Chapter 34: Zhaodi Does Not Support Her Brother (3)
A week later.
Meng Chunling was almost exhausted from doing housework, and she didn't even wait for Laowu to come back.
Could it be that he really made money? But why didn’t he tell his family about it? How unfilial.
Still studying, studying to death, Meng Chunling kept complaining, and when she saw Lao Liu coming in, she said, "You must not learn from your fifth sister, you are so stubborn, look at how many girls in our Dahe Village are in high school and college."
Xu Niandi rolled her eyes.
There is no other family like hers, where the girl has been doing this all her life just to give birth to a son.
Make your daughter a slave to your son.
"Did you hear me? I see that your grades are not as good as Zhaodi's. You might as well stop studying and concentrate on doing housework at home. Then you can have a good reputation and get married in the future." Meng Chunling kept mumbling as soon as she opened her mouth.
Xu Nian Di yelled at her unhappily, "No, I won't. I want to go to college and work in a building like the girls in the TV series."
"You have great ambition." Meng Chunling praised him, but her face had a sarcastic look on her face.
She snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, our family is limited and can only afford to support you to finish junior high school. If you want to go to high school, you have to earn your own tuition."
Xu Niandi: "Earn it yourself, it's not like I can't earn it."
She had seen on TV that one could make money by picking up garbage in big cities.
During the long winter and summer vacations every year, she would go to big cities to try her luck.
Meng Chunling was so angry that she was lying on her back. All of them were disobedient. No wonder people often say that daughters are money-losing goods.
She took a deep breath and said, "Go to the county town to look for your fifth sister and see how she is doing. Why hasn't she come back yet?"
"The county town is so big, how would I know where my fifth sister is?" Xu Niandi rolled her eyes and went back to her room angrily. She said that they would support her to go to junior high school. Didn't she know that junior high school was compulsory education and didn't cost the family any money?
The village even provided subsidies to allow her and her sister to go to school.
She heard her mother, who had just been sarcastic to her outside, now speaking to her brother in a gentle manner.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted to run away from home. Why? It was just a few pounds of extra flesh. She would do it to herself sooner or later.
In the kitchen, Xu Baojun finished eating the roast duck, wiped the oil off his mouth, and went out to play again.
Meng Chunling glanced at the time. Her husband should be back from playing cards, so it was time to cook.
She thought about it and decided to steam some rice and prepare two cold dishes. She hadn't cooked for such a long time, and if the food wasn't tasty, her man would be disgusted.
As soon as he finished cooking, Xu Daguo came in with his hands behind his back. He walked around the house and asked, "Is Zhaodi not back yet?"
Meng Chunling hummed, "It's been a week. I'm thinking of going to the county town to look for him, otherwise I'll be worried."
"Then you go look for her tomorrow and take the opportunity to persuade her. It doesn't matter if a girl goes to high school. She will get married sooner or later." Xu Daguo said, lighting a cigarette.
He saw that the houses in his family were built when his parents were alive. They were old and in a dilapidated state. When the eldest and second daughters got married, he would use their dowry money to build houses for the family.
The fifth brother’s betrothal money is used to support Baojun’s college education, while the sixth brother’s betrothal money is used to help Baojun find a wife.
It would be great if he could find the third and fourth sons. He would have two more betrothal gifts in his hands, and he wouldn't have to worry about his sons and daughters-in-law being unfilial to him.
Before going to bed at night, he said to his wife: "You don't have anything to do, so don't sit idle. Go look for the third and fourth daughters. They are old enough to be recognized now."
Meng Chunling was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "Okay, I'll remember that. I miss them a little bit, too."
Xu Niandi, who was eavesdropping outside the window, rolled her eyes. Her parents were so shameless. They raised the child and yet they were thinking of adopting him.
Curse them, they can’t find it, ...…
