Chapter 187 Dissatisfaction
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Forget it. At worst, she could just smuggle vegetables out of the system to eat in the future. She doesn't have to grow vegetables.
Jiang Cuihua couldn't help but sigh: "What you worry about is bound to happen. I didn't expect your third sister-in-law to be pregnant at this time."
Seeing that there is no harvest in the fields this year, who would dare to have a baby at this time?
Other families in the village...wouldn't want children even if they had them.
In just the past few months, Jiang Cuihua had lost count of how many times she had heard people say that some young wife got pregnant and went straight to the hospital to have an abortion.
Some people whose family conditions were not good took the medicine and got the injection at home, leaving blood all over the floor.
Some people even don't want to be born...
Anyway, Jiang Cuihua felt scared after hearing it, so she didn't tell Liu Yinyin in detail.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "If there are any difficulties at home, just tell me, Mom."
No matter what, now that you have a child, you have to take good care of it.
Jiang Cuihua said comfortedly: "Let's talk about it later. We can still make ends meet at home now."
She was extremely grateful at this moment, fortunately she had listened to her daughter's advice and spent all her family's savings to stock up on food.
Otherwise...the situation at home is not much better than that of other people in the village.
It's quite difficult now, but if you grit your teeth, you can still persevere.
Huang Xiaoyue's pregnancy was quite unexpected, but this was her youngest son's first child. No matter what, Jiang Cuihua could not say that she did not want the child.
The elderly naturally wish the best for the younger generation.
that is......
Jiang Cuihua thought of something and complained to her daughter, "Having a new baby in the family is a good thing. Your father and I are actually very happy. But your sister-in-law...I see she has a stern face lately. I'm afraid she is not happy."
More people in the family mean more mouths to feed, but there is only so much food. If there are more mouths to feed, the others will have to eat less.
Although Huang Xiaoyue had just become pregnant, she still had to occasionally nourish her body and improve her diet while carrying a child.
The same thing happened when Second Sister Liu was pregnant. At that time, First Sister Liu did not react much.
It’s also because of the natural disasters that have occurred in the past two years. Maybe she’s worried about going hungry, so Mrs. Liu is unhappy.
Liu Yinyin worriedly asked, "Did anything go wrong?"
This is what happens when there are too many people in a house: quarrels are prone to occur.
Jiang Cuihua shook her head secretly: "It was your sister-in-law who said a few weird things."
Mrs. Liu was in the same situation, she must be too embarrassed to say anything.
But Mrs. Liu...during the famine, her two sisters-in-law became pregnant one after another, and she must have been unhappy.
Even though she has two children of her own, she is not at a disadvantage considering the population.
Liu Yinyin hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Mom, I think that with so many people in the family, conflicts are inevitable. It would be better...it would be better to separate the family."
After the family was divided, everyone took care of their own affairs and could not feel dissatisfied with each other, otherwise everyone would definitely be thinking about their own small family.
"......What, split up the family?" Jiang Cuihua exclaimed, "Child, why are you bringing this up for no reason? Your father and I are still here, why would you want to split up the family?"
It is a long-standing tradition in the countryside that the family remains together while the parents are still alive.
Jiang Cuihua is not that open-minded. Life at home is quite difficult now, but she has never thought of dividing the family.
Liu Yinyin explained, "Distance brings beauty. If we don't live together, there won't be so many problems. Besides, after the separation, you will have several brothers to take care of you and dad. It will be easier for you. Isn't it nice to enjoy a peaceful life?"
Otherwise, they would be worrying about this or that, and Liu Yinyin would feel tired just watching them.
"You silly girl, don't say such things." Jiang Cuihua glared at her and said unhappily, "Don't mention this to your sisters-in-law. You young people are just thinking about living alone. Don't you think that your family doesn't have the conditions? We don't even have a house. How can we divide the family?"
Besides, after the separation, how many pots, bowls, pans, and other things will we need to buy?
Where can a country person buy so many things? Not everyone can be as successful as my son-in-law and support a family.
Moreover, Jiang Cuihua thought it was good to have a lively home. If the family was divided, which son would she and her husband live with?
It's not the right thing to follow anyone, and it's even worse not to follow anyone.
Raising sons is a way to provide for one's old age. Jiang Cuihua doesn't want to raise several sons in vain.
Liu Yinyin wanted to say that it was only a little difficult at the beginning, just like when she first moved out, and things would slowly get better in the future.
But seeing Jiang Cuihua's expression, he swallowed the words back.
Jiang Cuihua really wouldn't consider dividing the family: "Okay, don't mention it anymore. Your father will definitely not agree."
Our family is so poor that we can barely make ends meet, there is no point in dividing the family property.
Seeing that she was really unhappy, Liu Yinyin didn't mention it anymore. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her.
At noon, Liu Yinyin helped Jiang Cuihua make lunch.
The young lady ate at home, and the food there was better than usual.
Wild vegetable nests, cabbage and vermicelli stewed with salted meat, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, stir-fried sweet potato leaves, and smashed cucumber.
There was also a small basket of steamed buns from the canteen.
Jiang Cuihua steamed a bowl of egg custard for her eldest grandson.
She was kind to Liu Yinyin and her son, and no one else in the family had any objections. Liu Yinyin often sent good things to the Liu family.
Even if we eat at Liu's house every day, no one else can say anything.
While they were eating, other members of the Liu family came back from the mountain one after another.
The weather was hot and everyone was sweating profusely.
"Mom, I want to rest for two days. The weather is too hot. If we go to the mountain again, we will get heatstroke." As soon as Mrs. Liu came back, she couldn't help but mentioned this to Jiang Cuihua.
This damn weather is really hot, and there are not many wild vegetables to be found right now. If someone gets sick from working too hard, it would be a waste of time.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cuihua's face turned blue with anger, but she thought that it was indeed tiring for her to go to the mountains to look for wild vegetables.
Jiang Cuihua was silent for a moment, then said, "We'll have to take a rest this afternoon. We still have to go dig wild vegetables tomorrow, otherwise where will we get food at home? Your father is old now, and he doesn't dare to stay at home and eat up all the food."
We definitely have to go to the mountains to find food. With so many people at home, how much food do we need to eat in a day?
Mrs. Liu was not very happy, and she murmured quietly, "It seems that my life is so miserable that I can't even enjoy a day."
"What did you say?" Jiang Cuihua is old and her hearing is not very sharp.
Mrs. Liu looked unhappy, but she shut up in time. She didn't dare to make trouble with Jiang Cuihua.
Liu Yinyin heard her words clearly, but she didn't say anything, because saying anything would only make Jiang Cuihua unhappy.
While eating, Liu Yinyin mentioned to Liu Laifu that they would not grow vegetables in the yard in the future.
Liu Laifu did not agree: "Don't worry about it, I'll help you."
