Chapter 64 is not good.
Inside the house, upon hearing the commotion outside, Old Mrs. Qin immediately ran to her room, closed the door, and pressed her face against the window to look inside.
Let's make a scene, let's make a scene.
Anyway, as long as it involves this old woman, we'll just treat it as entertainment.
She thought her newly found grandson was quite capable, able to get his hands on malted milk powder, meat, and all sorts of other things.
Even if you don't get along with him, don't offend him too much. Although she's not his biological mother, she's still an elder. As long as you don't fall out with her, he has to be respectful to her.
Ah, it's so lively outside, it's a pity there aren't any sunflower seeds. If there were sunflower seeds, that would be so nice.
yard.
Xiao Fen's dissatisfaction immediately attracted many neighbors who wanted to watch the show, especially the family in the small courtyard.
However, Xiao Fen caused a scene this morning and was severely punished by Xu Sui and her husband, along with Wang Yinhua.
Those people didn't dare to get too close; they just watched from a distance in front of their own houses.
Sister Ma, who works at the neighborhood office, often handles these kinds of domestic disputes. She came over and said, "Sister Tian, I think your eldest daughter-in-law has a point."
"We mothers-in-law can't be biased; we have to treat everyone fairly throughout the night."
"Xiao Fen is right. Since Yunzhou and Suisui are coming back to live here, the housework should be shared equally. That's the only fair thing to do."
"Every family goes through this process. If Sui Sui marries into your family and does nothing, it would be too unfair to Xiao Fen, who is also a daughter-in-law of the Qin family."
Seeing that someone was speaking up for her, and that this person was a staff member of the neighborhood office, Xiao Fen felt more confident and spoke more forcefully.
She looked at Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou, and raised her chin.
"Although you haven't separated the family yet, you two can't just eat and drink for free in this house. You should make a statement. I can't keep taking your side all the time."
Tian Hua's face turned completely ugly. She put down the kitchen knife and rushed over to grab Xiao Fen.
"What are you doing? Can't you talk things out? Yunzhou and his wife have only been back for two days. Are you, as the eldest sister-in-law, determined to turn this family upside down?"
Of the three sons, the eldest was not the one who received the most help from the family.
To be honest, the second son and his wife received absolutely nothing from this family.
Xiao Fen rolled her eyes. "Mom, you're so biased!"
"Anyway, this matter must be resolved today. If it isn't resolved, I'm going back to my parents' house. I'll come back when this is resolved."
Tianhua wanted to say something more.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou exchanged a glance. Xu Sui stepped forward and said, "Alright, since you want to resolve this matter, let's have a good talk about the relationship between your first branch and our second branch today."
"I remember when my older brother married you, the bride price and the wedding banquet were all paid for by our parents, right? You got married three years ago. At that time, the bride price your family gave you wasn't too high, but it wasn't low either. It was roughly the entire Qin family's wealth at the time."
"Also, six months ago, my older brother got a temporary job at the lumber mill. It was also thanks to my parents' money and connections that he got it. Although temporary jobs are not as good as permanent jobs, it's not easy to get a job these days. You and your husband know how much money it cost them."
Xu Sui paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Xiao Fen's face.
"Anyway, Yunzhou and I have only just returned to this family. Compared to you, our elder brother and sister-in-law, we really have nothing. Whether it's the dowry and banquet for our wedding or our jobs, none of it has anything to do with the family."
"If we really want to calculate it, let's calculate all of these things clearly."
Xu Sui doesn't like to cause trouble, but if others provoke her, she's not afraid of trouble.
Today is their second day back home from the military.
Normally, one wouldn't be in such a hurry to say these things. Even if one is in a hurry to say them, one should find a place to sit down and discuss them properly.
Instead of suddenly tearing things apart in the yard and accusing her and Qin Yunzhou of taking advantage of each other.
Xiao Fen's expression stiffened slightly before she could speak.
Qin Yunzhou walked up to Xu Sui, demonstrating his stance through his actions.
His face was cold and stern, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly becoming sharp, exuding a strong sense of pressure at first glance, and he said in a deep voice.
"Sister-in-law, today is the second day since Xu Sui and I returned home from the army. From this morning until now, you have been dissatisfied with us and causing us trouble."
"Originally, there were some things I didn't want to dwell on because I considered you all family, but now it seems you don't treat us like family."
"Since that's the case, if you want to calculate it, then calculate it all clearly and see who gets more from this family and who is the one who suffers the most."
Qin Yunzhou looked at Tian Hua, paused, and asked, "Mom, you don't mind us doing this, do you?"
When children have a falling out, it's always the parents who suffer the most.
But he wasn't exactly a patient person, and Xu Sui was even less so.
I've only been back for a short time and I'm already running into trouble. If I continue to tolerate it, I'm afraid they'll only escalate their actions.
Tian Hua was silent for a moment, then shook her head. "Of all the children, your father and I owe you the most. We haven't been able to help you in any way. These past few years have been tough. Even when you and Sui Sui got married, the family couldn't help you like we did with your older brother before."
"This was the eldest son's wife's fault. You don't need to worry about her. Mom will handle it."
"Mom will definitely give you an explanation."
After saying that, Tian Hua looked at Xiao Fen and sighed, "You and the eldest are the least qualified to say that your father and I are biased. Your father and I have helped you with everything we could."
"After the eldest son started working, the family didn't ask him to pay for his meals, nor did they ask him to pay back that money."
"But this is unfair to Yunzhou and his wife; they got nothing."
"Starting this month, the eldest brother will hand over half of his 20 yuan monthly salary to his family until he reaches 300 yuan. This money will be considered compensation for Yunzhou and the others. If you are not willing, then you can return the job. Someone will be willing."
Tian Hua continued, "As for the housework, I helped with their share. We couldn't afford to pay for their dowry, and the wedding was arranged entirely by the couple. In this respect, your father and I owe Yunzhou and Suisui a debt."
"When things get better at home, your dad and I will make up for this part, just like we did when you and your eldest son got married. We'll make up for whatever amount is due."
Xiao Fen panicked immediately.
She instinctively opened her mouth to retort, "No way, that's money my man worked hard to earn, why should we give it to them?"
"Mom, you didn't say any of this back then."
"You can't do this. They're not short of money. It's us who are. We're saving up to have a child."
With a monthly salary of only twenty yuan, if half of it is given away at once, leaving them with only ten yuan, how are they supposed to make a living?
