Chapter 159 Conflict
Wen Qing cleaned up the kitchen and returned to her and Zhuang Xien's room. Seeing Zhuang Xien sitting on a chair, she asked, "What happened? Why don't you go wash up?"
Zhuang Xien said embarrassedly, "Xiao Qing, don't be angry." He looked as if he couldn't speak.
Wen Qing asked again: "What's the matter?"
Zhuang Xien said: "My mother borrowed a few clothes from you. She came in a hurry and didn't bring so many clothes. I will buy you new ones on Sunday."
Wen Qing opened her closet and looked at the mess of clothes. Sure enough, several of the new clothes she had recently made were missing.
She said with a half-smile, "Don't say it's a loan, I'm selling it to you. Five pieces of clothing for 800 yuan. I'll buy them myself."
Looking at her open hand, Zhuang Xien took out eight hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and placed them in her hand.
The next day, Zhuang Xien took Zhuang Xiying and Lanhua to the store. I don't know how he told Fang Yuan and Lin Qingyuan that Zhuang Xiying went to the repair department and Lanhua went to the sales floor.
In the evening, Wen Qing came home from get off work. Zhuang's mother took the children out, so Wen Qing cooked first.
During the past half month that the Zhuang family has been here, Wen Qing has been cooking after work.
Wen Qing gave the money and food coupons to Zhuang's father and mother and asked them to buy vegetables and meat during the day, but the two never cooked and always waited for Wen Qing to come home from get off work to cook.
Of course, Wen Qing was also responsible for tidying the room and cleaning.
Zhuang's mother always says that she is too old to have the energy to do things. In fact, people in rural areas have children early, and she is not yet 60 years old this year.
Wen Qing treated them as guests and thought that the host always worked harder, so she didn't bother with them. Zhuang Xien saw that Wen Qing didn't argue and thought that the world was peaceful.
In December, the weather turned cold, and Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien took them to buy winter clothes. The cloth coupons they had were definitely not enough, so they bought clothes that did not require coupons. The five of them spent more than 400 yuan.
When they got home, Zhuang's mother and Lanhua touched their thick clothes and felt secretly happy, thinking that the trip was worthwhile.
On Sunday, Wen Qing went to Erxia Village Winery.
Lanhua said to Zhuang's mother, "Mom, do you know where my sister-in-law went?"
Zhuang's mother said, "I heard he went back to some village? Your brother said so."
Lanhua said: "I heard from a sister-in-law in the store that our eldest sister-in-law has a business in the village and is making a lot of money."
Zhuang's father asked, "What business? Does the boss know?"
Zhuang Xiying said: "He should know, it seems to be selling alcohol."
Zhuang's mother said, "How can she run a business when she has to work? Dad, you have to help her."
Mr. Zhuang nodded in understanding.
After Wen Qing returned home, Zhuang's mother pulled her aside and asked, "Xiao Qing, you and Xien have been married for more than half a year, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet?"
Wen Qing said: "We haven't taken any measures, maybe the time has not come yet."
Wen Qing took out chicken, rabbit and fish from the net bag and said, "I bought these in the village."
This time when she returned to the village, Wen Qing signed a grain purchase contract for the next year with Village Chief Liu. She took out some poultry from the space and gave them to Village Chief Liu, and took the rest home.
Mother Zhuang looked at these things and hurriedly asked Lanhua to slaughter them first.
He then pulled Wen Qing and said with a smile, "Xiao Qing, you are really capable, you are worthy of being a college student."
In the evening, when everyone was having dinner, Zhuang's father talked about rural customs, "In our village, we all emphasize filial piety. When parents are still alive, don't travel far away, and when parents are still alive, don't separate the family. This is the teaching of our ancestors. You brothers and sisters should help each other."
Zhuang Xien smiled and said, "Whoever is unfilial, I will teach him a lesson."
Zhuang's father said, "Boss, I am old, but not too old to move. I have been in Pingjing for a month and have nothing to do at home all day. I am not used to it. Do you think I can go to work?"
Zhuang Xien glanced at Wen Qing, and seeing that she didn't care, he asked, "Dad, what are your plans?"
Father Zhuang said, "I also want to find something to do."
Zhuang Xien said: "Okay, think about what you can do first."
When the father and the mother chatted, Wen Qing usually didn't say a word.
