Chapter 124 No one wants to join the family
"Who said that only women cook, men cannot cook? People also say that men make money, women take care of the family, I still go to the county town to work every day, have I not made money?" Wang Wenling had long been unhappy with her husband doing nothing at home.
"You guys, why did you get me back again?" Wang Shilong said angrily.
"Shilong, it's true. How long have you been idle at home? Look at your elder brother. When you don't have much work in the fields, you go back to the county to do odd jobs. Why don't you learn from your elder brother?" After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Wang Shilong remembered that his second son had been home for so long, and he really didn't really find a job to do it seriously.
"Dad, I'm a person who has been to school for a few years. What's going on to do odd jobs in the county town? You have to find a decent job to do it, otherwise it won't match my identity!" Wang Shilong relied on the ink in his stomach and looked down on the work he had worked hard, and said with a slight lip.
"I haven't seen you go to the county town to look for it. Stay at home every day, and you have to rely on your elder brother and others for food and drink. If I had good hands and feet, I would have gone out to do some errands." Niu Quanyou said seriously. Suddenly, he seemed to understand a lot of things, and at this time he was a little embarrassed about his second son's methods.
"That's right, what's the point of saying, if you are a big man, you don't support your family, what else can you do? Let's find a job tomorrow. If you have our father-in-law and mother watching, you don't want to worry about it." Wang Wenling heard what her father-in-law said, and immediately felt that this father-in-law might not be as bad as the villagers said.
The yard was still discussing who made dinner, and Niu Dashan and his carriage were almost at the door of their homes.
When the carriage arrived, Ding Qiaoyun got out of the carriage first. Aunt Niu and Wang Qingxiang carefully helped Niu Xiaodong get out of the carriage. Niu Dashan was paying the carriage for the driver.
Ding Qiaoyun first stepped into the house. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard Niu Quanyou's remarks. She thought to herself, when will this father-in-law be enlightened? She said this very well.
"Sister-in-law, you are back. Are you busy in the shop today?" Wang Wenling stood up and asked when she heard the movement at the door.
"It's okay, how are you resting at home today? You're exhausted recently." Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"I can't rest at home. My mother is going to the shop today. I'm still serving the whole family to eat and drink at home. I think I'm tired everywhere. I'll just go to the shop to help tomorrow." Wang Wenling felt that cooking at home is no easier than being in the shop, so she simply said.
"Tell you good news. Our embroidered garments are sold quite well. We have to make more in the future. I will prepare to buy some more fabric tomorrow. You have to do more embroidery! Don't worry, if you sell well, I will give you a raise of wages." Ding Qiaoyun has always had rewards and fines. If you sell well, the profit will be good, and it is reasonable to increase wages.
"Really? How much can it rise? How much can it rise?" Wang Wenling felt a little unhappy when she heard her sister-in-law asking her to do more embroidery. When she heard about the increase in wages, she immediately became energetic.
"When I calculate the total account this month, I will calculate the commission for you and I will not treat you badly." Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
Then, Aunt Niu and Niu Xiaodong also entered the yard.
When Niu Dashan entered the yard, he shook the pastries and candied haws in front of the children. As a result, the children all surrounded Niu Dashan and shouted that they wanted to eat.
"Shilong's family, have you cooked dinner?" Aunt Niu asked when she entered the yard.
"It's not yet. I'm starving to death. It's better for you to be at home. At least you don't have to worry about eating." Niu Quanyou continued, thinking that his wife would be nice to him. Although she disliked him, she always hungry herself reluctantly and ate some food on time. Now he doesn't want anything else. It's good to be at home peacefully like this.
"I know I'm done at this time. What have you done? You can eat some braised dishes to make your stomach later!" Aunt Niu thought that you wouldn't have fallen into this place if you thought so long ago.
"My sister-in-law is here too today. What's wrong? Why are you still helping me in? What's wrong?" Wang Wenling asked when she saw that her sister-in-law and her husband came over together, and she was also supporting her. She was afraid that something would happen.
"Good thing, great joy!" Ding Qiaoyun was also happy about her sister-in-law's pregnancy and said with a smile, immediately forgot about her mother-in-law's trouble today.
"That's a happy event! Come in and sit down quickly, don't be tired. When I was pregnant with my eldest son, I vomited in a dark and painful way. People who didn't know even said that I was spoiled. In fact, this is not the case. When I was pregnant with my second son, I stopped vomiting, and each child was the same. Sister-in-law, do you vomit?" When Wang Wenling heard this, she talked about her own affairs back then.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't feel anything. If it weren't for the doctor's words today, I wouldn't know!" Niu Xiaodong felt that everyone was looking at him, and suddenly felt embarrassed. He hurried into the main hall so that one and two people would pull him to ask him.
