"Haha, this is my second joy. Of course our family has money to eat. That money..."
Wang Hongquan was so happy that he almost told Xiao Hei the good news that his family did not have to pay off the debts of Lao Yang's family. After paying off the debts elsewhere, he could still have 3 taels of pure silver to spend the New Year with the remaining seven taels of silver.
"Dad, why are you telling him that? Can you still have a good meal?"
Wang Shuanzi was really annoyed now.
It’s true that Dad gets carried away when he is proud. Why did he tell Xiao Hei what he was doing?
Don’t you know what kind of virtue this child has?
Even though his family had no money, he could eat and drink without restraint. If he knew that his family had three taels of silver, why would he become a glutton?
Besides, what is the savings of three taels of silver? Tell it and make people laugh out loud!
Wang Hongquan saw Wang Shuanzi's serious look and realized that he seemed to have said a bit too much.
Maybe it's because I drank a little wine. When I feel happy, I want to talk about everything.
"Okay, I won't talk anymore, let's eat."
"Sir, why didn't you say half of what you said? It's so exciting!" Xiao Hei was very dissatisfied and asked vaguely.
"Eat your food. If you don't want to eat, go back to the house and go to sleep!"
Wang Shuanzi looked at Xiao Hei coldly.
Xiao Hei shrank his shoulders, quickly lowered his head and continued to pull the rice, still muttering: "If you don't ask, don't ask, I don't care about it!"
Wang Shuanzi raised his head and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Yang Huamei never came.
"You guys eat first, I'll go see Mei'er."
"What are you looking at? How can such an old man escape in his own home?" Wang Hongquan seized the opportunity and mocked Wang Shuanzi.
"Dad, Mei'er is tired today. Not only does she have to cook for us, but she also has to take care of the one in the big white room. Don't say that to her."
Wang Hongquan took a sip of his wine and sneered, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant with her grandson, and it is her duty as a mother-in-law to help take care of her."
"I think back when she got married, your mother still brought hot meals and dishes to her. I would kill chickens every now and then to replenish her body. I wouldn't even help her when the oil pot fell at her feet. I and I Did your mother even complain about it?"
Wang Shuanzi was immediately speechless.
During the two years when Meier got married, she was really treated like a queen. She was given the best things in the house to eat and she was not allowed to do any work.
She was still making trouble.
No matter how she quarreled with her parents, or how she quarreled with him, they all just tolerated it and let her go.
This really cannot refute what Dad said.
"She has enjoyed all the blessings she deserves. Now that it's time for her to become a mother-in-law, she should also make sacrifices. Isn't that how people come here? You serve her during the confinement period, and in the future she will support you until you die. How good is that?"
Wang Hongquan spread his hands and started talking, but he seemed to be speaking very reasonably.
However, Wang Shuanzi was not completely convinced by him, "Dad, if this is the wife of a famous matchmaker, she will act like a cow or a horse without even a single complaint. It's just that this situation... you know it even if I don't tell you."
"We're almost done..."
"Hey, any white cat or black cat that can catch mice is a good cat. I don't recognize my wife or granddaughter-in-law, I only recognize the baby in my belly! The baby is heaven, and the baby is the lifeblood of our old Wang family!"
Wang Shuanzi didn't want to argue with Wang Hongquan anymore. He knew that he couldn't argue.
After Wang Shuanzi left, Wang Hongquan looked at Xiao Hei who was choking, and thought of his previous words, so he touched Xiao Hei's big head and added:
"Don't worry, Hei'er, you are as important to me as your brother. A bowl of water in our family is equal."
"This is how we treat your brother's wife now. When you get a wife in the future, we will treat her the same way!"
Xiao Hei rolled his eyes, showing no interest in this promise at all.
"What kind of wife do you want to marry? You can't eat or drink, so why not eat and drink?"
"You bastard, you talk nonsense."
"Master, you can give me the money to marry me in advance, and I can buy food and drink on my own." Xiao Hei leaned his head over again, opening and closing his mouth when he spoke, and his mouth was full of rice crumbs, which was in the gaps between his teeth.
Wang Hongquan looked a little uncomfortable.
"Your parents are here, stop talking nonsense."
Sure enough, Wang Shuanzi and Yang Huamei entered the main room together.
Yang Huamei hasn't smiled all day, and it's the same now.
She came to the table and sat down to eat.
Wang Hongquan asked her: "Meier, have you had dinner at Hongmei?"
Yang Huamei picked up a potato stick and bit it inch by inch, ignoring it.
Wang Hongquan did not accept the look Wang Shuanzi gave him, and continued: "Mei'er, you are the mother-in-law and the mistress of this family. You are in charge of the food and drink."
"Hongmei just came to our house. She is pregnant and still sick. You have to take care of her more..."
"You have taken good care of her, which means you have helped Dabai, and you have also taken good care of your grandchildren. You can't eat the seeds of a tiger, don't you think?"
"Dad, stop talking. You already know how to deal with Mei'er."
Seeing that his gaze was ineffective, Wang Shuanzi could only choose to intercept at the exit.
But Wang Hongquan was so drunk that he didn't pay attention to Wang Shuanzi's warning.
He even put down the wine cup and looked at Yang Huamei with a pair of triangular eyes: "Has the dinner been delivered to Hongmei?"
Wang Shuanzi quickly said: "Send it off, send it off."
"Has the medicine given to Hongmei been finished yet?"
"I've endured it too," Wang Shuanzi said eagerly.
Xiao Hei found it interesting and grinned.
Yang Huamei suddenly hit Xiao Hei on the back of the head with chopsticks, "I can't even stop your mouth while eating. You talk a lot. If you have the ability, you can fix it yourself. Don't nag me!"
Xiao Hei rubbed the back of his head and looked confused and aggrieved.
Wang Shuanzi winked at him and told him to go back to the house quickly.
Xiao Hei burped, quickly put down his chopsticks and ran back to his room.
Here, Wang Hongquan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The old man knew better than anyone who Yang Huamei was scolding every word.
"I know you're unhappy, so what's the point? She's a Dabai woman, not a Shuanzi woman, so don't be so petty!"
Wang Hongquan saw Yang Huamei still picking up a bowl to eat after beating Xiao Hei away, and he continued to chatter about life and death.
"The bolt,"
"Here you are, Dad, are you ready to leave? Come on, I'll take you back to the house..."
As soon as Wang Shuanzi stood up, Wang Hongquan pushed him back down.
Wang Hongquan burped from wine and told Wang Shuanzi: "My eldest grandson's wife is pregnant and her bones are weak. I will go to Sun's house tomorrow to buy meat and give her a good supplement."
"Also, just taking medicine for typhoid fever is not enough. You also have to get two pairs of miscarriage medicine from Wang Sheng to take."
"Dad, my family doesn't have that much money..."
"What? Those three taels of silver are not money? Isn't money just for spending? You still want to cover it and let it have babies? You have to spend it!"
