Chapter 96
Xu Di was chatting about family matters with her mother at her parents' home, and her mother also mentioned Xu Mei's story.
"Your sister wrote to me a few days ago, and she's showing signs of being pregnant.
Last time I asked her if her in-laws had given any indication of her pregnancy. She didn't say anything. We are so far away, I don't know how she is doing. ”
Xu's mother was also very anxious. It was such a long distance and she couldn't get there.
Apart from worrying, all she could do was send some things over from time to time.
A lot of food, daily necessities and money were sent. This is because both she and the child’s father have salaries and earn quite a bit, otherwise, they would be powerless even if they wanted to.
"Maybe my sister doesn't want you to worry."
Xu Di didn’t know what to say. She and Xu Mei had an average relationship.
Moreover, compared with my older sister, who grew up with them, has a deeper relationship with my parents.
Her parents are also good to her, but this kind of kindness contains an element of compensation.
Besides, as parents, they may pay more attention to the child who is not doing well.
"Who knows, if she was afraid that we would worry, she shouldn't have acted on her own.
Whether it's going to the countryside or getting married, I really don't know how she can be so opinionated. ”
When Xu's mother mentioned these things, she felt unhappy. I can't tell this to my daughter-in-law, because Meili and Xu Mei have an average relationship.
"Second sister, drink some water."
Xu Jun poured a cup of warm water for his second sister. His mother was really something. Why did she keep talking to his second sister about her eldest sister's affairs?
His second sister was pregnant and her brother-in-law was not around, so her life was not easy.
"I'm thirsty. Thank you, Xiaojun."
Xu Di stood up, stretched his body and drank some water.
At this time, the door opened and Brother Xu and his family of three came back.
"Brother, sister-in-law, everything is fine."
Xu Di greeted them and saw that her sister-in-law looked unhappy and her brother was also frowning.
"Xu Di is back, is there any reaction?"
Mrs. Xu must have cried, and there was a sob tone in her voice.
"I don't have any reaction anymore. Now I enjoy everything I eat, even fish."
"What happened to you? Isn't your mother-in-law's leg healed?"
Xu Di was too embarrassed to ask, but Xu's mother asked it out.
The main thing is that the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she can't ignore it.
"My mom's leg is fine now. I had a fight with my sister-in-law and I'm not happy."
Mrs. Xu felt very aggrieved when she thought about what had just happened at her parents' home.
Her mother used to support her so much, but at the critical moment, her son and grandson were still more important.
"Your sister-in-law?"
Xu's mother knew that Meili's sister-in-law was a very powerful person.
“My eldest brother’s second son has just graduated from high school and still hasn’t found a job. The neighborhood committee has come to him twice to try to get him to work in the countryside.
My sister-in-law is reluctant to let her son go to the countryside, fearing that he will suffer and not knowing when he can return to the city.
She started to think about my job, saying that I was pregnant and wanted to give it to my nephew first so that he could have a job first and wouldn't have to go to the countryside.
They offered to return my salary to me and give me my job back after I gave birth to the baby, but I didn’t agree.
I got this job through my own exams, it wasn't found by my family.
Now he says nicely that he will give my job back to me after I give birth to the baby. But what if he goes back on his word and doesn’t give it back to me?
My sister-in-law said that I was selfish and didn’t care about my parents’ home at all, and that I was an ungrateful person.
My mother was also afraid that her grandson would suffer, so she also wanted me to get a job.
I had a quarrel with them and came back. ”
As Mrs. Xu spoke, tears started to flow again.
"Sister-in-law, wipe your tears. A little crying can help you get rid of your sorrow. If you cry too much, your eyes will turn into rabbit eyes."
Xu Di didn't expect that her sister-in-law was quite clear-headed and had not been brainwashed.
With a chuckle, Mrs. Xu was amused.
"I'm so sad, and you're still teasing me."
"Sister-in-law, drink some water and replenish some water."
Xu Jun brought a glass of water to his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law was usually very nice to him as her brother-in-law, looking after the children and giving him pocket money.