Aunt Niu took the braised vegetables and pork from Niu Dashan, turned around and went into the kitchen, cut a plate of braised vegetables first, took a piece of corn pancake that he had not finished eating at noon, and sent it to Niu Quanyou. She stayed in the county town for a day today, and knew how busy Ding Qiaoyun was on that day, so she didn't ask her to go into the kitchen to help, but only called Wang Wenling in.
The others sat in the main hall and spoke, waiting for dinner to be ready.
"Madam, are you tired? Do you want to lie on your bed for a while?" Wang Qingxiang learned in the carriage that he was about to become a father. At this moment, he looked a little unbelievable and asked with concern from time to time.
"It's okay, I've been sleeping for a whole afternoon, and my waist is about to be hard. I want to talk to my sister-in-law for a while." Niu Xiaodong replied in a low voice.
"By the way, I don't care about your shop now. Let's talk about it when the child is born!" Wang Qingxiang said directly.
"No, when the child is born, I will have no energy to do this. I have to open the shop first before giving birth!" Niu Xiaodong immediately stood up and raised his voice when he heard this.
Everyone was chatting, but when they heard Niu Xiaodong suddenly yelling, they stopped talking. Looking at her excited, she was a little scared.
"When you get bigger in the future, how can you still have the energy to take care of the shop?" Wang Qingxiang was frightened by his wife's reaction, but immediately shouted loudly, thinking that I was all for your own good, and you didn't appreciate it. In fact, he had worked in the county town and knew how tiring it was to open a shop.
"What, do you want to quarrel with me now? If you don't support me, just let it go, but you will drag me down. When I decided to do it alone, didn't you strongly support me? If there are small ones, you don't care about my ideas!" Niu Xiaodong said a little aggrievedly.
"My wife, I don't mean that, don't be excited first!" Wang Qingxiang didn't expect that his wife misunderstood his meaning and hurriedly explained.
"My sister-in-law, don't be excited, you have something to discuss." Ding Qiaoyun quickly comforted her, pulled Niu Xiaodong and sat down again.
"How to discuss this? I just asked me not to open a shop. I would say that I would wait until the baby is born. I have no status before I have a baby, and there is only a child in my eyes." Niu Xiaodong looked at her husband with red eyes and said aggrievedly.
When Ding Qiaoyun saw her sister-in-law's appearance was about to cry, she thought that this woman in her early stages of pregnancy was really fragile. Sometimes, if she didn't know that sentence, she would hit her tears. She really cried when she said she would cry!
"Don't cry for now. If I weren't worried that your body wouldn't stand it, would I say that?" Wang Qingxiang didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from his wife, so he quickly comforted him.
"Actually, it's really a lot of trouble to open a shop. Don't look simple. If you really open it, you have to worry about many things. My mother also mentioned this to me and asked me to persuade you!" Ding Qiaoyun was a person who had experienced it personally. Her two children were watched by her mother-in-law, and she had the help of her sister-in-law and her husband at that time. She felt that she couldn't be busy. If the sister-in-law opened, there would be only the couple, so she would be busy to death!
"Sister-in-law, don't you even support me? Do you think I can't do this business?" Niu Xiaodong asked.
"No, you have been with me for so long. It should be no problem to open a shop by yourself. The key is that your body does not allow you now, and your belly will get bigger and bigger in the future, and you will be more tired. For your own good, it's better to slow down this matter first!" Ding Qiaoyun said.
"Look, my sister-in-law said this, just listen to everyone!" Wang Qingxiang didn't know how to persuade others, so he had to agree.
"Sister-in-law, am I really not good now?" Niu Xiaodong asked disappointedly.
"As long as you are willing and don't worry about this moment, your health is still important now. When the child is born, you will ask your mother-in-law to help you watch. Wouldn't you be able to open a shop?" Ding Qiaoyun comforted her.
"If you come two months later, maybe my shop will be opened. You are really not the time to come!" Niu Xiaodong glanced at his belly. Although he knew that the child in his belly could not hear anything when he was talking at this time, he still complained.
When Ding Qiaoyun heard this, she knew that her sister-in-law had given up the idea of opening a shop and gave Wang Qingxiang a reassuring look.
