Chapter 139 Treating with sincerity
"Hey, it's so late, where did you go?" Ding Qiaoyun asked in confusion.
"I've gone to the old house and haven't come back yet. Maybe I won't come back for dinner!" Niu Dashan said after putting Xiang'er down.
Ding Qiaoyun didn't say anything, and went directly to the west room to see the finished products made by Aunt Wang and the others today, checked for any flaws, and found that the clothes they made were getting better and better. They were happy again, and then they walked out of the west room happily.
"My husband, how is the shop business today?" Ding Qiaoyun asked happily.
"It's okay, there are not many people in the afternoon. Maybe it's too cold!" Niu Dashan said the truth.
"Now we don't have to worry about inventory issues. Just sell the goods well. This solves another big problem. We will definitely make a lot of money during the Chinese New Year!" Ding Qiaoyun said confidently.
"Well, my wife is right. We'll have a big fat New Year this year!" Niu Dashan felt happy when he looked at his wife who was so energetic when talking about his business. He never thought that his wife could be so smart and capable.
"Where is Jun'er?" Ding Qiaoyun didn't see the child after she came out of the west room. She was about to ask him if he was tired and let him go to bed and sleep for a while.
"Maybe I've gone back to the old house and called my mother. I don't care about him for now. Let's make dinner quickly!" Niu Dashan said and walked towards the kitchen.
Ding Qiaoyun and her husband were cooking and talking while they were cooking. They hadn't been to the shop for a day, and she was also very concerned about the business in the shop.
"My wife, today I heard from people in the county town that there may be war in the border area here. I don't know if our business can last long. In the past, this business was impossible. It was only a few years of peace. Alas, the people are going to suffer again!" Niu Dashan said sadly while burning the fire.
Xiye Kingdom, about one hundred miles away from Jinghua County, comes to the border to harass him from time to time. The court is also very troubled about this matter. It often takes a few years to calm down after a war, and then starts to find various reasons to provoke trouble, and repeats over and over again, like a young strongman who can't kill him. The court is now helpless and can only send troops to suppress him. However, the domestic troops are limited. In addition, a war was just fought a few years ago, and the troops were exhausted. Before I could replenish my troops, I don't know if this war can be fought!
"I hope the court has a way. During the war, no one's life will be easy. I haven't heard of it a few days ago. Maybe this war will not be fought!" Ding Qiaoyun comforted her and said justice.
"I hope so. Our good days are just beginning, and I don't want to experience war anymore!" Niu Dashan was a kind and obedient citizen, and he only hoped that the country would be peaceful.
"We are so far away from the border, so we probably can't hit our place. My husband, don't worry!" Ding Qiaoyun thought for a while and said.
The couple spoke one by one and one by one, and the supper was ready soon, but Aunt Niu had not come back yet. At this time, Niu Dashan was a little anxious. After giving his wife a few words, he went to the old house to call someone.
Ding Qiaoyun put the fried vegetables in the pot and heated them, and then went to the inner room to wake Xiang'er up and had a good meal.
Niu Dashan quickly brought Jun'er back, but Aunt Niu still didn't come back.
"Where is Mom, why haven't you come back?" Ding Qiaoyun led Xiang'er out of the inner room and saw Niu Dashan bringing the fried vegetables from the pot to the main room, but she didn't see her mother-in-law.
"Mom is having dinner in that yard today, and I won't come back!" Niu Dashan said.
"Mom is really. The family is divided, why do you have to go to the old house for dinner? Those who don't know think I'm not good to her!" Ding Qiaoyun curled her lips and said, feeling that her mother-in-law did this on purpose.
"You're thinking too much, there's nothing to do. Mom just saw that my father couldn't eat well in the yard, so I bought meat to go to the yard to replenish my father's body today!" Niu Dashan explained quickly.
"We give our father-in-law two taels of silver every month, so why don't we even have money to buy meat? Where did the brother and sister spend all the money? We also asked our mother to pay the money to help her father-in-law?" Ding Qiaoyun said unhappily.
Ding Qiaoyun felt that her brother and sister must have hidden the two taels of money privately. Did her father-in-law say that? It might be that her mother-in-law knew that her brother and sister had hidden this information privately, so she chose to act deaf and dumb. Now she really doesn't know what her mother-in-law is thinking. How disliked her brother and sister, she witnessed it with her own eyes, but her mother-in-law is still a devoted brother and sister. She is really bored with her hot face and her cold butt!
