290 Eldest Aunt’s Strategy (2)

historical

Before the afternoon arrived, Eldest Aunt brought her husband and son home.

His expression was a little ugly!

Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law’s expression, Grandma Shi asked curiously, “Eldest daughter-in-law, what’s wrong with you?”

Eldest Aunt poured herself a cup of tea and gulped it down.

!!

She put down the teacup and said with red eyes, “Mom, I won’t go back to my in-laws’ house anymore. From now on, I’ll stay at home with you and Dad!”

Grandma Shi looked at her eldest son and grandson in confusion and asked, “Zhiyuan, what’s wrong with your mother?”

Shi Zhiyuan shrugged and pursed his lips. “My uncle wanted my mother to buy a house for him, but my mother rejected him. My good grandparents started to make a fuss. My mother refused, and then my family was chased back by my grandparents.”

When Grandma Shi heard this, her face was filled with heartache as she said, “Eldest daughter-in-law, if you don’t want to go back in the future, then don’t. Just treat this place as your in-laws’ house and my place as your maiden home!” She was referring to the old house she lived in.

“Pfft!” When Eldest Aunt heard this, she immediately laughed and her mood improved.

She said, “Mom, from now on, my in-laws will be my maiden family!”

“Good, good!” Grandma Shi smiled and patted the back of Eldest Aunt’s hand.

Eldest Aunt looked at Gu Qingming and said in embarrassment, “Mingming, fortunately, you didn’t go to my family with me. Otherwise, you would definitely be in a bad mood if you saw some bad things.”

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “Eldest Aunt, your family’s business is your family’s business!”

However, Shi Zhiyuan said angrily, “Mom, grandpa and grandma were too much. Brother-in-law wants to buy a house, what does it have to do with us? They want us to give them a house that costs more than 600,000 dollars! They really know how to take advantage of us!”

However, Shi Lichun’s expression was stern as he said, “Zhiyuan, stop talking about your grandmother’s family. You’re a university student. Don’t be like a gossipy woman!”

Shi Zhiyuan said uncomfortably, “But they’re really too much!”

He did not know how much their family’s savings were, but they should have a few hundred thousand dollars.

However, no matter how much money their family had, they could not give it away just like that.

How did his mother end up with such a family?

When Grandma Shi heard this, she couldn’t say anything.

She comforted her eldest daughter-in-law and said, “If your brother-in-law buys a house, it’s indeed a good thing. If you can help, then help!” The last sentence was directed at her son.

However, Shi Zhiyuan said, “Grandma, my grandmother and uncle don’t want help. They want us to buy them a house in full. Even if we don’t buy it, they want to just give them the house in our county city. Hmph, how shameless are they? How can we give them our family’s money and house as we please!”

“Shut up!” Shi Lichun said coldly, “What’s wrong with your physical body? It doesn’t come from your mouth.”

Shi Zhiyuan pursed his lips!

Chen Qiuxiang said, “Zhiyuan is right. Our family’s money and our house can’t be given away just like that. I still have my sons and grandchildren to support. They’ll definitely buy a house and a car in the future. Even if they’re my family, they’re relatives now. In the past, didn’t I give them a lot of money? Even if it doesn’t add up to 100,000 dollars, it’s at least 80,000 dollars.”

Speaking of such a family, Chen Qiuxiang was also very upset.

She could not break it off. Her family was like blood-sucking bugs that kept sucking blood from her body.

Fortunately, the in-laws she met were a kind and harmonious family. Her in-laws were kind and good people. Otherwise, with her family’s status, her status in her in-laws’ family would be extremely awkward.

Chen Qiuxiang thought for a moment and said, “In the future, I won’t go back to my parents’ house. I’ll just send some gifts over during the New Year!”

Shi Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said, “Mom, even if you don’t go back and hide at home, they will still come looking for you.”

That was the truth.

Chen Qiuxiang said, “So be it. Do you think them coming over will be useful?”

If she was really so easy to manipulate, her in-laws would have been emptied long ago.

Grandma looked at the sky and said with a smile, “Let’s talk about the future later. Everyone will probably be back soon. Let’s start preparing dinner.”

Chen Qiuxiang stood up and said, “Mom, I’ll go. You and Dad rest here. Mingming, what do you want to eat today?”

Gu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “Mom, I want to eat stir-fried eggs!”

Although Eldest Aunt’s culinary skills were not as good as Second Aunt’s, the stir-fried eggs she made tasted really good.

“Alright, I’ll do it!” Eldest Aunt smiled and nodded. Then, she turned around and said to her youngest son, Shi Zhiyuan, “Let’s go to the kitchen to help!”

Shi Zhiyuan nodded and said, “Alright!”

In any case, whoever had the time would do the work at home!

Shi Lichun drank a cup of tea and stood up. “I’ll help too!”

Grandma Shi waved her hand and said, “Go ahead. I’ve already washed and cut all the dishes we’re going to cook today. You guys can just cook them directly!”

It was mainly because her grandmother’s culinary skills were really not good. Other than when she and her grandfather were alone, she would hand it over to her sons and daughters-in-law to cook.

“Alright, I understand!” Shi Lichun nodded and said, “Qiuxiang, Mom has already prepared the dishes. You can chat with Dad, Mom, and Mingming. Zhiyuan and I will cook!”

Chen Qiuxiang nodded and said, “Alright!”

After the father and son left, Grandpa said, “Eldest daughter-in-law, don’t think too much about your family. We all know that you’re a good child. Just like your mother said, if your family really encounters any difficulties, help them if you can.”

It was not that they encouraged their eldest daughter-in-law to help her maternal family, but to women, no matter how bad her maternal family was, the family was still the roots of the past and they were related by blood.

Chen Qiuxiang nodded and said, “Yes, Dad, I understand.”

Gu Qingming did not comment on her aunt’s family.

Chen Qiuxiang looked at Gu Qingming and said with a smile, “Mingming, you and Mom were at home today. Were you just basking in the sun for the entire day?”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “When we were in the village, it was always the scene of daughters returning to their maternal homes. The sound of firecrackers cracking sounded. I still feel that the house is quieter and more leisurely!”

Chen Qiuxiang nodded and said, “It’s indeed like this today. It’ll probably be like this for the next few days. Do you think it’s noisy? I know that it’s very quiet in your big city for the new year.”

Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I wasn’t used to it at first. However, after adapting for two days, I got used to it!”

It was not too noisy during the day, but when the firecrackers sounded at night, she could hide in the space to rest and block out all the sounds outside.

...

“In the past two years, there have been fewer firecrackers since some of them have been controlled. There are also young people who don’t like to set off firecrackers,” Eldest Aunt said. “There are some young people who like to set off fireworks, but these fireworks aren’t set off every day.”
