The Dragon Boat Festival is still two days away, which means Zhao Dawen and his family will have to stay at home for two days to eat and drink.
At night, Wang did not get up to help Li, choosing to play deaf and dumb and eat the ready-made food.
In the past, we had a maid at home, and every meal was ready-made, so we didn’t feel that ready-made meals were so rare. Now that her mother-in-law has run away and the family is in poverty, she misses the days when she was not around very much.
In the county town, she had to cook, wash clothes, fetch water, do housework every day, and she hadn't had a ready-made meal for a long time.
My second brother and his wife will just have to endure it for a day or two, since they won’t be staying here for long anyway.
Li wanted to lose her temper and throw the evening dishwashing job to Wang, but her mother-in-law spoke before she could.
"Old family, you happen to be in the village these two days, go water the fields and weed tomorrow."
Wang pointed at her nose in disbelief, "I'm alone?"
"Well, why don't you ask Ruxin to come along. The land is yours, and you can't just rely on me and your father to do the work, right? We are old after all."
She couldn't argue with that, "Mom, I'm afraid I can't finish the work on a few acres of land by myself."
"If you can't finish it in one day, take two days. Take Ruxin with you. At worst, you can just return to the city two days later."
Anyway, the eldest son and grandson cannot go out to the fields because they are scholars. She almost lost her life last year, and she still gets palpitations when she thinks about it now.
Zhao Dawen felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a bowl of cold boiled water.
You bitch, you dare to hit me? Isn't it that you have too much strength and nowhere to use it? Okay, then I’ll stay at home and farm.
Good job, mom!
His mother finally vented her anger for days. He glanced at Wang, whose face had turned purple with anger, and felt better.
Zhao Ruxin lost her mood to eat. She didn't want to work at all. I can't even do housework, let alone go to the fields.
After working in the fields for two days, she is going to turn into a black village girl again. She has to take care of herself during this period.
"Mom, Ruxin is seeing a doctor recently, and she can't go out."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole house fell silent. Especially Zhao Pandi, she wanted to grab her collar and ask her which wealthy family she was betrothed to. Is there anyone who can introduce him to her?
"Which family are you looking for? Is Ruxin ready to settle down?" Old man Zhao was very curious. How could he not know what the eldest couple was planning? Ruxin would never marry an ordinary person.
Zhao Ruxin was very embarrassed. Could she say that she wanted to meet someone but the other person didn't want her?
"Ahem..." Zhao Dawen was too embarrassed to say that no one wanted his daughter. Anyone with a decent personality in the county was unwilling to marry him, including his colleagues.
"Dad, she's just old enough to make this plan. As for which family she will be with, that's not clear yet."
Wang and Zhao Ruxin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the matter was resolved.
Li lowered her eyes. She didn't believe a word her elder brother said. They definitely wouldn't want to tell her. By the time they knew, they would probably have to wait until Ruxin was settled.
Alas, her daughter hasn’t found a husband yet, so how can she find a family that she’d like for her daughter?
"We must find a good marriage for Ruxin. Since she wants to see a date, don't go out to the fields." Old Man Zhao glanced at Zhao Dayong beside him and said, "Second Brother, isn't it time for Pan Di to see a date too?"
"Yes, father, but we don't know many people, and we don't know how to find a suitable husband for her."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Dawen with obvious meaning.
Zhao Dawen pretended not to see it, he could not follow up with the story, but the two thefts in his home became a hot topic in the county. The thief was not found, but his reputation was ruined. He doesn’t even know what to do with his own daughter, so he doesn’t care about his niece.
At dinner, it was Zhao Dayong's family's turn to eat absent-mindedly. 8 Zhao Pandi was anxious. If her elder cousin could marry into a good family, why couldn’t she? They are all granddaughters of the Zhao family.
At night, Li accidentally broke a bowl while washing dishes, and old Sun scolded her all over the yard, calling her a spendthrift.
"Mom, isn't it just a bowl? I'll go buy a few tomorrow. I won't ask you to pay for it. Stop scolding me."
You should love your own wife. Zhao Dayong felt uncomfortable when his mother scolded Li like that.
"Oh, my God, I can't say a word to my daughter-in-law."
"Shut up, how can we not quarrel on a big holiday?"
Old Mrs. Sun immediately shut up. Zhao Dayong sighed and said that only his father could cure his mother.
