How could Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang not know the little thoughts of their wives?
They never argue with women about little things at home, but this job is different.
If it's not handled properly, there will definitely be conflicts between the two women.
Over time, it will affect the relationship between the brothers.
So the two of them did not plan to let their wives get involved in this matter.
Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang were just about to send their wives back to their rooms.
Yan Guowei shouted from inside the house: "What are you doing standing outside? Come in."
Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei were afraid that their husbands would not allow them to participate, so they went into the house first.
Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang had no time to stop him, so they had to follow.
Du Chunmin was feeding her grandson. She glanced at her two daughters-in-law but didn't say anything.
Wang Guimei quickly took the bowl and chopsticks from her hand and said with a smile, "Mom, let me feed her."
This is her son Yan Mingyong, who is just one year and two months old.
Du Chunmin handed her the bowl and chopsticks, then looked at her two sons, "Daqiang, Erqiang, what do you two brothers say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Daqiang smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, let my second brother go! He is younger than me, learns things faster than me, and has a better chance of staying."
After hearing what his elder brother said, Yan Erqiang also quickly expressed his opinion, "Brother, you go. You are more stable than me and more suitable to work in the factory than me."
The two brothers were being humble here, but their wives were very anxious. But in front of their parents-in-law, they didn't dare to interrupt.
Besides, brothers Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang have a very good relationship. If they dare to say anything selfish, their men will definitely be unhappy.
Yan Guowei and Du Chunmin secretly observed the expressions of their son and daughter-in-law, and were quite satisfied.
They had originally planned to divide the property between their two sons in the spring, but now with this job, they are afraid that they won't be able to do so for a while.
Yan Guowei said, "You two brothers, stop arguing. Draw lots and whoever draws the lot goes."
Du Chunmin also smiled and said to his son: "Your father and I want both of you to go, but there is only one spot available. To be fair, let your wife draw lots."
Such a fair method, not to mention Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang, even their wives had nothing to say.
Yan Guowei asked his daughter to write a note, and then said to his two sons: "No matter which of you two go, you must hand in the money you earn. Zhenyu tried every means to get this job, not for that one person, he is helping our whole family for your mother's sake."
The two brothers quickly expressed their opinions, "Dad, we know that all the money we earn will be given to Mom, and we will never have any selfish motives."
Yan Guowei nodded with satisfaction.
Du Chunmin glanced at the two daughters-in-law and saw that they had no objection, so he smiled and said:
"Don't worry if you leave the money with me. I won't spend it recklessly. Except for your younger sister's dowry, I will give it to you two brothers equally when we divide the family property."
Yan Daqiang said quickly: "Mom, you and my dad can keep it for us. We are still young and can earn it ourselves in the future."
Du Chunmin smiled with relief, "What money can your father and I use? As an old man, who doesn't want their children to be well? We are all living the lives of the younger generation. As long as you brothers and sisters are well, your father and I will be satisfied."
Yan Daqiang and Yan Erqiang were deeply moved after hearing this. Even their wives felt that they were lucky in their previous life to have such sensible parents-in-law.
Yan Xiaohua placed the two written paper balls in a bowl, shook it a few times, and then placed the bowl on the table.
Du Chunmin said to his two daughters-in-law, "Fenglan, Guimei, the two of you come over and catch them."
The reason why she didn't let her two sons catch the cat was that she was afraid that the one who didn't catch the cat would be blamed by his wife.
She knew her sons well, and they were not the kind of people who would disregard brotherhood for the sake of profit.
But it’s different for daughters-in-law. They have no blood relationship and of course they only care about the interests of their own family.
This is human nature, and she can understand it.
If this happened to her, she would definitely hope that her man could get the job.
Du Chunmin sighed in her heart. As a mother, she was really worried about the harmony of her son's family.
When Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei heard their mother-in-law ask them to draw lots, they were very nervous, fearing that they would fail and hold their men back.
Seeing that the two were hesitant to take action, Du Chunmin said, "You two play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to catch first."
Qian Fenglan and Wang Guimei both laughed, but they didn't play rock-paper-scissors. If they had done that, it would have been too petty.
Qian Fenglan felt that she was the eldest sister-in-law, so she said to Wang Guimei, "Sister-in-law, you catch it first."
Wang Guimei quickly shook her head and said modestly, "Sister-in-law, you should go first."
"He's not an outsider, so stop pushing it around and catch him quickly. We still have to go to work in the afternoon."
After Yan Daqiang finished speaking, he said to Wang Guimei, "Sister-in-law, you go first. No matter who goes, we are all family. Don't make it so strange."
Seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law said so, Wang Guimei didn't bother to be polite anymore and just grabbed one from the bowl. Qian Fenglan smiled and picked up another paper ball.
Wang Guimei opened the paper ball first and saw the word "go" written on it. She was so happy that she almost screamed.
When I saw the lost Qian Fenglan, I felt a little embarrassed.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law asked her to catch it first, which was a sign of humility on the part of the brother and sister-in-law. Now that she has caught it, she cannot be complacent, as that would be too unkind.
Wang Guimei said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, sister-in-law, I..."
Yan Daqiang had seen the note. He smiled heartily and said, "Sister-in-law, it's good for my second brother to go. He's not as good as me at farm work, but he's good at talking. He will definitely have a better job in the factory than me."
"Brother, don't flatter yourself. When have I ever been worse at work than you? Didn't you just get twenty more work points than me this year? You talk about it every day, and your words are even longer than a woman's." Yan Erqiang pretended to be unconvinced.
Yan Daqiang smiled and kicked him, "How dare you talk back? I think you're itching for trouble again."
Everyone was amused by the two. Du Chunmin and Yan Guowei felt very relieved.
We are not afraid of hardship or poverty, as long as the family is harmonious, there is hope for life.
Du Chunmin sternly warned his son and daughter-in-law, "This matter has not even been decided yet. It is not certain whether you can get in or not. You all should keep your mouths shut. If anyone spreads a word, I will punish him."
Although he said this to everyone, he was actually referring to his two daughters-in-law, fearing that they might not be able to help but tell their families.
Their natal family doesn't just have their parents, there are also sisters-in-law from other families, who may not necessarily be close to them.
If someone does something bad, not only will I lose my job, but my nephew might also be implicated.
"Mom, we know the seriousness of the matter." Several people promised not to tell anyone.
After the two daughters-in-law went to the kitchen to wash the pot, Du Chunmin said to the two sons again: "Please tell your daughters-in-law not to go back to their parents' home and say something. If you implicate Zhenyu, I will kick you out together."
"Mom, we know." The two brothers nodded heavily and decided to talk it over with their wives in the evening.