The weather was getting colder. One night, Wen Qing returned home. Zhuang Xiying and Lan Hua surrounded Zhuang's mother with smiles on their faces. Zhuang's mother smiled and looked up and said, "Xiao Qing is off work. Go take a rest first. We'll have dinner when the eldest brother comes home."
Wen Qing went to the kitchen and found that the food was ready. After a while, Zhuang Xien came home and the five of them sat down to eat.
Zhuang's mother said, "Big brother, your brother got his salary today, and he gave me the money when he came back. The two of them together had 50 yuan."
Zhuang Xiying said, "Brother, our parents are here, shouldn't you let them be the head of the family?"
Zhuang Xien was stunned and said, "Hasn't it always been my parents who are in charge?"
Zhuang Xiying said: "You didn't give your salary to your parents."
Zhuang Xien looked at Wen Qing and said, "We give money to our parents every month."
Zhuang's mother rushed to say, "You two should also hand over your wages to the public bank and let us manage it."
Zhuang Xien said: "We have given all our wages to our parents in the past few months. Isn't that enough?"
Father Zhuang coughed and said, "I heard that my daughter-in-law has a liquor business. Why didn't she hand it over?"
Wen Qing looked up at Zhuang Xien, who asked hurriedly, "Who said that?"
Zhuang Xiying said: "I heard it from Sister Lin."
Wen Qing said: "This is my own business and has nothing to do with the banker."
Zhuang's mother immediately jumped up and said, "Old Master's wife, you are not doing this right. You belong to our family, so your business is naturally ours as well."
Wen Qing looked at Zhuang Xien and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhuang Xien said: "Dad, Mom, don't say that, Xiaoqing, don't worry, what's yours is yours."
Zhuang's mother sat down on the sofa, slapping her thighs and crying, "Oh my God, look at this unfilial boy who doesn't listen to his parents. Woo woo woo."
Zhuang Xien was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his mother would also make a scene in Pingjing. He was worried that the neighbors would hear it, so he kept persuading his mother to stop.
Wen Qing put down the bowl, went back to the bedroom, picked up her bag, and pushed her bicycle to leave the hospital.
Zhuang Xien turned around and pulled her. Zhuang's father, Zhuang's younger brother, and Lanhua looked at the two of them motionlessly.
Wen Qing shook off Zhuang Xien, pushed her bicycle quickly out of the yard, got on her bicycle and rode away.
When Zhuang Xien returned home, his mother wiped her nonexistent tears and asked nonchalantly, "Boss, your wife is gone? Why are you so useless? You can't even control a woman."
Zhuang Xien's face was dark. "Dad, Mom, what are you making a fuss about? No matter what era it is, the daughter-in-law's dowry belongs to her. What does it have to do with her husband's family?"
Father Zhuang said angrily, "Really? The people are ours, so the things are naturally ours too."
Zhuang Xien said: "Dad, don't you want me to live a good life?"
Zhuang's mother smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, what should we do with the eldest daughter? Go and persuade her."
"It's not like I didn't give you money, so just leave us alone in the future."
Wen Qing left the house and rode her bike back to Huashuijing Lane. She was very angry. First, she was angry that Zhuang's parents were shameless and wanted to seize their daughter-in-law's property. Second, she was angry that Zhuang Xien did not immediately make his position clear.
It was already late when Wen Qing returned to Huashuijing Lane. Feeling depressed, she had to find something to do.
She entered the space and began to harvest the crops, then plowed the land where the crops had already been harvested, and started breeding. She was busy until half the night before returning to bed to sleep.
The next morning, Zhuang Xian rushed to the Sifeng Industrial Bureau to find her and kept explaining to her that his parents were from the countryside and had traditional ideas and didn't understand city affairs. He also said that he had already made everything clear to his parents and would not interfere in their affairs anymore.
Wen Qing still refused to go back, Zhuang Xien said: "Xiao Qing, I know you are angry, but since they are my parents, don't bother about it.
You calm down first, I will try to send them home as soon as possible."
Wen Qing said to him, "Brother Zhuang, something's going on at the winery, I'm going to go back to Erxia Village and stay for a while."
Seeing that Zhuang Xien did not persuade Wen Qing, Zhuang's father and mother felt a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say anything.
