A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

People were cursing inside and outside the house.

The good atmosphere in the Yan family was completely destroyed.

Liu Guifang never repeats herself when she curses people, which is very interesting. When she gets tired of cursing, she stops, takes a break, and then starts cursing again. The neighbors all enjoy listening to her.

The strict father and mother sat in the living room, dejected, and didn't even dare to go out.

Liu Guifang cursed until dark, then ran to Xu Huaiyu's former dormitory to stay for the night, and went to curse again the next morning.

The strict father and mother thought that Liu Guifang was tired of scolding yesterday and would not come today, but they heard her signature scolding again before dawn.

They had no choice but to cover themselves with the quilt and pretend not to hear.

They can pretend not to hear it, but the neighbors can't stand it. Everyone is still sleeping. Wouldn't this disturb others?

Some fierce women stood at the window and shouted: "Auntie, you are disturbing the neighbors, do you know that?"

Of course Liu Guifang did it on purpose; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

"I have no choice. The Yan family won't return my family's betrothal gift. Don't tell me that. You have to find the Yan family. They solved the betrothal gift issue for me. I will leave without saying anything and will not stay any longer."

This is true. If the Yan family had not done anything first, this old woman would not have come to scold them.

The neighbors also had some resentment towards the Yan family.

"Engineer Yan, what's going on in your house? Deal with it quickly. I don't want to hear the noise again tomorrow morning." Someone politely reminded outside.

Of course the strict father heard it.

"Go wake them up and discuss what to do about this," he said to Yan's mother.

The family got up and sat down in the living room without even having time to wash up.

"Xiangdong, Xiangdong's wife, this old woman is cursing nastily outside. If we don't deal with her today, the neighbors will hate us for not doing anything.

You tell me, what should we do about this? We are old, and the family will depend on you in the future." The strict father spoke first.

Yan Xiangdong, the wimp, immediately turned around to look at his wife.

Yan Xiangdong's wife Yao Hongjuan looked at her father in surprise and said, "Dad, our family hasn't been divided yet, so of course it's up to you and mom to make the decision." She wouldn't take care of these trivial matters, which would be a thankless task.

"That sounds nice, but we're the boss. You just can't bear to give up the three-turn, one-ring device you just got!" Yan's mother rolled her eyes at her.

Yao Hongjuan said innocently: "Of course, this is the betrothal gift Xiangdong gave me, I definitely wouldn't be willing to give it to others."

"Did Xiangdong give you that? It was your elder sister-in-law who sold her body for money! How dare you eat this blood-stained steamed bun?

If your family hadn't used the piece of meat in your belly to force you, Lijun wouldn't have come to this point, my poor daughter."

Yao Hongjuan wanted to retort, but seeing that the whole family looked dejected, she kept silent.

What Yan's mother said was the truth. From the sharp words of the old woman outside, she knew that the elder sister-in-law would definitely not have a comfortable life in her husband's house.

There was nothing she could do. She couldn't just lower her status and marry in without asking for anything just because she was pregnant.

People who give away their money will be bullied all their lives. She would rather be thought of as fierce by her in-laws than be the daughter-in-law who is bullied.

The strict father pondered for a moment and said, "There is really no other way. I will discuss with her and return half of the betrothal gift to them. Let's see if she can accept it. What do you think, Boss?"

Yan Xiangdong immediately looked at Yao Hongjuan again.

"Hongjuan, what do you think?"

The strict father and mother gritted their teeth and endured it, feeling disappointed that their son was not as good as theirs. How could they have such a son who was more nagging and indecisive than a woman?

Yao Hongjuan looked at her father in embarrassment: "Dad, you want me to pay half of the betrothal gift? That's not good, right?"

The strict father gnashed his teeth and said, "The family can no longer afford a penny for your marriage.

You take out half of the betrothal gift first to deal with this matter, and I will make up for it later."

Yao Hongjuan is very sensible. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

From the look of it, she knew that it was impossible for her not to bleed today, but she was not someone who would allow herself to be bullied.

"Then Dad, please write me a receipt! I'm afraid you will forget it later." Yao Hongjuan said with a wry smile.

The strict father looked at Yan Xiangdong sternly: "Xiangdong?"

He hoped that his son could say something to stop his daughter-in-law from making this unreasonable request. After all, the betrothal gifts were given by their family, and they had to write a receipt to use the money, which was too much.

But Yan Xiangdong stared at the ground and did not respond, his mind wandering.

The strict father laughed angrily: "Great, great, my good son, you sucked the blood of your parents and sister dry, and you want me, your father, to write you a receipt!"

Yan's mother was also disheartened and suddenly worried about her future. Can such a son provide her with support in her old age?

Finally, the strict father had no choice but to write a note, promising that whatever betrothal gift he took away from them today, he would buy an identical one and return it to them later.

It's really rare for a parent to be like this.

Yao Hongjuan put the receipt away. In fact, she was reluctant to return any of the betrothal gifts, but she knew that if she continued to argue, the Yan family would not be as easy to talk to as before.

Before she got married, she could use the child and Yan Xiangdong's future to threaten the Yan family. Now that their marriage is an established fact, she can no longer threaten them. If she insists on not giving it, the Yan family will have a problem with her and her life will not be happy.

At least she got a receipt, and she will definitely get it back slowly.

Yan's mother went to the kitchen to cook, so out of sight, out of mind.

The strict father straightened his posture, opened the door and let Liu Guifang in.

