They didn't mind the water being cold.
Judging from her posture.
I took out almost all the dirty clothes in the house, and even changed the bed sheets and duvet covers.
"You're working for their family like this, surely He Hongyang will provide you with food and lodging, and he'll definitely pay you a salary too?"
"What do you mean 'their family'? This is my daughter's family, so naturally it's my family. I'm working for my own family, why would I ask for wages?"
The second and third aunts ran over from the front and back yards respectively.
They were extremely interested in this mother-in-law.
We're all about the same age.
When women get together, the thing they like to do most is to compare themselves with each other!
Looking at her waist, then at her face.
I don't know how she maintains her figure; she's almost 40 years old and still has such a great physique.
I don't know what she's wearing on her face, but at her age, she doesn't have a single wrinkle.
"Is it because you have fewer children? Did you only have two daughters, which is why you've maintained such a good figure?"
“I also have three daughters at home.”
Upon hearing her say that, everyone else was shocked and gaped in astonishment!
She has five daughters?!
In their courtyard, the woman who gave birth the most is the third aunt, and now she looks like a large sack.
She has given birth to five daughters and still looks so good.
It seems this isn't a matter of how many children she has, but rather that she's naturally beautiful.
"You have three children, how can you possibly stay here long-term? Are you planning to go home at the end of the month?"
“They are all grown up and can take care of themselves. They also have uncles and aunts to take care of them at home. I came here to find my daughter. Now that I have finally found her, of course I will stay for a while longer.”
"Although they are older, they are still unmarried. How will these girls support themselves at home?"
“My son-in-law said that he will send food coupons and money home, and also send cotton-padded clothes to his sisters-in-law. Consider it my salary for taking care of the children here.”
Everyone gaped in shock once again!
In other words.
He Hongyang not only has to support his mother-in-law, but also his three younger sisters-in-law!
Not only did he have to provide for his mother-in-law's food and drink, but he also had to send food coupons and cotton-padded clothes to his sister-in-law back in his hometown.
This is not something an ordinary son-in-law could do.
Surprisingly, he doesn't help anyone outside the family, but he's very generous to his mother-in-law's family.
Could it be that Zhao Ailing is exaggerating the facts?
Jia Zhangshi was the first to disbelieve it.
“If my daughter-in-law were to send something to her family, my son would break her legs. I’m sure it was Wang Liying who influenced him, which is why He Hongyang had no choice but to agree.”
The second aunt didn't believe it either.
She has three sons.
If her son's wife sends things to her mother's house every day after he gets married, she will be the first to object.
"Wang Liying is now a member of the He family, so even if she wants to help her family, she doesn't need to be so generous."
"You're his mother-in-law, not his biological mother. Are you expecting a son-in-law to support the entire Wang family?"
The three women found it even more unbelievable.
“Even though we have a daughter, I won’t allow her to send things back to her parents’ home when she grows up. Sending things back to her parents’ home like that would only make my daughter suffer in her husband’s family.”
Zhao Ailing said with a smile as she worked.
“This wasn’t my daughter’s idea. It was my son-in-law who said it when I arrived yesterday. He said that since my daughter married him, the Wang family’s affairs are his affairs.”
"As for whether your family members will do this in the future, I don't know. I only know that he is not only kind-hearted, but also capable of it."
“At first I didn’t believe it, but then he told me that since I had come to Beijing, he would let me live a good life.”
"It's winter now, and making sure his sister-in-law stays warm and cozy all winter is his way of showing his love as her brother-in-law!"
Zhao Ailing didn't care about what they said at all, and instead worked even harder.
Their initial doubts turned into envy.
The three women slapped their thighs repeatedly.
"It turns out that He Hongyang took the initiative to suggest it. I also have a daughter, and I hope that the man my daughter finds in the future will treat his mother-in-law the same way. That way, Lao Yan and I won't have to worry about our future."
Madam Jia could only say dejectedly, "Anyway, I don't believe it. If my daughter-in-law were to..."
She hasn't finished speaking yet.
Then Qin Huairu stormed out of her house.
"Why are you going out visiting relatives and friends when you're not working at home all day? The Wang family's daughter came to the He family, and Brother He can not only support his mother-in-law, but also his sister-in-law."
