"Guodong, stop looking and eat." Mother Zhang came into the living room carrying dishes.
She placed hot and sour potato shreds and minced pork and tofu on the table, looked at Lam Kwok Tung and complained, "You said you had nothing to do at home, but you didn't even go to the kitchen to help me cook. A grown man shouldn't be lazy."
She felt that Lin Guodong was not a good son-in-law. It was fine if he had to go to work normally, but now he took a day off and stayed at home, doing nothing.
He didn't even go to the kitchen to help his mother-in-law when he saw her cooking, nor did he go to the kitchen to serve the food when it was ready. He just waited for his elder to bring the food to the table for him to eat.
It's really too unfilial.
Lin Guodong looked at the two dishes on the table, curled his lips unhappily and said, "Mom, when you were cooking at home, my father-in-law came into the kitchen to help you?"
He could clearly feel these days that his mother-in-law's attitude towards him had changed. She no longer called him a good son-in-law, but instead always talked about him.
The reason for her change was simply because he didn't recognize his relatives when he went to the Li family.
"..." Mother Zhang choked, then added, "This is different."
Lin Guodong: "What's the difference? Does that mean my father-in-law is not a man?"
Zhang's mother: "..."
"Lin Guodong, what did you say to my mother?" Zhang Jiao walked out of the bedroom, holding the door frame, with her other hand holding a cushion with a big round hole in the middle.
This cushion was made by her herself. With it, her tailbone feels much better when she sits.
Mother Zhang looked at Zhang Jiao and said, "Jiaojiao, your man is really lazy. He stays at home with nothing to do and doesn't even bother to help me in the kitchen. I told him that a grown man shouldn't be lazy, but he still mentioned your dad."
Zhang Jiao frowned and glanced at Lin Guodong. She also felt that Lin Guodong was very lazy. Not only was he lazy, but Lin Yongnian was also lazy.
Every time they ate, they would sit like a master and would not move until she brought the food to the table and called them to eat.
However, her father and her two brothers are actually the same when they are at home.
Maybe all men in this world are like this.
Lin Guodong was very unhappy about what he said, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.
"Guodong, please go to the kitchen and bring the meal over." Zhang Jiao said to Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong sat down on the stool and said, "If you want to go, you go. I won't go."
The mother-in-law came to our house to take care of Zhang Jiao, watch the children and cook. She was paid 20 yuan for half a month, and 30 yuan for living expenses!
But she only had two dishes for every meal with such a large living allowance, and there was not always meat, and even when there was meat, it was not good quality.
Out of thirty dollars, she could save at least twenty.
She stayed at the Lin family for more than ten days and only earned ten yuan from them. Why should he help her with work?
No, it's not ten yuan, it's three hundred and ten yuan. His father gave it to Zhang Jiao as a betrothal gift, and she even took three hundred and thirty yuan away.
"Look..." Zhang's mother pointed at Lin Guodong.
Looking at Lin Guodong's expression, Zhang Jiao knew that if she continued talking, he would definitely get angry.
She said to her mother, "Guodong has this temper. Mom, don't blame him. Hurry up and bring the meal over, or it will get cold."
Mother Zhang drooped her lips and glared at Zhang Jiao. This was how her daughter was after she got married. No matter how good her parents were to her when she was a girl at home, once she became someone else's daughter-in-law, she would start to turn her elbows against them.
"Oh..." Mother Zhang sighed, shook her head and went to the kitchen to serve food.
Zhang Jiao stood at the door and called Junjun back from playing in the yard.
Then he looked at Lam Kwok Tung and said, "That's my mother, can't you be nicer to her?"
Lin Guodong snorted coldly, "She comes to take care of you for half a month's salary of 120, 130 for living expenses, and 300 yuan in gifts, and every day she gives us this to eat..." He pointed at the food on the table, "Calculate how much money she earns in our family. Even with her like this, am I not treating her well enough?"
Zhang Jiao: “…”
Lin Guodong almost said that her mother came to the Lin family to make money.
Zhang's mother brought the rice from the kitchen. The bowl felt particularly heavy when it was placed in front of Lin Guodong.
Lin Guodong looked at her without saying a word. Without waiting for her to pick up her chopsticks, he picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Mother Zhang glanced at Lin Guodong and rolled her eyes. She looked at her daughter Zhang Jiao and said, "I've been in your Lin family for almost ten days. We agreed that I would take care of you for half a month, and I would be back on Sunday."
Zhang Jiao frowned when she heard this and said, "But my tailbone hasn't healed yet."
Mother Zhang glanced at her butt and said, "I think you're almost done. You should do less work in the back and lie down more."
"We agreed on two weeks, and it's almost time now. If I don't go back, your brother and sister-in-law will have something to say."
"That's settled. I'll be back this Sunday."
Zhang Jiao looked at her mother, then at Lam Kwok Tung who was concentrating on eating, and her shoulders slumped.
When her mother was still around, she could do the laundry, cook, clean, take care of her, and even help her go to the toilet. If her mother passed away, she really didn't know what to do.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Lin Yongnian returned home with his hands behind his back after get off work. As soon as he reached the gate of the compound, he saw Lin Jianshe.
He was startled at first, then said with a dark face: "Why did you come back? Didn't you say before that you wouldn't come back even if eight people carried you in a sedan chair?"
Lin Jianshe rolled his eyes. "Where am I going back to? Can I even enter your house?"
Lin Yongnian: “…”
This bastard is really infuriating.
Lin Jianshe put his hands in his pockets and looked at Lin Yongnian nonchalantly and said, "I came here to ask you something. I heard from people in the alley that my mother's biological father is a commander, and my brother is a corps commander..."
Hearing Lin Jianshe say this, Lin Yongnian sneered.
"Oh……"
"Don't laugh." Lin Jianshe frowned and said, "I heard that Lin Guodong went to recognize his relatives. They are my grandfather and uncle. I must go and recognize them too."
"Where is my public security? Tell me." Lin Jianshe scratched the back of his head.
Lin Yongnian: "Why don't you ask your mother?"
Lin Jianshe: "...If my mom could tell me, I would definitely go ask her. Why would I need to ask you guys?"
He has the worst relationship with his mother. His mother kept the matter of recognizing his relatives a secret from him. It was obvious that she didn't want him to know, nor did she want him to recognize his grandfather and uncle.
If he went to his mother, she would definitely not tell him, and might even slap him in the face.
He doesn't have any shame, so why should he get slapped in the face?
"Then do you think that if you go there, they will recognize you?" Lin Yongnian asked with a sneer.
Lin Jianshe said impatiently, "Whether my grandfather and uncle recognize me is my business and has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me the address."
His mother must have said a lot of bad things about him in front of his grandfather and uncles, but as long as he has a better attitude and speaks sweetly, they may not necessarily disown him. After all, they are still related by blood.
Lin Jianshe thought that he was still good-looking, and his father-in-law and uncle were not necessarily as unreasonable as his mother.
It just so happened that he and Mengya were both unemployed, so if they became relatives, maybe his father-in-law and uncle could arrange good jobs for them.
Lin Yongnian smiled and shook his head, "I don't know the address of the Li family."
Lin Jianshe naturally didn't believe it, "You don't know, or do you want Lin Guodong to monopolize the benefits of the Li family?"
