Chapter 19 This made her unhappy. …
After returning home, Zhou Xian started reading newspapers, which she had borrowed from the brigade headquarters.
The articles of this era have their own style.
She read and wrote down the key points.
In addition to making herself better understand this era, she was previously confined to the Taohua Brigade, and all things were only in the original plot.
Although major historical events remain unchanged, this is a novel after all, and the author's subjective consciousness is still present. And newspapers are the best source for her to obtain important information.
Another point is that she has to learn how to write articles in this era so that she can write her own articles when the time comes.
Since he wanted to start a business, Zhou Xian felt that he had to make it big.
So whenever she had free time, she would read the newspaper and study.
After all, the quickest way now is to get the information she wants from the newspaper.
So Zhou Xian wrote down the important knowledge while reading.
Anyway, she just wrote down whatever she felt was important, and she even wrote down in detail what was reported in a newspaper.
Zhou Xian was not worried about not being able to find it when he needed it in the future. Newspapers were important things in the brigade at that time, and everyone would consciously put them away after reading them.
So it’s easy to find.
After reading it, Zhou Xian returned the newspaper and put away his notes.
In order to practice my writing skills, I also wrote down what happened this time into a short story.
I checked it carefully, and when the postman came, I gave the letter to the postman, who sent it to the county newspaper office.
Of course, she did not forget to give ideological education to Aunt Ma.
Thinking that she had time, she went straight to the door.
As soon as I got there, I heard noisy sounds in the yard.
When Zhou Xian entered the yard, he saw Ma Erya leaning against the door, biting a dried sweet potato and looking towards the main house.
On the other side, Zhao Chunxia was leaning against the window looking out. When Zhou Xian walked in, his eyes met hers.
Zhao Chunxia withdrew her gaze awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to continue watching the fun.
Seeing Zhou Xian coming, Ma Erya hurried over to greet him.
"Director Zhou, why are you here? Come on, come in and sit down."
Seeing Zhou Xian looking at the big house, Ma Erya smiled and said with a look of watching the fun, "Excuse me, there is a commotion in the big house again."
"again?"
Zhou Xian was surprised, but then he thought of the heroine Tao Ye Zi in the book who fought against the best people every day after she got married, so he was not surprised by the word "again".
To Tao Ye Zi, the best people in this family are naturally those in the second house. She feels that everyone in the second house wants to take advantage of them.
Tao Ye Zi knew the future development and knew that her man would be the richest man in the future, so her definition of the second wife was a termite that sucked their blood.
In the book, she and her mother-in-law Sun Meifeng teamed up to fight against the second wife. Although Ma Erya favored the first wife, the second child was also her own child, and she couldn't kill them, so she didn't get involved in these matters at all.
Even so, in the end, the first wife successfully defeated the second wife and other top talents.
In the later period, it became a fight between Ma Erya and Tao Ye Zi. Ma Erya used her crying skills to make the heroine Tao Ye Zi suffer a lot.
But at this moment, it was obvious that Tao Ye Zi and her mother-in-law Sun Meifeng were arguing.
In the original text, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were as close as mother and daughter, but now their friendship has capsized.
Zhou Xian could also guess the reason. In the book, they did not separate. In order to fight for that little benefit, Zhao Chunxia would never give it up, so the two sisters-in-law often competed with each other.
It’s different now. They have separated and live their own lives behind closed doors, not caring about what others do.
Without the contrast of Zhao Chunxia and the partiality of grandmother Ma Erya, it would be impossible for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to join forces.
Moreover, living under the same roof for a long time will naturally lead to more conflicts.
As he was thinking this, the door of the main room opened and Zhou Jianguo walked out of the room with a bitter face.
He couldn't understand it. Everything was fine before. When Ye Zi first got married, his mother was so happy. But how come it turned out like this in such a short time?
When he looked up and saw Zhou Xian, Zhou Jianguo was stunned.
But after a while, he reacted and turned to look at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were arguing fiercely in the room.
"Mom, Director Zhou is here." Zhou Jianguo shouted loudly.
The quarrel in the room stopped instantly.
Zhou Jianguo also felt relieved. He had not forgotten the incident when his grandmother was criticized before. He hoped that his mother and wife would not be arrested again.
But he didn't expect that it was too early to let go of this worry.
His mother rushed out of the house, grabbed Zhou Xian's hand and started complaining.
The general meaning is that it was not easy to raise a son like him, and now that he has married, he has forgotten his mother.
Sun Meifeng grabbed Zhou Xian's hand and said with a sad face, "Director Zhou, you have to make a decision for me about this unfilial daughter-in-law."
Tao Ye Zi also came out over there. Of course, she couldn't cry like her mother-in-law.
But listening to her putting all the blame on herself, I felt so frustrated.
Ma Erya, who was watching the fun on the side, couldn't help rolling her eyes as she watched Sun Meifeng's performance.
If she were to say, the eldest son's wife's crying was too fake.
"Sister-in-law, please say what you want to say nicely." Zhou Xian said to Sun Meifeng.
The main thing is that she was crying and cursing at the same time, and I really couldn't understand what she was trying to say.
Sun Meifeng then reluctantly stopped her performance and talked about why she had quarreled with her daughter-in-law.
