Chapter 511: Foolish Husband 4
In the public kitchen, every household has two stoves, one large and one small, all of which burn coal briquettes. When cooking, you just turn on the stove and start cooking. When done, replace the coal briquettes, put the lid under the stove back on, and put a pot of water on top.

However, in order to save coal briquettes, everyone only uses one stove. Only when relatives come to the house, or during the New Year or other festivals, and when there is a lot of food to cook, will everyone use two stoves together.

Yuanchun cooked the rice, steamed the egg custard, and brought the pot and the rice into the house.

He turned around, took a few more potatoes, went to the kitchen, and fried some shredded potatoes in a small iron pan.

Yuanchun put the food on the table, and Zhao Dong came out of the room yawning, "Yuanfang, I have to work during the day and take care of the children at night. I am too tired. Let Yuanchun look after the children at night. If the children are hungry, send them to our room so that I can feed them. Otherwise, I really can't handle it."

Wei Yuanfang felt sorry for his wife and was about to nod when he heard Yuanchun say, "Sister-in-law, you complain of being tired after going to work. I cook, wash clothes and clean every day. I am busy inside and outside by myself. I am more tired than you. Moreover, you get paid for your work, but I work for you for nothing. I don't get paid a penny. Even so, you still don't let me go and want to leave the child to me at night. Do you want to tire me to death?"

"Sister-in-law, if you think your work is too tiring, then you can just sell your job and let my eldest brother support you. My eldest brother earns so much a month that he can support you. You don't have to be so tired, and I can go home and spend more time with my parents. It's the best of both worlds, sister-in-law, what do you think?"

Wei's father and mother had a son and a daughter. The son worked in a steel plant in the provincial capital and only went home to stay for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

After Yuanchun came to the provincial capital to help her brother and sister-in-law take care of the children, the old couple were the only ones left at home. They relied on working in the fields to earn work points to earn food.

The old couple would ask someone to bring the fine grains they received every year, as well as the sweet potatoes, radishes, potatoes from their private plots and the vegetables grown in the yard, which would be dried, to the steel plant for their son and daughter-in-law.

Even so, Zhao Dongxiu was still not satisfied. From time to time, she would say a few words that looked down on the country people, and she would always bully the original owner in her words and deeds.

What made Yuanchun angry was that when Zhao Dongxiu belittled the Wei family as country people, Wei Yuanfang said nothing and allowed his wife to bully her own sister.

Yuanchun looked at Wei Yuanfang with contempt, "Brother, your parents really gave birth to you in vain. Look at your wife, she is exhausting your sister. Not only do you not feel sorry for me, your sister, but you also want to help your wife to do evil. Brother, brother, people say that men forget their mothers when they have a wife, but you forget your whole family after you have a wife. Since you got married, my parents and I have become strangers."

"No, I became a slave to you two."

"Look, ever since I came to your house, your wife has treated me like a maid and even asked me to wash her underwear. Do you have any shame?"

Yuanchun looked at Zhao Dongxiu, whose face was ashen with anger, and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand now. No matter how well I do, no matter how hard I try to help you take care of the children and manage the family, in your heart I am just a maid who can be ordered around at will."

"Sister-in-law, since you don't treat me as your sister, I won't treat you as your sister-in-law in the future. You should wash your own clothes in the future. I am only here to take care of your children for free, not to be a slave and do all the work for you."
