Chapter 102 Discussion
After work, Wang Yuanchao received the news and went directly to Widow Du's house with Zhang Yuanyuan.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Widow Du sitting on the porch on the steps of the yard with a serious face, and a group of people standing and sitting beside her.
After seeing these people, Zhang Yuanyuan was very happy and shouted loudly:
"Mother, grandfather, grandpa, uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, old aunt,
Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, aunt, why are you all here today? Wow, Yuanyuan missed you so much. "
Wang Yuanchao smiled dotingly, looked at Zhang Yuanyuan, and followed her.
The elders at home all smiled happily when they saw the innocent and lovely Zhang Yuanyuan.
Widow Du stood up and patted Zhang Yuanyuan on the shoulder, saying, "Silly girl, there are so many elders at home, why are you still making a fuss? Come to the aid of Korea. Let me introduce you. This is Yuanyuan's grandfather, and this is Yuanyuan's grandpa..."
After Wang Yuanchao got to know Zhang Yuanyuan's relative Du, he asked Zhang Yuanyuan to find a stool for Wang Yuanchao, and after they sat down, they began to discuss things.
"That's the thing. It's not hard to guess what these little girls in the village are thinking.
For all girls, getting married is as important as a second life. Since the Koreans are so outstanding, naturally many people want to snatch them away.
The problem now is that we know about it, but with so many people using tricks, it’s hard to defend against them.”
Zhang Yuanyuan's grandfather said angrily:
"Our Zhang family is not extinct yet. I want to see who dares to do this. Do you really think that the men of my Zhang family can't lift a knife?"
"It's clear that they won't do this openly. If they really let them find a chance to ruin Yuanyuan's reputation, it will be useless for us to regret it then."
"That's right. Anyway, there are only three days left until the wedding. How about letting Yuanyuan take a few days off and stay at home for these three days without going anywhere?"
"This method is fine. As long as Yuanyuan doesn't reveal any flaws and doesn't give anyone a chance, then when the wedding is over, nothing will happen."
Listening to the discussion of these relatives, which was mainly about how to guard against shady tactics, Widow Du suddenly asked by name:
"Yuan Chao, what do you think about letting Yuan Yuan take a few days off and hide away?"
Wang Yuanchao naturally would not directly deny everyone's opinions to highlight his own cleverness, but said: "I think it's good to take a leave and stay at home to avoid the limelight. Besides, the family tradition of our Wang family has always been that men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. In our Wang family, men are responsible for making money outside to support the family, and our Wang family's daughter-in-law only needs to take care of the family.
So even if this incident hadn't happened, I wanted to have a good talk with my mother and Yuanyuan, asking Yuanyuan to quit her job at the farm, stay at home and enjoy her life, and take care of the family. At the same time, everyone knows that my parents died on the battlefield, and I am the only one left in the Wang family.
I have basically been around my parents' comrades-in-arms. They have looked after me and raised me. As for Yuanyuan's family, there are only my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan left. Once we get married, Yuanyuan and I will definitely live with my mother-in-law.
After all, there is an old person around who can take care of the children for me and Yuanyuan in the future, and we also have the obligation to provide for my mother-in-law in her old age, so I plan to discuss it with my mother and Yuanyuan. After we get married, I will let Hu Zhengwu build two more rooms in my yard.
When the time comes, I will bring my mother-in-law over to live with us.
I also plan to let Yuanyuan quit her job and stay at home with my mother-in-law to take care of our little family.
Mother, Yuanyuan, what do you think? "
In this era, people go to work just to have enough food to eat. Women are really treated like men and men are treated like animals. Children have to work to help the family earn money to support the family from a young age.
When everyone suddenly heard that Du Guafu and Zhang Yuanyuan were to stay at home and not go out to work, and that Wang Yuanchao was the only one to support the family, they all looked at Wang Yuanchao in surprise, finding it unbelievable.
"Yuan Chao, this won't work. Women have to go out and work to earn money. By then, your family of three will have nothing to eat after you finish your savings."
Wang Yuanchao knew it was difficult to change everyone's perception, but he still explained:
"Grandpa, grandpa, all the elders, please rest assured.
Let my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan take care of the family and stay at home to enjoy the good life.
I will definitely do it. After all, the family tradition of our Wang family cannot be lost. What everyone is worried about is whether I can support this family.
Please rest assured about this. First of all, since I came to our Red Flag Brigade, I have been paid full centimeters for work every day.
Moreover, I am now in charge of the poultry breeding base, and I get a full centimeter every day, so my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan will not be short of food when they follow me.
I can hunt and fish, so there will be no shortage of meat at home. I will take good care of my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan, and they will not be hungry. In my yard, there are more than two acres of vegetable fields, and I can grow vegetables all year round without spending any extra money.
After my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan move in with me, I plan to raise a pig, two laying hens, and three laying ducks in the yard. If the food is still not enough, I can just buy some more food from the team.
You should know that I now receive 15 yuan of subsidy for martyr's orphans every month, and I have saved it until now. I have a lot of money in my hands, which is more than enough to support my mother-in-law and Yuanyuan.
Mom, Yuanyuan, what do you think? "
Widow Du was so surprised by Wang Yuanchao's sudden surprise that she burst into tears as if pie had fallen from the sky. "Wow, thank you Yuanchao. Thank you so much. I only have Yuanyuan as my child and I don't want to be separated from her.
If mom can live with you, she will definitely help you take good care of the family."
Widow Du lived through the old society. After she got married, she never went out to work and earn money. She was supported by her husband. It can be said that Widow Du still holds the traditional concept of obeying the father at home, obeying the husband after marriage, and obeying the son after the husband's death. It is natural for the man to go out to earn money and support the family. Widow Du has no sons, only one daughter, Zhang Yuanyuan. Originally, Widow Du planned to live alone in the future.
She never expected that a pie would fall from the sky. Wang Yuanchao wanted to take her in to live with them and take care of her in her old age. Widow Du even gave up her reserve and decisively took the olive branch. Zhang Yuanyuan saw that her mother, who raised her, was so happy, so naturally she would not reject her man's idea.
The elders of the other two families saw that Wang Yuanchao was so determined, so they could only let them do as they pleased. After all, no matter how close they were to each other, they had to live their own lives.
