Chapter 167: I would have been blind to marry you, and I regret it now
If it were any other woman, she would have exploded long ago, but Pan Wenlan smiled softly, as if she had no temper, "My mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter."
"Wow, the saying that the palm and the back of the hand are both flesh is false. The flesh on the palm and the flesh on the back of the hand are different after all."
"Wenlan, listen to my sister-in-law's advice. You have to be more careful. I saw your mother-in-law carrying pork to the matchmaker's house in our village. You didn't get this treatment when you married into the Jiang family."
Pan Wenlan was not stupid. Her mother-in-law had told her that Sang Ning had gone to join the army after she got married and did not live at home.
Besides, my brother-in-law is a soldier, and he sends some of his allowance home every month to buy clothes and snacks for Pan'an.
Sang Ning was also a good person. When she got married, she was said to have houses in Lu City and Jing City as her dowry. Pan Wenlan boasted that her dowry was not as good as Sang Ning's, so how could she be jealous?
But she couldn't tell it now, Pan Wenlan thought, if she told it now, someone might compete with her brother-in-law for her wife.
Let's wait until Sang Ning gets married. By then, everyone's faces will surely be uglier than the other.
Why should I worry about it? Sang Ning has enough food and drink, and Pan Wenlan still has to build good relationships with others.
I won't listen to the gossipy women in the village trying to sow discord.
So no matter what they said, Pan Wenlan was very calm. After talking for a long time, the women's mouths became dry, but Pan Wenlan didn't even give them a look, so they were so disappointed that they couldn't continue talking.
After Pan Wenlan left, he couldn't help but spit, "Foolish, the eldest brother of the Jiang family is a fool."
How can sisters-in-law live in harmony? If Pan Wenlan had not listened to the advice of experienced people, she would have regretted it sooner or later.
Everyone knew about it, and there was no way Luo Yiping didn't know about it. When he heard the news, he put on his clothes with a gloomy face and left without saying a word.
Zhao Jiayun, who was lying on the bed with her baby, didn't even raise her eyelids, knowing that he was unhappy and went out to drink again. The moment she opened the door, a cold wind blew into the room.
Zhao Jiayun shrank his neck and let the quilts on both sides wrap around him tightly. "Go ahead, go ahead, drink yourself to death outside, so you don't have to come back and vomit on the bed."
Luo Yiping has this bad habit when he is drunk. He vomits when he is drunk. He is smart enough to vomit inside the house because it is warm inside. After vomiting, he falls into a deep sleep.
Zhao Jiayun was left unable to sleep due to the smell of alcohol. Sometimes, she had to clean the room late at night with a bulging belly.
No matter how many times he quarreled with Luo Yiping, he would never change. Sometimes when the quarrel got too intense, Luo Yiping would even lose his temper and say, "You are so idle that you can't sleep in the middle of the night. What's wrong with me sweeping the house tomorrow?"
"I'm asking you to do some work, but you're still complaining. Next time I get drunk, I'll clean it myself and I don't want you to do it."
That being said, in the middle of winter, if you don't clean up the vomit in time after vomiting, it will freeze into ice. A large pool of vomit will freeze together in the house. Zhao Jiayun feels disgusted just thinking about it.
Zhao Jiayun closed her eyes and continued to lie there, knowing that Luo Yiping still couldn't let go of Chu Sangning. She felt angry but also happy at the same time.
In his last life, he became the richest man because of Chu Sangning. In this life, he is tied to himself. He has to farm and suffer. This is what Luo Yiping owes him.
Luo Yiping went out for a long time and did not come back until the evening. He was so drunk that he could not walk steadily and staggered with every step. When he came back, he went straight to the kitchen.
Zhao Jiayun knew he had returned, so she deliberately didn't leave any rice for him. She didn't finish the dumplings from lunch, so she heated them up and ate them again. There was no rice left in the pot.
Luo Yiping was indeed angry, and he pushed open the door and started to question: "I...I'm back, why didn't you leave any food for me?"
"Cook for me...cook for me, go cook."
Zhao Jiayun would not move. It was such a cold day and the water outside had frozen into ice. The ground was the most slippery at this time. She would have to be crazy to go out.
"No, there are dumplings in the basket. If you want to eat them, go and eat them yourself."
Luo Yiping was already drunk, and he was still making dumplings? Of course it was impossible. During the verbal battle with Zhao Jiayun, he blurted out: "I, Luo Yiping, must have been blind to marry you. If I had known this would happen, I would rather have let you drown."
Zhao Jiayun was so angry that he was shaking all over when hearing such unlucky words being said on New Year's Day. If he had known that Luo Yiping would be like this, Zhao Jiayun would not have plotted against him even if he hadn't said it himself.
Not to mention marrying him and having children for him.
An angry person is irrational. Since Luo Yiping said so, Zhao Jiayun was not afraid at all. "You only dare to be arrogant in front of me. Chu Sang would rather marry a cripple than you."
"If you ask me, Chu Sangning has good vision. She knows that you are a man with no ability. I am the blind one who would marry you."
Luo Yiping had a fierce face. When he heard Zhao Jiayun poking at his heart, he raised his hand in rage and actually hit him.
"Ah——" Zhao Jiayun covered his face, "Luo Yiping, if you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death."
It only took the two of them about ten minutes from arguing to fighting, and this originally festive holiday was spent in their quarrel.
Not everyone was like the Luo family. Jiang Xingyan and Chu Sangning also had dumplings for dinner. He Shulan specially made the vegetable-stuffed dumplings that her niece liked, and started to keep watch after eating.
This is the custom of the Chinese New Year. From New Year's Day until midnight, people have to stay awake the whole time. This is called vigil, and it also means that the new year is about to come.
Jiang Xingyan brought the little girl to his yard, holding a few fireworks sticks, "Sang Ning, do you want to light the fireworks now or later?"
"What kind of fireworks sticks are these? These are fairy sticks. I want to light them now."
Jiang Xingyan obediently ordered and walked to the side, watching the little girl jumping and spinning in circles in front of him with a fairy wand in her hand. Her eyes were sparkling and Jiang Xingyan was fascinated.
"Jiang Xingyan, does it look good?" Chu Sangning looked at the little sparks blooming in front of her, and smiled happily in front of Jiang Xingyan.
But she probably didn't know that in Jiang Xingyan's eyes, he could no longer see the beauty of the fireworks. What he saw was his own smile, which was more beautiful than the fireworks.
Seeing Chu Sangning coming out, the children in the building who could no longer stay awake also clamored to come out. Today was New Year's Day and they couldn't beat the children, but seeing that the children wanted to play, the parents were willing to let them go.
"You can go down, but come back up early, okay?"
"Wear something warmer, it's cold outside, and don't play around and get your clothes wet."
The children went downstairs in groups, and Chu Sangning generously distributed fairy wands to them so that everyone could play together.
Xu's mother looked disdainful from the window upstairs. "What are you playing for? It's so cold outside. You are really a bunch of idiots."
