My scumbag sister stole my husband? I'm a scumbag and married my cowardly brother-in-law

The Lunar New Year is celebrated with great ceremony in rural areas. As long as the parents are still alive, the whole family will have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

Wen Wan originally thought that the job of preparing the New Year's Eve dinner would probably fall on her alone, but unexpectedly, Zhang Lan came back on the 29th day of the lunar year.

This can be regarded as the tragedy of rural women in the 1970s. The saying that a daughter once married off is like water spilled is never just talk at that time.

In the eyes of Zhang Lan's family, Zhang Lan is already a member of the Xie family. Staying at her parents' home for the New Year will bring disaster to the family.

This kind of thing was passed down from the older generation. Regardless of whether or not they believed it firmly, just based on the saying "it is better to believe it than not to believe it", Zhang Lan's family would not let her stay at home for the New Year.

After all, going back to my husband's family for the New Year would at most make me lose face and suffer a little humiliation, but compared with causing a disaster to my parents' family, it is nothing.

Even though her parents felt sorry for Zhang Lan, they did not dare to offend their son and daughter-in-law because of her. After all, they would still need their son and daughter-in-law to take care of them in the future. Besides, what if a disaster really happened?

I have to say that Zhang Lan is really a flexible person. Although she made a big fuss when she left and came back in disgrace without anyone picking her up, which was very embarrassing, she was very enthusiastic in getting close to Xie Hu and Feng Yuying as soon as she entered the door.

It was so natural, as if I had just visited my mother's house and returned at the appointed time.

Now that the labor force is back, there is no reason for Xie Hu and Feng Yuying to bring up the past. Xie Hu originally wanted to give her a lecture, but when he saw his second daughter-in-law who was even worse, he swallowed the thought back.

The matter was just passed over without any mention of the black or white.

Even though Zhang Lan came back, Wen Wan did not push all the work of preparing the New Year's Eve dinner to Zhang Lan. Whether it was fair or not was a secondary reason. The main reason was that Zhang Lan was not particular about cooking. She could prepare simple meals, but she was not so good at cooking meat and fish.

Almost every household in the rural area raises pigs and slaughters them during the Chinese New Year. Now there are all kinds of pork parts at home. Xie Changqing also bought mutton and beef.

In short, there are so many delicious things that can be made, and they cannot be ruined by Zhang Lan's simple and rough stew.

Wen Wan was in charge of cooking, and the others helped.

There are busy figures from the kitchen to the yard. Xie Changlin is responsible for picking cabbage, coriander, spinach and other vegetables in his private plot.

Brothers Xie Changshan and Xie Changqing were responsible for cleaning the chickens, ducks, pig's trotters and other things, Zhang Lan was responsible for cutting, and Xie Yuting was responsible for watching from the side.

Xie Hu and Feng Yuying were furious when they saw their three sons being ordered around by Wen Wan like maids in the homes of wealthy landlords.

But there is a saying that goes "It's New Year's Day", so even if the two were furious, they held back and didn't say anything.

Even if you can't get angry, you still have to say a few words.

Xie Hu blew his beard and glared, "Are there no women in the family? A grown man doing this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others if it gets out?"

Feng Yuying also agreed, "Your father is right. Since ancient times, no man has done housework. Otherwise, why would a man marry a wife?"

It was understandable that Xie Hu found it offensive and unbearable to watch. After all, he was also a man, and it was inevitable that he would feel that men were doing women's work and that their authority was being violated.

Wen Wan could also understand why Feng Yuying would speak up for Feng Hu. After all, her son was her own, and she was old at heart, and had received a male-dominated education since childhood.

What was unexpected and incomprehensible was that Zhang Lan, a vested interest group whose work was shared out, actually spoke up.

Zhang Lan came out of the kitchen and said, "That's right, I also think it's inappropriate. It's so cold and the snow hasn't even melted yet, but we're asking the masters to do these jobs. When we worship our ancestors later, they will blame us as wives for not caring for the masters.

