【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 140 The Impoverished Mother-in-Law in the Period Literature 20

"These cost dozens of dollars, and they're not practical. You can't wear them when you're working in the fields." An Mei waved her hands vigorously to refuse. "A girl from a poor family doesn't even have a dowry. Buying her such expensive clothes is too much of a compliment."

Yun Xi bared her teeth, looking at the astonished salesperson who pulled An Mei aside. She whispered, "You're such a weird person. You keep referring to a poor girl as if your family is some kind of special one. If you look down on her, then don't agree to marry her. Since you've agreed to marry her, why do you always say hurtful things and waste our affection?"

"I really don't understand you. After marrying into the Zhou family, we haven't been bullied by our in-laws. At most, you were bullied by your ex-husband's family, but that was so many years ago. Why do you use such bad things on your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law? Nowadays, the world is developing so fast, and every family is working hard to make money and become rich. Look at the wealthy families, which one of them spends their energy on intrigue?"

"Most fishermen are saving to buy fishing boats. The village chief's family is planning to open a grocery store. Zhou Lingling's family has started a tofu shop. My family is making braised meat. Even those who don't have a recipe will go to the countryside to sell vegetables and eggs, or even go to the village to harvest and resell. There are opportunities for development everywhere, but you can't see them and only focus on your small piece of land. Do you have to wait until my family buys a house and drives a car in the big city before you understand this?"

"Ten or twenty years from now, my children and grandchildren will be living a good life. What about yours? Have you ever thought about this?"

Yun Xi was very disappointed with her family. She also didn't want to help her relatives get rich because it was too troublesome. But the same principle still held true. If her family became rich, all the poor relatives would come to ask for help. Instead of being caught in a dilemma at that time, it would be better to give them a few words. It would not take much effort.

An Mei was stunned, and her old face was full of confusion.

Yun Xi patted her hands. "Look at how many small vendors there are outside, and how many newly opened stores there are. Honestly, these people's savings can easily buy several houses in the county. Why? Because they have vision and seized the opportunity. Opportunities wait for no one. Sister-in-law, whether you can seize it depends on you. I'll pay for the clothes this time, and when our children get married and have a banquet, my family won't give gifts, we'll just go and eat at the banquet."

At this time, for a wedding banquet in the countryside, a few dollars from a village would be enough, and five or ten dollars from close relatives would be enough. Yun Xi buying a few sets of clothes was definitely a sign of her care.

After asking about the sizes, Yun Xi picked out a green floral shirt, a pair of light blue jeans, and a long skirt with a light blue background and pink flowers on it. She also picked out a black suit for her eldest nephew. The salesperson told her that there were some out-of-season clothes that were squeezed out last winter. Yun Xi also picked out two long black down jackets for the newlyweds. She bought a pair of sandals and a pair of small leather shoes for the bride, as her nephew only had one pair of leather shoes. In total, she spent about 60 yuan.

Yun Xi felt it was worth it, so she picked out a few of the most fashionable skirts for her two daughters-in-law to make up a total of 200 yuan. The other party also gave her five pairs of cotton socks, which seemed to be of good quality.

"Here, sister-in-law, take these back with you. I have to go do something. It's getting late."

An Mei said in a daze: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. Be careful on the road."

"Sister-in-law, please come back to your senses. There are many thieves on the street. Don't let them steal your money."

Yun Xi turned and left, not because she was a saint, but because she remembered that during the difficult years of the original owner, her eldest nephew would send a lot of firewood every winter. No matter how unpleasant the words of her uncle and aunt were, the child did not grow up to be a bad person.

They went to the real estate agency and found the salesperson they were familiar with. After running around for more than an hour, they got the house and registered it under Yun Xi's name.

"System, I finally bought a house, haha."

"Yeah, come on host, buy a few more sets and become a landlady in the future."

"no problem."

When we returned to where the tractor was parked, everyone was there. The driver counted the number of people and started the car to go home.

After returning home, Yun Xi saw that the vegetable garden had been hoed and was satisfied.

"Niuniu, come here. Grandma bought you new clothes."

Zhou Fu walked over with his hands behind his back, looked several times, and said disappointedly: "My items are not there?"

"If you want to buy it, go buy it yourself. You have money."

"I don't want to go far away."

Yun Xi gave each of the children two sets of clothes and said, "Try them on to see if they fit. If they are fine, go rinse them. Dadan, wipe your sister's face. Why is there so much snot? It's so dirty. Did she catch a cold?"

Dadan quickly pulled out a lot of toilet paper to wipe the little sister's face, and touched her forehead, "You don't have a fever."

Yun Xi held the child in her arms and asked the system in her mind, "Is this child sick?"

After a quick check, the system replied, "It's just a minor cold, nothing serious. It's from playing in the water. Give the child a hot bath and some ginger tea. He'll be fine."

"Is she playing in the water? Your grandpa isn't watching her. Big Egg, go boil some hot water. I'll give your sister a hot bath. I'll also cut some ginger and make some ginger tea."

Sanni twisted her body and said, "Grandma, I don't eat ginger."

"You're already sick, and you still don't eat ginger. Go take a bath. Did the second and third kids play in the water?"

Erwa quickly betrayed his brother, "He played with Sanni."

Sanwa wanted to slip away when he saw the situation was not right, but Yunxi quickly grabbed the back of his neck and said, "Come here, you still want to run away."

I gave the two kids a bath with hot water, pinched their noses and gave each of them a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. Their runny noses were gone, and the matter was over.

"You should pay more attention to them in the future. No matter how hot it is, you can't play in the water all the time. Go wash clothes." Yun Xi waved her hand, "Dad, you cook tonight and I'll take a rest."

Zhou Fu knew he was in the wrong and quickly went into the kitchen.

Journey to the West was being played on TV. Yun Xi had watched it countless times, but she still found it interesting and enjoyed it very much.

"Xun Goku."

Sanwa pointed at the TV.

Sanni raised a finger to correct him, "It's Sun Wukong."

Sanwa looked at the TV and said, "That's right, Xun Wukong."

"What's that accent, grandson, grandson, grandson." Niu Niu picked up her brother and corrected him.

giggle~

The children were making a fuss on the sofa, and Yun Xi watched with a smile.

More than half an hour later, Zhou Fu called out from the kitchen, "It's time to eat. Dinner is tomato and egg noodles."

"You can also make noodles, not bad."

"That's not how I know how to make it. Xiaobei gave it to me. His eldest daughter learned it from her classmate's family." Zhou Fu held a bowl of noodles and slurped it up, enjoying the delicious taste.

"Please put it this way. I saw that the county had those plastic barrels for squeezing noodles. You just put the dough in and squeeze it out. I thought it was too troublesome, so I didn't buy one." Yun Xi was eating noodles and felt that she should buy one. The noodles were very chewy.
