Chapter 95 The Best Husband
Zhou Ying wiped her hands on her apron and asked her husband to pour everyone a cup of hot water to warm them up.
"It's cold, and it would be too painful for the child to come here, so I left her at home with my grandparents."
Having said that, Zhang Guixiang still looked a little disappointed as she didn't see her little granddaughter.
What's more, she knew what kind of people her mother-in-law and father-in-law were. They were biased parents.
The son-in-law is the second son, and neither his father nor his mother loves him.
Before my granddaughter was born, there was already an eldest grandson and twin granddaughters in the family. Some of the younger generations were not very enthusiastic towards my granddaughter.
"You, don't you know what your parents-in-law are like? Leave the child to them to take care of him or she will be bullied." Zhang Guixiang glanced at her eldest daughter.
Zhou Ying forced a smile on her face, "Mom, my mother-in-law and her husband are not like that anymore. They treat the children very well and even gave them red envelopes during the Chinese New Year."
"How strange! Did they make a lot of money last year?" Zhang Guixiang exclaimed in amazement.
If her son-in-law hadn't been here, she would have thought that her eldest daughter's parents-in-law were playing some trick.
The two of them talked back and forth, and Jiang Yu and Zhou Xiao sat there, slowly drinking hot water without saying anything.
She and Zhou Ying were not familiar with each other, and if she interrupted, both of them would feel uncomfortable.
"Do you want some more water?" Zhou Xiao looked at his obedient fiancée, who was drinking water from the cup with both hands. His eyes were extremely gentle.
My fiancée's slender white hands were placed on the cup, making the ordinary cup look like precious porcelain.
Zhou Xiao had a smile in his eyes and planned to buy some decent tea sets when he went to Kyoto next time.
His fiancée was a noble person like jade, and she deserved the best things.
"Yes." Jiang Yu handed the cup to Zhou Xiao naturally.
Zhou Xiao stood up and poured her some hot water.
Zhou Tinghuai, who was standing by, saw that his wife had finished the water in her cup, so he poured her another cup as well.
The brothers' actions made Zhou Ying and her husband Zhong Jianguo stunned.
Zhong Jianguo treats his wife relatively well. Unlike some men of this era, he does not care about household affairs at all and leaves them all to his wife.
When he comes home from get off work, he helps with housework, cooking and taking care of the children. Zhou Ying often hears her colleagues say that she is blessed.
But now seeing that her two younger brothers didn't even ask their partners and wives to do something as trivial as pouring water, Zhou Ying was stunned.
It wasn't until Zhang Guixiang called her that she reacted.
"Tell me, why are your parents-in-law so nice to the child?" Zhang Guixiang always felt that the biased in-laws had something to hide.
As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain, and that applies to them. She doesn't believe that they will treat their granddaughter better for no reason.
Zhou Ying understood what her mother meant and her expression became a little embarrassed. Her parents-in-law did have other ideas.
Zhou Ying's face turned red when she thought of the repeated instructions her parents-in-law gave her when they came.
"The county unit is not doing well, my parents-in-law are old and have been laid off, and my eldest brother is afraid that he will be on the next layoff list, so he wants to make plans in advance."
"Make plans in advance? What plans? You don't want to work in our enamel factory, do you?" Zhang Guixiang didn't want to play tricks on her eldest daughter, so she pointed it out directly.
Jiang Yu, the director of the enamel factory, sat there calmly without moving her eyes.
It's just a position, it's not difficult to arrange, but it also depends on whether the other party is worth it.
Zhou Ying looked ashamed and Zhong Jianguo was also feeling uneasy.
Both of them could not be more honest. If the county hadn't pressed them too hard and come to talk about this during the New Year, they wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
"Mom, I will refuse my parents and elder brother when I go back and will definitely not cause you any trouble." Zhong Jianguo was afraid that his mother-in-law would misunderstand them, so he hurried to explain.
The couple knew that the Zhou family was living a better life now because of Jiang Yu.
