my home is in the northeast

21. Challenge

The old couple of the Wu family also tasted a piece each. The old lady is not very interested in these things, especially the ones made by her daughter-in-law's family, with a bit of contempt.Although I was a little surprised at the entrance, my face was still lukewarm.

Instead, the old man took a bite and praised again and again, "My in-law's sauce meat is really good. With such a taste, I'm afraid the business will be very good in the future."

"Thank you for your auspicious words, Dad." Zhang Yuping smiled happily.

She married herself pretty well, if she didn't think about her picky mother-in-law.Although her husband is not as good as before she got married, he treats her well, and her son is also smart.Now she is worried about her mother's family.

If her natal parents and younger siblings can live well, then she really has nothing to complain about in her life.

The old lady next to her ate a few mouthfuls of food slowly. Seeing her wife adoring her in-laws so much, she couldn't help but say, "Yeah, get rich early, and pay back the money you owe."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly froze.

The old man frowned, "What are you talking about, it's only tens of thousands of dollars, and it's not given to others, but to in-laws."

"Tens of thousands of dollars? You said it lightly, how many tens of thousands of dollars do you have in your family?" After being reprimanded by the old man, the old lady also became angry, "With that money, I still want to buy something for Xiaoru. Where's the mink?"

"She wears sables for you to buy, why does her own man use them?" The old man snorted, "Don't say such things."

"you……"

"Dad, Mom, we will pay back the money as soon as possible." Zhang Yuping said softly.

Xiaoru is her eldest sister-in-law, Wu Lide's biological sister, who is two years older than Wu Lide.

In fact, this elder sister is married well. The man runs a company. He makes money and spends money. He has worked hard over the years to earn a lot of money.

The old lady is always talking about the girl's good marriage, buy this and that for her, and the daughter-in-law married such a poor one, and the family still owes the famine.

Among them, there is no lack of this elder sister-in-law who picks things up. In short, after so many years of marriage, the daughter-in-law's family is still so poor, and the old lady looks down on her more and more.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law had said this, the old man immediately glared at his wife, and then slowed down his tone, "Yuping, the money is not in a hurry, and your mother and I don't need it. Besides, we are all a family. So what if you don’t pay it back, it’s only 2 yuan.”

The old lady wanted to say something, but she was glared at by the old man, so she stopped talking, but her face was somber throughout the meal.

She said again, I'm afraid the old man will turn his back on him first.

Although the Wu family is not very rich, it is really not short of this little money. At the beginning, Wu Lide took the initiative to tell his parents about the money. The main reason was that the couple did not have much money back then. Although she doesn't have to hand in her own salary, it's her money to buy vegetables and cook meals, and it costs a lot for her child to go to kindergarten, so she doesn't have any savings.

Next to him, Wu Lide remained silent while eating, but he also knew that his eldest sister must be chewing her tongue in his mother's ear again.Since he and his eldest sister are not much different in age, their relationship has been normal since they were young. In addition, his eldest sister can speak well and has a good relationship with his mother. On the contrary, Wu Lide has the same personality as the old man, with an intellectual temperament, so he doesn't like these things very much. Family chores.

Before he and Zhang Yuping got married, his elder sister Wu Xiaoru once introduced him to a girlfriend, but he had already known Zhang Yuping at that time, and they felt very good with each other.Naturally, she declined the eldest sister's introduction.

As a result, Wu Xiaoru added fuel and jealousy in front of her mother, saying that her friend is so good, sensible and filial, the key point is that her family is rich, and she has a good relationship with many leaders in the county.After marrying my younger brother in the future, it will definitely save my younger brother 20 years of struggle.

In fact, this friend is not hers, but a man she met through business. He has good conditions and a wide relationship. Wu Xiaoru's husband has always wanted to establish a relationship with him, so he turned his brains on his brother-in-law.

The old lady loves her daughter and naturally loves her son. Hearing that the woman's conditions are so good, she naturally forces her son to go on a blind date.

As a result, Wu Lide had no intention of meeting the other party at all. After the meeting, he directly said that he had a girlfriend and was about to get married, and rejected it.

Wu Xiaoru didn't talk about this marriage, and naturally she didn't get the benefits she deserved to help her man. From then on, she regarded Zhang Yuping as a thorn in her side.