Second son’s wife, the work is not much, let’s just do it and let them take a rest!

it's OK? "

Wen Wan thought it made sense and nodded, "Sister-in-law is really considerate and thoughtful.

Since you think it's inappropriate, please do the work, sister-in-law!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Lan couldn't believe her ears, or even her own comprehension. "You mean I should do it alone?"

"Yes!" Wen Wan said sincerely, "Didn't you say there wasn't much work to do?"

Just as she said this, Zhang Lan looked at Xie Hu and Feng Yuying for help. The two old men had never won in the struggle with Wen Wan, and now they really didn't dare to speak.

It's the New Year, and if she fights back, they will either turn against each other or not. If they don't, it would be a loss of authority as a parent. If they do, the second and third children will definitely side with her, and they won't be able to celebrate this New Year. It would be so ridiculous if it gets out.

Now the old couple can only pretend that they didn’t hear or see anything, and let Zhang Lan fend for herself.

These two old guys are really cowards. Zhang Lan said unhappily, "It's not a question of more work or less work. Making New Year's Eve dinner is the job of a daughter-in-law.

You and I are both daughters-in-law of this family, so this job should be done by us.

Apart from anything else, it's so cold, is it appropriate for you to let a few gentlemen soak their hands in cold water to do this?"

The water from the well is warm, and washing clothes won't freeze your hands. Why should women do the same work but men can't? Is the water so sensible that it only freezes men and not women?

That doesn't make sense.

Moreover, Zhang Lan was clearly following the principle that she would not let him off easily even if it meant hurting herself a thousand times. It was purely Chun Chun's way of dragging her into this, and nothing else was involved.

Wen Wan said: "Sister-in-law, if you think it's inappropriate, then do it. Anyway, I think it's quite suitable."

Zhang Lan gritted her teeth in anger, "Today's work must be done by both of us, do you want to do it or not?"

"No!" Wen Wan said without thinking.

“You…” Zhang Lan pointed at her and glared at her for a long time. Feeling that there was nothing she could do, she turned to Xie Hu and Feng Yuying and said, “Dad, Mom, look at her.

Have you ever seen a daughter-in-law who doesn't work? "

Wen Wan said: "Hasn't it been seen now?"

Wen Wan pulled Xie Changqing to the kitchen while saying that. Zhang Lan stomped her feet in anger.

Feng Yuying said, "That's enough. What's there to argue about with just this little bit of work? You're the eldest sister-in-law, so what's wrong with doing more?

Doesn’t she have to cook too?

Okay, let's do it! It's New Year's Day, don't bother with her."

Feng Yuying waved and called Xie Changshan away, "Boss, go with your dad to prepare things for the ancestor worship. Your wife is all that's left here."

The so-called ancestor worship means that on the night of the 30th, every household will prepare some paper money, paper ingots, etc. and burn them on the ancestors' graves.

Calling Xie Changshan in the past was nothing more than folding paper ingots.

Zhang Lan was so angry that she kicked the basin containing the meat, splashing water all over the floor, and her trouser corners and feet were wet.

It turned out that after all this time, she was left to do the work alone. She was really taken advantage of.

Seeing Zhang Lan fighting and thrashing around while doing it, Wen Wan shook her head speechlessly.

This woman is really hopeless. It is obvious that the people who oppressed her are Xie Hu and Feng Yuying, but she cannot see the facts clearly. She does not fight against Xie Hu and Feng Yuying, but always makes things difficult for her.

It seemed that if she could defeat Wen Wan, she would become Xie Hu and Feng Yuying's most beloved daughter-in-law.

He is just like some people in later generations, who think that if they can defeat their colleagues, they will be appreciated by their leaders and reach the peak of their lives, but they don’t know that their boss only treats them as cattle and horses and chess pieces.

Even if you defeat everyone, as long as you can no longer produce value, you will still be ruthlessly eliminated.

This kind of person is really tragic.
