Wearing Book Seventy, the Rough Hero Makes Money to Support Me Chapter 30 The Second Day of the Lunar New Year Returning to Her Mother's Home, Zhao Qingliu
Chapter 30 The Second Day of the Lunar New Year Returning to Her Mother's Home, Zhao Qingliu
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the married daughter returns to her parents’ home to visit relatives.
He Xing took her two sons and packed a basket of new year's goods. Mother Zhao insisted on stuffing a chicken for her and asked her to take it back.
How could other mothers-in-law be so generous, even if they didn't encourage their daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home to enjoy the autumn breeze? How could she be willing to take a chicken back? He Xing's eyes were sore, and she finally took the chicken back to her parents' home.
Li Rong didn't know what He Xing's family was like, and she didn't like to ask. She just watched He Xing return to her parents' home, and thought of the Li family. If it was convenient to go home, she would also like to go back and have a look.
Zhao's mother was old and had met a lot of people. With He Xing coming home, she probably guessed the thoughts floating on Li Rong's face.
Mother Zhao said: "Are you homesick?"
Li Rong nodded gently.
"Good boy." Mother Zhao said, "After a while, ask the second son to go to the village party secretary, give you a letter of introduction, and go home to visit relatives."
"Really?" Li Rong's eyes lit up.
"Well," Zhao's mother whispered to her, "it's not convenient for educated youths to go home, but if you marry into my old Zhao family, you will be a member of Dajiang Village. All you need to do is write a letter of introduction when you go home."
Not long after He Xing and his family went out, a woman followed by a man and two children walked directly into the Zhao family yard.
Li Rong happened to be drying clothes in the yard. When she saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to call. Looking at the woman's slightly familiar facial features, she thought of Zhao Qingsong's sister in the original book and vaguely responded.
She tentatively shouted: "Sister?"
Zhao Qingliu nodded and smiled at her: "You are the second daughter-in-law, right?"
Li Rong nodded and shouted into the room: "Mom, eldest sister is back."
Mother Zhao ran out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in her hand. Seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Mother Zhao felt a lump in her throat and said, "You're back. I guessed that you would be back today. My uncle and nephew are here."
, come inside quickly and sit down."
The man following Zhao Qingliu was her husband, his name was Li Dahai, who was from the next village. He was a head taller than Zhao Qingliu, dark and thin. He didn't seem to talk much, but he was honest and reliable. He also called "Mother"
", which is considered to be a greeting to Mother Zhao.
Zhao Qingliu has two children, a son and a daughter. Both children are dark and thin. They look like they have not eaten much nutrition. Their clothes are old and washed, but they are very clean.
The girl was older, looking about five or six years old. She grabbed Zhao Qingliu's pants and hid behind her with timid eyes.
The youngest son was only two or three years old and was being held by Li Dahai.
Zhao Qingliu asked them to call someone, so they called her "grandma" and then taught them to call Li Rong "second aunt".
Li Rong smiled: "Hey, you're so good."
She dried her clothes and went to the kitchen to help cook. Zhao Qingliu and the others would definitely stay at Zhao's house to eat, so they would have to cook more dishes.
Zhao Qingsong came back from outside and knew that his sister had returned home, so he went to the main room to chat with his brother-in-law.
Not long after, Zhao Qingliu also came to the kitchen to help.
She rolled up her sleeves. She knew how to find work and didn't talk much. Li Rong didn't know whether this sister-in-law was originally reticent or had something on her mind. Mother Zhao was here, and it was not her sister-in-law's turn to greet her.
What's more, Li Rong has not had much contact with this sister-in-law, so it's best not to ask questions.
Li Rong took the initiative to cook this meal. Her cooking was delicious. Zhao's mother was thinking about something and was absent-minded, so she let her cook. Li Rong could just cook quietly.
As the saying goes, a good daughter is better than her mother. Zhao's mother could tell that Zhao Qingliu had something on her mind just now.
While her son-in-law and nephew were not here, she asked Zhao Qingliu: "Nizi, has something happened? Why do you look so uncomfortable? Tell your mother, is the old Li family bullying others again?"
Zhao Qingliu sighed and nodded.
Mother Zhao frowned: "Old Li's family is really bad. What happened this time?"
Li Rong glanced secretly and found that Zhao Qingliu's eyes were red, and then she heard her swallow more: "Isn't my brother-in-law old enough? My mother-in-law wants to tell him that she is a relative, and now she wants to drive us out to live together.
It was to make a new house for my brother-in-law. Our family of four originally slept in one house and it didn’t take up much space. She just wanted to force us to death."
"Your mother-in-law is not easy to get along with. She didn't want you to get married in the first place because she was afraid that you would suffer hardship. That's why I let you go because you and Dahai refused to give up." Zhao's mother was so angry that she said, "Your mother-in-law, I
I won’t say it anymore. She is your stepmother, so you can’t expect her to treat you with all her heart. But your father-in-law can’t figure it out. Dahai is also his son, so why didn’t he come out to take care of it?"
Zhao Qingliu said: "My father-in-law just doesn't want to care. When my mother-in-law talks, he lowers his head like a deaf person. That woman has the final say in the house."
"You are really bullying people too much. Do you really think that we, Lao Zhao, have no one? When your eldest brother comes back, ask your father to take your eldest brother and the second brother to Lao Li's house to talk."
Li Rong listened to them quietly and probably guessed Zhao Qingliu's current situation from their words.
She then thought of Zhao Qingliu in the original book. There were not many descriptions about her, but from each description she could see that she was a hard-working and simple woman, but her life seemed to be quite hard.
She had another child later, but her mother-in-law pushed her and killed her. Later, Li Dahai went to dig coal and had an accident, leaving her alone to raise a pair of children.
Fortunately, with Zhao Qingsong's help, it wasn't that difficult for her. However, the heroine in the original book kept making troubles, and Zhao Qingliu was afraid of affecting their relationship as husband and wife, so he couldn't continue to accept Zhao Qingsong's help.
Zhao Qingliu later started some business and was able to make a living, so that's the end of the book about her.
Sure enough, not every mother-in-law is as good as Mother Zhao.
But Granny Zhao Qingliu was actually the stepmother, and Li Rong only found out about it now, and it was not mentioned in the book, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Don't go, mother." Zhao Qingliu wiped his eyes and gritted his teeth and said firmly, "I have discussed it with Dahai. If they want to take back that house, they can take it back. Dahai was also chilled by his own father and planned to find the village party secretary.
Come out and prove that we are done with Lao Li's family, and we won't support them when they get old."
"Well done!" Mother Zhao patted her thigh, "It doesn't matter whether you are doing well or not, at least you feel comfortable. By the way, where can you live when you move out?"
Zhao Qingliu stopped talking. Mother Zhao knew at a glance that she had not found a place to live, so she said anxiously: "Why don't you take Dahai and my nephew home to live there? There is still an empty room at home."
Zhao Qingliu refused: "We will apply for a piece of land from the village and build a small house to live in first." She also glanced at Li Rong, fearing that her sister-in-law would be unhappy if Zhao's mother persuaded her to come back to live.
Li Rong smiled: "This is your home. Sister, if you want to come back, you can come back."
After the New Year, she would go back to her own small kitchen to cook, and would not always eat with the old Zhao family, so even if Zhao Qingliu brought his family back, it would not have any impact on her.
