Chapter 51 Give the Sugar Painting to My Grandson
"Mom, I asked a few boys from the Li family yesterday to come and take a look when they are free, and feed the chickens." Fan Jin frowned slightly, not wanting to make a scene, so he explained first.
Xinghui followed up, "Yes, grandma, didn't you see the mixed chicken feed next to the chicken coop? Someone is feeding and watching, why didn't you take care of it?"
Fan's mother looked embarrassed. She heard in the morning that her second son's family had all gone out, so she ran to check immediately.
As a result, the wooden door of the thatched house was locked, and no one was really at home, so why did they need to go to the chicken coop to watch the chickens.
As a grandma, she certainly couldn't be suppressed by the younger generation, and criticized: "You are also confused. How can outsiders do things as hard as our family members?
You can leave your belongings to outsiders when you go out. You have grown old in vain."
Shuiqing heard the lecture and immediately took her two daughters away.
Before, there was no division of the family, and everyone lived together. The quarrels were for their own benefits.
Now the family is divided, and her mother-in-law doesn't live with her anymore. She will be bored and have to go back after a while. She thinks quarreling is a waste of saliva.
Fan Jin heard the meaning of his mother's words. She was criticizing the chicken coop for being handed over to the boys of the Li family, but in fact she was talking about the chicken head rice.
He pretended not to understand the deeper meaning and said seriously: "Mom is right. Next time we go out, I will tell mom to help feed the chickens."
Fan's mother's face changed. Expect her to feed the chickens for them?
She is not a servant of his family. Why should she feed the chickens for them!
Fan Jin saw that his mother's face was ugly and she was about to get angry, so he immediately said: "Mom came here to tell me to pay attention to these. This is to care about us;
Don't worry, mom, I will not be polite if I need your help in the future. I will definitely tell you."
Fan's mother held her breath. It's not right to get angry, but it's also too suffocating if she doesn't get angry.
Glancing at the fruit tree seedlings on the oxcart, she opened her mouth to blame: "What trees are there on the mountain? You're wasting money to buy them at the market. You have some money but you don't know how to spend it!"
No one paid attention. Everyone was doing their own thing. The scene fell into silence for a while.
Fan's mother was even more angry and decided to vent this disgusting thing no matter what!
She looked at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter who were far away, and suddenly found that the two granddaughters were holding up sugar paintings in their hands, right?
"Oh, hey, you are really a spendthrift. It's okay to raise a little girl with a stutter. Anyway, she will marry someone else when she is old enough.
You also bought sugar paintings, and bought one for each person! Besides, their brothers haven't eaten sugar yet, but these two little girls have eaten it first. Isn't this a waste of money?"
When Fan Jin talked about himself before, he could still tolerate it without anger or annoyance. After all, this is his biological mother who gave birth to him and raised him.
But he couldn't bear it when it came to his daughter. His mother gave birth to him and raised him, but she didn't give birth to his daughter, let alone raise her. Besides, the money for the sugar painting was paid by his brother-in-law.
He said in a cold tone: "This is what Uncle Yan Qiu and Xing Hui bought for them to eat. Each of the five children has one."
When Fan's mother heard that it was bought by the Hu family, she curled her lips. Isn't it just a sugar painting? Is it worth her son to mention it specifically?
In the past, they had eaten and drank well in her house for so many years, but it seemed like they had eaten for nothing, and they didn't remember the kindness of her grandma at all.
"The three good grandchildren ate it, but the eldest and second daughters didn't! Their brother hasn't eaten it yet. Come, take it back to grandma and make your brother happy too."
Fan's mother had already imagined the scene of her taking the sugar painting back.
The four grandchildren were circling around her, and they would definitely say that grandma was the best and treated them the best.
Hearing that grandma was going to snatch their sugar paintings, Yan Qiu and Xing Hui quickly put the sugar paintings behind them.
Jiang Hehu didn't expect grandma to snatch their sister's food. After reacting, they all stood in front of the two sisters.
Shui Qing narrowed her eyes, she was refreshed.
Fan Jin rarely refused clearly: "No, since we have separated, we are two families. My eldest brother's family is my eldest brother's family, and my family is mine;
If the nephews don't have food, they can buy it themselves or ask my eldest sister-in-law's family to buy it, but they can't use my daughters' food to feed them."
Fan's mother never thought that her second son, who had always been gentle and elegant, would say something to offend her. Her old face turned liver-colored, and her fingers trembled as she pointed at Fan Jin, "You you..."
Fan Jin's eyes were sharp, and he said word by word: "Last time, the old village chief dealt with the matter of my eldest sister-in-law pushing Xinghui back. I have no objection, but mother should understand that I hate it in my heart!
If mother harms my children for my eldest brother's family again, then I can only write a letter of severance and send it to them."
The two daughters in Shui Qing's arms trembled slightly.
Dad never mentioned this matter. The punishment given by the old village chief was fair and just. They always thought that Dad didn't care.
Unexpectedly, Dad just endured it and didn't say it.
Fan's mother's eyes widened, and she was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Then she said viciously: "You, your mother is not dead yet! You want to break off the relationship? Aren't you afraid that your mother will go to the government office to sue you for being unfilial and unfraternal!"
"I'm not afraid. I thought that after dividing the land and moving out of the old house, we could get peace. First, my sister-in-law pushed Xinghui down the mountain, and today my mother came to ask for food from my children;
If we still live like this in the future, even if your mother goes to the government office to sue me, I will break off the relationship." Fan Jin said bluntly, and his elegant and gentle white face was now filled with a chill.
Fan's mother took a step back, as if she had just realized that her second son had grown up and was no longer the child she could manipulate.
She was a little annoyed, but more panicked, crying and wailing: "You took my mother's words seriously? I raised you with my life, and I love you so much, how could I bear to go to the government to sue you;
You are so heartless, you forgot your mother after you got married, I am heartbroken, your words are like cutting my heart with a knife."
Fan Jin sighed helplessly.
Shui Qing thought to herself that fortunately this was Fan Jin's mother, not her biological mother, otherwise it would be very tiring to deal with such a fierce and difficult mother.
Then she thought that it seemed that having such a mother-in-law was not much better than having a biological mother...
Fan's mother wailed for a long time, and seeing that her second son was unmoved, she knew that this trick was useless.
She put away her tears, and said with a miserable face for them: "Mom will feed the chickens for you. If the chickens are well raised, my son and grandson can also eat more eggs to replenish their bodies."
Shui Qing:...What you said, so the eggs laid by my chickens are all due to my mother-in-law feeding them?
Seeing that Fan's mother had calmed down, Fan Jin came over and looked at Shuiqing and the two daughters apologetically: "My mother can't change, don't take it to heart, we will live a good life as a family in the future."
Shuiqing didn't take it to heart.
Most women who are angry with their mother-in-law and take it to heart are because their husbands do nothing and only help their mother-in-law to suppress their own daughter-in-law and tolerate;
If it is the way Fan Jin handles it, what is there to be angry about? He is doing his best to protect her.
Yan Qiuxing was about to tell them that she didn't take it to heart, but heard Fan's mother's scream from the chicken coop.
The seven people were shocked.
After looking at each other for a few times, Fan Jiang asked first: "Is grandma in trouble?"
