Farming and reading family

Lei felt that her second sister-in-law didn't seem to be praising her, so she summarized what her mother had said to her.

"She used to either complain or dislike everyone, so why is she suddenly reminiscing about the old times?" Lei was very confused.

"It's to improve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and enhance their affection." Gao E nodded.

Lei Shi looked unconvinced: "She?"

Gao E nodded.

"Improve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? Enhance the affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?" Is it normal for Lei to think this way?

Her mother-in-law never plays this game, thinking everything is as it should be and that the Chen family would be finished without her.

"Alright." Gao E saw Lei's confused face and whispered in her ear, "Mother-in-law may think that father-in-law has someone else outside and wants us to stand on her side."

Lei was directly petrified.

She had heard of such things, but she never thought that such a thing would happen in her family.

"Then..." Lei was a little confused.

"If she doesn't say it directly, we'll just pretend we don't know." Gao E whispered, "You know what mother-in-law is like. You're all in the same boat now, but who knows what she'll say to us in order to please her father-in-law."

Lei nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Should we tell my sister-in-law?"

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Even if you tell your sister-in-law, she will still side with your mother-in-law."

This is the one thing her sister-in-law can't change, no matter how much she suffers.

Lei felt the same way, and even felt a little gloating.

The two of them went home together and saw their mother-in-law looking at them lovingly.

"The second son's wife is back. Your sister-in-law said that the village is digging river sand on the beach you bought. What did the head of the village allow you to do?" Jiang asked with concern.

"We are from the same village, so we just dug a pond. It will be convenient for me to raise fish later." Gao E said perfunctorily.

"You want to raise fish?" Jiang looked at Gao E in surprise.

Gao E just said that there was a possibility, but in her mother-in-law's eyes she was already planning to raise fish.

"Just thinking about it." Gao E sat aside. "We don't even have enough space to live now, so let's talk about other things later."

Jiang nodded obediently: "To raise fish, someone needs to look after the pond. I'll ask your eldest brother and third brother to help when the time comes."

Lei rolled her eyes. Her mother-in-law was really generous to others.

"My eldest brother and third brother are also very busy. We have a lot of land at home now, and my third brother is at the brick kiln, so he needs someone to take care of him," Gao E explained.

Yang was quite generous: "Your eldest brother doesn't have much to do during his slack season."

Gao E looked at Yang: "There's never any free time in a farming family. Sister-in-law, don't worry that she will tire out your brother."

Yang smiled awkwardly.

After a while, Qin and He came back. When Qin saw Jiang, she looked at her provocatively. Jiang was not angry at all and smiled at her.

Qin was at a loss as to what to do and wondered if this old woman was sick.

Yang took people to cook, and Gao E chatted with her mother-in-law.

Chat about digging the village foundation, whose child is sick, who got injured while cutting wood in the mountains, and the kiln...

Lei was stunned by what she heard. She wondered how come her second sister-in-law usually didn't talk much, so she suddenly became so talkative.

Look at her mother-in-law, who was very popular in the village, but now she can only listen with gritted teeth, and even her smile seems forced.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Lei felt inexplicably comfortable, even more comfortable than having a big fight with her mother-in-law.

Gao E didn't ask her mother-in-law why she came back, and didn't mention her father-in-law at all, leaving her mother-in-law no chance to say a word.

After a while, Chen Ke came back and Gao E found an excuse to leave.

As soon as Mrs. Lei saw her second sister-in-law leave, she followed her and asked, "Why isn't she chatting with our mother anymore?"

"Look." Gao E gestured.

Lei was shocked when she looked over and saw her mother-in-law holding her second brother's wrist and talking while wiping tears.

She took one look and didn't dare to look again, fearing that she would also be pulled by her mother-in-law to wipe her tears, so she immediately pushed her second sister-in-law away.

In fact, Lei still couldn't quite understand her mother-in-law's mentality. She had been with her mother-in-law for a long time, and subconsciously didn't want to get close to her current mother-in-law.

Gao E knew that Jiang had been holding it in for the entire morning. As long as Chen Ke mentioned his father, her mother-in-law would definitely complain.

Qin went to deliver lunch.

When Qin went over, Jiang wiped her tears and lowered her eyes, her attitude was still good.

After dinner, Gao E and Lei slipped out, and Chen Ke was left at home by his mother.

"Tell me, our family is now living a better life, how could your father do such a shameful thing?" Jiang's eyes were a little swollen.

Chen Ke didn't know how to explain this: "Dad said he was just going to have a drink."

"If he didn't fancy that woman, how could he only go to that place to drink?" Jiang Shi just didn't believe it. "I've asked around. That woman is selling wine on the surface, but in reality, she's selling her body."

Chen Ke didn't know what to say. As a man, he would go crazy if someone nagged him like this every day. "Then Mom, stay at home for a few days."

"No!" Jiang refused directly. "If I wasn't home, your father would have taken that little bitch and her whole family back home."

"Then..." Chen Ke felt that this problem had no solution. "I should send my mother back as soon as possible. If the city gates are closed, she won't be able to go back."

Jiang lowered her head and rolled her eyes. She came back this time intending to bring her son and daughter-in-law to support her, but now only the second son was here, and his attitude was so perfunctory, which made her feel chilled.

"Dad and Mom are an old couple. Dad would never do such a thing." Seeing his mother depressed, Chen Ke had to continue to comfort her.

"How do you know your father wouldn't do such a thing? I saw it with my own eyes." Jiang said a little excitedly.

Chen Ke took a deep breath and shut up. He shouldn't have said that.

Gao E and Lei were looking for bamboo worms in the bamboo forest. Now that the weather was hot, there were more bamboo worms.

"Why doesn't my second sister-in-law want to talk to my mother about my father?" Lei was very curious.

If a family encounters such a thing, they must sit down and have a good talk with the whole family.

"Because what mother wants is not to solve the problem, but for us to stand on her side." Gao E chuckled.

"What if Dad really lets Mom down?" Although Lei didn't like her mother-in-law, she also felt that this matter was quite unfair.

"You have to remember that if someone wants you to help them, at least extend your hand; if someone wants you to help them, at least state your needs. Don't just complain and list a bunch of difficulties as if it's your problem."

Lei thought about it seriously and wrote down these words first: "Hey, sister-in-law, don't expect our mother to understand this."

This is what makes people most tired. You can only adjust yourself and not care about it.

When they returned home, Chen Ke had already gone to see his mother off, but there was a new guest in the house.

"This is Yao the matchmaker from He County." Yang stood up hurriedly and introduced them when she saw the two of them coming back.

Matchmaker Yao also stood up with a smile, but her eyes were looking Lei up and down.

This gave Gao E a bad feeling: "But it's official media?"