The general meaning is that they are now separated, but some things in the house are still shared, such as the kitchen. Every time, the mother-in-law uses it first, and she and the second son's family have to draw lots. Whoever draws first uses it first. It's very troublesome.
When Tao Ye Zi got married, it really made his family proud for a few days.
But after the glory, comes reality.
There are three children in the family, and the separate room simply can't accommodate so many people.
Now that Jianguo is married, married life is inevitable. They are just separated by a curtain, which is fine for them, but his daughter and younger son are not married yet.
So Sun Meifeng thought about it, and discussed with Tao Ye Zi, asking her to take out her dowry and put it together to build a new house.
They didn't take advantage of the young couple, and when the new house was built, they would move in.
Everything was going fine at first, but as time went on, Tao Ye Zi got angry and refused to agree. Sun Meifeng relied on her status as a mother-in-law, but was bullied by her daughter-in-law and refused to work hard.
The two of them started arguing, and the noise was quite loud. Ma Erya and Zhao Chunxia were just watching the fun.
Of course, this was just what Sun Meifeng said herself, and Zhou Xian couldn't possibly believe her one-sided words. After all, she implicitly put the blame on her daughter-in-law for all the faults.
Zhou Xian turned around and walked over to the main room, called everyone over, sat on a stool and asked, "Comrade Tao, what do you think is going on?"
Tao Ye Zi was still very angry at the moment, so when Zhou Xian asked her questions, she just blurted out everything.
What my mother-in-law said just now was completely beautified.
Originally, her mother-in-law asked her to use the money to build a new house for the couple to move in. Of course, she had no objection. After all, she didn't feel comfortable living so close to her parents-in-law and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law.
Besides, she would feel uncomfortable if her parents-in-law and brother-in-law and sister-in-law heard her doing that.
But unexpectedly, my mother-in-law said that if we were to build a house, we should build two houses so that my younger brother-in-law could live in it when he gets married.
From what my mother-in-law said, she doesn't intend to pay any money. The money for building the house has to be paid by her.
This made her unhappy.
She is not her brother-in-law's mother, so why should we build a house for her to live in?
Besides, if I take my brother-in-law with me wherever I go now, when the country becomes prosperous, I will have to keep him under my control all the time.
So Tao Yezi rejected her mother-in-law without much thought.
As a result, the mother-in-law said that the family was divided, so she asked her to find a way to get an iron pot back so that they could cook separately in the main house.
Tao Ye Zi was so angry that she almost laughed. She had not forgotten that the iron pot now required industrial coupons, which were not available in the countryside. But her mother-in-law asked her to make the iron pot with just a few words. How could she do that?
Then they became more and more excited and their voices became louder.
When Zhou Jianguo came over to try to stop the fight, Tao Ye Zi was angry and pushed him. When Sun Meifeng saw that her son was being bullied, the two of them started arguing and almost came to blows.
Tao Ye Zi felt that it was okay to build a house, but only she and Zhou Jianguo could live in it, not anyone else.
Sun Meifeng was so angry that she stood up and yelled, "Bullshit, if you two live alone, isn't that separation? You shameless little bitch, you've only been married for a few days and you dare to instigate my son to separate the family?"
She hasn't yet had enough of her mother-in-law's power, so how could she be willing to divide the family?
Tao Ye Zi was naturally not a pushover, and immediately said, "What do you mean by dividing the family? Didn't you say that you wanted to build a house?"
"Stop!" Zhou Xian shouted when he saw the two people were about to quarrel to death again.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
She rubbed her eyebrows. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were one on her left and one on her right. She was stuck in the middle when they quarreled, and it made her head buzz.
And that saliva was almost spraying on her face.
"Sit down and talk slowly. No quarreling, much less fighting. If you can't calm down and talk, then go to the threshing floor and build a stage. You two can go up there and argue. Let everyone judge for you."
Sun Meifeng sat back immediately.
It's lively enough at home, and if you go to the threshing ground to quarrel, you'd just be a laughing stock.
Tao Ye Zi also has to save face, so naturally she wouldn't do such a thing.
Besides, if the matter really gets too big, even if Zhou Jianguo becomes the richest man in the world, this will all be his dark history.
She didn't want to come back in glory, only to have people talking about her previous scandal behind her back.
Seeing that the two people had stopped arguing, Zhou Xian paused for a moment, and waited until the buzzing in his head died down before he spoke.
"If you have anything to say, just sit down and talk it out. You can raise any points you are not satisfied with. It's best if we can negotiate."
Upon hearing this, Sun Meifeng started to complain again, wiping her tears and crying, "Director Zhou, I feel so miserable. When I was a daughter-in-law, I was bullied by my mother-in-law. Now that I am a mother-in-law, I am also irritated by my daughter-in-law. I..."
"Old man, who bullied you?" A sinister voice came from the door, and Sun Meifeng shuddered.
When she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law Ma Erya standing behind her, staring at her with unfriendly eyes.
Sun Meifeng felt uneasy when her mother-in-law stared at her.
Ma Erya over there was also feeling unhappy. She had just come to watch the fun, but ended up seeing it coming to her. She didn't think she was a good person, but she had been very kind to the eldest sister over the years, which made the second sister curse her behind her back. Then, the eldest sister's wife made up stories about her behind her back.
Ma Erya picked up a stool and sat down without moving.
She wanted to hear what the eldest brother's wife had to say today.
