireworks and firecrackers. The one used for the worship was also a big pig's head, which was several levels higher than last year.
That night, the fireworks outside the Zhang family's old house never stopped and continued until late at night.
The next day, Zhang Wanwan, who rarely had to work, slept in as a way to vent, and didn't get up until about 2 p.m. When she left the room, she saw three little puppies chasing and playing in the yard. Her eyes lit up immediately, "How cute! Where did they come from?"
Zhang's mother came out of the kitchen and saw her in pajamas with her hair loose. She scolded her with a smile, "Why do you care where she came from? Go brush your teeth and wash your face. You've only just woken up now and I don't know if you're a reincarnated pig."
Zhang Wanwan: “.”
When Zhang's father came back in the evening, he saw Zhang Wanwan playing with three puppies. His sullen face finally warmed up a little, and he laughed, "Girl likes puppies very much?"
Zhang Wanwan looked up and gave her father a bright smile, "I love them! They are so cute!"
"As long as you like it!" Zhang's father sighed, took a small stool and sat next to Zhang Wanwan to watch her play.
Zhang Wanwan immediately noticed something was wrong and turned around to ask in confusion, "Dad, what's wrong? Are you unhappy on New Year's Day?"
"Ah!" Father Zhang sighed and said depressedly: "Wasn't I anxious about your brother's marriage before? I was so envious when I heard that a relative of ours married a Vietnamese daughter-in-law, and I wanted to find one for your brother. Later, I didn't mention it after you talked a lot. But I didn't take it seriously, thinking that the Vietnamese daughter-in-law I saw before was pretty good, and she wouldn't be the kind of person you said.
Today I had a rare opportunity to go to the village and sit down. I realized that the Vietnamese wife was really a piece of shit! She gave birth to a son a while ago, and her parents-in-law took good care of her. But after the confinement period, she started to find fault with them. She held the child all day and did nothing. Sometimes she complained about back pain, sometimes she felt uncomfortable here and there, and she even went to tell her husband that her parents-in-law didn't know how to take care of the child and that it would affect the child's growth at home.
What she meant was that she wanted her parents-in-law to move out and live somewhere else. They only have one house, where would the elderly live? They still have a son who is not married yet! I heard that there have been several fights now. The woman was restrained at the beginning, but now she is shameless. The villagers can't stand it and say a few words to her, but she can scold them so sharply that they can't speak. The family still lives together now, but the relationship is tense. They quarrel and throw things at any time. It's so ugly!
I am really glad now that I didn't blindly look for a Vietnamese wife for your brother. This is too scary. It looks like our good family is about to fall apart."
Zhang Wanwan knew this would be the outcome. She continued to play with the three puppies calmly and reminded Zhang's father, "Dad, you'd better not get involved in other people's affairs. It's said that even a judge can hardly judge family affairs, let alone outsiders like us. If the man has the guts to divorce, the child will most likely be awarded to him. If he chooses a Vietnamese wife, then my cousin and his family will lose a son. In short, there is no way to have it both ways. Don't get involved, or you'll be blamed."
Father Zhang hesitated and said nothing.
Zhang Wanwan didn't care. He only had the Spring Festival to worry about other people's affairs. Once the Spring Festival was over and things became busy, he wouldn't have the time to ask more questions even if he wanted to.
On the second day of the first lunar month, the family rode two electric bikes to Li Yongfu's home.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard laughter and chatter inside.
Li Meili and her family haven't arrived yet, but Li Yongshou and his family are also here.
