In the Su family, Xiu'er touched Han Linlin's sweat in the kitchen. There was spicy tofu burning in the pot, and in the casserole next to it was the pumpkin and white rice porridge she had cooked.
Hee hee, sister will definitely like the food. Yesterday, I saw Chen Yuanyuan eating spicy dishes several times, so I specially made her favorite food. She really wants to have a good relationship with her sister.
Mrs. Cheng was standing by, looking at the busy Xiu'er with a loving look on her face, "Xiu'er is still so well-behaved and cooks for my old lady at home. Thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to have a bite of ready-made hot rice at home." It's not like that The daughter-in-law, who was living a hard life, disappeared early in the morning, got married, and still ran out every day. She was restless.
"My son will be very lucky if he marries you from now on."
Xiu'er wiped the sweat from her face and said, "It doesn't matter. I just like to study food when I have nothing to do at home. Since Ziyou has gone out, it is right for me to help my sister share some housework." Since the two mothers have discussed it , parents' orders, matchmaker's words, help the son to serve his mother, she is also happy.
When Chen Yuanyuan stepped into the house, she saw such a picture of a loving mother and a filial son. Xiu'er was busy in the kitchen, and Mrs. Cheng was telling interesting stories about Su Che's childhood, and she also didn't forget to belittle Chen Yuanyuan.
"If only my wife Ziyou had met you earlier, my old lady would be blessed." Apparently she had forgotten that the original owner also treated her with filial piety, but she thought it was natural until the original owner's daughter passed away and she didn't like to go out in the room anymore. Only then did she realize that there was no one to cook or wash the clothes, or to fetch water or chop firewood, and these things fell on her again.
Ahem, did I come at the wrong time? Chen Yuanyuan suddenly realized that it was really inconvenient to live here by herself. She would find another place to rent someday, and when she earned more money, she would buy a yard.
Mrs. Cheng noticed Chen Yuanyuan and shouted loudly, "What are you doing when you are away from home all day? If it weren't for Xiu'er, I wouldn't even be able to eat a bite of ready-made rice."
Chen Yuanyuan touched her nose and laughed, "Yes, yes, Xiu'er is great, mother-in-law, don't just sit idle all the time, help me a little, you have some work in your eyes."
"When will dinner be served? I brought roasted chicken."
There was a hint of ridicule in that nonchalant look.
Mrs. Cheng is going to be furious. Since the last time she went out, Chen Yuanyuan has become sharp-tongued and has the courage to command her to help.
"You, you, you, I'm going to beat you for being unfilial and dare to instruct me to do things." She held a rolling pin and was about to hit her.
Chen Yuanyuan flashed past her, took out a banknote from her pocket, and handed it to Mrs. Cheng.
"Now, can you pay for today's accommodation and food?" She didn't want to take advantage of the Cheng family, and deliberately drew a clear line with her.
Chen Yuanyuan dusted herself lightly and prepared to go back to her room to rest. She had paid for her meal today. She hoped that her mother-in-law would look at her and stop being rude. "Remember to call me when dinner is ready later."
Mrs. Cheng looked at the banknote in her hand and asked doubtfully, "Did you make money when you went out today?"
Her words were answered by a "bang" of the door closing. Chen Yuanyuan kicked off her shoes and was already lying on the bed.
Mrs. Cheng lowered her face and felt dissatisfied. Did her daughter-in-law go out to show off today? What kind of unfair profession could I earn so much in one day?
Xiu'er stopped Cheng, who was about to get angry, "Don't argue with sister, I've already done this. I don't need help. You should go to the house and rest for a while." Xiu'er coaxed her with nice words.
Cheng half-heartedly returned to the house and put the money into the money box.
There was also a thick pile of money in the wooden box. She usually lived frugally, all for the sake of her husband and sons.
When her husband had no income for a time, Mrs. Cheng could only tighten her belt and refused to borrow money from her parents' family. Then one day, her husband suddenly had an enlightenment. Along the way, she gained fame and became the backbone of the family. She carefully taught her sons, and finally they had rely on.
In recent years, although her family has become a little better off, she still saves unconsciously and wants her daughter-in-law to save. In her view, women should be diligent and frugal for their husbands, and it is natural for men to spend outside.
Mrs. Cheng thought to herself, "I should divorce Ziyou when she comes back. She is disobedient and uneducated." This daughter-in-law had given birth to a daughter before, which made her quite dissatisfied. There was no movement in her stomach for a long time. Later, The girl is gone, and she no longer does any work at home. She cries every day.
Even her son followed her and asked her to be considerate of Chen Yuanyuan. Why?
Which woman has no pain in raising a child? She's just being hypocritical. Her daughter is gone and she still has a husband, not to mention it's just a daughter, not a boy.
She didn't understand why Chen Yuanyuan had to act like he was ready to live or die every day. No matter what, women should carry on the family lineage and take good care of the family. She didn't like people like Chen Yuanyuan who were restless.