"Thank you, Xiaojun, you can take Ping An to play for a while.
Here, you two go buy some popsicles. ”
Mrs. Xu took out two cents and asked her brother-in-law to take Ping An out to play for a while.
Just now at my mother's house, they had an argument and Ping'an was scared to tears.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Ping An."
Xu Jun took the money, hugged his eldest nephew and left. This kid's tears haven't dried yet, he is bound to be bullied at his grandmother's house.
"Meili, your sister-in-law is unreasonable, why doesn't she give up her job?
Saying that the job of a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative is not suitable for boys is just an excuse. If the goods you are selling are not suitable, you can exchange them with others! ”
Brother Xu rarely shows his emotions so openly. He is like his father, very quiet and taciturn.
Xu Di didn't expect that Wang's eldest sister-in-law had her own job. She thought that she was unemployed and that was why she was thinking about her married sister-in-law's job.
"She has her own little plan. My oldest nephew is about to reach the age for blind dating. He broke his leg when he was a child and didn't heal it well, so he has a limp.
My sister-in-law was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find a good partner, so she was just hanging on to her job. ”
Mrs. Xu saw it clearly, but she didn't expect that her mother would still side with her own son and grandson in the end.
I have been the little daughter at home for so many years, but when it comes to interests, everything is different.
"Your sister-in-law is just kidding. She never really intended to give up her job. Even if she gets married in the future and doesn't give him the job, isn't that a problem?
Beautiful and powerful, I'd like to take this opportunity today to make things clear.
I have bought for you all the things you need for your wedding.
After we get married, I don’t want any of your wages except the ten yuan a month for living expenses.
You know yourselves, for a family of three, ten dollars a month is not enough for food and drink.
Meili is pregnant with another baby now, and no one can tell whether there will be a third baby in the future.
Meili, if you give the job to your nephew, your father and I will not give you any extra subsidies.
We have four children and we can't just take care of Dali.
Xiaojun hasn't graduated from elementary school yet. He will have to work and get married in the future, so we can't favor one over the other. ”
Xu's mother explained the situation clearly first. Although Meili did not agree now, it was possible that she would be shaken if her mother-in-law begged her with tears.
Dali is a second-level worker and his salary is just that much. If Meili lost her job, life for their family of four would not be so comfortable.
"Mom, I can't, I..."
“Meili, you have the final say on your work, I’m just giving you my opinion.
Son or nephew, you should decide for yourselves which is more important.
However, it is impossible to expect us to cover for you. ”
Xu's mother made her position clear, saying that she had more than one child.
If Meili wants to please her parents' home, she should be prepared to make her husband and son suffer.
Mother Xu got up and left. She had to prepare something for Xu Di.
Her grandmother-in-law asked Xu Di to send so many seafood products, so she had to reciprocate, which made it difficult for Xu Di to stay in her husband's family.
"Da Li, I won't give up my job."
Mrs. Xu was feeling panic-stricken, and she wanted to reassure herself by saying these words. She knew that her mother-in-law was a person who kept her word and would not give them subsidies if she said so.
Today, her mother also said that her father-in-law has a high salary and the family is well-off, so she asked her to help her parents and nephews.
"Meili, it's not that I don't want you to help your mother's family, but it depends on what the matter is.
That's work. No one knows when the work in the countryside will end.
Our Ping An will grow up, graduate and find a job.
Moreover, after the baby in my belly is born, it will be really difficult for our family of four to live on my salary alone.
You heard what my mother said. She means what she said and she will not take it back. ”
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, but her tears kept flowing.
Xu Di felt depressed, and didn't know why, but he felt unhappy.
"Mom, I'm going home. Grandma asked me to go back early because she was worried.
Remember to cook those foods. Don’t be reluctant to do so. If you leave them for too long, you will forget about them. ”
"Xu Di, wait a minute, take these salted duck eggs back. They were pickled a while ago and are ready to eat."
Knowing that the atmosphere at home was bad, Xu's mother did not keep Xu Di for long.
Xu Di carried the salted duck eggs and went downstairs to go home.
