Chapter 390 They were wrong in many ways, but they were good to themselves
Lin Wanxia was very tired after a day of shopping. She didn't want to listen to Jiang's mother's scolding. She turned to ask Jiang Sinian beside her, "Do you want to stay at home or go back to the hotel with me?"
Jiang Sinian walked to the inner room, "I'll go call the children."
Lin Wanxia couldn't suppress the corners of her lips.
Jiang's mother's crying became louder.
Jiang's father slammed the table heavily, his voice with obvious anger: "What are you crying for? You are a grandmother, don't you feel ashamed? You can't cook when the fourth daughter-in-law is not at home? So many people can't cook? You can't, I'll do it!"
Jiang's father stood up.
The second sister, the third sister and Jiang's mother were obviously afraid of Jiang's father.
Jiang's mother stopped crying immediately, and the second sister and the third sister went to pull Jiang's father, and one rushed to sit down by the stove to light a fire.

The hotel that Lin Wanxia chose was in the town, only three kilometers away from Qianyu Village, and it only took a few minutes to drive there.
When she booked the hotel, she didn't dislike the poor conditions of the Jiang family, but was mainly worried that Yueyue was used to a warm place, and it would be easy to catch a cold if she suddenly went to a cold place with a large temperature difference.
Moreover, she was not used to sleeping in a big bunk bed, mainly because she was not used to occupying someone else's nest.
The Jiang family slept on a heated kang.
I heard from my fourth sister-in-law that they would give the kang in their room to Lin Wanxia's family, and her family would move to the east room to squeeze in with her parents-in-law.
At that time, Lin Wanxia made up her mind to rent a room in the town, or buy a house if that didn't work.
Jiang Sinian pushed the door open and saw the ingredients for hot pot on the table and the pot that was obviously borrowed from the hotel, and he smiled, "Did you plan this in advance?"
Lin Wanxia nodded, "Will you be angry?"
Jiang Sinian shook his head, "One of the reasons I didn't get married before was that I felt that since I couldn't be a good husband, I shouldn't ruin the girl. It's not a happy thing for her to marry into our family."
"What about now?"
"Now I feel that I was wrong before!"
"What was wrong?" Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows, "Which girl did you regret missing?"
Jiang Sinian smiled, "I was wrong in having a small vision! A truly tough girl would not swallow her anger and be a punching bag!"
"Who are you talking about tough?" Lin Wanxia pretended to be angry.
"Mom! Mom!"
Lin Wanxia lowered her head, and Yueyue pointed at the fish balls, "Mom, balls."
"You know how to eat." Lin Wanxia poked her daughter's forehead lightly.
The ingredients for the hot pot were also brought from Beijing.
Fish balls and crab sticks are not here, but from seafood restaurants.
Seafood restaurants now sell meatballs and the like in addition to dry goods.
They are all genuine ingredients.
Like fish balls, they are very bouncy and delicious, and easy to digest.
After feeding the two children, Lin Wanxia took the two children to wash, and Jiang Sinian was responsible for putting the single beds together into a double bed.
The two children who had been running around in the village for half a day soon fell asleep.
Jiang Sinian asked Lin Wanxia to wash, and he began to clean up the dishes and wash the dirty clothes that the family had changed.
Lin Wanxia thought about it and went with Jiang Sinian.
Jiang Sinian frowned and tried to stop her, "The conditions here are not good. We can only use alkaline noodles to wash these greasy dishes, which will hurt your hands."
Lin Wanxia looked at her soft hands and compromised, "Then I'll go wash the clothes."
Jiang Sinian stopped her again, "This is a hotel, not home. They only give us two pots of hot water. If we use hot water, we won't be able to wash our faces or brush our teeth."
Lin Wanxia thought about it, bent down and put away the dirty clothes, "Then don't wash them! Let someone buy a house in town tomorrow, and then wash them."
Jiang Sinian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you like buying houses so much? Buy houses wherever you go? We'll just come back for a month or so, there's no need."
"Home is where you are. Maybe you'll come back next year. You'd better have your own place to live, right? Anyway, a house will only appreciate in value. Besides, you can lend it to your fourth brother and his wife to live in."
Jiang Sinian washed the dishes, washed up briefly, went to bed, and hugged Lin Wanxia, "You seem to like my fourth sister-in-law very much?"
"I can't say I like her. I don't like people like bread. I just think your family is going too far."
Jiang Sinian didn't refute, "When my eldest brother and his wife got married, I was younger than the sixth and seventh brothers are now. In my memory, my eldest sister-in-law was a very gentle person. And she was also very cultured. Our
family was very poor at that time, and we couldn't afford to go to elementary school. It was my eldest sister-in-law who taught me to read and write."
Lin Wanxia leaned in Jiang Sinian's arms and listened quietly.
"My sister-in-law must be from a good family, or at least she was well-educated. When she first came to our house, she looked like she was glowing. My eldest brother was on a mission at the time, and couldn't come back for a long time.
My mother was very strict with my sister-in-law. She said she looked like a fox, and wouldn't let her go out, saying she was afraid she would do something that would bring bad reputation to the family..."
Not only did she not let my sister-in-law go out, but Jiang's mother also liked to act like a mother-in-law, and she would find ways to set rules for my sister-in-law all day long.
She would beat and scold her if she didn't like what she did. My sister-in -law
endured it all for my eldest brother. My
eldest brother didn't come back until more than two years after he left.
Because he had made many military achievements, he was directly promoted to an officer.
My sister-in-law has changed a lot since she first came.
She is getting thinner and thinner, and there is no light in her eyes.
"Didn't your sister-in-law tell your eldest brother about what happened at home?" Lin Wanxia asked.
"I don't know." Jiang Sinian shook his head, "I guess not. My eldest brother is rarely at home, and my eldest sister-in-law is too considerate. She is afraid that my eldest brother will worry about only reporting good news and not worries."
"I heard from my fourth sister-in-law that your eldest brother and sister-in-law are in the capital, don't you know?"
"I know." Jiang Sinian said, "I'm embarrassed to disturb them. My eldest sister-in-law was so good to me, but I didn't stand up to do anything for her."
Jiang Sinian was young at that time, and the people he had contacted most were the villagers of Qianyu Village.
Qianyu Village happened to be a relatively feudal place, and the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls was serious.
Even though Jiang's father was already a very open-minded head of the family, he still tacitly allowed women to do housework.
At that time, Jiang Sinian sympathized with his sister-in-law, but he only secretly helped her when his mother was scolding her. It was not
until Jiang's mother unexpectedly became pregnant and found out that she was pregnant with twins that the family could not afford to support her, so they had to let Jiang Sinian join the army.
Because soldiers provide food and accommodation, and also have allowances.
Jiang Sinian became a soldier, saw a wider world, met more people, and learned more things, and then gradually realized that Jiang's mother was wrong.
It was the Jiang family that treated his sister-in-law wrongly.
And he is also a member of the Jiang family.
Lin Wanxia nodded, "No wonder, you grew up in such a family, but your values are so positive. No wonder people say that soldiers are foolishly filial, but you stand firmly on my side. It turns out that the previous generation plants trees and the next generation enjoys the shade. When I return to the capital, I will go to visit your sister-in-law."
Jiang Sinian held back and defended Jiang's father: "My father's values are actually not bad, but he is a bit patriarchal."
Lin Wanxia did not deny it.
"If you don't want to go back tomorrow, I can go back to the village by myself." Jiang Sinian didn't want Lin Wanxia to be wronged.
However, you can't give up your parents who gave birth to you. No
matter how many mistakes they make, they are always right.