This supper was to celebrate Niu Xiaodong's joy, so it was particularly rich. In addition, the ready-made braised dishes I bought in the county town were placed on a full table.
The table used to be small and not enough for a whole family to sit on. This table was made by Niu Dashan later. Now all adults and children can sit in front of the big table, and there is no need to set up a small table.
Niu Quanyou had eaten braised dishes and had a stomachache, so he wasn't too hungry now.
"Can you drink some wine today? Everyone is there?" Niu Quanyou asked with a smile. He hadn't drunk any good drinks since his leg broke. Today, he took advantage of this opportunity to drink it.
"Drink, how can I not drink some wine today? Dashan, go and take out the jar of good wine bought in the county winery." Aunt Niu said happily.
"Okay, I'll get it now." Niu Dashan immediately stood up to get the wine when he heard this.
"Mom, don't worry about Xiao Dong's shop opening. I've advised you all!" Ding Qiaoyun said to her mother-in-law.
"That's right. You must listen to ours. It's the main thing to take care of your baby at home. Qingxiang earns money alone is enough for you to spend. Besides, if it's not enough, I have it here!" Aunt Niu said generously.
"Oh, mom, are you planning to recruit a marriage partner? Have you asked Xiaodong or not?" Ding Qiaoyun asked with a sneer, thinking that her mother-in-law said this even though she knew that most of the money in the family was earned by herself. Could it be that she still had to be responsible for raising her sister-in-law's family?
"Sister-in-law, you just said that, you took it seriously!" Wang Qingxiang said with a smile.
"Our family is only this house, and my family can't live in it. Why don't you talk about getting married? Sister-in-law, don't joke." Wang Wenling said with a heartless smile.
"What, do you think our house is small? If you have the ability, you can build a new house yourself?" Aunt Niu said angrily.
"If I build a new house, I will definitely separate my family with you. It will save it from being inconvenient to live together." Wang Wenling had the intention of splitting up her family. At this time, she didn't hesitate to speak directly when she heard her mother-in-law say this.
"Let's talk about it when you have money to build a house first!" Aunt Niu said in disbelief, thinking that you two can build a new house by themselves, and I don't know that it will be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Don't believe it, it won't take long! People say that the water splashed by the married daughter is so much that you might as well give it to us if you have the money!" Wang Wenling said dissatisfiedly.
"I just can't bear to give it to you, it's useful to save it!" Ding Qiaoyun knew that her mother-in-law had been hiding private money and gave her how much money she had given her every month. She knew very well that the food at home was just ordinary home-cooked meals, and she couldn't spend much money. Where did the excess money go? It's easy to imagine.
"As a mother, I can't give my daughter something! The money you give me is to respect me, so I'll decide who you want to give." Aunt Niu said bluntly.
"Then Zhao Mom said this, are your brothers and sisters also going to be filial to you?" Ding Qiaoyun asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, you run a shop and you have some money. I can't compete with you." Wang Wenling said quickly.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't ask for our mother's money. I have it myself, so don't worry about it. Our mother has no other intentions in saying this." Niu Xiaodong did take the money given by her mother in private, but they were all secretly. He just thought about it and it seemed that she had never seen it by her sister-in-law. Why did the sister-in-law start to doubt it?
"Let's have a good meal. Saying so much nonsense has wasted the delicious food on this table! Dashan, have you found the wine?" Aunt Niu didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she quickly interrupted the road.
"Here, come, you eat first, I'll wash a few wine glasses before coming!" Niu Dashan's voice came from the kitchen. It turned out that he was going to wash the wine glasses.
The children don’t know what the adults said very well. They only know that there was a wedding at home today, so they made such a large table of good dishes. Several children didn’t interrupt and were just lying on their heads to eat delicious food at this time!
Niu Quanyou has been addicted to alcohol for a long time. Now he doesn’t care what they say about getting married or not. He just hopes that the wine can be poured on him as soon as possible so that he can relieve his alcohol addiction.
Soon, Niu Dashan came over with wine and glasses. Except for Niu Xiaodong and the children, a glass of wine was poured in front of everyone.
Although I had some unpleasant chat just now, I finally haven’t forgotten the great joy of today, celebrating Niu Xiaodong’s joy!
After a meal, it was already very late.
"Xiaodong, don't go home today. It's getting dark and I can't see the road clearly. Don't fall anymore. Let Qingxiang go back alone first. You can go back tomorrow after dawn." Aunt Niu looked at it late and said worriedly.
Chapter completed!
