Chapter 219 Marrying a Wife and Forgetting the Mother
"Xiumei, it's inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises in a family's life. You and your sister-in-law have been quarreling for so long, it's time to calm down."
Xu Yuxiang was sitting in the bathroom brushing Su Xiumei's shoes. She sighed, "When I'm old and can't move anymore, I'll still have to rely on you two brothers. If you have a falling out with your eldest sister-in-law, how will you come home to see me? Will you even be able to enter your eldest brother's house?"
"Why can't I get in?" Su Xiumei was unconvinced. "That's my eldest brother's home. Who the hell is Feng Yuefen? Do I have to look at her face?"
She clearly had good intentions, but Feng Yuefen and Chen Guilan treated her like a donkey's liver and lungs. She was so angry!
When Liang Kun fell in love with Su Jiaojiao, she also strongly supported it. It was because she wanted her niece to marry into the city so that she could have a city hukou. It was Su Jiaojiao who was determined not to agree, and in the end she treated her as an enemy.
When Feng Yuefen learned that Su Jiaojiao was unwilling to marry Liang Kun, she asked her to match Su Cuicui with Liang Kun. She kindly took Su Cuicui to her home to cultivate her relationship with Liang Kun, but she didn't expect that Liang Kun didn't like Su Cuicui.
Feng Yuefen was so ungrateful. She had a falling out with her in the first month of the year because of this matter. How could she swallow this anger!
"Even if you can get in, you still have to be awkward." Xu Yuxiang naturally sided with Su Xiumei. A daughter-in-law is an outsider, while a daughter is one's own child. "Let me persuade your sister-in-law. If she gives you a way out, you should take it. You can't just keep silent forever."
"That depends on her attitude." Su Xiumei finally relented for Xu Yuxiang's sake. "If she continues to act like she did before, I won't tolerate her bad habits."
"By the way, the wedding banquet requires generous gifts, so we can't go empty-handed. Why don't you discuss with your elder brother how much gift money you will give?" Xu Yuxiang had mentioned the matter of giving a gift once before, and Su Xiumei was very disgusted and said they would talk about it later.
Now that the wedding banquet is just around the corner, Xu Yuxiang feels that they need to come up with a set of rules.
Compared with her daughter-in-law, she prefers her daughter, but compared with her son, she naturally stands on her son's side, especially she particularly favors Su Houli.
Su Houli is good-looking, good at her job, and filial, which makes her very respected in front of the old ladies in the village.
"Wencai and I have discussed it. We will contribute one hundred yuan. As for my eldest brother, he can contribute whatever he wants." Su Xiumei said with a sullen face, "Don't forget, Houli still owes us five hundred yuan!"
"I'll go home tomorrow and talk to your eldest brother and ask him to contribute a hundred yuan as well." Xu Yuxiang hoped that the brother and sister would contribute the same amount so that outsiders would think that they got along well with each other and she would also feel proud.
The next day, Xu Yuxiang returned to Wutong Village.
Su Houli was holding a wedding banquet, and she wanted to go to Guolv with Su Houde's family. Otherwise, how would the villagers know that Su Houli was holding a wedding banquet in Guolv.
Not everyone can travel abroad.
"What? We should also contribute 100 yuan?" Feng Yuefen was unhappy when she heard this. "Mom, Hou Li still owes us 300 yuan. Why should we give him a contribution?"
It's my second marriage, and I still ask for money
Are you crazy because of poverty?
"These are two different things." Xu Yuxiang had been in the city for more than half a year, and when she looked at Feng Yuefen again, she felt that she was unsophisticated and uninformed. "He owes you money, and he will pay it back sooner or later. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it's your responsibility to contribute. Xiumei has contributed 100 yuan, and you two families can just match it."
"She is she, we are us, how can we have so much money?" Feng Yuefen didn't want to spend a penny. "Their whole family earns money, and we are the only one who earns a little. We have no money."
Su Houde squatted on the ground smoking without saying a word.
