Chapter 784: Mother Lu Teaches Daughter-in-law
Seeing her second daughter-in-law, Mother Lu had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, she was angry at Long Xing's disobedience, which made her, a woman who had worked as the women's director in the brigade for more than 20 years, feel embarrassed.
On the other hand, everything Long Xing did was, from a broader perspective, also to help the Lu family expand.
Although she was in a bad mood, her heart softened involuntarily when she saw the mother and daughter who were as thin as monkeys.
Anyway, the child has been born, and she knows that there is no point in saying anything. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it is good enough.
"Okay, there's nothing to be sorry about."
"I want to have a baby so that the Lu family can prosper. If I have a daughter, she will also be a hero to the Lu family."
"You were so stubborn about wanting to have a son, but now you gave birth to a daughter. This can only mean that Qingmiao is destined to be with our Lu family."
"Mom won't say much. Just take good care of the children and live a good life with Sanmao."
"Raise her well, and a daughter is no worse than a son. Think about your sister-in-law, she is also someone's daughter."
"The Xu family would not trade a daughter like her for ten sons. Remember what I said and raise the child well."
After giving what needed to be given and saying what needed to be said, Mother Lu left Long Xing's room.
Lu Qiumei twisted a towel and gave it to Long Xing: "Long Xing, should you feel relieved now?"
"I told you, my aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
"Don't cry, you're still in confinement. If you cry too much during confinement, your eyes will shed tears when you get older."
"I just saw that your parents brought back a lot of food. They must be for you."
"Long Xing, if a woman can meet a pair of such parents-in-law in her lifetime, it means that we women have made up for the sky in our previous life."
"Listen to your mother and live a good life."
This time, Long Xing learned his lesson.
She knew that her mother-in-law was very kind to her.
It’s just such a pity, it would have been great if this baby was a son.
If a woman doesn't have a son, who will take care of her in her old age?
But Long Xing would not let others know her worries. She nodded and said, "Sister Qiu Mei, I will. I will definitely live a good life."
In the hall, Father Lu and Lu Sanmao were also talking, and they also mentioned the issue of fines.
"Follow the government's requirements and pay the fine. Don't bargain. This is your fault first."
"Your mother has been the director of women's affairs for more than 20 years. You two should not embarrass her."
"Your sister Qiu Mei is an honest person. She is willing to help you all the time, so you can hire her for a long time."
"Dad and Mom don't have much money, and all the food and drinks are from your eldest brother and sister-in-law. You will have to live on your own from now on."
Lu Sanmao's face was full of guilt.
"Dad, we have money. I made a net profit of more than 800 yuan from the batch of pigs sold in July."
"This batch is bigger than the last one. I estimate I can make more than a thousand."
"Don't worry about money, you and mom. We will live a good life."
Okay, your children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don’t be a slave for them.
Father Lu didn't say much.
Because their daughter-in-law was an extra child, Lu's mother and father personally went to the homes of the secretary, village director, and women's director with gifts to apologize.
The family planning policy was just in its infancy and not so strict yet, so everyone said it was no big deal.
But when they heard that the Lu family's eldest quadruplets could walk and talk at only nine months old, everyone was envious.
I went to Xu's house in the afternoon to visit my grandparents.
Because Long Xing had been living with her aunt in a neighboring county during the later stages of the family planning policy, the two elders only then knew that Long Xing had given birth.
"well enough?"
Mother Lu smiled bitterly: "Mom, how good can this child who hides everywhere be?"
"You didn't see it, she's as thin as a kitten. It makes me sad just looking at her."
Grandma Xu sighed and said, "Okay, two is fine. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. The two sisters will have a companion in the future."
"We won't go to the army for the time being."
"Later, I'll go see the kids later."
"By the way, is Qiu Ling okay?"
After all, she is her granddaughter, so Grandma Xu couldn't help but ask.
Mother Lu nodded: "Very well, her child is also growing strong, like a calf."
"Qiu Ling's mother-in-law and husband are both honest people and treat her very well."
"Since March this year, Qiu Ling's man has been working as a long-term worker in Zi Jin's cousin's garden, earning thirty yuan a month."
"When I have free time, I can go home and do some farm work."
That's good, that's good.
There is no reason for her not to care about her granddaughter. After hearing this, Grandma Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your second brother has not come back since he went to the brick factory over there. Is he doing well there?"
At the beginning of May, Xiong Mazi built a large brick factory and was looking for a kiln master. It just so happened that Uncle Xu was an expert in this field.
Mother Lu wanted to help her younger brother, so she asked her eldest daughter-in-law to recommend him.
"Don't worry, mom. My second brother is doing well there."
"I heard from Zijin that he is the master chef there, with food and lodging provided, and he can earn 60 yuan a month."
ah?
sixty?
Grandma Xu was surprised: "Isn't this too high?"
"The master craftsman at the brick factory in the township government provides his own food and lodging, and only earns 40 yuan a month."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "This is different. Boss Xiong is a man who can do big things."
"Zi Jin told her second uncle that as long as he works hard, Boss Xiong will definitely not treat him unfairly in the future."
Why don’t you work hard with such a high income?
Grandma Xu thought, unless the second child is a fool!
"Don't let his shrewish wife know about this salary, or she'll make a scene."
But just as he finished speaking, a figure flashed outside the door...
The mother and daughter were startled, and just as they were about to ask who it was, Grandpa Xu walked in.
"Wan San and I will go to the fish pond and see if we can catch a few fish and bring them over to them."
Grandma Xu nodded and said, "Go ahead and get as much as you can. They rarely come back, so it's hard to get them to eat."
"Um."
Grandpa Xu is gone.
Mother Lu and Grandma Xu continued the previous topic: "Don't worry, mother, I won't let her know."
"My second brother's salary is only 30 yuan per month, including food and accommodation, and the other 30 yuan is called a bonus."
"Only he knows about this reward, no one else knows."
That’s good, that’s good.
Grandma Xu is afraid of her daughters-in-law.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time, and then Grandpa Xu and Father Lu came back, both empty-handed.
"What's wrong? Didn't catch any?"
Grandpa Xu nodded and said, "No, it rained so hard the past two days, and the water in the pond is too deep."
The water is so deep that it would take at least half a day to drain it, which is impossible.
Grandma Xu heaved a long sigh and said, "Then go catch a few more chickens and put all the eggs in the bag. Food you raise yourself is more nutritious."
"Lan Fang, send two to Qiu Ling as well."
Lu Ma also knows my mother's temper. If she says she will give it to you and you don't accept it, she will be sad.
"OK."
