Chapter 247 Chen Shuning Stays Overnight at Ji Xue's House
"No." Chen Shuning said firmly: "Brother, your mentality is wrong. You are already married and should put your sister-in-law first.
All the money you earn is used to support us. What will happen to you and your sister-in-law? Do you still want to have children? Big brother, you have to live a good life first, and then you can take care of us when you have enough energy. "
Chen Shuning has seen many examples of men neglecting their wives in order to take care of their families, which leads to discord between husband and wife. She doesn't want her own family to be so chaotic.
"Your brother now earns more money than before." Chen Jiaxing said proudly, "I can support you two and your sister-in-law as well."
Chen Jiawang shook his head and said, "That won't work, brother. Sooner or later, Shu Ning and I will have to be independent. We can't always rely on you. I know my sister-in-law is a good person.
But because she is a good person and knows how to care for you, I can't spend your money so comfortably. Our family treats my sister-in-law badly enough. "
Chen Shuning took over the conversation and echoed, "Other families marry their daughters-in-law with all the necessary preparations, but my eldest sister-in-law didn't. Big brother, don't act like a spoiled child just because you're making a lot of money now."
"understood--"
Although his sister rejected his proposal, Chen Jiaxing had already made up his mind to help his younger siblings no matter how much it cost.
Ji Xue was very moved when she heard what Chen Shuning and Chen Jiawang said outside the door.
She hadn't made a mistake. Although the Chen family's conditions weren't as good as her own, they were all reasonable. They were all daughters-in-law, but she was the only one who didn't have to endure the in-laws' bullying.
Ji Xue pushed open the door and walked in with a smile on her face. She held a few popsicles in her hand and shouted, "I bought them on the way back. Come and try them. Are they delicious?"
Chen Shuning happily took the popsicle and took a bite. The sweet popsicle melted in his mouth, dispelling the summer heat.
"Shuning, Jiawang, you must be careful about what you eat these days. Starting tomorrow, you are not allowed to eat anything cold, raw, or stale to avoid diarrhea during the exam."
Ji Xue took a bite of the popsicle and said, "I asked a teacher specifically. You can't use the restroom during the college entrance examination. You can't sit there for an hour or two.
On the day of the exam, don't drink too much water. I'll prepare some boiled water for you. Wait until you've finished answering most of the questions before drinking water."
"Sister-in-law, we'll remember that." Chen Shuning replied with a smile, "Thank you for helping us find out so much detail!"
"Why are you being so polite to my sister-in-law?" Ji Xue swallowed the last bite of her popsicle and said, "Come on, Shuning, I'll take you to take a shower. Your brother and I have built a small house in the yard where we can take a shower."
"Really?" Chen Shuning was a little surprised and said with a smile: "It was already dark when we came here, I didn't even notice it."
Ji Xue took out a new towel from the room, carried the washbasin and walked out. When she reached the door, she turned around and said to Chen Jiaxing, "Jiaxing, don't be idle either.
There's a mat in the closet. You can spread some of the bed board over it and put a mat on top. How can anyone sleep on this bare bed board? You can make do with it, but the second child still has to take an exam, can you make do with it?"
Chen Jiaxing waved his hand and said, "I know. I'll lay it out right away. You two can go quickly!"
The sound of running water could be heard in the yard. Ji Xue stood guard at the door with a flashlight, counting the stars in the sky. When the sound of water stopped, she said, "I ran into your high school teacher yesterday.
She asked me if I would take the college entrance examination. I told her that you and Jiawang would come, and she was so happy!
Chen Shuning wiped the water off his body and asked casually, "Teacher Ren?"
Ji Xue held her chin with one hand and replied in a low voice, "Yes, that's her. She said that out of all the students she taught, you were the most talented one. She asked me to tell you to prepare well for the exam."
"Teacher Ren is such a nice person. When I was studying, she often lamented that it was a pity that I couldn't go to university."
Chen Shuning put on his clothes, walked out, took the flashlight from Ji Xue's hand, and urged, "Sister-in-law, go and rush, I'll watch here."
The flashlight flashed across the roof, and Chen Shuning saw a black bucket that looked like it was made of plastic.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get the bucket?"
"You mean the one on the roof? Your brother brought it back. He said he saw it while delivering goods and brought back several of them. He then shared them with the factory leaders."
Chen Shuning smiled and nodded, thinking: My brother is really good, has he taken down all the leaders in the factory? No wonder he was transferred to the transportation team so easily.
"Shuning, Chen Qin has a tricycle and is selling boxed lunches on the street!" Ji Xue suggested, "I'll take you there tomorrow to try some and show my support for Chen Qin."
"I haven't seen Sister Qin for a long time." Chen Shuning leaned against the wall and said, "Is her stall busy?"
There was a sound of running water in the room. Ji Xue washed her face, looked up and said, "It's not bad! Her cooking tastes good and the portions are generous. I've eaten there a few times and her stall is quite busy."
"That's good. At least I have something to do, I can earn my own money and spend it myself, and I can stand firm."
"Teacher Zhou treats her well." Ji Xue muttered softly while washing her hair, "When Chen Qin is busy, Teacher Zhou is there to help, coaxing the children and tidying up the table."
"Has Liang Xiuhong ever made trouble in the past?"
"How dare she go over and cause trouble? She had a fight with Sun Zhiyuan, and Sun Zhiyuan said it himself. They were already involved before Liang Xiuhong divorced Wang Shan.
Liang Xiuhong's son wasn't born prematurely at all. She forced Wang Shan to divorce her because she was already pregnant by Sun Zhiyuan, and she had no choice but to divorce him.
"what?"
Chen Shuning couldn't believe what he heard. How could Liang Xiuhong be so bold?
"Sister-in-law, is this true? Isn't she afraid of the Revolutionary Committee arresting her and parading her through the streets? Isn't she afraid of being criticized?"
"Where is the Revolutionary Committee?" Ji Xue put on her clothes and walked out. "Don't you know? The higher-ups have issued a document disbanding the Revolutionary Committee."
Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully and muttered, "Dad seemed to have mentioned it before, but I forgot..."
"Oh, you're really focused on studying."
Ji Xue shouted into the house, "Jiaxing, it's time for you two to take a bath."
Chen Jiaxing and Chen Jiawang walked out one after another. Ji Xue pointed to the lock beside her and reminded them, "Lock the door after taking a shower."
Chen Shuning blinked, then saw the old face on the window next door and realized that it must be the old lady next door who was using it secretly, so the sister-in-law locked the door.
Actually, Ji Xue wasn't that stingy. It was mainly because the old lady next door was unreasonable. She was old, and if she fell inside, Ji Xue wouldn't be able to explain herself, let alone bear such a heavy responsibility.
Chen Shuning shone the flashlight, and the old lady lowered the curtains in fear.
Chen Shuning muttered, "She's so annoying, and her son doesn't even bother to discipline her."
Ji Xue walked into the house, found a set of clothes, and handed it to Chen Shuning: "Her son can't control it. Look, his daughter-in-law was driven away by this old lady.
A few days ago, my neighbor, Mr. Liu, went to his mother-in-law's house with some things to apologize, but his mother-in-law beat him out and said that as long as the old lady stayed there for one day, she would never let her daughter come back.
Chen Shuning raised his thumbs up: "Brother Liu's mother-in-law is great!"
