Chapter 95: Don’t let bad habits set the tone
The custom in the village is that men usually stay together and women stay together.
Fan Jin accompanied the elders in the village outside. They were concerned about how the rabbits and piglets were being raised.
Women like to look at the rooms and houses more.
Shuiqing was preparing food for the wedding banquet in the kitchen. When she heard Xinghui say that many women from the village had come, Aunt Li, who worked as a helper, urged her to go and chat with them.
This has always been the case in the village. The host's company represents respect.
As soon as Shuiqing arrived, she heard her sister-in-law say that she disliked her daughter and loved her son, and as if she was afraid that others would not know, she kept saying that sons were better than daughters.
She looked at Sun Jinhua, took a deep breath and said, "Daughters are not worse than sons. The rooms of Jianghehu and Hu are at the gate because they are men and it is convenient for them to travel."
There are five rooms in the courtyard, which are bright and spacious. It is not only convenient for Jianghehu to live here, but if outsiders come, they will be responsible for protecting the whole family.
Yan Qiu and Xinghui are girls. Apart from other things, it is not very convenient to change clothes here.
She gives priority to each child based on their gender. She doesn't favor boys over girls, nor girls over boys. But she is still angry when she hears Sun Jinhua blindly preaching that sons are better than daughters!
Sun Jinhua curled her lips and snorted: "When you were clamoring to split up the family, you insisted on letting Daya and Erya eat at the table. Now that you are building a new house at home, aren't you letting your son live in the big house?
You said that daughters are no worse than sons, but you are just saying it in a nice way! I think Daya and Erya's house may not be as good as when they were in my house."
Shui Qing:.....Is she so arrogant because she is holding a housewarming party today and she will not do anything to her for a good start?
But it doesn't matter, you will make a fool of yourself later.
The short, dark and thin Fan Zhaodi timidly pulled her mother's sleeve and reminded her in a low voice: "Mother, we are here to congratulate."
Sun Jinhua doesn't care. What is she congratulating? It's not her family building a house!
Even if Zhang Tuzi's family built a new house in the village, she would be happier than Hu Shuiqing's family building a house.
She came here today to make fun of Hu Shuiqing and upset her.
She glimpsed the fabric on the bed with her sharp eyes and shouted at the top of her voice: "Oh, the bedding on the bed is still fine cotton. Look, everyone, the cotton is really fine!
The quilt is also very fluffy. I say, sister-in-law, is this a newly fluffed quilt?"
"It's a new house, so a new quilt is normal." Granny Xu said to smooth things over.
Most of the others knew Sun Jinhua's character, and they frowned at the fact that the wedding was not pleasant for others.
Sun Jinhua raised her eyebrows and asked with a squinting look: "Sister-in-law, is there anything in Daya and Erya's room? Are they not going to be used or are they old ones?
Why do I always tell the truth with my mouth!"
Shuiqing felt that Sun Jinhua was only capable of this, but the atmosphere was corrupted by people like her!
Some families don't think it's bad to have daughters, and they love them very much. It's just that people like Sun Jinhua keep repeating in their ears, which is annoying and will also affect them.
Shuiqing will not be affected, but she doesn't want Sun Jinhua to continue to lead a bad atmosphere. She smiled and took the initiative to say to the women and children crowded in the room: "Let's go and see the house that Yan Qiuxing returned to!"
"Okay!" The people in the room responded enthusiastically.
They still think that Shuiqing will not give the son a big house and the daughter a corner as Sun Jinhua said, but it is normal for the daughter to live in a corner than the son.
Not putting them in the same big house is not bad for the daughter.
Sun Jinhua didn't expect Hu Shuiqing to take the initiative to invite her to see it, and followed suspiciously.
Although she followed, she still didn't believe that Hu Shuiqing would let the two girls live in a good house!
The girls will get married when they get old, so what's the point of living in a good house? That would be a waste of the house.
"There are two side rooms next to the main house. Yan Qiu is the eldest sister and lives in the east room, and Xing Hui lives in the west room.
My child's father and I thought that these two rooms are close to us and the toilet, so it is convenient and safe to get up at night." Shui Qing smiled brightly and said as much details as possible.
After speaking, she did not forget to add: "We have all been daughters. How can we not know that we want to be closer to our parents when we are young? And it is more reassuring to be by their side."
Sun Jinhua did not believe that there was a room for three nephews, so she pushed open the door first.
What came into view was a wooden screen, blocking everyone's view.
The families in the village have many people and few houses. The worse ones have one room for one family, and the better ones have one room for boys and one room for girls.
With several people in one room, who would think of blocking the view?
Everyone just felt enlightened.
Then follow Sun Jinhua's footsteps and walk inside. Not only is it more spacious than the house where Jiang Hehu lived in front, but it is also divided into several places considerately.
Outside is a long wooden table, on which are placed not the needlework and thread that girls usually use, but pens, ink, paper and inkstone!
The chairs and wardrobes are all available.
Inside is a big bed, covered with a small green flower quilt that they have never seen before, and the style has never been seen before.
"The flowers on this quilt are so beautiful! They look like real ones. I have never seen such beautiful flowers at my age." Granny Xu's rough and dry hands carefully stroked the quilt fabric and murmured.
Shuiqing: .....Because this is something from China, it is normal that you have never seen it before.
Yes, Shuiqing bought this from the mall. It is beautiful and convenient. She removed the zipper and sewed a few laces to make it easy to remove and wash.
"What kind of fabric is this? Why does it feel more comfortable than the fine cotton just now?" The wife of the Wu family was amazed.
"Oh, the shopkeeper said that the new goods from the capital are a bit expensive. The father of the child was reluctant to buy more, so he only bought it for the two daughters;
As for the three boys, they are thick-skinned, so fine cotton is enough. For a daughter's family, it should be more delicate." Shuiqing looked at Sun Jinhua and said something meaningful.
Sun Jinhua stuck her neck out and pretended not to hear.
She pretended not to hear, but the women who followed her would not allow her not to hear. They reminded her: "Jinhua, did you see that? The girl's room is not only big but also exquisite."
"Strange, you are willing to buy new goods from the capital, I wonder who would say you are not good to your daughter!"
"Jinhua, you should also learn from your sisters-in-law and treat Zhaodi better!"
Sun Jinhua glared and was about to argue, but Shui Qing said leisurely: "We are mothers now, of course we should give our daughters better, so that they don't have to suffer the hardships we suffered when we were young, and we should make up for what we lacked when we were young, right?"
All the women present were stunned when they heard this.
Even Sun Jinhua, who was about to get angry, was stunned.
