Chapter 438 Contradictions
Li Juhua came in with a meal and said angrily: "What can you buy with your meat tickets? It's not enough to stuff your teeth. I'll save up for a few months and buy more meat to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Xiang Qin couldn't stand listening anymore, and her past pampering temper suddenly came out, "Mom, Qianjin has eight taels of meat stamps every month, plus my half a catty, we have more than one catty of meat every month, why is it not enough?"
There is a gap between your teeth? Is the gap between your teeth so big that even a pound of meat can’t fit inside it?”
As soon as these words came out, Li Juhua and Mi Jinjin were stunned. None of them expected that Xiang Qin's reaction would be so big and her words would be so unpleasant. Judging from what she said, it was the attitude a junior should have towards their elders.
?
"You..." Li Juhua came back to her senses, unspeakable grievances welling up in her heart, causing her eyes to turn red, "How could you say that to me? I am also your mother-in-law after all. I save
Who are these meat tickets for?"
"Isn't it all for you? You will have a baby in a few months. If you don't save some meat tickets now, you will be drunk when you give birth, right?"
"I...I, tell me what you have to say." Xiang Qin glanced at the dark-faced Mi Qianjin and whispered guiltily: "How do I know you mean well if you don't tell me? Isn't this how misunderstandings happen?
Yes, you can’t blame me for that.”
Li Juhua wiped her tears, wiped her nose, and said in a tearful voice: "I'm telling you directly because I don't want you to have a psychological burden. If I told you, would you have the nerve to watch us eat bran every day?"
"I..." Xiang Qin was speechless and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She knew that she was in the wrong. She didn't know how to persuade her, so she pushed the rice next to her and said, "Qianjin,
Just say something and persuade your mother to stop crying."
Li Juhua cried even louder before Mi Qianjin could speak.
Xiang Qin was even more flustered and a little at a loss, "Mom, please stop crying. The worst is the worst. From now on, you will be able to arrange everything at home. I won't talk too much, okay?"
Mi Qianjin had a headache. He came home from work all day long and had no delicious food. He also had to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. "Mom, don't be sad. Qinqin said something but didn't mean it. She didn't mean it. Please forgive her this time."
From an angle where no one could see, the corners of Li Juhua's mouth slightly raised in triumph. After saying this, she sobbed and stopped crying.
However, Xiang Qin's face turned black after eating the next dinner. The pickles were as bad as those sold by salt sellers. The water spinach was fried for too long and had little oil. It tasted as rough as chewing leaves.
Is this really how people live?
Xiang Qin seriously doubted that he went to work every day with a big belly to make money just so that he could have a dinner like pig food when he came back at night?
Lying in bed at night, Xiang Qin still had a dark face and a frown. Anyone with eyes could see that she was unhappy.
Mi Qian came back from the shower and closed the door, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiang Qin covered his stomach and said pitifully: "Tonight is the same as in the morning. I haven't eaten enough, and your son is even more hungry."
well!
Mi Qianqian lay down on the bed and frowned to comfort her, "Just bear with it. I'll take you to a state-owned hotel for breakfast tomorrow morning. We won't eat at home, okay?"
Xiang Qin endured hunger and confirmed with a painful expression, "Is this what you said?"
"I said so."
Not only did she not have enough to eat tonight, even Mi Qianjin himself didn't have enough to eat. His cooking skills were so poor that the food he cooked was not suitable for human consumption at all.
In order to save my stomach from the pain, I'd better go to a restaurant to eat tomorrow morning.
"Let me tell you, starting a new fire at home is just a waste of food. The meals cooked every day cannot be eaten at all. It's too unpalatable." Xiang Qin told the truth.
But when it entered Mi Qianjin's ears, it felt a bit harsh and made me feel slightly uncomfortable. Maybe I could dislike Li Juhua, but others couldn't. After all, Li Juhua was also the biological mother who gave birth to and raised him.
"If you don't let her fire, can you still take her to restaurants every day, or can you take her to your in-law's house to eat and drink?"
"..." Xiang Qin was silenced once again tonight.
She said that she should not have brought her mother to the city, but should have allowed her to live in the country. Anyway, she had lived in the country all her life.
How can you get used to being suddenly brought to city life?
Not only Li Juhua was not used to it, but Xiang Qin was also very unaccustomed to having an extra person in the family.
When she got up the next day, Xiang Qin had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, yawned repeatedly, and followed Mi Qian to work.
After breakfast at the hotel, she rushed to work. Her colleagues were all concerned about her and asked her what was going on.
To her colleagues in other departments, she just laughed it off, but to her colleagues in the same office, she began to complain about the torture she suffered every day.
"If you let me eat such a meal again, I will definitely be driven crazy!"
Gao Lili, a colleague in the same department, said unfairly: "You have to go to work every day, and now you are pregnant. How can you eat that kind of food every day? Don't destroy your body by then, or you will lose more than you gain."
"Otherwise, you can go back to your parents' house for dinner and have breakfast outside."
Many colleagues helped me with ideas.
"You can continue to do this for a day or two, ten days and a half, but if you eat like this for a long time, you will have to eat up your salary. This matter will not last long, and you still have to find a way to solve it once and for all."
"How about you go home from get off work every day and cook your own meals?"
Gao Lili slapped the colleague and scolded her with a smile: "You have a bad idea. Our Qinqin has been the apple of the Xiang family's eyes since she was a child. She has never been involved in the kitchen since she was a child. How can she cook?"
The colleague smiled and sat aside without saying a word.
Xiang Qin irritably buried her head on her desk and wailed in a muffled voice: "I never knew that married life would be like this before. If I had known what it would be like today, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to get married."
Think about it, before I got married, I could hang out with my colleagues and friends on weekends, and I could use the monthly salary as I wanted, and I never had to worry about family expenses.
Now, when you get married, in addition to having children for your man, you also have to make money to support the family. You can’t spend the money you earn as you please, and you can’t eat the meat tickets you earn as much as you want. Why does Laozi have to have confinement meals months in advance?
Save money on food and clothing!
When I think about it, I really feel that after getting married, she will be in a panic!
When she got off work in the afternoon, she was a little afraid of going home. She used to look forward to Mi Qian coming to pick her up from get off work, but now she felt a little subtle, and she was actually afraid of his appearance!
It’s over, it’s over!
Can they last in this marriage until they grow old together?
"Qinqin, after get off work, why are you still sitting there in a daze?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xiang Qin was startled, "Ah...! Go forward, you, you are here, please wait for me for a while, I, I will clear the table."
Mi Qianjin noticed that she was absent-minded and asked with concern: "What happened to you today?"
"It's nothing, I just got a little lost in thought." Xiang Qin packed up the office, picked up her bag, and locked the office.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Go forward, can we go back to my mother's house for dinner today?"
When Mi Qian looked over, she lowered her head and added, "I haven't seen my mother in many days. I miss her a little."
