Chapter 51 Filial Piety Should Wait for Rewards



Lin Yongnian's face suddenly became very ugly, and his hands holding the dirty clothes froze in embarrassment.

Lin Jianshe looked at his father, then at his wife who looked aggrieved and unhappy, and chose to protect her, "Dad, Qinqin has only been married into our family for a short time, and you let her wash your clothes?"

Lin Yongnian: "As a daughter-in-law, what's wrong with her doing laundry for her father-in-law?"

What daughter-in-law doesn't serve her parents-in-law?

When I married Li Shuping, although I didn't live with my parents, whenever I returned to my hometown in the countryside during the holidays, she, as the daughter-in-law, would do the cooking, washing and cleaning.

"Then why don't you let your sister-in-law wash it for you?" Lin Jianshe asked.

Lin Guodong rolled his eyes and said directly: "Dad, put the clothes here and let Zhang Jiao wash them for you after dinner."

Lin Yongnian threw the dirty clothes back into the laundry basket, feeling extremely disappointed with Lin Jianshe and Liu Qin.

"This, plus the three turns and one ring, is almost two thousand yuan to marry my daughter-in-law!"

Liu Qin was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm marrying into your family to be Lin Jianshe's wife, not to be your servant."

"Just because I asked you to wash a few dirty clothes, they treat you as a servant? Go around the compound and ask which daughter-in-law has never washed clothes for her parents-in-law."

"Then they are willing to be lowly, but Liu Qin is not that kind of person." After saying that, Liu Qin went back to the room angrily.

"..." Lin Yongnian was so angry that he was speechless.

"Lin Jianshe, I'm going to marry you a good wife!"

Lin Jianshe didn't say anything, he got up and went into the house to coax his wife.

Lin Yongnian sat on a stool and pointed at the bedroom door of Lin Jianshe and his wife, "Look at your brother. He only has eyes for this daughter-in-law. If I had known earlier..."

If I had known this earlier, I would have opposed it together with Li Shuping and not allowed the second son to marry Liu Qin.

When Li Shuping confronted him, Lin Yongnian stood on Lin Jianshe's side and said that Li Shuping was looking down on others. It was a different era now, and there was no need to care about being well-matched.

Lin Guodong shook his head. He looked down upon the second brother's henpecked look.

What do you do after you marry a wife?

That means she should raise children for you men and serve you, but the second brother treats Liu Qin like a princess and is reluctant to even let her wash two pieces of dirty clothes for dad. He is really heartless.

"Don't worry, Dad. 놖 will never be like the second brother, and Zhang Jiao will never be like that guy."

Lin Yongnian nodded, looked at his eldest son and thought, he would have to rely on the eldest and his wife for support in the future, the second son was a henpecked slave and could not be relied on, so he had to be nicer to the eldest and his wife.

Liu Qin didn't come to dinner that night, and Lin Jianshe picked up some food for her and brought it into the house.

"Sister-in-law, is your stir-fried shredded potatoes with meat half an ounce?" Lin Jianshe was looking for the meat in the shredded potatoes.

"Why not? But I bought two taels of meat." Zhang Jiao lied without blinking.

Lin Jianshe laughed, "This is really hard to believe."

Lin Guodong: "If your sister-in-law doesn't have enough meat for cooking, then ask your Liu Qin to buy more meat for cooking tomorrow."

I don't believe how much more meat Liu Qin can buy tomorrow.

Lin Jianshe picked up a piece of shredded potato with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. Why did Wang Jiaqinqin buy more meat for frying?

Each of them took two yuan for food expenses, but the eldest sister-in-law prepared the food so badly that there was no meat in the stir-fried meat with shredded potatoes in order to save some for herself.

When it's Wang's Qinqin's turn, if she prepares better meals than her sister-in-law and spends more on food, won't we two be at a disadvantage?

"Zhang Jiao, after you finish washing the dishes, wash dad's dirty clothes. It's been windy these nights, so it should be dry after a night of wind." Lin Guodong said to his wife.

Zhang Jiao frowned. She was cooking and washing dishes, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn to wash the clothes.

Liu Qin is also a daughter-in-law, why should she wash her father-in-law's dirty clothes?

Is it because she is the eldest daughter-in-law?

"You can help wash the clothes for the eldest daughter-in-law in the future. Don't worry, Dad won't let you wash them for nothing. I'll give you 10 yuan every month."

"You won't be able to wash your clothes very often this month, so I'll give you two dollars first." Lin Yongnian took out two dollars from his pocket and put them in front of Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up when she saw the money, and she quickly reached out to take it, "Dad, we are all family, it's only right for me to wash your clothes, why should I pay you."

When Liu Qin heard the word "money", she walked to the door with her bowl in her hand and listened.

Lin Yongnian deliberately raised his voice and said, "Dad, you know you are a filial son, and filial sons should be rewarded."

Liu Qin clenched her chopsticks tightly, knowing that her father-in-law was speaking to her.

This old man is so abominable. He didn't ask for money when he asked himself to wash clothes, but paid Zhang Jiao when he asked her to wash clothes.

You are so biased that it reaches your armpits.

"Dad, this is too unfair." Lin Jianshe put the bowl on the table, "You didn't ask for money when you asked Qinqin to wash your clothes just now, but now you only give sister-in-law 10 yuan a month!"

꾉 dollars!

Liu Qin clenched her buttocks in the bedroom. How many times can the old man change his clothes in a month? I only get one dollar for washing clothes for you a few times. It's too easy to make money.

For Liu Qin, who only earns 18 yuan a month, 10 yuan is not a small amount.

Lin Yongnian: "She herself said she doesn't want to be a servant for me, and she doesn't want to wash my clothes. She wants to wash my clothes so that I can see her filial piety. As her father-in-law, I will naturally not let her wash my clothes for nothing."

Unfortunately, she did not pass the test herself.

"Sister-in-law didn't agree either!" Lin Jianshe pointed at Zhang Jiao.

Lin Yongnian sneered: "Your sister-in-law said in the morning that she would wash the dishes for you when she got home from work. You saw that she was going to cook, and it was already very late when she finished washing the dishes after dinner, so you wanted Liu Qin to wash them. Who knew..."

"..." Lin Jianshe was speechless now.

At night, Liu Qin dragged Lin Jianshe to complain about Lin Yongnian again, and she kept saying some biased things over and over again.

The next day, Lin Yongnian put on his clean but not quite dry work clothes, and told everyone he met that his eldest daughter-in-law was filial and took the initiative to help wash clothes.

Anning Street Subdistrict Office

"Director Zhao, I want to report Li Shuping from Room 23 in our courtyard."

"What do you want to report her for?" Zhao Youqin put down the newspaper in her hand and frowned as she looked at the female comrade standing in front of her desk.

She had heard about it from reports a few years ago, so now she feels irrational disgust when she hears these two words.

"We must report her for setting up a stall to do business and engaging in capitalism." The reporter Liu Mingxiang clenched his fists and shouted.

Why is it that Li Shuping, a divorced old woman, has such a good business and makes so much money by setting up a stall?

She used the money she earned to perm her hair and buy new clothes for her own children, and the family always had good food.

Her husband worked hard and only earned 22 yuan a month. She was very frugal every month and couldn't afford to buy a new piece of clothing for half a year. She was often accused of spending money indiscriminately by her husband and was beaten.

She just couldn't stand to see Li Shuping's proud look after making money, so she insisted on reporting her, so that she could no longer run her dumpling stall and would never be proud again.
