Chapter 47 She is no longer an ordinary person in the eyes of Mrs. Ma
The task of dealing with Xiao Lao Er still has to be left to Old Lady Ma and Xiao Beiming.
Xiao Laoer is not as simple-minded as Xiao Laosan. Xiao Laoer is very cunning. If you want to mess up the relationship between Xiao Laoer and Hu Xiaolan and guide Xiao Laoer to get on the right track, you have to put in more effort.
At present, Xiao Laoer must quickly break up with Hu Xiaolan.
She didn't want Xiao Laoer to support Hu Xiaolan anymore. Although she was not short of money, she didn't want to waste it.
Old Mrs. Ma was so upset that she couldn't sleep at night, calculating how much pork she would need to buy and how many meals she would have to eat with that much money!
So, in the early morning, when Sang Fei was half asleep, he heard bursts of wailing.
Xiao Laoer sneaked home in the early morning, afraid of waking up his eldest brother and getting beaten.
But then he thought about what Hu Xiaolan had told him.
He wanted to talk to his mother, say some bad things about Sang Feiwan, and encourage his mother to ask Sang Feiwan for money to help him pay the betrothal gift.
I ended up having a meal of fried meat on a wooden stick.
"Give me my money back! Move all the things and the TV back! Otherwise, don't come back to this house, and I won't have a son like you!" Old Mrs. Ma gave Xiao Laoer a death order.
Xiao Laoer couldn't believe it, "Mom! I'm your biological son! You let your son do this, do you want your son to be unable to find a wife and remain a bachelor?!"
"Big brother also asked you for three thousand when he got married. You can't be partial!"
Old Madam Ma was even more furious. She chased him with a stick in hand and beat him, "How dare you accuse me of partiality! I'd rather not have given birth to a debt collector like you!"
"I haven't seen you give me a penny in all these years, and you haven't done any housework. You've never cared about the difficulties of being a mother like me and even thought of buying me new clothes!"
"Your sister-in-law, who wasn't born and raised by me, is more filial than you! You actually gave away the TV she gave me! And you even gave away the fur coat she bought for me. You have no heart at all!"
The more she spoke, the more distressed she became.
She has spent her whole life for her children, so she has no complaints no matter how much she has to pay.
But the son she raised had no sympathy for her at all. He treated a stranger like a treasure and treated her like a workhorse. He kept asking her for money and accused her of being biased.
How could this not make her feel chilled?
Sang Feiwan couldn't sleep well after hearing the noise, so she snuggled into Xiao Beiming's arms.
It's really cold at home, more than ten degrees below zero.
Before coming back, Xiao Beiming was thoughtful enough to buy an electric blanket.
An electric blanket costs only over 200 yuan, which is cheaper and easier to buy than an air conditioner.
She fell asleep on the electric blanket, with Xiao Beiming holding her and covering her ears. She felt warm and continued to sleep.
Old Mrs. Ma and Pingping slept on the kang in the kitchen. When the weather was cold, the whole family slept on this kang.
The next morning, Mrs. Ma started sweeping the yard early.
Pingping also started to heat up the meal and boil water for washing clothes, and Xiao Beiming also helped to wash.
The brother and sister even fought over how to wash Sang Feiwan's clothes.
This scene made Mrs. Ma’s face turn dark.
Even though her daughter-in-law is sweet-mouthed and filial to her, she can't stand her daughter-in-law ordering her son and daughter around like that.
What's the difference between this and two servants serving a rich young lady?!
Also, her son's mind was confused due to being coaxed, and it would be fine if he was willing to serve his wife, but since Pingping didn't hurry up to read a book and serve Sang Feiwan, she couldn't continue reading!
She stood outside Sang Feiwan's room and shouted, "Why are you showing off your room so early in the morning? It's so late and you're still not up?!"
"I don't even expect you to do housework, so why do you have to order others to do your own things? You leave the clothes to your husband and sister to wash. How unreasonable..."
Before she could finish her words, Pingping pulled her aside.
"Mom! Keep your voice down and don't disturb my sister-in-law. She's recording English words and conversations in her room with a tape recorder."
"My sister-in-law is tutoring me in English, so I wash her clothes. Mom, please stop scolding her."
Mrs. Ma was surprised. "She knows English?"
"Mom, my sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in a big city. She has been to college and even lived abroad." Pingping spoke proudly on behalf of Sang Feiwan.
Only then did Mrs. Ma realize that Sang Feiwan, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, was not just pretentious, lazy and incapable of housework; she was also an educated person who had attended university and traveled abroad!
In their place, it is rare to find people who graduate from high school, and they can become elementary school teachers after graduation.
College students, but there was not even one in their entire village and town last year.
Old Mrs. Ma stared at the door of the room in shock. She listened to the light foreign voice coming from the room and it took her a long time to recover.
Pingping continued, "Mom, please keep your voice down at home from now on, and don't talk about my sister-in-law anymore. Not only does she have to help me with my English, she's also busy tutoring my older brother. It's very tiring."
"If you really make my sister-in-law unhappy, it will be bad if she doesn't give me and my brother extra lessons."
