Chapter 26 Complaints - The Sickly Young Girl Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
The next day was the day Jiang Yang and Lin Shu had agreed to propose marriage.
Jiang Yang also took leave early because of the marriage proposal, but his mother had just injured her hand and was still in the hospital, and he himself had bruises all over his face. What should he do?
Do we want to let him propose marriage with this appearance?
Moreover, his mother was absent on the day of the proposal, which was not good either. But not going to propose would not be good either. He had told others about this matter when he asked for leave from the factory, and he was very proud that he was going to marry a beautiful wife again. It is estimated that most people in the factory have heard about him now. Unfortunately, his mother's fight last night disrupted it, and his proposal might cause trouble again. It's really bad!
At this moment, all the resentment in his heart was directed at Aunt Jiang. He thought, if Aunt Jiang had not behaved so recklessly, first provoking Mr. Cen's wife and then provoking Aunt Gu, he would not have had to pay one medical bill after another yesterday.
This makes him feel a little sad when he thinks about the money now. If he wants to propose marriage now, he still has to discuss the bride price with the girl. But now his mother is injured and cannot be there, and the girl may find something wrong. What if she takes the opportunity to ask for a higher bride price?
Zhang Mei and Lin Shu woke up early in the morning to clean the house, determined to leave a good impression on their future son-in-law.
Mother Lin was old and slept less, so she got up early. Seeing the mother and daughter acting like this reminded her of when Cen Xi came to propose marriage. She seemed to be busy all the time. At that time, both mother and daughter were lazy about doing things, but now they are busy.
But she didn't care. She ate breakfast early and went out. She was already so old, it wouldn't be good for the mother and daughter to enslave her to do work, right?
Over the years, she didn't want her daughter to be estranged from her brother, and she was also afraid that her daughter would have a hard time at home, so she had been patient with the mother and daughter and didn't embarrass her too much. When Lin Shu wanted to snatch Jiang Yang, the blind date partner, she really wanted to get angry, but her daughter was always so sensible and mediated the conflict between them and her eldest brother, as she didn't want them as parents.
Now that my daughter is married, it's time for her to take good care of herself in her old age. In two years, my old man will also retire, and they can both enjoy their old age.
She had already thought it through. After the old man retired, he would still have a pension and would not need to rely on his son for a living. The pension would be enough for her and the old man to live on.
Besides, her daughter is not the kind of person who would cut off ties with her parents' family after getting married. Her daughter must be eager for her and her old man to live with them!
When Mother Lin thought about the private conversation they had the night before her wedding, when her daughter said that she really wanted to marry her and the old man together, she felt infinitely comforted.
From now on, she has to enjoy her life and take good care of her body, because she will have to raise her daughter and grandchildren in the future!
As for her son's family, if they recognize them, let them live with her. If they don't, let them get out. Anyway, the house belongs to her and the old man.
Zhang Mei saw Lin's mother got up early and thought she was going to help, but after everyone finished breakfast, her father-in-law went to work and her mother-in-law disappeared as well.
"Why is your grandma like this? We are both so busy, and she doesn't even lend a hand!" Zhang Mei complained to Lin Shu.
Lin Shu also complained to Lin's mother. After all, she still remembered what Lin's mother said yesterday, and Lin's mother had emphasized it again during dinner last night.
Really, if you don’t want to come out, then don’t come out. Who is begging them to do it? Humph!
Zhang Mei became angry when she saw that her daughter did not join in criticizing her mother-in-law, and she turned around and vented her anger on Lin Feng.
"Look at your mother. When your brother-in-law came to propose marriage, she was busy running around. Now that it's your daughter's turn, she's just doing nothing. How can she be a nurse like this?"
Lin Feng was also feeling a bit depressed. Zhang Mei had been nagging him these past two days. After nagging him so much, he realized very clearly how much of a difference his parents treated his younger sister and his daughter-in-law. He couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. Why did they treat his daughter-in-law and his younger sister so differently?
Mother Lin had just walked downstairs when she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to take some things, so she wandered back home. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the house, she heard her daughter-in-law complaining about her. And judging from her son's expression, he probably regarded them as complaints from his parents!
She couldn't help feeling desolate in her heart. Although her daughter was caring, her son was also a piece of her flesh and blood. Although her son had been silent for many years and his wife was always making trouble, she understood that it was the eldest son who was deliberately indulging her. If they really respected their parents, why would they allow their daughter-in-law to be so provocative?
Lin Feng and Zhang Mei didn't pay attention to the door, so they didn't see Lin's mother sticking half of her body out. But Lin Shu turned around and saw her.
Lin Shu was in a panic and could still clearly hear her mother complaining about her milk.
"Mom——" Lin Shu called out quickly to stop her mother from continuing.
"What the hell are you shouting for? Why are you shouting so loudly?" Zhang Mei was already irritated, and this shouting made her even more irritated so she cursed.
Zhang Mei turned around and saw Lin's mother standing at the door not far behind her. Although Lin's mother was discovered, she did not panic and walked in slowly step by step.
In contrast, Zhang Mei was panicked. Looking at her mother-in-law's expression, could it be that she had heard her complaint just now?
"Mom?" Zhang Mei forced an awkward smile and called out.
Lin Feng was also stunned this time. He didn't expect his mother to suddenly appear.
"I didn't expect that you, Zhang Mei, would blame me so much? Boss, do you think so too?"
Lin Feng's face turned slightly pale and he shook his head quickly, "No, no..." But no matter how he denied it now, it would be of no avail. His expression just now had already explained everything.
"In that case, after you've arranged Lin Shu's wedding, you and your family should move out!" Lin's mother made the final decision.
Mother Lin didn't want to argue with them anymore. Just from the resentful looks on their faces, she knew that it would be impossible to rely on them for support in her old age. It was better that she saw it clearly earlier. It was better that she saw it clearly earlier!
Talk to the old man about this when he gets home from get off work.
"Mom, how can we do this? We will have to support you in your old age, how can we move out?" Zhang Mei didn't want to move out. If she moved out, it would not be as comfortable as at home. Besides, they would have to pay rent if they moved out. There was already a house at home, so how could she let them move out?
No, absolutely not, you can't move out.
When I think about how much the old couple loves their sister-in-law, what if the house is given to her in the future?
Lin Feng was also unwilling to move out. He was the only male in the family. If his parents kicked him out, wouldn’t that mean they were unfilial?
It would be bad if this crime was brought against me!
