Chapter 09 Taking a nap

Shi Hai watched his son disappear in a flash and snorted angrily. He didn't know whose personality this son took after, but he just wouldn't learn no matter how hard he tried to teach him.

The brain is of no use at all.

After staring at the gate for a few seconds, Shi Hai let out a long breath and went upstairs.

The son ran away, but the grandson is still upstairs. If no one takes care of this child, he will probably bother his mother again.

The daughter-in-law has just been angry, and now if the child gets upset again, wouldn't that just be adding fuel to the fire?

Shi Hai prepared to bring his grandson to their room and let the child sleep with him and his wife tonight.

Speaking of which, he also has to talk to his wife. His eldest grandson needs to be taught well. No child can throw chopsticks at his own mother's face. There is no discipline at all.

The daughter-in-law works hard and worries a lot for this family.

Shi Hai had all kinds of things on his mind. He went upstairs, went to his son's room, and coaxed his eldest grandson into their room.

Mo Amei was not feeling well, so she went to bed after dinner.

She leaned against the head of the bed. Opposite the bed was a TV. It was not time for a TV show to start, so commercials were playing.

Seeing Shi Hai bringing his grandson in and talking about sleeping with his grandparents today, she immediately curled her lips and said, "Isn't his mother in the next room? She is really capable. A couple quarrels and doesn't sleep in the same room. If she is so stubborn, she might as well go back to her parents' home and see who will invite her."

Then you will have to come back in disgrace.

Mo A-mei also saw clearly that her son's mind was not on his daughter-in-law at all. If his daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home, he would not be able to invite anyone to come to her house.

Perhaps knowing this, Pu Xiang had been married for five or six years and had quarrels with Shi Dafu, but she had never returned to her parents' home.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was well-behaved, Mo A'mei felt a little fearless.

Things in the world are sometimes just like this: either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

There are few cases where the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are respectful to each other, and most of them are overbearing.

Whichever side is weaker will have a hard time.

Shi Hai usually doesn't bother to talk about these things with his wife. After all, after being together for decades, he has already seen clearly that his wife is also unable to explain herself.

You analyzed the situation with her today, and she thought what you said made sense, and she agreed to everything. However, she completely forgot about it the next moment.

It's useless to say anything.

"Say it, say it again. You don't understand your daughter-in-law's temper at all. When has she ever cried, made a fuss, or even hanged herself? When she quarreled with Dafu, when did she ever talk about divorce? You, don't say bad things about his mother in front of your grandson in the future. Look at today, he threw chopsticks at his mother's face. Is that rude? If this was someone else's child, would you think he was a good kid? You haven't seen what Third Sister has been like at home these years. Just wait and see. If she really gets angry and wants a divorce, where can you find another daughter-in-law like her?"

Shi Hai's words were quite clear.

Mo A'mei sat up straighter after hearing what her man said, and she began to feel a little uneasy.

"No, it can't be. How can she live as a woman if she gets divorced? What kind of person can she marry again? Can she find a family like ours?"

As she said this, Mo A-mei felt relieved again.

That's right, divorce is not that easy. How many women dare to get divorced these days? The more they get married, the more unhappy they will be. For a family like their Shi family, forget it.

As soon as Shi Hai saw his wife's expression, he knew what she was thinking. She was really stupid.

"Don't always think like that. Think about the past and now. What is impossible? Look at the streets. There are more shops and factories. It's hard to say what will happen in the future."

He could see clearly when he went to the streets that the factories, shops and stalls were increasing in number year by year. Look at the vegetable market, where there were only people selling clothes and shoes before, but now there are many small miscellaneous items.

He saw that some women who were doing business were not much smarter or more capable than their daughters-in-law. After making money, they dared to yell at their masters.

If you think about it more carefully, some things in this world have not changed.

With money in hand, the old women have the confidence to speak. And those old men who have sons-in-law who live with their wives, isn't it because their families are poor and have no money?

Their country has produced female emperors like Wu Zetian. Who can look down on these women?

Shi Haiguan is a cautious person and thinks he can judge people. He thinks his daughter-in-law's attitude today is not right.

After thinking about it, she probably just suffered from the hardship of her job. Her husband was unfaithful, and she was also disappointed with her son.

Seeing that Mo Amei still didn't take it seriously, Shi Hai could only say, "Don't worry about whether she will live well if she gets divorced. If she does, our son will have to remarry, and our grandson will have to live under the control of his stepmother. Think about it, it will cost money and bring no benefits. Now I'm not asking you to support your daughter-in-law, so why bother saying a few words to hurt her?"

After hearing what he said, Mo Amei felt that it made sense.

How expensive it is to get things done nowadays. To marry a daughter-in-law, there is a dowry, a wedding banquet, and how much money can be given as red envelopes? The new daughter-in-law will definitely have another child, and she will also have to help take care of the confinement. The new daughter-in-law will definitely be good to her own child, so how pitiful her eldest grandson will be.

Moreover, the new daughter-in-law may not necessarily give birth to a grandson, let alone a granddaughter.

The old couple spoke in low voices in the room, and Shi Jiajie became impatient after listening to a few sentences.

He wants to watch TV, TV is the best!

