"If you don't want to, then you and your family of three will prepare your own meals and support your child's schooling. Although your father doesn't want to split up the family, he can't stand someone who is always thinking about things that don't belong to him and mistreating his child."
When Aunt Xiumei said this, Uncle Sheng was a little confused as to why she said that, but he still didn't ask her on the spot.
Sheng Yanjun was anxious, "Mom, what are you talking about? You and Dad are both in good health. How can we divide the family when the elders are still alive? Huiping will go to work with us today."
Aunt Xiumei glanced at Huiping when she heard this. She had no intention of splitting up the family, but now that things had come to this, it was better to make some things clear.
"Since you don't want to split up, then just do your part. As long as we don't split up, you will have to provide for our family's food and clothing. But you should know how much Sheng Yanchuan earns and how much he has spent on the family and you over the years."
"The second son is not young anymore, he will have to get married one day. No matter how much dowry he gives to others and how much he buys for others, he has earned it all. Your family of three earns ten work points, but the second son earns full work points if he works in the village, not to mention the things he buys for the family. So don't think I'm being unfair. If you really don't understand, count on your fingers yourself."
"Okay, let's eat. We'll go to work together later." Aunt Xiumei said, without even looking at the reactions of the crowd, and finished her meal while holding Yaya.
Sheng Yanjun looked at Aunt Xiumei and took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner. Aunt Xiumei was holding Yaya in the yard and said, "Would you like to go to the field with grandma in the future and play with your aunt Taohua? Grandma brought you some peach cakes. If you are hungry, let your aunt bring them to you in the morning, okay?"
"Okay," Yaya said softly in Aunt Xiumei's arms. Looking at the cute little granddaughter in her arms and then at the injuries on her body, Aunt Xiumei felt so distressed. She turned around and glared at Huiping again.
Hui Ping lowered her head in fear. Ever since her mother-in-law said that the family should be divided, her father-in-law was unhappy but did not say anything. She knew that her father-in-law would still listen to her mother-in-law. She panicked for a moment. Besides, no matter whether it was intentional or not, the injuries on Yaya were caused by her. She had no capital to explain.
But she really had to go to work. She hadn't done any heavy work for a long time. Not only could she not bear the fatigue, but she had boasted in the past that she had married a good family and her mother-in-law didn't even ask her to work. Now that she had to go to the fields, wouldn't that be a slap in her face? It was embarrassing enough. But she had to go, so she had to follow them out the door reluctantly.
As soon as I went out, I ran into Aunt Gaixian. Seeing that Huiping and Yaya were both here today, Aunt Gaixian greeted them and then asked Aunt Xiumei in a low voice, "What's going on in your family?"
"It's nothing. Yaya is grown up now. There's nothing to do at home. Go out to work and exercise so you don't have to stay at home and think about things." Aunt Xiumei's voice was loud. Huiping behind her naturally heard it and blushed with shame and anger.
When Aunt Gaixian wanted to ask something, Aunt Xiumei changed the subject and said, "Yanchuan came back yesterday and brought four cans of malted milk. Nanqiao gave them to Junjun. Come and get them at noon."
"Really? That's great, I'll go there at noon! In my opinion, it would be amazing if your family could marry that girl. That girl is really capable," said Aunt Gaixian, giving a thumbs up.
Hearing Gaixian praising Nanqiao, Aunt Xiumei was also very proud, with a smile on her face, "Isn't it true? Sometimes I feel that my boy is not worthy of Nanqiao."
"Ah... how could that be? Since Nan is willing to be with Chuanzi, Chuanzi must be excellent. After all, Nan is so capable, it's impossible for her to find someone inferior." Aunt Gaixian's words touched Aunt Xiumei's heart, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Yaya, can your uncle marry you a pretty aunt?" Aunt Gaixian teased Yaya in Aunt Xiumei's arms.
"Okay, Aunt Nan is pretty," Yaya said in a soft and cute voice.
"Hahaha, you see, the little girl also likes pretty aunties," Aunt Gaixian said as she saw the red marks on Yaya's arm. She glanced back inadvertently and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"Nothing." After saying these words, Aunt Xiumei did not say anything more. Aunt Gaixian looked at the family and had some guesses in her mind, but she did not ask.
Different from the happy atmosphere between Aunt Xiumei and Aunt Gaixian, Huiping, who was standing behind them, was jealous of Aunt Xiumei's words that they would be done with the separation of the family this morning, and was also jealous of Aunt Xiumei's words about giving Junjun malted milk.
"You are my future daughter-in-law, whom I hold in my hands as my treasure. They can give malted milk to other people's children, and we have children at home, so why don't they give it to you? Don't people look down on you? Why are you showing off?" Huiping complained in her heart, but she didn't remember that most of the malted milk that Nanqiao and Shen Nian sent her, and the can of malted milk that Xiumei gave her, went into her stomach...
Hui Ping, who was walking behind, looked at the happy people in front and her useless husband who didn't care about her, and her resentment intensified.
"Mother is right. A daughter-in-law is always an outsider, especially an unfavored daughter-in-law. If she hadn't gone to her parents' house to get things from time to time, she would have gotten nothing when Nanqiao came into the family." Huiping thought of this, her eyes rolling around, her mind full of thoughts on how to get some benefits from her mother-in-law's family.
When we got to the work place, many people looked at Aunt Xiumei's family today. Those who were close to her came up to ask why her daughter-in-law and granddaughter came to the field, while those who were not close to her gathered in groups of three or two to guess if something had happened.
Hui Ping was uncomfortable with the gazes of the people around her. She was embarrassed and ashamed. She could only hide aside and do her work intermittently.
Unlike the atmosphere at home where no one dared to say a word in the morning, Sheng Yanchuan was in a very happy mood when he came to town.
