"Someone's come from next door again...!"
Who is it?
"Who else could it be? It's those remaining in-laws, another whole carload this time!" Aunt Qiao's daughter-in-law said jealously.
Aunt Qiao --
"Don't listen to his family's affairs anymore!" Aunt Qiao thought about how she hadn't gotten any benefits in a long time and had even gotten herself into trouble.
My wife and son have already given them a stern warning: don't air your dirty laundry in public, and try to argue less in the future.
Qiao's daughter-in-law turned her back on her mother-in-law for a moment, then continued chatting.
"Mother, there are two more women this time!"
"Two women?"
"Hmm, I've never been here before. Right now, Nobu is helping that old woman move her things!"
Aunt Qiao felt a shiver run down her spine and a tearing sensation when she thought of the fierce Chen's mother.
Qiao's daughter-in-law was still thinking about the things on the oxcart. She had just seen a burlap sack filled with rice grains.
Think about it, the autumn harvest has just started in the countryside, so it's not new grain.
When Xiaolian came out of the house, she saw her mother-in-law and her husband's grandmother, both of whom had jealous and scheming expressions on their faces.
With a disdainful sneer, she walked past them and headed out.
"Where have you been showing off again?" Qiao's daughter-in-law called out irritably.
"Go away, Mother?" Xiaolian said sarcastically.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were furious and immediately wanted to argue back, but Xiaolian retorted, "Has the mother-in-law forgotten what the father-in-law said?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...
In the end, I could only watch helplessly as they left.
After a long while, Qiao's daughter-in-law deflated and roared angrily, "Mother, this life is too pathetic!"
Aunt Qiao frowned. She was the mother-in-law herself, and although she did most of the housework, her daughter-in-law didn't dare to argue with her.
My grandson shouldn't have married this woman; all the grandmothers and mothers-in-law have to put up with her attitude.
"Sister-in-law, your belly is so big!"
Many people came to Su Xia's house today, including Mr. and Mrs. Chen, and the couple Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun.
When Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia first visited Su Xia's house, they were initially intrigued by the furnishings, and then compared them to their own house.
My older brother and sister-in-law are really something else; this has only strengthened my resolve to rely on them in the future.
As for the unpleasantness of the past, the two of them gracefully forgot it.
The three Chen brothers were busy in the courtyard, while the rest of the people gathered in the living room.
The first thing Mr. and Mrs. Chen noticed was Su Xia's complexion; they saw that their eldest son looked very well.
Looking at her belly again, it was really big. Just thinking about welcoming two grandsons in the near future made her realize how big it was.
Yes—the elderly couple firmly believed it was their grandson, because of a kind of blind confidence in their eldest son that he was their grandson.
"Eldest daughter, you sit down, we'll do it ourselves!" said Chen's mother.
Su Xia....
She didn't post anything at all.
Xia Laidi and Liu Chunxia exchanged a glance, and both saw in each other's eyes, "The mother-in-law is so biased!"
Because they were taking care of Su Xia's pregnant belly, Chen's father and his family didn't stay for a meal. Instead, they drove their oxcart to the two families' houses in the county town.
At Chen Jiandang's house, Daya looked at her family with surprise and delight. "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, what brings you all here?"
Chen Jiandang said happily, "I delivered grain yesterday, and I'm here today to bring you more grain!"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were overjoyed. Both children were their flesh and blood; since their eldest son was doing well, they naturally hoped that their second and third sons would do well too.
But it looks really good now. I used to think about how I could go to school with my daughters.
Look—now he's a primary school teacher in the county town, and everyone in the village envies him.
"Da Ya, what about this month's salary?" Xia Laidi suddenly asked.
The Chen family was speechless, feeling utterly exasperated. In such a warm atmosphere, couldn't you just shut up or become mute?
Daya had long been used to her mother's strange behavior, so she wasn't angry or worried.
While my father and third uncle were moving grain, I took out my schoolbag and first took out a bag of brown sugar and a pound of pastries.
They placed it next to Mr. and Mrs. Chen, saying, "Grandpa and Grandma, this is for you. We were originally planning to give it to you when we came home!"
Xia Laidi—she was about to snatch it, but luckily she stopped in time.
