Chapter 466: Evil Mother-in-law 12
Ma Laoer's eyes flashed with surprise, "Mom, then I will take half a day off tomorrow, and I will borrow the captain's bicycle to take you to Lao San's house to get the money."
Yuanchun nodded, "That's fine. We have a bicycle and can make a round trip in the morning."
Qinghe Village is an hour’s bike ride from the county town. The original owner didn’t know how to ride a bike, so it would take three hours to walk there.
A round trip takes a whole day.
Ma Xiangling stopped crying and looked at Yuanchun in disbelief, "Mother, are you really going to the county town to ask my third brother for money?"
"What do you mean he wants money? He can't have any private money before the family is divided. I'm going to take my own money." Yuanchun said confidently.
In rural areas, unless the family is divided, sons and daughters-in-law cannot have their own private money.
All the money I earned was handed over to my parents, who kept it in safekeeping.
In the past, the original owner doted on Ma Laosan. After being coaxed by Ma Laosan, he did not ask the couple to hand over their wages, and even secretly gave Ma Laosan pocket money.
Now, hum...
After dinner, the task of clearing and washing dishes was assigned to Ma Xiangling.
Ma Xiangling didn't dare to say a word and went to wash the dishes obediently.
The next day, Ma Laoer took half a day off, borrowed a bicycle from the team leader, and took Yuanchun to the county town.
Ma Laosan works in a woolen mill in the county as a clerk, and his job is easy. Ma Laosan's wife, Wang Yingying, works in the supply and marketing cooperative in the county. Both of them have good jobs and high salaries.
Wang Yingying would often buy some defective products without tickets and secretly resell them to make a little money. Ma Laoer would also often take food, dried mushrooms, fungus, eggs and chickens from home and secretly resell them to make money.
Therefore, both husband and wife are good at making money.
But they are also very stingy and calculating. Ma Laosan and Wang Yingying have been married for six or seven years, but they have never brought a penny home. Even when they returned to the village for the New Year, the couple returned empty-handed.
After returning from the New Year, the couple took out large and small bags.
Therefore, it is no wonder that Ma Laoer resented the original owner's favoritism. No one would be willing to work hard to earn work points, only to raise a big rat for nothing for so many years.
After Ma Xiangling got married, she also learned from Ma Laosan to go home often to get vegetables. After all, it cost a lot of money to buy vegetables in the city, so they had to raise another little mouse at home.
For this reason, Ma Laoer and his wife were very resentful towards the original owner, which later led to the original owner suffering a stroke and becoming paralyzed. Ma Laoer and his wife were also unwilling to serve the original owner.
An hour later, Yuanchun and Ma Laoer rushed to the woolen mill's staff quarters.
Yuanchun would often send some home-cooked vegetables to Ma Laosan during the slack season, so many people in the family compound knew the original owner.
"Xiangnan's mother is here, bringing food to her son again."
There was an old lady who greeted Yuanchun with a smile.
Yuanchun suddenly became dramatic, sighed with tears in her eyes, and said, "What vegetables are left at home? Last time, Xiangnan picked them all, and there is nothing for the family to eat. Hey, I'm here to ask for money from my son. My third son has worked for seven or eight years, but he never paid a penny to the family. Now, my family needs money, so I'm here to get it."
A hint of gossip flashed across the old lady's eyes. "Oh my, you are so good to your Xiangnan. After so many years of marriage, you haven't given a penny to your family. Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is because you are generous. Otherwise, if it were another mother-in-law, she would have come to your door long ago."
Yuanchun wiped away her tears and said, "I had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here to cause trouble to the third brother and his wife."
"My oldest son lost a leg and returned home two days ago. I... wow... I felt so sad when I saw him."
"In the past, my family's life was supported by the eldest son alone. Now that the eldest son has passed away, the third son will have to support the family in the future. Otherwise, how will this family of people, young and old, survive?"
