Li Yanhong was a little embarrassed: "Of course, if you think that the two of us can handle it, then we won't ask for help. Mom is mainly worried that you will be tired."
"Of course I can ask someone for help, but..." Su Lixuan looked hesitant, looked around to see that there was no one around, and then lowered her voice and spoke to Li Yanhong.
"Just Aunt Lu, okay?"
She still remembered Aunt Lu saying that her daughter-in-law kept rats, and the hygiene conditions were obviously not up to standard.
Su Lixuan was embarrassed: "After all, what we make is food for import. Aunt Lu's house...if the hygiene is not good and someone gets sick from eating it, then our reputation will be ruined."
After understanding what her daughter-in-law was worried about, Li Yanhong snorted, "It's her daughter-in-law who's being mean. She's not mean at all, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten into such a fight with her daughter-in-law."
If Lu Wanqin was a little sloppy, she would turn a blind eye and not clean up unless her daughter-in-law cleaned it up.
If nothing else, Lu Wanqin herself would be less angry.
It was because Lu Wanqin couldn't stand her daughter-in-law's slovenliness and couldn't live with her that she forced herself to become like that.
Li Yanhong smiled and said softly, "You don't know, when Lu Wanqin was young, she was the neatest and cleanest girl in our compound."
"She loves cleanliness. There's a word for it...cleanliness..."
Su Lixuan: "Mysophobia?"
Li Yanhong: "Yes, it's mysophobia. She is actually a bit of a mysophobia, otherwise she wouldn't have argued so much with her daughter-in-law over hygiene."
Su Lixuan was also happy when she heard it.
Mysophobia is good!
It's better to be clean than sloppy.
She immediately agreed with both hands: "That's great, as long as Aunt Lu is willing to help, let Aunt Lu get a health certificate and then we will pay her a monthly salary."
"Would Aunt Lu be willing to come for thirty yuan a month?"
Li Yanhong smacked her lips. "The monthly salary at the factory is only around thirty or so, close to forty yuan. If you offer thirty, not to mention Aunt Lu, everyone in our compound would rush over if they heard about it."
Holding her daughter-in-law's arm, Li Yanhong took the responsibility and said, "Leave it to Mom. She doesn't need to pay thirty yuan, and it's not a full-day job. She just needs to come and help with the work this morning. If you pay her thirty yuan, she won't know how to do it."
There is so much money and you have to work hard all morning every day. Anyone with a conscience will feel that the money is "hot".
Li Yanhong: "Twenty will be enough. I'll tell her when we get back. Having more people to help will save you from having to work like a top in the kitchen, making and steaming dumplings."
Thinking that there would soon be more people to help share the burden, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt relieved for a moment.
The two of them had just stepped into the compound hand in hand, and before they could even reach the backyard, they heard some crackling noises in the backyard, and they didn't know what was going on.
Li Yanhong held her forehead and said, "Here they come again! As soon as I heard the noise, I knew it must be Zhang Guifang's house."
Apart from the Lu family, no other family in the backyard is so poor and has to make such a fuss.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Wanqin jumped out like a mole and said, "You really guessed it right. The Lu family is making trouble again!"
Li Yanhong covered her chest and said, "Oh my god, where did you come from?"
Pointing to the empty stool in the corner, Lu Wanqin smiled bitterly: "I was just sitting there. The daughter-in-law of the Lu family came back to make trouble again. My daughter-in-law was in high spirits at home again. I couldn't bear to see her arrogant face, so I came out to hide away."
Su Lixuan can solve this problem. It is obvious that Lu Wanqin's daughter-in-law is a PUA old woman.
Whenever Zhang Guifang started fighting with her daughter-in-law, Lu Wanqin's daughter-in-law would start to convince Lu Wanqin that she was actually a good person, at least she didn't scold the old woman like Zhang Guifang's eldest daughter-in-law did.
Lu Wanqin is not stupid. Although she doesn't understand what PUA is, she feels that what her daughter-in-law says is wrong and doesn't like to hear it.
After all this, it’s better to go out and have some peace and quiet instead of fighting with my daughter-in-law at home.
Li Yanhong curiously asked Lu Wanqin, "What's going on with the Lu family again? Is it the same thing as last time?"
The last time Zhang Guifang's eldest daughter-in-law came back and made a fuss, wasn't it because she wanted to resign and start her own business, but Zhang Guifang refused to agree?
After such a long time, Li Yanhong thought that Zhang Guifang, the eldest daughter-in-law, had given up the idea, but she didn't expect that she would come back to make trouble again.
Lu Wanqin pursed his lips and said, "It is indeed because of this matter, but it is different from last time."
"Oh?" Li Yanhong became interested after hearing this. "Why is it different?"
Lu Wanqin didn't keep it a secret: "Last time, I wanted to borrow money from Zhang Guifang to start a business. This time, I heard from somewhere that Zhang Guifang paid back your family's betrothal gift on Ye Wei's behalf."
"Look, he's back because he's feeling unbalanced."
"They are both daughters-in-law, but she is the eldest daughter-in-law. However, Zhang Guifang refused to accept her request to get some money from her mother-in-law. Then, Zhang Guifang, the old woman, spent so much money on the second daughter-in-law."
Lu Wanqin sighed and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't feel balanced either."
Zhang Guifang's eldest daughter-in-law doesn't care whether Zhang Guifang has any reasons for spending money on Ye Wei.
She knew that even after she had caused such a fuss before, her mother-in-law still refused to give some money to support her and her husband in starting a business.
As a result, as soon as her new sister-in-law came into the family, her mother-in-law spent money on her so generously that the news spread everywhere.
...You can’t bully people like this!
What? Has she, the eldest daughter-in-law, become a non-human being after being married for so long?
This second daughter-in-law is new to the family, but she is a treasure in her mother-in-law's eyes?
Lu Wanqin shook her head and concluded, "Zhang Guifang is really confused. Helping the younger generation, tsk tsk, the problem is not the lack of support, but the uneven distribution of support..."
…
After listening to Lu Wanqin's story, Li Yanhong and Su Lixuan walked into the backyard and heard Zhang Guifang's eldest daughter-in-law shouting...
"Mom, when you and Dad get older, do you have to live with me and Lu Cai and let us take care of you in your old age?"
Lu Cai - Zhang Guifang's eldest son and Lu Yang's elder brother.
Zhao Shuang, Zhang Guifang's eldest daughter-in-law, was standing at the door of Lu's house, shouting at the top of her lungs with her hands on her hips. She saw Li Yanhong, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, coming back out of the corner of her eye and just nodded to them as a greeting.
She was in no mood to be polite with outsiders right now.
There is no place to vent your grievances, and you are not afraid that the ugly things happening at home will be heard by the neighbors around.
She wished that the quarrel would let everyone know how partial her mother-in-law was, favoring her second son and ignoring her eldest son.
Zhao Shuang: "I didn't know who it was at first. When he heard I needed to borrow money, he swore and said he had no money. And now it's only been a few days? How come someone else has money when they need it?"
Patting the door frame, Zhao Shuang spoke in a raspy voice, "Mom, I know you've always favored my second brother. To outsiders, you've always praised him for his promising future and never mentioned your eldest son. No matter how filial Ah Cai is to you, I've never heard you say a good word about Ah Cai in all these years."
"But even so, Ah Cai never complained about you."
