The good wife and mother worked herself to death, and was reborn to win the game
Chapter 17 I want to go to your house for dinner
Li Shuping cared about her just like she did in her previous life, and Jiang Wan was deeply touched.
In the past, she didn’t know how to be grateful, couldn’t tell good from bad, didn’t know who was good from evil, who was real from fake.
People in this era are not well-off.
Most of them are from rural areas, and their annual income is very limited, relying on the harvest from the fields.
Li Shuping made chicken soup for her this afternoon. Needless to say, she killed a chicken at home.
Although land is now distributed to each household, there is no longer a limit on the number of chickens that can be raised.
However, farmers usually only kill chickens during the New Year and other festivals.
There is still more than a month to the Chinese New Year, and it's not a festival yet, so Li Shuping said she would send her chicken soup, so she killed a chicken immediately.
Just for this friendship, this person can get along.
Li Shuping was afraid that she would fall, so she took her arm and helped her sit on the chair.
"Aunt, I'm here not only to return the incubator, but also to discuss something important with you."
Jiang Wan looked around vigilantly, intending to show the importance of the matter.
"My family and I are on the same page and won't tell anyone. What's going on?"
Jiang Wan had not been close to Li Shuping in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about her family affairs, so he did this in vain.
Now that I have her guarantee, I can speak it out with confidence.
"Aunt, it's like this. My nephews have been very restless recently. They moved their hands while I was working and almost tripped me several times."
"I am now in my advanced stage of pregnancy and I really can't work anymore. I don't dare to take the risk. I called Cheng Jinnian yesterday and asked him to come back before the 25th."
"But before he came back, I was unsure. I didn't want to work anymore, but I had to eat. Once I started working, the whole family depended on me to do the work."
Jiang Wan sighed heavily and said helplessly.
Li Shuping understood the meaning of her words and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Their family conditions are only average, but there are quite a few people eating at home.
Their monthly income is limited, and if there are more people to feed at home, it will be a huge burden on their family.
And it is not taken for one or two days, but for half a month or even more than 20 days.
Cooking is not a big deal, it’s just a matter of using an extra pair of chopsticks.
But she felt bad if she let a pregnant woman eat the same thing as them.
If I buy meat and eggs for her, our family cannot afford it given their financial situation.
She wanted to refuse but couldn't bear to do so because Jiang Wan was having such a hard time.
She saw all her suffering, and as they were both women, she naturally couldn't bear to see her suffer.
She even secretly thought in her heart that if Jiang Wan was her daughter-in-law, she would definitely treat her very well.
Such a strong, kind and capable girl, whoever marries her will be blessed.
It’s a pity that their family doesn’t have such luck and can’t marry such a good daughter-in-law.
"You should know my family's financial situation. It's actually not as good as yours, but if you don't mind, I can cook your meals every day."
Despite all the difficulties, Li Shuping was reluctant to let her down.
And it will only take a month at most. It will pass if you grit your teeth.
At worst, I can use my previous savings and I’ll definitely be able to cope with it.
"Aunt, I don't eat and drink for free. I give you money. I will eat three meals a day at your house. How about giving you one dollar a day? Isn't that too little?"
In the early 80s, capable men could only earn 1 yuan a day working, while women could only earn 2 yuan or even 8 cents.
Jiang Wan naturally knew that one dollar a day for food was not a small amount, but she couldn't take advantage of her aunt.
The reason why she didn't mention money at the beginning was that she wanted to see what Li Shuping's attitude towards her was.
She would not refuse to pay, but she would cherish for the rest of her life a person who does not ask for money and is willing to let her eat and drink for free.
This is a hard-earned friendship, which is very precious in this day and age.
"No, no, no, one dollar is too much. Just give me thirty dollars a day."
Li Shuping quickly waved her hand. She had never thought about collecting money at first.
Jiang Wan offered to give it to her, so how could she have the nerve to ask for so much?
Moreover, Jiang Wan did farm work at home every day, and every time there was a harvest from the fields, the money was taken away by her parents-in-law.
She also heard that the salary that Cheng Jinnian sent back every month was all managed by his mother, and Jiang Wan couldn't get a penny.
These words were said by Jiang Wan's mother-in-law Wei Mingxiang when she was showing off outside.
She said that her son was filial and sent all the money he earned back to her every month, otherwise she really couldn't afford to raise all her grandchildren.
She also said that she was lucky to have a very capable daughter-in-law.
Even though her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she still had to work in the fields, and no amount of persuasion was helpful.
She also said that her cooking was not delicious and that she had allergic rhinitis and could not help sneezing as soon as she entered the kitchen. Her daughter-in-law felt sorry for her and had been cooking for the whole family since she got married.
As for other things, Wei Mingxiang also said a lot when she was proud.
At that time, everyone advised her that she was still young and should help with some work while her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Wei Mingxiang won't fall for it, and won't listen to them.
She didn't have to worry about making money or doing housework over the years. Although the eldest and second sons left behind eight grandchildren for her to raise, she was a complete hands-off boss.
That's why she takes good care of herself. Even though she is in her fifties, her hands are smoother and more tender than those of people in their forties.
She eats well and sleeps well every day, and the skin on her face is whiter and more delicate than that of ordinary people.
Considering that most women of this age have spots on their faces, their complexions are very dark, and many even have severe dark circles under their eyes.
But Wei Mingxiang didn't do that. She often went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town to buy the most popular skin care products, and sometimes she had to queue up to buy them.
She was wiping her face and protecting her hands. Although she was old, there were only a few wrinkles on her face.
In contrast, Jiang Wan was still a pretty young lady when she got married.
She is very pretty, tall and slim, a rare beauty in the area.
She has been married to Cheng Jinnian for eight years and still has no children of her own. However, she is aging at a visible speed because she does heavy housework every day and takes care of eight nephews and nieces.
She originally had a baby-like appearance and looked very young.
Now the fatigue on his face can't be hidden at all, and there are a few more crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. He looks much older.
When other women are pregnant, they are taken care of by their families to have plump and rosy breasts.
Only she, as usual, took care of all the work at home and in the fields by herself.
"Aunt, if I give you one dollar, you can cook me a meal that costs one dollar. If I give you thirty dollars, you can cook me a meal that costs thirty dollars."
"Actually, I gave one dollar because I wanted to eat better and have some nutrition, so that the baby in my belly will be healthier when it is born. Don't you think so, auntie?"