"Mom always feels that she has owed this brother over the years. She said she is helping her father with her body. In fact, she still wants to help the Shilong family. I can understand!" Niu Dashan didn't understand his mother's painstaking efforts.
"You are a bodhisattva, but our family is not a charity? It's not that their family can't eat or drink. We have to give my father two taels of silver every month. No matter how much the money is, it's enough, and I cry poor all day long!" Ding Qiaoyun hates people who cry poor when they have something to do and have nothing to do.
"What is a charity? After all, it's a family. I can't say anything about our mother doing this. My mother has been suffering enough for the rest of her life. Don't bother with her!" Although Niu Dashan didn't understand what a charity was, he also knew that his wife didn't like his mother's approach!
"Forget it, hurry up and have a meal!" Ding Qiaoyun also knew her mother-in-law. She felt that she owed them a family, so she always tried every means to help them. Although she didn't like her mother-in-law's approach, the money was also given to her, and the control was given to her. As long as her mother-in-law was not too much, she would not care too much.
That day, when Aunt Niu came back from the yard before going to bed, she tiptoed into her room alone in order not to wake everyone up.
Early the next morning, before Ding Qiaoyun got up, she heard Wang Wenling chattering outside the door.
"Mom, this sister-in-law knew she would go back to her parents' home before the New Year and get some clothes and money for her parents' home. Although I don't have to go back to her, I also wanted to go back to her home to burn some paper money for my parents!" Wang Wenling said.
"You just cook it, but no one stops you. Let me tell your sister-in-law, don't you go back? There are no other relatives at home, so it's still very easy to burn a piece of paper." Aunt Niu said.
"Then you have to give me some money, otherwise how can I go back?" Wang Wenling said shamelessly.
"You talked a lot, just to ask for money for me. Don't think I don't know that you have hidden a lot of money in private. Besides, now that you are all separated, I have no reason to give you money again!" Aunt Niu said sternly in a low voice.
Aunt Niu suddenly felt that this daughter-in-law was like an unfamiliar bird. She was enough to take care of their family on weekdays. Because of this, she felt sorry for the old people. As a result, Wang Wenling was so arrogant that she really thought she was their money tree!
"What we eat at home is not known, but you don't know, mom, don't you know? Although we are separated, we are given a father who can't do anything. We need someone to take care of all food, drink, defecation, urination, and sleep. We are inseparable from taking care of our own. This is not fair!" Wang Wenling raised her head and said dissatisfiedly.
"Then you think it's unfair. When the family was separated, why didn't you mention it? Now that the family has been separated for so long, you can settle the accounts again. Is your conscience reasonable? Your father has distributed it to you, but everyone gives you two taels of silver a month. Your father can't finish it. You still have the face to come to me for silver!" Aunt Niu looked at her arrogant second daughter-in-law and was so angry that she treated her so sincerely. In the end, she was so indifferent to this attitude. She was really indulging her in disguise. This son is really, and her wife has become a shrew. She doesn't know how to control her. It seems that she is wrong to do this!
Ding Qiaoyun heard the conversation between her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law in the house, and probably knew that her mother-in-law gave her brother-in-law a lot of help in private. She thought I didn’t make a fuss, but you two started to make a fuss first!
Ding Qiaoyun was thinking about letting them have a good fight, but she happened to see a good show. Niu Dashan beside her couldn't hold it anymore and put on her clothes and was about to get up to persuade her to fight.
"My husband, wait a little longer. Now that you go out, you can't persuade them at all, so let them argue. In this way, my mother can truly understand how unsatisfied this brother and sister are. Our mother should wake up. The cost of her retirement is almost over to the second family. We say she, but she doesn't listen!" Ding Qiaoyun pulled her husband's arm and said in a low voice.
"But you can't watch them quarrel, don't care!" Niu Dashan shook his head and said.
"Then I'll go out later!" Ding Qiaoyun stopped him.
"Mom, you are biased in saying this. You can't just talk to the couple just because you are assigned to your elder brother and sister-in-law!" Wang Wenling continued.
