"Sister Yanyan, how do you feel about your life after marriage?" Faced with Zhou Chuyan's urging for marriage, Zhao Xiaojing could see Zhou Chuyan scolding her brother-in-law Sun Junwei for trivial matters in front of her countless times.

"Very good! I have found an outlet for my emotions. My temper is much better now. You see, I get along peacefully with you, my family, and my friends now. I don't lose my temper with you all the time, right?"

Zhou Chuyan answered without hesitation.

"Then why do you always scold your brother-in-law?" Zhao Xiaojing was surprised by the answer. She thought Zhou Chuyan was dissatisfied with her marriage because she scolded him every day.

"If I don't scold him, who else can I scold? You don't know the stupid things he does every day! He can't even take care of himself. Now he can't even change his socks..."

Zhou Chuyan kept muttering and complaining, and Zhao Xiaojing was secretly worried about her.

At the end of the previous life, I heard Dong Mei say several times that Zhou Chuyan and his wife were living a marriage of convenience, because Zhou Chuyan had a bad temper and never restrained herself, and in the end the couple divorced because of her scolding.

But Dong Mei herself didn't talk much and didn't say many specific things. Later, Zhao Xiaojing died early, and no one knew what happened to them in the end.

"Sister Yanyan, actually my brother-in-law is quite nice, he is humorous and can make money. He doesn't say anything even if you scold him so harshly. But you can't scold him all the time. Even if a person has a good temper, it will hurt their feelings if they are scolded every day. Why don't you try another method?

What you said about throwing socks around is a problem, but it's not a serious problem. You can't solve the problem by scolding him, because you still have to wash his socks in the end. You actually did the work, but if you scolded him harshly, he would not remember your kindness. You might as well talk to him properly..."

Zhao Xiaojing tried to persuade.

"What's the point of me talking to him nicely! Why doesn't he just do it himself? Why are you like my mom? Last time, my mom said that I don't have a job, don't cook at home, and order takeout every day! Why should I cook every day for him to come home and eat? I don't want to be a housewife. If he doesn't cook, we can just order takeout together!

I scolded him because I really couldn't stand it. If it were you, would you tolerate such a stupid person? I just couldn't tolerate it. I couldn't tolerate him for even a second! I had to scold him. If I didn't scold him, he wouldn't even know his last name! "

Zhou Chuyan was persuaded by Zhao Xiaojing to start speaking passionately on the microphone. Dong Mei, who had just finished cooking, opened the door and came out of the kitchen.

"Then do you know your last name? You played around for five or six years before and after marriage, never went to work, and have no social security or medical insurance! I asked you to find a job but you didn't. You just wanted to make your parents worry. Look at what you are like. You don't even have a pension when you get old! I paid for your education for so many years and you studied for nothing? You couldn't take care of the family, so you just scolded Sun Junwei. You didn't look for a job, and you didn't want to work when you got married. You didn't work to earn a penny before and after marriage! You are not as good as Xiaojing. Xiaojing knows to find a job and earn money by herself! If you are not a social parasite, what are you?"

Dong Mei held the plate and started cursing at Zhou Chuyan. When the two sisters saw that the barrel of explosives was lit again, they lowered their heads and packed the quails.

……

The Mid-Autumn Festival lunch, which should have been a happy meal for the family reunion, ended as Zhao Xiaojing had expected with the food tasted bland.

With Zhou Chuyan as a negative example, Zhao Xiaojing was scolded less often, but Dong Mei's similar suppressive rhetoric and low pressure continued during lunch, and even the three-year-old Hanhan didn't dare to say a word.

However, Zhao Xiaojing can understand Dong Mei's anxiety. Zhou Chuyan has only worked for less than three months since graduation. When she was dating Sun Junwei, she told her family that she was going to work in Sichuan. In fact, Sun Junwei was in Sichuan at the time, and she just went there to live with him and play all day, and Sun Junwei paid for all the food and drinks.

Because she had not worked for long, Zhou Chuyan had no basic social security and medical insurance, and the whole family depended on Sun Junwei for support.

According to Dong Mei, Zhou Chuyan is a very stupid girl. She doesn't work and doesn't earn money. She relies on others to support her. She has a bad temper and wants to support her. It's a miracle that Sun Junwei can tolerate it. If Sun Junwei quits supporting her one day, then what will she do?

Zhou Chuyan also has a hot-tempered and strong personality. Before she got married, she was suppressed by her strong parents and she was able to hold herself back. After she got married, her parents rarely disciplined her anymore, and her suppressed temper began to vent like a flood that had burst its dam.

The time Zhao Xiaojing felt Zhou Chuyan's temper most deeply was when Sun Junwei was driving.

That time they also had dinner at Dong Mei's house. It was getting late, so Sun Junwei and Zhou Chuyan sent her home together. Sun Junwei drove and Zhou Chuyan sat in the passenger seat. Zhou Chuyan kept talking the whole way.

"Drive to the left! Can't you see there's someone on the right?"

"Honk! There's an electric car ahead. Honk, can you hear me?"

"Why do you install it on your car if you don't need the horn? Can't you see so many people in front of you?"

"Drive right! There's a car on the left, we might hit it!"

"I told you to turn right, but you didn't hear me? You are not good at anything and you won't listen to me!"

Sun Junwei didn't say a word throughout the whole road, he just drove silently, and when Zhou Chuyan saw that the other party did not drive according to her instructions, she would keep repeating the same instruction over and over again, and her words became more and more harsh, and were full of sarcasm.

Zhao Xiaojing sat in the back seat terrified, not daring to say a word. The whole time, she couldn't help but wonder if Sun Junwei would suddenly explode and kill everyone in the car.

Zhou Chuyan loses her temper regardless of the occasion, so everyone in the family knows how she is when she is with Sun Junwei. Dong Mei initially advised her to control her temper and give Sun Junwei some face, but after many attempts to persuade her to no avail, she began to persuade her to find a job, at least to leave herself a pension.

Dong Mei barely ate lunch. She kept telling Zhou Chuyan to let Hanhan come over, saying that she would retire soon and could help take care of the children, and that Zhou Chuyan should go find a job. Then she told Zhao Xiaojing to quit her job and find a decent job if she wanted to work.

After dinner, Zhao Xiaojing and Zhou Chuyan washed the dishes while Dong Mei was in the living room.

Without Dong Mei in front of them, the tension between the two of them suddenly disappeared. While she couldn't hear them, they whispered in each other's ears.

"Why are you working so hard and still going to work on the construction site! You don't have to do this to resist my mother, right?"

Zhou Chuyan nudged Zhao Xiaojing with her elbow and leaned over to speak in a very low voice.

"No, working on a construction site is really good. I'm just cooking, not moving bricks or sand. Are you really not considering finding a job? Actually, what Third Aunt said makes sense. You can find a job that pays for your five social insurances, and even if you quit later, you can continue to pay for it yourself."

Zhao Xiaojing also leaned forward and lowered her voice.

"Hanhan is only three years old. I should at least take care of her until she goes to primary school. The child is still young and I am worried about her. And why should I let my mother take care of the child while Sun Junwei's mother stays at home to farm? I won't do that."