Old Madam Ma was a little surprised. "Your eldest brother is also taking tutoring? He's already in the army, why would he need tutoring?"
Pingping explained to her, "Because big brother needs a bachelor's degree to get promoted. The country now requires people from all walks of life to have a degree. Isn't there someone in our village who changed his job and came back?"
"It's that Big Lei brother. I heard that he failed the exam and was asked to change his job."
Old Mrs. Ma had also heard about this a few times.
The village is so small that if something happens to someone's family, the whole village will know about it.
She had also heard about the large number of soldiers who had retired recently. Every squad leader had to take an exam, and those who failed had to retire.
But since her son didn't come back, she thought that her son didn't need to take the exam to get an official rank, or that her son had already passed the exam.
Anyway, she was so careless that she didn't even call to ask.
Only now did she realize that her eldest son's job in the army was not a stable one and he also had to take exams.
"Then you, you should go quickly with your eldest brother, hang up the clothes, and then go to your sister-in-law for tutoring. Study hard!" Old Mrs. Ma pushed Pingping anxiously and nervously.
She herself hurried to do her own thing.
Before setting up the stall, he left a big bowl of fried chicken for Sang Feiwan.
Sang Feiwan treats her daughter and son well, so she will naturally treat Sang Feiwan well.
Now, she no longer had any opinion about Sang Feiwan.
Laziness and affectation are no problem when it comes to helping her son and daughter study.
As she served the fried chicken to Sang Feiwan, she coaxed her, "Wanwan, Mom has a bad mouth and said something bad about you, so don't hold it against me. You won't have to work in our house anymore. I'll make whatever you want for dinner right away."
Sang Feiwan felt that there was light in the eyes of Old Lady Ma when she looked at her, as if she was no longer an ordinary person in Old Lady Ma's eyes.
After Old Mrs. Ma left, Xiao Beiming and Pingping came in again after a while.
Sang Feiwan quickly said to Xiao Beiming, "Husband, come quickly, my hands are frozen, warm them for me."
"Brother just finished washing clothes, so his hands should be even colder. I told him to stop washing and come in to accompany you, or to read his book quickly. He has much more to catch up on than I do." Pingping said.
"But my brother is too stubborn. Sister-in-law, you have to talk to him. Next time, don't compete with me to wash your clothes. This is my job."
Sang Feiwan didn't tell them about this.
Whoever wants to wash can wash, as long as she is not allowed to wash. What is there to fight over when doing work?
At this time, Xiao Beiming walked up to Sang Feiwan, rubbed his hands, and then rubbed Sang Feiwan's.
But it didn't work.
Xiao Beiming simply put her hand into his clothes on his chest.
Seeing this, Pingping said, "Sister-in-law, let me pour the water bag to warm your hands."
Pingping looked for a hot water bottle, but couldn't find where it was.
She remembered it on the kang.
Not finding it, she poured Sang Feiwan a cup of hot water and said, "Sister-in-law, hold the cup and cover it."
Xiao Beiming also poured a glass of water and handed it to Sang Feiwan at the same time as her.
Sang Feiwan chose the cup that Xiao Beiming handed her without hesitation, followed Pingping and said with a smile: "Pingping, I'll drink the water your brother poured. The water your brother poured is sweeter."
Xiao Beiming was happy in his heart but his face was serious, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my sister."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm telling the truth."
Pingping: “…”
It's the same water, how could the one poured by her elder brother be sweeter?
Also, isn't it for warming your hands?
The electric blanket was on all the time, but Sang Feiwan still felt cold and her feet didn't feel warm even though they were sweating.
Holding the cup of hot water, she asked Xiao Beiming to get on the bed and warm her feet.
The climate here is really not suitable for her, and now she is even more determined to move away.
When they were huddled in a room reading, Xiao Laoer came back stealthily.
Xiao Beiming felt Sang Feiwan was cold all over as he held her in his arms. He felt distressed and said to her with a frown, "Why don't you just bear with it. I'll clean up the kang in the kitchen. It's warm there."
"I'll find someone in town to install the radiator at home."
"Oh, okay." Sang Feiwan was still quiet because of the cold.
Just as Sang Feiwan followed Xiao Beiming from the bedroom to the kitchen, Pingping, who was following behind, saw Xiao Laoer sneaking around.
"Second brother?"
Xiao Laoer lingered at the door, not daring to come in.
When Xiao Laoer saw them, he finally mustered up the courage to go in.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Beiming told him to go to the town and find someone to install the heater.
"Okay! Big brother, leave it to me, don't worry!" Xiao Laoer immediately became energetic and very happy.
But he was only happy for a few seconds before Xiao Beiming urged him again: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly."
"No...Brother, you haven't given me the money yet." Xiao Laoer said.
Xiao Beiming replied, "You can have someone bring the equipment to my house and install it. I'll pay you after it's installed."
As his elder brother, Xiao Beiming naturally discovered that Xiao Lao Er would take kickbacks.
In this respect, Xiao Lao Er is smarter than Xiao Lao San. Xiao Lao San steals money, which is easy to be discovered; while Xiao Lao Er takes kickbacks secretly, which is not easy to be discovered.
