Rebirth and struggle for rural daughter-in-law

Chapter 39
After dinner, a few guests came to the house, and they were often seen in the courtyard. Zhang Guilan was busy greeting the female guests, and Luo Ji took the men to the east room. Although Milan's status was embarrassing, it was not easy to avoid it at this time. Besides, there was no place to hide, so Zhang Guilan called everyone to Westinghouse.

One of them, Zhang Guilan, looked familiar but didn't know its name. I just remembered that it was the person who asked me with a newspaper last time, sitting next to Wang Li, and Jiang Zhi was holding Li Quan and sitting next to Milan on the other side of the bed.

"Sister-in-law, sit down quickly, don't treat us as guests, we all live upstairs and downstairs." Zhao Chunmei didn't see anyone at all, and asked Zhang Guilan to sit down enthusiastically.

Zhang Guilan was not blinded by the sudden sugar-coated shells, she sat down by the side of the bed, "It's rare for you to come here once, and I can't let you even drink your saliva. Wouldn't it make me feel bad if it spread out?" This sister-in-law is stingy."

"My sister-in-law pays five yuan a day for hiring someone, how can anyone dare to say that you are stingy." Wang Li spoke quickly.

Zhang Guilan saw Jiang Zhi bowed his head guiltily, understood a little bit, and said politely, "Five yuan is a lot, but it's not easy to earn. You also know that I make these mung bean cakes. It looks easy, but it takes a lot of money all day long." If you can't keep up with this amount, you can't give so much."

When he came back, Luo Ji talked about being scorned by others, and now someone came to the door, and the two words were worth five yuan, Zhang Guilan also understood a little bit, Jiang Zhi was weak, so he must have been dragged here by force, so Do you feel sorry for her?
"Looking at what my sister-in-law said, I'm tired and I can't make it to the dealer." Zhao Chunmei took the words back, "When my sister-in-law read the newspaper last time, she knew she was not an ordinary person. She could think of making a living by herself. But it gave us women a sigh of relief."

Seeing that she can talk, Zhang Guilan would not stretch out her hand to slap her in the face, "Why don't you live up to expectations? I just want to make this life better. Seeing that people eat meat, we are also greedy for meat. That is, we live in People in the compound are highly enlightened, otherwise this individual will be looked down upon and pointed out wherever he goes."

Wang Li snatched the words again, "What's the shame? Only I know whether this life is good or bad. I envy my sister-in-law. If I have half of my sister-in-law, I will be satisfied. My Song Qing is seven years old, and they say he is a half-grown boy." Eat poor old man, isn’t that the same sentence, don’t look at him as a young man, but one person can eat as much as the two of us. My family’s husband only spends more than 30 yuan a month. If he can’t save a penny, he will buy rice. This money has to be calculated and spent, otherwise Dalian will not be able to eat enough with one hand."

From the beginning to the end, it was her family. Except for some good families, almost every family lives like this. Zhang Guilan never asked how much money Luo Ji's family had, but she still remembered the things in her last life. More than half of the money she spent was from Luo Ji. Ji borrowed it, she didn't ask Luo Ji for money in this life, and she also knew that Luo Ji didn't have much money.

If she hadn't been thinking of ways to earn money by herself now, the family would not have eaten coarse grains every day like them, and had dumplings in time for the festival.

"Life is not always like this. I have only been here for a few months. Men don't think about the things of life. There is no vegetable storage in autumn. Now I have to buy every cabbage. One is divided into two meals." Added meat, Zhang Guilan did not say.

Wang Li smiled, her expression seemed to be saying that Zhang Guilan was crying poor, but Zhao Chunmei said heartily, "That's not the reason, it's good to have food like us, most people in the city have food to eat at this time, most of them are The corn stubble is the pickle. In the past, when I was not with you in my hometown, life was much more difficult than this. I was almost full of coarse grains for a year. Now I can eat a meal of fine grains and vegetables every few days. I am content with this day .”

"Sister Jiang, I heard that all of you in Shandong love to eat noodles, most of them eat steamed buns, are you not used to eating here?" Zhao Chunmei was very able to stir up the atmosphere, pulling Jiang Zhi who had been silent to speak.

Jiang Zhi nodded, "That's right, I've been eating steamed buns all the time, I didn't get used to it in the first few days here, but now I'm fine."

Hearing this, you can tell that he is a sincere person.

"People over there know how to make pancakes. Why don't you learn from your sister-in-law and sell some pancakes? They're fresh here. You can appoint someone to buy them." Wang Li said again.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly said no, like he was afraid that if he said something late, he would prove guilty, "My family can't do without people, I'm a fool, I don't dare to think about how to do business."

"Hey, listen to this, is this Quaner you're talking about a child or the child's father?" Zhao Chunmei joked with a smile.

Wang Li thought of something, and laughed from the sidelines.

Jiang Zhi was so teased that everyone panicked, "It's a child, and the child was born in my hometown. My mother-in-law and father-in-law wanted a son, so I took the name."

