Chapter 140 I want my grandson to inherit the throne
After Shen Ye Ning returned home and finished her meal, she went to water the vegetables in the field. It was already eight o'clock, and she thought that all the housework would be done by now, so she went to the seventh floor to find Zhang Xiaomei.
Zhang Xiaomei went to open the door and saw that it was her. She was surprised and asked, "Captain Lu's wife, why are you here?"
She had just finished taking a shower and was using a fan to blow her hair. Her skin was dark and she was not wearing any makeup, but she had a natural and simple beauty, and her eyes and eyebrows revealed an air of honesty, hard work and tenacity.
There was a knock on the door. I took off the hairband on my hands and tied up my hair.
"My family sent me some candy. It's been hot lately and I can't eat too much because I'm afraid it will melt. I wanted to share some with you and talk to you about something. I don't know if that's convenient."
Zhang Xiaomei gave her the seeds for free last time and she hadn’t given her a gift in return, but she just gave her a gift in return this time.
"It's convenient. I'm the only one at home. Come in first. You don't need any candy. Those seeds are all grown by me. They are not valuable. Besides, I'm using them to apologize to you. How can I take your things?" Zhang Xiaomei opened the door and invited her in to sit down.
Shen Ye Ning listened to her polite words and felt that she was a fair person. It would save a lot of trouble if she could go to the store to help.
Zhang Xiaomei took a cup and poured her a glass of water, then sat down next to her and smiled apologetically, "Captain Lu's wife, I don't usually like to drink tea and rarely make it, and there's no tea at home."
"It's okay. I seldom drink tea either. Sister-in-law, don't call me Captain Lu's wife. You are older than me, so just call me by my name. I will call you Sister-in-law Xiaomei."
Zhang Xiaomei tried to call out, "...Ye Ning."
"Ok!"
"Sister-in-law, do you want to find a job? I heard from Sister-in-law Chunmei that you can make clothes. I opened a clothing store and I'm short of staff. I want to recruit you to help in my factory."
"Can I ask about the salary first?"
"The probation period is one month, two yuan a day, four days off. After the probation period, the base salary is two yuan a day, and then you will be given a commission. On top of the base salary, you will get an additional 10 cents per piece as commission. If you're fast, it's not a problem to get 100 yuan a month."
Zhang Xiaomei's eyes lit up, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "So many! I'll go, I'll go, I'll go to the beach, it's only 1.5 yuan a day, and it's easy to get tanned. Look, I'm almost as dark as my husband. I've long wanted to find a job that doesn't require me to be exposed to the sun and rain, so I can take good care of my skin and hopefully get whiter."
She often does farm work in the countryside and is easily tanned, which makes her skin darker.
Although the black spots look healthy, she is still a newly married young wife who has not given birth to children yet. Who doesn’t like to be fair, tender, young and beautiful?
"So when can I start work?"
Zhang Xiaomei immediately responded, "Tomorrow is fine."
"Okay, I'll call you before I go out tomorrow, and we'll go together. I'll go find the other two sisters-in-law and ask them if they want to work."
Zhang Xiaomei happened to know the other two sisters-in-law recommended by Lin Chunmei, Xie Juan, the wife of Captain Huang, and Yang Tao, the wife of the deputy battalion commander of the regiment. The three of them often made appointments to go out to sea together as temporary workers.
The two of them went together to look for someone. The two sisters-in-law thought the salary was good, so they agreed to go together and give it a try tomorrow.
……
Political Commissar Li’s home.
When Lin Chunmei returned home, she saw watermelon peels and melon seed shells all over the floor. No one was listening in the living room, but the radio was still playing at a volume so loud that people next door could hear it.
Li's mother's voice came from the door, "Are you back? Go and cook, I'm hungry."
Li Qiuyan helped Li's mother in. There was no one to cook, so they went to the army canteen to eat. The canteen served meals in a big pot, which was not as delicious as the food cooked in the small stove at home.
Life has been better in recent years, and Li's mother has become picky about food, and she wants to take revenge on Lin Chunmei.
