Reborn in 1980, I became the sweet wife of a tough guy
Chapter 51: In-laws, I’m here to make amends
Grandma Jiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who told you?"
"It's aunt, can't you tell me?"
"It's not that I can't tell you. Just don't mention it in front of your mother. That child will take half of your mother's life."
Lin Anan's brother, her cousin to be precise, is Qiao Shuhuai's child.
Not long after Qiao Shuhuai got married, Qiao Zhang was sent to repair the reservoir in the middle of winter. Because her stepmother was demanding and didn't have enough to eat, Qiao Shuhuai's feet became weak and she fell into the cold reservoir. When everyone fished the man out with all their hands, the 1.7 meter tall man turned into a corpse.
At this time, Qiao Shuhuai's new daughter-in-law was just two months pregnant. She was affectionate and insisted on giving birth to the child despite the objections of her mother's family.
It's a boy, the brother my aunt calls him.
The boy was named Dashan, which means that his mother relies on him.
When Dashan was five years old, Aunt Qiao couldn't bear the entanglement of her vicious mother-in-law and rogue brother-in-law, and finally decided to remarry.
In that era, it was not easy to get married with children, especially boys. People were selfish. They were already poor, but how could they raise someone else's seed? When you grow up, you build a house and marry a wife, which is not a penny spent.
Aunt Qiao couldn't bear to let her son suffer with her.
At this time, Qiao Shulin stepped forward. He did not stop his sister-in-law from remarrying, leaving his eldest brother's only bloodline behind. If he had one bite to eat, the whole mountain would have a bite to eat.
At this time, Qiao Shulin already had a daughter, who was just three years old. Because Jiang Xiu had difficulty in giving birth, the doctor had already concluded that she would not have another baby.
Dashan is the eldest brother's child. He happened to have only one little girl, so Qiao Shulin left Dashan, and Aunt Qiao successfully remarried.
Qiao Shulin and his wife treated Dashan as their own until they were twelve years old. Aunt Qiao never had children after she got married. Her husband, who married later, forced Aunt Qiao to contact Dashan in order to have someone to provide for him in his old age.
As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. When Aunt Qiao left, Dashan had already remembered things. No matter how kind his uncle and aunt were to him, they could not replace his yearning for his biological mother.
As time went by, Dashan had the idea of living with Aunt Qiao.
After living together for so long, Qiao Shulin and his wife have already had deep feelings for Dashan, but no matter how deep their feelings are, they can't keep them as their own, right?
Dashan went to find his mother, and Jiang Xiuyi couldn't afford to fall ill. It took a year to recover.
The arrival of Xiaoshan alleviated some of the pain of missing me. The name of Xiaoshan was also derived from Dashan.
……
Today is the day of "dowry delivery". Ji's mother directed Ji Mancang and Ji Nian to move things to Qiao's house early in the morning.
Lin Anan tidied up very late last night. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't lie down anymore. She got up and dressed, washed her face, and then went out to help move things.
"Have An An eaten?"
She was soon to be her daughter-in-law, so Ji's mother naturally became interested in Lin An'an.
"Not hungry."
"You can't do it without eating." Ji's mother told Ji Nian, "Bring some of last night's dumplings to your sister-in-law."
Jiang Xiu quickly said: "I rolled out the noodles and kept them for her."
"The dumplings I made last night are made with lean meat and cabbage. They taste good too. Eat some of both."
Lin Anan couldn't refuse her mother-in-law's wishes. She had a good breakfast.
"Ji Cheng can't make it back today, so Ji Nian can only give the dowry. It's not appropriate for him to come as the boss is the boss."
When her husband's family sends a dowry, they just send the furniture and wedding quilt and bring it back to her husband's family tomorrow. Lin Anan understands that it means that it will look good on the wedding day.
This is indeed the case.
I started cooking at around nine o'clock, and my neighbors were helping me do it.
At around ten o'clock, guests came one after another, mostly Jiang Xiu's family.