Liu Chunxia felt helpless; her second sister-in-law was still prone to making mistakes when it came to money.
At this moment, Chen Jiandang came in, and Daya took out some money and handed it to her father.
"Dad, last month's salary won't be paid until the 1st of next month!"
Xia Laidi was unoccupied this time, so he reached out his hand directly.
However, with a loud snap, Xia Laidi pulled it back, making a really loud noise.
Chen Jiandang waited for him to glare at her, then looked at the money in her hand, a total of 25.
He then took out another 10 yuan and gave it to Daya. "Keep a few yuan for yourself, and give the rest to your family!"
Mr. and Mrs. Chen nodded, agreeing that this was good for the child. Chen Jianjun and Liu Chunxia seemed to think the same thing.
Ng Ng Xia Lai Di immediately objected, "No, why should so much of that money be kept?"
"We've supported her for so long, are we just letting it go to waste!"
"You're spouting nonsense again! Da Ya is our child, how can she be wasted?" Chen Jiandang angrily rebuked.
"What happens when she gets married? Won't her good job just be taken advantage of by her in-laws?"
Chen Jiandang gave her a disdainful look and said, "I see your daughter has helped her family quite a bit since she got married!"
Xia Laidi....
Then, noticing the angry looks in his parents-in-law's eyes, he retreated guiltily.
The customer was still eyeing the 10 yuan in Da Ya's hand.
He leaned over and said directly, "Da Ya, give me the money, I'll keep it for you!"
Daya was speechless. Was she stupid? "Mom, ask Dad for it!"
Xia Laidi was surprised to be rejected again and angrily raised her hand.
"You try doing it?" Chen Jiandang's voice rang out from behind.
Xia Lai Di was willing to endure it for now, but she knew there would be no chance later.
There was a little incident here. I went to Chen Jianjun's house to put the grain away.
The family climbed onto the oxcart, with Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun taking turns driving.
As they drove into the village, Chen's mother, no longer wanting to hold back, started yelling at Xia Lai Di.
"You're such a mother, isn't your daughter your own child?"
"This shameless guy is asking for money from girls, is he just trying to feed his family again?"
Xia Laidi regretted it; she should have held back and asked for it privately.
"Mother, what are you saying? Am I my parents' child?"
"You're their child, so earn your own money! If you're capable of that, I won't stop you!" Chen's mother said disdainfully.
Xia Laidi dared not look at her mother-in-law anymore and hid to the side. She had forgotten how formidable her mother-in-law was during these years of good life.
Liu Chunxia suppressed her laughter, her face turning purplish-red.
The noise at the old house is normal, after all, Xia Laidi has been clamoring for wages ever since Daya started working.
Unexpectedly, he still didn't give up and asked for it directly in front of Mr. and Mrs. Chen!
Chen Jianguo reported the grain purchase to Su Xia.
"800 jin of rice..."
"so much?"
Chen Jianguo sighed, "Wife, don't forget about the old chief, and that couple!"
Su Xia.....
How could I have forgotten about this? I didn't expect that I would end up raising more people than before.
"We have even more potatoes and sweet potatoes this year! Dalin is itching for us to buy even more!" Chen Jianguo couldn't help but say.
"300 jin of potatoes, 300 jin of sweet potatoes, and 100 jin of Chinese cabbage—I listened to you and didn't take that much. We have plenty of radishes from our own plot, so we didn't take those!"
Su Xia nodded. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are considered food. Actually, she had enough food in her space, but there was no reason to take it out.
Su Xia did the math; this time she bought three tons of grain. She sighed, no wonder the villagers said she was a spendthrift.
If she goes to work, even if the workload isn't heavy, at least the children's annual food rations will be guaranteed, which would save a lot of money.
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Su Xia woke up with a start and quickly shook her head. Farm work? That was absolutely impossible!
"How?"
Chen Jianguo handed over the gifts from the old commander and the couple to Su Xia.
"They gave it all to me. This time I'm giving them 50 catties of rice noodles, which should be enough for them to eat for a while!"
Su Xia nodded and opened the door without even thinking.
I stared in shock—it was truly dazzling!
