Daya called out timidly, "Grandpa, grandma, I am Daya." Daya also wanted to hug her grandparents like her younger brother, but she hesitated for a long time and still didn't dare to go forward.
Shen Xue loves Zhou Jin and all the clothes she wears for him are good. He didn't roll on the ground today, so his clothes are relatively clean. He is acting very well now, so Zhou's father and mother can't feel much dislike or concern for the child.
Daya was different. Her clothes were all patched up, and she was thin, small, and timid. Zhou's father and mother took one look at her and then stopped looking at her.
The daughter looks like her mother, so they feel disgusted with Shen Xue and subconsciously think that this girl is not a good child.
"Grandpa and grandma, are you tired? Xiao Jin will give you a back massage." Zhou Jin clenched his fists and began to massage his grandparents' backs. His little hands beat them again and again until Zhou Jin's head was covered in sweat.
Shen Xue watched from the side and felt that her in-laws were cruel. Her son was just a child, yet they had the nerve to let her son massage his back.
When Wang Fanghong looked at Zhou Jin's face, her fourth son's childhood unconsciously emerged in her mind.
The fourth son also gave her a back massage when he was young, but she liked her first three sons and could not feel any affection for the fourth son. At that time, she did not treat the fourth son well and only felt that he was irritating.
In a blink of an eye, she is about to retire, and her eldest grandson will be able to start a family in two years.
"Xiao Jin, right? Come, have some candy."
Wang Fanghong took out a handful of candy from her pocket and gave it to Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin held the candy in both hands and smiled sweetly and cutely.
"Come here, Daya, this is for you." It was one thing for her grandmother not to like Daya, but the two children were twins, and she couldn't give it to one and not the other.
Daya's originally dim eyes brightened up again when she heard her grandmother say that she would give her candy.
"Thank you grandma."
Before she could get the candy, Zhou Jin, who was standing next to her, put his candy in his pocket and quickly took Daya's candy with both hands.
"Grandma, you don't have to give it to Daya. Daya is a girl. My mother said that girls don't need to eat so well. It's okay as long as they can grow up."
Not only did he not take the candy, he also pushed Daya. Daya was already used to her brother pushing her for no reason. After being pushed down, she brushed the dust off her hands, patted her butt, and stood up, "Grandma, my brother is right, Daya doesn't need to eat so well, give all the candy to me."
Zhou Jin snorted, "No need for you to give me any candy, all the candies are mine."
Zhou Jin no longer looked as obedient as before. He was now overbearing and rude.
The good impression that Zhou's father and mother had for Zhou Jin also disappeared. It turned out that the children raised by Shen Xue were not any good.
"Grandpa and grandma, is it just candy? Xiaojin also wants biscuits, egg cakes, rock sugar, and malt sugar..."
Zhou Jin was eating candy and counting on his fingers what he wanted to eat.
"There's only candy, nothing else." He's not satisfied even after being given so much candy. He's just like his mother.
"Shen Xue, please make something delicious tonight. Your dad and I are tired and need to replenish our bodies."
Shen Xue stretched out her hand and said, "Mom, there's nothing to eat at home. Give me some money and I'll go out to exchange for flour and eggs. I'll come back and make egg pancakes for you and Dad, and some dumplings."
Wang Fanghong was feeling angry. She didn't want to give the money. If she didn't give it to Shen Xue, she would cook wild vegetable soup for them without even adding salt. They really couldn't stand it.
He took out fifty cents and said, "Go ahead and buy some more things."
It's only fifty cents, which can only be exchanged for two eggs, but her mother-in-law asked her to exchange for more things. What a joke.
"Mom, fifty cents can only buy one egg. One egg is not even enough for Xiaojin to eat."
Wang Fanghong took out another fifty cents from her pocket and said, "One yuan is enough, right?"
Things in the countryside are not valuable, so why would they be needed so much? Shen Xue just wanted to find a way to get money out of her pocket.
"Just barely enough."
Shen Xue came back soon after going out, carrying half a pound of flour and two eggs.
There were no dumplings. Her mother-in-law only gave her this little money, and she still wanted to eat dumplings. What the hell?
Seeing that her mother-in-law gave her money, Shen Xue made egg pancakes, but there were only five of them. The five egg pancakes were thin and small. Shen Xue got one, Zhou's father and mother each got one, Daya got half one, and Zhou Jin got one and a half. They were all gone after two bites.
"Shen Xue, you're not just going to make these pancakes, are you?"
"Mom, the countryside is not like the city. In the countryside, you have to be frugal and budget carefully so that you can live longer. Tonight, we are lucky to have an egg pancake. Usually, we eat steamed bread with wild vegetables."
Wang Fanghong: “…”
"I'm going to bed. Where are your dad and I going to sleep tonight?"
Shen Xue pointed at the kang and said, "We only have one room at home. We'll have to ask our parents to squeeze in with us tonight."
The kang is big enough for three adults and two children to sleep on without any problems. In order to save firewood in winter, the whole family basically squeezes together. Everyone sleeps like this, so no one is surprised.
Zhou's father and mother couldn't accept it. They had only met Shen Xue a few times and hated her. They couldn't sleep on the same kang with her.
"If it's just me, forget it. We're all lesbians, and we have your dad too. It's not appropriate for us to all sleep on the same kang. Why don't you take the child out and find a place to sleep together?"
Shen Xue thought about it carefully and agreed. "It's not appropriate. In that case, Dad, you should sleep in the pigpen tonight."
Father Zhou, Mother Zhou...
The two of them took several deep breaths together before they could hold back their anger. "Forget it, we'll just make do with it. We're not strangers after all."
Old woman, you let her husband sleep in the pigpen and now he knows that he is not a stranger anymore. You still want to act like your parents-in-law in her house. Isn't this a joke?
Zhou's father and mother thought that no matter how unreasonable Shen Xue was, she would still entertain them somewhat when they came here, because they were her parents-in-law and elders.
Who would have thought that Shen Xue didn't even put on an act and her words were so irritating.
