Rebirth and struggle for rural daughter-in-law

Chapter 58
Chapter 57: Sewing Machine Dowry
Luo Haiying entered the room without even calling out to her sister-in-law. She looked around the room with envy in her heart, and she knew that she had come to the right place, especially when she saw the sewing machine that had just been turned on on the ground, she felt more and more that it was the right time.

Zhang Guilan put Luo Haiying's bag on the chair. She said it was a bag, but it was actually a piece of cloth wrapped around some clothes or things. No matter how much she didn't like this sister-in-law, she knew she couldn't show it first, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to pour out a glass of water. .

"Drink some water first? Are your parents okay? Why didn't you send a telegram in advance so that your brother can pick you up."

Luo Haiying took the words, not in a hurry, and took a few sips first, she looked like a leader, Zhang Guilan also knew that it was useless to coax her, and everyone said that daughter-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law are natural enemies, she understood this truth , I simply sat down on the chair next to me, and took the upper of the shoe that was placed on the table last night. The upper was wrinkled after sticking to the paste, and I had to smooth it out.

Luo Haiying looked at Zhang Guilan out of the corner of her eyes, and turned her face away in displeasure when she saw the black sweater she was wearing. Sure enough, the elder brother was partial and let Zhang Guilan come to the city to enjoy the blessings. He had never bought a sweater for his younger sister.

Luo Haiying's displeasure was evident on her face, and Zhang Guilan could see all of it, just as if she didn't know that she was the same age as Luo Haiying, both of them were eighteen, if she hadn't relived her life, in terms of prudence, she really wasn't as good as Luo Haiying , but in the face of reality, she was much more calm than Luo Haiying in reliving her life.

"When will my brother come back? Didn't Milan come to rush to my brother? Why didn't I see anyone?" Luo Haiying answered irrelevantly.

Zhang Guilan didn't take this attitude seriously. It was like this in her previous life. When they were in the village, when the two families got engaged, Zhang Guilan and Luo Haiying disliked each other. They all walked away with their chins raised, and half of their eyes looked down on her. After Zhang Guilan married into the Luo family, Luo Ji left the next day.Only Zhang Guilan was left in the Luo family to face the people of the Luo family. In Zhang Guilan's heart, she looked down on Milan because Milan and Luo Ji had talked about each other. With Luo's father in front of his eyes, he might have fought together long ago.

Seeing Luo Haiying's attitude in this life can't arouse Zhang Guilan's dissatisfaction at all. Anyway, he is a person who doesn't care, "Your brother found someone to arrange a job for Milan, and now he works in the Women's Federation. It is now a probationary period of 20 yuan each." Month. After one month, it will be 30 yuan a month. The work unit provides a meal at noon, and she told me to eat two meals of braised pork and two meals of fish a week, and the food is good.”

Zhang Guilan stopped laughing, "Milan's life is really good. Finding such a good job."

She didn't believe that Luo Haiying would not be jealous after hearing this. Compared with Milan, Luo Haiying was Luo Ji's younger sister. Instead of giving such a good job to her own sister, she gave it to an outsider. Anyone who heard it would be embarrassed.

Luo Haiying was jealous when she heard it, and she refused to let Zhang Guilan see it. She looked calm and said, "It's really a good job. But Milan graduated from junior high school, and she is the only one in our village with such a high education. She can find such a good job." The work is also reasonable."

Zhang Guilan pursed her lips and said in agreement, "That's not true. So no matter whether a man or a woman, this person must be educated."

Knowing that Luo Haiying was implying that she was uneducated, Zhang Guilan was not annoyed. This was a fact, but in her previous life, she would have had a big fight with Luo Haiying, and the final result was that she was humiliated without any dignity.

Luo Haiying was taken aback by Zhang Guilan's attitude, and took a special look at Zhang Guilan. She didn't think that Zhang Guilan had changed after a few months in the city. She must have other purposes, and she became vigilant.

But looking at Zhang Guilan proudly like this, Luo Haiying felt uncomfortable, and finally looked at the unpacked cardboard box on the ground, "Is this sewing machine newly bought? Is it a lot of money? My brother used to give me 30 yuan a month before The postage at home is twenty, no wonder I don’t post a penny now, I’m buying property here.”

These words were sour, those who knew she was Luo Ji's younger sister, those who didn't know thought she was Luo Ji's wife.

Zhang Guilan didn't even raise her eyelids, she stroked the upper of her shoe, "Your brother now pays 35 yuan a month, and the factory distributes [-] catties of rice every month. When I didn't come over, your brother didn't stock up on autumn vegetables for winter. Now All the food at home is eaten and bought, and I can’t save much money, so I don’t have enough money to buy family property.”

Zhang Guilan almost said that she bought the sewing machine.

"Brother has always said in letters that he eats in the forest area, that is, the food distributed in the factory can't be eaten and saved. Of course, there is no need to store vegetables for winter at home." Luo Haiying naturally did not believe Zhang Guilan's words, she Don't know that Zhang Guilan is half-hearted, and she can still make money?

While accusing Luo Ji of not being able to save money now, it is all because of Zhang Guilan.

"It's getting late, you go to cook, and if you're tired, go to bed and lie down first." Zhang Guilan got up with the smoothed shoe uppers and went to the east room, and put the things in the cabinet.

