Chapter 97 The wicked will be punished by the wicked.
Jiang Haibing sighed: "Where? Apart from the money Yanfen took with her when she left, which made her feel bad, she simply felt that she was missing a good laborer."
How easy is Jiang Yanfen to be bossed around?
After finishing her work at the factory, she also had to do the housework.
The only thing she didn't have to do was buy groceries, because her aunt was in charge of the money.
The rest of the work, such as cooking, wiping tables, sweeping floors, and even washing the whole family's clothes, falls to Jiang Yanfen.
Jiang Haiqiang already has two children, but Jiang Yanfen still washes all the clothes for the family of four.
Jiang Haisheng's wife followed her sister-in-law's example and threw the clothes to Jiang Yanfen as well.
Jiang Yanfen objected, feeling that since they were already married, why should she still have to wash their clothes?
In particular, Jiang Yanfen even washed the underwear of Jiang Haiqiang and his wife.
That's going too far.
Even if brothers and sisters are very close, sisters shouldn't be allowed to wash such intimate clothing, especially the clothes of married brothers and their spouses.
As a result, Aunt Jiang said that Jiang Yanfen was heartless, saying that it was just a few pieces of clothing and what was wrong with washing them?
He said that the clothes his eldest daughter-in-law no longer wore were all given to Jiang Yanfen, so that she would remember her sister-in-law's kindness.
They said they'd help her out now so that if her in-laws treated her badly after she got married, her brothers could stand up for her.
As for herself, she simply washed her own and Uncle Jiang's underwear.
They claimed that they were getting old and had back pain, so they couldn't bend over to wash clothes for long periods of time.
Several members of Uncle Jiang's family have jobs, earning several hundred yuan a month, but she is reluctant to buy a washing machine, saying that washing machines don't clean as well as hand washing.
If a mother can't do the housework, she has to let her daughter do it.
To put it simply, the harmony and happiness of Uncle Jiang's family is built on Jiang Yanfen's hard work and sacrifice.
And everyone took her efforts for granted.
As a result, Jiang Yanfen quit, and all the work fell to Jiang's aunt.
She was hardworking when she was young, but since Jiang Yanfen started working, she has had an easier time for more than ten years.
Taking on so many chores at home all at once left her exhausted every day, unable to straighten her back or catch her breath.
She wanted to buy a washing machine to replace hand washing, but this time it was everyone else's turn to object.
They still use the same reason that washing machines don't clean as well as hand washing.
Besides, everyone gets impatient and says, "I'm already exhausted from work every day, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet when I get home?"
Jiang Jianni laughed out loud: "What do you call this? 'You reap what you sow'? 'The wicked will be punished by the wicked'? It's truly a blessing from heaven! Auntie can finally enjoy the same treatment as Sister Yanfen."
She couldn't even maintain her reputation as a good mother-in-law and a good daughter-in-law anymore.
Lu Xiangyang was completely exasperated: "Are all the relationships in your family this complicated?"
Jiang Jianni didn't take it to heart: "Any place with lots of people is a world of its own."
"Every family has its share of trivial matters and petty squabbles."
"What's so special about this?"
She glanced at Jiang Haibing: "The only one in my family who isn't married yet is my eldest brother. Once he gets married, and then Haiyang gets married in the future, things will look good, but there will still be conflicts."
Jiang Haibing was completely taken aback: "No, why are you saying this to me out of the blue?"
What have I done to offend you?
Jiang Jianni looked at Jiang Haibing with a grin: "I just wanted to ask you when you're going to settle down."
Jiang Haibing chuckled: "I have no plans to get married in this lifetime."
"Why get married when you haven't even made any money yet?"
"No."
Jiang Jianni suddenly asked, "Really? What about your girlfriend who looks like a celebrity? You've been dating her for over half a year, right? That's a really long record. When are you planning to marry her?"
Jiang Haibing looked like he'd seen a ghost and jumped to the side: "How did you know!"
"No. You've been following me?"
Jiang Jianni said with a mysterious air, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
Lu Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Haibing said coldly, his voice trembling with anger: "You two, you two, humph, I have nothing to say to you two."
Jiang Jianni kindly said, "Brother, I'm just reminding you out of kindness, since you're my older brother."
Good girls are rare, so if you meet one, grab her while you can, or you'll regret it later.
That girl didn't look like the type to obediently listen to others.
Jiang Haibing, feeling agitated, said, "Just mind your own business."
He nudged Lu Xiangyang: "Brother, isn't it annoying that your wife is so nosy?"
Lu Xiangyang smiled slightly: "How can you consider it a trivial matter when it comes to your own brothers?"
Jiang Haibing choked for a moment, then said sullenly, "Fine, you two are a couple, I'll admit defeat, okay?"
The three of them went home laughing and joking. When they got to the door, Jiang Jianni suddenly remembered something: "Oh no, I forgot to take the red envelope my aunt gave me. It's still on their table."
Lu Xiangyang: "I didn't take it either."
He put it on the table too.
Jiang Jianni sighed, "It's rare for my aunt to be so generous. I'd like to see how much money she has."
Jiang Haibing: "Don't even think about it. It'll only be one yuan at most. This is only because of the new son-in-law."
"When I went to their house for Chinese New Year this year, I didn't get any lucky money. Haiyang and Yanni only got one cent each."
"That red envelope might be empty, without a single penny."
According to their custom, as long as you don't get married, your elders will continue to give you lucky money during Chinese New Year visits.
As a result, when we visited relatives for the New Year this year, Aunt Jiang said that Haibing had already started working, so she wouldn't give him any lucky money. She only gave it to Jiang Haiyang and Jiang Yanni, who were still in school.
The limit has also been reduced from 50 cents last year to 10 cents.
Jiang Jianni shook her head: "It would be better not to give it to them at all."
That's how Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang are; they're so concerned with saving face that they suffer for it.
In the third year of junior high school, Jiang Yanni and Lu Xiangyang went to Grandpa Yang's house with their parents, along with Jiang Haibing, Jiang Haiyang, and Jiang Yanni.
Jiang Haibing sighed, "I said I'd come earlier, but my mom wouldn't let me. She said I'm not married and I should just stay with them."
Jiang Yanni: "It would be so much more fun if we all went together, big brother, don't you want to join us?"
Jiang Haibing patted her head gently and said, "Be good, if no one is talking to you, just shut up and don't talk."
Jiang Yanni glared at him fiercely.
The family of seven arrived at Grandpa Yang's house, where Aunt Yang's husband had already set up the stove and was preparing to cook.
She smiled especially brightly when she saw them: "Big sister, big brother-in-law, you've arrived?"
"Hey, our new son-in-law is really something else."
"Please come inside quickly."
"Second sister and the others are waiting for you."
Yang Yuemei was a little surprised: "Oh? Yuezhi and the others are here too?"
Yang Xiuzhi said with a smile: "My second sister Xiuhong and Hongying said that this is the first time our new son-in-law has come to visit us this year. He is also the first new son-in-law in our family. They must be home."
"That's why I didn't come yesterday, and I made a special trip to come with you all today."
"It's cold outside, you should go inside quickly."
Hearing the loud conversation inside, Jiang Jianni couldn't help but ask, "What good thing happened to my second aunt's husband? He sounds very happy."
