After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

Chapter 76, Section 90: The White Moonlight Can Only Be Admired from Afar (8)

After dinner, Cheng's mother and father said they had something to discuss with Wen Yi and Cheng Qingsong later.

Looking at the two of them so solemnly, Wen Yi wondered what she could possibly want to discuss with them. They didn't understand anything.

But she still nodded obediently, thinking that if they could discuss it, then they could discuss it; all she had to do was nod or shake her head.

After everything was settled, Mr. Cheng said to Wen Yi and her husband, "After you get married, you'll be adults. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Wen Yi and Cheng Qingsong exchanged a glance, then looked at Cheng's father, their eyes filled with confusion: "Should we have any plans?"

Looking at the two of them, Cheng's mother thought, "They've only grown taller but not smarter. Oh, no, there's one who hasn't grown taller and hasn't grown smarter either."

Mrs. Cheng said with exasperation, "You're all married now, don't you think about how to support your families? Or do you still have the nerve to ask us for living expenses?"

They didn't think that much about it at all. They just felt that getting married was no different from not getting married. They would just live their lives as they always did. They never thought about how to plan after getting married.

After being reminded by Cheng's parents, Wen Yi still had no clue what to do, but she also felt a little guilty, realizing that she should indeed be more mature after getting married.

But how do you define maturity?

"Shall we go up the hill to work tomorrow?"

That's all she can think of. Oh, there's also working, but she really doesn't want to go. Whenever Wen Yi thinks about taking a bus, she thinks of the Wen Yi in her dream. Every time she goes out to work, she gets so nauseous on the bus that she feels dizzy and nauseous. Just thinking about it fills her with fear.

Cheng's mother was speechless for a moment, thinking to herself, "My daughter-in-law has never done any farming work since she was a child."

The mother-in-law said that Wen Yi started school at the age of 8 and continued until she graduated from junior high school at the age of 17. When she got married at the age of 18, the hardest time for Wen Yi was when she had to walk six kilometers every day to go to elementary school.

So after she got married, if she couldn't do any farm work at the Cheng family's house, she could ask her father-in-law at the Wen family's house for help.

She was completely oblivious to her parents' good intentions and even offered to go up the hillside to farm.

Mr. Cheng did not doubt the credibility of his daughter-in-law's words. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Our family's land was rented to your third uncle's family for farming. He rented it for five years, and there are still two years left before the lease expires, so our family has no land to farm now."

Upon hearing that she wouldn't have to work anymore, Wen Yi excitedly slapped her thigh: "Oh, Dad, you are so wise and powerful. Renting out the land means we don't have to suffer anymore. Unlike my grandparents, who have so much land but don't rent it out. My mom and grandpa don't get a break all year round, and the grain is piled up in four granaries."

Cheng Qingsong asked curiously, "Do you have a lot of grain at home?"

When Wen Yi thought about the grain in her family, she had a lot to say: "There's plenty! We plant every year, how could there not be enough? The grain my family grows in one year is enough for three years' worth of food. Even though we have new grain every year, we're eating old grain every year."

At this point, Wen Yi couldn't help but complain to Cheng Qingsong, "Isn't my grandma strange? She always says that we should finish the grain left over from the year before last before eating this year's grain, so that the newly harvested grain can be stored for a longer time. But year after year, we eat old grain every year."

Cheng Qingsong then asked, "Why doesn't Grandma sell the uneaten grain and eat the new grain?"

"I don't know. My dad said that unless the family urgently needs money, they would never easily sell grain except to pay the grain tax."

"I heard that during the famine, my grandparents ran out of food and had no choice but to give my aunt away. So after the famine, my grandparents never let our family go hungry again."

Seeing the two of them so brazenly veer off-topic right in front of them, Cheng's mother couldn't help but sigh inwardly at their unreliable behavior.

She disagreed with their marriage from the very beginning. They were still immature, so how could they know what marriage really meant?

It is said that poor children mature early, but their living environment was so simple before, how sensible could they be?

One was just 18 years old and graduated from junior high school, and the other was just 20 years old and graduated from high school. They were in a hurry to get married right after graduation.

These two never worried about anything, and they knew nothing about human relationships. They naively thought that as long as they liked each other, they could get married, and that they could be as free as before after marriage.

Seeing that the two had stopped talking, Cheng's mother continued, "Your father and I are going to work in another city next month. Do you want to come with us?"

“If you two don’t go, you won’t be able to go to your grandparents’ house for meals like you did before Qingsong got married. You two will have to stay at our house, cook for yourselves, and look after the house. Chengxin and Chenghe don’t need to go to your grandparents’ house either; they can stay with you.”

Cheng Qingsong looked at Wen Yi and asked, "Do you want to go? If you go, I'll go; if you don't go, I won't go."

Wen Yi rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Tell me, if we stay at home, what can we do to support ourselves? Do you know how to farm and plant rice? Make it clear first, I can only watch, I will never do anything."

Cheng Qingsong: "Then let's go out to work with my mom and the others. Can't we support ourselves by working? I've heard that it's easy to make money outside these days. You can just go into any factory and as long as you're hardworking, you can definitely save money."

"But I've heard that things are very chaotic outside now, with petty thieves and gangsters everywhere..."

The two chatted back and forth, and before they knew it, they had forgotten about Cheng's parents. They talked about whatever came to mind, without even asking about the people in front of them who had worked outside the village.

Seeing how unreliable these two were, Cheng's father said helplessly, "If you really don't want to go to work, then I'll go and ask your third uncle to take back the family's land so you can farm at home?"

The thought that he had never farmed before and had no idea when to plant corn or transplant rice seedlings made Cheng Qingsong feel increasingly uncertain.

“Let’s go out and work with our parents. If we really can’t earn money, we still have our parents. They wouldn’t bear to let us go hungry and cold, after all, I’m their only son.”

Thinking of this, he patted his chest again and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, I will never let you go hungry. I will take care of you, and all the money I earn in the future will be yours."

Wen Yi looked at him and said, "We're already married. Shouldn't you give me the money you earn? In my family, Grandpa earns the money and Grandma keeps it; Dad earns the money and Mom keeps it. Since you earn the money, it's only natural that I should keep it!"

"Really? But didn't my grandma say that once a man gets married, he becomes the head of the household and makes the decisions? How can he make the decisions if he doesn't have money?"

Cheng's mother: "...Alright, that's enough for today. You should also hurry up and pack the clothes you'll wear when you go out. Bring several warm clothes, as Zhejiang Province is bitterly cold this month."

"Also, wash any unused blankets and clothes in advance, otherwise they won't be dry when you go out, which will be a problem."

"Also, Xiaoyi, you need to tell your parents too, so they won't be kept in the dark after you leave!"

Wen Yi nodded obediently: "I understand. I'll go to my house tomorrow to let them know."

He then turned to Cheng Qingsong and asked, "Are you coming home with me?"

"I won't go. I'll wait for you at home." Cheng Qingsong felt uncomfortable going to the Wen family's house and didn't want to go at all.