…

Pu Xiang did not sleep well that night. One moment she was locked in the room by Shi Dafu and Lin Meihua, covered in feces and urine. The next moment she heard Shi Jiajie's cold voice, scolding her for being a useless old thing and saying that his father was unlucky to marry her.

Finally, all the images turned into the picture of the middle-aged Mo Jingjing, using her frail back to carry her out of the room.

Pu Xiang woke up. Mo Jingjing was lying beside her, small and soft, with her face flushed from her sleep.

Oh, it seems she has indeed been reborn.

I fell asleep this time and did not wake up in the hospital bed.

Pu Xiang pinched herself again, causing her to shudder in pain and gasp.

It hurts! I think it's bruised!

After calming down, Pu Xiang started to think about other things.

The most obvious thing is divorce.

Pu Xiang is not the type to hesitate. Once she makes up her mind, she will not change it. The reason why she did not turn around and go back to her parents' home last night was that, firstly, it was already late, and secondly, even if she went back to her parents' home, her family would know that she had quarreled with Shi Dafu without asking.

It's not a festival, and a married daughter would never go back to her parents' home for no reason, let alone at night.

If her parents and brother and sister-in-law knew about this, no one would stand on her side. They would only advise her to calm down and go back to live a good life.

If Shi Dafu cheated on his wife and hooked up with another woman, there would be no other result but he would be scolded.

"How can you be so useless? You've only been married for a few years and you can't even keep an eye on your own man."

"As a woman, can't you learn to be gentler? Look at others, then look at yourself, don't just work all day long."

"The Shi family has good conditions, so it's normal for him to have other thoughts. You should think of a way to catch him. What's the point of getting a divorce?"

"Don't tell anyone about this, aren't you ashamed?"

…

These are what Pu Xiang really experienced and heard. Her family is unreliable when it comes to divorce.

She had no support at all.

Pu Xiang thought about it and finally decided that she should start with Shi Dafu.

In this matter, probably among all the people, only Shi Dafu and she stood on the same side.

Haha, it’s funny to think about it.

After decades of sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams, the couple finally get to work together again.

In this season, it is a little cool in the morning, and lying in bed is the most comfortable time.

Pu Xiang heard the pigs in the pigpen downstairs clucking at the appointed time. The Shi family had two sows, one of which had just been bred and was pregnant with a litter of piglets, and the other was already three months old, for a total of 16 pigs.

Normally, when Pu Xiang wakes up in the morning, the first thing he does is to feed the pigs. He never takes a day off, no matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Feeding pigs is not just about mixing the feed, you have to clean the pigsty first. Overnight, the pigsty will be full of shit. The smell is less in winter, but in summer it is so smelly that people dare not breathe.

First you have to shovel it out, then rinse it with water.

After cleaning the pigpen, you can mix the pig feed. The conditions are not as good as later, and you can put more feed. In the 1990s, bean cakes, wheat bran, grass and vegetable leaves were chopped up and mixed together.

In winter, you have to boil water to mix it. If it is too cold, the pigs will easily get sick if they eat it.

After Pu Xiang married into the Shi family, she fed the pigs twice a day for more than ten years without fail.

But today, Pu Xiang stretched out in the quilt, showing no intention of getting up at all.

She is preparing for a divorce, what does the Shi family's affairs have to do with her?

She had been feeding pigs for more than ten years, but had not achieved any results.

Since she's not preparing, she won't make breakfast either. What her parents-in-law want to eat, what Shi Dafu wants to eat, and what Shi Jiajie wants to eat has nothing to do with her!

One of the most enjoyable things for young people in the new era is to lie in bed. Pu Xiang has been busy all her life, so she decided to enjoy herself now.

Sure enough, the quilt in the morning is the most comfortable!

Pu Xiang stretched a few times in the quilt... Her waist didn't hurt, and her legs didn't feel sore. At this age, she was strong and healthy. She could carry two half-grown piglets in her hands... She was in a very good mood.

downstairs.

As people get older, they sleep less. Moreover, not many people in rural areas are lazy in bed.

As soon as I close my eyes, everything is alive.

There is no way to finish it. It is impossible to finish it.

Mo Amei went downstairs as usual. She was not feeling well, so she got up a little later.

Moreover, she has a capable daughter-in-law at home, so she doesn't have to worry about kitchen matters at all.

But today, when she went downstairs, she didn't see her daughter-in-law at all, and her husband was mixing pig food there.

"Where is the third sister? She hasn't gotten up yet, has she? This is outrageous. She hasn't gotten up yet at this hour. Who does she think she is? A rich daughter of a landlord? This is because society is good now. In the old society, a daughter-in-law like her would have been divorced and sent back to her parents' home long ago!"

Ever since Shi Hai got his son married, the tasks of making breakfast and feeding the pigs rarely fell on him, and he was no longer familiar with them. Besides, the busy farming season had just ended and his waist was still aching.

As he often said, when people are tired, they tend to be in a bad mood.

Shi Hai frowned, and his tone became impatient towards his daughter-in-law who could not even teach him: "I told you to say less, but you can't remember it, right? In the old society, you couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law. Women are always short-sighted and can't help at all, so they just keep nagging. What can you say?"

Mo Amei's mouth closed immediately.

Shi Dafu, who followed him downstairs, glanced at his mother. His mother was just a rural woman who knew nothing, and their family depended entirely on his father.
