My mother loves excitement and especially enjoys seeing people arguing and fighting!
If you want to be filial to your mother, then have a good fight with her.
Fight, fight!
Hearing the woman's voice outside, Zhao Dawen felt quite regretful. His second and third sister-in-laws had really come at the wrong time, and so had the children. Why did they come so early?
What are you doing here?
As soon as Wang entered the room, she sensed that something was wrong.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. My second and third brothers are discussing something. By the way, old woman, my second brother said that his wife will bring the money over tomorrow."
Huh? He really didn't give you the money, or did he secretly hide it?
Upon entering the room, Li was taken aback, then her face contorted with heartache as she remembered the money.
To take so much silver, almost all of the family's savings, just to make himself more comfortable, just to live more comfortably, is too wasteful.
The old man and his eldest son simply wouldn't listen to reason. She would try to persuade them again tomorrow, but she really couldn't afford to give them any money.
"Second sister-in-law, congratulations! You're going to have a new house to live in. We all know how comfortable it is for Mom here. You're so lucky."
Although their house was also made of blue bricks and tiles, they didn't build a heated room when it was built. In winter, the old man could only sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) to copy books, and she could only hide on the kang as well.
She regretted it; if she could do it again, she would definitely install a greenhouse.
They originally planned to install a greenhouse, but the foreman didn't have time when they were building the house, and there were only a couple of craftsmen in the county who knew how to do it, so they didn't install one.
She wanted to save money, thinking it didn't really matter whether she had it or not, since there was still a kang (heated brick bed).
If you don't want to pretend, then don't pretend.
Li's smile was unsightly. Let whoever wants to enjoy this blessing enjoy it; she certainly didn't want to, she wasn't fortunate enough to have it.
Seeing his wife remain silent, Zhao Dayong became unhappy. What did he mean? Did she become mute when money was mentioned?
I never thought my wife was so stingy before, but why is it getting harder and harder to get money out of her as she gets older?
Besides, is he the only one enjoying the good life? Doesn't she feel comfortable herself?
Look how comfortable his mother's room is, then think of his own home, so cold and gloomy. The house is so old, it needs repairs every year for the past few years. He had wanted to tear it down and build a new one before, but his wife just wouldn't agree.
They said they weren't in a hurry because their sons weren't married yet, and that they could repair and live there for decades more. Even if it was demolished, the mud house would get old in a few years and would need repairs anyway.
Their father put a lot of effort into building it back then; the new one might not even be as good as the old one.
As a result, things were delayed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wang knew that she was worried about the money. "Second sister-in-law, should you send the money tomorrow or should I go to your house to get it? Either way is fine."
If you didn't want to buy, you should have said so earlier. Countless people want my house.
There's even a well in the courtyard; forty-odd taels of silver is incredibly cheap.
If she hadn't wanted to avoid living in her mother-in-law's old house, a house where someone had died, she would have bought it back then.
"I'll deliver it tomorrow," Li said with difficulty.
"Alright then, I'll sit at home and wait for my second brother's wife tomorrow. Don't forget about my third brother's wife too!"
Li pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zhao Dayong was satisfied. As long as his wife was willing to give him money tomorrow, he could save face.
Everyone fell silent. No matter what, today was the seventh day after the mother-in-law's death, so they all squatted down to burn paper money.
Wang, Li, and Song were squatting together burning paper money. Li kept muttering to herself, asking her mother-in-law to bless their descendants. She went on and on, never stopping. She even asked her mother-in-law to give Dazhu a son.
How can a seedling grow if it can't be planted?
Wang was speechless and didn't say anything. Didn't she see that her third sister-in-law was also silent?
The younger generation knelt behind, each with their own thoughts. They remained silent, some glancing at the large pillar intentionally or unintentionally.