Feng Yuefen holds all the money in the family, so what he says has no say.
Xu Yuxiang was furious when she saw Su Houde's cowardly look: "You two should have some conscience. If it weren't for Houli getting Cuicui to work in the garment factory, would she have gotten a salary?"
"Mom, please don't keep harping on this. Will our Cuicui be unable to find a job without the generous gift?" Feng Yuefen curled her lips and said, "There are so many garment factories in Jiao County, and they're all hiring. You're talking like the Qimei Garment Factory is some great place."
Su Cuicui has been working at the Qimei Garment Factory for more than a year. She is no longer as unfamiliar and reserved as when she first came to the city. She is very familiar with the surrounding factories.
Many factories were recruiting workers, and even without Su Houli's introduction, Su Cuicui was able to get into Qimei Garment Factory.
"You can't just go to Guolv with ten fingers waving, right?" Xu Yuxiang was furious. "I'm discussing the donation with you out of kindness, and this is your attitude?"
"Anyway, I won't take the money, and I won't go to the China Travel Service to eat. Whoever you want to go can go." Feng Yuefen was not afraid of offending Su Houli. If he had the ability, he would fire Su Cuicui.
She couldn't let Su Houli and Xu Yuxiang control her whole life because of this matter.
"Boss, what do you say?" Xu Yuxiang was almost mad at Feng Yuefen, but she had no way to deal with Feng Yuefen.
She was angry that Su Houde was too cowardly.
"Mom, what can I say? I don't have any money." Su Houde said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, since the generous gift asks me to go, I will go. If you despise me for not taking the gift, then I won't go."
"You've really forgotten your mother and your brothers and sisters after getting married." Xu Yuxiang didn't expect Su Houde to listen to Feng Yuefen so much. She was completely disappointed with Su Houde. "From now on, you two should live your lives behind closed doors and don't interfere with each other."
"What do you mean by we have to live behind closed doors? They can't just say nice things. When it's their turn to take care of you in your old age, they must take you to the city." Feng Yuefen had a grudge against Su Houli for a long time. Ever since his divorce, he hadn't shown any intention of taking care of you in your old age.
Logically speaking, he should have brought Xu Yuxiang to live in the city instead of letting her live in the house of Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao.
That is to say, Su Xiumei had a child, and Xu Yuxiang went to help take care of the child. She has not lived in the village for more than half a year, so she did not make a fuss about the pension issue.
Su Houli is good at talking, but that's all he can do.
"Retirement is a later matter. Even if he doesn't want to support me, I have to go find him." Xu Yuxiang saw Feng Yuefen making a fuss about retirement and said awkwardly, "That's all we have to do on the day of the ceremony. I'll put my share in with yours, fifty and you fifty. After all, it's an international trip, and a hundred yuan wouldn't be enough for a meal for our family."
Feng Yuefen then stopped talking.
She didn't want to take the fifty dollars either.
That afternoon, Xu Yuxiang returned to Su Xiumei's home.
Xu Yuxiang didn't say that she and Su Houde's family's share of the money was put together, but she said that Feng Yuefen was unreasonable and had a heart smaller than a needle. If she had known she would be such a daughter-in-law, she would not have dared to accept her.
"You only now realize that your eldest daughter-in-law is a worthless person!" Su Xiumei sneered, "I think your second daughter-in-law is even less worthless. A woman who hasn't given birth to a child for this man doesn't have her heart in this man."
She is telling the truth.
In the past few years, she did not give birth to a child for Liang Wencai, and always felt that she was an outsider in this family. Liang Wencai and Liang Kuncai were a family.
Fortunately, she woke up in time and gave birth to a child. Although it was a girl, it was better than nothing. She even felt that Liang Wencai treated her much better than before. After all, she was the mother of his daughter.
All women are the same. She doesn't believe that Gao Meifeng doesn't have this idea. The difference is that if Gao Meifeng doesn't give birth to a child for Su Houli, Su Houli will be an outsider.
