Gu Yi smiled helplessly: "Mom, when did we ignore you? Ah? When did you say that?"
Forehead?
Ying was slightly embarrassed and stammered, "Just now I said I wanted to eat with you, but you refused! If you have meat to eat, we will have meat too. You don't want us to eat with you, what else can this be but a sign that you don't want to bother with me? Huh?"
Gu Yi curled his lips: "If I really didn't want to pay attention to you, I would have stopped talking to you a long time ago."
"You stinky boy!" Ying put her hands on her hips and cursed, "Now you can make money on your own and have grown strong, so you don't need your mother anymore?"
Gu Yi turned his face away awkwardly, not daring to say anything more.
Ying Teng sat down at the dining table and said loudly, "Aqi, I've decided! Starting tomorrow, Xuan and I will move here to live with you! You two brothers must be responsible for our three meals a day!"
Although the environment in the suite is good, Gu Xuan is either in class or studying in her room. When she is not at home, no one talks to her. When she is at home, she doesn't talk either. It is so quiet and lonely.
Although it was a bit cold during the day, no matter how cold it was, it was not even a bit colder than the winter in Beijing, so she would go downstairs for a stroll after dinner and chat with people in the shipyard.
When she feels lonely, she can go downstairs to chat with the old ladies and old men, but she has to do three meals a day and housework no matter how much she dislikes it, and she can't avoid it.
She was lazy from childhood. She was forced to work only after her husband passed away and her two daughters were still young.
Later, Zi Aqi married a country fisherman's girl. She didn't have to do any work. She was either sitting or sleeping. She lived a very comfortable life.
For more than three years, she had gotten used to such a lazy and comfortable life. Now asking her to go back to her old ways of working, preparing meals, washing clothes and cleaning the house every day - it was simply asking for her life!
She was really too lazy to move and really wanted to go back to the old days when she could just sit there and relax with her daughter-in-law working for her.
Gu Qiwen pretended not to hear and put the washed rice into the pot to steam.
Then he used cloth to surround the perimeter of the lid and seal the gaps one by one.
Ying slammed the table: "Aqi! Did you hear that? You all have your own families and careers! It wasn't easy for me to raise you all! Now that you can make money, you have to support me!"
Gu Qi calmly took out the kelp and cut it into small pieces, saying, "I heard it. The neighbors can hear your loud voice, so how could I not hear it?"
"We'll move in tomorrow!" Ying shouted in an announcing tone.
Gu Qi said calmly: "No."
Ying said without getting angry: "How many people are there in our family now? Ah Xuan and I live together, your family of three live together, and Ah Yi and his wife live together - it costs a lot of money to prepare three meals! Besides, I'm old now, I can't do housework anymore. You all have wives, and the housework should be done by the newcomers. You can't let me, an old man, do it for the rest of my life."
At this moment, the sound of the door opening was heard outside!
Little Tiger, who was playing in the yard, shouted happily: "Mom! Aunt! You are back!"
Chen Xingling pushed the bicycle towards the big tree, and gently reminded him: "Huzi, you can only play on the grass. There has been no sunshine these two days, and you still have three pairs of pants that are not dry. If you get them dirty again, you will have to go to school naked tomorrow."
"I know!" Little Tiger responded with a smile.
Zhao Xiaoxing carried a large basket and walked straight to the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw her angry mother-in-law, and she was so scared that she stopped.
"...Mom, you're here."
Ying stood up suddenly, his chubby yellow-spotted face looking gloomy.
"Now that you are here, I will tell you all at once - starting tomorrow, I will bring Ah Xuan with me to live and eat with you. I am old and can no longer do housework, so I will have to rely on you to support me in the future."
Zhao Xiaoxing was stunned after hearing this and stood there at a loss.
Chen Xingling, who was walking up from behind, rolled his eyes secretly and walked into the room calmly.
"Mom, there aren't enough rooms here. Besides, we have to go to work and school during the day, so we don't have time to stay home and cook three meals for you."
