"Second brother, what are you doing? And you guys, you are all the eldest men in the family, how can you do the work that these women do?"
Zhang and Li Shidu No longer caring about the purpose of his visit, he rushed forward and snatched the broom from Father Li's hand, as if he hated iron.
Seeing Mother Li coming out, her eyes became even more hostile.
It was okay to beat her daughter yesterday, but today she asked her second brother and several nephews to do these jobs. If she said it, she would be laughed at to death?
The three Li Daniu brothers didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, people in the village are doing this now, and they are young people and are more accepting.
It felt a bit shameful for Li's father to be seen doing these things by his sister. He had not agreed before, but the Lu family took the lead, and other men in the village also did the same. , even though he was dissatisfied, he still did it.
Especially now that all the men in the village are like this, no one should laugh at anyone, so I feel more at ease.
But now that his sister saw him, his face instantly became a little unbearable.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Father Li stood up straight, but didn't know where to put his hands. The atmosphere was very awkward for a while. .
Mrs. Zhang Li just stared at her brother, wanting him to give her an explanation, and didn't want to talk to Mother Li at all.
Although Mother Li didn’t know what the eldest aunt wanted to do when she came here, she still glanced at her eldest son. Li Daniu reacted quickly and said proactively: "Auntie really misunderstood. Our family is so busy. I have just rested today, and if I don’t prepare, I won’t have time to celebrate the New Year, so the whole family will do it together. Everyone in the village is like this, so it’s okay.”
Originally Li Daniu was kind-hearted to explain to his father, but these words made Zhang Li’s It seems that she is showing off her family's relationship with the Lu family, and most importantly, protecting her ruthless younger siblings.
I heard Zhang Cuiya say last night that her good sibling wanted to break off the relationship with her family last night. If her brother hadn't stopped her, she would have made many jokes.
She felt ridiculous when she thought about it. That was her biological brother, with the same blood flowing through him. How could the relationship be ruined just because a woman was sowing discord?
"What do you mean that everyone in the village is like this? These things are obviously women's work, how can you let men do it? How shameless are you to say this? I said you are really a big cow, how can you say this? It’s been a while since I met and I have lost all my masculinity, and I don’t know who I learned it from!”
This refers to Sang scolding Huai, but it is actually Li’s mother who stood beside her without saying a word. Like I didn't hear it at allThe same thing she said.
Father Li glanced at his wife and felt more and more embarrassed. Although he had accepted doing these things now, he was still a little uncomfortable being scolded by his sister like this. He was about to say something. The eldest grandson who was clearing the snow said: "Auntie, you are wrong to say that."
He was not big, but his tone was very firm.
“These tasks at home are quite tiring, and they should be done by men. Grandma, mother, and aunt are women, and they are not as strong as my father. If it were entirely up to them, Not only is it slow, but it’s also harmful to the body. But it’s different if we all do it. Not only can we get things done quickly, but it can also make our relationship more harmonious.”
He heard this from Lu before The grandma of the Lu family said this. When grandma of the Lu family didn't go to Fucheng before, she liked to go out and chat. At that time, he happened to be nearby and heard her.
Grandma Lu’s family said that as a man, you must be able to stand upright outside and care about your daughter-in-law inside. Husband and wife help each other, so that a family can be happy and complete.
The good life of the Lu family was lived in such an atmosphere. At that time, everyone listening around thought it made sense, and he also thought it made sense, so he told his grandma about it when he came back. Grandma also thought it made sense, so she educated his father and two uncles in this way. For such a long time, he never felt that there was anything wrong, but he did not expect that his great-aunt would make trouble at his house today because of this matter.
"Hey, what do you know, you little kid? How can a child interrupt when an adult is talking? This is getting more and more uneducated! They say that you should marry a virtuous wife, but you were so noisy back then. I didn't want to marry her unless she got married, and she finally got her wish. But look at how even the children in the family dare to disrespect me as my great-aunt. No wonder she almost beat my Cuiya to death last night. Your iron-hearted mother-in-law wants to alienate us. The love between sister and brother!"
She didn't care at all that Li's mother was still there, and immediately started to complain. There was no smile on her face like when Li's father sent Zhang Cuiya back last night.
Li Daniu and Li Erniu’s eyes widened. They didn’t expect their aunt’s expression to change so quickly. They were completely different.
The two daughters-in-law originally wanted to say a few words for their mother-in-law. After all, this was equivalent to speaking for themselves, but they were suppressed by Mother Li.
She took a step forward and said: "When it comes to tutoring, I really don't dare to compare with you, sister. After all, the three sons I raised will not be toads every day and think about eating swan meat. Besides, The two daughters are not restless masters, nor do they care about their own weight, so they dare to covet the position that does not belong to them!"
Mother Li did not speak, but she spoke directly. Zhang Li was so shocked that she was speechless. This was directly saying that she had not taught Zhang Cuiya well and that the toad wanted to eat swan meat.
Mrs. Zhang Li originally wanted to say a few words, but thinking that she had something to ask Mother Li during this trip, she could only suppress the anger in her heart and think about settling her daughter's affairs first.
"Forget it, I didn't come here today to talk about this. Let's talk about it inside first."
"I had been freezing in front of Lu's house for so long before, there was no reason to come here When she arrived at her younger brother's house, she was still suffering from the cold, so the mother and daughter went into the house on their own without even having to be greeted by the Li family.
The Li family looked at each other and knew that the person coming was not good, but they still followed them in to see what kind of monster they wanted to be.
"If my sister is here because of what I taught Cui Ya yesterday, then forgive me for not being willing to apologize to her. My sister should know what is going on in my family now, but this Cui Ya, she I'm restless. If we don't restrain ourselves, our Li family will lose the qualification to be appointed by the Lu family. By then, if my sister's family still wants to come back every three days to get some rice and noodles, but they can't."
Mother Li has never been a soft persimmon. On the contrary, she is very fierce. She just doesn't want to care about her eldest aunt for the sake of her old man's face. But if she really cares about her, eldest aunt may not really care about her. Her opponent.
"Also, I only slapped her once from beginning to end last night, but she howled as if her parents were dead. Today, the village began to spread rumors that our Li family beat her to a disability. , My sister also knows how important reputation is these days. One moment she wants to marry my Sanniu, and the next she falls in love with Mr. Lu. It doesn’t matter if his own reputation is ruined, and my son’s reputation is also ruined. On this point, I didn’t hit her a few times, but it was all to her advantage!”
The two daughters-in-law never expected that their mother-in-law would choose to be tough when facing their eldest aunt, and they also I thought it would be like before, just for the sake of my father-in-law, I would greet him with a smile, and then offer some benefits to settle things.
Now it seems that the Lu family is indeed my mother-in-law’s bottom line.
And the mother and daughter of this family are clearly trying to jump on the bottom line of their mother-in-law.
