Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 673, quarrel and grievance

Zhao Jing endured the grievance and couldn't help but cast her eyes on Yan Jiecheng, who was standing outside stirring up the coal mud.

Thinking in his heart that Yan Jiecheng could be considered his husband, he could bear it when he heard several of them talking about him.

It's a pity that Zhao Jing didn't know that Yan Jieben took advantage of the attention of his two weird brothers to focus on Zhao Jing and had no time to pay attention to him, so he worked for a while and lazed around with a shovel. I was so happy that I didn't want to speak and attract everyone's attention, lest others see me being lazy. I knew very well what my brother was like.

When he met Zhao Jing's gaze, Yan Jiecheng subconsciously shrank his neck and lowered his head, not daring to look at her. Not to mention speaking, he pretended not to notice. Zhao Jing's appearance.

Until Zhao Jing looked at Yan Jiecheng, his eyes became more and more fierce, and his face became more and more ugly. Yan Jiecheng seemed to feel the sharp eyes of his wife. After thinking about it, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Dad! You asked me to drink coal slime and shake briquettes. This is equivalent to asking me to do the work of two people. Now you ask my wife to shake briquettes too."

"This is equivalent to two people in our family having to do the work of three people. Isn't this too unfair?"

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's protest, the third uncle, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekong immediately turned their attention to Yan Jiecheng. At this time, the third uncle felt that his authority seemed to be challenged. He had always been fair and impartial, and there was nothing unfair about him.

However, he did not speak directly, but asked with a puzzled tone: "In your opinion, how should this job be done to be fair?"

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "There are a total of 200 kilograms of briquettes here, and after adding the loess, we can produce almost 300 kilograms of briquettes. If it is fair, the three of us should each shake 100 kilograms of briquettes."

"Why! In previous years, our family also shook so many briquettes. This year, our family has one more person, so we should divide the 300 kilograms of briquettes into four equal parts."

"Yes! My second brother is right. Since we are married, we are a family, and we should do the same amount of work. This is only fair and reasonable." Yan Jiekuang added.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang are two brothers. They are not stupid. They originally thought that there was an extra person in the family this year, so they could work less. However, when they heard their boss distributed it like this, it was the same as before. There was an extra person. There is no difference at all from having one less person, so I am not happy about it.

After hearing what the two brothers said, the third uncle thought for a moment, but after much thought, he still felt that his new wife had just come into the family after all, so it was not appropriate to go too far, so their opinions were not supported by the third uncle. , but this shouldn’t be too much.

Hearing what Yan Jiecheng said was more reasonable, the third uncle was stunned for a moment. He thought about it in his mind and seemed to feel that what his son said was reasonable. After listening to this, he nodded frequently. He was about to speak to express his agreement, but heard Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekang talking. The two of them were not happy. If the old man of his family had to settle down, how could he play? This would not work. He could not let the old man take advantage of it. The two looked at each other at the same time. First, Yan Jiefang spoke.

"Although Zhao Jing and I are two people, I have already done more work with coal slurry, so logically, the two of us should just shake another 100 kilograms of briquettes." Speaking out what was in his heart, Yan Jie Chengsong He breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan Jiecheng felt that his distribution was fair and reasonable, and no one would suffer.

So after thinking about it, the third uncle finally chose a more compromise opinion. After thinking about it, he immediately scolded Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang: "Why are you arguing? It's the first time your sister-in-law comes in. You have to give people some time to adapt. I have the final say on this matter this year. I think the boss is right. This matter is settled like this. It will be the same as in previous years. You two will weigh 100 pounds each!"

"You can rest after shaking. As for the remaining 100 kilograms of briquettes, that is your eldest brother's family's business. They can do it whenever they like."

After the third uncle said this, he turned to Yan Jiecheng and Zhao Jing and said, "Our family has always been fair and reasonable. Zhao Jing, you should adapt quickly. It won't be like this this year and next year." After the uncle made such a decision, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang did not dare to continue the quarrel. They could only make a difference once, so forget it this time. However, they suffered a loss, so they could only continue to work with a long face and depressedly.

When Zhao Jing heard what Yan Jiecheng said, her mood immediately improved a lot, and the resentment in her heart during the past few days of her marriage also dissipated.

He immediately put the basket on the ground, then smiled proudly at Yan Jiefang and the others, then turned around and wanted to go back to the house, intending to go back and lie down for a while.

Unexpectedly, before Zhao Jing had taken two steps, she heard Yan Jiecheng turn his face and say to her:
"Zhao Jing! Each of us will do half the rest of the work. You finish shaking the basket of briquettes first, and then come over and replace me. When I get tired of shaking, I will go over and replace you."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Zhao Jing's good mood disappeared instantly. She originally thought that Yan Jiecheng was going to do all the rest of the work for her!

In the end, Yan Jiecheng talked for a long time just to save him half of the work. Fortunately, she was a little moved just now because she was stupid.

Looking at the triumphant Yan Jiecheng not far away, dark clouds once again enveloped Zhao Jing.

But this time Zhao Jing couldn't hold back at all, and all her grievances came to her. She didn't care about the others beside her, and said directly to Yan Jiecheng: "Yan Jiecheng, you are still not a man. Let me help you with this task." Come on, if you do it yourself, you will be exhausted! I am your wife."

These words were yelled by Zhao Jing with a tearful voice. After yelling these words, Zhao Jing went directly to her room in the front yard without looking back, lay down on the table and cried.

People in the courtyard who were sorting out their own briquettes also heard the commotion in the third uncle's house and looked over one after another. Those who don't eat melons these days are really sick.

Seeing his wife crying and returning to the house, Yan Jiecheng was completely panicked. He quickly put down what he was doing and followed Zhao Jing back to his house.

"That's not what I meant. I didn't mean for us to work faster together and get to bed early."

Hearing Yan Jiecheng's sophistry, Zhao Jing, who was crying, stood up directly, looked at Yan Jiecheng and said directly: "You can do it! Yan Jiecheng, I have seen through you, what did you tell our family before we got married? , what are you doing now."

"You and I won't say it anymore. I marry a chicken and a dog will follow the dog. I admit it. But look at your family. You have to pay the rent to live in the house. I won't talk about it. Look at which family still pays for food. Money, even if the money is divided per person, even if you eat pickles, I won’t talk about these other things. My brother came to see me today, and he just had a meal at our house and your family still needs money. There is no such frugality as frugality.”

Zhao Jing felt aggrieved when she said this. After saying this, she covered herself with a quilt and started crying again. When Yan Jiecheng heard his wife say this, he just stood there rubbing his hands and was a bit confused to speak like this. Of course he knew the situation at home, but he There is no way around this, and I don’t know how to tell my wife.
