Chapter 491: Evil Mother-in-law 37
Qian Hongmei advised, "Sister-in-law, it's like this after you get married. How can you live like a girl at home? When you go to your husband's house, you have to live according to the mood of the husband's family. You should think more open-mindedly. Isn't it just doing more housework? Look at the married girls in our village. Which one doesn't need to work in the fields to earn work points after marriage? When they go home, they still have to do housework and serve the husband's family. Everyone lives like this. You just do some housework and don't have to work in the fields to earn work points. You are already happier than many people. Sister-in-law, you should be content."
But Ma Xiangling was not satisfied.
There are three sisters-in-law in the family. The eldest and the third don't have to do any housework. She even has to wash the clothes. Why? They don't pay her any salary.
She didn't eat or drink anything from them either.
Why should she be a nanny for the whole family?
Ma Xiangling was indignant and unwilling to give in.
Although Qian Hongmei felt sorry for her sister-in-law, she also knew that she could not interfere in this matter.
I don't want to interfere.
She just felt that her sister-in-law was ungrateful for what she had. She was not satisfied with the good life she had and wanted the Han family to support her.
Why should they do that?
Han Conghui has a good family background and a good job. Apart from being a second-married man, he is a golden bachelor. So why would he marry a country girl like you? Isn't it because he wants to marry a capable woman to do housework at home and serve the whole family?
If you don't even do this little bit of work, why would the two elders of the Han family keep a useless person like you?
Qian Hongmei felt that her sister-in-law's resentment was unnecessary.
Qian Hongmei tried to persuade her sister-in-law for a few words, but seeing that her sister-in-law was stubborn, she went to work unhappily.
She was used to being hardworking and capable, and she felt uncomfortable if she was suddenly not allowed to do any work. So when she had free time, she would take the initiative to share the housework with Wang Cui.
Yuanchun never said anything when she saw him. He was busy, so what could she say?
Yuanchun left the task of entertaining her son-in-law to her eldest son, and went back to her room to take a nap.
Last night she went to the mountains and brought back a big roe deer, four pheasants and four hares. She gave one pheasant, one hare and three pounds of roe deer meat to each of her three daughters-in-law, and asked them to take them to her parents' home early in the morning to wish a happy new year.
Because there was a new son-in-law in the family and it was the first time they came to pay New Year's greetings, the three Ma brothers did not stay long at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house. They put down their New Year's greetings, sat for a while, and then hurried back to entertain their new brother-in-law.
Han Conghui, one of the three brothers of the Ma family, was chatting in the main room, while the three sisters-in-law of the Ma family and Daya and Erya were cooking in the kitchen. Ma Xiangling cried to her eldest sister-in-law, but when she saw that her eldest sister-in-law didn't mention going to the Han family to support her, she wiped away her tears in despair and went out to chat with her younger sisters.
When Yuanchun woke up from her sleep, her daughters-in-law had already prepared dinner for the guests.
There was chicken stewed with mushrooms, spicy fried rabbit cubes, braised fish, braised pork, roe deer meat stewed with radish, fried peanuts, a plate of scrambled eggs with spinach, and a few vegetables. The table was full of half meat and half vegetarian dishes.
As for this dish, not everyone in the city can necessarily cook it. When Han Conghui saw so much meat on the table, he began to respect his mother-in-law's family more.
It must be difficult for my mother-in-law's family to get so much meat.
Especially my eldest brother-in-law. Although he returned home after retiring from the army and lost one leg, he must have made a lot of friends as a guest over the years.
Therefore, when facing his three brothers-in-law, Han Conghui's slightly superior attitude faded a lot, and he spoke to Ma Xiangdong in a more sincere manner.
He no longer looked down on his mother-in-law Yuanchun.
