Rebirth Seventy Splendid Years

Mrs. Zhang’s cousin came very quickly, and she came over an hour later. She looked a bit like Mrs. Zhang, but she was a bit restrained, and she liked to lower her head when she spoke.

My cousin’s name is Xu Pandi, and you can tell by this name that she is the eldest of the family. Maybe there is a younger sister named Pandi Mengdi below. Sure enough, when Su Mei asked, Mrs. Zhang said, “There are two more cousins, look Di and Zhaodi, my aunt gave birth to five daughters, three survived, and my cousin was born on the sixth."

When mentioning her cousin, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help frowning. Su Mei saw it, thinking that the cousin was not worried. In such a rural family that favors sons over daughters, it is hard to give birth to a child. It must be the baby bump in the family. Nine times out of ten, they will develop delicious and lazy waste snacks.

But this is someone else's housework, so it's inconvenient to ask, and Su Mei didn't want to be nosy, so she asked Xu Pandi to try to put together a sleeve. As expected, the hands and feet were nimble and the stitches were very fine, indeed faster than Aunt Zhang.

"Let's stay and do it. The wages are the same as Mrs. Zhang's. One star anise for winter clothes and four cents for summer clothes. Three meals are all included. You can also live here. You can figure it out."

Su Mei talked about the working rules, which are the same as Mrs. Zhang's treatment.

"I'll live here, but I have to go back one day a week. There are children at home." Xu Pandi quickly made up his mind, which was a bit unexpected.

Su Mei thought she was going home, but she didn't expect to stay here.

"Sure, I'll clean up the house for you."

Su Mei was going to tidy up a guest room and come out. Fortunately, Han Jingchuan made a lot of furniture a few days ago. This guy is a good carpenter, and the furniture he made looks decent. He even made two single beds.

"You don't need to clean it up. My cousin and I will sleep in the same room." Brother Xu Pan waved his hands repeatedly, feeling embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhang also said that she could live in the same room with her without any trouble, so Su Mei let them.

"I'll call a Chela sewing machine."

Brother Xu Pan couldn't wait, he didn't even drink tea, so he was going back to work on the sewing machine.

"I'll call a tricycle and pull it with you."

Su Mei ran out and ordered a tricycle. There was a delivery man in the alley, and there was an idle tricycle at home. Su Mei rented it several times, and used it for one yuan each time. The owner was very happy.

Mrs. Zhang also followed. She was afraid that her cousin would quarrel with her mother-in-law, so she went to support her cousin. Moreover, Mrs. Zhang was good at riding a tricycle and had great strength.

Su Mei and Xu Pandi sat on the tricycle, while Mrs. Zhang rode it hummingly.

"Is your man at home?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

"Yes, he doesn't go to work, where else can he go when he's not at home?" Xu Pandi smiled wryly.

"Let me tell you, save the money you earn in the future, don't hand it in stupidly, your mother-in-law took away the wages of the garment factory, and now your mother-in-law can't control it, you just save it yourself, and you have no money Reliable."

Mrs. Zhang worked hard to educate her stupid cousin. Her cousin is too honest and loyal. She has worked in a street clothing factory for ten years, but she has never seen a penny. She was robbed by that wicked mother-in-law. Work hard.

After she found out, she asked her cousin to stop working in the garment factory, and just do a fart. The whole family enjoys life at home, and her cousin worked tirelessly as a cow and a horse.
Xu Pandi nodded, "I know, I won't listen to them this time."

These days, she has also figured it out. Parents and husbands are unreliable, and you still have to rely on yourself. In fact, children are also unreliable. Thinking of her two children, Xu Pandi feels bitter. She works every day, and the two children are raised by her mother-in-law Yes, I was taught to not kiss her at all, and when I saw her, I would be cold-faced. Every time she quarreled with her mother-in-law, the children would help grandma and call her a bad person.

Xu Pandi sighed heavily, and stopped thinking about these bad things. Cousin is right, money is the most valuable, she should save more money for retirement while she is young, those two white-eyed wolves will definitely not support her .

After listening to Su Mei all the way, she understood Xu Pandi's situation somewhat. She has a bad relationship with her in-laws and her husband, and her children don't help her. She is like an outsider at home. She came back late from work and didn't even leave food for her. The money he earned was taken away by his mother-in-law, which was worse than the servants in ancient times.

"Why don't you get a divorce? You are a tailor and you can definitely earn money. Why do you stay in such an impersonal family?" Su Mei didn't understand.

Now that I have no relationship with my husband, why bother to wrong myself.

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "I persuaded her to leave a long time ago, but she just refused, saying that the divorce would be embarrassing and she would be laughed at. My uncle and aunt also disagreed. Anyway, it's a mess and it's very annoying."

"My parents don't agree, saying that they won't be able to hold their heads high in the village after a divorce, which will affect my brother's reputation." Xu Pandi explained in a low voice that she didn't want a divorce either, for fear of embarrassment.

"It's a new society now, what's the shame, you're a dead-headed person, you'll suffer a lot sooner or later!"

Aunt Zhang hated iron for being weak, and scolded a few words, Xu Pandi just laughed and didn't refute, seeing that Aunt Zhang lost her temper and sighed heavily.

Su Mei didn't try to persuade her any more, she didn't know Xu Pandi well, it was inconvenient to intervene in housework, and even if she meddled, Xu Pandi had to be tough, otherwise the emperor would not be in a hurry, but the eunuch would be anxious to death instead.

When I arrived at Mrs. Xu Zhaodi's house, it was a large courtyard with a poor living environment. Even in the winter, there were all kinds of smells in the yard, especially the public pool in the yard, washing toilets, vegetables, clothes, and all kinds of things. All the stuffs in this pool, after a long time, will form a weird rotten smell. In summer, sweat smell is also added, which is especially offensive to the nose.

Su Mei didn't go upstairs, but waited downstairs. Xu Pandi's husband's house was on the first floor, and the two cousins ​​could lift it.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhang scolded, "This sewing machine is my family's Pandi's dowry. Your Zhang family is so poor that you want to snatch your daughter-in-law's dowry? I want to ask the neighbors, is there such a reason in the world?" When did the daughter-in-law's dowry become the property of the husband's family?"

"You Zhang family, don't bully people too much. My cousin has been bullied by you for ten years because she is honest. She worked hard for ten years and didn't see a penny. You snatched it all away, you bastards. The Zhang family is full of blood-sucking insects from top to bottom, they are lazy, and they are all supported by my cousin. How can you be panting? If I were you, I would have jumped the Huangpu River a long time ago, and I would be ashamed to live!"

Mrs. Zhang's angry scolding attracted many people to watch. Su Mei listened with gusto. She never expected Mrs. Zhang to be so aggressive. She heard from Chu Feng that Mrs. Zhang was being bullied at Jiang's house, and she thought Mrs. Zhang was honest. people.

"Everyone comment, is the daughter-in-law's dowry just for the daughter-in-law to dispose of? My Pandi doesn't have enough food and clothing at Zhang's house, and she's working like a cow and a horse, and even the dowry will be exploited? You Zhang The family is a rich landlord, if you peel off my cousin's skin and suck her blood, you will die!"

To deal with such a family of scoundrels, Mrs. Zhang was more than enough alone, and other neighbors also helped to speak. The Zhang family did not dare to use the sewing machine again, so they had to watch Mrs. Zhang and Xu Pandi carrying the sewing machine away.
