Chapter 148: The Zhu Family, All of Them Are Evil, Blood-Sucking Bugs
Old Zhu family.
Ever since Zhu Xiu Lian left, the sky has fallen.
The children in the old family are either late for class or have no one to pick them up after class.
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law kept yelling, "I don't know what you elders are thinking. Zhu Xiulian is already forty years old, and you still let her get married. Now that she's gone, it's no big deal that there's no one to pick up or see off Dabao. It's almost the grain in the fields, and there's no one to clean the house, feed the pigs, or cook. I'm not Zhu Xiulian, and I'm not going to marry into your Zhu family and be a slave to them."
"Zhu Daqing, you must tell me the truth today. If you don't go and find your sister, and continue to look after the children, cook, clean, wash clothes, and feed the pigs, I will take Dabao back to her parents' home. Whoever wants to serve you in the Zhu family can do so."
Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law got angry when she found out that Zhu Xiu Lian was taken away by Aunt Li.
For example, if Zhu Xiulian were gone, who would pick up the children? Who would cook? Who would take care of the entire family? For fifteen years, as the eldest daughter-in-law, she hadn't even touched a finger in the bathroom, let alone helped out.
On the day Zhu Xiu Lian left, she had just gone to the city to get a manicure. When she came back, Zhu Daqing asked her to light the fire and cook, saying that there were three daughters-in-law in the family, and each would do it for two days, and the three men would do it on the last day.
Zhu Da's wife found it funny and asked why it was arranged this way. Zhu Daqing said that Xiulian was going to get married, so they would divide the work like this in the future. Otherwise, they would separate and live their own lives.
The two old family lived there for three months, and the three brothers took care of everything, including eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, are you talking like a human being? Xiulian is originally a nun. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a nun serving her mother's family." Zhu Xiulian's mother spoke with an extremely ugly expression.
Zhu Xiulian's father also said, "Exactly. If it weren't for the fact that no one wanted her, would you think it's her duty to serve our family?"
"Old wife, you are the eldest daughter-in-law, you should behave yourself. Aren't you happy that your sister-in-law can get married at this age?"
Zhu's wife yelled, "I'm not happy at all. Do you think I'm happy like this? She's not the only one serving me. I think you two elders have enjoyed being served by your own daughter for the past fifteen years."
"Okay, sister-in-law, today's meeting is not about blaming anyone, but about implementing the support issues for the two elders, the hygiene of this house, and washing and cooking. My wife just got pregnant, and she was unstable in the first three months, so we can put the washing and cooking aside for now." The speaker was Zhu Xiu Lian's second brother, Zhu Laoer.
His wife just got pregnant with her second child and can't stand the smell of cooking fumes. He told his parents about it and they had no objection.
Hearing this, Zhu's eldest daughter-in-law sneered, "Second uncle, my wife is pregnant, so wouldn't it be even better to find Zhu Xiulian? She's going to be an aunt again, it's a great thing, how can getting married be as important as this?"
"sister in law……"
"Okay, stop yelling, wife. The second daughter-in-law has a special case, so you and the third daughter-in-law will share the responsibility for one more day." Zhu Daqing arranged.
Zhu Da's wife looked up at him, "You have a nice idea. Anyway, you three brothers will do it on the last day, so why not just do it? You want me to do the laundry and cooking, but I said, I didn't marry into this family to be a slave. Zhu Daqing, if you can't give me happiness, I'm leaving with the kids."
Zhu Daqing slammed the table. Before he could finish his words, the third brother's wife said, "Brother, this arrangement is impossible for the third brother and me. The third brother and I just found jobs, and it's time to show our abilities. We're not like the eldest sister-in-law. Even if we don't work, the eldest brother can still give us money. We only have one daughter at eight months old, and she can't eat much."
"My third brother and I decided to send her to my mother's care so that she won't be late for work. My third brother and I have to go there too and only come back on weekends when we don't have to work. So, regarding the issue of supporting the two elders, my parents are not paralyzed. They have hands and feet and pensions to count. Big brother, I agree with my eldest sister-in-law's proposal." "Either bring Xiulian back or split up the family. The two elders are idle anyway, so it's only right for them to help take care of their grandchildren. If neither of you agrees, I suggest... let the son-in-law come over. Xiulian can take care of us like before, and she can also get married. Anyway, she can't have children, and it will be her nephews and nieces who will take care of her funeral."
"Your Zhu family has done their best. It's not like she won't be rewarded if she continues to serve the Zhu family. Big brother, what do you think?"
Zhu Daqing's face darkened. Before he could say anything, he heard his parents say, "That's enough. We two old ladies have heard that you three wives never wanted Xiulian to get married so that she can continue to serve you in the Zhu family until you grow old."
"When did our Zhu family become so shameless? Boss, stop talking. Let's split up the family and each take care of our own business. You even let the son-in-law come to visit. Listen, is this something a human would say? If you can all think this way, then what about the son-in-law? What about the daughter of the son-in-law?"
"Don't be so calculating. Xiulian can't get married because she can't have children. She's not lazy and idle in the Zhu family. She has served you for fifteen years and is still your ballast. You are all her brothers and sisters-in-law. How has she done anything wrong to you over the years?"
Zhu's father was also heartbroken. His daughter couldn't give birth and couldn't get married, which brought shame to her. Taking care of the family was her compensation. Now that she could finally get married, one or two people were holding her back. Did she owe it to your family?
