Chapter 124 Chapter 224: There is trouble at home
"Hmph, for such a grown-up person, you have a headache and don't go to work. Do you think that you are the eldest daughter of a capitalist? If you are so desperate, I think you can marry as soon as possible. Not only can you save food for your family, but you can also do more. I want some betrothal gifts to make life easier for your brothers.”
Zhu Juying ran out of the room and looked at Huang Maochun angrily.
"What are you making trouble for? Xiangxiang still has a fever. She has already asked for leave from the team. Why can't she rest? Besides, it was such a good marriage back then, and you had to interfere with Huang. Now you want Xiangxiang to marry again. Man, what kind of peace of mind do you have?”
Huang Maochun threw away the roasted peanuts in his hand, put his son in his arms towards the sewing basket, and started quarreling with Zhu Juying just as he was about his waist.
"What do I have in mind? What I have in mind is good intentions. How could my in-laws be any better last time? I don't see any benefit at all. I won't give this one and that one. The total is only a few dozen dollars in gifts. The three You don’t have anything big, your daughter is so mean, she’s rushing to be someone’s wife, and you don’t want anything.”
Zhu Juying's head was buzzing with anger. The betrothal gift given by Xiangxiang's in-laws was already about ten yuan more than what an average girl would get when she got married. As for the three big items, not to mention that they could not afford them in the countryside, even in the city. If people want to buy such a big item, don’t they have to ask their grandparents to tell them?
They were both from families who could make ends meet by earning work points. Why did she and the old man have the nerve to ask for so many things? Her family, Xiangxiang, was not a fairy. She married her just to live a down-to-earth life.
"We don't care so much. As long as my in-laws treat me well and the young couple can live a down-to-earth life, I don't care about the rest."
"You don't care. You don't care. I care. I can tell you that my cousin's son works in a blacksmith shop in the county. He pays for a month. I have promised to introduce Xiangxiang to him. When the time comes, they will pay eighty A gift of 1 yuan and a Butterfly bicycle are all agreed upon, and they will come as soon as possible. "
When Huang Maochun said this, he didn't notice Zhu Juying's increasingly ugly face. Her mind was filled with the gift money and how she would spend it.
Although her cousin was physically handicapped, she was not destined to have a stable job. If she could marry into the city and the man was so good at making money, she would be able to wake up from her dreams with a smile.
Thinking about Lu Xingchang, she couldn't help but frown. She shouldn't have agreed to marry him when she saw that he was good-looking.
"I can tell you that my Xiangxiang's marriage is only decided by me and her father. You, sister-in-law, don't interfere with me. Make sure your cousin and aunt don't have to come over. Even if they come, I will kick them out. Don't blame me when the time comes. You have no face."
"How dare you!"
"See if I dare!"
Huang Maochun was so angry that he picked up the scissors in the bamboo basket and was about to stab Zhu Juying. The door was opened with a "snap". Xiangxiang, who was too sick to stand, held on to the door frame and pointed at Huang Maochun with shaking hands.
"Huang Maochun, if you dare to touch my mother, I will fight you to the death."
Huang Maochun paused while holding the scissors. Zhu Juying was not afraid of her. She thought it would be best to **** her. Then she could live alone or divorce her son. She really wanted to stay away from this son who frightened her. daughter in law.
The two of them just stared at each other. Xiangxiang held on to the door frame and coughed. She turned her head and glanced at her little nephew who was shaking in fear. She felt infinitely sad. If she hadn't given birth to a child, her second brother would have left. But with this little nephew, all they can do is give in. They can't let the child lose his mother.
The courtyard door was slapped, interrupting the three people who were at war with each other in the courtyard.
Shen Meng was carrying a basket, which was covered with a piece of blue cloth. She reached out and knocked on the door again.
"Aunt Juying is not at home. I am Xiao Meng, aunt?"
Huang Maochun reacted quickly. She pulled out a few handfuls of hair and turned around to open the courtyard door. Looking at Shen Meng who was carrying a basket, her eyes lit up a little, but her face showed grievance. "Sister-in-law is here. Look, there is a commotion at home. Come in, come in. What are you holding? How about I hold it for you?"
Shen Meng handed it to her directly without any politeness, but at the moment of handing it over to her, he put all the good things under the dried vegetables into the space.
"Ouch, what's going on? Why are we arguing? Auntie, hold on to Xiangxiang. She can't stand. Is she sick?"
"What's wrong with you? Don't you dislike the cold weather and don't want to go to work? You're just lazy. Would you like my sister-in-law to come to my room and have a conversation?"
Huang Maochun spoke first when Zhu Juying didn't speak. Without fear of embarrassment, she opened the basket that Shen Meng brought and flipped it up and down. It was just some dried vegetables. Her face turned dark as she thought of inviting Shen Meng to talk. It's all faded a lot.
She also knew that two cars went to Shen Meng's house at noon today. Who couldn't look at the big and small bags of things? She thought she would bring something valuable when she came to the house, but she didn't expect that it was just these worthless dried vegetables. It seems like no one has this thing.
"No, I have something to do with Aunt Juying, this basket."
"Here you go, I'm going back to coax the kids. I'm afraid I won't have time to chat with my sister-in-law because the kids are making trouble."
She pushed the basket into Shen Meng's arms and turned around to go back to the house. Zhu Juying's face turned red when she saw it. Shen Meng was always a guest at home. There were really no rules.
"Xiao Meng, come to the room and talk!"
Shen Meng smiled and put the things in the space back into the basket when he followed Zhu Juying into the house. Lu Xiangxiang was very weak, her cheeks were red, and she was breathing heavily.
"Xiangxiang is seriously ill. Have you taken any medicine?"
"Ahem, no, I thought it would be fine if I just cover it. Sister-in-law, it's okay. Let me check again. If it's still not good at night, let my dad go find Brother Chang Hong."
Shen Meng glanced at the door and poked Zhu Juying with her elbow.
"Auntie, I still have some antipyretics and anti-inflammatories at home. You can ask Uncle Guai to come to my house later and give Xiangxiang some food at night."
When she said this, her voice was louder, and the basket in her hand was handed to Zhu Juying. The latter hesitated and took it, then plucked the dried vegetables on top. Underneath were a bottle of canned food and a box of honey with three knives. And a pound of brown sugar.
"How can this be done? This is too expensive. I can't do it."
"Auntie, take it. Xiangxiang is sick and can't survive without taking medicine. You can make dumplings or steamed buns with these dried vegetables."
Lu Xiangxiang was groggy, but she knew in her heart that most of the time her Sister-in-law Meng had sent her good things again. That was why her mother was so frightened. Thinking about it, ever since she became friends with Sister-in-law Meng, all the things they gave her were real things, and she made them at home. It was just some help when they were inconvenient, which was really insignificant. Their family really took advantage of it.
