Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
Chapter 395 Son-in-law from the capitalChapter 395. Son-in-law from the capital
This time Ma Cheng Min introduced someone. He recommended on behalf of old Madam Xu, who helped manage the small workshop. That person was her own eldest granddaughter.
She was seventeen years old this year and was helping out at home. Still, was a good one.
Lin Qing He had seen her. Although she looked mediocre, she was obviously a nimble worker. She smiled before welcoming people.
So when old Madam Xu mentioned it, Lin Qing He asked her to bring her over.
The old Madam Xu’s husband’s family’s surname was Chen. The granddaughter brought over was named Chen Shan Shan.
Although the name hinted delicateness, Lin Qing He glanced at her hand. There were many calluses, which indeed indicated a capable worker.
"Because you’re a novice, the salary is definitely not the same as that of an old employee. I can only give you 30 yuan a month. It depends on your ability from now on. If you do well, you will definitely get a raise." Lin Qing He looked at her.
Chen Shan Shan wasn’t very tall, about 1.6 meters. Still, she didn’t get stage fright, nodded, and said: "I know, my mother told me when I came."
Her mother was Li Yu Feng, who was with her mother-in-law, old Madam Xu. One in charge of the night shift and the other in charge of the day shift.
Lin Qing He nodded with satisfaction.
So Chen Shan Shan was arranged for Zhou Er Ni’s clothing shop’s side.
But the job wasn’t fixed yet. Lin Qing He occasionally made Zhou Er Ni and Cheng Yue swap shifts She got Cheng Yue to watch the clothing store and Zhou Er Ni and beverage store.
She also let Hu Zi or Gang Zi go to the beverage shop. Of course, not often. Just occasionally changing shifts.
At the end of September, Xu Sheng Mei and Zhao Jun came back. And with them, was First Sister and her family.
The whole family came.
Lin Qing He had the urge to laugh when she saw this. What time of year was this now? Autumn harvest was soon. The most important period of the year for a farming family. She didn’t expect them all to come.
It seem that this marriage was truly valued.
It was no wonder. They got a son-in-law from the capital. How can they not come and get in touch with good fortune?
Lin Qing He couldn’t bother entertaining her. Her attitude was neither lukewarm nor cold. They probably noticed her attitude as First Sister didn’t come closer either.
They all went to squeeze in Father Zhou and Mother Zhou’s side.
Mother Zhou didn’t scold her granddaughter much, but with her eldest daughter, she didn’t hold back.
First Sister couldn’t lift her head up from all the scolding. She also felt a bit aggrieved and said: "Mother, I know that Sheng Mei didn’t handle it right but now she’s getting married..."
"Only thinking about the marriage? If this is in the village, don’t even think of raising your heads for the rest of your life. If this was in the former times, see if she will get dragged away to get criticism for being loose !" Mother Zhou reprimanded.
"It’s not the former times. Already reforming now." First Sister weakly answered.
"So you are in the right? When she committed this kind of family reputation-ruining act, have she ever thought about old Zhou family? Her aunt brought her here to work. And she? She hid it from all of us. Not only did she secretly got together with someone, but also got pregnant!" Mother Zhou exploded.
"Since Fourth Sister-in-law brought Sheng Mei here, I left her to Fourth Sister-in-law’s care. Who would have ever thought of this kind of thing would happen." First Sister looked away.
Mother Zhou wanted to serve her a big slap. She glared at her, "Do you still have a conscience? Do you still have a conscience? Fourth’s wife brought her here and gave her food, clothes, housing, and quality daily necessities. Your household couldn’t provide this kind of condition. Also, she paid so much salary every month. According to me, she shouldn’t pay a penny. It’s only right that the niece to do some work for her aunt!"
Mother Zhou wasn’t joking about this. In the beginning, she had this thought. She couldn’t bear for her youngest son to pay so much salary.
But it was Fourth’s wife who said to give it, so it was given and she didn’t say anything.
"She was brought over from her hometown to a big place like the capital. Everything given to her was good stuff. Every day, she just watched the shop without needing to suffer the wind or rain. It is many times better than in the countryside. Now you turn it around. Saying that she was like this due to Fourth’s wife bringing her here!?" Mother Zhou’s gaze pinned on her eldest daughter: "Don’t forget, at that time, it was you who sent your good daughter to the old Zhou’s house and begged Fourth’s wife to bring her over. Fourth’s wife originally intended to only bring Er Ni!"
First Sister lost her bravado, she just responded: "Mother, I know Sheng Mei is wrong in this matter but it’s already like this now. You haven’t seen Fourth Sister-in-law. She didn’t us a good face."
And began to complain.
In fact, First Sister wasn’t willing to admit defeat. She was the eldest of old Zhou family. The other three sisters-in-law respected her. Only Fourth Sister-in-law alone didn’t take her seriously.
This time it was even more so. Seeing her whole family coming from afar, she didn’t host them. Just one word of greeting and it was over.
Putting aside hospitality and all, how much did she dislike her family?
Didn’t her fourth brother went back this year and asked her if she wanted to come to the capital to develop?
Such a good younger brother learned to be somewhat hypocritical after marrying this wife. Her family came here and didn’t even serve hot water to drink. Now they were here, was there any care?
She used to think that this fourth sister-in-law wasn’t good. But now that she became more capable, it went without saying she became worse.
When Xu Sheng Mei went home this time, she had privately sobbed to her mother. Saying, Aunt was partial to Hu Zi, Er Ni, and the others. While she wasn’t so good to her and wanted to drive her back. That’s why her mind was led astray for a while and did this kind of impulsive thing.
So in First Sister’s opinion, did Fourth Sister-in-law dare to say she has no responsibility now that something like this has happened?
Mother Zhou didn’t know what she was thinking. If she knew, she will definitely slap without holding back.
But when she heard her eldest daughter’s words, she didn’t agree: “She held good intention and raised such a white-eyed wolf who ruin the reputation of old Zhou family, so don’t talk about Fourth’s wife. When the marriage is done, go live her life well. And don’t come here often too."
First Sister’s expression changed and she hurriedly said, "Mother, we can forget about Fourth Sister-in-law’s side. You can’t leave her alone. This is your granddaughter!"
Her family came now but when the marriage matters are completed, going back was the normal course of action back. In the future, the daughter will be here alone. She will need her maternal family’s care?
This son-in-law was very dissatisfied with this marriage. When he reached their hometown, he disliked their home a lot. He disliked this and then disdained that at every moment.
Still, she accompanied with a smiling face. After all, this was a young master son-in-law from the capital. How could not entertain with a smile?
But regardless of how she entertained him, this son-in-law really disliked their home. In the future, the family won’t be able to help in her marriage. So didn’t she need care from her maternal side?
