Jiang Zhenzhen came back alone with her child in her arms. She was not very happy when she mentioned her husband Zhang Hua. Chen Xiuyun knew that something might have happened.
How can a mother not worry about her own daughter?
Jiang Xinyu filled the pot with water, put the firewood in the stove, washed her hands and went under the shed.
Jiang Zhenzhen held her baby in her arms and carried a bundle on her back, which she unloaded on the bench.
The baby's eyes were open in Jiang Zhenzhen's arms. The face of the little baby, who was more than half a year old, looked as thin as a monkey, with not much flesh on his face.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Has your brother-in-law made you angry?"
Chen Xiuyun took the child from Jiang Zhenzhen's arms, "Why hasn't he gained a little weight? Didn't you feed him the malted milk I gave you?"
Jiang Zhenzhen lowered her head and said: "Zhang Hua's mother gave away the malted milk. Since the breast milk is not enough, Dabao eats some rice cereal."
When she first gave birth to her child, her breast milk was sufficient, so she did not waste malted milk. In the past few months, her breast milk had become less and less. She said she wanted to feed her child malted milk, but her mother-in-law resisted, and finally she said that she wanted to feed her child malted milk.
Gave it away.
Chen Xiuyun wanted to curse, "Didn't I just give you the malted milk? Didn't you put it away properly?"
Jiang Zhenzhen said unnaturally: "When you leave, I gave all the malted milk and cans to Zhang Hua's mother."
Zhang Hua's family was not separated. She only left money, tickets and snacks, and she handed over all the other valuable things her mother gave her.
She did this because Zhang Hua's father helped her run her job. Even if she gave birth to a son in Zhang Hua's family, she didn't have enough confidence and she always had to behave in front of her mother-in-law.
Chen Xiuyun's face was even uglier than Jiang Zhenzhen's, "Did you go back to your parents' house just because of a can of malted milk?"
It would be somewhat inappropriate to go back to her parents' house just because of this matter. Chen Xiuyun does not agree with Zhang Hua's mother's behavior, but this matter is actually not a big deal. She has dealt with Zhang Hua's mother several times, and this woman is a powerful and independent woman.
Yes, but generally speaking, she is not someone who treats her daughter-in-law harshly. Besides, Zhenzhen gave birth to a fat boy in her first child. Zhang Hua’s parents were very happy. After Zhenzhen gave birth, they stewed an egg for her every day.
I treated her badly.
Jiang Zhenzhen lowered her head and looked very depressed. She shook her head and said, "It's not because of the malted milk."
A can of malted milk wouldn't make her angry enough to go back to her parents' house.
"Mom, my job is gone. Zhang Hua's mother asked me to give my job to Zhang Hua's fourth younger brother and sister, and let me go home to take care of the children. She said that she would find a job for me when there is a chance in the future."
This is not a matter of job, but a matter of mother-in-law's favoritism.
When she married Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua's third and fourth brothers were not married yet. Now the third brother is still in college and has not gotten married, but the fourth brother Zhang Chao got married first.
Even if Zhang Hua's family has some wealth compared to ordinary families, with four sons here, their wealth will soon be emptied by their marriages.
When Zhang Chao was not married, her mother-in-law loved her younger son. After they got married, she even bought a sewing machine and a radio for the woman's family.
When the fourth younger sister came in, her job was also given away. The reason was that the child was too young and she had to go home to take care of the child.
She has a serious high school diploma and can work in a supply and marketing cooperative. She also passed the exam before taking the job. She passed the exam herself. If she can occupy this position, it is also her ability, isn't it? Her mother-in-law asked
She was not happy to give up her job, and the most annoying thing was that Zhang Hua also helped her mother-in-law to persuade her.
After listening to Jiang Zhenzhen's words, Chen Xiuyun didn't speak for a while.
She didn't know what to say. Zhang Hua's parents had contributed to the job, but there were good reasons for Zhenzhen to give up the job. But if the son-in-law's fourth younger brother and sister hadn't come in, the job would have been fine.
It is enough to show that Zhang Hua's mother is indeed partial.
At the same time, Chen Xiuyun was also wondering whether Zhenzhen's husband's family was like this because her man died.
"Sister, how do you take care of your children when you go to work?"
Jiang Zhenzhen wiped away her tears and said, "Dabao saves trouble. Sometimes I take him with me to work. When I don't take him with me, Zhang Hua and his sister-in-law help to look after him. Occasionally, he goes home to nurse."
"I'm just so angry. Zhang Hua usually listens to me, but why does he just listen to me like this?"
Jiang Xinyu didn't know the specifics of Jiang Zhenzhen's mother-in-law's family, so she didn't say anything more. She consciously went to make a cup of malted milk for her eldest sister.
"Sister, if you are still here when I come home from vacation next week, I will steam mung bean cake for you."
A married daughter will probably have to return to her husband's house after only a few days of living there.
Chen Xiuyun carried the baggage into the back room, "It's good to come back, just in time for me to take a look at the child."
Jiang Zhenzhen has not lived in the new courtyard yet. After looking around, she felt that it was much more spacious than the old house.
"Little sister, where is Yuzhu?"
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "Second sister is filming a movie."
Jiang Zhenzhen’s eyes widened, making a movie?
Jiang Xinyu was busy washing her hair and taking a shower, while Jiang Zhenzhen was in the shed asking about what kind of movies Jiang Yuzhu had made and how she could make them.
When Jiang Xinyu finished taking a shower and washing her hair in the fence house, she felt completely refreshed.
Chen Xiuyun took out the new shirt she made for Jiang Zhenzhen and said, "Try it, I haven't had time to send it to you before I finish it."
What girl doesn't like to be pretty? Jiang Zhenzhen came back with a heavy heart, but now she has a smile on her face when she sees the new clothes. How can a mother-in-law be as good as her own mother? Mother-in-law can be partial, but her mother thinks about her everything.
The brigade leader shouted "It's time to go to work" through the loudspeaker. Comrade Chen Xiuyun wanted to go to work. After explaining to the two of them, he put on his straw hat and hurried away.
Jiang Xinyu was wearing clean clothes and sitting on a stool with her hair disheveled, washing clothes on a washboard. Jiang Zhenzhen put the child to sleep on the bed in the back room, squatting under the shed to tease Xiao Hei.
The sky was blue and transparent, and the sun was too hot. The cicadas on the trees were listless. Jiang Xinyu's hair was quickly sunburned under such a bright sun.
When Jiang Xinyu was drying her clothes, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Tiezhu, an old bachelor in the village, looking at the figure walking past her courtyard door.
"Little sister, your mother hasn't caused trouble recently, has she?" Jiang Zhenzhen felt that since she hadn't been back to her parents' home for a while, the family had changed a lot.
Jiang Xinyu combed her hair, "She didn't come looking for trouble. My father and my second aunt even sent frogs here before."
Jiang Zhenzhen curled her lips, "My second sister must have been in a movie and became a celebrity in our team, so they came to give us something."
Just like how she was treated, it was also because she married well and was looked down upon when she returned to her parents' home. But even so, she was not as good as Zhifei and Yuehua from the third uncle's family.
"Sister, have you read and reviewed your books recently?"
Jiang Zhenzhen said listlessly: "I read it, but I don't have much time to read. I'm just angry lately, so how can I have so much time to read?"
Jiang Xinyu said to her seriously: "Sister, you must read. If the opportunity comes in the future, if you seize it, no one can take your job away from your brother-in-law's house, and no one can bully you."
Only when you go to college can you truly change your destiny.
