The next day, Dalang found an excuse and asked my mother-in-law to take me to the commune to buy things. While she was grabbing things inside, I secretly went to the health center and took some of the largest-sized family planning supplies.
I told the person who distributed the family planning supplies that our brigade was far away and it was rare for us to come to the commune, so we might as well get more. If our relatives and friends at home needed them, they wouldn't have to make a special trip to the commune.
When the clerk heard this, he thought, this is what happened, and he simply gave me a lot of them, both big and small.
No, why would you give me such a small one? My Dalang can't use it.
In line with the principle of not wasting, I accepted them all.
After receiving the family planning supplies, I went to the state-owned restaurant and bought two big buns. Dalang asked my mother-in-law for the money before I left.
My Dalang is very honest. He always hands over all the money he says he will hand it over. However, he is the only one in the family who can afford to deduct money from my mother-in-law.
The second brother's family was honest and could not make any money, so they looked so pitiful. Fortunately, it was not the second brother that I fell in love with in the first place.
The third brother is smart and a cunning one. He often hides some money and doesn't hand it over to his wife and children to make delicious food.
I saw it but I just pretended I didn’t see it. What’s wrong with someone caring about his wife and children?
Of course, I don’t think there is anything wrong with my Dalang asking for money from my mother-in-law. After all, most of the work points in this family are earned by my Dalang.
The year Xiaoli was born, I heard that the fourth son was promoted in the army and started sending his allowance home every month. My mother-in-law seemed like a different person, praising the fourth son for his filial piety to everyone she met.
She said that all the allowance from the army was used to buy her delicious food and clothes, and she got angry with her when she refused to buy them. She also boasted everywhere that her eldest son was filial.
I just don’t understand. When the fourth child was at home, she clearly didn’t treat him as her own son. Now that he just sends some allowance, does that mean he is her favorite son?
Whenever I have questions that I don’t understand, I will ask my husband Dalang in bed in the middle of the night. After all, what we whisper to each other won’t be spread out.
"Da Lang, what's wrong with mom?" I asked him while putting birth control products on him. "Did you see mom give birth to the fourth child? Could it be that dad brought the fourth child back from outside?"
Dalang was obviously confused by my question. He didn't remember anything about his childhood. "How is that possible? Wife? If the fourth child was really brought back by my father from outside, would my mother be willing to raise him? I guess my mother must have suffered a lot when she gave birth to the fourth child, so she is not close to him. Look, the fourth child has sent his allowance back now, and my mother praises him like a flower."
That's true.
My mother-in-law is the kind of person who can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. If the fourth child was really brought back from outside by my father-in-law, she would definitely make a big fuss and it would be impossible for the fourth child to be kept at home.
Ever since I married into the Pei family, my mother-in-law has been very polite to me, and my husband has been very loving to me, especially after I went to get family planning products, he wanted to make up for all the love he had not shown me before.
Sometimes when I get up in the morning to make breakfast, my back and waist ache. This man seems to have no idea of tiredness.
Isn't it said that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death? Why does my husband seem to be insensitive to tiredness?
It's really infuriating.
I said I disliked him as if I had endless energy, but I really enjoyed the sexual happiness.
Although it is really tiring sometimes.
As the kids at home grow up day by day, I feel like my mother-in-law is becoming more and more stingy.
Logically speaking, my eldest son is very capable and can get two full work points or even more. The second son can also get full work points. Although the third son often doesn't like to work, it is not a problem for him to get six or seven work points a day.
In addition, my sisters-in-law and I also had to work. Except for my third brother's wife, who basically got four to six work points each time, my second brother's wife and I could get at least seven centimeters.
When you add it up, it’s quite a lot, plus there’s the allowance that the fourth child sends back every month.
At first it was more than 20 yuan, and then he seemed to have upgraded and started sending back more than 30 yuan.
In this case, our family should be better off than most families in the brigade, but my mother-in-law can't even provide enough food for the adults and children in the family.
Of course, my son Dalang is an exception. He is the only one in the family who can eat enough. He often asks my mother-in-law for some food to share with me and our three children.
Occasionally, the extra ones are shared among the second and third children.
