Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang went to Yao Yongbo's house together.
In fact, Yao Yongbo's family conditions were not particularly good. Later, Yao Yongbo's father went out to work with others and earned a little money, which made things better. In addition, Yao Yongbo was good at handling things, and most people in Huaihe Village trusted him, so he became the village chief and secretary.
After becoming the village chief, Yao Yongbo was able to receive some salary and allowances from the higher authorities. As a result, the conditions of Yao Yongbo's family gradually improved. They just built three large tiled houses two years ago.
Unfortunately, Yao Yongbo's father did not have a happy life. Two years ago, he encountered a heavy rainstorm and accidentally fell down the mountain and died on the spot.
well.
It's also sad.
As soon as the couple arrived at the door of Yao's house, they heard a quarrel coming from inside -
"I don't know what I'm doing staying in the house all day. I think I'm a bodhisattva after I gave birth to a child and I need to be worshipped every day!"
This is Yao Yongbo's mother's sharp voice, which makes people feel pain in their eardrums.
"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about? Yunlan is in poor health. Do you have to do this?" Yao Yongbo's voice seemed to suppress anger and helplessness.
His mother's words sounded so harsh, but she was his biological mother and he had no way to deal with her.
Yao Yongbo's mother was still cursing, and Chu Yuefang and the others outside heard the reason. It was because Yao Yongbo made breakfast, so Yao Yongbo's mother felt unhappy and thought that Jiang Yunlan should do such work.
But Jiang Yunlan is in poor health now, so Yao Yongbo wants his wife to rest more.
Chu Yuefang's temper flared up immediately. She pushed the door open and walked in, shouting, "Auntie, you know Sister-in-law Yunlan had trouble giving birth, so it's inappropriate to bring up this and that now!"
If it weren't for Yao Yongbo's mother, the careless mother-in-law, Jiang Yunlan's pregnancy wouldn't have been so bad, with premature birth and difficult delivery.
Yao Yongbo's mother really has no conscience at all.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yongbo's mother subconsciously wanted to curse back, but when she saw that the person coming was Chu Yuefang, she stopped.
She was not afraid of Chu Yuefang, she was afraid of Chu Yuefang's mother-in-law, Ling Hancheng's mother.
The old lady of the Ling family is stubborn and protective, and treats her daughter-in-law Chu Yuefang like a real mother and daughter. If Old Lady Yao dares to say anything about Chu Yuefang, Old Lady Ling will definitely come to her house and beat her up.
Old Mrs. Yao is not the oldest in Huaihe Village, but her seniority is very high, and most people dare not challenge her.
Yao Yongbo's mother just glared at Chu Yuefang fiercely and walked away muttering to herself, twisting her fat body.
Only after watching his mother leave did Yao Yongbo breathe a sigh of relief and nodded to Chu Yuefang and the others a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, I'm sorry to have made you laugh..."
Ling Hancheng waved his hand: "I'm used to it."
Chu Yuefang frowned and said, "Brother Yongbo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you really can't let her go on like this. Sister Yunlan hasn't done anything wrong to your family, right? Why is she never getting any good things from your mother every day? How are we going to live in the future?"
Yao Yongbo pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly.
"I know, but I really can't help it..."
After all, she is his biological mother. She would throw a tantrum at any time or complain and threaten to hang herself or take medicine. He was tortured by his mother so much that he had lost all his temper.
Chu Yuefang frowned and was about to continue speaking when she heard Jiang Yunlan's voice from the main room: "Yuefang, come in quickly."
Ling Hancheng patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Go and talk to Sister-in-law Yunlan."
What he meant was to hand Yao Yongbo over to him.
Chu Yuefang nodded and went to the main room.
"Brother Yongbo, let's go sit in the kitchen..."
Chu Yuefang lifted the door curtain of the main room and went in. She saw Jiang Yunlan sitting on the bed. She was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and covered with a thick quilt. A gray-blue swaddling cloth lay beside her. The child was motionless at the moment.
"Sister-in-law, let me take a look at you. Why...why do you look so bad?"
Chu Yuefang hasn't been here much recently, mainly because she wasn't in very good health after giving birth to Xiaowu, and she was too lazy to go out. Even if she went out, she only went to the Su family a few times.
She didn't expect that Jiang Yunlan still looked so ugly even after being out of confinement for so long.
He looked very pale, lifeless and bloodless.
When Jiang Yunlan heard this, she touched her face and shook her head, not knowing what to say.
Chu Yuefang looked around. Although she was in the house, she did not feel the warmth she should have felt. She even felt a little chilly.
"Why is it so cold? Is the chimney blocked?"
Chu Yuefang subconsciously thought about the chimney. If the chimney was not cleaned for a long time, the stove would be full of soot and the heat would definitely not rise.
Jiang Yunlan smiled bitterly, "His mother said it's a waste to burn so many coal briquettes every day, so she told us not to open the vents during the day."
If you want to make the coal stove start a fire, it must rely entirely on the air vent. If you don't poke it open, it won't light well. There is at least a difference of five or six coal balls between the two.
Yao Yongbo's mother also argued that women are not that delicate. It's not like they are in confinement after childbirth. If it's too warm, they will easily get sick if they go out.
To sum up, Jiang Yunlan should stop looking for trouble. She cannot produce coal at will.
When Chu Yuefang heard this, she felt the veins on her forehead throbbing.
"What about Brother Yongbo? Doesn't he care anymore?"
How much can these coal briquettes cost? Jiang Yunlan is in poor health now and has to breastfeed her child, who is only half a year old. How can she be so reluctant to spend a few coal briquettes?
Jiang Yunlan smiled bitterly and shook her head.
In fact, Chu Yuefang knew what Jiang Yunlan meant without her answer. Yao Yongbo was caught between his wife and his mother, so he would just play the peacemaker and there was no solution at all.
Jiang Yunlan looked at Chu Yuefang and couldn't help but envy her: "I... have no choice but to do this. Yuefang, you are luckier than me. You have such a good mother-in-law. Hancheng's mother really loves you like her own daughter..."
Jiang Yunlan really envied Chu Yuefang from the bottom of her heart.
But it wasn't just Jiang Yunlan, everyone else in Huaihe Village also envied Chu Yuefang.
Chu Yuefang gently patted the back of Jiang Yunlan's hand and sighed softly.
There is nothing that can be done about this. You can choose your marriage partner, but no one will choose whether the other person's parents are good or loving.
But Chu Yuefang still felt that the problem ultimately came down to how Yao Yongbo handled it.
If he could be more forceful and suppress his mother's arrogance, things would definitely be much better than they are now.
But Yao Yongbo just can't do it.
I don’t know if Ling Hancheng’s advice can have any effect.
