Chapter 17 Whoever can't eat candy will be angry
Li Xiaohe explained the whole story in a low voice, but Sun Xiuqin said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just sharing some candy? Why can't Xiaokang be allowed to share? As an elder, why are you arguing with a child?
Besides, Xiaokang is weak, so what's wrong with giving him more? It was the same at home before, and no one else said anything. Why do you have an opinion? Do you dislike the child or do you dislike me, your second sister-in-law?"
Wang Guixiang frowned even more tightly. She also didn't like the way her younger brother's wife spoiled the child, but she couldn't scold her younger brother's wife since her parents-in-law were there.
I had no choice but to say, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? If a child makes a mistake, you should correct him/her. You can't always spoil him/her."
Li Wanyue smiled: "Second sister-in-law, Xiaokang has developed such a personality, I think it is all because of your words and deeds. Is this a matter of asking someone to share the candy? When other children saw me, they immediately called for help. Did he call?
Did you teach him to call Xiaolan by her name instead of her sister? He always calls his sisters "girls". Is this his upbringing?
He is weak and doesn't want to work more and exercise more to strengthen his physique. Will his health improve if he relies on others to do things for him? Except for Xiaolan who is older than him, the other three are younger than him. As the eldest brother, why doesn't he give way to his younger brothers and sisters? If the second sister-in-law can't teach the child, it's better to let someone else teach the child, so as not to ruin the good child. "
After she finished speaking, she looked directly at Li Kang: "Li Kang, this is at home, your family can give in to you, but outside this door, your attitude towards others will only result in a beating, you should treat others the way you want others to treat you, if you respect others, others will respect you, otherwise, not only this time's candy, but anything I buy in the future, you will not get a share.
My things will only be distributed to you based on your performance, not based on your gender. If you perform well, I will give you more. If you perform poorly, I'm sorry, you won't get anything at all."
After saying that, he stuffed the candy into Xiaolan's hand and asked her to share it.
Sun Xiuqin gritted her teeth and wanted to refute, but then she heard Zhao Suying's voice: "Yueyue is right, there is no saying in our family that daughters are money-losing goods."
Sun Xiuqin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said aggrievedly: "Mom, I didn't say that my daughter is a money-loser. Xiaokang must have heard some villagers say nonsense and followed them. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaohe, have I ever treated her harshly?
Besides, Xiaokang is still a child, and my younger sister, as his aunt, is too picky with him. She has already divorced and returned home. If this matter gets out, won’t her reputation be further affected? I am doing this for her own good.”
"Shut up." Zhao Suying's face darkened.
Seeing that his second sister-in-law was getting more and more outrageous, Li Sandong came out and sent the children away, shouting, "Your aunt has bought meat, so we will have meat to eat tonight. Now come with me to fetch water and dig wild vegetables."
"good."
With just one sentence, the tense atmosphere was instantly broken. Several children jumped up excitedly. They were so happy today, with both candy and meat, except for Li Kang.
Several children quickly followed Li Sandong and disappeared.
Zhao Suying stepped forward and asked Li Wanyue to go and rest, and Wang Guixiang to hang the clothes. She looked at Sun Xiuqin and said, "The second child's family, follow me."
In the main hall, Sun Xiuqin stood with her head down. Zhao Suying said, "I didn't say anything bad about you in front of them. I did it to save face for you and the second brother. I never got angry with you because you gave birth to children for the second brother. Even if there were things I couldn't stand, I only reminded you and didn't tell the second brother because a harmonious family brings prosperity. But I didn't expect you to become more and more outrageous.
Yueyue's words today are also a reminder to you. If you can't teach your child well, let someone else teach him. You know the temper of the second child. He usually doesn't care about things, but when he does, no one can stop him. Think about it yourself. If you continue like this, your family will no longer keep it a secret for you. Okay, get out."
Sun Xiuqin looked panicked for a moment. This was the first time her mother-in-law spoke harshly to her.
Her husband never hits her, and her family always puts Xiaokang first and is very tolerant of her. Gradually, she takes it for granted and forgets that her husband also has a temper.
If her husband knew what happened today, Li Kang would definitely beat her up, and she would not be spared either.
She immediately put on an obedient look and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I will definitely teach Xiaokang well in the future."
"Go out."
Zhao Suying waved her hand to send the person out and went to the west room.
Li Wanyue was sitting at the table, using a matchstick to draw the tools she needed on paper. When she saw Zhao Suying, she asked, "Mom, what's up?"
"Mother has just talked about your second sister-in-law. She is just a certain type of person, but she is very devoted to your second brother. Don't be angry. It's not worth it to make yourself angry."
Li Wanyue shook her head indifferently: "Why should I be angry? Whoever can't eat candy will be angry."
Zhao Suying sighed, "Mother will keep an eye on her. If she doesn't teach her well, I will send Xiaokang to your grandmother Wang's house. She has always been strict and all the children in the village are afraid of her."
Li Wanyue smiled.
Zhao Suying glanced at the paper on the table: "What are you drawing?"
"Mom, I want to make something, so I'm drawing a blueprint. Is there a carpenter in our village?"
"Sandong can do it. Have you forgotten? He started learning from an old carpenter from the next village two years ago. Later, the carpenter died and your father also had an accident, so he stopped learning. Although he can't do very detailed work, he can do simple ones."
Li Wanyue's eyes lit up. Now that's good.
"By the way, what kind of dishes do you want to stir-fry with the lean meat? I'll ask your sister-in-law to make it. This morning, your village chief's aunt and several aunts and sisters-in-law who are close to our family heard about your situation and sent some chicken and duck eggs for you to nourish your body. We have 17 duck eggs now. If you want to eat them, stir-fry a few."
Li Wanyue recalled that although duck eggs were large in size, they had a strong taste and most people did not like to eat them, so they were cheaper than chicken eggs. Chicken eggs cost two cents each, while duck eggs only cost one cent.
Thinking of this, she remembered preserved eggs, century egg tofu, and century egg porridge, all of which tasted better than frying them directly.
"Mom, let me make dinner. Please save those duck eggs for me. I will need them."
"Your two sisters-in-law are at home, why do you need to cook?"
Li Wanyue smiled and said, "I'm not just staying at home for one day. If I stay here for a long time, I'll have to share some of the work."
Zhao Suying knew that what she said made sense, so she agreed.
Li Wanyue handed over a hundred coins to Zhao Suying: "Mom, please ask who in the village sells duck eggs for me. Just buy a few dozen."
She would make a few to try, and if they were successful she would make more.
Zhao Suying was puzzled: "What do you want to do with all those duck eggs? These duck eggs are not tasty. Let's buy chicken eggs instead."
"Mom, I'm using it to pickle duck eggs. Pickled duck eggs are delicious."
"That won't take that much, right?"
"You can sell it if you can't eat it. Besides, duck eggs take a long time to pickle. Just do as I say."
"Okay." Zhao Suying agreed and turned to walk out.
After Li Sandong came back, Li Wanyue handed him the blueprint and asked, "Can you do it?"