"You are far worse than your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is giving me silver flowers, and you stretch out your hand to ask for silver flowers. Can this be the same? I still help you on weekdays. I just secretly help you, but you are not satisfied! Go home quickly and don't argue with me here. When your brother and sister-in-law get up later, I will take it as if it's nothing!" Aunt Niu said and started to chase people.
Niu Dashan and his wife were watching the show in the room and smiled at each other. Ding Qiaoyun thought that this mother-in-law was not a person who didn't understand the truth, and it was worth treating her so sincerely. The more she made trouble for her brother and sister, the more she could see what kind of person her brother and sister were.
"Then can I be the same as my sister-in-law? She runs a shop, I work, can I earn the same amount of money?" Wang Wenling felt angry when she heard her mother-in-law say this. Who knew whether her parents-in-law paid the money when she came to this shop.
"Your sister-in-law opens a shop because of her own ability. If you have the ability, you can open a shop too! I didn't invest in the garment shop at the beginning, so I didn't have the say in the ready-to-wear shop!" Aunt Niu said the truth. She knew that the Shilong family always thought that the ready-to-wear shop should be confiscated, so she was always unwilling to accept it.
"Don't look down on others. Sooner or later, I will make you regret what I said today. I, Wang Wenling, are not a person who is easy to bully!" Wang Wenling snorted coldly, thinking that this mother-in-law is really snobbish, and she will speak to anyone who gives her money.
"It's best if you have this ambition. It's much better than asking for money to reach out. Go home quickly and stop clamoring here." Aunt Niu said while sweeping the ground in the yard.
Wang Wenling didn't get any money, and she was so angry that she returned.
Aunt Niu looked at the back of Wang Wenling who was walking out angrily and shook her head. She had already treated her like this, and she could even ask for money for herself with shamelessness.
If Aunt Niu hadn't been for the sake of her son's face, how could she have paid for their daily expenses from time to time? She wasn't full. Now she has become "Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, but is not a human inside and outside". Let everyone know what she is doing and how can she live together? I'm afraid Ding Qiaoyun is not willing to spend so much money on herself!
Thinking of this, Aunt Niu hurried to the kitchen to make breakfast. Everyone will have to go to the county town later. On this cold day, you have to have a hot meal before going!
"Madam, you see, our mother doesn't understand you at all, right?" Niu Dashan said with a smile while wearing clothes.
"That means that our mother is a sensible person!" Ding Qiaoyun was still very moved from the bottom of her heart about what her mother-in-law said today.
As they spoke, they got up together and prepared to go to the shop in the county town!
"Qiaoyun, get up, come and have dinner. I've prepared all of them. I've left Jun'er and Xiang'er in the pot. It's a cold day to let them sleep for a while, and it's okay to get up!" Aunt Niu said with a smile on her face when she saw her daughter-in-law walking out of the room door.
"Mom, just eat something casually in the morning, there is no need to be so troublesome!" Ding Qiaoyun looked at her mother-in-law who had made so many things early in the morning and said with a smile. She knew that her mother-in-law felt a little guilty about taking things to the old house with her back, so she was like this.
"It's cold, eat more to avoid getting cold on the road. You have to worry about the shop. I feel sorry for you when you are running around like this!" Aunt Niu's rare conscience came out. This is really hurtful if there is comparison. Finally, I know that the eldest daughter-in-law is ready.
"Mom, look at what you said, I'm all for our family!" Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
Ding Qiaoyun thought that since her mother-in-law knew that she was united with her, there was no need for her to hold on to what her mother-in-law had done before, and she was not such a stingy person. If her father-in-law hadn't done that kind of thing, the couple wouldn't have been serving the old man. It was all his fault that he was not successful and did some dirty and obscene things!
"Qiuyun is more sensible. If only half of the second family are sensible, you will be more sensible! Alas..." Aunt Niu sighed deeply and said in an exclaim.
"I can see that my brother and sister want to save money to do business by themselves. She feels frustrated with me!" Ding Qiaoyun said to her mother-in-law.
In fact, Ding Qiaoyun had already seen it, but the monthly salary from herself can no longer meet the needs of her younger siblings. Her younger siblings are also smart and thoughtful people.
Wang Wenling not only embroidered clothes in the shop, but also some old customers who come to the shop will take the initiative to ask them if they are otherwise finished embroidery, which is also a very beautiful craft at home!
