The second brother glanced towards the kitchen and saw no fire at all. It was obvious that there was no hot water. He was so angry.

He poked his wife's shoulder hard several times.

"I said, how do you do your job? There's not even hot water when you come back. Can't you see how dirty I am?"

"Even if it's not this dirty, I'm still getting wet in the rain. Don't I need a hot shower?"

The second son's wife felt very aggrieved. If the eldest son's wife hadn't pulled her back, she would have fallen to the ground.

It's really hard to bear to see him getting so angry as soon as he got back. How could he treat the person who gave birth to his children like this?

"You can't blame your wife for this."

The second brother didn't expect his sister-in-law to come and help him. She usually doesn't like to talk much, but today it was unusual.

"Who else can I blame if not her? She doesn't care about her man, so what's wrong with poking her twice?"

The eldest sister-in-law glanced into the old lady's room, but it was difficult to see the movements clearly at night, so the eldest and second sons were still confused.

He whispered, "It's mother."

"what?"

The eldest and the second child couldn't believe their ears. How could it be mother? They went up the mountain to get poured with water for her, but they didn't even boil water for her to take a bath. It was totally unfair.

The eldest brother's face turned terribly dark, and his voice became gloomy, "What did mother say?"

The eldest son's wife noticed that her husband's tone was a little off. Who would be in a good mood after encountering such a thing? His mother didn't care about them, so she lowered her voice.

"She said that the more firewood we have at home, the better. The two men have strong firepower. We can just wash with cold water and we won't get sick."

The second son's wife felt that she had now cleared herself of the grievances. It was not that she did not want to burn the stove or was too lazy to do the work, but that her mother did not allow her to do so, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"We wanted to cook it just now. The pot was already filled with water, and my sister-in-law brought in firewood. When my mother heard the noise, she asked us to bring it back."

The second son then realized that he had misunderstood his wife. He had used a lot of force in that move just now, so it must have been painful.

Go back to the house and say some nice things to your wife later.

How could I have such a mother who is reluctant to even use firewood? It's really heartbreaking.

The eldest and the second brother looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. How could it be possible that if mother didn't allow them to use it, they wouldn't have to use it.

She couldn't move on the kang and couldn't stop the boiling water. At most, she would just curse a few words. As long as you tell her that Fugui is already asleep and don't wake up her precious grandson, she probably won't curse you all night.

The second son wanted to change into clean clothes, but there were no other better clothes in the house. Only what he was wearing was decent enough. He thought it would be okay to go shirtless, so he found a pair of pants that were full of patches and put them on so as not to expose himself.

Before entering the house, he told his wife, "Go boil some hot water. My brother and I want to take a hot bath. Whoever wants a cold bath can take it."

These words really touched the boss' heart.

"That's right, I have to take a hot bath today."

The eldest son's wife was in a dilemma. On one side was the old lady, and on the other was her husband. She was the one who usually served the old lady. If she boiled hot water for him tonight, she would not dare to go into the house to serve her mother tomorrow.

Seeing the second son's wife going to fetch firewood, and the eldest and second sons covered in mud, it would be more comfortable to take a hot bath. He gritted his teeth and went to fetch some more firewood into the kitchen. If the old lady was to scold him tomorrow, let her do it.

The firewood was not chopped by her, and the water was not carried by him. Besides, the boss also worked hard, so how could I not give it to him?

The kitchen was busy, and the dim light of the fire illuminated the faces of the two daughters-in-law.

The eldest and the second son returned to the house and changed into clean clothes. They threw the dirty clothes directly on the ground. Anyway, their wife would pick them up and put them in the basin, and they would have clean clothes to wear the day after tomorrow.

"Sister-in-law, add some more firewood to make the fire burn faster. I saw that they were shivering from the cold just now. I hope they don't fall ill tomorrow."

The eldest son's wife stuffed more firewood into the stove and blew into it. The fire suddenly became bigger and the water would boil soon.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to make some ginger soup?"

When the second son's wife heard this, she felt a little embarrassed. There was not much ginger at home and they usually used it sparingly. There was only a small piece left, and if she wanted to make ginger soup, she would have to put it in.

My mother treats these things like the apples of her eye. If I use them too much every day, I will definitely get scolded.

It was because she was having trouble going out of bed recently that I allowed these things to be placed in the kitchen. Otherwise, I would have to go back and forth with her to get the key to open the cabinet, and it would have felt like torture every time.

The old lady also thought that if the cabinet was always opened and something else was taken out from there when she was not paying attention, it would be better to just put these things in the kitchen and ask the eldest daughter-in-law to take them to her for inspection after cooking every day.

But we must not develop the habit of extravagance and waste.

The two of them decided to do it. At worst, they would just not put ginger in their cooking next time. But it would be difficult for their mother to pass the test.

The old lady was sleeping soundly, but when she heard the voices outside and the noise in the kitchen, she woke up and shouted in a hoarse and weak voice.

"Boss's wife~"

The people who were busy in the kitchen couldn't help but tremble in their hearts when they heard this voice. They really knew how to choose the time and hurriedly agreed.

"Hey, Mom~"

I had wanted to make the soup before she woke up, but now it seems that it might not be possible.

He ran two steps and went directly to the old lady's room. "Did I wake you up?"

The old lady was very upset when she was woken up. This family is becoming more and more unruly. Before, no one dared to make a noise in the middle of the night and disturb others' sweet dreams. Now, seeing that she is lying down and cannot get up, she wants to rebel, right?

"Who was talking in the yard just now?"

The eldest son's wife could hear the irritation in her mother's tone, and tried to sound calm so as not to let her find fault.

"It's the eldest brother and the second uncle who have returned. They are both covered in mud and look very cold. There was a loud thunder just now, and they must have been very scared."

The old lady wanted to lose her temper, but when she thought about the two men who went to the mountain to make chairs and got covered in mud, she couldn't hold back.

But they just need to wash the mud off their bodies. Why is there still movement in the kitchen? Could they be boiling water? I have already told them not to boil hot water and told them to use cold water. But the daughter-in-law dared to act on her own. She is really getting too arrogant. Today I will let her know what the mother-in-law's style is.

"Are you boiling water in the kitchen?"

The eldest son’s wife saw that something was not right, but she couldn’t let her mother misunderstand her. If she felt wronged, she would have to explain it properly and pretend to be helpless and wronged.

"Mom, it was the eldest brother and the second uncle who insisted on taking a hot bath. I told them that I wanted to take a cold bath, but they refused to listen."

"They said he had caught a cold and was frightened, and then he took a cold shower. He became sick and couldn't get up and work the next day. What should I do?"
