Chapter 438 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (6)
Zhao Shuwen was indeed choked speechless by Liu Zongqiang's words. After all, she used to think that her mother-in-law was just taking care of the children and doing housework, which was not hard at all. But only when she experienced it herself did she realize how hard it was to take care of children and do housework. Those trivial matters and chores seemed to be small things and seemed to be easy to do, but when they were really done, they could make people so annoyed that they wanted to tear the house apart.
"Your mother is great! I'm not as great as her, okay? Don't try to push all the household chores to me. This home and son are yours too! You have to share the household chores and do the housework!" Zhao Shuwen is not a submissive wife. She has her own ideas and refused to compromise after suffering for a few days.
Liu Zongqiang didn't want to pay for a nanny, so he just said, "Okay, I'll help you with the housework and take care of the children when I get home from get off work."
As soon as he finished speaking, his son Liu Zixuan started crying. Zhao Shuwen immediately turned away with a headache and said to Liu Zongqiang, "Go and comfort him!"
Liu Zongqiang had no choice but to go, and then he clumsily changed his son's dirty diaper, and hurriedly applied cream to his son's butt. After he finished, he was already sweating. He felt that working overtime in the company was easier than this.
"Take the garbage downstairs and throw it away. Our son's diapers are so smelly that the whole house is stink." Zhao Shuwen pinched her nose and instructed.
"I'm going to throw it?" Liu Zongqiang asked in disbelief.
"If you don't throw it away, who will? You are his father, isn't it your responsibility to throw away his diaper? I still have to feed him, so stop dawdling. Can't you smell the stench?" Zhao Shuwen said impatiently.
When Chen Shichu was here, the house had never smelled the smell of his son's poop. I guess it was because he dealt with the dirty diapers early on, which kept the air in the house fresh.
It was only at this moment that Liu Zongqiang realized that his mother had really done a lot to give him a comfortable and clean home. He felt guilty and sighed, then pinched his nose and went downstairs to throw away his son's diapers.
After going downstairs, he was dumbfounded when he saw the trash bins with complete labels and different categories: What category of trash do diapers belong to?
While Liu Zongqiang and Zhao Shuwen were overwhelmed by various trivial matters at home, Chen Shichu had already renovated the house. She now runs around the village road every morning to exercise. The villagers passing by laughed at her and said that she had stayed in the city for a month and learned all the ways of the city people, and she still ran to exercise. She was really asking for trouble. She might as well go up the mountain to chop some firewood with that energy.
Chen Shichu couldn't help laughing when he heard these words, but he didn't take them to heart. After all, everyone was just joking, and everyone was living a good life now. Who doesn't have a smart phone? The videos on mobile phones show all kinds of lifestyles. Some city dwellers have very strange ways of exercising, such as tying their chins and necks with ropes and hanging themselves on trees; others tie their feet to a horizontal bar and then spin around the bar 360 degrees, which can scare the people watching to death; and some people bang their heads against tree trunks, saying that trees have some kind of spiritual energy that can be transmitted to the body through the head, which is good for health preservation...
In comparison, Chen Shichu was just running and was not noticeable at all.
In addition to regular daily exercise, Chen Shichu also planted many plants on the ground next to the house, including vegetables for herself and her favorite flowers. In just a few months, a beautiful and vibrant country house appeared.
Chen Shichu slowly adjusted her body by exercising and taking medicine. Not only did she get rid of the various chronic diseases left over from the original owner, but she also made her complexion rosy and shiny. She looked radiant. Now, as long as she doesn't tell people her age, people won't know that she is already a grandmother. They will just think she is a mature lady in her thirties.
Naturally, everyone noticed the completely transformed Chen Shichu, so a matchmaker came to her house. Beautiful widows are always popular among bachelors.
"Sister Chen, do you want to find another man?" Matchmaker Li asked directly as she entered the door. They were all young and experienced, so naturally they said whatever they wanted.
"No, I don't want to be a stepmother, I don't want to serve a stinky man, I just want to be free and do whatever I want, and not do anything if I don't want to." Chen Shichu said firmly.
Matchmaker Chen choked. She understood this logic and even agreed with it. However, she was here to persuade someone to remarry, so she couldn't just agree with it. She used her skills and advised earnestly: "Sister, you are still so young, are you willing to live alone? No one warms your bed at night, the house is cold and lonely, and there is no one to sit at the table and talk to when you eat. Don't you feel lonely?"
"I don't think so." Chen Shichu is single. "I like this quiet life very much."
"...Don't be so stubborn. Don't you envy other families who have such a lively family?" Matchmaker Li looked like she was thinking of her. "Your son can't take care of you in the city. He must be taking care of his own family. If you fall down at home, there will be no one to help you up... Even if it's just for the sake of having someone to take care of you, you have to find someone else. At least there's someone to pour water for you when you're sick, right?"
"Auntie Li, do you want to harm me? At my age, I can only find someone older than me. But if I find someone older than me, is it him who takes care of me or me? It should be me who takes care of him, right? Then what do I want? To be a nanny in someone else's house who doesn't ask for money? You see that I am living too comfortably, so you want to kick me into the mud, right? Why don't you have good intentions? Why don't I live a good life and serve a stinky man? You are jealous of me, right?" Chen Shichu kept saying this until Matchmaker Li's face turned red and she couldn't refute it at all.
"No, that's not what I meant. How could I harm you? The man I'm introducing to you is Liang Dashi from the neighboring village. He is only in his fifties and very healthy and strong. Why does he need your service? He has three sons and a daughter-in-law. You don't have to do any housework. You just need to be a leisurely mother-in-law. Isn't this a good marriage?" Matchmaker Li quickly told her candidate.
"Bah! His family has three sons and three daughters-in-law. You really want to kill me, don't you? How can other people's sons and daughters-in-law be nice to their stepmother? If they are young and naive, they can be tamed. But these sons are married and have children. They must hate their stepmother. They are young and strong. If they want to torture me, I can't even say anything. My life is in their hands... If you are not harming me, what are you? Get out of here now. I won't look for another one. If you don't get out, I will not be polite and beat you up..."
Chen Shichu mercilessly drove Li the matchmaker out. How desperate and stupid must she be to find another man and ask for trouble? It's not like she can't live without a man.
