"Don't pay attention to them. Just stay home and relax."
My daughter is older now, and there is someone to help share some of the housework.
"How is your son-in-law treating you?"
Zhao Zhaodi lowered her head shyly, holding her clinging younger sister in her arms. "He's very kind to me. My mother-in-law and the others are fine with me except for wanting to curry favor with my third uncle. I don't do much work around the house."
Mrs. Yu curled her lips. Her daughter was still young after all, and she didn't know how fickle people's hearts were.
"It's up to you to take care of your dowry. The most important thing is to get pregnant as soon as possible." He frowned. How could she get pregnant when her daughter was at home?
"I know. Mom, why is Dazhuzi holding a wedding so soon?"
She received the news that her eldest brother would be born in six days, a few days earlier than Xiaoyu.
"Don't mention it. I'm avoiding Xiaoyu's marriage because I'm afraid that someone will compare her with ours. Who can compare?"
It’s not that they are poor or shabby, but that the other party is too strong.
"You're right. Okay, I'll stay at home and do some chores these few days. Xiaoyu's parents need help, so shouldn't Dazhuzi help even more?" She felt a little resentful and didn't want to go to her in-laws' house now.
"It's best if you can think this way. Once Dazhuzi's family settles down, maybe he'll grow up."
Zhao Zhaodi didn't think so. She had seen clearly in the past few years that her eldest brother was different from others. He only cared about himself and didn't know how he treated his wife and children. He would definitely not be filial to his parents.
Don't expect the best!
"Mom, my eldest brother..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. How are you preparing for his wedding? How many tables will it take? How much will it cost? Have you made any new clothes yet?"
She didn't want to discourage her mother, but sometimes she felt sad. If she hadn't let Sanzhuzi continue to study, but her parents were already obsessed with it, they didn't want him to continue and even planned to send him to the county town to study.
She couldn't persuade him, and she couldn't persuade him.
"You know the situation at home," Madam Wu sighed deeply. "The girl's family said they wanted a sedan chair to pick her up, and something respectable. But they didn't consider how much money it would cost to make things respectable."
"What did my eldest brother say?"
"Your son is quite sensible this time. He said that everything should be kept simple. There's no need to be extravagant or try to show off."
Zhao Zhaodi was surprised. Was she still the one who wanted to compete with her younger brother in everything and try to outdo him in everything?
There's something wrong with the big pillar!
"What are you going to do?"
"My son always says to keep things simple, so I'll listen to him. We won't make your eldest brother's wedding dress. We can just rent one in the county town. He'll only wear it for one day anyway."
I'll make a new set of clothes and wear them when I get home in three days. A sedan chair is out of the question, but I've already discussed the oxcart. As for the banquet, it'll be just like any other banquet in the village: one big meat dish and the rest all vegetarian.
Zhao Zhaodi hesitated. "But mother, that's how the village used to do it, but in recent years, everyone has gotten better off, and banquets don't just include big meat anymore."
Other villages were indeed still the same; when her parents were young, there wasn't even any big meat. But Old Sow Village had changed a lot, and the banquets had already been upgraded to two meat dishes.
"They are theirs, and we are us. Zhaodi, you should know that Sanzhuzi will have too many places to spend money in the future, and it will be difficult for his parents!"
"Mom, do I have to read this book?" I couldn't help but blurt out the words I had been holding back for a long time. "Do you really think Sanzhuzi can study and have a bright future?"
