Liu Chunxia was already embarrassed by her family's behavior and dared not go out, afraid of the mocking looks from her two sisters-in-law.
But this time she might have overthought things. Su Xia doesn't care about these things at all, and she's even more likely to mock people.
Xia Laidi might actually say something sarcastic, but after being intimidated by Su Xia Daya at their wedding, she didn't sleep that night.
The second time, he took Chen Jiandang to the county hospital. When they returned, he was pale and weak, and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).
When the dog-faced boy brought in his egg, he didn't even bother to acknowledge him.
Seeing her like this, Liu Chunxia strangely felt better. She was busy with Siya's homecoming.
"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law..."
In the living room, Su Xia looked at Daya and the other children playing together, and curiously looked towards the door.
As soon as Liu Chunxia opened the door, she saw several pairs of eyes. "Da Ya is here too!"
"Yes, Auntie, come and sit down!"
"Oh... these two kids are so handsome!" Liu Chunxia didn't forget to praise Dandan and Yaya.
"Thank you, Third Grandma!"
"Why...."
Su Xia, standing to the side, looked at Liu Chunxia's bright smile and wondered how she had recovered so quickly this time.
Liu Chunxia looked at her sister-in-law Daya with a curious gaze, clearly showing her interest.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for coming all this way...!"
Su Xia nodded, and Da Ya didn't say anything either, guessing that it must be because of the ticket.
Sure enough, Liu Chunxia said, "We've used up all the meat coupons at home. Tomorrow, when the four girls return to their parents' home, I'd like to exchange them for two more coupons with my sister-in-law!"
As for the remaining meat, everyone present knows where it goes. Liu Chunxia is also embarrassed, but who can blame her when it comes to her family?
“Okay, I’ll go get it for you!” Su Xia readily agreed.
Liu Chunxia was stunned for a moment, then inwardly berated herself for being so blind and jealous of her sister-in-law behind her back...
After exchanging one yuan for two meat tickets and seeing Liu Chunxia off.
Da Ya then said, "Auntie, Third Aunt's family is like that, so why would Third Aunt still..."
"Delivering something!" Su Xia replied.
"Um...."
In Da Ya's memory, Xia Laidi's family had also done this, but each time they would leave empty-handed, and then her mother would deliver the gifts privately.
Su Xia shook her head. "There aren't that many 'whys.' To put it bluntly, your third aunt's family is poor, so they always come to help when your third aunt needs anything!"
Upon hearing this, Da Ya understood a bit. If they directly took it, it would be called stealing. But if Auntie San offered it to her, then the daughter would give it to her maternal family. Everyone would find fault with that.
If it's given away privately, then wouldn't that be considered stealing?
Why....
Daya sighed, knowing when her mother would understand this principle. But this trip wasn't a complete waste; at least her maternal grandmother's family would still think of her.
The Xia family also had bad luck. They had wanted to find a wife for their grandson, but they were unlucky.
But the Chen family was willing, and later they found a girl from somewhere. Xia's mother was very proud of herself and even came over.
Da Ya remembers that in the end, her father originally wanted to make new clothes for his three sisters, but that was no longer possible.
No doubt, her mother secretly gave her away, and in the end, her father beat her.
From that time on, Daya decided to find a family with a simple background, preferably with both members being literate, so that there would be no preference for sons over daughters.
At that time, Sanya cried and said, "Sister, I will definitely stay here at home in the future..."
Da Ya thought it was a joke, but she didn't expect that he had really married far away and joined the army. It would be wrong if he came back once every few years, let alone once a year.
"Da Ya, what are you thinking about?" Su Xia asked curiously, noticing Da Ya's alternating smiles and deep thoughts.
Daya shook her head. "I miss Sanya!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes, thinking it was something funny.
"Does Sanya correspond with you frequently?"
"Yeah, and Er Ya too. They live far apart, but we still see each other sometimes!"
"That's good. Having a sister is always better than being alone!"
"Um, Auntie, do you know Grandma Er Ya?"
"What's wrong?" Su Xia was taken aback. She had never met the old woman, but she had heard Liu Chunxia mention her. She was just like Xia Laidi's mother.
puff...
Da Ya burst out laughing, and then began to tell the story: "After the marriage, Er Ya's mother-in-law originally wanted to come and live with us, and Er Ya did not refuse at the time."
Su Xia was surprised, not expecting this to happen.
"When the people arrived, Er Ya first took them to the cafeteria for a meal, and then took them shopping. They had everything they needed for the house, including food..." Da Ya said, unable to hold back her laughter.
Su Xia... Do you really find it funny to laugh at yourself?
In the end, the two of them laughed together. It turned out that Er Ya had bought a lot of things. She ate the snacks, the family ate the grains, and they ate the vegetables and meat together.
However, the mother-in-law had no personal clothes or belongings. But everyone in the family compound, and even the entire military unit, knew that Comrade Chen Xia was exceptionally generous and filial to his mother-in-law.
When Er Ya's mother-in-law went out again, intending to find someone to speak ill of her daughter-in-law behind her back, she noticed the way everyone was looking at her...
"Auntie, Chen Xia is such a good comrade. As soon as you came, she took you to the canteen and bought you so much stuff!"
"Yes, how dare you speak ill of your daughter-in-law? I also heard that Comrade Chen and his wife send money back to their hometown every month."
"But who in the family compound knows that Comrade Chen sends money every time wages are paid!"
"Pah... She's never sent anything to her family. Is Comrade Chen even a high school girl?"
"But wait, their own parents raised them with so much hardship, sent them to school, even had them serve in the army, and in the end, it's all for your family...!"
The group of people were all talking at once, and Grandma Siya didn't even have a chance to open her mouth.
Later, there were even some military wives from rural areas who had been oppressed by their mothers-in-law.
One by one, they were filled with righteous indignation: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? You have three sons, why are you asking the other two for money...?"
Grandma Si Ya was so excited that her fingers trembled, and she finally shouted, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Bullshit! How can it not be related? What kind of society are we living in? You still want to set up a mother-in-law shop and oppress your daughter-in-law!"
Grandma Si Ya...
Several military wives looked at her with disdain. "Auntie, I advise you to go back quickly. As soon as you came, even the dogs in the family compound knew what your purpose was. Do you want to steal the young couple's money?"
Grandma Si Ya's eyes widened...
The other military wives looked at her with disdain and eventually reported it directly to the political commissar, and each of them also told their husbands about it.
Soon, Grandma Si Ya was greeted by a group of people led by the political commissar, who then carried out three ideological campaigns.
This made her see stars, and what's worse, Er Ya was crying and pleading for mercy.
"Grandma is a very kind person. She came to help me and Zhijun. You all said that..."
"Waaah...."
"Grandma...you've been wronged by us, it's so pitiful..."
Ha ha.....
Da Ya Le had her saline solution forced out and was lying on the sofa.
Su Xia was initially shocked, but now her face was full of black lines...
So it turns out Er Ya was playing a clever, albeit open, scheme...