Jiang Xiu also invited her family, and she had such a trouble with her stepmother-in-law Qiao Shucun that she didn't invite him regardless of what others said.
But an unexpected person came. She was Qiao Shulin's sister, Qiao Shulin's half-sister.
Mrs. Qiao Zhang followed behind and scolded, "You have no face and no butt, how can people recognize you? If you have that spare money, you might as well show respect to me."
Aunt Qiao doesn't care what my mother calls her. Her nephews and nieces are all members of her mother's family. If the relationship is well managed, her nephews and nieces are the backers of her mother's family.
"Second sister-in-law."
Aunt Qiao went to see Jiang Xiu first. Her husband's family was from the town. The man was older but his family conditions were good and he was generous. She gave her niece a bag of three kilograms of snacks, a bed sheet, and a washbasin.
Jiang Xiu quickly introduced Lin Anan.
"An'an looks like my second brother, with similar eyes and nose. My second brother is the head of our family (the top one, meaning appearance)."
Not being able to meet his biological father is a regret that Lin Anan can never make up for.
Ji Nian came to deliver the dowry as the second brother.
At eleven o'clock, the banquet officially started with two tables.
Shanzi and Qiao Liuqing were the ones serving tea and water. Qiao Liuqing took goods from Lin Anan for four episodes and made a lot of money for the family. Now her parents treat her like a god of wealth.
Qiao Liuqing is also the bridesmaid tomorrow, and the other is Aunt Jiang's cousin.
Lin Anan has been staying in his room, because from time to time, people from the village come to give gifts, a few biscuits for common friendship, a washbasin for a better relationship, and sheets, pillow towels, etc. for a better relationship.
You have to keep an account after accepting it. These are not out of thin air. They are all courtesy. In the future, if someone else's family has trouble, Jiang Xiu will have to pay it back.
Night falls gradually.
Most of the guests have left. Aunt Jiang's cousin is staying and is helping Lin Anan pack the things she will take away tomorrow.
Things like washbasins, lanterns, and thermos bottles should be pasted with pink paper and tied with red strings to show celebration.
Lin An'an didn't expect that there were too many things involved in getting married. She was like an idiot because Jiang Xiu told her what to do.
"Sister, will you join the army after you get married?"
My cousin’s surname is Li, and her name is Li Yufeng.
"With the army, I can't do farm work, and I can't even eat in the countryside." Lin Anan laughed at herself.
"I'm good at farming, but I don't want to stay in the countryside. Some of my classmates go out to work. They earn forty or fifty a month. Isn't it better than digging for food in the dirt?"
Heshi was very big, and Lin Anan wanted to open another branch and needed clerks, but she didn't answer the call because she didn't know her cousin well.
"Yufeng, what is your education level?"
"I don't have any academic qualifications. I just graduated from junior high school and my grades are not very good."
"Learn a craft, such as pastry or accounting. It will be useful in the future and you will earn more than someone who works hard."
"Where can I learn this?"
Lin Anan grew up in the city, and Li Yufeng still had a little admiration for her, so she believed Lin Anan's advice.
"Looking around, there are places in the town and county that specialize in training courses."
Jiang Xiu called the sisters to eat.
Chicken, Chinese cabbage, leftover meat plate from lunch, dinner was quite sumptuous.
Shanzi was bored aside.
"What's wrong with Shanzi?"
Jiang Xiu winked and said, "Don't worry about him. Just eat when you're very hungry."
Shanzi was about to cry, "Why does my sister go to someone else's house to get married? Isn't it good for us to live together?"
Lin Anan was a little touched. In fact, she wasn't very kind to Shanzi. She often thought he was a little brat and didn't talk to him very much. He didn't understand even if she did.
"That's what happens when people grow up. When you grow up, you will also marry a wife. If you keep living with your mother, your mother will be worried."
"I don't want a wife..."
Shanzi's slightly childish words made several people laugh.
"In-laws, An'an, I'm here to apologize."
It was Ji's mother who pushed open the door.
After saying this, Jiang Xiu became nervous, "In-laws, what happened?"
