The aunt's scolding was like water droplets sprayed out from a small water gun. At this moment, the whole house became quiet during the Chinese New Year.
She was tired of talking, and now she smoothed her chest again. Her husband Zhou Lei beside her quickly and considerately handed her a glass of water.
The aunt drank all the water in one gulp, and then said to her husband with a heartbroken look on her face:
"Old Zhou, tell me why I found such a sister-in-law!"
Bai Xiujuan's face turned red and white.
Lao Zhou thought to himself: This is not your sister-in-law’s problem alone!
But he knew Ding Liping's temperament, and it definitely had nothing to do with the old Ding family. She could tell her shortcomings, but others couldn't, so he nodded seriously, knowing how to avoid the important and take the easy: "Yeah, why is Weiwei so bad?"
With such a father and mother."
After all, my uncle Zhou Lei was a leader of a certain age. At this moment, he turned his hands behind his back with great style. He turned around and fired artillery fire at Bai Xiujuan and Ding Haiyang:
"Is your eldest sister right?"
"Ocean, you are a man and you can't worry about everything at home. It's okay to want a son, but you can't fool your daughter into this just because you want a son."
Over the years, his eldest uncle has been the best in Lao Ding's family, and he knows all kinds of people. Thinking about the work of so many people in this family, his eldest uncle also contributed a lot.
Because of this, when it comes to education, it comes right away without any stumbling.
"I heard what you just said, why do you still think that my daughter is not considerate and filial enough?"
"What's the matter? I think my daughter has bad taste and is reluctant to give up money, so she brought you two some crooked clothes?"
"Let me tell you, Weiwei's only bad thing is that she doesn't feel comfortable spending money. Can I not keep track of how much you two earn each month?"
So, the eldest uncle looks down on his wife’s brother and sister-in-law!
It was like he was instructing his little secretary: "This way, I make the decision."
"In the future, Weiwei will come back every semester and bring a new piece of clothing for each of you. This time, we definitely can't have such crooked clothes. But when your children go to college, you can't let others look at you through the cracks in the door, right?
?”
"When Weiwei starts school, she will have 800 yuan a month for living expenses, so that's it."
"If Weiwei can't buy clothes this summer, I'll scold her for you when she comes back."
well.
Liping, the younger brother, is not good at anything, but he raises a daughter. It is really a bad thing that makes good things happen.
For a girl like Weiwei who is able to endure hardships, work hard and has a strong mind, and is so filial, if she were his daughter, he would be able to coax her every day.
It happened that this family was celebrating the Chinese New Year, and their parents didn't even buy new clothes for their children. They were still going out to visit relatives, so I wonder how much grievances I had suffered at home.
My uncle Zhou Lei has also experienced this. He knows that abusing a child is not just about beating and scolding. Only when these little things are piled up can one be called a disgusting person.
At this moment, he also used his brother-in-law's authority and decided to set a living expense of 800 yuan. After hearing this, the aunt felt satisfied from the corners of her eyes.
However, just as she was about to say something, Bai Xiujuan retorted weakly:
"Sister, Brother Zhou, 800 a month is really too much..."
How much money does the family have? Even if it is a little, doesn’t it have to be saved for future retirement? After all, there is no guarantee for raising a daughter.
It is precisely because of this idea that even if Bai Xiujuan is scolded bloody, she still has to refute.
At this moment, she could feel the eyes of all the relatives in the living room focused on her, which made her face feel hot, but when she saw Ding Haiyang's expression, she gained courage again.
"Brother Zhou, Haiyang and I only have a salary of 6,000 yuan a month plus one yuan a month. For daily necessities, personal relationships, water, electricity and gas at home, and Weiwei's school money and living expenses... 800 a month,
It’s really stressful. Other kids in our community can go to college for 600 a month.”
Auntie breathed out in her chest.
He really committed a sin in his previous life, allowing such a woman to enter the door of his house!
It just so happened that she didn't use her full fighting power in that wave just now, and she always felt empty inside.
At this moment, he opened his mouth and sneered: "Your community? Other children? You are so capable and good at competition. There are people in the community who pick up rags to earn tuition for their children. Why don't you go?"
Bai Xiujuan:......!
"No, eldest sister, the household expenses are really quite high..."
At this moment, she seemed to have some resistance after being scolded repeatedly, but after all, her fighting power was only so small. At this moment, she almost shrank into a ball, and she didn't dare to raise her head when she said this.
