Brother Wu's first child was also a daughter. According to the policy, he could only have one. But the year before last, Sister Wu, who had been sterilized, suddenly became pregnant. She was originally unable to give birth, but Sister Wu's health became worse after giving birth to her daughter.
Aborting the child may be life-threatening. Brother Wu reported the situation and later asked Wu's father to find connections, so the child stayed.
After giving birth to a son, Wu's mother contributed money and effort, and Sister-in-law Wu was able to sit comfortably during the confinement period and her health was actually better than before.
After the eldest brother Wu gave birth to his second child, only Wu Zhengqing was left without a son among the three brothers. However, if Wu Zhengqing wanted to have a son, he would have to stop working, but this was absolutely impossible.
Sanya had long discovered that Wu's mother favored sons over daughters, but she didn't take it to heart just because they didn't get along too much. But it was obvious during the last visit to relatives that Sanya didn't care if Sanya could make money.
The three brothers were all married and had children, and together with Father Wu and Mother Wu, there were twelve people in total, so they made eight dishes and one soup in the evening, including stewed chicken.
As soon as it was served, Mother Wu put the two chicken legs into an empty bowl and placed them in front of her two grandsons.
Sister-in-law Wu said: "Mom, Xiaobao can't chew the chicken drumsticks yet, give it to Miaomiao!"
Sanya didn't care. The two boys were young, so it was normal for them to take special care. Furthermore, Miaomiao liked chicken wings but was not interested in chicken legs: "Sister-in-law, it's okay. Xiaobao can't eat it. Give the chicken legs to Qianqian."
After saying that, she stood up and prepared to pick up the chicken wings for Miaomiao to eat. She turned over them twice and couldn't find them, so she couldn't help but ask: "Mom, where are the chicken wings?"
Wu Mu said that the chicken wings were chopped into pieces, so just let Miaomiao eat the chicken.
Sanya was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
Miaomiao frowned and said, "Grandma, my brothers each have a chicken leg, and my sister and I should each eat a chicken wing. This is only fair."
Wu Mu said unhappily: "What's fair and unfair? In the past, let alone chicken, I didn't even have to drink chicken soup."
Miaomiao heard Li Guihua mention it many times, saying that she used to be very poor and could only eat a bite of meat during the New Year. He said: "Grandma, the past was the past, and the present is the present. Grandma, it's not fair for you to do this."
Wu's mother was very angry and said loudly: "Zhengqing, please take care of your daughter. She will contradict adults at such a young age, and she will do it again when she grows up..."
Sanya could endure her own grievance, but her daughter could not. She endured her anger and said, "Mom, Miaomiao is just stating the facts, not contradicting you."
Wu Mu slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you accusing me of not leaving a chicken leg for Miaomiao? But a chicken only has two legs, where can I conjure a chicken leg for you?"
"
Seeing her suddenly angry face, Miaomiao was a little scared.
Sanya retorted: "Bo Peng and Wu Bo are the youngest. It's okay for you to give them chicken legs, but why should you chop off the chicken wings instead of leaving them for Miaomiao and Qianqian to eat?"
Mother Wu also had her own considerations in doing this: "This chicken is only over three kilograms. It has lost its feathers and doesn't have much meat. If you keep the chicken legs and wings, there won't be much left."
Wu Zhengqing saw Sanya's face sinking and said hurriedly: "Miaomiao, just forget there are no chicken wings today. Let grandma save them for you tomorrow, okay?"
Miaomiao nodded gently.
Sanya didn't want to argue in front of her daughter, so she suppressed her anger.
In the evening, Wu Zhengqing and his son drank wine and didn't finish until after seven o'clock. Sanya was telling Miaomiao a story in the room when she heard Wu's mother calling her outside.
Sanya thought something happened and went out of the house.
When Wu Mu saw Sanya, she beat her waist and said, "Your father and Zhengqing have finished eating. My waist hurts badly. You can go over and clean it up!"
After Sanya heard this, she went to the restaurant to clean up. But when she got there, she didn't see Sister-in-law Wu and Sister-in-law Wu. She walked out and asked, "Mom, where are Sister-in-law Wu and Second Sister-in-law?"
Mother Wu looked at her for a moment, and then said: "Your elder sister-in-law has to take care of little Bao Teng, and your second sister-in-law can't do anything. Let her do it and add to the chaos."
Sanya doesn't mind doing housework. She has done it since she was a child, but Wu Mu is not willing to treat her differently. Moreover, Tian Shao told her before that if there are many daughters-in-law like the Wu family, don't show off.
If you are too diligent, otherwise all the housework will be hers. Once you get used to it, you will be lazy if you don't do it.
Sanya didn't lose her temper, she just said: "Mom, I also have to take care of Miaomiao, so you have to clean up these bowls and chopsticks."
Before Wu Mu could speak, she turned around and prepared to go back to the house.
Wu Mu was startled, then turned livid: "Why are you so petty? Dabao and Erbao are so young, why do you need to help with more housework?"
Sanya stopped, looked at her and said, "Mom, just because I don't talk about some things doesn't mean I don't understand them. I don't talk about eating them, just because I don't want to make everyone's faces look ugly."
Wu Mu threw the rag on the table and said with a cold face: "When you gave birth to the child, I traveled all the way to Sijiu City to serve you during the confinement period. After the confinement period, it was you who said you could take care of the child well.
I just came back. Now I'm so angry because I just asked Li to clean up the dishes. I want to hear how I wronged you?"
Sanya didn't want to endure it anymore and said: "Last time I brought Miaomiao back, there were so many snacks locked in the cabinet. Did you take any of them for her to eat? You didn't, because you saved these things and sent them to her.
Food for grandson.”
In addition to sending things, Wu's mother also subsidized a lot of money to them. Of course, at first, she only subsidized the second brother Wu, but later when the eldest brother Wu had a son, he also started to subsidize them. They earned the money, and it was up to them how to spend it. Sanya followed
She didn't say anything. But when they came back, they didn't even give her daughter the snacks they ordered, which made Sanya very angry. When they went back that time, she and Wu Zhengqing lost their temper.
A flash of discomfort flashed across Wu Mu's face, but she quickly added: "Your eldest and second brothers all receive dead wages. They are not as profitable as you by opening a store, so I help them more."
Sanya didn't argue with her and said: "The money is yours, you can help whoever you want. However, we are the daughter-in-law of this family, why should I be allowed to work alone?"
Housework can be done but it must be done together. It is impossible to want her to do it alone. She has to compromise. Just like the eldest sister said, hygiene and cooking will be her business from now on.
"Am I not working too?"
Sanya pushed back unceremoniously and said: "Mom, if you don't like me and Miaomiao so much, I can give way. When the time comes, you can choose a good child for Zhengqing, and maybe I can give you another child."
Big fat grandson.”
Obviously, after seeing the daughter she gave birth to, I felt that someone born in the countryside should work more, so I let her do what I wanted.
Wu Mu was shocked when she heard this. When she came to her senses, Sanya had already returned to the house.
