Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth Chapter 188: The Little Aunt Gets Scolded
"Dad, don’t worry! Tomorrow I’ll go with Grandma! You all can go to work or school! No need to worry!" Lin Xue said to diffuse the situation.
"Alright! Then Dad will head back to the factory shortly!" Lin Daliang said, not adding anything more.
As a father, to be looked down upon by his children, how much of a failure is he?
He secretly made up his mind that he must stand tall in the future and be a role model for the children.
Just like that, in the afternoon, after seeing off the six father and son, the family was left with the five of them, the grandmother and grandkids.
Lin Xue suddenly rembered that she had promised Chen Qiyue to deliver the fragrance and grain at to her in the afternoon but forgot.
She had no choice but to ride her bike and make another trip.
By the ti she returned, it was already dark, and Wang Cuihua was eagerly waiting at the door, extrely anxious.
Zhang Yuan and Li Jianshe had already gone to the road towards the town to et her.
When Lin Xue returned, she was scolded by the family and Zhang Yuan again.
Only after she raised her hand and swore she wouldn’t dare to do it again did they let it go.
The next day, Lin Xue slowly got up in the morning, washed up, and by that ti Wang Cuihua had already prepared breakfast.
It was still at porridge, boiled eggs, small pickles, and big stead buns.
The whole family ate their fill, and Lin Xue then took Grandma Bai Xianglan to the Bai Family’s house.
Zhang Yuan also wanted to go with them, but she didn’t let him. It wasn’t a good place, so what was the point of him going?
When they arrived at the Bai Family’s house, the room was bustling with noise; Gangzi was getting married but didn’t invite the villagers for a feast, only a few siblings and Lin Xue’s family were there.
The three daughters all ca with their families, Bai Xiaoi had been married for three years but hadn’t had children, so just the couple ca.
However, they didn’t bring newly made bedding.
That stirred up a hornet’s nest; Grandma Bai pointed at Bai Xiaoi’s head and started scolding, and it was very unpleasant.
When Lin Xue and Bai Xianglan entered, they happened to see Grandma Bai scolding Bai Xiaoi, who was crying but didn’t dare to make any noise.
Her husband stood to the side, trying to explain to Grandma Bai, but she wouldn’t listen to a word, muttering curses.
"Look at your eldest sister; she brought thirty pounds of corn kernels. Your second sister! She made the bedding and brought it over! Your second brother even contributed thirty yuan! But you! How did I give birth to such a thankless child? Your eldest brother has lived in soone else’s house for over thirty years, and he’s just returned ho. You didn’t even co to see him, and now he’s getting married, and you ca without any gifts, are you here for a free al? Huh? Asked you to make a set of bedding, and you ca empty-handed? Get out! I, Liu Lanxiang, don’t need a daughter like you! It’s just too much!"
Grandma Bai was spitting everywhere while the new bride Hu Xiaoqing sat in the room crying loudly, still talking about how getting married without bedding was so wronged for her.
Bai Dahe and Li Guihua had long retreated to their room.
Now they were living in the wing rooms; the east house was given to Gangzi to live in, and they moved their three children into the east-facing wing rooms.
Bai Dahe was no longer the spoiled youngest son he used to be.
Now Grandma Bai’s heart was entirely set on Gangzi, and Grandpa Bai couldn’t manage it.
"Oh... is this performing a drama?" Bai Xianglan said upon entering the room and seeing the scene.
"Aunt..." Bai Dajuan ca forward to greet her.
"Ah, aunt is here? Quickly, co in and sit!" Bai Dai was even more accommodating! She hurriedly tried to usher Bai Xianglan into the house "Xiao Xue, you co in too! Hurry!"
"I was wondering what was going on! Turns out your mom is squeezing her children again?" Bai Xianglan didn’t follow her inside; instead, she started chatting with Bai Dai.
Bai Dai and Bai Dajuan both disapproved of their mother’s behavior of squeezing daughters for the sake of her son. They finally had a reason to talk when aunt asked.
"Big brother is getting married, and it’s only right that we give so gifts. For our family, it’s doable, squeezing out what we can, but the situation for little sister’s family isn’t good, they can’t even fill their stomachs. Look at what she’s wearing; where would she get the new bedding?" Bai Dai and Bai Xiaoi lived in the sa village, so Bai Dai said this.
"Isn’t it? Whose family is easy nowadays? This thirty pounds of corn is what I scraped from between my teeth; we won’t have one dry al this autumn either!" Bai Dajuan complained.
"You two little brats, what are you talking about? Can’t I just ask you for so stuff when getting your brother a wife? Was it easy for your dad and to raise you to adulthood? In the end, you don’t want to give even this little bit? Shaless!" Grandma Bai’s ire turned to the two daughters.
Because she didn’t dare scold her sister-in-law Bai Xianglan, she vented on the two daughters.
Understanding their mother’s temper, the two daughters fell silent, while Bai Xiaoi’s husband took the opportunity to pull her aside.
The two talked in hushed tones.
"Xiaoi, I told you not to co back, but you didn’t listen. See how it turned out? You’ve been scolded!"
"But... if I didn’t co back, my mom would co and scold us here, making it even worse. I’d rather she scold now than risk my mother-in-law getting upset and making a scene." Bai Xiaoi said, eyes swollen from crying.
"It’s our family’s fault; if we had the money to make the bedding, you wouldn’t have been scolded! I’m sorry!" Feng Zhuangzhu wiped his wife’s tears, feeling very guilty.
"Zhuangzhu, don’t say that, it’s not your fault!" Bai Xiaoi whispered.
She had been married for three years and hadn’t had any children yet, Feng Zhuangzhu was the youngest son in the family and treated her very well. Although she hadn’t conceived, he never scolded or hit her, only her mother-in-law occasionally said a few things.
However, her father-in-law and mother-in-law lived together with the eldest uncle, but they had long separated the family. Although they were in the sa yard, they didn’t eat or stay together, and usually didn’t interfere too much.
"Today has been a real eye-opener; I’ve rarely seen a mother so biased!" Bai Xianglan didn’t say anything more and headed into the house.
Lin Xue looked at Bai Xiaoi and her husband, and it was clear they had a strong relationship. This aunt was only six years older than her, only twenty-one years old now, and had been very caring towards the original protagonist when she was younger.
After the family separation, this aunt often left so of her share of pancakes for the original protagonist to eat. That’s about all Lin Xue rembered from the original protagonist’s mories.
Why the two of them didn’t interact much later on, she couldn’t really recall.
Not saying anything, she followed Grandma into the room.
At the ti, the new bride was wiping tears, and the daughter she brought seed about seven or eight years old, sitting beside her mother, watching casually.
Gangzi sat next to the new bride, looking bewildered.
Though he was a bit of a ss, he quite liked the bride in front of him, at least she was pretty, so when she cried, he didn’t know what to do.
Seeing Bai Xianglan and Lin Xue walk in, Gangzi imdiately stood up and called out to his mother.
"Now that you’re married, live a good life!" Bai Xianglan uttered.
"Thank you, Mom, for coming to my wedding!" Gangzi treated Bai Xianglan with a bit of caution.
"Call aunt!" Bai Xianglan’s expression softened a bit; this child had changed considerably, knowing how to speak properly now.
