In the old house next door, Chen's mother was mending clothes in the house when she suddenly heard shouting coming from outside!
"Second brother, why are you making such a fuss? Can you act like a mother? Second brother is unlucky to marry you. You are incompetent at everything and you eat everything you eat."
Xia Lai Di was excited and wanted to say something, but she was stuck after being scolded by Chen's mother.
It only took him a short while to react, and (being used to being scolded) he started to complain about what he had heard outside: "Mom, this is a big thing...it's spread everywhere."
Mother Chen looked at the second son's face with a gloating expression, "Fart soon", she would never admit that she was also a little curious.
"Mom, didn't my sister-in-law go to the county town yesterday? Guess what she brought back?"
"It's the coal stove. The news has spread all over the village. Yesterday, Aunt Yufen and Aunt Lanxiang were also in the village. Now the news has spread all over the village."
"You said this sister-in-law, a coal stove costs more than 100 yuan, not to mention burning coal, really?
Mother, do you think that all of eldest brother's wealth has been wasted by him? ”
Xia Laidi saw that her sister-in-law must have been scolded this time.
Call her show-off!
Liu Chenxia on the side also opened her eyes wide in shock, and then looked lonely. She originally thought that her sister-in-law had no money. Alas... When she thought about her own family's life and then looked at her sister-in-law's life, there was really no comparison, it was a huge pit!
Chen's mother was also very angry. When she heard that everyone in the village knew about it, she realized that good news doesn't spread quickly, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. Now even the dogs in the village know that their daughter-in-law is a spendthrift.
"Okay, let's go check it out. You from the second family are the same. Keep your face to yourself. She's your sister-in-law. If you go to the village and talk about your wife again, I'll cut your skin."
Mother Chen was still rational, but she still wanted to go and take a look. The old family was becoming less and less frugal, and she had to go and remind them that in the face of a famine, it was still important to prepare food.
When Xia Lai Di saw her mother-in-law going to her eldest sister-in-law's place, she wanted to grin in excitement thinking about her eldest sister-in-law being scolded, but she held back.
But I still wanted to watch the fun, so I followed my mother-in-law and brought my third brother’s wife along as well.
Su Xia and Niuniu were testing the coal stove, and the mother and daughter also roasted a sweet potato on the surface.
Niu Niu was also jumping for joy. This time she could play around the living room by herself and she wouldn't be cold even if she wore less.
When he saw grandma coming in, he greeted her happily, "Grandma, look - the coal stove my mother bought is so warm."
When Su Xia saw Chen's mother coming, she didn't think much about it and thought she was here to get matches and salt.
He asked the three people to sit down and poured them some hot water. Mother Chen also put brown sugar in her bowl.
Xia Lai Di came in and saw the drastically changed living room. There were many things there that she had never seen before, and her face was twisted with jealousy.
Liu Chunxia looked at the clean, tidy and warm living room and felt the warmth coming from her body. She thought that her sister-in-law was living a real life. If it were her, she would - well, she was still very frugal!
When Chen's mother saw the coal stove, she was a little angry at first, but as soon as she sat down and saw the brown sugar water prepared by her eldest daughter-in-law, she thought, "That's it. Since she had already bought it, what can she do about it? Return it."
"This thing costs a lot of money, right?"
Su Xia looked at Chen's mother's distressed face and her brother and sister-in-law's gloating faces - it seems that the speed of transmission is fast enough, even faster than the Internet in later generations.
Su Xia may not understand the power of coal stoves. Nowadays, rural areas still rely on heating on the kang, and if conditions are better, they will build a fire wall.
"Well, it's really expensive, almost 80 yuan, but you gave me a big bag of coal, so it's quite appropriate."
"It's an old house, where's the kang? Why buy this thing? It costs so much money to burn coal." When Chen's mother heard that it was 80 yuan, she felt distressed. Still couldn't help nagging.
"A coal stove is better than a kang. Besides, if there is a coal stove in the living room, Niuniu won't have enough space to play. You know that the bedroom is very small."
"Grandma, Niuniu loves it. It's hot and cozy. Niuniu can even roast sweet potatoes for you to eat."
Niu Niu looked at her grandmother and said "Mom", and hurriedly took out a sweet potato to coax her.
Mother Chen was no longer angry when she saw her lovely granddaughter putting the sweet potato into her mouth. After all, the child benefited from it.
Su Xia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her adopted daughter making Chen's mother smile. She was really not good at this. Chen's mother was nagging, so she might have gotten angry.
Xia Lai Di looked at Chen's mother being coaxed, with a sad face. She wanted to see her mother-in-law scold her eldest sister-in-law. - This mother-in-law is really biased.
After sitting and talking for a while, Chen's mother returned with her other two daughters-in-law, taking the things they had brought with them. This saves Su Xia from having to make another trip.
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense and take good care of your husband and children.
You can't even give birth to a son, you'll be in trouble, no one will take good care of the child, if you get jealous, and keep talking nonsense, let the second child send you back to your mother's home."
Chen's mother scolded the second son's family, saying that the second son didn't care about his children and always gossiped about his wife, and this time he was dragging his own son into it.
Xia Laidi was embarrassed when she was scolded, and she was still a little unconvinced. "Mom, the whole village is talking about it, not just one person."
"Mom, if you are my sister-in-law, you can take good care of the child."
When Chen's mother heard this, she became even angrier. It was really a daydream.
"What, you dislike the second one? Why don't you piss yourself in the mirror? What kind of character do you have? If you weren't the second one who was a slacker, you would never have been allowed into the house."
Chen's mother couldn't stand Xia Laidi the most. Her family favored boys over girls. When she got married, the betrothal gift was 10 yuan and a new set of clothes, but when she came, all the money and clothes were withheld by her parents' family.
After entering the house, I restrained myself at first, but gradually I found myself lazy and greedy. I didn't care about my own children and would send anything good to my parents' home.
"Mom...you are biased. It's obvious that my sister-in-law is a spendthrift, but you keep saying that."
Xia Lai Di felt a little aggrieved. She was the mother of three children, but she was still scolded by her mother-in-law.
"Humph - I am biased. So what? It's not like you just found out about this today.
Go out less from now on, clean your room well, and tidy up the men and children more quickly. ”
"Alright, if you can give birth to a grandson for the Chen family, I'd still be partial to you, - hum..."
After scolding, Chen's mother turned around and went back to rest. She didn't dare to scold her eldest daughter-in-law. She scolded him casually and still wanted to go home. Go to hell.
After being scolded, Xia Lai Di ran back to the house and cried.
Chen Jiandang looked at his wife crying and did not try to comfort her, but the more people tried to comfort her, the more excited she became.
Liu Chunxia was also feeling uncomfortable when she returned to her room. Chen's mother looked at her and pointed at and scolded her second sister-in-law. In fact, she was also a victim because she didn't give birth to a son.
Su Xia and Niu Niu here were happily eating roasted sweet potatoes. They tore off the outer skin to reveal the yellow fruit inside, which tasted fragrant and sticky.
She is not sure either. Even if she knew about the lawsuit involving the old house, it has nothing to do with her.