Ying said angrily, "How come such a big place is not enough to live in? Let's move our beds here, and Xuan and I will live in the study room! If three meals a day is not enough, then we can have two meals. I'll make something for lunch. You'll be here in the morning and evening, so you'll be responsible for cooking."
"I don't agree." Chen Xingling refused bluntly.
Ying: “…”? ? ! !
Then, her old face turned red and she looked at Gu Qi angrily.
"Aqi, you-you look at her! You-how dare your wife to challenge me! I am your biological mother! Is it wrong for me to live with you? You all make money, so you don't have to take care of the elderly at home?"
Gu Qi was busy with his work, his voice was calm and cold.
"Mom, this is not my place. This is the house Xing'er's parents gave her. I can't do anything here."
Ying's old face turned even redder and she glared at Chen Xingling angrily.
"Okay! Then you and Xiao Huzi should move back to the first floor of Linjiang! This is her house, so let her live there by herself! Your last name is Gu, so you must move back to the place where your last name is Gu!"
It's just two rooms, isn't it? What's the big deal? It's what her parents gave her, so she can't do it with Aqi!
It's really strange! If you love your daughter so much, why did you marry her off? Why not just keep her at home and raise her yourself?
Gu Qi glanced at his old mother, his eyes full of helplessness.
"My wife and children are here. Where can I go if I'm not here? I have to save all my salary to help you pay off your debts. Now Xing'er buys all the meals for the family. Huzi and I will move back to the first floor of the riverside house. In the future, will the three generations of us live together and starve?"
Chen Xingling suppressed his laughter and turned around to wash his hands.
Ying's arrogance instantly disappeared, and she stammered: "Why did you return her money?! Isn't her money also your money?"
Gu Qi said in a deep voice: "Mom, if Xing'er hadn't used the funds from the construction site to pay off your debt, where would we find a few hundred yuan to redeem you? The evil people came to our door and said that if you don't pay back within three days, they will sell Ah Xuan. You don't know how to repay kindness, and you keep making sarcastic remarks all day long!"
He didn't know how much money his wife had, because the money she earned was hers. If she didn't dare to tell him, he would never dare to ask.
He is a man, and it is his responsibility to support his family and his wife and children. His wife pays for the daily chores at home, which has reduced a lot of his burden. If not, how could he give all his basic salary to his wife?
Five hundred yuan is not a small amount of money, and the construction site has not been completed yet. If the wife pays out so much money at once, it might have affected her and Dali's work.
He had accumulated more than two hundred yuan in savings, but Xing'er asked him to save it, saying there was no rush to pay it back.
Although she said so, he still had to work hard to save money so as not to delay her and Dali's intentions.
After being scolded by her eldest son, Ying's arrogance soon disappeared.
"Well... if Xuan and I move in and live downstairs, we won't have to worry about preparing extra meals. Isn't that a good way to save money and effort? Besides, you can also take care of Xuan's studies. She will take the college entrance examination next semester."
Gu Qi shook his head firmly: "There's no need to save your food. Ah Xuan will ask the teacher when he encounters questions he doesn't know how to answer, and will come to me when he encounters questions he doesn't know how to answer on weekends. You don't need me to take care of him all the time."
Seeing that she could not force him, Ying quickly changed her attitude.
"Aqi, I'm old now, and I can't work as hard as I used to. I get tired when I work now, and my limbs ache. You should think about me... You can't work me to death, right?"
Gu Yi, who was standing behind him, couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Mom, you run around the shipyard every day, but you never seem tired? The day before yesterday, I saw you hanging out on the rooftop of the shipyard with a few old ladies, watching the new ships being launched into the water, right?"
She eats her fill every day and runs around the shipyard with nothing to do. She is full of energy. Why have I never heard her complain of being tired?
A while ago, she sat at the mahjong table for more than ten hours, but I didn’t hear her complain about back pain or limb pain?
After being exposed, Ying hesitated, "Going up and down the stairs isn't that tiring, I'm used to walking, right? Working is different, I have to squat and go into the water, my hands get sore easily when I touch cold water. Now my belly is a little too big, my legs get sore easily when I squat."
