Chapter 576 What is your temper?
But there was nothing she could do. Liao could only wink at Liao Qing, but Liao Qing just pretended not to see it.
In the end, there was nothing we could do, we couldn't keep dragging people around.
"Okay, I'll come to your door in person another day and talk to your mother. Don't look at your mother's talk, but she's actually a kind-hearted person. I think for Liao Qing's sake, she won't cut off our family's source of livelihood. You guys
It's easy for the young couple. Let's go home and get busy. Take care of your health and don't be too tired."
After Liao's instructions, Xu Jiaojiao naturally responded with a smile.
After talking for a while, Xu Jiaojiao thought that Mrs. Liao was being more considerate and returning the favor.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Liao didn't even mention it, and sent Xu Jiaojiao and his wife out of the door with smiles on their faces as if nothing was wrong.
People from the neighbors came to watch the excitement, but Liao Qing was still carrying the backpack on his back, but it was covered with a piece of cloth to seal it, so that no one could tell whether there was anything inside.
Mrs. Liao even wiped away her tears when she arrived at the end, looking very reluctant to give up.
It wasn't until Xu Jiaojiao and his wife walked far out of the village that Mr. and Mrs. Liao turned around and entered the house.
As soon as she entered the room, Mrs. Liao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and overturned a crude earthen tea bowl on the table under the table.
Fortunately, the earthen tea bowl was resistant to falling and was not broken.
Liao Honghai was also unhappy, "You mother-in-law, what's wrong with you? Weren't you fine just now? The children just left, why are you so angry?"
Mrs. Liao gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of temper am I showing? You saw it just now, your good son, your new wife! Why did I cook such sumptuous dishes to entertain them? Bah! Even if I just went to feed a dog, the dog
They were still wagging their tails at me. After they finished eating, they curled their lips, patted their butts and left. Are they here to come back? Are they here to trouble me?"
"Don't talk about dishes. You have been busy since yesterday. I thought you were busy with a few big dishes. It was just a main dish of pig's feet stewed with soybeans. A few pieces of pig's feet were snatched up by Dabao and Xiaobao. There are also
It’s just a bit of meaty shredded pork in the tofu skin, an egg butt meat, and the rest are vegetarian. I won’t talk about the vegetarian dishes. Three of them are pickles and pickles. What kind of sumptuous banquet is this? Big babies and little babies are used to it too.
It’s so bad that even the guests snatched up all the meat before they started eating. Doesn’t this make the delicate girls think that our family is uneducated and doesn’t know how to raise children?”
Mr. Liao was dissatisfied and said, "Why can't I have good noodles? Is this considered decent in a rural household? Our family can't compare with Lao Xu's family. Lao Xu's family eats big fat meat every day.
, steamed meat, chicken, duck, goose, fish, what kind of industry do they have? What kind of industry do we have? The bacon trotters are what we saved from our mouths during the Chinese New Year. How many times did Dabao and Xiaobao eat meat throughout the year?
It’s not that you are so greedy! If you, the head of the house and the father, had the ability and money to feed the big and little babies meat every day, would they be so greedy? We use the food that our family is reluctant to eat during the Chinese New Year to entertain your precious son and precious wife.
, the way I treat them can be seen from the sun and the moon!"
Liao Honghai lowered his head when he was told, "Okay, let's not talk about the banquet. Let's just say that they brought so many things and you didn't even get a hair back. Mother, if you do this, I, old Liao, will go out.
I can’t even see anyone!”
Ms. Liao yelled, "Old Liao, the day our family gave their son to someone else to be their son-in-law, you already lost your face. Now you think about it! Isn't it a little late? Their old Xu family has a lot of money.
We, Liao Qing, are here to be our son-in-laws. They should bring things back to subsidize us. We are shameless and don’t want our family to get some benefits. What do you think? Return a gift? How much is a good return? They
We have taken so much stuff from our family. Even if our family empties out our wealth, we will not be able to get back so much. We just have to accept it and ask them to take less next time. This exchange of favors is just a false gift. You can give back less.
If you accept what others say, if you don't reply, you will accept what others say anyway. What's the difference? Oh! Did I ask them to bring so many things? Did I shamelessly come to ask for them?"
Liao Honghai and Mr. Liao couldn't make sense, "You...you..."
I can't help but spit it out.
"What am I? Lao Liao, you just saw that I refused your precious new daughter-in-law even though I made such a small request without giving any face to Liao Qing.
The salary is only one or two taels a month. Our family used to live a good life on this one or two taels, but now it’s better and the line is disconnected! She, Xu Jiaojiao, can earn money so much, and Qingxi Xu wine sells so well.
Okay, even a fraction of one or two taels of silver a month is not willing to let us take advantage. Besides, this is not a bargain. This is the salary that our Liao Qing deserves! If the bride comes to the house and is not given face like this, I think it will be a difficult life in the future.
Still to come…”
Liao Honghai remained silent.
He couldn't accept this. He had a son when he was old. Now the eldest son and the little treasure have not grown up, but he is old. He can only rely on the family's land to marry his two children and live a good and prosperous life.
It's difficult.
In the past, I relied on Liao Qing to support the family, so I didn't notice.
Now, as soon as Liao Qing got married, he felt that everything was beyond his capabilities.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he and Liao had the same idea.
If you can do nothing, you will have a steady income of money, and you will eat meat every now and then. In the future, you will have money to buy a wife for Dabao and Xiaobao. Now you have money for Dabao and Xiaobao to go to school...
However, the reality is cruel.
After a long time, he sighed and said, "My dear, we are living a good life now. We have added several acres of land to our family, and it is not impossible for us to make a living. Be more modest and you won't starve to death. I won't give it to Liao Qing in the future."
Sorry, you don't have to go to Lao Xu's house to feel uncomfortable. Liao Qing's household registration has been passed to the ancestral tree of Lao Xu's family. He will no longer be a member of our family. You can only ask Xu Zhang's family to ask for it.
It’s shameless to argue, let’s save our face.”
When Ms. Liao heard the words "Xu Zhang", she felt scared.
However, when I think about the two taels of silver earned every month...
I got brave again.
"Why can't we go and ask for it? Liao Qing is our son, and Liao Qing works for free in their house. What's wrong with getting some wages and money? We can get a son by marrying, but we can't get a son by selling... By the way, you and Liao Qing today
Did you talk about the ancestral genealogy of Lao Xu’s family? Did Lao Xu’s family force him? I mentioned it to Jiaojiao, and she insisted that it was Liao Qing who came up with it. Their family didn’t force him, so I don’t believe it.