“I, Qin Huairu, married into your Jia family, and you can’t even support me alone, let alone my family.”
"Back then, you patted your chests and promised that after we got married, you would help us repair our house and buy us bicycles."
"Now the house hasn't been repaired, the bicycle hasn't been bought, and every year you still expect my family to send you sweet potatoes and corn."
"Jia Zhangshi, this family is no place to live with a mother-in-law like you. I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes since I married into your family!"
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come back to boil water, I need to wash my hair!"
He listened to Qin Huairu pointing her finger at him and cursing.
It's one thing for her to throw tantrums at home all the time.
Now, in front of so many people, she, the mother-in-law, is embarrassed.
Jia Zhangshi kept explaining to others, "She's talking complete nonsense. She would never dare to treat me like that at home."
Look at Zhao Ailing, she's a mother-in-law, and her son-in-law treats her incredibly well.
Then look at yourself. You're the mother-in-law. You spent so much money to bring your daughter-in-law into the family, yet Qin Huairu treats you like this.
It seems the Jia family is now completely outmatched by the He family in everything!
She doesn't earn as much money as others, she had her children later than others, and even her new mother-in-law is treated better than her as her mother-in-law!
Everyone else was incredibly envious.
I even went to their house before to ask if I could help them take care of their children.
It seems now.
That family lives a harmonious and happy life.
They have been proven wrong time and time again!
...
He Hongyang approached Zhang Dajun, wanting to transfer Zhao Ailing's household registration to his residence.
Although it's not easy to change your household registration now.
But they were Zhao Ailing's real relatives.
As long as you have a Beijing hukou (household registration), you will be allocated a quota.
The food problem was solved.
With an urban household registration, everything will be much easier in the future.
Zhang Dajun never expected that he would actually bring his mother-in-law home and even let her move in.
He Hongyang is just a son-in-law, so it is truly remarkable that he has been able to do this.
Are you really going to support her?
“It’s not really about supporting her. Since she’s here, she can help me with some work. Besides, once she has an urban household registration, the food problem can be solved.”
"In that case, there are quite a few people in your family."
"Three people in my family work, and we manage to get by."
Zhang Dajun thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few small factories on the street. Anyway, your wife's belly isn't that big yet. How about I find a temporary job for your mother-in-law?"
"It's about cooking for a dozen people at the factory, just for lunch. You can earn about 20 yuan a month. Do you think that's a good idea?"
This job is fine.
Although it's just a temporary job, I only cook lunch and still get 20 yuan a month.
Zhao Ailing is young and strong now, she has no problem doing this job.
I can stay home and help out in the mornings and evenings.
Moreover, it's a factory run by the local government, very close to home, so I can go home anytime.
Although He Hongyang has everything, he could support not only one mother-in-law, but ten mothers-in-law.
But on the surface, they still have to put on a show.
She's only 40 years old. If she can keep doing this job long-term, it will be an extra source of income.
"Thank you very much, Director Zhang. I'll need your help with the household registration matter, and I'll also need your help with my mother-in-law's job."
What is he talking about?
Hasn't He Hongyang helped him enough?
Besides, he came to see him.
If you consult Li Huaide, Secretary Liu, or other senior leaders you've consulted, they'll definitely handle it better than you can.
"Don't be so polite with me. Go back and talk to her about it. You can come to work tomorrow."
He Hongyang took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and two bottles of Xifeng liquor.
"Take this."
These are all rare items.
Now, both cigarettes and alcohol are rationed.
Ordinary people simply cannot obtain these things.
Of course, he didn't know that He Hongyang had bought a large number of them several years ago and stored them in his own system space.
Because he knew that in the future, good cigarettes and alcohol would be almost as valuable as circulating currency.
The harder something is to obtain, the rarer it is!
And these two things are precisely what are indispensable in human relationships and social interactions.
"These are too expensive; our relationship doesn't require them at all."
“Aren’t you still asking someone to help with your household registration? Keep the cigarettes, and give the two bottles of wine one to the person helping with the registration and the other to the factory director in the street office. Ask them to take good care of my mother-in-law.”
Since he said so, Zhang Dajun had no choice but to accept it, feeling embarrassed.
"Where did you get all this? This is a whole carton of Daqianmen cigarettes. Did your sister-in-law save some for you at the grocery store?"
