"What? You don't want to stay anymore?"
"I won't stop you if you want to leave. The gate is right there." Don't think that Old Mrs. Xu can't do anything to Jiang Yuzhu.
But the old lady can control the eldest son's wife and the second son's wife with one hand.
She already has two children and has been married into the Xu family for almost ten years. How can she let them rebel?
The old lady was determined that if they left the Xu family, they would have nowhere else to go.
If they go back to their parents' home, they have to ask their parents if there is still room for them.
It is said that women are like spilled water, which is absolutely true.
Do you really think that after marriage, a girl can still be the same as before marriage?
There would be no place for me if I went back.
Not to mention whether my parents would welcome it, even my sister-in-law and brother-in-law would not agree.
Jiang Yuzhu was an educated youth from the city, so she could understand that she was a little spoiled.
The eldest and second daughters-in-law are both from poor families, so why are they pretending to be young ladies?
When the eldest sister-in-law heard that her mother-in-law wanted to drive her away, she immediately softened her attitude and said, "Mom, the second son's wife and I have worked hard to run this family. Even if we don't have any credit, we have worked hard."
"We have been married for so many years, don't you know us?"
"I'm fine, but it's my bad luck. My husband is not up to the task."
"But what about Dabao and Erbao? They are both grandchildren of the Xu family. They are in the period of growth, but they can't even eat an egg. It's too pitiful."
When the eldest sister-in-law mentioned the hardships, she would bring the second sister-in-law along, but when asking for benefits, she never mentioned the two maids from the second room.
The second sister-in-law lowered her head and said nothing, thinking about her two poor daughters.
It was all her fault for being useless and not being able to give them a younger brother to support them.
Jiang Yuzhu knew that the first and second wives must be feeling unhappy, but it had nothing to do with her.
She didn't eat other people's food, so she has the ability to fight for it herself.
Xu Lei also knew that this kind of thing would break out sooner or later, it was just a matter of time.
It would be a good idea to talk it out now while he is at home, so as to avoid bringing up old issues later.
He also wanted to see how his family handled it.
The more Mrs. Xu listened, the angrier she became.
With a "bang", it hit the table.
The corn paste in the bowl was shaken into ripples, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.
"Why, are you planning a rebellion?"
"Am I short of food for Dabao and Erbao? Or am I short of clothes for them?"
"Why are you complaining here?"
The older family has always been taking advantage, and now they have the nerve to cause trouble.
How could the old lady not understand what was going on in this family? She was just pretending to be ignorant.
When we live together, there are bound to be those who suffer losses and those who enjoy the benefits.
She doesn't care about so many things. As long as the family can run smoothly, the right people can get married, and some money can be left for retirement, this is the old lady's goal.
With such a big family, the expenses are bound to be low.
If she hadn't been at the helm, it would have been gone long ago.
The old family has two boys. The older one is eight years old and the younger one is five years old. It is true that these half-grown boys are eating their father out of money.
The two children's appetites are not small at all.
It’s almost as much as an adult’s appetite.
Those who are popular now actually have the nerve to complain.
It's not Ma Sujuan's turn to complain.
It has been a long time since the old lady mentioned the name of her eldest son's wife. She was really angry this time.
Whenever there was something delicious, she would stuff it into the mouths of her eldest and second children.
Not only did he get the benefit but he also just sat there and caused trouble.
Is it stupid?
"Mom, then...then you can't be too excessive. I don't care. I want to eat eggs too."
Ultimately, it's just jealousy of Jiang Yuzhu's special treatment.
It's just using the child as an excuse.
"Besides, the third brother's wife has been married for a while, it's time to let her work. It can't always be me and my second brother's wife doing the work for her."
Jiang Yuzhu was unhappy when she heard this.
What does it mean to work for her?
"Sister-in-law, I'm not happy with what you said. Whether you eat eggs or not is none of my business. Anyway, what I eat is earned by my husband."
"But you said that you and your second sister-in-law worked for me. How did that come about?"
"Did I ask you to help me with the laundry or to help me clean the house?"
Jiang Yuzhu naturally has her confidence.
Xu Lei is her confidence.
The food she eats is not earned by the eldest wife.
"That's exactly how it is. Ever since you got married, you haven't done any work. It's always been me and the second son's wife who did it."
"We are all daughters-in-law, why don't you have to work?"
"The chores in this house should be taken turns among us, so of course you have your share."
"If you don't work, then the second son's wife and I will do it for you!" The eldest sister-in-law has long disliked Jiang Yuzhu.
Not only does she look weird, but she also doesn't have to do any work.
And the betrothal money is much more than theirs.
The same daughter-in-law, but she and the second son’s wife are worth fifty yuan, while the third son’s wife is worth five hundred yuan. The difference is too big.
Why is it that those who spend less money have to work like donkeys and horses, while those who spend more money don’t have to do anything?
Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
Jiang Yuzhu put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at her sister-in-law. "Why, before I married you, didn't you have to work?"
"Whether you work or not has anything to do with whether I marry into your family?"
"Besides, you're not working for me, so don't take me with you."
Jiang Yuzhu's words made Xu Lei laugh.
The eldest sister-in-law was furious with Jiang Yuzhu, "Why is there no place for you? Are you the daughter-in-law of the Xu family?"
"Since you are the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, you have to work!"
Jiang Yuzhu rolled her eyes in disdain. "My husband gives the family ten yuan a month. Do you dare to say that your family of four doesn't take advantage of it?"
"You took advantage of my man and now you want me to work for you. How can you be so naive?"
"Who do you think you're stupid? You've gotten all the good things, and you still have the nerve to complain here."
"I still feel wronged. I only earn ten yuan a month, but I can't eat anything good."
"I'm eating an egg, and you're complaining here. What's wrong with me eating a whole chicken?"
"You didn't eat the chicken my husband hunted, and you didn't use the money and tickets my husband sent you?"
"Since you took this ten yuan, it covers my food rations. My food, clothing, and other necessities are all paid for by my own man. Why should I work for you?"
"Huang Shiren is not as calculating as you, why don't you go to heaven!"
Jiang Yuzhu retorted, pinching her waist.
"You...you..." The sister-in-law was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't argue with the other party.
"Okay!" the old man said.
"Third brother, what do you think?" the old man asked his son directly.
"Dad, I want to ask what my eldest brother and sister-in-law think. After all...what I think doesn't seem to be that important." Xu Lei asked a direct question, putting the old man in a difficult position.
"Third brother, what do you mean?" The eldest brother became anxious when he saw his third brother questioning him.
