Chapter 210 No comparison, no harm

Deng Changyuan and Deng Yuntai have been childhood friends, so they naturally know how Jiugong, as a father, treats his daughter-in-law. Compared with Jiugong, some of his parents' practices are really hard to describe.

This time his wife went to the county town to give birth to a child, and he spent the money he had earned with great difficulty. He did not expect that his sister-in-law and parents would have such an attitude, openly and secretly accusing his wife of spending money recklessly, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Yes, they haven’t separated yet, and the money he earns also belongs to this big family.

But he didn't really throw the money away. Giving birth in the county town was related to the safety of his wife and child, so it was very necessary.

In order to support his wife to give birth in the county town, Yuntai and his wife not only provided his wife and his parents-in-law with a place to live, but also went to the county town in person to help take care of them. It can be said that they contributed both money and effort.

In contrast, his parents and his elder brother and his wife were accusing his wife of spending money recklessly, which really disappointed him.

This was the main reason why he, who never said harsh words in front of his parents, directly threatened to separate from the family and live alone.

I hope his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law don't go too far, so that the family can live together for a few more years. If they don't listen to advice and insist on saying things that they shouldn't say in front of his wife, then don't blame him for being unfilial. Please ask Jiugong to help divide the family and live separately.

With his current income, if he were to separate from the family and live on his own, I wonder how good his life would be!

Ou Guohua naturally didn't know that when she was waiting to give birth in the county town, her husband had said harsh words to his family because of her. Her life in the county town these days had greatly broadened her horizons and made her truly realize the difference between city people and country people.

There is feces and urine everywhere in the village. It is normal for rural children to defecate directly at the doorstep of their homes. If the house is close to a river or stream, the children will shovel the feces into the river or stream after they finish defecating. If it is not close to a river or stream, the dogs will be called back to eat the feces.

In later generations, whether they are city dwellers or rural people, they have probably never seen a dog eating shit. But in rural areas of this era, dogs eating shit is a basic practice and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

In addition to human feces, there is also chicken and duck feces. In rural areas, most chickens and ducks are free-range, so there is naturally chicken and duck feces everywhere in front of and behind the houses. If you don't keep your eyes on the road when walking, you will definitely get bitten.

It would be okay if you stepped on a dry one, but it would be disgusting if you stepped on a fresh one.

The county town is clean everywhere, especially last month was the first "National Civility and Courtesy Month" in our country. The garbage in the entire county town was cleaned up, and even the sanitary dead corners were cleaned up one by one. It looked really comfortable.

This is just a comparison of the sanitary levels. As for comparisons in other aspects, rural areas and county towns are not on the same level.

Ou Guohua said to her little sister with emotion: "Sister Ping, life in this county town is indeed a hundred times more comfortable than in the village. No wonder so many people try every means to become city dwellers. I have only lived here for a few days and I am reluctant to go back."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Don't worry. Once my restaurant opens and I'm familiar with the county, I'll help you find a business that's suitable for you and Afang. Then you can come to the county and keep me company."

Ou Guohua said: "Then I will wait for your good news. Being able to live in the county town and do anything is better than living in the village!"

Zhang Xiuping said, "Don't think too much about it now. Wait until the baby is born and then raise it until it is weaned. Otherwise, you won't be able to do any business with the baby."

Speaking of taking care of the child, Ou Guohua felt a little annoyed. She sighed and said, "I don't know if my parents-in-law will be willing to help take care of the child. If they don't, I'll have to take care of the child myself, and it will be difficult to do business in the county town."

Zhang Xiuping thought of what happened to her cousin Bu Dafang and said, "If your parents-in-law are unwilling to help take care of the child, then you can ask your parents on your mother's side to help. Then you can legitimately give your parents a sum of money every month. It can be said that you are killing two birds with one stone."

Ou Guohua's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Sister Ping, you still have a solution, let's do it this way."

…

Ou Guohua gave birth on the morning of the seventh day of the fourth lunar month. She went to the maternal and child health care center until around seven in the evening, when she gave birth to a baby girl.

The birth of their granddaughter made Ou's father and mother, who had become grandparents, very happy, but Ou Guohua, the mother, still felt a little regretful. For rural people, not having a son as the first child is always an incomplete dream.

After all, they are sisters who grew up together. Zhang Xiuping saw what Ou Guohua was thinking and said, "Ahua, it's actually good to have a daughter. You see, I gave birth to a daughter. In the future, they can also grow up together like us.

If you had given birth to a son, they might not be able to play together. From this point of view, it is actually a good thing, because it can continue our sisterhood."

Ou Guohua had just given birth and her face looked a little pale. She smiled and said, "Sister Ping, you are really good at comforting people. In fact, I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl, but you know the environment in the village. My parents-in-law are not as open-minded as Jiugong. I came to the county town to give birth this time, and I don't know if they said anything about me behind my back!

If I give birth to a daughter and bring her back home, I’m afraid they will say something unpleasant to me.”

Zhang Xiuping frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Ou Guohua sighed, "I hope I'm overthinking this, but based on my understanding of my parents-in-law, there is a certain chance that this may happen."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhang Xiuping thought for a moment and said, "How about this, when we go back tomorrow, Afang and I will take turns to go to your house to accompany you. I believe that with the two of us here, your parents-in-law will definitely not dare to say anything weird to you."

Ou Guohua said: "That is only a temporary solution, not a permanent solution."

Zhang Xiuping said, "Why don't you go back and tell your A Yuan to tell his parents in advance, so that he won't say anything that would hurt the harmony of the family."

Ou Guohua shook her head and said, "Forget it, this is just my own speculation. After all, the incident has not happened yet. If I tell my Yuan about this, it will seem like I am deliberately trying to stir up trouble. I'd better stay the same and see if my parents-in-law will say anything unpleasant first!"

Zhang Xiuping nodded and said, "Alright, let's wait and see. Anyway, I will go there to accompany you every day. If you need my help, just tell me."

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Sister Ping, come and see if this child looks more like me or her father?"

"Of course it looks more like you. Look at this nose, this mouth, and these little hands. They are exactly the same as yours."

"Really? Let me see..."
