The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 308 The second sister-in-law goes to the commune

Bai Meixi's mother-in-law stood in the yard and shouted loudly, as if to cheer up her daughter. Cheng Haili has been busy in the Li family these years, whether it is family affairs or farm work in the fields, she has done everything. She was sure that the Li family would never let go of such a good daughter-in-law. As time went by, and no one took care of the household chores, they would have to beg Cheng Haili to return.

She let Cheng Haili live in peace, and the mother and daughter happened to talk. The eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law, and Bai Meixi all agreed, and they even specially made a bed for Cheng Haili at night.

But for four or five days in a row, no one from Lao Li's family came to pick him up, which changed everyone's mentality.

Especially the second sister-in-law, the family's life is not well-off now. Now with two more mouths, the rice in the bowl for everyone has to be missing several grains. Her attitude towards Cheng Haili gradually cooled down, and she always let her eat every time. Your children should eat quickly, lest there be not enough food in a while.

This subtle change naturally caught the eye of Cheng Haili. Every time she ate, she tried not to pick up the food. Even if Xiu Xiu took two more bites, she would knock the spoon out of her hand and hold her in her arms. Drink rice porridge.

"Sister, let your child eat some scrambled eggs, and don't always eat pickles. They are not nutritious."

Bai Meixi naturally saw Cheng Haili's consideration. Every time she ate, she would cook a small stove for Xiu Xiu to supplement her nutrition. She was too small now and looked not as tall as the two-and-a-half-year-old child next door.

This practice naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the second sister-in-law. Now apart from the third child and the couple, she is the only one making clothes to make money. The eldest sister eats and drinks for free at home.

Now even her own children couldn't eat scrambled eggs, but Xiu Xiu changed her nutrition every day, making her talk every day with a gun and a stick, wishing that Cheng Haili could carry the child back by herself.

"Mom, today the sixth aunt next door asked my eldest sister if she was divorced and why she has been living in her parents' house. What do you think we should answer? It's hard to say that she was beaten by her husband's family. We have three sons in our family. If she was beaten If people find out, they will definitely poke our spines."

During dinner, the second sister-in-law couldn't help but chatter. In this era, a married daughter would be laughed at if she stayed in her parents' house for a long time. Now that Cheng Haili has been back for several days, all kinds of gossip have been circulating in the village. Word spread.

It was said that Haili was divorced from her husband's family because of her unruly behavior.

When the second sister-in-law said these words, she deliberately raised her voice. The sharp voice made Cheng Haili blush from her neck to her ears. Being unruly about women was a serious crime in this era. Being splashed with such dirty water, not only herself was humiliated, but also herself. The whole family will be implicated.

"Whatever they do, just say that I miss Haili and asked her to come live with me and take care of me."

Bai Meixi's mother-in-law took her daughter's side without hesitation. She knocked on the table with her chopsticks, which made the second sister-in-law feel suffocated.There are three daughters-in-law at home and they still ask their daughters to come back to take care of them. Isn’t this a disguised way of saying that the three daughters-in-law are unfilial!
The second sister-in-law was wandering around the village angrily, and unexpectedly heard the news that Jiu Sheng was going to school. At first, everyone was very surprised, and thought that the village chief was making an excuse to let him go to school for free. Later, the village chief personally took out the payment receipt. It was proved that Jiu Sheng had paid enough tuition to enter the commune primary school, which put an end to the argument that the village chief was unfair.

But this incident still caused quite a stir in the village like a bomb. A child who cheated and drank on the street every day actually had the consciousness to go to school, which made the adults in the village start doing things for their children. Plans, including the second sister-in-law to start a family.

She had recently made a lot of money by making clothes for others. Seeing that the family had to support more and more people, she secretly made up her mind to find another way out.

"Mom, you see, Dabao is already seven years old, and he is old enough to go to commune school. I want to send him to the commune primary school. The kid from the ninth grade already knows how to study. We can't let our children be left behind."

The second sister-in-law talked about this topic with everyone during dinner. Bai Meixi's mother-in-law was a little reluctant. The family's expenses are so high now. If she sends another child to school, it will cost not only tuition but also living expenses. Bai Meixi's mother-in-law will undoubtedly give Bai Meixi a lot of money. The My Khe housekeeper adds a lot of burden. "Dabao is only seven years old. Let's go to the hospital next year. This year I have to save some money for my third daughter-in-law to visit relatives. If she gets pregnant, I can have another grandson next year. This is a big deal."

Bai Meixi's mother-in-law refused on the spot, and made the reason very clear. Most of the family's expenses now depend on the allowance given by the third child in the army, so she should naturally take care of matters with the third child's family first.

The second sister-in-law's face became very ugly at that time. She kicked Dabao on the calf, making him burst into tears instantly.

"I don't want it. I want to go to school. They all go to school and there is no one in the village to play with me!"

Dabao heard that the commune was much more fun than the village, and he had wanted to visit it for a long time. Seeing that the children around him who were about the same age had new schoolbags and new clothes, how could he stay at home alone?

Bai Meixi saw what her second sister-in-law meant. She felt that she made more money than used it at home, and felt unbalanced, so she wanted to secure a necessary expense for their small family.

"Mom, I think Dabao should go to school. If he waits until next year, he will have to take the first grade of the children in the same village. Someone will definitely laugh at him then."

Bai Meixi did not agree with the second sister-in-law's idea, but she agreed with education and promised to let Dabao go to school next month. She also found an old dress worn by Lao Wu and asked the second sister-in-law to change it into a style suitable for Dabao.

This incident simply shifted the resources in the public account to the second sister-in-law's family, but the second sister-in-law was not satisfied, and then put forward a second condition, that is, she wanted to live in a commune.

"Mom, the second child works part-time in the commune all year round and doesn't come back very often. Why don't I take Dabao to live there and come back during the holidays so that we can take care of each other and save some money."

With just a few words, the second sister-in-law placed the burden of taking care of her mother-in-law and taking care of the whole family on the eldest sister-in-law and Bai Meixi. This shrewd calculation was naturally obvious to others.

Taking care of the children in school and accompanying her husband are all fake. The second sister-in-law just felt that she could make money now, so she hurriedly wanted to separate and get rid of her sick mother-in-law.

This incident made Bai Meixi's mother-in-law a little embarrassed. She really felt that it was a good thing to reunite the second child's family, but this would make Bai Meixi even harder.

"Mom, let the second sister-in-law go. My eldest sister-in-law and I can take care of the family affairs. Besides, isn't the eldest sister-in-law here too? She can help us a lot."

Bai Meixi's words made it necessary for Cheng Haili to exist at home. This rhetoric made Bai Meixi's mother-in-law immediately agree to the matter.

In this way, Cheng Haili was no longer a girl who was driven back by her husband's family, but a filial daughter who abandoned her own family and rushed back to her parents' family in order to take care of her second sister-in-law's sick mother-in-law.
