Chapter 172 I wish I didn’t have a mother-in-law
Jiang Yu returned home, feeling a little tired from all the torment
. She put down her things and started eating the cold steamed buns in the pot. She sat in the main room and rested for a while before she felt her body gradually warming up.
It was good to have a kang at home. Once the coal was burning, even the main room was not cold.
Taking a bath in winter used to be a difficult problem, but now she felt that taking a bath at home was almost the same as going to a bathhouse, which was extremely comfortable.
She even moved the chicken pen to the side of the kitchen. Heidan hid in it all day and didn’t like to come out.
She rested for a while and saw Jiang Ting peeking out of her door.
Jiang Yu smiled coldly, "Are you disappointed to see me back?"
Jiang Ting shrank her neck, looking guilty.
"How could I be disappointed? Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Yu felt extremely bored when he saw her useless appearance.
"Jiang Ting, instead of always staring at other people's affairs, why don't you focus more on your own affairs. Don't you love having children the most? You haven't gotten pregnant after being married to Fu Xiangyang for so long, aren't you in a hurry?"
Jiang Ting's face flushed and she said angrily, "What do you care!"
"Tsk! Who wants to care about you? I just feel tired for you because I see you staring at me every day. If you really want to be a good sister, you can find a job for Jiang Hao. Why are you staring at my things?"
Jiang Ting said righteously: "A woman should just take care of her husband and children at home. Why should she go out and show herself? Jiang Hao is the man in our family. What's wrong with giving him the job?"
Jiang Yu said sarcastically: "You are right, then tell me, what have you done for Jiang Hao?"
When it comes to this, Jiang Ting really became proud.
She straightened her chest and said loudly, "He and Du Juan are getting married, and I gave him ten yuan!"
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Where did you get the money?"
The money that Jiang Ting had hidden in the bottom of the box had long been taken out and used up by Lin Hongxia.
"Humph! My Xiangyang loves me, and he gave me ten yuan when he got his salary this month! Your section chief He has a high salary, how much money does he give you every month?"
Jiang Yu held his chin and pretended to be distressed.
"It's also ten yuan."
Jiang Ting was stunned, "He gives you ten yuan every month? Every month?"
She felt sour in her heart, comparing yourself with others is really annoying.
Jiang Yu shook her head, "No, he left ten yuan and gave me the rest. I don't have a mother-in-law, I'm the boss at home, so of course the money is in my hands. Hey, why aren't you the one who manages your family?"
Jiang Ting looked at her absentmindedly, calculating how much money He Tingyue gave her every month. She
couldn't help but murmur, "It's good to not have a mother-in-law to manage the family. It would be great if I didn't have a mother-in-law."
As soon as she finished speaking, a furious voice came from behind: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Lin Hongxia raised her hand and slapped her, making Jiang Ting's ears buzz.
Jiang Ting was shocked, and turned around to see her mother-in-law's furious face. Before she could say anything, Lin Hongxia slapped her.
"It's really a sin to let a woman like you into the family! You always take your husband's money to support your brother from your mother's side, and you are so reluctant to do so. Why don't you just go back to your mother's side and get out of our Fu family!"
Grandmother came out to watch the show, and saw that Jiang Ting had a nosebleed, so she gave a few words of advice.
"Old Lin, why are you so angry? Let's talk it out."
Lin Hongxia didn't stop her hand movements and roared, "She hopes that I, the mother-in-law, will die so that she can be the master of the family. Tell me, should this daughter-in-law be beaten?"
"Oh, Jiang Ting, you are going too far!" Xu Lihua saw that the excitement was not a problem.
Jiang Ting covered her nose and begged for mercy in a stammering voice: "Mom, I just slipped my tongue for a moment, how could I say that to you! I know I was wrong, and I won't say nonsense again next time."
Jiang Yu stood aside and watched with a faint look in her eyes.
Xu Lihua saw her like this and thought that she was really ruthless, it was a pity that they were sisters.
"Jiang Yu, your sister was beaten so badly, why didn't you help?"
Jiang Ting looked over and heard Jiang Yu speak in a faint voice: "She talked too much and deserved to be beaten. As a mother-in-law teaching her daughter-in-law, how could I interfere?"
Jiang Ting couldn't help but shudder. She must have known that she had returned to Nanhe Village!
Jiang Yu turned and went into the house and ignored her.
Not long after, when it was time to get off work at the second factory, He Tingyue came back.
Jiang Yu pointed at the half-dead fish outside, "Let's have pickled fish tonight?"
He Tingyue took a look and asked, "Did you go fishing?"
"Yes, I thought I couldn't go for nothing, I had to bring something back."
He Tingyue frowned, after all, it was because of the shortage of supplies.
If he could get some meat, Jiang Yu wouldn't have gone fishing in the cold weather.
He reached out and touched her cheek, "Are you cold?"
"Fortunately, I have He Xing to help me, so it's not that cold."
He Tingyue noticed that she was not wearing a scarf, and looked around, but didn't see any scarf hanging.
"Where's your scarf?"
Jiang Yu said, "I saw He Xing was too cold, so I gave it to her."
He Tingyue looked unhappy, "So you came back in the wind?"
"No, it's quite warm in the car, not cold. I'm starving, go and cook."
Jiang Yu pushed him out.
He Tingyue stopped asking questions when he heard that she was hungry.
He weighed the fish, it was really big.
"Make half of it into sauerkraut fish, and fry the remaining half for you to make braised fish fillets, okay?"
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, she had wanted to eat crispy fried fish fillets for a long time, but she didn't dare to ask.
"It wastes too much oil."
He Tingyue smiled and said, "If you like it, no matter how much oil is used, it won't be wasted."
He moved very skillfully and processed the fish in a few seconds.
Half of it was sliced into fish fillets, and the fish head was used to make sauerkraut fish.
"I'll get the cabbage and potatoes!"
Jiang Yu was actually a little tired of eating, but in the winter, they could only eat cabbage and potatoes.
When she came out with cabbage and potatoes, He Tingyue had already started to put oil in the pot.
She swallowed her saliva and stared at it.
"This lard smells so good!"
He Tingyue said hurriedly, "There are also lard residues. We will make cabbage buns later."
It would be better if there was meat, but the money he received this month was in Jiang Yu's hand. Jiang Yu held it tightly and was determined not to eat and drink lavishly in the first half of the month and tighten his belt in the second half.
"Okay, it would be even better if there is meat. By the way, the bus station wants to invite you to give two days of classes to the drivers to train them some skills to deal with emergencies. The reward is two catties of meat tickets. Do you want to go?"
He Tingyue looked at her greedy look and smiled.
"Go! With the meat tickets, we can buy a catty of meat to make dumplings!"
Jiang Yu felt pain in his flesh and frowned, saying, "It's better to have half a catty. There are also pig fat and cabbage here."
"Okay, half a catty, I'll listen to you."
The oil temperature was almost right, and He Tingyue poured the fish pieces in.
The fish pieces immediately sizzled when they came into contact with the boiling oil temperature.
While he was busy, Jiang Yu sat aside, holding his chin and looking at the pot.
"Fried silver carps must be delicious!"
He Tingyue thought for a moment, "I'll take you to catch some silver carps and fry them for you later."
"Where can I find them?"
He Tingyue said, "Go forward from Yunjiao Village, there's a reservoir with lots of silver carps!"
