Chapter 162: Dumb, timid, and henpecked
"Brother, Mingyang and Mingliang, you are back. Come back to the house and thank you. I have served you some food. Sister-in-law has already eaten, so you should eat something quickly. There are still a few pairs of shoes to be washed. I will go and do some work first, and then I will talk to sister-in-law. Oh, she is asleep now, so be careful when you go back to the house, don’t wake her up!"
Everyone: "......."
This is not a lame brain, this is madness, a loss of soul!!!
Mingliang was raised by his mother and is very picky, so he doesn’t want to eat the food in the old courtyard, and there is good food left over from lunch at home, so he has to save his stomach for the dinner in the evening!
"Aunt, we've already had dinner at Uncle San and Aunt San's place, so let's save the food at home for dinner. Go ahead and do your work. Dad, brother and I need to get some sleep too!"
Lu Lanhua's face froze, and she looked at Lu Zhenping hesitantly. Why was she waiting here after hanging the clothes? Wasn't it just to let Lu Zhenping see how much work she had done? It was a very cold day, and Shen Meng not only found her a lot of dirty clothes, but also a basin of stinky shoes. She was almost frozen to death after washing them. As her eldest brother, he should at least feel sorry for her.
Unexpectedly, when the adults didn't say anything, Lu Mingliang answered here. This was against the rules, but no matter what, she still looked at Lu Zhenping with some hope, hoping that he was not as Shen Meng said, dull, timid, afraid of his wife, and would quarrel with his parents for Shen Meng in order to prevent the family from breaking up. When
Lu Zhenping heard Lu Lanhua say that Shen Meng was sleeping, his eyelids jumped suddenly. Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he raised his head and saw her staring at him. His eyes moved and he remembered what his wife told him.
"Well, Lan, Lanhua, you are busy, wash up and go back early, don't make your sister-in-law angry, I'm going to see your sister-in-law, if she doesn't see me when she wakes up, she will be angry."
After Lu Zhenping finished speaking, he ran to the house.
Lu Lanhua: “…”
Useless thing, it’s a waste of your height!!!
Mingyang and Mingliang tried their best to act innocent, and ran towards their house, and Lu Lanhua was the only one left in the yard. Her hands, which were soaked in cool water, were slightly hot and itchy at the moment. After blowing them dry, her frozen fingertips lost their intuition. Looking at the basin of shoes beside the water tank, she gritted her teeth and walked over, not for anything else, but for the job of the ticket seller. It was no big deal for her to endure this momentary disgust.
Over at the old courtyard, Zhou Jiaojiao was crying with her hands covering her mouth. Her original intention was to let the two aunts covet Shen Meng's job quota so that she could also experience the pain of being caught in a dilemma and being forced into a corner. However, she did not expect that she could be so cruel and make things difficult for a pregnant woman, and even revealed the fact that she had a job. She was really cruel.
"How can I do this? My job in the textile factory was offered to me personally by the wife of the factory director. It's impossible to give it away or sell it. If they find out, can I quit? Jiaxuan has just been promoted to a regular employee. Dad and Mom, Sister Miaomiao, aren't you afraid that the textile factory will find out and make things difficult for Jiaxuan?"
"If you don't want to give it, then you don't want to give it. Why are you lying to me? If you can't give your job, how can you give up your eldest sister's job? Zhou Jiaojiao, you're not going to instigate my eldest sister and me to go find your eldest sister, are you?" Zhou
Jiaojiao, with tears on her face, suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Miaomiao, which made Lu Miaomiao feel guilty. She suddenly covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
"I, I really can't explain myself clearly. My sister-in-law's job was given by the county government, and it was also out of respect for my eldest brother. But my sister-in-law is a military wife, and my parents and we are all military dependents. As long as it can reduce the burden on my eldest brother's family, it doesn't matter who does this job. My kindness is really treated like a donkey. Why is it so difficult to be a human being, wuwuwu..."
Lu Miaomiao blushed so much. She was not as smart as Lu Lanhua and was fooled by just a few words. After all, Shen Meng had already agreed to sell the quota, and she was actually very sure that what Zhou Jiaojiao said was true.
Only Wu Xianglan, who had already been enlightened, could not help but roll her eyes fiercely. They were military dependents, not even family members. Shen Meng was a military dependent, for sure.
But Shen Meng also made her a little angry now. She refused if she wanted to. How could she let the two sisters-in-law covet the job quota of the fourth daughter-in-law of the old man? Didn't they agree before that it was hers? She could only report it after the New Year. She stole it from Zhou Jiaojiao... and took it out quietly.
"Don't say those things. If you just tell them that you're giving me the job, they won't agree. Look at yourself. Your belly is pounding like a ball. How can you go to work? It's too tiring to work. You might as well work for me. Then I can give you your salary for giving birth. You don't have to work and you can get several months' salary for free. What a wonderful thing!"
"Miao Miao, stop talking nonsense, who are you trying to fool? You've seen Jiao Jiao's bad temper for a long time, but you've been bullying her, right? This job is hers, and she can make money after giving birth to a child. What you said is good, giving her a few months' salary, and you'll have a stable job for life, it's a nice thought, dad and mom, please say something, you can't give this Jiao Jiao job to Miao Miao. You can feel sorry for your daughter, but you have to think about your own family, right?" If
you want to give it to someone, give it to me, your obedient, sensible and non-fiendish second daughter-in-law Wu Xianglan!!!
Lu Miaomiao did not dare to say anything to Wu Xianglan. After all, Lu Jiahe had already done something wrong to Wu Xianglan. If she said something to make Wu Xianglan angry, she would go back to her parents' home in anger, leaving Yongqiang and Yongli behind, which would cause unrest in her parents' home. When word got out that she was the one who made trouble, it would be bad for her reputation. She was a city dweller now.
Liu Sanjin's face was very ugly. In the past, she felt very proud when her two daughters came home. There was no old lady in the village who did not envy her. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the leader among the old ladies in Lujia Village. But now she was disciplined by Shen Meng. Every time she went back to the village, she was squeezed by the old men and women.
Now that the two daughters of the family have returned home, she originally wanted them to help her regain some face. However, when she went to the village to show off that she still had two top-notch daughters of the family, the eldest daughter went to the old family’s home to wash clothes and sweep the floor, and the younger daughter stayed at home and was obsessed with her daughter-in-law’s job. As a result, neither of them was of any use.
"Stop making trouble. It's getting late. Go do what you need to do. Fourth son's wife, don't cry. You're carrying his first baby in your belly. If it's a boy, you'll be a crybaby. There's so much cat urine in the room every day. Let's go."
Lu Miaomiao's eyes turned red. She looked at Lu Changzhu and shouted aggrievedly, "Dad, say something!"
Lu Changzhu had never planned to let his two daughters go home, for fear that his relationship with Lu Zhenping would deteriorate again. Now he doesn't want to care about the situation at all. His sons and daughters have already started their own families. It's useless for him to worry about it. Everyone has their own destiny.
"What are you talking about? It was your mother who asked you to come back. I don't have time to take care of you. Just do what you need to do. I'll go out for a walk."
Liu Sanjin saw that he didn't want to be in charge of things, and secretly hated him in his heart. What an old man, he only cares about that one son, as if the one he gave birth to is not as good as his bastard son!!!