These words were spoken one after another, and it sounded like sparks were flying through the soles of my aunt's feet.
Just as he was about to scold her again, he heard Ding Wei's sister-in-law Ding Limei retort weakly:
"Sister-in-law, 20 yuan a month for water, electricity, and coal is enough at home. You can't go so far as a favor, right? 1,000 yuan for two people together is enough. A hundred yuan a month is definitely enough for daily expenses. Rice and noodles
Aren’t we giving grain and oil to all units?”
My sister-in-law, Ding Limei, and her husband are both able to save and earn money.
Otherwise, the couple cannot drive a taxi and work in the same company, and then earn money to send their daughter to study abroad for many years!
Therefore, it is said that 6,000 yuan a month is not enough for the couple. For them who are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in the summer, it is really intolerable.
——This is obviously a waste of money!
Don’t worry, Ding Limei is quite confident when it comes to saving money.
She is a sister and a sister-in-law, and has 100 pages of housekeeping experience to impart. They are all related by blood, so there must be no secrets.
…
Ding Haiyang's face turned dark.
It was also the first time that he discovered, why is this girl so unable to speak? Can every family have the same conditions?
But the eldest aunt had the upper hand, and after being brought out by her aunt, he was actually more timid than Bai Xiujuan. At this moment, feeling the eldest sister's burning gaze, his buttocks were numb and he did not dare to lift them.
The aunt sneered.
"Mei Zi, don't do the math for them. Look at your sister-in-law's clothes. They cost more than 500."
"This family doesn't owe money, and we don't have big expenses, so why don't we have to go out of our way to take care of ourselves?"
"We, Weiwei, are too honest. If our father had dared to treat us so badly a few decades ago, I would have dug up his house with a hoe."
Bai Xiujuan's face turned red.
It was hard for her to deal with an eldest aunt, let alone her second aunt who also entered the battlefield.
Therefore, she usually doesn't take this silent second aunt seriously, but now everyone is looking at her. At this moment, she quickly emphasized: "It costs a lot of money for children to go to school."
She also felt really aggrieved. What happened to buying a few new clothes for the Chinese New Year? She didn’t know how many clothes she would spend on clothes for her children to go to school.
"Pull him down."
The aunt rolled her eyes unceremoniously.
"Just tell me, where do you spend money on your children's schooling?"
"With nine years of compulsory public schooling, how much does it cost you all year round? You have food and accommodation at home, and you wear uniforms when you go to school. How much does it cost you?"
"And Weiwei, this child, has been able to work hard on her own since she was a child. Apart from enrolling her in an English class when she couldn't keep up with her grades in junior high school, have you ever paid any other extra tutoring money? Then
Haven’t you only been in English class for a month?”
Having said this, the eldest aunt seemed to remember something and turned to ask the second aunt.
"Meizi, if I remember correctly, I paid for Weiwei's class at that time."
Thinking of this old incident, the second aunt Ding Limei also nodded quickly.
"At that time, Haiyang's family just bought a large color TV, and money was a bit tight."
Auntie regrets it now!
"I'm telling you. Then I saw that you were not paying attention to Weiwei. Your children couldn't keep up with their English scores in school. I asked you to sign up for a class. What else did you say that girls are like this? They go to junior high school.
My grades are no longer good, I can’t keep up...poof."
"Look at your poor academic qualifications, can you compare with Weiwei?"
"You are stingy on your own daughter. You two can be considered talents."
The aunt was so angry that she even scolded her younger brother.
…
Today, the old accounts were settled, the financial calculations were made clearly, and the aunt's fighting power was fully expressed. She matched with the child's uncle, and complimented her second aunt...
This, this, this!
Ding Haiyang has almost become invisible.
Bai Xiujuan did not dare to speak out this time. She lowered her head and just wanted to get through this wave first.
However, she hasn't figured it out yet. If someone doesn't like someone, then whatever she does will be displeasing to her.
For example, when Bai Xiujuan retorted before, that was called talking back and speaking forcefully.
If you don't say anything now, you feel guilty.
Of course, in the eyes of the aunt, there is another meaning, that is, she still harbors resentment for preventing the two of them from having a second child.
Good guy!
What is the concept of releasing all 5 lion-head geese?
