"Just go back, as if who wants to have that crappy job." When Tian Chun saw that the couple were being chased like dogs, she walked up to her husband and grabbed his arm and wanted to walk out.
"It's all your fault, you spendthrift woman. My parents just came back one day ago and you're already saying these useless words. Look how angry you've made my parents and my younger sister. Hurry up and apologize to them." Lu Qingmu shook off the hand that was holding his arm, raised his hand and slapped Tian Chun in the face, scolding her and asking her to apologize quickly.
"Okay, Lu Qingmu, I gave you courage, didn't I? You actually dared to fight me." Tian Chun covered his numb face, glared at Lu Qingmu and said: "I tell you, if you don't want to go home with me now, then don't go back for the rest of your life."
After saying this, Tian Chun stared at everyone in the yard with a serious look, then turned and ran out.
"Dad, little sister, Xiaochun is just young, you guys shouldn't be like her." Lu Qingmu was worried when he saw his wife run out, but he still stood there and apologized to his dad and little sister before saying hello and turning around to chase them away.
"Alas!" Father Lu looked at his third son who ran away and shook his head helplessly.
Then he turned to his two sons and asked, "Has your third brother's wife been taking things from your mother's house in the past few years?"
"Take it. You didn't see it. Every year when the grain is distributed, my third sister-in-law takes most of the family's grain back to her parents' home. Now her two children are thinner than my eldest brother's two children." When Zhao Xiaohua heard what her father-in-law said, she spoke on the side without waiting for her husband and uncle to speak.
"I told her at the beginning not to give all the food to her parents' home, but she wouldn't listen. She would rather let her own children starve than not take the food back to her parents' home for her nephew to eat." Zhao Xiaohua got angry whenever she mentioned this. She didn't know what was wrong with Chen Juan and Tian Chun. Why did they have to take all the food back to her parents' home instead of giving it to their own husbands and children? If this isn't a disease, then what is it?
"Alas!" After hearing what his second daughter-in-law said, Father Lu didn't know what to say. After all, he and his wife would live with their daughter in the future, so it would be better for him and his wife to stay out of their son's family affairs.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about them. How you live your life depends on yourself. It's not right for your parents to control you for your whole life." Lu Qinglin looked at his father sighing and started to comfort him.
"I know everything." After saying this, Father Lu sighed again, then laughed again and started chatting with his two sons.
Lu Qingyan looked at her second sister-in-law and didn't ask her if she was serious about the job she had just found for them.
He took the initiative to look at Zhao Xiaohua and said, "Second sister-in-law, I just told my eldest brother that he is serious about finding a job. When I get back, I will ask you about it. If I find one, I will write to you. You can also send a letter of introduction and go together."
"Little sister, please stop it. It's not that easy to find a job in the city. If it were easy, there wouldn't be so many city kids coming to our countryside in recent years." Zhao Xiaohua didn't take her sister-in-law's words seriously, so she waved her hand and told her to stop bothering.
Seeing her second sister-in-law like this, Lu Qingyan didn't say anything else. Anyway, she would write to them when she found a job.
If they can't find it, they won't blame themselves.
Mother Lu was wiping her tears while lighting a fire in the kitchen. When she heard crackling sounds coming from the pot, she came to her senses and turned off the fire.
She had just heard what her third daughter-in-law and son said in the kitchen, and it was impossible not to feel cold.
But since things have turned out like this, I'll just pretend nothing happened.
So she reached out to wipe away her tears, opened the lid of the pot, took out the chicken and mushrooms, and stewed the wild rabbit.
After everything was cooked, he went out and called his second daughter-in-law to fetch the two children so that the whole family could have dinner here in the evening.
"No need, mother, let's go home and eat now." Zhao Xiaohua knew that her eldest uncle's family didn't have much food, so when she heard what her mother-in-law said, she waved her hand and said she would go home to eat and not stay here anymore.
"I'm not asking you to eat for free. Go back and pick up the children, and come over to get some food. I stewed chicken and mushrooms, just enough for my two grandchildren to eat." Mother Lu didn't expect her second daughter-in-law to be so sensible now, so she directly asked her to go pick up the children and bring some food.
"Okay, then let me go back and pick up the children now." Zhao Xiaohua heard what her mother-in-law said, so she had to stand up and go home, telling her two children to come first. She went to the kitchen and scooped out several bowls of fine grains, and also scooped out a lot of coarse grains, as if she was giving them to her sister-in-law's family as well.
"Second sister-in-law, why did you bring so much food?" After Lu Qingyan got out the bowls and chopsticks, she saw her second sister-in-law carrying a lot of food. She immediately asked in surprise.
"I just thought that my eldest brother didn't have that much food, so I brought more over so that you can eat more." Zhao Xiaohua said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Looking at her second sister-in-law like this, Lu Qingyan truly felt that the person in front of her was very different from the one in her memory.
Section 85
But this second sister-in-law is pretty good, at least not like her third sister-in-law.
"Oh, there's no need to bring so much food here. If you bring it here, what will you eat?" Lu Qingyan waved her hand and asked her to take some back when she left.
"No, my mother-in-law has cooked so much meat. We still don't have enough food." When Zhao Xiaohua sent the bag of food to the kitchen, she watched her mother-in-law scoop out the meat and drooled.
She never imagined that her mother-in-law could stew so much meat. If she used it sparingly, it would probably last her a year.
The more Zhao Xiaohua thought about it, the more distressed she felt. She stood there, patting her chest and muttering softly, "I can't think about it anymore. I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more distressed I feel."
"What are you mumbling about? Why don't you come and serve the dishes?" After Lu's mother scooped out all the dishes, she saw Zhao Xiaohua patting her chest and mumbling softly, and she said unhappily
"Oh, here it comes." Zhao Xiaohua was called back to her senses. She hurriedly picked up the big bowl and carried it to the main room regardless of the heat.
"Mom, it smells so good." Gu Qiming looked at the chicken served on the table, swallowed his saliva, pulled his mother's clothes and whispered
"If it smells good, eat more later." Lu Qingyan imitated her son and whispered to him.
"Yeah." Gu Qiming nodded repeatedly, holding his brother's hand and whispering: "Brother, there are four cousins there. If we can't grab the food from them later, let mom help us pick up the food."
"Okay." Gu Jingming heard his brother's words, looked at their small bodies, then looked up at the bodies of his four cousins opposite him, and nodded silently.
Lu Qingyan was amused by her two sons' words. She then reached out and touched their heads and said, "Don't worry, there is plenty of meat today, enough for you to eat."
"Yeah."
