Chapter 55: Stop Sowing Dissension

"I can do it, I definitely can do it!" Wang Silan is now full of energy, and her words and actions are full of confidence that is completely different from before.

This time Wang Silan and Hang Jingshu came empty-handed, and Hang Jinghua thought that her younger sister had lost her job and came to borrow money.

Unexpectedly, not only did I not have to borrow money, I even found myself a relatively easy job.

Since the family split up and a daughter was born, the old woman from the Zhao family has never shown up, let alone taken care of her during the confinement period.

Not even an egg was delivered.

She even said all kinds of nonsense in front of her neighbors: "If a girl doesn't live up to her promise, my son will have no offspring, and I should still serve her? You're just dreaming!"

Hang Jinghua, who was out feeding the chickens, heard this.

Since then, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law has officially fallen out. Although Zhao Donglai usually earns a lot of money as a carpenter, no one would think that the money is too much.

Fortunately, Wang Silan knew that her daughter was in confinement after giving birth. Even though she could not come to take care of her every day, she would come every three to five days to bring her meals and help wash diapers.

Hang Jinghua herself is very clever and deft, so weaving small ornaments and sewing small things are no problem for her, especially since she has a sewing machine at home, which is just right for her to do these kinds of work.

Wang Silan brought scraps of cloth, wool and other things today, which made it easy to weave the small tomatoes. After more than half an hour, a palm-sized orange-red small tomatoes appeared.

There are few ready-made clothes for sale these days. Many families buy cloth and make their own clothes. Girls have to learn needlework from a young age.

These simple stitches are easy to learn and do at a glance.

The knitted small pendants paired with the keychains look delicate, cute and festive. Wang Silan dares to say that the things she makes are unique in the whole Fengcheng.

Seeing is believing. Hang Jinghua didn't hesitate for too long and agreed: "Okay! I'll go back and weave it according to your drawing."

The little baby was still sleeping soundly on the kang. Wang Silan went over to look at the little guy's soft face, and the kindness in her eyes almost overflowed.

After the visit, Wang Silan took the little girl out and held down Hang Jinghua who wanted to send her out: "You should stay at home and don't bend over and get blown by the wind after the confinement period!"

Watching the figures of his mother and sister gradually moving away, Hang Jinghua put away the moisture in his eyes and tidied up the things on the kang.

As a result, she found three large knots pressed under the bag of yarn.

Suddenly, she couldn't hold back her tears. Hang Jinghua's shoulders trembled slightly. She held the money in her hand and let the tears fall silently like beads that had broken off the string...

Zhao Donglai just returned to the village from the county town at night. Before he reached home, he saw his mother waiting for him at the intersection.

Feeling irritated for no reason, Zhao Donglai said helplessly, "Mom, what are you doing standing here?"

Every time my mother has something against my daughter-in-law, she would wait for her at the entrance of the village, and then she would complain and instigate her endlessly.

Today even more so.

Old Mrs. Zhao's face was full of fat, and her triangular eyes were shining: "Today your mother-in-law brought your sister-in-law here. I don't know what messy things they took. I guess they came to borrow money."

Everyone knows that Hang Heini is a hypocritical girl. Maybe she is not satisfied with the job she found in the city and wants to come here to borrow money to repeat her studies!

Zhao Donglai took a big job this time, working as a carpenter in a newly opened hotel in the county town, and could earn more than two hundred yuan a month.

Zhao Donglai has always been very filial to his mother-in-law and never slacked off during the New Year holidays. Naturally, he didn't like what his mother said.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Jing Hua is not a loose person, and my mother-in-law has always helped us without asking for money."

Mrs. Zhao obviously didn't listen to her son's words, and she kept chattering: "Your sister-in-law is not a good person either. Donglai, if you make money, you should keep it for yourself!"

Indeed, this is the ultimate goal.

Old Mrs. Zhao gave birth to three sons and two daughters in her lifetime. The youngest son was not favored and had no future as a carpenter. He was lucky enough to have enough money to spend.

So when the family business was divided, Mrs. Zhao had no reluctance at all.

But recently, Mrs. Zhao heard that her youngest son was working in the county town and could earn more than two hundred yuan a month!

We can’t let the money-losing people from the Hang family take it.

I will save it for my eldest grandson in the future!

When Zhao Donglai heard his mother say this, he knew it was because she was after his money!

"Mom, I don't have any money. Don't listen to Chengzi and the others. If I had money, I would definitely give it to you!"

After the family split, Zhao Donglai understood that no matter how big the family is, it is most important to take care of his own small family.

Seeing her son's solemn promise, Mrs. Zhao had her doubts in her heart, but when she saw that Zhao Donglai had nothing in his hands, she felt that it did not seem fake.

She could only put the matter aside for now and wait until the end of the month when her salary was paid and then she would ask someone about it.

Zhao Donglai held his breath and walked quickly towards the house. When he saw the dim and warm light in the house, he breathed a sigh of relief, put a smile on his face again, and pushed the door open.

The rice was warming in the pot, and his daughter-in-law was strolling around the house with her daughter in her arms. Zhao Donglai felt warm in his heart, and all the tiredness of the day was swept away. He walked over and wanted to hug the little girl.

Hang Jinghua dodged with the child in her arms, wrinkling her nose and saying in disdain: "Go away, wash your hands first and eat first, you are sweaty and you can't hold your daughter in your arms after taking a bath!"

Seeing that there was no chance of hugging the young lady, Zhao Donglai laughed loudly, then went to Hang Jinghua's side, kissed his wife's cheek quickly, and then ran to wash his hands.

As for those things I said are useless?

But go to her!

The next morning, Hang Jingshu walked down the mountain much faster than usual. She first went to Yan's house to get her schoolbag, and then ran to the No. 1 Middle School in the city to go to school.

Fortunately, No. 1 Middle School is only ten minutes away from the compound, otherwise Hang Jingshu would be late even if he could fly.

When they arrived at the classroom door, Zhou Xiaoli was the first to see her and greeted Hang Jingshu enthusiastically: "Xiao Hang! Come quickly!"

As soon as Hang Jingshu reached his seat, several classmates immediately surrounded him, all of whom were people who had shown kindness to him before.

Today is Monday, and everyone gathered around Hang Jingshu, asking him questions about English.

Seeing how popular Hang Jingshu was, Lin Xiao, the English class representative, didn't look so happy.

Wu Tianming added fuel to the fire: "I think it won't be long before you have to replace someone else as the English class representative."

Wu Tianming had previously recommended himself to be the English class representative, but Teacher Cai thought Lin Xiao's English was better, so she chose her.

Wu Tianming was known in the class for being petty, and he held a grudge against Lin Xiao because of this incident.

He even led a group of boys to deliberately go against Lin Xiao during morning reading.

This time, his target became Hang Jingshu.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao didn’t accept this at all. She rolled her eyes at Wu Tianming fiercely: “Stay away from me, you have a stinky stomach and don’t even brush your teeth, you stink!”

Although Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, she hated Wu Tianming even more. She had not forgotten what happened before!
