I was a fortune teller in 90

Chapter 366 Doing one good deed a day

Seeing the old lady beating her chest and stamping her feet, Dai Qing found it inexplicably funny. The old lady just felt that her son had suffered a loss and couldn't stand it, so she wanted to train her daughter-in-law and make her a good wife and mother.

But now is a time of emphasizing gender equality, and the country is advocating that women can hold up half the sky.

Because of this, many new-age women have emerged across the country. They have outstanding performance in various fields, becoming role models of the times and leaders in an industry.

"Auntie, times are changing, and our thinking must keep pace with the times. Things are different now, and women can also be the backbone of the family. A family should support each other, show their strengths, and live a good life. That's what counts as ability."

"As long as your family lives well, others can only envy you. No one cares who cooks and who washes the dishes in your home."

old lady:"……"

However, she just couldn't bear to see her son fetching water for his wife to wash her feet. As a mother, she couldn't bear to order her son around, but he turned around and served tea and water, washed clothes and cooked for his wife. She was so angry when she saw it.

Dai Qing looked at her gloomy and uncertain expression and looked up at the sky in silence. Whenever a couple gets married and starts a family, the relationship between the couple is the closest. Even if the parents are unhappy about something, as long as the couple is willing, the parents should not interfere too much.

Unfortunately, the old lady favors her son and can't stand seeing him tired, which leads to constant conflicts between the couple, even to the stage of physical violence. Ultimately, it is because the mother-in-law has no sense of boundaries and controls too much.

Even after listening to Dai Qing's advice, the old lady still felt uncomfortable.

"I still can't stand it. How can a grown man go into the kitchen every day? I raised him to go to school and study, not for cooking."

"Auntie, your thinking is a bit out of date. Nowadays, most families have only one child. You have only one son. Your daughter-in-law has only one daughter. Every child is a treasure in the palm of their parents' hands. Housework can be done by both of them together. It doesn't have to be done by women alone."

The aunt was stunned. When her daughter-in-law was angry at home, she did say that her education level was the same as her son's and her job was more respectable than her son's. Why should she have to do the housework?
But the daughters-in-law of their neighbors are all good at housework. They serve their men comfortably every day. They have hot meals when they get off work and clean and neat clothes when they go out.

In their family, it is her son who does all these things.

"Alas, I am so miserable that I cannot enjoy the blessing of being a daughter-in-law. When we were daughters-in-law, we had to get up before dawn to cook for the whole family, and then wash clothes for the whole family. If we did something wrong, the mother-in-law would scold us. I dared not even fart."

"Now that I have finally become a mother-in-law, I am being controlled by my daughter-in-law. I still dare not fart. What kind of world is this?"

Seeing the old lady beating her chest and stamping her feet, Dai Qing almost couldn't help laughing. This old lady was trying to act like a big shot, but unfortunately times have changed.

He seemed to have heard someone say this before: parents always try their best to let their children avoid the hardships they have experienced, but mothers-in-law will always try their best to let their daughters-in-law experience the same hardships they have experienced.

The old lady sat on the stool in silence for a long time, then took out a dollar from her pocket and put it in the box.

"Forget it. I feel much better after coming here to talk to you. As for how they live in the future, I don't care."

Having said that, he sighed deeply, stood up and left.

Looking at the old lady's unwilling back, Dai Qing turned to look at Jiang Li and spread her hands.
"Does this count as doing one good deed a day?"

“People with good hearts will accumulate good karma for themselves. Even if they don’t get rewarded in this life, they can still accumulate a good background for the next life.” Jiang Li stroked his beard and couldn’t help but curled the corners of his mouth. The way this girl was counseling really looked like that.

"I don't have any idea about my afterlife. I'll be satisfied if I can live this life smoothly." I haven't fully understood how to live this life, so I won't force it for the afterlife.

Afterwards, another person came to look for marriage prospects. After Jiang Li personally read her fortune, he watched the person leave contentedly. The two of them packed up their things, carried their small stools, and went home leisurely.

As soon as I turned into the alley, I met Cai Kuan.

Looking at Cai Kuan, Dai Qing was stunned.

"You're out again."

"Aren't you going to buy a house? Take advantage of your free time to meet with Xing Zhou and ask about the house."

Cai Kuan lifted his briefcase, moved closer to Dai Qing, and spoke in a low voice,
"I have taken out all the money. As long as there is a vacant house to sell, I can buy it anytime."

Dai Qing raised her eyebrows at his mysterious movements. She didn't expect him to act so quickly. But it was okay. At this time, the sooner you buy a house, the lower the price.

The three of them returned home together. Dai Qing washed her hands and started preparing lunch.

The simplest lunch is noodles with soybean paste. Hand-rolled noodles, soybean paste made with diced pork belly, and some side dishes such as shredded radish, shredded green onion, and shredded cucumber are delicious.

Just one bowl per person and you're set.

When He Ning came in, he brought back a pair of blue and white porcelain pots with a bunch of flowers tucked under his armpits.

"Sister Dai, when I was cleaning the house, I found a pair of bottles in the utility room. They looked intact, so I brought them back to you to arrange flowers. I bought this bunch of daisies from the flower shop across the street. The clerk said that the flower buds can be plucked and used to make tea, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The blue and white porcelain vase has a big belly and a small mouth, and looks very round.
"Why don't you keep it? You can always use it after the house is renovated." This kind of bottle looks good even if there are no flowers in it.

"I don't like this kind of bottles. I like glass ones. It's the same when I buy a few glass bottles for flower arrangements."

This kind of bottle looks old-fashioned. It would look old-fashioned if placed in the home, and it doesn't match the decoration style.

"Okay, wash your hands and eat first. Let's try the noodles with soybean paste I made today. Do you like it?"

"I like everything Sister Dai makes. I never doubt your cooking skills." He Ning jokingly said, went straight to the bathroom, and then ate a bowl of noodles in a large bowl.

After the meal, Cai Kuan poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for everyone and spoke softly,
"I have already talked to Xingzhou about buying a house, and he has asked Mao Jian to help me keep an eye out for houses. It won't be long before we become neighbors."

"This is great. It will be much more convenient for us to have gatherings in the future."

When He Ning heard this, he was immediately delighted and patted his chest.
"If you don't have time to renovate the house, just tell me. After all, I have experience in renovating two houses."

"Thank you in advance. I will have to ask you to help me with the consultation when the time comes."

Cai Kuan didn't be polite with him about decorating the house. After spending a few days together, he had some understanding of He Ning's temper.
