Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 978
Chapter 978: Chapter 979: These Days Will Only Get Better Chapter 978: Chapter 979: These Days Will Only Get Better Yun Men was startled for a moment, had she really never considered what business to do?
She felt that life was quite good as it was.
“Third sister-in-law, I haven’t thought about going into any business. I feel that things are pretty good right now. Last year our family harvested almost ten thousand catties of rice. I’m already very satisfied. Although it’s hard work, our family’s life is getting better and the kids are very well-behaved, even helping to feed the chickens.”
Meng Yunhan thought of mushrooms. Nowadays, many mushrooms are picked in the mountains during the summer, and you can’t eat fresh mushrooms in winter. This could be a good money-making business, but she really didn’t know how to cultivate these fungi. She would go and ask around. Since Xiaomen was unwilling to go out and do business, then they might as well grow mushrooms.
Life can only get better.
“When you built the new house, did your eldest uncle cause any trouble?” Meng Yunhan remembered very clearly what kind of person Zhang Jiang’s eldest brother was, and also their parents-in-law and uncles-in-law.
Speaking of this, Yun Men was full of anger.
“How could they not have made a fuss? You don’t know Zhang Jiang’s parents, they wanted us to give them money. Last year our family harvested several thousand catties of grain, but they came knocking on our door causing a scene, demanding that we give them support money. I’m not against providing support, but they must live separately. We’re willing to provide the support money, but she was unwilling. In the end, it was mother who talked them into leaving.”Yun Men was seething with anger when she mentioned this.
They were both sons, but they were treated so differently. After so many years, once they saw our family doing a bit better, they showed up at our door.
Back when she had twins, they didn’t come to look at them even once. She was left to care for two children alone while Zhang Jiang went off to work. Back then, they were so poor that they could barely afford to eat, and she said that she’d be satisfied if she could have white rice for every meal. Now that wish had been fulfilled,
“What about your eldest sister-in-law?”
Yun Men became even more agitated when she spoke of this, “My eldest uncle sees people in the same light. This eldest sister-in-law is just like the former one. After giving birth to a daughter, all their cooking and laundry are done by my in-laws. Didn’t you know, the year before last they saw our rice crop was good, last year they even came to steal our seedlings. Fortunately, Zhang Jiang and I saw it. Otherwise, they would have stolen them all, and what would we have done for planting? I wonder how my eldest uncle will treat my in-laws once they can no longer work. I’m just waiting to see.”
Both were sons, both daughters-in-law, yet she treated her in-laws that way, and now their hearts were set on the eldest uncle’s family. Now they have to swallow this bitter fruit because this is the consequence of their own actions.
“Xiaomen, what did Zhang Jiang say?” Being stuck in the middle as a daughter-in-law is really difficult.
Because you are someone else’s daughter-in-law.
If you do the slightest thing wrong, people will talk.
In those times, filial piety was taken very seriously.
However, having said that, raising sons and daughters is meant to provide for one in old age. If after all the hard work of raising a son, he sides solely with his wife, rifts start to emerge, which must be difficult for any parent to bear in their heart.
For example, when Little Huzi grows up and gets married, and his wife frequently argues with you, it would be very difficult for him to be stuck in the middle.
You’d think the son has forgotten his mother after getting a wife.
Conversely, the daughter-in-law might think that this man, her husband, can’t even protect his own wife. She’s entrusted her whole life to him, and if he behaves like this, trouble is bound to arise.
