Chapter 45 No, No, No, You Can't
Liu Shan had just returned to the window after delivering the dishes when she was stopped by Cui Xiaohua again.
"Sister, is that child yours? He's quite cute."
Liu Shan: "No, he's my eldest uncle's son. My son didn't come today."
Cui Xiaohua nodded and said, "Sister, didn't you say that everything your brother-in-law wears and wears is bought by your family? Then where does he get the money to eat out?"
Liu Shan looked at Cui Xiaohua suspiciously. "He's rich. My uncle sends him pocket money and tickets every month.
Take my mother-in-law for example. My husband and several of his brothers-in-law give her money privately. Adding them together, it’s quite a bit. As far as I know, my husband can give her about one dollar every month.”
Cui Xiaohua didn't expect that Liu Shan's mother-in-law's family could be so weird. "Ah, you don't have any objections, and your other sisters-in-law don't have any objections either. Don't you want to save money for yourselves? Why do you have to spend money to support your brother-in-law?"
"I do have opinions, but it's useless. My mother-in-law is the one who makes the decisions in our family. We don't want our husband to support his younger brother, and he's not happy about it either."
Liu Shan actually had some objections, but she saw the reality clearly. At most, she would complain a few words in private to vent her anger, and would not make a fuss like the other sisters-in-law.
Besides, even if the matter is exposed, my husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law will not be on my side, and things will go on as they should in the future.
Cui Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "What about your brother-in-law after he gets married? Will you continue to control him?"
Liu Shan nodded. "Our family hasn't split up yet, but we don't have to continue to manage it. If we split up, I don't think my husband and his brothers would sit idly by and watch their brother suffer. They might even think of ways to get him a temporary or regular job."
Cui Xiaohua said thoughtfully, "Whoever marries your brother-in-law will enjoy happiness."
Liu Shan: "That's right, but my brother-in-law has very high standards and doesn't like ordinary people."
"Sister Liu, what do you think of me? My mother is trying to find a husband for me. Why don't you introduce me to your brother-in-law? After all, I have a city hukou, and I have a job."
Cui Xiaohua was eager to try and promoted herself hard. After all, there were not many good men these days. Oh, no, there were not many good families.
Liu Shan waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, you can't do that. You can't do the first request of my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law."
Cui Xiaohua was not very happy. She didn't even despise her brother because he was a country bumpkin, but you guys still despise me. "What are your requirements? Just tell me. What if I can do it?"
"You're twenty years old this year, and you haven't even finished junior high school. My brother-in-law doesn't like people who are older than him or have lower education than him."
Liu Shan heard from her husband last night about the things Li Zhaodi had done.
Jiang He even repeated the conversation between the two of them to his wife word for word, and Liu Shan also remembered a few sentences.
When Cui Xiaohua heard this, she stomped her feet in unhappiness and ignored Liu Shan.
Liu Shan didn't care. They were just chatting and she happened to be tired.
After Jiang Hao and Liu Cuihua had eaten and drunk their fill, they said hello to Liu Shan and took Jiang Dong to where the ox cart was parked.
When he arrived at the Red Star Brigade, Jiang Hao didn't even go home. He gave the backpack to Liu Cuihua and rushed to the educated youth site with his lunch box.
It was still early today, so Jiang Hao didn't knock on the window and walked in through the main door.
Shi Luo was cooking when he heard a knock on the door. He quickly ran over to open the door and said, "Hey, didn't you go to the commune?"
Jiang Hao raised the lunch box in his hand and said, "Yes, I'm back. I brought you some delicious food, spicy fried octopus from the state-owned restaurant."
"Come in quickly, it's cold outside. Have you eaten? I steamed bacon rice and made beef bone soup today. Do you want to eat together?" Shi Luo took the lunch box and quickly let Jiang Hao into the house.
Jiang Hao smelled the aroma of food in the room and wanted to eat, but he couldn't eat anymore. "I'll have a bowl of soup. I won't eat. I've already eaten at the state-owned restaurant."
Shi Luo put the lunch box directly on the stove to heat it up, and then poured a bowl of soup for Jiang Hao before he poured himself some bacon rice and started eating.
Shi Luo saw that the octopus was hot and took a bite. "Hey, this is quite delicious. I didn't expect the chef of the state-owned restaurant here to be so good."
"You've been here for so long and haven't eaten yet? Why don't you wait until the weather gets warmer and they have delicious food there? I'll take you there to eat."
Jiang Hao looked at Shi Luo with a bit of heartache.
Shi Luo raised his eyebrows. "No, I haven't been there. When I first arrived, it was almost winter. I went up the mountain to collect firewood every day, so I had almost no time to go to the commune. Later, when I had time to go, I couldn't remember to eat at the state-owned restaurant when I got there."
Jiang Hao felt even more distressed and said with certainty, "I will definitely take you there when it warms up."
Shi Luo said while eating, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal then. After all, I've eaten your food so many times."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Jiang Hao thought to himself that he would never let his wife pay for a meal out.
Shi Luo: "By the way, don't send me anything at night. I see the snow is getting heavier and heavier. It's too dangerous to go out at night. If you want to see me in the future, just come during the day. You don't need to bring food. I have everything I need."
Jiang Hao nodded and said, "Then I'll come during the day."
As for whether to take the things or not, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.
Shi Luo wanted to wash the dishes after dinner, but Jiang Hao snatched them away and washed them clean.
Shi Luo picked up the two clean lunch boxes and put the remaining bacon rice into them, filling both boxes up exactly.
When Shi Luo was cooking, he planned to make enough for two days, so there was some extra.
"This is for you and your parents to eat tonight. It's a good opportunity for you to try my cooking skills."
Shi Luo thought that it was inappropriate to always accept gifts without giving anything in return. Besides, the captain was very nice to him, and it was not easy for Aunt Cuihua to cook for him. Well, two boxes of bacon rice were not a bad deal.
Jiang Hao didn't really want it. After all, white rice and meat were hard to buy. If he took them away, the educated youth would have nothing to eat.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
Shi Luo nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have a lot. I brought all the food from home with me when I went to the countryside this time. This is not a big deal."
Jiang Hao felt relieved after hearing this and stopped refusing.
If the young educated youth really needs something in the future, I can deliver it to him myself.
The two of them stayed in the house for a long time. Jiang Hao took his lunch box and went home because it was getting dark.
