Chapter 465: Eating Fart
Zhou Jingchen was still in the hospital. Zhou's parents came but did not see their son. There was no bullock cart to take them to the hospital to see their son.
They still had a long way to go, and the two were so tired that they didn't want to walk. They didn't miss their son, so it didn't matter if they went a few days later.
In the afternoon, Zhou Jin and Daya came back from playing outside. Shen Xue took her son to her parents-in-law.
"Mom and Dad, this is your little grandson Zhou Jin. Come here, Xiao Jin, these are your grandparents. Call them grandpa and grandma."
Shen Xue often told her son that his grandparents were from Kyoto, had jobs, and had a lot of money.
His grandparents would buy him whatever he wanted to eat. Now that he saw someone, Zhou Jin's eyes rolled around.
He called out obediently, "Grandpa and grandma, you finally came to see Xiao Jin. That's great. Xiao Jin will have grandpa and grandma to protect him from now on."
No matter how much they disliked Zhou Jingchen, he was still their son.
The little baby in front of them was their grandson. Although Zhou's father and mother had stern faces, they did not pull away Zhou Jin who was hugging their legs.
Daya called out timidly, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm Daya." Daya also wanted to hug her grandparents like her younger brother, but after hesitating for a long time she still didn't dare to step forward.
Shen Xue loved Zhou Jin, and all the clothes he wore were good. He didn't roll on the ground today, so his clothes were relatively clean.
He is now well-behaved again, and Zhou's father and mother cannot feel any dislike for the child.
Daya was different. Her clothes were all patched up, and she was skinny, small, and timid. Zhou's father and mother took one look at her and stopped looking at her.
The daughter looks like her mother, so they dislike Shen Xue in their hearts and subconsciously think that this girl is not a good child.
"Grandpa and grandma, are you tired? Xiaojin will give you a back massage."
Zhou Jin clenched his fists and began to massage his grandparents' backs. His little hands pounded them again and again until Zhou Jin's head was covered in sweat.
Shen Xue watched from the side and felt that her in-laws were cruel. Her son was just a child, yet they had the nerve to let her son have his back massaged.
When Wang Fanghong looked at Zhou Jin's face, her fourth son's childhood unconsciously emerged in her mind.
The fourth son also gave her a back massage when he was young, but she liked the first three sons more.
I couldn't feel any affection for my fourth son. At that time, I didn't even treat him well and just thought he was irritating.
In a blink of an eye, she is about to retire, and her eldest grandson will be able to start his own family in two years.
"Xiao Jin, right? Come, have some candy."
Wang Fanghong took out a handful of candies from her pocket and gave them to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin held the candies in both hands and smiled sweetly and cutely.
"Come here, Daya. Grandma gave this to you."
It is one thing that her grandmother does not like Daya, but the two children are twins and she cannot give one to her and not the other.
Daya's originally dim eyes brightened up again when she heard her grandmother say that she would give her candy.
"Thank you grandma."
Before she could get the candy, Zhou Jin, who was standing next to her, put his candy in his pocket and quickly took Daya's candy with both hands.
"Grandma, don't give it to Daya. Daya is a girl. My mother said that girls don't need to eat so well. It's enough for them to stutter and grow up."
Not only did he take the candy, he also pushed Daya. Daya was used to her brother pushing her for no reason. She was pushed down.
She dusted off her hands, patted her butt, and stood up. "Grandma, my brother is right. Daya doesn't have to eat so well. Give all the candy to my brother."
Zhou Jin snorted, "No need for you to give me any candy, all the candies are mine."
Zhou Jin no longer looked as obedient as he had just been. He was now overbearing and rude.
The good impression that Zhou's father and mother had for Zhou Jin also disappeared. It turned out that the children raised by Shen Xue were not any good.
"Grandpa and grandma, is it just candy? Xiaojin also wants to eat biscuits, egg cakes, rock sugar, maltose..."
Zhou Jin was eating candy and counting on his fingers the things he wanted to eat.
"There's only candy, nothing else." He's not satisfied even after being given so much candy. He's just like his mother.
"Shen Xue, please make something delicious tonight. Your father and I are tired and need to replenish our bodies."
Shen Xue stretched out her hand, "Mom, there's nothing to eat at home. Give me some money, and I'll go out and exchange it for flour and eggs. I'll come back and make egg pancakes for you and dad, and some dumplings."
Wang Fanghong was feeling angry. She didn't want to give the money. If she didn't give it to Shen Xue, she would cook wild vegetable soup for them without even adding salt. They really couldn't stand it.
He took out fifty cents and said, "Go ahead, buy some more things."
It's only fifty cents, which can only be exchanged for two eggs, but her mother-in-law asked her to exchange for more things. What a joke.
"Mom, fifty cents can only buy one egg. One egg is not even enough for Xiaojin to eat."
Wang Fanghong took out another fifty cents from her pocket, "One dollar is enough, right?"
Things in the countryside are not valuable, so there is no need for so much money. Shen Xue just wanted to find a way to get money from her pocket.
"Just barely enough."
Shen Xue came back soon after going out, carrying half a pound of flour and two eggs.
There were no dumplings. Her mother-in-law only gave her such little money, and she still wanted to eat dumplings? What the hell.
Seeing that her mother-in-law gave her money, Shen Xue made egg pancakes, but only five.
There were five thin and small egg pancakes. Shen Xue had one, Zhou's father and mother had one each, Daya had half one, and Zhou Jin had one and a half. They were gone after just two bites.
"Shen Xue, you're not just going to make these pancakes, are you?"
"Mom, the countryside is not like the city. In the countryside, you have to be careful with your budget so that you can live longer.
It’s good enough to have an egg pancake tonight, we usually eat steamed bread with wild vegetables.”
Wang Fanghong: "..."
"I'm going to bed. Where will your dad and I sleep tonight?"
Shen Xue pointed at the kang and said, "We only have one room at home. We'll have to ask our parents to squeeze in with us tonight."
The kang is big enough for three adults and two children to sleep on without being crowded together.
In order to save firewood in winter, the whole family basically squeezes together and sleeps like this, so no one is surprised.
Zhou's father and mother couldn't accept it. They had only met Shen Xue a few times.
They hated her in their hearts, and they couldn't sleep on the same kang with her.
"It would be fine if it was just me, but we are all lesbians, and don't we have your dad too?
It's not appropriate for everyone to sleep on the same kang, why don't you take the children out and find a place to sleep together."
Shen Xue thought about it seriously and agreed, "It's not appropriate. In that case, Dad, you should sleep in the pigsty tonight."
Father Zhou, Mother Zhou...
The two of them took several deep breaths together before they could hold back their anger. "Forget it, we'll just make do with it. We're not strangers after all."
Old woman, you let her husband sleep in the pigsty and now he knows that he is not a stranger anymore. Yet you still want to act like your parents-in-law in her house. Isn't this a joke?
Zhou's father and mother thought that Shen Xue was being unreasonable when they came here.
We will also treat them with some courtesy, after all, they are my parents-in-law and our elders.
Who would have thought that Shen Xue didn't even put on a show and her words were so irritating.
