Chapter 2

Sheng Hongqi couldn’t stand to hear these things. He was most annoyed when his mother and daughter-in-law nagged under his nose.

“Okay, it’s settled. Kang Ning and Feng Xiang will go to the countryside, and the canning factory job will be given to Wei Dong.”

Yang Chunling secretly looked at her husband’s face and saw that he looked annoyed.

He coughed lightly.

“My mother’s family came over yesterday to talk about something!”

Yang Chunling didn’t say what happened.

Wang Cuilian saw her daughter-in-law like this and knew there was something else going on. She rolled her eyes and asked:

“If you have anything to say, say it now. This is your man and I am your mother-in-law! We are not outsiders!”

Wang Cuilian was not very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Yang Chunling, but compared with the previous daughter-in-law named Ling Qing, Yang Chunling was an okay daughter-in-law.

Why don’t you like Ling Qing!

It’s because Ling Qing’s mother’s family is so wealthy.

In addition, Ling Qing’s upbringing was obvious, and her every move was different from that of an uneducated rural woman like Wang Cuilian.

Wang Cuilian always felt inferior to her former daughter-in-law Ling Qing. She had this feeling since the moment Ling Qing married into her family.

So Wang Cuilian doesn’t like Ling Qing.

He was even more displeased with Sheng Kangning, the daughter born to Ling Qing!

But Yang Chunling is different. Wang Cuilian can control this daughter-in-law.

Yang Chunling also gives Wang Cuilian five yuan every month.

Add in the two or three yuan her son Sheng Hongqi occasionally gave her as a gift, and all together, old lady Wang Cuilian had seven or eight yuan to spend every month, which was quite a lot.

So Wang Cuilian quite likes Yang Chunling.

Yang Chunling looked at her man Sheng Hongqi and pushed the plate of braised pork towards him.

Sheng Hongqi is her man and the head of the family.

Of course, the best food and drinks at home should be enjoyed by the man.

Next came his son Weidong, then his mother-in-law and eldest daughter Sheng Fengjiao. As for Sheng Kangning and Sheng Fengxiang, it was impossible for them to eat meat.

Anyway, it’s useless to give suggestions to Yang Chunling!

Yang Chunling set an example herself and did not eat meat.

Old lady Wang Cuilian picked up a small piece of pork with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. After chewing it for a while, she raised her eyebrows and quickly picked up a large piece of braised pork and put it into her son’s red flag bowl. She smiled and said:

“Today’s braised pork is very tasty, eat more!”

Yang Chunling was sitting opposite her husband Sheng Hongqi. She saw that Sheng Hongqi had his mouth full of braised pork and took a mouthful of rice. He was eating with such delicious taste!

When Yang Chunling saw this, her eyebrows twitched.

Who doesn’t like to eat meat these days!

Yang Chunling withdrew her gaze and wondered how to talk about Fengxiang.

Fengxiang is her own daughter. Although Yang Chunling said that she would let Fengxiang and Weidong go to the countryside, she must be reluctant to let her second daughter go there. She had already asked her parents to help find a suitable in-law for Fengxiang.

The current policy is that as long as you are married, you don’t have to move to the countryside.

Fengxiang is seventeen years old this year, which makes her a little young to get married, but compared with going to the countryside, getting married definitely has more advantages.

What if I can’t go back to the city in a few years?

When she gets older, she might marry in the countryside.

If that were the case, what hope would her second daughter have in her life? Yang Chunling was even more unwilling to let her daughter Fengxiang feel resentful towards her because of going to the countryside.

Fengxiang is a quiet girl, but she has a lot on her mind.

I received a letter from my mother’s family yesterday.

It is said that there is a young man named Li Dagang, who is 22 years old and works in the post office.

What kind of place is the post office? The welfare benefits are very good. How many people are eyeing young people like this!

Of course, with Li Dagang’s conditions, he should have gotten married long ago. Why hasn’t he gotten married yet? Firstly, Li Dagang is picky and hasn’t met a suitable person in all these years. Secondly, Li Dagang has some problems.

Stuttering when speaking.

Of course, even if the other person stutters, he still has the capital to be chosen. The conditions are there. Not only does Li Dagang have a good job, but his parents also work in the post office.

He is the only son in the family.

A family of three all go to work, and their combined monthly salaries are so great!

When Yang Chunling heard this condition, she was immediately attracted and had already replied to her parents’ letter, agreeing to meet the man.

Let the man’s side decide on a date. If Fengxiang and Li Dagang are attracted to each other, their marriage will be settled first.

Choose an auspicious day to hold the wedding, so that Fengxiang doesn’t have to go to the countryside.

Yang Chunling opened her mouth to talk about Li Dagang.

The eldest daughter, Sheng Fengjiao, pushed the door open and walked in. She twitched her nose and smiled:

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me when you made something delicious?”

Sheng Fengjiao hung the bag in her hand behind the door, sat down next to her mother Yang Chunling, picked up the chopsticks and reached for the braised pork on the plate.

Yang Chunling frowned, raised her hand and patted her eldest daughter on the arm:

“Didn’t you say you’d be back on the weekend?”

After saying that, he pointed towards the room where Sheng Kangning lived:

“Just eat a piece to taste it. This is not made for you. This is made for your sister Kang Ning.”

Sheng Kangning inside the door wanted to laugh after hearing this.

As a stepmother, she can say anything. Does she have any shame?

Give her Sheng Kangning to make braised pork!

Tsk!

When she returned to this home at the age of fifteen, the number of times she had eaten meat could be counted on one finger!

You have the nerve to say that.

Grandma Wang Cuilian kicked Yang Chunling and said, “If you have something to say, say it now!”

Seeing that her eldest granddaughter Sheng Fengjiao’s chopsticks were reaching for the braised pork again, Wang Cuilian stretched out her chopsticks and slapped the back of Sheng Fengjiao’s hand with a loud slap:

“Still eating! Why don’t you leave some for your brother?”

Sheng Feng smiled:

“Didn’t mom say to make this for Kang Ning? Kang Ning can eat it, but I can’t!”

After saying that, he quickly picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

“She’s on a hunger strike! What can she eat? If she wants to eat, she has to eat porridge for two days first!”

Wang Cuilian quickly picked up a few pieces of braised pork for her son Sheng Hongqi, then stood up and took the plate of braised pork away, leaving only one dish on the table.

Stir-fried cabbage!

Sheng Fengjiao pouted:

“Grandma, we finally have meat at home, please let me get another piece!”

Wang Cuilian:

“Eat! Eat! You only know how to eat. You can’t eat anything good in the hospital, but you have to go home and fight with your brother for it! I’ve finished eating. What will Weidong eat when he comes back?”

Wang Cuilian locked the braised pork in the cupboard and came out. After sitting down, she glared at Sheng Fengjiao and picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks.

Looking at his daughter-in-law Yang Chunling, he spoke impatiently:

“What’s going on at your mother’s house? Tell me now!”

Yang Chunling glanced at her eldest daughter. To be honest, she really didn’t want her eldest daughter Sheng Fengjiao to know about Li Dagang’s affair.

Sheng Fengjiao is prettier than the second daughter Sheng Fengxiang. It will be easy for her to find a good partner. She works in a hospital and has access to all kinds of people.

Good job, good looking.

She will definitely marry into a well-off family in the future, but the same cannot be said for the second daughter, Sheng Fengxiang.