Seeing that they had given in, Liu Guifang smiled complacently. Huaiyu's method was really useful. Isn't this a compromise?

The strict father said that he could return half of her betrothal gift. This was his final concession, otherwise there would be no room for negotiation.

Before Liu Guifang left, she discussed with her family that she would get at least half of the betrothal gift back, and now her expectations have actually been met.

But she was certainly not satisfied with this.

"You can only keep the radio. The bicycle and sewing machine must be returned to us."

The strict father was in a hurry to go to work and didn't want to talk to her any more: "It's either a bicycle or a sewing machine. Pick one. If you don't want one, forget it. At worst, I'll just give up. It's up to you."

Liu Guifang thought about it and decided that it would be better to get one thing back first. If she pushed the other person into a corner, she would be the one who would suffer. At worst, she could slowly get it back later.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Guifang agreed.

She wanted a sewing machine.

The Xu family has no shortage of bicycles. The eldest son, Xu Huaizhi, has one, and the third son, Xu Huaiyu, also has one. They are more than enough. The only problem is that they have never had a sewing machine. Every time they make clothes, they have to go to other people's houses to use sewing machines, which is inconvenient.

So she chose a sewing machine.

Yao Hongjuan also breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Liu Guifang would ask for the bicycle.

Yan's father has an old and broken bicycle, but Yan Xiangdong doesn't have one. If Liu Guifang is chosen, they will have nothing to ride.

By this calculation, except for the lack of one turn, her dowry actually still has two turns and one ring, which is reasonable.

Yan's father readily agreed and asked Yan Xiangdongdong to move the sewing machine out of his room, gave it to Liu Guifang, and then closed the door to refuse visitors.

Liu Guifang finally found a way to get the sewing machine back to Xujiatun.

The Xu family has now become the number one joke in the village, all because Liu Guifang boasted too much and now she has been slapped in the face.

When everyone saw her moving something back, they all came over to join in the fun.

Liu Guifang stood in the yard and recounted her glorious achievements.

Several old ladies came to flatter him.

Yan Lijun was cooking in the house. When she heard what she said, she didn't believe everything, but she felt relieved. Although they were her biological parents, when she thought about everything that happened yesterday, there was a knot in her heart that she would never get over.

From now on, she will have no support from her parents.

I didn't expect that this old woman would actually bring something back. Well, let them bleed.

Liu Guifang showed off her new sewing machine, feeling very proud.

During the meal, Xu Mingshan asked about the situation and learned about the Yan family's intention. After thinking for a while, Xu Mingshan said, "It would be good if we can get half of it back. So be it! Don't offend them too much. After all, they are the family of the third son's wife."

In fact, if you calculate it this way, what they lost was just a bicycle and a radio, worth less than 200 yuan. After all, they have a new baby in the family, so they don't feel so sad when they think about it this way.

In fact, the loss of money is not what makes them most angry. What makes them most angry is the loss of face, which can never be recovered.

Xu Mingshan has been embarrassed to go out these days.

Xu Huaiyu calmed down and felt that he could accept this result. After all, his wife was a city dweller and a high school graduate, so spending two hundred yuan on the bride price was understandable.

Only Liu Guifang felt uncomfortable cursing, thinking that the Yan family had gotten away with it. However, she also knew that this was the maximum that could be done, so she dared not make any more trouble.

Yan Lijun had been keeping a low profile these past two days, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Since her father-in-law had spoken, it meant the matter was over.

She gently touched her flat belly. The child came just in time and saved her from a lot of trouble.

This matter has basically been exposed.

Yan Lijun officially started her life in the village. She had a wedding leave after getting married, and she took good care of Xu Huaiyu at home for a week.

They should have gone back to their parents' home during this period, but Xu Huaiyu had injured his ankle and naturally could not go. Yan Lijun was alone and did not want to go back either. She was still not over the situation. Her attitude satisfied Liu Guifang and she treated her much better.

Yan Lijun was not used to the life in the village. Although she was busy at home before, her mother was still the one who did the main work at home and she only needed to assist.

After coming to the Xu family, work became her job alone, and no one sympathized with her for being pregnant.

Although the Xu family split up, because Xu Huaiyu was sick and needed someone to take care of him, they naturally had to eat from the same pot. Except for the money, they didn't divide up anything else and they still lived together.

Life in the village is not as convenient as in the city. People in the city use honeycomb coal, while people in the village burn firewood, and she is not comfortable using firewood.

There is tap water in the city, but people in the village still have to fetch water. When the well water is frozen, they have to melt it and use it for cooking. This is too difficult for her small body, especially since she is pregnant. She has to be careful everywhere for fear of slipping.

I heard from Liu Guifang in private that the eldest sister-in-law of the Xu family had a miscarriage because of a slip.

On the day of the wedding, she was so preoccupied with the lawsuit that she didn't notice whether her sister-in-law came or not. However, she did happen to meet Lin Xiaomeng once when she went out.

She thought she was a girl from some family. She was so pretty, with fair skin and tender flesh. She never expected that she was already the mother of a several-year-old child.

Seeing her, she had a natural feeling of inferiority.

The girl from Northeast China has a big frame and heroic features. She looks good, but she can't compare with Lin Xiaomeng.

She didn't know that there was a more beautiful second sister-in-law in the family, and she was destined to be the last one.

However, she felt that although this sister-in-law was pretty, she was very gloomy. There was something strange in her eyes that made people uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was because she was in a bad mood after having a miscarriage, but she seemed difficult to get along with.