When she came out of the house, she saw that Luo Haiying was already squatting next to the sewing machine, touching the sewing machine with joy, as if it was her baby, Zhang Guilan felt unhappy, and turned to go into the kitchen. Anyway, the things belonged to her. Just let her touch it a few times, and let her snatch it away.

There will be a party at home tomorrow, and Zhang Guilan's birthday, so tonight she just wanted to make something simple to eat. She didn't expect Luo Haiying to come, so she couldn't fool around with the meal. She cut the five catties of meat she bought into about half After a catty, I cut another half of cabbage. There were less than five catties of noodles at home, but I bought four catties today. Zhang Guilan planned to make noodles tomorrow. I ordered four bowls of noodles, and made dumplings with cabbage and meat at night.

When Luo Ji opened the door with the key, he heard the sound of stuffing being cut. The depressed mood of the day was gone, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Why are you full of dumplings today?"

As a result, when he looked up, he saw Luo Haiying in the living room. He was shocked for a moment, and then returned to his usual indifference, "Haiying is here."

But from the look in his eyes, it could be seen that he was happy.

Since he was admitted to university, he seldom goes home, and he seldom takes vacations every year. The only time he goes back is more when he gets married, and that time he can spend more time with his family.

"Brother, you are back." Luo Haiying threw herself into Luo Ji's arms joyfully, "If I don't come, you don't know how to go back. You almost forgot about my sister."

"You're talking nonsense." Luo Ji shouted angrily, his eyes full of spoiling, "You have never been out of the house since you were a child, how can your parents rest assured that you will come here by yourself? They didn't give me a report in advance. What if something happens? What nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ji regretted it. He glanced into the kitchen out of the corner of his eyes. After he finished the arrangement and accompanied him, his wife came by car alone. The younger sister was the same age, and she cared about her younger sister, but she didn't think about her daughter-in-law. Luo Ji also felt that what he just said was wrong.

Luo Haiying didn't think about this.He only talked with his brother. "Brother. I'm eighteen. I can't go anywhere. If there's nothing to worry about, my parents don't worry. You're the only one who has too many things to do."

After being glared at by Luo Ji, Luo Haiying stuck out her tongue and changed the subject, "Brother, did Milan really look for you? I knew she came to look for you. She stole away secretly. After the family found out, they were anxious, or I went to comfort my uncle and aunt, and told them not to worry. I told them after I received your letter. They were relieved. She is working in the city now, where does she live? Do you have a phone? Tell her I am coming, She must be happy."

Every time Luo Haiying said a word, Luo Ji's heart sank a little, and it thumped.I was afraid that the daughter-in-law in the kitchen would be angry if she heard it. At first, Milan came here secretly. After he asked, he sent a telegram to the family. He never told the daughter-in-law about this matter, but now his sister vomited it all out.

Seeing that her elder brother was absent-minded, Luo Haiying tugged at the corner of his clothes angrily, "Brother, did you hear me when I told you? Are you unhappy that I am here? If you are unhappy, I will go back. I am in the way of others Even if you don’t welcome me, I’ll go back.”

"Why do you get angry while talking? I was thinking about something just now." Luo Jizhi didn't mention Milan's matter. After the fight, his clothes and hats were not hung up, and he pulled his sister's hand away. Going to Beijing for training, how long will you stay here?"

"Training? How long will you be there?" Luo Haiying followed the people into the study room. Seeing that there was only a bed besides the bookcase, she looked away, "You left right after I came, so what should I do?"

Luo Ji closed the door casually before asking, "Did something happen at home?"

Luo Ji has long since changed to Mandarin after being away these years.

Luo Haiying also sat down by the bed, "It's nothing, but I'm getting engaged, and I think I won't be able to come out until I get married, so I'll come out now to see the world."

"With the grown-ups in the village?" Luo Ji knew something about it. Last time he went back, he heard from his parents that he would be engaged to the village chief's family. Now that his younger sister is eighteen, it's not too early.

Luo Haiying rarely showed a shy side, nodded and said, "It's scheduled for June this year, and my parents asked me to tell you to ask you to take a leave of absence in advance."

Before Luo Ji could speak, Luo Haiying said again, "Brother, I see that your family has newly bought a sewing machine. Give it to me as a dowry. The money you have sent home for a few years has not saved anything after building a house."

"Sewing machine?" When Luo Ji saw his sister, he didn't pay attention to anything else, so naturally he didn't see the sewing machine.

"Well, I just unpacked the box, and the sewing machine hasn't been installed yet. Brother, you can pack it up and take it with me when I leave." Luo Haiying really likes this sewing machine. If she brings it back, she will be the first one in the village to use it. Sewing machine, besides, she didn't want to make Zhang Guilan happy.

That kind of woman is not worthy of her eldest brother. If it weren't for the kindness of her family, the eldest brother would not marry her. It would make Milan feel wronged. Why should Zhang Guilan take all the good things now? When I came here, there was nothing I could do, but now that I came by myself, I couldn't let her wish.

She is married, so she doesn't believe that her eldest brother is reluctant to part with a sewing machine. Luo Haiying really wants to see Zhang Guilan's mad face when she finds out. When she entered the room and saw Zhang Guilan's posturing, she felt uncomfortable.

　A new day has begun, girls, isn't the update time arranged by Ba Ba reasonable?Before you go to school, go to work, after lunch, and before going to bed at night, you can get together with Ba Ba’s Wen, hehe
