Zhang Xiuying and Zhang Jinbao will stay at home for two days.
May Day is coming soon, and the chemical plant needs someone to be on duty. Zhang Xiuying and Zhang Jinbao are both scheduled to be on duty on May Day.
Since Zhang Jinbao started working at the chemical factory with Zhang Xiuying, he realized that his second sister's ability to infuriate people had already reached a level that could make people feel like they were dying.
I had no choice but to stay by Zhang Xiuying's side.
If a brother and sister work together, they will both suffer!
His sister has offended someone, and as her younger brother, he has to help. If he helps, it will be even worse!
Apart from following Zhang Xiuying everywhere, Zhang Jinbao had no other choice.
Zhang Xiuying returned home and started complaining the moment she walked in, finding faults in everything. "The soil in the backyard isn't loose enough. I wanted to come back and plant vegetables when the weather warmed up, but I can't. The windows aren't cleaned and are all scratched. There are cobwebs on the ceiling, but I didn't even bother sweeping them. I'm running low on firewood, but I didn't even bother chopping some to keep ready..."
Jiang Lan, who was waiting to act coquettishly with Zhang Xiuying and make new clothes, couldn't stand it.
"Mom, my dad always has to be on duty and doesn't come home at night, so it's just me and my sister at home. Last time, my hands were bleeding from chopping firewood." Labor and cleaning are usually the parents' responsibilities in other families, so how could these two sisters understand? Jiang Lan searched for every good thing she could think of about Jiang Jun and told her mother one by one, hoping her mother would shut up: "My sister gets up in the morning to buy groceries, cook for me, help me with my homework, and even knits a sweater."
So many advantages, is that enough?
These words not only failed to appease Zhang Xiuying, but instead aroused her suspicion: "Your sister went to buy vegetables? Didn't your father buy them?"
This means Xiao Jiang gave money to Jiang Yun!
Whoever pays for the food will take care of half of the household.
It's equivalent to giving Jiang Yun the power of housekeeper!
No, the financial power of this family belongs to Xiao Jiang and Zhang Xiuying! No one else can have a penny without Zhang Xiuying's consent, even if her daughter has money!
Zhang Xiuying expressed serious dissatisfaction. Her housekeeping power could not be left to others even if she was not at home!
Zhang Jinbao knew his second sister best and listened carefully to her tone. He knew that Zhang Xiuying was about to start blasting firecrackers and cursing, so he immediately drove Jiang Lan out: "Xiaolan, go play with your classmates and come back for dinner."
Jiang Lan saw that Zhang Xiuying's face was not right, so she didn't dare to answer and ran away: "Mom, uncle, I'm going to Zhang Hong's house to play, and then I'll go find my dad and come back for dinner."
Zhang Jinbao rolled up his sleeves and went to the backyard to chop firewood. "Second sister, take a rest. I'll chop firewood and cook. After dinner, I'll loosen the soil."
Zhang Xiuying was dissatisfied: "Dabao, what on earth do you want to do! You just speak for others at the factory, but this is my own home, so what if I say a few words!"
"The children are grown up now, and the little girl needs some dignity! You didn't tell them to do anything, but you're always finding fault with them!" Zhang Jinbao couldn't stand it any longer, "Second sister, look at you, you want to be the best all the time, you should be better than others! But you have a sharp tongue and can't stand the slightest loss. You quarrel with others without knowing right or wrong. Do you think they are your children and you can scold them whenever you want? If my brother-in-law didn't still have some face, he would have fired you long ago!"
She quarreled with others about living in the dormitory and about being assigned to different jobs. When the deputy factory director, who had always taken good care of her and her siblings, told him to be careful about the impact, Zhang Xiuying started to hate him again.
There were several family members working at the chemical plant together. Zhang Xiuying was the one who did the most work, fearless of hardship and fatigue, and did just as much as the men. However, she was known for her harsh words, which ultimately led to her working hard but receiving no recognition. She also caused Zhang Jinbao to be warned twice by his superiors: "If you keep going like this, one day someone will post posters and start a fight against you, and no one will be able to protect you!"
Zhang Jinbao was furious. He still wanted to get his wife out of town once he had established himself. He wanted her to work at the chemical factory as well. After they both got regular jobs and were given houses, he would bring his child out of town and send him to school in the county town. When he was old enough, he would ask his brother-in-law to help him join the army.
Why can others count the good days they look forward to on their fingers, but for him, they are ruined by a scolding?
Zhang Xiuying's face turned pale and blue. "Dabao, you've finally made it. You dare to argue with me! Who are you calling sister? I think calling someone else sister is much more affectionate than calling me! I'll tell Shuiyun!"
Shuiyun is the name of Zhang Jinbao's wife.
Zhang Jinbao was furious: "Second sister, our mother taught us since we were young to remember the kindness of others wherever we go. Look at our eldest sister, wherever she goes, people treat her like family. Who do you remember the kindness of? You quarrel with anyone who treats you well. How can you be so forgetful and heartless!"
He just said that Sister Zheng was very perceptive and knew how to speak, and that was to remind his second sister to learn how to deal with things from her.
Zhang Xiuying actually turned the tables!
No matter how good the relationship between a couple is, they can’t withstand such provocation from others, okay!
Zhang Jinbao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and chopped the wood with his machete even harder, cracking the red bricks on the ground through the granite slabs. If it weren't for his sister, he would have chopped her down long ago!
Seeing that Zhang Jinbao was really angry, Zhang Xiuying curled her lips and went to her bedroom to check what kind of wool Jiang Yonghua had given to Jiang Jun while she was not at home. There were two balls of cashmere wool, which were treasures. She was reluctant to use them herself. If one ball was missing, she would see how she would deal with this naughty girl!
The lock on the cabinet has not been moved, and the fabrics and wool inside are all in good condition.
Zhang Xiuying went to Jiang Lan's room again. On the table was a radio, in the drawer were Jiang Lan's books, and on the kang was the blanket, casually rolled up against the wall. She reached over and flipped through the blankets. At the foot of the kang, she found two candies, flattened and stuck to the kang tiles, impossible to remove. The wrappers were Jiang Lan's favorite glass candies.
"This girl is quite cautious. Did she hide everything in her room because she knew I was coming back?" Zhang Xiuying muttered to herself, "She doesn't even trust her own sister. She must be treating everyone in the family as her enemy!"
Thinking about this, he walked to the backyard again. There was a new iron lock hanging on the door of the hut. "How many things are hidden in this room? It's even bigger than the lock on the front door!"
On the windowsill in the backyard were two used toothbrushes, a toothpaste tube, and a small piece of soap in an old glass canning jar. Two new wires had been strung across the wall, along with a few more clothes drying racks.
There were such big changes at home, but you did it without even telling her!
When she was at home, she would know even if an ant crawled over and left. How much did he do behind her back and how much money did he spend!
Humph, when Xiao Jiang gets home, she will ask Dabao to sleep in this little room. As soon as the door is opened, she will go in to see how much money that damn girl has spent on her!
