Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 620 - 88: I Really Know How to Make Sauce_2
Niu Hong also comforted her mother: "Mom, don’t think about these things. Am I not spending money in the countryside? There’s nowhere to spend money there."
"The production team doesn’t give vacations easily, and the supply and marketing cooperative is still in the city. Even if I have money, there’s nowhere to spend it!"
It was just spent on some brown sugar and cloth tickets, and the rest were all saved up.
Thinking about this, she tried to console her again:
"Also, Mom, you shouldn’t always look down on Jian Country. Didn’t you say he was okay when we got married?"
"He’s quite considerate. Sometimes when I’m really exhausted at home and tell him I’m too tired to clean the dishes or the floor, he immediately suggests I do it tomorrow, and never forces me to do chores..."
"Finding a man like him these days isn’t easy."
"If he’s a bit nicer to his sister, then so be it. If my brother were around me every day, he would definitely treat me well too."
This made Aunt Niu so angry she couldn’t even hold the handlebars of the bike!
"You’ve really become muddle-headed staying in the countryside!"
"Let me ask you, when you’re too tired to do housework, does anyone else do it?"
"Putting it off until tomorrow or the day after... even if you put it off until next year, won’t you still have to do it?"
"If he doesn’t want to do it, his sister is in her 20s, eating and drinking off of you without contributing grain, she should be able to lend a hand, right?"
...
Well, that’s really unfair to Wen Juan.
She still had the old-fashioned thinking in her head!
How could a sister-in-law order her sister-in-law around to do chores? So, it’s only natural that she wouldn’t.
However, times have changed! Nowadays, grain is the lifeblood.
And they’re all adults now, not going to the fields, not doing housework, unwilling to even lend a hand. Only Niu Hong can put up with that.
No wonder Chen Jian Country’s mother-in-law can’t stand the sight of her son-in-law.
It’s because this person doesn’t care for her daughter!
You’re a grown man, no one expects you to do the work, but you can’t ask your sister to lend a hand?
A grown man still earning paltry work points in the fields, and her daughter came back from the marriage looking so thin. If she hadn’t thrown a fit at home, who knows how difficult childbirth would have been if she hadn’t regained her health!
Having been clever all her life, how did she raise such a foolish daughter?
Niu Hong: ...
Now thinking about it, it’s not quite right, but he is, after all, her husband and the father of her child. She laughed awkwardly twice and quickly said:
"It’s okay, Mom. I’ve always known how to manage from a young age. Think of the money I’ve saved, isn’t it heartening?"
Aunt Niu glanced at her, eyes heavy:
"Today, I’m going to ask how many houses they have. Not a penny of your money can be left behind!"
Aunt Niu had initially decided to maintain this family well, so she intended to spend as little money as possible to find a home for her daughter. As for the everyday expenses and visits, if Jian Country ever asked, it shouldn’t affect their relationship.
But now it seems—
She’s about to enter university. Regardless of whether her brother and sister pass the exams or not, even if they don’t, can the expenses for a year of retakes really come from her daughter’s private savings?
No way!
"Hong, if you don’t pass, I’ll talk to your sister-in-law, and they’ll take care of the kids at home for a year until the next exam round. If that doesn’t work out, you’ll have to find a way to support yourself. With two houses, you definitely won’t starve."
Niu Honghao felt helpless:
"Mom, you’re really something! We haven’t gotten anywhere yet, and you’re already planning my single life... aren’t you going to let your two granddaughters have a father?"
Aunt Niu: ...
Sigh, isn’t this just out of anger?
She hadn’t really thought about it that way!
But apologizing was out of the question, so she could only awkwardly turn her face away:
"Alright then, we’ll see when we go today. But about Jian Country, I’ll have to give him a good talking to when I get back tonight."
"And that sister-in-law of yours."
"At her age and she’s not even willing to lift a finger to pour herself a glass of water at home, how can you raise a sister like that?"
Aunt Niu thought: her daughter might be foolish, but she is not.
Now, with her staying at home for a while, she must take the opportunity to teach Jian Country well and not let him treat his wife like a beast of burden... although family life can’t always count these things, her son-in-law, as a grown man, should be considerate when necessary!
What’s the use of just saying those sweet words?
...
Chen Jian Country is still unclear about his future life.
After all, no one would have expected such an unconventional mother-in-law as Aunt Niu in this relatively conservative time.
A typical mother would rather die than let her daughter get a divorce.
And here she is, without anything happening yet, already planning her daughter’s single life.
