I heard that their family used to be very poor and lived a miserable life. Sigh, they were poor and miserable, so why don't they have the same abilities as others?
He can't even control his wife, he can't manage the household finances, and he can't make any decisions. Not only that, he hasn't been kicked out of the house yet because he smells bad and won't sleep with her.
My son and daughter are right, he's a good-for-nothing.
The old man hung his head, his face drooping, wallowing in self-pity.
Zhao Ruxin shot him a sharp look, which startled him. He looked at her blankly, wondering what he had done wrong.
Zhao Zhaodi watched with extreme envy. Both were skilled at managing their husbands, but her cousin was far more capable. She wondered if she could ask her cousin for advice on how to keep a man firmly in her grasp during dinner.
Actually, Xiaoyu is definitely more knowledgeable about this, but their relationship is too distant now, so how could she ask?
She can't rely on her mother, she can't rely on her mother-in-law, and her child is too young. The only person she can still count on is her husband. She'll try to see if she can salvage the situation. All she asks is that her husband be devoted to her.
People, each with their own thoughts, sat quietly in the main room, the atmosphere tense and tense.
The children looked at the adults, then at each other.
"Mom, can we go out and play?"
"You can only play in the yard. Don't get your clothes wet, and be careful."
Zhao Xiaoyu didn't want to restrict the child, so she whispered some instructions.
Seeing this, the other children also clamored to go out, and Zhao Zhaodi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and candy for each of them and let them go out to eat.
Guo told her children to keep a close eye on Zhao Xiaoyu's children and take good care of them, and also gave them a few candies to put in their pockets.
He slowly moved closer to Zhao Xiaoyu, asking, "Are you settling back in?"
Zhao Xiaoyu chuckled, "How could I not be used to going back to my own home? How are you guys doing living in the county town? I heard Erzhuzi is doing a good job."
"I'm used to it, how could I not be? Life is so much more comfortable without having to farm. The work of managing the household isn't tiring either, all thanks to you and my third uncle and aunt taking care of me."
"It's also because Erzhuzi is capable..."
The three of them talked in hushed tones, while the others watched them in silence. Wang Shi covered her mouth and laughed with a mischievous grin, "Second sister-in-law, look how close your daughter-in-law is to Xiaoyu. If we're talking about who among our daughters-in-law is the most capable and has the sharpest tongue, we can't choose anyone other than Guo Shi."
Guo's face turned bright red. What did her aunt mean? Was she saying she was good at flattery?
“My wife is indeed capable. With her managing the household, I can work with peace of mind. My aunt is right.”
Erzhuzi couldn't stand seeing his wife being criticized. Why should he?
He wouldn't even allow it from his own mother, let alone his aunt.
"My eldest and second cousins-in-law aren't bad either. They seem to manage their households very well, and they're quite eloquent, no less so than my wife. Guo Shi and Xiao Yu are very affectionate; they haven't seen each other in a while, so why are they chatting a bit?"
Li remained silent. Let them make a scene, they might as well have a fight. Anyway, she didn't say anything.
Wang was embarrassed when her younger relative directly confronted her. "Second sister-in-law, your Erzhuzi is quite something now. He used to be such an honest child, but now he's really quick-witted and doesn't give an inch to his elders."
Mrs. Li sighed, "The children are all grown up now and have their own ideas. If we, as elders, say too much, we'll only annoy them."
Erzhuzi was annoyed. What did his mother mean by that? Was she accusing him of being disobedient?
Can you listen to what she says?
Is his family even going to survive?
Just as he was about to speak, Guo shook her head at him. This wasn't home, and with so many people watching, they were just juniors. They could just listen to what he said; it wouldn't hurt them.
Li was even angrier when she saw this. "What a spineless wretch! Let's see if he can ever stand up straight again."
Guo was very capable; she trained the son she raised into an obedient dog.
