Chapter 14: Half a Catty and Half a Tael
According to her mother-in-law's instructions, Mrs. Du opened the cabinet door and looked at the neatly stacked clothes inside, arranged in layers, with envy flashing in her eyes.
When her father-in-law was around, he would bring back a piece of cloth for her mother-in-law to make clothes every time he went out.
As a daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law only allowed her to make two sets of clothes every year, one set of spring and autumn clothes, one set of summer clothes, and winter clothes every three years.
If she wanted to make more sets, she would use her dowry or her own pocket money.
She had no extra money at all. Whenever she saved a few coins, every time she went back to her parents' home for festival gifts, her sister-in-law would always say in a sarcastic way that she was very stingy after marrying into the family of a juren.
She didn't know how to honor her parents, but only knew how to live a good life.
There were only two major festivals a year, one was the New Year's Day and the other was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Every festival gift was given by her mother-in-law, and it was not shabby. A piece of bacon, a bag of lotus seeds, a box of cakes, plus the festival-specific rice cakes and moon cakes, it was already very good.
Even so, the sister-in-law was not satisfied. Even her mother advised her to be more generous and not to be stingy every time she went back to her parents' home, which would embarrass her family.
She had no choice but to smile bitterly. Every time she barely saved a few dollars, she could only use them to make gifts for the festivals, just to keep her sister-in-law from her parents' home.
She helped her mother-in-law change her clothes and brought breakfast over.
"Mom, this is specially reserved for you."
A bowl of white porridge and a plate of pickled radish strips.
Bai Yunxi drank a mouthful of porridge, which was thick and cooked at the right time, and tasted good.
After a bowl of porridge, her stomach finally felt better. Bai Yunxi took a handkerchief and wiped her hands while sighing, fortunately she was dressed as a mother-in-law, and the bad daughter-in-law didn't dare to act rashly. If she was dressed as a daughter-in-law, she would have to serve the old and the young, and work hard, which would be really tiring.
No wonder the old saying always says that after many years of being a daughter-in-law, she can finally become a mother-in-law. I'm afraid it's the dream of all women.
"Did the eldest go to the village to repair the shack?"
Listening to her mother-in-law's question, Mrs. Du was stunned, "... the master seems to have gone to the town."
"Going to the town to find a job?"
Bai Yunxi was stunned. The eldest reflected all night. Did he have an idea?
"It should be... right." Mrs. Du smiled awkwardly.
'Although the master didn't say it, he must have gone out to hide away. He felt that the shack was embarrassing and was afraid that the villagers would laugh at him... It would be great if the master could rent a house in the town and take them away together. '
Bai Yunxi looked at Mrs. Du. She was worthy of being the person next to her. They really understood each other.
"It should be? You are a couple. How can you not ask where the man is going? In the current situation of the family, as the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law, can't you tell which is more important?"
Asshole, the couple are the same kind of people.
"Don't be angry, mother. The daughter-in-law was wrong. I should have asked in advance." Mrs. Du's face turned pale and she lowered her head immediately.
‘Last night my daughter said that her mother-in-law asked her to eat egg custard, and she thought her mother-in-law had changed her nature.’
“Mother knows that the master always pays attention to what he does. It’s also because my wife is stupid that the master doesn’t want to say more.”
Bai Yunxi pursed her lips. They are not good people.
System, if they take the initiative to separate, I can’t stop them, right?
This way, she doesn’t abandon them.
As soon as she asked the question, a virtual electronic screen appeared next to her, and a line of words appeared on it.
Whether it is active or passive, separation is not allowed. The host must teach his children to walk on the right path of life with the mentality of not abandoning or giving up.
Add transformation tasks, transform Du Shi, and reward 30 points.
Bai Yunxi saw the system’s prompt, gritted his teeth, signed in, and waved to Du Shi after getting one point.