The whole room echoed with Auntie's roar. If Xuanxuan, the daughter of the Dinghaihu family, hadn't suddenly come out of the toilet, and Auntie didn't want her children to hear it, she would have even scolded her for lunch.
…
While Xuanxuan pretended to be ignorant and wiped her hands, she quietly looked at her uncle and aunt.
——It's too late for the aunt to restrain herself now. The house is not soundproof. She squatted in the toilet for so long that her legs were going numb. Wasn't it just to hear some new gossip?
If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t hold on any longer...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sympathize with Sister Weiwei for three seconds.
Alas, Xuanxuan sighed with vicissitudes of life, "What's the point of studying well? She doesn't get as much living expenses as a junior high school student."
The aunt only belatedly remembered this time that Xuanxuan had not entered the room with her brothers and sisters before going to the bathroom. When she looked again, it was already noon. It was the Chinese New Year... Give them some face, don't let them go.
said.
When the couple re-entered the kitchen, and Bai Xiujuan, who was condemned by everyone this time and was not qualified to show her skills, sat there honestly, the living room became quiet again.
In Zhou Haitao's room, Ding Wei watched the silly boy take down a jelly box from the door with a proud smile on his face.
She looked at the two empty jelly boxes connected by a thread in Zhou Haitao's hand, and couldn't help but sigh:
"As long as you can use the knowledge you learn in this way, it will be useful.
Zhou Haitao's face froze.
"Sister, when I first listened, couldn't you hear it vaguely? Aren't you even curious?"
Ding Wei looked at this silly boy and smiled sweetly:
"Brother Haitao, you can't do this. Students should behave like students. What happens outside has nothing to do with you... Come, let's do two papers."
He was so calm, but Zhou Haitao was not happy about it, and now he was a little anxious:
"Sister, sister, you can't be so stupid! You didn't listen to what my aunt and others were saying!"
He was also a little anxious and walked around the room twice: "What if my mother doesn't keep an eye on them and give you 600 yuan for living expenses next semester?"
Ding Wei was very calm: "600 yuan a month is no problem."
"not to mention……"
Ding Wei looked at her cousin meaningfully: "My main task now is to bring out the smartest and most potential brother Haitao in our family! Come on, write two more papers.
Brother Haitao: No need to...
…
As the same age, the difference between the two siblings is less than one year, so Ding Wei's understanding of Zhou Haitao's psychology is really real.
After all, in their previous life, they contacted each other via WeChat more frequently than the rest of the family. Looking at her unmotivated brother at this moment, Ding Wei sighed:
"Haitao, just accept your fate. Since your mother said this, you must stick to it in all aspects from now on. You have to do the questions you should do, and you have to do the questions you shouldn't do. You might as well take the initiative, anyway.
If you can achieve good results, ask your mother to stop following you."
Zhou Haitao sneered: "Be careful and defend yourself, who is to blame? Who made the suggestion?"
Ding Wei's expression remained unchanged:
"This is what your mother values for your study."
Zhou Haitao took a deep breath, don't mention it, the water and soil of this imperial capital are meant to support people. Look at his cousin who didn't talk much before, but now she talks about great truths.
Although this sounds reasonable, this matter cannot just go by.
After all, so many materials, so many papers, such a strict schedule...are all provided by her, and isn't the down jacket she is wearing the hard-earned money earned by Sister Weiwei while working?
Zhou Haitao finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided not to get along with this woman.
At this moment, he generously handed her the listening device made of two empty jelly boxes in his hand: "There seems to be some discussion about living expenses and the like outside. Let me listen to it."
He was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "Then... you should listen more and have a good idea in your mind so that you can make preparations in advance. If you are really short of money, no matter what, I will give you part of my New Year's money."
It is impossible to give everything, and fashion boys also need their own small treasury.
Ding Wei was extremely moved——
"Haitao, you are truly worthy of being my brother, you are so sensible and considerate."
She lovingly patted the pile of information in her hand:
"You are worthy of the effort I put into preparing these things for you. Take the exam well and be sure to come to the Imperial Capital. Then I will take you with me..."
After thinking for a while, he glanced at the posters in the room and then continued:
"Don't you like that female star Chu Xianxian? To be honest, my roommate's family has a film and television company, and many stars are signed to her company."
"If you come to the Imperial Capital with a higher score, then it won't be a problem to meet and take a photo..."
