Chapter 17: Women should be strong

 In the evening, Liang Jin had another meal of roast pork, and then got up to say goodbye.

Mrs. Wu told him that she would stay at home for one night and asked him to go back and meet his eldest sister first.

Liang Jin nodded and said yes, and reluctantly went back after eating.

 After he left, Mrs. Wu took the child back to the house.

 At night, Wu’s mother slept in the same room with her two girls, while the four boys went to sleep in a side room.

At this moment, mother and daughter were sitting on the kang, chatting and eating melon seeds.

Sister Ying was also wearing short-sleeved shorts and fluttering on the kang.

 In the countryside, a kang is used for burning, so the room is warm.

As Wu’s mother distributed sweet potato sticks to the two sisters, she said to them, “Your sister-in-law didn’t come back tonight. I don’t know when she will come back.”

Mrs. Wu took a bite of sweet potato sticks and said, "I'll probably be back in a few days. Her natal family can't support anyone now."

The Wang family was not poor originally, but now all the family property has been lost to his son, and it has long been extremely poor.

The Wang family originally favored sons over daughters, so it was expected that the Wang family would not be able to stay for more than a few days.

Mother Wu ate a melon seed and said, "I'm afraid that she will make trouble with your elder brother again when she comes back, and then the house will be noisy again."

 Lao Da Wu is a tough person. He is the eldest and the pillar of the family, and of course he has a big temper.

If Mrs. Wang makes trouble with him, he won't say soft words. The couple will be so stiff, which will make the atmosphere in the family bad.

Second Sister Wu also took a bite of melon seeds and said, "My sister-in-law just can't carry it clearly. If she were to marry into my scoundrel husband's family, it would be too late to cry. She married into a good family like ours and it would be fine if she didn't snicker. She would still want to poach her all day long. It’s really stupid to give money to that **** brother.”

 Wu Shi, "Who says it's not the case? I don't blame my eldest brother for being so angry."

“But it’s not her fault. Her parents are just confused. When their children become bad, they don’t teach them. Instead, they just stare at the money bags of these sons-in-law. Alas.”

Mother Wu also said, "Yes, your sister-in-law just doesn't see the virtues of her parents clearly. Otherwise, she would never want to return to her natal family."

Like the other daughters and sons-in-law of the Wang family, they basically never go back to their father-in-law's house for fear of being asked for money as soon as they return.

No one is rich, and money does not come from strong winds. How can we always stick to a gambling brother-in-law.

 There are seniors and juniors, who has the money to subsidize a **** brother-in-law?

Second Sister Wu also sighed, "Then the eldest brother and sister-in-law quarrel. What are you and dad going to do? Persuade or scold?"

Mother Wu said, "If they have a small quarrel, we won't bother with it. After all, it is their husband and wife's business. If it gets bigger, your father will definitely be angry."

 They are the most civilized parents-in-law in the village.

 Normally I don't care about them as a couple, and I won't talk about them when they quarrel.

Unlike some parents-in-law, as long as the daughter-in-law dares to talk back, the whole family will definitely deal with the daughter-in-law.

 They don’t know how to do it, so they try their best to persuade me.

Second Sister Wu couldn't help but roll her eyes, wondering why she was not lucky enough to marry into a good family.

Mother Wu is also worried about her second daughter.

He asked her, "Are you going directly to your sister's store tomorrow? That store is freezing in the winter, and you might freeze if you sleep there."

The winter days in Ningxi Town are fine during the day, with the sun shining brightly, but at night, it gets extremely cold and the wind blows loudly.

There is a burning dragon at home, but the shop does not, and it must be frozen when I sleep at night.

Second Sister Wu sighed, "What can we do? I don't have anywhere to go."

Mrs. Wu said, "Second sister, why don't you go live with me? There is an empty room at home, in the front yard, and there is a side door. It is very convenient for you to come in and out."

Second Sister Wu shook her head, "Forget it, your mother-in-law is too considerate, so I won't cause you any trouble, otherwise she will have to accuse you again."

She took out the small abacus in her arms and said to her mother and sister, "I think this way, I will make another year of money this year, and then I will open a branch of my own. The pork will be taken from our house. Then the store will be open outside. You don’t have to go back to Huang’s house to suffer.” She thought about it for a long time.

 In the past two years since she has been running the store, she has met a lot of people and gained a lot of knowledge. She also knows that some women nowadays can buy a house and move out on their own.

 Although she wanted to reconcile, the Huang family would definitely not agree.

 So she wanted to stay away from the Huang family and open a store somewhere farther away, and then take over her two sons when the business was stable.

Sister Ying listened with interest and secretly thought that the second aunt's idea was very good.

 If reconciliation is not possible, then leaving your unpleasant husband’s family is the best option.

But the Huang family is a lazy family. When the time comes, the family will have no money, and they will probably have to ask their second aunt for money again.

Second Sister Wu was not afraid of this and said to them, "I won't give it to you. What can they do?"

 These days, I have never heard of old men asking women for money.

But the Huang family is so rogue that they are not afraid of not being able to do anything, so she has to move far away, preferably so that they can't find her.

Even though Wu Mu felt that this idea was not easy to implement, she was not opposed to it.

 The only thing is, “Business is not easy to do now, especially if you, a foreigner, want to open a store outside, you are afraid of being squeezed out.”

 Their family sells pigs, hams, and bacon themselves, and they know that business requires knowledge and skills.

 Furthermore, people need to use money to smooth things over, which is not as simple as one might think.

Second Sister Wu is not afraid of the hardships in business and is determined to give it a try.

 Wu was very supportive of her after hearing this.

“Second sister, just go and try. If you don’t have enough money, come and tell me, and I’ll get some for you.”

After all, they are biological sisters, so we should help them as much as possible.

 Second Sister Wu was moved and said, "Okay, my sister will remember all the good things you did to her."

 If the business does well in the future, I will definitely remember my sister’s share.

Mother Wu also said, "Don't worry, I really need money, and my mother will leave a share for you."

At this time, Sister Ying also stretched out her short little fist and made two babbling sounds to indicate that she was one of them.

 The three of them all laughed when they saw her like this.

 The mother and daughter chatted for a long time and did not fall asleep until late at night.

The other end.

After Liang Jin went back by himself, Mrs. Liang saw him coming back alone, frowned and said, "Where is your wife?"

Liang Jin explained, "I'll stay at my mother-in-law's house for one night and let me come back and get together with my eldest sister and brother-in-law."

There is nothing wrong with this, but Mrs. Liang is just unhappy.

“Your eldest sister and brother-in-law finally came back, and she didn’t know she would come back to talk to your eldest sister.”

Liang Jin felt ashamed and explained for his daughter-in-law, "The father-in-law's family also misses Ning'er very much, so they can just let her stay for one night."

Old Mrs. Liang saw that he was speaking for the Wu family again, and immediately snorted, "It's all because of you!"

Which daughter-in-law dares to instruct the man to come back on his own, while she stays in her natal family to enjoy her happiness? How outrageous!

 But Liang Jin didn't think so, so he didn't take it seriously when his mother was angry.

Sister Liang saw her younger brother coming back and waved to him, "Second brother, are you back?"

Liang Jin nodded, "Yes, will eldest sister stay at home for one night?"

Sister Liang nodded, "Yes, my mother and I will sleep in the same room tonight, and your brother-in-law and the children will sleep in the guest room."