She just returned downstairs, and a military wife who was familiar with her told her that Li's mother asked them what dishes were available in the cafeteria today, and she also asked who Li Qiuyan was to her.
The question left her speechless.
Lin Chunmei, "Mom, didn't you go to the cafeteria to eat? There aren't many dishes left at home, not enough for three people."
"The food in the cafeteria is not tasty. I can't get used to it. I came back after eating just two bites. I'm still hungry. Aren't there vegetables grown in the fields? Go pick some and ask the neighbors if anyone has meat. I can buy some."
"Mom, what's up with the watermelon rinds and melon seed shells on the floor? There's a trash can in the living room, why don't they put them in the trash can?"
Li's mother said confidently, "It's too far to reach. I just throw it away randomly in the countryside."
"The countryside is different from here. In the countryside, the ground is just made of corroded melon rinds, not cement."
"Just clean it up."
"Whoever made it should clean up. I'm tired from work." Lin Chunmei felt that she had never been so tired in her life. It was not because of work but because of mental exhaustion. She met a nasty mother-in-law, and she endured it for twenty years for the sake of her man.
In the past, when her son was at home, she would be more restrained, but now that he is not around, she starts to act up and cause trouble.
"How dare you not do it? When my son comes back, you have to tell him that you bullied my mother-in-law, saying one thing in public but doing another behind her back."
"up to you."
Lin Chunmei was in no mood to eat. She returned to her room and found that a few pieces of clothes were missing from the closet and the lipstick on the bedside table had been touched.
When I turned around, I found that Li Qiuyan was wearing her dark green cheongsam and her lipstick was on her lips.
"Li Qiuyan, did you touch my things again?"
"Sister-in-law, this is the case. I forgot to bring lipstick, and I happened to see it on your bedside table, so I used it once. But I feel that this lipstick is not suitable for me. It is not as red as I want. But I like to share something with sister-in-law. It makes us look intimate. I hope sister-in-law doesn't mind."
Li Qiuyan used her index finger to lift a strand of hair in front of her chest and gently twisted it to roll it up.
She walked slowly, wearing a cheongsam. The slim cut fit her skin tightly, perfectly outlining her curvy figure.
Her movements were enchanting, her postures seductive, her looks frivolous.
Lin Chunmei looked away and looked at Li's mother, and asked directly, "Mom, are you planning to let her continue the Li family's lineage?"
"Yes! That's what I think. You can't give birth to a son, and you're delaying my son's life. He's over 40, and he won't be able to have children in a few years. I beg you to have mercy on me, an old woman. Have mercy on our Li family, which has only one bloodline. If the bloodline is cut off, how can I go to the underworld to see my old man? He kept talking about his grandson until his death. It was you who made him die with regrets, and you want me, an old woman, to die with regrets too." Mother Li sat on the sofa, slapping her thighs and crying.
Lin Chunmei in the room sat helplessly on the edge of the bed, her eyes red and tears streaming down her face, she lay on the bed and cried bitterly.
But Li's mother refused to let her go and ran to the door of the room, put her hands on her hips and cursed.
She cursed, "Chunmei, you've been married for so many years, I know you're a good daughter-in-law and a good person. But nothing can compare to my grandson. You can't even lay an egg, how dare you stay in this house? You're such a jinx, so unlucky! If it weren't for my son protecting you, I would have kicked you out long ago."
He cursed until spit flew all over the place.
Li Qiuyan was sitting on the sofa in the living room, eating melon seeds. She looked smug and smiled meaningfully, a smile that was full of calculation and victory.
She is able to give birth to sons every time. She wants to replace Lin Chunmei as the mistress of the family, become an officer's wife, and give birth to three or five sons for Brother Li, thus becoming a hero of the Li family.
A cold voice came from outside the door, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, who is it? I heard it from next door, the voice was loud and the tone was not small. If you don't know, you would think there is a throne to inherit in the family, but it turns out that you are a little old country woman who insists on having a son, otherwise you will die with regrets. And you want to inherit the family business? Do you want your grandson to inherit your pots and pans, or your one acre and three mu of land?"
