Chapter 54 Fifty is the right age to venture out!
"No, no, no, please don't. I can't accept your gift. I didn't say I was going to sell this job. Besides, what's wrong with being fifty? Fifty is the right age to venture out into the world! I don't even feel tired, but you outsiders think I'm tired?"
Li Fengqin was still smiling, "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, aren't we worried about you? Now that my brother is gone, this family depends on you to support it."
Lin Xiuzhen simply rolled her eyes at her.
"Oh? You feel sorry for me? If you feel sorry for me, why don't you give me some money to buy pork? You just said a few words, right? Everyone is the same. If you have the ability, you can give me some money. It will be more convincing if you show some practicality."
After Lin Xiuzhen finished speaking, the people opposite her all looked unhappy. Xu Dongmei, who had originally looked nervous, just laughed.
This third brother is so good at talking that I almost thought my son had no hope.
But it’s better this way now. If I can’t get any benefits, then the third family can’t expect to get any benefits either.
But Xu Dongmei herself was unwilling to accept this.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not good at saying nice things, but my family is honest. You're already so old, and you have to get up early every day to go to work in town. It's hard work. My idea is to give this job to our Guochao, and then we'll buy it for him. If it's not enough, we'll use our monthly salary to deduct it, so that it will be easier for you to raise a few children."
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Chunlan who came out of the kitchen.
"Also, your daughter Zhaodi has returned home now. She will have a baby soon. This will be stressful. Why don't you give up this job... and then you can get some money to support your daughter every month?"
When Lin Xiuzhen heard this, she looked at Gu Chunlan who was standing at the door with a sad look on her face, and she immediately became unhappy.
"I said you don't understand what I'm saying, right? I'm happy to raise my daughter. Besides, isn't the baby in her belly Gu's child? I, as a mother, have no objection, but you, as the second aunt, have an objection first? Don't you know Chunlan is pregnant now? You are talking nonsense in front of a pregnant woman. If you can't speak, don't speak, as if you are afraid that others don't know you are dumb!"
Lin Xiuzhen originally wanted to see what these people wanted to say, but this time their attitude completely annoyed her.
Saying such things in front of a divorced and pregnant woman, no matter if it was out of kindness or for some other reason, in Lin Xiuzhen's opinion, it was vicious.
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back. I won't sell this job, and don't worry about it. Although we are orphans and widows, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. If you still dare to worry about it, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, Lin Xiuzhen started to chase people away.
Facts have proved that these people just can't be treated well.
Look at the way these people behave. They take it for granted. Some even think that Lin Xiuzhen is old and her children are not doing well, so she might have to rely on her nephews to support her in her old age.
That's why I came to your house and said these words.
Don’t you even consider whether Lin Xiuzhen will appreciate it?
"Humph! I think you just don't know what's good for you and don't know how to appreciate good people. You will regret it sooner or later. I want to see how promising these girls of yours can be!"
When Xu Dongmei saw that she hadn't done her job, she became furious and ashamed.
"Whether they are promising or not, I won't bother you as the second aunt to worry about it, but I have a feeling that my daughters will definitely be more promising than those in your family!"
Lin Xiuzhen was not affected by the other party's words at all.
Instead, he said this when the other party left.
Xu Dongmei just spat.
"Get lost! Don't come to my house if you don't have anything to do. It's really unlucky. What kind of people are they?"
Look at these people. It has only been a short while and they have already exposed their true colors.
However, Li Fengqin from the third family still had a smile on her face.
There was no unhappiness on his face. Even after being kicked out, he still greeted Lin Xiuzhen with a smile.
"Then we'll leave first, sister-in-law. If there's anything in the future, just have someone come to our house and let us know. We're all family, regardless of whether we have this job or not. We shouldn't make things so awkward, don't you think?"
After saying this, he asked his son to say goodbye to Lin Xiuzhen.
Comparing this family with the second one's family, Lin Xiuzhen couldn't help but sigh twice.
Look, the third family was scolded like that, but they were still able to greet people with a smile.
The second brother's skills are still a little lacking.
But this is none of my business. Lin Xiuzhen has made it so clear. If these people have a little self-awareness, they should not come to disturb me in the future.
If she comes again, Lin Xiuzhen herself is not a pushover.
Gu Chunlan came out at this time, looking a little worried.
"Mom, what should we do about this job? Will grandparents let you go to Second Aunt's house when the time comes?"
"It's okay, your grandma doesn't have the guts!"
Lin Xiuzhen could actually understand the old man's approach.
After all, now that the eldest son is gone, I have to live my life according to the wishes of the second son's family, so naturally I want to be nicer to the second son's children.
But Gu Jialiang is not a good person either.
Lin Xiuzhen didn't expect such a nephew to be filial to her.
It’s better not to have a nephew like this.
No one noticed the look in Lin Xiuzhen's eyes, and the Gu family was just driven away.
It just so happened that the second brother had just heard the news and came back.
As soon as Gu Xialin returned home, she started looking for tools.
"Mom, I heard that my second and third aunts came to visit shamelessly?"
After saying that, he glanced around the room. Where was there anyone else?
"Okay, we're all gone. It's okay. Just relax and go cook!"
"Oh! I was thinking they were coming, I'd go and chase them away!"
Gu Xialin was still a little disappointed.
After all, in her opinion, she is now the pillar of the family.
My younger brother is useless, my two younger sisters have gone to school, my eldest sister is pregnant and needs to take good care of the baby, and my mother is old. It seems that I am the only reliable one in the family.
Lin Xiuzhen had no idea that her daughter had already taken responsibility on herself.
When the meeting person came back, he sent him to cook.
Goudan had been in the backyard the whole time and didn't know how to get involved in such a situation. He could only watch the people quarreling with each other.
As for Gu Jiabao, he actually heard these words of disdain at the door just now.
I might have been very angry before, but now I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong with what the other person said.
Even if my mother gave me this job, I might not be able to do it well...
I am such a loser that even my own grandparents don't think highly of me. They think I am just a useless person who is waiting to die and is a hopeless case.
When he went back this time, he felt very frustrated. Gu Jiabao, who had been trying to make a presence known, now fell silent for a rare time.
While eating, Gu Xialin was still complaining.
