"Didn't I tell you all? Let the fourth brother solve his own problems. If you can provoke the Zhang family, you can clean up the mess yourself!"
The old man was very angry about the trouble caused by his youngest son.
There are so many people he could choose from, but he chose the girl from Old Zhang's family.
The girls from the Zhang family are so easy to marry.
When the fourth son gets married, it is impossible for them to follow the third son's dowry.
The third brother has been sending money home every month for so many years. Now that he is so old, he finally finds a girl he likes.
If they, as parents, don't care, the third child will probably completely alienate himself from the family.
The third child is currently the most promising one in the family.
I also hope that the third brother can help other brothers and sisters in the future.
So the Zhang family wants such a high bride price, but we can’t indulge them.
Let’s leave the Zhang family alone for a while first.
"I work hard every day. Why is my life so hard?" the old lady shouted in the yard.
It's already so late, and the third brother and his wife don't even come out to help with the work. They just stay in the house.
The eldest and second sisters-in-law in the yard looked at each other in confusion. Who was the old lady talking to?
They both just came back.
I hope you didn’t offend your mother-in-law.
"Mom, I guess it's because you ate too much bitter melon and coptis root when you were a kid. You see, I've been eating delicate food since I was a kid, so I just enjoy it."
Jiang Yuzhu knew that Old Lady Xu was warning her.
When he came back, he didn't even know how to help her with the work.
But why?
Her own daughter is eighteen years old and doesn't have to work, but she insists on asking her daughter-in-law to do the work.
The old lady is willing to endure hardship, but she is asking for it.
But it's not her fault.
The suffering she endured had nothing to do with her.
"The third daughter-in-law!"
"You're back!"
When Mr. Xu saw his third daughter-in-law, he knew that it was his third son and his wife who had returned from their mother's home.
"Dad, eldest brother and his wife, second brother and his wife." Xu Lei followed Jiang Yuzhu out.
"Third brother, you're back!"
"Okay, wash your hands and eat first. We can talk after dinner if you have anything to say." The old man spoke and no one else dared to say anything.
The eldest sister-in-law scolded the second sister-in-law, "You are talking about all of this, it's outrageous. When we got married, how much was the betrothal gift?"
"They're so good, they're going to pay a sky-high price."
"I'm telling you, you and I are from the same country, so don't be disloyal. If the fourth brother insists on spending 500 yuan on a bride price, he must compensate us."
My sister-in-law has been dissatisfied for a long time.
Why are they all daughters-in-law, but the third daughter-in-law gets so much betrothal gifts, while they get so little?
After working like a slave for so many years, it's only worth that little money.
The third daughter-in-law is an educated youth and a city dweller, so they can still tolerate it.
Now the fourth son’s wife is a rural girl like them, and she also wants a betrothal gift of 500 yuan, but no way!
"Sister-in-law...I..." The second sister-in-law was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything.
"You're a damned thing. Watch my gaze when the time comes." The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were arguing with each other behind, and Xu Meili saw it all.
I thought it was already noisy enough just because my third sister-in-law came home.
Unexpectedly, the fourth sister-in-law behind is not bad either.
Before even entering the house, he had already made his elder and younger sisters-in-law unhappy.
"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and serve the food and eat. Why are you waiting for me to serve you and feed you?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at her daughters-in-law.
The eldest sister-in-law looked at Jiang Yuzhu, and the second sister-in-law pulled the eldest sister-in-law.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't say anything and went to the kitchen.
Only then did the sister-in-law see this and follow him out.
The three of them put the food up together and divided the bowls and chopsticks.
Old Mrs. Xu had no energy to cook properly, so dinner was just wild vegetable porridge with pickles.
I also ordered a lot of potatoes.
Jiang Yuzhu frowned as she looked at the bitter and hard-to-swallow wild vegetable porridge.
This is a mixture of all kinds of wild vegetables, chopped up and boiled with cornmeal.
This old lady is reluctant to even leave her roots.
Jiang Yuzhu quickly poured the wild vegetable paste into Xu Lei's bowl.
I took a potato and ate some pickles.
She almost choked to death.
Xu Lei quickly got down to pour her some water.
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry when she saw Jiang Yuzhu's painful expression.
"Snap!"
Slam your chopsticks onto the table.
"Don't eat if you don't like it!"
"Look at how aggrieved you are!"
Over the years, everyone has eaten her cooking, but they have never met someone like Jiang Yuzhu.
Picky.
If you think the food she cooks is not tasty, don’t eat it next time.
"Well, I've been wronged. My mother's cooking is much better than yours. Ask your son, is that right?"
Jiang Yuzhu just had the courage to confront the old lady.
What are you afraid of?
No matter how stupid Xu Lei is, he can't say such a big truth.
"Wife, drink some more water."
"Mom, let's eat. Everyone is hungry. Don't you have something to say?" Xu Lei had to change the subject.
After all, she is his own mother. How could he say to her face that her cooking is not delicious?
I have been eating it for more than 20 years.
Seeing Xu Lei laughing, Jiang Yuzhu reached out and pinched Xu Lei's waist hard.
Xu Lei grabbed the rebellious hand.
Gently comforted her.
"It's up to you to go back." He whispered softly in Jiang Yuzhu's ear.
Jiang Yuzhu rolled her eyes at Xu Lei and continued to fight with her potatoes.
Fortunately, the potatoes were delicious, and they were Jiang Yuzhu’s favorite kind of sandy potatoes.
Seeing that his wife liked it, Xu Lei quickly peeled another one for her.