When Zhang Yuping was brought home by Wu Lide, the old lady was full of dissatisfaction. How could a girl from a poor family help her son?

On the contrary, the old man had a good impression of the Zhang family. He was honest and honest, and he was also very upright. Moreover, Zhang Yuping was the eldest daughter of the Zhang family and was very capable.The old man only had such a son, and he was asked to work in the county government, so he naturally wanted to inquire about the character of his future daughter-in-law. This inquiry was very satisfactory, and he discussed everything with Zhang Changgui on the spot.

Zhang Yuping was 23 years old at the time, and she had two 15-year-old twin sisters and a younger brother who had just entered the first grade of junior high school.With so many children in the family, and all of them are studying in school, the burden is naturally heavy, and the conditions are considered very bad.

The old man of the Wu family was very satisfied with Zhang Yuping, and he also had a good impression of her three younger siblings, especially Zhang Yuhe, the youngest.Although he was only twelve years old, he studied well and skipped a grade.He also has red lips and white teeth, which made the old man envy Zhang Changgui.

The old man of the Wu family originally planned to give a dowry of [-] according to the conditions at that time, which was considered very good on their side at that time.This also means that the old man is optimistic about the Zhang family.

But Zhang Changgui refused on the spot.

At that time, the old lady of the Wu family felt uncomfortable, and eighty-eight thousand was too little?Crazy poor?

But then Zhang Changgui said that their family was poor and couldn't give much dowry. After all, there were three children behind and they had to continue studying.So this dowry can't be too much.

Now the Wu family couple were dumbfounded, and it was at that time that the old lady sighed and agreed to Zhang Yuping to come in.

It's just that Zhang Yuping has been married for so many years, and the Zhang family hasn't seen much improvement. They are still so poor, and even poorer.Although he was poor back then, at least he had no foreign debts due to his craftsmanship. As a result, the second daughter of the Zhang family made a fuss five years ago, which completely collapsed the Zhang family. Not only did the family lose their money, but they also owed foreign debts.

The old lady of the Wu family even gossips when she has nothing to do at home. If she knew that making troubles would make her rich, it would be better if Zhang Yuping also went to make troubles and didn't have to bring such a small dowry to marry in.

Because of this, Zhang Yuping secretly cried several times, and the old man of the Wu family even got angry on the spot, scolding his wife for not speaking like a mother-in-law.

After finishing the meal in silence, Zhang Yuping packed the dishes and went to the kitchen to tidy up. The old man dragged the old lady into the room to talk.Wu Lide let his son watch TV in the living room, and quietly came to the kitchen.

"Yuping..."

"Hey, why did you come to the kitchen?" The old lady of the Wu family never let her man and son into the kitchen, saying that this is a place for women, and gentlemen stay away from the kitchen.When the young couple first got married, Wu Lide and Zhang Yuping had a good relationship, hiding in the kitchen and making a meal together was considered fun, but the old lady scolded them a few times and both of them put down the idea.After they had a child again, the two of them didn't have such thoughts anymore. Zhang Yuping hadn't seen Wu Lide enter the kitchen again for so many years, at most he just wanted to see what dishes were available.

"Yuping, you have worked hard for so many years." Wu Lide wrapped Zhang Yuping's waist from behind and whispered in his ear.

Zhang Yuping trembled all over, and said with a smile, "Old couple, what are you talking about?"

"I know that when you marry, you are not enjoying the blessings, but suffering. In fact, I secretly saved some money. Although it is less than [-] yuan, it is almost the same. When the time comes, let's return the money to Mom first."

Half of Wu Lide's salary is given to his parents, and half is collected by himself, but most of it is responsible for the children's tuition fees, and basically there is nothing left.The more than 1 yuan has really been saved by him for a long time.

Zhang Yuping nodded, and stretched out her hand to push her husband, "There's water everywhere, go out and watch TV."

Wu Lide smiled and went out, Zhang Yuping turned her back to her husband with red eyes, but at this moment she was very sweet in her heart.

Zhang Yuping is actually a very contented person, as long as she is a little nice to her, she will be content.At this moment, she deeply felt that after all, she did not love the wrong person back then.
