Chapter 18 The First Day of the New Daughter-in-law
The next day, Feng Jiaojiao was awakened by the noise in the yard.
"The third son's wife is so lucky. It's already noon, the chickens have laid eggs, but people haven't gotten up yet." Mrs. An complained while rubbing the clothes in her hands.
"Second sister-in-law, don't you think we are destined to be like old oxen? Why don't we have such good fortune as others?"
Mrs. An has been getting up at five in the morning and has been cleaning the house, helping Mother An cook, washing clothes, feeding the chickens, and tidying the yard. She doesn't know how much work she has done, but the new daughter-in-law hasn't gotten up yet.
He inevitably felt unbalanced and complained to his second son's wife in front of An's mother.
The second son's wife didn't dare to say anything. She glanced at An's mother, lowered her head, and did her own thing without saying a word.
"If you can do it, do it. If you can't, get out!" An's mother knew that the eldest son's wife was not holding back her fart.
"Mom, you are so biased. We are both daughter-in-law, but why doesn't she have to get up early while we have to do so much work." Mrs. An thought that when a new daughter-in-law came into the house, she should pretend for a few days to let her relax.
But Feng Jiaojiao just became a hands-off boss. She went into the house before finishing her work last night. That's fine.
This morning was the new daughter-in-law's first meal, and she thought her third brother's wife would have to get up early to cook.
I didn't expect that this meal was made by An's mother. It was almost time for dinner, but she hadn't gotten up yet. There was no way I could rely on her to do the yard work.
"The third son's wife doesn't have to work in the fields. She's supported by the third son's allowance. Why are you always comparing yourself with her?"
"Why don't you get up early? You have three children, two adults, and a family of five. If you don't wash these clothes, who will wash them? And you have five mouths to feed. If you don't work, they'll starve!"
How could Mother An let her daughter-in-law ride on her head? She immediately suppressed her eldest daughter-in-law's arrogance.
Mrs. An didn't dare to say anything, and then she thought of something, "Then... the third daughter-in-law is like this, and what about the fourth daughter-in-law? She doesn't come out to work either. Isn't that a bit too much!"
They are both the same daughter-in-law, but they create two different ones. Who can feel balanced?
"The fourth son's wife is not allowed to take care of the child in the house. Xiao Ba is so young and needs someone to look after him. If you have any objections, why don't you go and take care of the child!" She deserves to be punished.
Why don’t you say that they have fewer children? Unlike these two families, it takes them half a day just to wash clothes.
The fourth son's wife's family also subsidizes her from time to time, for fear that their daughter will be wronged in their family. The fourth son's wife does not eat for free. What the fourth son earns is enough to provide food for the family of three.
The fourth brother's Yue family would take out various coupons from the city to subsidize the family from time to time, but all of them went into the mouths of these children, and they still dared to talk nonsense here.
Among her sons, the eldest and second sons bear the heaviest burden. There are three or four children in the family, and they have no special skills. They can only rely on the income from the land to support the family.
The third and fourth sons are different. The third son received an allowance from his military service, and the daughter-in-law he married is not a poor person. Just look at the big suitcases that Feng Jiaojiao has, and you will know that she must have a lot of money in her hands when she went to the countryside, so there is no need for her to work so hard.
The fourth child has the support of the Yue family, and he is also active. He goes to the black market from time to time to buy things, so he can probably make some money. Don't think she doesn't know.
Such a lazy person, getting up early and going out late for his wife and children, if there is no benefit, she doesn't believe that the fourth child would work so hard. Doesn't her own son understand this?
The eldest and second oldest are not as wealthy as the third and fourth oldest. She and the old man can still help while they are still young, but when they are old and can no longer work, they will have to rely on themselves.
Now that they haven't split up yet, why don't they get along well with others? It will be easier to talk things over if there is any problem in the future. Even a little bit of food that comes out from between their fingers will be enough for both families to have enough food and drink.
It's so stupid.
An's mother understood clearly.
Chen Tingting came out holding the child, "Sister-in-law, if there is any work around the house, just tell me, and I will do it when the child falls asleep."
"But you can't complain to me about the chores inside your own room, like washing clothes."
"Mom, I'll get up and cook tomorrow. You just need to help me look after the kids." Zhao Tingting is no pushover.
Mother An glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Why do you need to cook? I'm not too old to cook yet. Just take care of Yuanyuan."
In order to maintain peace, An's mother decided that she would cook for herself in the future and no one else would be asked to do it. They just needed to take care of their own family to avoid conflicts.
This eldest brother's wife is the type who always wants to have a good time with her words and offends others.
"Oh, fourth sister-in-law, look at you, why are you still angry? That's not what I meant. You take care of the child. Your second sister-in-law and I are at home." Seeing that she had hit a snag, the sister-in-law found a way out for herself.
Chen Tingting was strolling in the yard with her child in her arms. The children surrounded the little sister and played with her.
Feng Jiaojiao heard the noise in the yard and knew it was time for her to get up.
An Jianjun and his brothers went to work in the back yard with their father early in the morning. There is a lot of work to do at home in the countryside.
