The Nan family had only one refrigerator at first, but there were many people in the family, and the food in the refrigerator could not be eaten for one or two days. Aunt Zhou was old, and if she went to buy food herself, it was too heavy to carry, so she had to go to the market every day.
Nanqiao was concerned about Aunt Zhou's health, so he simply put another freezer at home and asked the Chaoyang store to deliver food every now and then, which saved Aunt Zhou a lot of trouble.
As for the space in Nanqiao, since the kitchen is mainly Aunt Zhou's battlefield, Nanqiao can't just create a lot of things for no reason, but asking her to pretend to go out to buy groceries and then come back after a stroll is really impossible for her with her current busyness...
Nanqiao is very kind to Aunt Zhou. Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, she treats Aunt Zhou better than her mother-in-law, but in Nanqiao's heart, since she became pregnant, besides Sheng Yanchuan, it is Aunt Zhou who has taken care of her the most. In this regard, Aunt Zhou does better than her mother-in-law. Nanqiao thinks that her kindness to Aunt Zhou is justified.
But she thinks so, others don't...
"Yanchuan, I'm not gossiping to you. I didn't know before when I wasn't around you. Now that I'm here, I have to say what I need to say. You're still young, you can't spend as much as you want. You have to think about the future." When Aunt Xiumei and Sheng Yanchuan went out, she saw that Nanqiao and Aunt Zhou didn't follow them, so she whispered to Sheng Yanchuan.
Sheng Yanchuan thought about it and thought that they didn't have any big expenses these days, so where did her mother come from?
"Why do you say that?" Sheng Yanchuan asked in confusion. Should I say it or not? Sheng Yanchuan was accustomed to his current life and did not think it was too enjoyable or wasteful.
"Look at you two, one car is not enough, you got three now, and then there's the wine and the phone call, it's just a matter of walking a few steps, even though we are in-laws, why do we have to ask you two for everything, and... and..."
"Mom, stop it. I've been living like this for years. I don't think these expenses are a big deal. Don't mention it. Also, I have to pick up the kids. I'm leaving now."
As soon as Sheng Yanchuan heard what his mother said, he knew what she wanted to say. He didn't want to argue with her at the doorstep, so he just interrupted her. What he interrupted was what Aunt Xiumei wanted to say the most, about Aunt Zhou...
"No...listen to me." Aunt Xiumei stopped Sheng Yanchuan unwillingly, wanting to finish what she had just hesitated to say.
"What are you talking about? Don't worry about the money. We can earn it together." Sheng Yanchuan said, and walked quickly to the car and drove away, leaving Aunt Xiumei standing there, looking worried.
"Mom, don't worry about what's going on with my second brother's family." Taohua saw her second brother leave, so she came over and pulled her mother to follow Uncle Sheng and her eldest brother's family.
"How can we ignore it? Look at how much Nanqiao and your brother have given away in just one day, including houses and cars, food and wine tonight. How much money do they have to spend?" Aunt Xiumei frowned. In the past, people from the village would just give a bowl of meat and dumplings, but today, that Sister Zhang took away a big bag, enough for them to eat for a week. Although they would go there at night, it seemed they would come to get it on weekdays as well. And the wine didn't look cheap.
"Mom, the house and car are all given to our family." Taohua looked at her mother helplessly.
"Well...what about the wine and food...and if you live next door, just go over and make a phone call..."
"Mom, this is unreasonable. My sister-in-law can give it to us, but you can't give it to her parents' family."
"But...but that money was earned by your brother with great efforts." Aunt Xiumei said this and thought of what her son had said before about the black market. It was not easy to earn the money, so how could he spend it so easily?
"Does my sister-in-law earn little?" Taohua's voice became serious when she heard her mother say this. What was going on? Her elder brother was doing well, but her mother started to...
Aunt Xiumei knew that Nanqiao also earned a lot, but she thought it was a waste and refused to admit that her ideas were old-fashioned. She began to make up for it from other places.
"Then...what about Aunt Zhou? I told you I can cook for them when I come, why do you have to spend extra money to hire someone else?"
"Mom, it's fine for you to say this to me, but this is the last time. Don't you know what position Aunt Zhou holds in my second sister-in-law's side? When you were taking care of my sister-in-law during her confinement, it was Aunt Zhou who was taking care of my second sister-in-law."
"But I've paid you." Aunt Xiumei was scolded by her daughter, muttering unwillingly
"Yes, I gave you money, but how many people who are paid can take care of everything? How many people can spend the money they earn on their children? These years, Aunt Zhou has taken care of my second brother, second sister-in-law and the two children as her own family. Don't mention the resignation you said to my second sister-in-law today again. If you keep talking about it, I'm afraid she will get angry. What's more, you said you cook for my second brother's family. You will see it tomorrow and you will know if you can do it. Besides, my eldest sister-in-law's store is about to open. Don't you go to help? How will you have time to take care of the family affairs if you help? If you fire Aunt Zhou, can you really take care of buying groceries, cooking, picking up the children and cleaning the house? You can't let my brother and sister-in-law be busy all day, and the children have to wait for them to eat when they come back at noon after a morning of classes."
Taohua tried her best to persuade her, coaxing and deceiving her, fearing that she would not be able to figure it out and say something unpleasant to her second sister-in-law.
"I know that's the truth, but I just think that they are too young and don't know how to live."
"Mom, do you know how many people my brother and sister-in-law employ? There are tens of thousands of people working for them in China where there are branches. Even a large state-owned factory in Shanghai is not that big. Do you really think they don't know how to make a living?"
