As soon as I entered the courtyard, my eldest sister-in-law Li Jinhua and my second sister-in-law Zhao Laidie surrounded me.
"Xiaoguo, is it heavy? Come, let me help you carry it into the house." Sister-in-law Li Jinhua said as she went to take the things in Wen Guoer's hand.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Mother asked me to buy these. Just put them in her room." When Li Jinhua heard that they were Grandpa Zhong's things, she instantly lost her energy in carrying them.
"Egg cake, white flour, pork belly ~ Oh, just thinking about it makes them smell so good. Our mother is really willing to spend so much this time." Second sister-in-law Zhao Laidie was drooling.
When the children heard that there was candy to eat, they all ran to Tang's mother's room and clamored for some.
"One piece for each of you, and save the rest for the New Year." Tang's mother gave each child a piece of fruit candy, and the rest of the snacks were locked in the cabinet.
"Mom, can we cook some meat tonight?" Second sister-in-law Zhao Lai Di carefully discussed with Tang's mother.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. Are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Why are you eating meat during the New Year or other festivals? You're so proud of yourself in the middle of winter?"
Sister-in-law Li Jinhua was jealous when she saw the thermos and washbasin that Tang Zhan brought into the room. She didn't even get a thermos when she got married! Her eyes flashed, and when she saw the watch on Wen Guoer's wrist, she couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart.
"Mom, mom, look at what the fourth son's wife is wearing on her hand?" He pushed Tang's mother to Wen Guoer, wanting the old lady to see it clearly.
"Isn't this just a watch? Your mother does have some knowledge." Tang's mother glanced at it lightly and rolled her eyes at the eldest son's wife, who was ignorant.
"Mom, why does the fourth son's wife have a watch?" The eldest son's wife stopped pretending.
"Why not? The fourth child can make money!" The old lady would not indulge her.
"...Mom, our family hasn't split up yet." Li Jinhua was not convinced.
"Old man, are you going to settle the score? If so, I'll settle it with you!" Tang's mother was so angry at Li Jinhua that she slammed the table.
"You and the eldest brother earn only a few work points each year. It's enough to feed your family of five and pay for the tuition of your three children. Who subsidizes you with the rest? The fourth child doesn't eat or drink anything at home, but he still pays 30 yuan every month. Who is profiting and who is losing out?
Did you ever ask the eldest brother to hand over the money he earned when he was doing some farming during his free time? The fourth brother's wife bought a watch, and you're making a fuss about it. If you have the guts, ask your man to buy you one too. Did I stop him?
If you feel that your family is unfair, then fine, you can separate and live on your own."
"Mom! Don't bother with this woman. She is just blinded by greed and has her brain kicked by a donkey." The eldest brother Tang Ming heard the noise and came over to hear that his mother wanted to separate from the family and live on her own, so he quickly tried to appease the old lady.
"Why don't you apologize to your mother?!" Tang Ming glared at Li Jinhua.
"Mom, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I was mistaken." When Li Jinhua heard that the old lady wanted to separate their family, she instantly lost all her enthusiasm and became completely cowardly.
Wen Guoer watched the whole process and was deeply impressed by the old lady's ability to suppress the situation!
"Mom, it's time to cook dinner. Are we going to eat meat tonight?" Zhao Lai Di secretly watched Tang's mother's reaction out of the corner of her eye without giving up.
Tang's mother, who was already furious, picked up the broomstick nearby and was about to hit her. Zhao Lai Di saw that the situation was not good, so she turned around and ran away. When she reached the yard, she kept patting her chest and muttering, "Thank goodness I ran fast enough this time..."
Tang Xiu, who was playing in the snow, saw the funny look of his second aunt and laughed out loud.
