"Little ancestor, stop struggling and go to rest! Your mother and elder sister are here, so your two nieces won't starve."
Li Qiuhua stood up with a look of heartache and chased after him, snatched the pork belly and big bones from Shen Zhihuan's hands and rushed into the house.
"Little sister, go and have a rest. I and mom are here in the kitchen." Shen Zhimei quickly agreed.
"Third sister, I'm here too. I can help too." Little Weidong jumped out while biting a peach cake.
"Aunt, Erya and I are here to help." Daya also came out to express her opinion while taking small bites of the peach cake.
"Yes, auntie, you go and have a rest. Sister Daya and I can help." Erya followed suit.
"Okay, today I will enjoy the blessing of my younger brother and niece." Shen Zhihuan smiled softly, went to the well to wash his hands, turned around and went back to the house.
She really felt very tired today, and her pair of bamboo legs were especially sore and weak. If she hadn't held on with one breath, she would have really sat on the ground.
After closing the door, Shen Zhihuan went into the resort, took a quick shower, and then left the resort. After lying on the bunk bed for a few minutes, Shen Zhihuan fell into a deep sleep.
"Mom, why did my younger sister break off the engagement with the Su family when she was fine?" After sending Xiao Weidong, Daya and Erya away, Shen Zhimei, who was cutting meat on the chopping board, frowned and looked through the window in the direction of Shen Zhihuan's house, and said in a low voice.
The neighbor aunt spoke vaguely, and she was even more confused.
My younger sister's marriage with Su Zijie was arranged personally by my grandpa and Su Zijie's grandfather. How can it be canceled just like that?
"All right!" Li Qiuhua snorted coldly as he added a handful of firewood to the stove. "That bastard from Xu Youcai's family has set his eyes on Su Zijie. In order to curry favor with Xu Youcai, Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei forced your younger sister to agree to break off the engagement."
"Xu Jiaojiao? Isn't she my good friend?" Shen Zhimei paused while cutting the pork belly.
"Friend? What kind of friend can steal his friend's fiancé?" Li Qiuhua spat.
"Mom, are you mistaken? I don't think Xu Jiaojiao is that kind of person."
Years ago, she accompanied her mother-in-law to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy New Year's goods, and she also saw Xu Jiaojiao, a quiet girl who called her "sister" sweetly when she saw her.
"You're wrong. You didn't see how that bitch acted when she saw Su Zijie. To put it bluntly, she was just like a dog in spring. It was really disgusting to look at." Li Qiuhua raised his voice slightly, almost unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
She had seen shameless people, but this was the first time in her life that she had seen someone as shameless as that bitch from the Xu family.
Seeing that the eldest daughter looked unacceptable, Li Qiuhua added angrily, "Just wait and see! In less than half a year, we should hear the news that Su Zijie and that bitch from the Xu family are getting engaged."
With Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei, two parents who play the good and bad roles, Su Zijie can still twist his thigh with his thin arm.
"Mom, what should I do with my younger sister in the future?" Shen Zhimei was very worried.
She doesn't care who Xu Jiaojiao is going to get engaged to or who Su Zijie is going to marry. Shen Zhimei is concerned about her younger sister's future.
Nowadays, no matter what the reason for breaking off an engagement, it is a fatal blow to a girl's reputation.
Liu Ahhua from the next village broke off her child engagement and had difficulty finding a husband, so she ended up marrying an old widower whose wife had died, and as soon as she got married she became a stepmother to two half-grown boys.
Li Qiuhua sighed, "Mother has thought about it. Your sister is not in good health. I would not feel at ease if she gets married. I thought that if I meet a good man in the future, I would find her a son-in-law. Then your sister can stay under my nose and I can take care of her. When your brother grows up, he can help your sister, right?"
"Is this what you mean, little sister?" Shen Zhimei breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be best if I could stay with my mother.
"I haven't found a chance to tell your younger sister yet. After this is over, I'll find a suitable opportunity to tell her!" Li Qiuhua sighed and shook his head.
My daughter has always been a thoughtful person. I don't know if she has gotten over the cancellation of the engagement. She doesn't dare to ask.
We can only wait for a few more days, until the matter of breaking off the engagement has faded, and then we can slowly talk about the future.
Shen Zhimei thought for a moment and whispered, "Mom, there was a young man in our village who looked pretty good, worked efficiently, and looked decent. His father and mother died in a flood a few years ago, and his sister got married last year. Now he only has a grandmother left..."
"There's no rush. Let's talk about it later!" Li Qiuhua frowned and interrupted Shen Zhimei.
As soon as the marriage was broken up, she was already talking about her in-laws. What would outsiders think if they knew about it? She might even be blamed by Su Changhe and Wang Chunmei, the two people who were struck by lightning.
"Okay, after all, I'm only seventeen. It won't be too late to talk about it after the New Year." Shen Zhimei nodded.
After pouring the chopped radish into the big iron pot for boiling bones, Shen Zhimei suddenly thought of something and looked up at Li Qiuhua who was lighting a fire behind the stove.
"Mom, has my second sister come back recently?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"No, probably busy!" Li Qiuhua shook his head.
"A few days ago, I heard Xingwang say that he met his second brother-in-law's neighbor at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative. The neighbor told Xingwang that his second brother-in-law is now the production director of a cotton mill, and his second sister has also worked as a temporary worker in the mill. She said that she is waiting for the quota for regular employees to come in next year so that she can be hired as a permanent employee." Shen Zhimei subconsciously glanced at the kitchen door and whispered.
"Now that Zhilan has gone to work, who will take care of Yang Ming?" Li Qiuhua began to worry about her grandson who had just learned to walk.
How can a kid who just learned to walk be left alone? Shen Zhimei laughed, "Mom, you are really destined to worry. How can the Yang family not care about their eldest grandson?!"
"My second brother-in-law's neighbor said that my second brother-in-law gave his mother fifteen yuan a month to look after Yang Ming at home. Fifteen yuan a month is one hundred and eighty yuan a year. My second brother-in-law's brother and sister-in-law were so happy that they almost went crazy. They almost made Yang Yang their idol."
"It's good to have someone to look after the child!" Li Qiuhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Zhimei thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I want Xingwang to go find my second brother-in-law and ask him to help Xingwang find a temporary job. Do you think that's okay?"
Although the wages of temporary workers are not high, they are much better than earning work points in the fields.
Now she and her husband work hard every day, and throughout the year, her pockets are cleaner than her face.
Li Qiuhua took out the only five yuan she had left from her trouser pocket and stuffed it into Shen Zhimei's hand, "Ask Xingwang to buy something when you go. Don't go empty-handed."
"Mom, I... I can't take it. You should keep it for your younger sisters and brothers..." Shen Zhimei quickly stuffed it back to Li Qiuhua.
It was unfilial enough that she came back empty-handed, how could she still ask for her mother's hard-earned money?
Besides, my little sister needs medicine all year round. If she takes the money, what will happen to my little sister?
"Take it. Consider it as a snack bought by my grandmother for the eldest and second daughters." Li Qiuhua stuffed the money into Shen Zhimei's pocket.
