The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 126 Family Meeting
Cheng Haiyi called all the brothers and sisters at home together and wanted to have a family meeting as a family.After all, he knows best about his mother's condition.The others did not go to the doctor with her at the beginning, so they did not know the seriousness of the mother's condition.

"Hai Yi! Everyone is here. If you have anything to say, just say it!" It was Cheng's father who spoke. He was sitting on the chair next to him, holding the cigarette pole in his hand. After he finished speaking, he chewed it hard. He took a sip and kept looking at the ground very deeply.He seemed to have foreseen what Cheng Haiyi was going to say. Although Cheng's mother had been comforting him by saying that there was nothing serious about his condition, the couple were the most considerate of them, and he knew best.

Cheng Haiyi looked at his father and then at the people sitting around.Cheng's mother was lying on the bed next to her at this moment, looking a little serious.

In fact, it was Cheng's mother who gave Cheng Haiyi advice and asked him to host this family meeting.In the past, it was Cheng's mother who was in charge of the house, and she was the one who handled and arranged everything in the house.But now her condition does not allow her to continue working, so she wants Cheng Haiyi to have a good discussion with the family to see who is more suitable to take charge of the family.

Cheng Haiyi is a soldier. He is the most educated and promising one in this family, and he also speaks more forcefully.Therefore, everyone generally listens to his words.

The room was very quiet. Everyone was sitting in their seats consciously, waiting for Cheng Haiyi to speak.

Cheng Haiyi cleared his throat and said, "I gathered the whole family together today to hold a family meeting to discuss our mother's condition."

"Isn't our mother very good?" It was the eldest brother who spoke. My mother always said that she was very good, so he thought that her mother was very good.

Cheng Haiyi took out the cases he brought back from the hospital, put them on the table, and said to everyone: "Mom said it was fine, but she didn't want the whole family to worry about her. But for the sake of our mother's physical condition, I have to tell everyone To be honest, the doctor said that my mother’s illness is caused by years of overwork, and her condition is very serious. If she doesn’t cultivate herself well, she may become paralyzed in bed in the future!”

Everyone looked surprised when they heard Cheng Haiyi's words.No wonder she has been lying on the bed since her mother came back from beating her, and has basically never come down.Cheng Haiyi's daughter-in-law always brought cooked meals to Cheng's mother. Everyone originally thought that Bai Meixi had just gotten married and was here to please Cheng's mother. After all, Cheng Haiyi was the most promising person in their village. Being able to marry Cheng Haiyi can be regarded as a blessing that she has cultivated over several lifetimes.Apart from anything else, in this day and age, people tend to listen to their elders. If I don't please my mother-in-law, I'm afraid her status as the third daughter-in-law will be lost.

I don’t know what others are thinking, but at least the second sister-in-law is sure that Bai Meixi has such thoughts.

When Cheng Haiyi said this, the second sister-in-law secretly bit her lower lip and snorted coldly, thinking to herself, she didn't know what kind of wishful thinking the young couple had in mind.Are you saying that your mother's condition is serious?How can anyone with a serious condition still look as strong as an adult?Isn't this a joke?
Everyone seemed to have a bit of doubt on their faces.There were not many literate people in the family, so only the fourth child took the case and looked at it.

Cheng's mother saw everyone's thoughts and said to everyone: "The doctor did say that. The reason why I didn't tell you is to make you feel at ease. If it wasn't a last resort, how could I be willing to spend so much money?" How much money can I use to take medicine? But you have also seen the current situation. I can’t work in the fields, and I can’t run the house anymore.”

When Cheng's mother said these words, everyone understood in an instant that today's understanding was not about discussing mother's illness, but about who would be in charge of the family in the future!

"Where is the doctor's order? We are told to stay in bed from now on. But we are such a big family! There has to be someone who manages the family, right?" Cheng Haiyi continued. He turned his head and glanced at his sister-in-law, who seemed to be using He shouted in a questioning tone: "Sister-in-law?" When the sister-in-law heard Cheng Haiyi calling her name, she waved her hands quickly and said with an embarrassed look: "No, no, no, I can't do it. Third brother, you also know, sister-in-law." I haven't attended school for a day, and I don't know a few Chinese characters. How can I run a business? It's okay to ask me to do some work, but if you ask me to keep accounts and write, I really can't do it. I'm afraid I can't do the accounting. It’s all mixed up.”

Cheng Haiyi thought to himself that this was indeed what his sister-in-law said. The sister-in-law was the least educated in the family. She had never gone to school and could not read a few Chinese characters.

Cheng Haiyi nodded and turned his attention to the second sister-in-law: "Second sister-in-law?"

The second sister-in-law looked at Cheng Haiyi. She had been thinking just now that if Cheng's mother could no longer run the family, she would have to choose someone from the family who could.And smart people all know that whoever is in charge of a family must contribute all the money earned by that family to support the big family.

But in this day and age, is it easy to make a few cents?The second sister-in-law felt very repelled.She smiled and said to Cheng Haiyi: "Third brother, although I am a bit educated, right? But I don't have this ability. When have you ever seen me have great abilities at home? If you leave the business of running the family to me, , I’m afraid it’s going to be a mess.”

Obviously, the second sister-in-law is not willing to do that either.Men are all working outside to earn work points, so where can they find leisure to run a business?What's more, most of the people running the house now are women. After all, there are too many messy things at home, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. These things are not things that men worry about at all.

Apart from the two women, the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, Bai Meixi and the younger sister are the only ones left in the family.However, my little sister is only 15 years old this year. Let a child who has just entered junior high school take charge of the family?This is completely unrealistic.

In that case, there is only Bai Meixi.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they already had the answer in their hearts.In the end, they also set their sights on Bai Meixi.

The second sister-in-law is the shrewdest. She smiled and said to Cheng Haiyi: "Third sister-in-law! My sister-in-law can't read and I don't have the ability, so only your wife and younger sister are left. My younger sister is still in school, so... Can't you be in charge of the family? In this case, your third daughter-in-law is the most suitable candidate. "

"Ever since Xiaomei married into our family, I have seen that she is quite capable and can read and write, and she is so filial to our mother, so I just let Xiaomei take charge of the family! No need to worry about it anymore Make other choices.”

Bai Meixi looked at her second sister-in-law, a smile of success flashed in her eyes. I'm afraid this is something she has been looking forward to for a long time, right?