Zhang Guilan looked at her like this, and it was impossible to think about it, especially what Wang Li told her two months ago. The screaming was so loud that it was impossible for upstairs and downstairs to pretend not to hear it.

Milan has been left out in the cold. Seeing everyone laughing, he couldn't figure out what was going on. Seeing Jiang Zhi's eager to explain and shy look on his face, he knew that the problem was with her. , can only be ignored on the sidelines, this feeling makes her feel bored.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Chunmei got up and said to leave. Wang Li glanced at her, hesitated to speak, and finally didn't say anything, and got up with Zhao Chunmei.

When they reached the living room, Zhao Chunmei called out to Dongwu, "Old Wang, you're home."

Hearing a response from the other side, a few men came out. It was rare that Luo Ji had a smile on his face. Accountant Wang even patted Luo Ji on the shoulder. The noodles are delicious, let's have a sip someday and try the handicrafts of my siblings."

"Okay, when I'm off work this week, come to my house to eat." Luo Ji was also straightforward, and directly set the date.

"That's a good deal." Song Weidong was afraid that Luo Ji would repent, so he found Zhang Guilan among the people, "Sister-in-law, we will come to your house to eat that Saturday, don't forget to bring our meal."

"Okay, just bring your stomach." Zhang Guilan replied with a smile.

Speaking of which, she was really happy. In her last life, she was lazy and didn't like to do housework. Luo Ji asked a few colleagues to come to eat at home, and she threw things, which made Luo Ji very embarrassed. Although those people didn't Said, but in the end, he never came to the door again.

After living a new life, Zhang Guilan will never make such a mistake again, and she is even more happy to have the opportunity to show off her cooking skills and earn some face for Luo Ji. After saying this today, Zhang Guilan suddenly remembered something. In the last life, Luo Ji was not A few colleagues from other places came, and it was not good to go home after changing jobs. They wanted to go out to work, so they happened to come to see Luo Ji when they passed by.

Zhang Guilan can't remember the day clearly, but it seems to be the beginning of spring.

Let's go, it's past eight o'clock in the evening, and it's time to rest.

Back in the east room, Luo Ji took off his outer suit and hung it on the hanger, "They didn't tell you about the hired workers, did they?"

"Wang Li wanted to mention it, but she was blocked by Accountant Wang's wife. I said it frankly at the beginning, and she knew that I would refuse, so she didn't mention it." Zhang Guilan said, "This Is there anyone else besides the three of them on Saturday? I want to watch the cooking."

"Call the Zongyi couple downstairs too." Luo Ji always felt that he owed Yang Zongyi a favor regarding Milan.

"Row."

"Here's ten yuan. Let's see what you can cook." Luo Ji took out ten yuan and put it on the table.

Zhang Guilan spread out the bed, walked over to collect the money, "Okay, don't worry."

Of course Zhang Guilan is not short of the ten dollars, but it represents the dignity of Luo Ji's man. She knows that the man in front of him has a macho stubbornness deep-rooted in his bones. If she doesn't take the money today, he must feel that he is eating Soft rice.

Luo Ji sat on the bed, glanced at the collected money out of the corner of his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Upstairs at Wang Wanwan's house, as soon as she entered the house, Wang Li's face darkened. Seeing her son coming to greet her, she was not angry, "It's so late and I don't want to go to sleep."

Wang Chaoping raised his sleeve and wiped his nose, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"It's been a long time since I finished eating and I'm hungry. You are so hungry, go to sleep."

Wang Wanwan took off his coat, and interrupted her dissatisfiedly, "What are you shouting at night, you can hear it downstairs and you don't feel ashamed."

"I'm afraid of being ashamed. Looking at you like this, you know you haven't said anything, so why are you making this trip?" Wang Li gasped and sat down on the bed.

Wang Wanwan pulled his collar, "I'm going to sit with you today. I'm not going to be your lobbyist. You can solve your women's affairs by yourself. You women are also shallow-sighted. I will tell you on weekdays. You didn’t listen to the people in the courtyard after a good time, so you can use your cash to catch up now? On weekdays, you only know how to hang out with those people from the city.”

"Are you still blaming me? I have shallow eyelids today. Isn't it because of this family? Look at you, you only earn more than 30 yuan a month, and people hire workers for five yuan a day. You can't even compare with a woman."

"She is also a woman, and you are also a woman. Why can't you compare? I only know that I am talking about my wife all day long. Let me tell you, you have to stay away from those things in the future. It is not easy for me to stay in the forest area. Don't offend everyone." Wang Wanwan also got angry, his wife told him what happened last time, and he was called to the office to talk, so it's embarrassing to think about it.

Wang Li tossed her clothes, turned her back to her husband and lay down, she flattered those family members in the city, didn't she hope that there would be a promotion or something in the future, which would help her husband?Why didn't he understand her hard work.