What's the point of them shamelessly begging to work in the enamel factory?
"It's good that you think so. Anyway, I'm telling you here that the Zhou family doesn't have the ability to arrange a job for you." Zhang Guixiang looked at her son-in-law and saw that he didn't have that intention, and her expression looked a little better.
"If your eldest brother doesn't want to be laid off, why not let him work hard in the factory instead of being lazy all day and being a parasite of socialism? If the factory doesn't lay off such a lazy guy, who else will it lay off?"
Zhang Guixiang had her mind set on this, but she didn't want her son-in-law's family to get involved and cause trouble for Jiang Yu.
Zhong Jianguo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded.
After saying this, the atmosphere in the main room became a little more relaxed, but Zhou Xiao noticed that Zhong Jianguo had dark circles under his eyes and blisters on his mouth, and he didn't look like he was just being pressured by his family.
Zhou Xiao frowned and planned to find someone to talk to later.
Because Zhou Ying and his wife had to return to the county town before dark, the Zhou family had dinner earlier.
After dinner, Zhou Xiao gave his fiancée some hawthorn to aid digestion, then stood up to see his elder sister and brother-in-law off.
Jiang Yu noticed that Zhou Ying looked at her hesitantly, but in the end she silently took the things that Zhang Guixiang had packed for them and left.
She knew that Zhou Xiao was going to deal with this matter and didn't take it to heart at all.
Seeing that everyone in the main room had gone out, she pulled a chair next to her best friend and sat by the fireplace.
He gave half of the hawthorn slices to Chenzhi and sighed.
"It's easy to gain weight during the Chinese New Year. I guess I need to do yoga longer in the evening."
"Where have you gained weight? It would be better if you gain a few more pounds." Chen Zhi pinched Jiang Yu's face, and there was not much flesh on her face.
If Jiang Yu hadn't paid more attention to her physical health before maintaining her figure, and her exercises were mainly for body shaping, she would have kept an eye on people.
"I know what's going on. But you, don't forget to ask Zhou Tinghuai to make tonic medicine." Jiang Yu patted her best friend's shoulder.
The tonic was specially prepared by a reliable Chinese medicine doctor she asked, and combined with the nutritionally balanced food prepared by Aunt Miao, Chen Zhi's originally depleted body was basically replenished, but she still needed to be careful in her daily life.
Chen Zhijiang smiled and nodded. Although it was a tonic, as long as it had the word "medicine" in it, it wouldn't taste very good.
Even Chen Zhi, who has a very strong self-awareness, is afraid of drinking these Chinese medicines.
"If you don't want to take medicine, take good care of your body. If you are deficient in the future, you will have to continue taking it." Jiang Yu leaned close to her bestie's ear and whispered devilishly.
Chen Zhi was successfully threatened, and raised four fingers to guarantee it, but then, in the speechless look of Jiang Yu, he guiltily withdrew one finger.
"Looking at Shen Hui's situation today, do you think there is a high possibility that she and Li Changjun will divorce?" She changed the subject.
Jiang Yu took a bite of hawthorn and said, "It should be difficult for them to divorce. As long as Li Changjun still has a little bit of reason and Shen Hui can still make money, he will not easily agree to divorce."
"It's hard to say what Shen Hui said. If Li Changjun gets lucky and reveals a little bit of his appearance as the future richest man in Luzhou, she might hesitate."
"But if Li Changjun wants to remain useless, she will probably think of some way to achieve her goal."
However, based on Shen Hui's previous plan of throwing feces water, this method is likely to be very unethical.
Jiang Yu's eyes moved, wanting to see what the heroine would do.
How could Chen Zhi not know her? The two of them almost grew up together, and they knew what each other was thinking with just a glance.
"I'll ask Zhou Tinghuai to keep an eye on Shen Hui's situation. Don't worry, we will get to know everything clearly."
Jiang Yu immediately narrowed her eyes and rubbed her best friend.
