Chapter 500: Chapter 500: n Should Share Household Chores with Won
“You dare say it, if you say it, don’t expect to get your daughter married off,” the matchmaker was not a faint-hearted woman, glaring threateningly at the old lady.
Everyone says that matchmakers can turn white into black, and black into white.
The matchmaker’s anger imdiately shocked the old woman.
The old woman suddenly lost her temper and looked at the matchmaker with an apologetic smile, “Matchmaker, I’m also here to do business with you to help you make money.
How can you refuse, and I’m not asking you to do much, just go and say a few words, that child from the Xu family knows my daughter.
You understand what I an?” The old woman had no choice but to say this because she didn’t want to lose such a good son-in-law.
The matchmaker was stunned for a mont but quickly understood the implication.
This made things much easier, she could earn one hundred yuan just for connecting them; isn’t that easy money?
Moreover, with so many people in Xujia Village, how could it just so happen that she ran into that girl.
The matchmaker suddenly put on a smiling face, “Then let’s make this clear first, one hundred yuan for connection.”
The old woman nodded, one hundred yuan was nothing, if this really worked out, their family would beco wealthy, not just a few hundred yuan, they could afford thousands.
“Alright, alright,” the old woman happily left after saying this.
“Qiuye, how is your mother-in-law treating you?” Mother Qiuye asked her daughter.
Since getting married, her daughter had gone to school and then the Xu family faced so troubles, and Qiuye had not had ti to return.
Now that she finally got ho, Mother Qiuye pulled her daughter close and had endless questions.
Xu Ren Guo, sitting close to his wife, heard her questions and said loudly, “Isn’t that nonsense?
Look, our Qiuye has gotten plumper, life must be great.”
“My daughter is pregnant, now it’s for two, isn’t it normal for her to gain weight?” Mother Qiuye said irritably; her husband only knew the Xu family was wealthy, totally disregarding their daughter’s feelings.
Wealth is one thing, but whether the daughter is mistreated is another matter entirely.
Who didn’t know Mrs. Xu was tough, had tad her daughters-in-law, who hadn’t dared to return to her parental ho for years?
And there was the Xu family’s little aunt, spoiled at ho, she was really afraid her daughter was being bullied and dared not speak.
Anyways, their ho was close-by, and even though the Xu family now was both wealthy and influential, she wasn’t afraid; she would demand justice if her daughter was bullied.
Qiuye felt warm inside as she looked at her mother, “My mother-in-law is quite nice.”
“Really? She didn’t bully you or your sister-in-law?” Mother Qiuye still couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Qiuye shook her head, “My mother-in-law is really nice, Shengcai treats even better, and my little aunt is also kind to .
I, my sister-in-law, and my mother take turns cooking; the little aunt cooks deliciously and does it at ho too.
The household chores are taken in turns among us, and mostly the n do more work while we just rest and watch.”
Xu Ren Guo glared, “Isn’t this nonsense?
Outdoor tasks should be for n, the chores inside the house should be done by you won.”
Xu Qiuye wanted to argue, but seeing her father’s glaring round eyes, she opened her mouth but said nothing.
Instead, Xu Shengcai, who had just returned from the bathroom, started to argue, “Dad, what you said is not right.
It’s normal for n to earn money for the family and do outside tasks, but it’s not just won who should do the household chores.
Won give birth and also have to take care of the children, which is not easier than n going out to work.
So, whoever in the house is less tired or has free ti should do the chores.”
Xu Ren Guo thought these were all faulty argunts, but considering his son-in-law’s current status, he just smiled faintly and didn’t continue the conversation.
Xu Wenbing followed up in agreent, “I think my brother-in-law is right.”
Mother Qiuye smiled and held her daughter’s hand, realizing upon hearing her son-in-law’s words that her daughter had married the right person, “Alright, chat with your dad for a while. I’ll go make lunch for you.”
“I’ll join you,” Xu Qiuye stood up.
Xu Ren Guo was sitting there like a lord, just about to talk to Xu Shengcai.
Xu Shengcai then stood up and followed Mother Qiuye, “Mom, just tell if there’s anything you need to do.”
But Mother Qiuye couldn’t bear to put her son-in-law to work this soon after he had just arrived.
Xu Qiuye was not so courteous with him, “We’re short on firewood; you could chop so.”
“Ok,” Xu Shengcai responded and started chopping firewood with an axe.
Xu Ren Guo watched, astonished.
“Luckily my sister insisted on marrying my brother-in-law, or else soone else would have had these good days,” Xu Wenbing said with a smile.
He admired Xu Shengcai even more and resolved to beco a man like him.
He was determined not to be like his father, who had let his mother struggle for most of her life.
“Mom, what can I do to help?” Xu Wenbing eagerly ran over.
Just as Mother Qiuye was about to refuse, Qiuye said, “Mom, why can’t boys do work, why should boys be more precious than girls?
In my mother-in-law’s house, all the n in our family have to work. Even though my mother-in-law favors my little aunt, I think it’s right, girls need to be cherished.”
She would treat her own daughter the sa way in the future.
“Right, Mom, you’ve worked hard raising us; it wasn’t easy.
As your children, we should help you with so of the housework,” Xu Wenbing said.
Mother Qiuye’s eyes reddened a bit.
In the past years before her daughter got married, it was always her and her daughter who did the chores at ho. This year, hearing her son say these words filled Mother Qiuye’s heart with indescribable relief.
“Then help kill a chicken,” Mother Qiuye said.
Xu Wenbing nodded, and Xu Qiuye, now following the Xu family, had also learned quite a bit of cooking.
The lunch that day was mostly prepared by her: a plate of braised pork, mushroom stew chicken soup, fried atballs that were pre-made by Mother Qiuye and then reheated by him.
He also prepared so vegetarian dishes, and lunch was basically ready.
Xu Ren Guo was extrely bored sitting in the courtyard, finally, when it was ti to eat, and Xu Shengcai had taken his place at the table, he could hardly wait to start asking.
“Shengcai, I heard you’re starting a rural tourism business? What is that?” Many people had been asking him these days, but he was completely clueless about what it involved.
Today, finally having the chance to ask his son-in-law, he could later go out and boast about it.
“Rural tourism, by the na, is a place created in the countryside for people to eat, drink, have fun.
Xujia Village is beautifully scenic and even has spring water, making it a sight to behold.
My younger sister has planted a fruit orchard on the mountain for people to pick fruit.
She has also planted many different types of flowers for visitors to enjoy the scenery.
Additionally, there’s a fishpond where people can spend ti fishing and other small gas.
It allows those who love traveling to co here and relieve stress.”
Xu Ren Guo pretty much understood it was essentially a place for city people to co and indulge.
“Brother Xu, it’s ti to eat.” Xu Ren Guo lived in a textile factory residential area, and at that mont, several n walked into the courtyard smiling and headed toward Xu Ren Guo’s family.
