Chapter 401: The Sigh - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Wang Qiaomei had just returned and found the house quiet when she entered. She walked in and took a look, and her anger continued to rise.
The man inside is still sleeping like a pig. What time is it?
The sickly lazy woman next door had already gotten up, but Zhou Qin, a grown man, was still sleeping like a pig. Wang Qiaomei became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She walked up to him and grabbed his ear.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!" Zhou Qin screamed and opened his eyes.
"What are you doing, you bitch?"
"Sleep, sleep, sleep. What time is it? Are you still sleeping?"
Zhou Qin's face darkened. Can you blame him for sleeping so long? It was because this damn woman was so hungry in bed and kept asking for more.
"What do you care whether I get up or not?" Zhou Qin suddenly got angry and yelled.
Wang Qiaomei looked at the pig-faced man with a hint of disgust in her eyes. If she had had other options, would she have given herself to... ?
…
The quarrel between the two people directly woke up Mr. Zhou who was next door.
Looking at the sun outside the window, he knew it was getting late, so he quickly packed up and got up.
After wiping his face and walking out, he happened to see Wang Qiaomei who had just finished a quarrel, "Where is your Aunt Bai?"
Wang Qiaomei rolled her eyes slightly. How did she know where the old woman was going?
"I didn't know she went out so early in the morning. I guess she went to spoil her girlfriend again!" Wang Qiaomei guessed casually and put on some eye drops.
Mr. Zhou was a little unhappy, but he just frowned for a moment and then relaxed his frown. "What are you talking about? She is your aunt Bai's daughter. It is only natural for her to bring something to see her daughter."
Wang Qiaomei curled her lips and said, I don’t believe you!
"Okay, hurry up and cook! I'm starving."
Wang Qiaomei did not continue to argue with him. She opened the lid of the pot and found that no one had eaten the breakfast left for them in the morning. She also did not plan to make more. She steamed two more steamed buns made in the morning, fried some pickled vegetables, and added a cabbage. A simple lunch was ready.
Mother Zhou came back around noon and found that everyone had finished lunch and Wang Qiaomei was washing dishes in the yard.
"Wang Qiaomei, where's my lunch?"
"Didn't you go to see your daughter? Why didn't your daughter leave any food for you?" Wang Qiaomei asked sarcastically.
"You...what are you talking about? How can you say that? Your sister's family is having a hard time. If I stay for dinner, won't that just add to her burden?"
Wang Qiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "Whose family doesn't have a hard time? You brought a basket of things over this morning, and she doesn't want to give you a meal. That's unacceptable, isn't it?"
"You're still blaming me. Didn't you also bring a basket back to your parents' home? Then how can you have the nerve to come back for dinner?"
Wang Qiaomei said in a snorting voice: "Oh, isn't it because I came back early!" I made lunch, so of course I get to eat it!
"You you you..." Aunt Zhou was so angry at her words that she jumped to her feet.
"Aunt Bai, the food in our house is rationed. If you often subsidize your daughter, the food in the house will naturally not be enough for you." Wang Qiaomei finished washing the dishes, holding the basin and turned around to look at her and said.
When Wang Qiaomei turned around, she saw her father-in-law, Mr. Zhou, standing by the window watching. She thought for a moment and secretly put on some eye drops.
Aunt Zhou was shaking with anger.
Wang Qiaomei carried the basin gracefully and went home.
After being angry for a while, Aunt Zhou's stomach was growling with hunger, so she went into the kitchen and planned to make a simple lunch for herself.
Grandpa Zhou's voice rang out from the side, "Now that you're married, stop thinking about subsidizing your daughter. It goes without saying that if your daughter doesn't respect you, you'll have to subsidize her yourself. After all, our family isn't rich."
Aunt Zhou's eyes instantly turned red. "Why... do you say that?"
"I just think my daughter-in-law is right. It's really not good for you to do this." Grandpa Zhou ignored her emotions and continued to talk to himself: "We are both actively trying to have a child. If the child comes someday, how can we afford to raise him if you continue to be like this?"
Aunt Zhou's face froze, and she moved her mouth, wanting to make a few more excuses, but looking at his expression, she could only stammer, "...I know."
"Okay, hurry up and cook and eat! Don't starve yourself. How can you give birth to a son for me if you don't take good care of yourself?" After speaking, Uncle Zhou turned and went back to his room.
Aunt Zhou looked at his back, curled her fingers, clenched her fists, and looked down at her belly.
Why is it so disappointing? It's been almost two years and my stomach hasn't had any reaction at all. I've taken this medicine, but why is it still not working?
…
Lin Qing happened to witness the argument at home. Wow, Aunt Zhou was totally suppressed by Wang Qiaomei!
The relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in this courtyard are really varied. There is the mother-in-law, Aunt Gu, who completely suppresses her daughter-in-law; then there is Aunt Jiang, who is evenly matched with her mother-in-law; then there is Aunt Zhou, who is suppressed by her daughter-in-law; and there are Aunt Li and Aunt Sui, who get along relatively well with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
She was extremely grateful that she lived with her mother and did not have these problems at all.
Although her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter, as the saying goes, "A distant place is better than a nearby place", no one knows whether there will be any conflicts if they live here for a long time.
"Ah~" Lin Qing felt a little sleepy and yawned.
When Lin's mother saw her, she urged her to take a nap, "Go take a nap first!"
Lin Qing sat there for a while. She was indeed a little sleepy, but she had been staying here just to wait and see what kind of chemical reaction would take place when the old lovers Wang Qiaomei and Jin Jianhua met each other.
God knows, she has been waiting for so long, but still hasn't seen the old lovers meet. This suddenly reminded her that she hadn't seen Jiang Yang, her cheap niece-in-law, for several days after she got married.
This won't happen again, will it?
Lin Qing shook his head. Probably not?
Even if we don't meet today, we will definitely meet tomorrow when we have to go to work, right?
"Go to bed quickly. You look so stupid." Mother Lin said with some disgust.
Father Lin smiled and said, "That's right, Nannan, go to sleep if you are tired!"
Lin Qing looked at them and felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, so he decided to take a nap!
"Mom, I'll go to sleep for a while. Call me in an hour!" Lin Qing blinked his misty eyes.
"Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead!" Really, even though I'm so sleepy, I still want to watch the excitement.
Seeing that she agreed, Lin Qing stood up and staggered into the inner room.
Lin's father stood up and escorted her into the room, fearing that she might accidentally fall. Lin's mother wanted to laugh when she saw the father and daughter.
When Father Lin turned around, he saw Mother Lin's smile. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and explained in a low voice: "I'm just worried that my daughter will fall."
"I didn't say anything."
Father Lin touched his nose uncomfortably, then sat down and started making matchboxes with her.
This is because Lin's mother felt too free, so she was not in a hurry to make the goods after receiving them. She would just make a few when she was free and deliver the goods at the end of every month, no matter how many were made.
