She handed the child to Lu Lan and started eating her meal.
Only after she swallowed the roasted eggplant in her mouth and took a sip of soup did she have time to speak.
"Mom, I know everything you said. They have nothing to do with us anyway.
That job was bought with money. Although Zhao Yong is Chunsheng's apprentice, he only learned the craft from him for a few years. Do you still think it's the same as before, when an apprentice had to run around and be as filial to him as he would his ancestors?
No matter how close Du Chunhua and I are, we can't go against our own brothers for outsiders."
Zhao Meiya was unconvinced, "It's only been a few years, what's the difference? Learning new ideas is one thing, but we can't forget our roots.
When Chunsheng's master passed away, he was the one who carried the coffin and scattered the soil. He stayed awake for two nights and cried more sadly than anyone else.
Every New Year he never forgets to send money and food to his master's family, and his own son is like this."
"Oh, I don't understand you. Xiaotuan and the others have been studying in school and have been taught for several years. Do you think anyone treats their teacher like that?"
"What about Chunsheng's other disciples? They always send him pieces of meat and a few fish during festivals.
I think Zhao Yong is planning to demolish the bridge before he even crosses it. Chunsheng, don't bother teaching him from now on. Just let him be a regular worker. He won't be able to take the exam anyway."
He Chunsheng nodded quickly, "Mom, I'll listen to you."
Anyway, he didn't have the patience to teach from scratch. As for whether his apprentice's incompetence would embarrass him, he could simply say that he had no talent and couldn't teach him.
After all, his most outstanding apprentice has become a third-level worker, and the gifts he sends to him every year are also the most expensive. No one would think that he is not a good teacher.
Zhao Meiya turned around and warned the third brother, "Qiu Sheng, you can't learn from people without conscience. Your master taught you skills and is indebted to you. You must always remember this in your heart."
"Mom, I know. My master helped me get my job. Just for this, I will be grateful to him for the rest of my life. And Dongbao, I will remember your kindness too."
He Qiusheng picked up a piece of shredded potatoes for her with his chopsticks and asked, "Mom, I cut all the vegetables today. Look at these shredded potatoes, they are so evenly thick. I practiced for a month and cut dozens of baskets of potatoes."
"It's not bad, it's also because your sister is capable and arranged you to work in the cafeteria in advance, otherwise where would you get any training?
Your master said how much longer you need to learn and when you can start cooking. You can't let Xiao Jiang cook every day, or you'll tire him out.
Jiang Yanxu waved his hand, "Mom, I'm not tired."
"You don't have the final say. I'm exhausted from running back and forth all day. I'll kill a chicken for you tomorrow to replenish your energy."
"Third daughter-in-law, don't be idle at home. I will make a few pairs of shoes in a few days, and you can paste the uppers at home. This is a delicate job, so you can take your time.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, remember to bring her some scraps of cloth later, cotton."
Wang Taozhi was only half full and had no time to pay attention to her.
Zhao Meiya suddenly felt that her authority was challenged and banged her chopsticks hard on the bowl.
"They only care about eating. There are so many people but no one can come up with a good idea. They don't care about Dongbao at all.
Let me put it this way, if Dongbao loses her job, all the money you earn will be used to support her. It is because she has a job that you can live a good life.
You have to treat Dongbao’s affairs as your own. If she doesn’t live well, your father and I won’t live well either, and our whole family will suffer as a result…”
Zhao Meiya made specious arguments and began to brainwash the younger generation with her own methods.
He Ruixue quickly gave her a piece of bacon and said, "Mom, please don't make things difficult for them. No one in our family has your skills, and they still have a lot to learn."
Zhao Meiya was so delighted by her flattery that she didn't bother to argue with her useless son and daughter-in-law. She smiled and picked up several pieces of lean meat for her dear daughter.
She promised, "Dongbao, just wait and see. Although I'm just an old lady from the countryside and don't have any great abilities, I will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
Although the Zhao family and Zhao Meiya are relatives and may have been one family five hundred years ago, she showed no mercy when targeting them.
She first gossiped in front of Old Lady Zhao, saying that although Liu Chunfen looked honest, she was actually dishonest and would steal good things from home to send to her parents' home.
Her children have to go to the countryside to suffer. Her two nephews from her mother's side are as fat as balls. Don't think that everything will be fine if you lock the cupboard. In fact, people have secretly made keys for them.
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she immediately thought of how the inventory had been consumed extremely quickly in recent years, especially the biscuits and fried dough twists.
She thought it was because she was old and had a bad memory, but it turned out that there was a thief in the house.
Liu Chunfen was taken back by her mother-in-law and taught a lesson. She also went to her parents' home and made a scene, asking her to quickly convert the things into money and return them, otherwise she would never have a good meal in the future.
She could only paste matchboxes day and night and had no time to leave the house.
Turning around, she talked about Zhao Erhe again. Neighbors often saw him sneaking back to the alley in the middle of the night, perhaps he had just climbed out of the bed of his lover.
I don’t know what kind of annoying spirit it was, but it made him increasingly exhausted, and his lips looked pale.
No wonder he can support his family without a proper job. It turns out that he earns his money through hard work.
In the past, men supported young girls, and older women still liked young men. He was out all day, and no one knew whether the money he brought home was clean or not.
At this moment, the Zhao family was in chaos. Liu Chunfen was so tired that she started to think too much. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her husband's two moves at night were not very useful, and she suspected that he made dirty money outside.
I quarreled with him for three days and forced him to break up with the woman outside, otherwise their children would not be able to hold their heads up in the future.
"How dare you say that to me? With a thief like you as your mother, your child's reputation will be good. Did you take the five dollars I put in the drawer last time?"
