"Yingying, it's hard for you to rest for two days. Don't wash the dishes and let Cui Cui wash them. Take a good rest!" Wang said to the eldest daughter who took away the dishes.

"That's right, sister, go and rest, I'll do the washing." Cui Cui took the bowl from her sister's hand very sensiblely.

Mrs. Zhuang curled her lips, "It's just washing the dishes, how can it be tiresome? She usually works in the shop, so she doesn't have access to such housework. If she doesn't do it for a long time, she must forget it all. Married people are indispensable." I will be called lazy by my mother-in-law."

She can't see her son and daughter-in-law, because Yingying can do things in the city to make money, so she looks like she is supporting this girl.

Dan Yingying said with a smile: "How can you forget the things you have done since you were young! And as long as you are a woman who can earn money, even if you don't do these housework, you won't be scolded by your mother-in-law."

"Mother." Pu Yingying looked at her mother and called, "Do you still remember the sister Liu Ying you saw when you went to our shop last time?"

"Remember, is she already married?" Wang asked. When I went to the shop last time, I heard that she was getting married.

"Yeah." Pu Yingying nodded, "It was done last month. Her husband is a child. After getting married, sister Liu Ying rented a small yard in the city and let her parents-in-law live with them. Her father-in-law wants Looking at the fields in the village, she didn’t go. Her mother-in-law went, and she helped the husband and wife wash and cook every day, let sister Liu Ying work hard, let her son study hard, and let her take care of everything in the house.”

"Then she is such a good mother-in-law." Wang Shi said and glanced at her mother-in-law, such a sensible mother-in-law is rare.

The old lady Zhuang frowned and said: "She is married, and her husband's family still allows her to work in the shop? Her husband is a scholar, don't you think she shows her face?"

"Why not? The treatment in our shop is so good. Before sister Liu Ying got married, she was just promoted to the deputy shopkeeper, and her monthly basic salary is so much!" Dan Yingying stretched out five fingers.

"Five taels?" Wang smacked her tongue.

"Yeah." Dan Yingying nodded, "Including commissions and performance bonuses, it's all about seven taels of silver. Who would be willing to let go of such a good job!"

Wang: "That's true. I can't bear it. These days, an ordinary woman can earn six or seven taels of silver a month. That's really rare! Many families can't earn this amount in a year!"

Dan Yingying continued: "And now many people are proud of being able to work in the shop and factory that our county lord has taken over, so they don't feel ashamed to show their faces! The employees in our shop are basically the same when they are old. They are all readers!"

Mrs. Zhuang's face was very ugly, "No matter how good a job is, it's not impossible to do it when you are pregnant with a child."

No matter how capable a woman is, she can only do it until she gives birth to a child.

"It can be done." Dan Yingying said, "We have maternity leave, we can take it for half a year, and we can also get basic wages during the maternity leave. After giving birth, we can continue to go back to work in the shop after confinement."

"That's great!" Mrs. Wang clapped her hands.

Dan Yingying raised her chin proudly and said, "Only we, Shen Ji, have such good treatment."

"Who will take care of the child?" Mrs. Zhuang asked.

Pu Yingying said: "Give me the money and let the mother-in-law take it. When many sisters in our shop talk about their marriage, they always make an agreement with the matchmaker. If they are allowed to go to work after they get married, the mother-in-law should help take care of the children. "

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. The right way is for a man to lead outside and a woman to lead inside. Women are supposed to care for their husbands and children, take care of the house and be filial to their parents-in-law. Those people in your shop want to take care of the outside and let the mother-in-law help with housework It's against common sense to bring up a child, it's really absurd, absurd..." Mrs. Zhuang said, patting the table emotionally.

Wang rolled her eyes shallowly, "What's ridiculous? My husband is happy, my parents-in-law are happy, what's so absurd?"

"I don't care what other people do, Yingying, if you get married, you won't be able to go out and show your face, so I'll give you the job to your eldest cousin." Granny Zhuang said in an orderly tone.

"No, I will continue to do things after I become a relative. Even if I really can't do it, I will let Cuicui do it, so I won't let anyone else do it." After speaking, Yingying turned and left the house.

"This damn girl..."

Pu Er Er, who kept silent all the time, frowned and said: "Mother, our Yingying got this job by virtue of his ability, and it doesn't mean that we can give it to anyone. Even if we really want to give it up, it will be given to our own family." People will not give it up to outsiders!"

Mrs. Zhuang: "Where is A Yuan an outsider? That's Yingying's cousin, your nephew."

"Mother, we have separated a long time ago. This is the second room. A Yuan is my nephew. That is only a relative, and I am not in the same family." Pu Er Er raised his voice.

Logically speaking, the family has been separated, and the old woman should live with the eldest, but the eldest said that there are too many children in their family, and the house is not enough to live in, so they let the old woman live in the second room, and the eldest house will give food and pension money every month. The old-age money was given directly to the old lady. I don't know if the big house gave it to him, but the food has not been given for more than half a year.

But as for his old lady, she lives in the second room and always thinks about the first room. He doesn't talk about many things, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care.

Seeing that her son was upset, Mrs. Zhuang stopped talking, but she felt very unhappy. After a while, she began to sigh and say: "Hey, I am old, useless, and despised by others."

Whenever something happened to her that didn't go according to her wishes, and she didn't follow her words, it would be like this. Pu Laoer and his wife had seen too much, and they were used to it, so they ignored her and went out of the main room directly.

Dan Yingying planned to walk around the village, but when she was about to go home after walking halfway through the village, she saw Aunt Zhao with a bruised nose and bloody hands pulling grass and herbs by the side of the slope, apparently trying to compress her wounds.

"Aunt Zhao." Pu Yingying walked over.

"It's Yingying, hiss..." Mrs. Zhao wanted to smile at her, but when she smiled, she tore the wound on her face, causing her to grin her teeth in pain.

"Aunt Zhao, are you okay?" Pu Yingying looked at her worriedly and asked.

"Fortunately, Yingying is now like a girl in the city, so pretty." Zhao looked at Danyingying enviously, and was also happy for her.

Pu Yingying looked around and saw no one around, she looked at Zhao solemnly and said, "Aunt Zhao, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought about leaving?"

Mrs. Zhao said bitterly: "I am married and follow my husband. I am a member of the Pu family. What if I don't live like this for the rest of my life? My natal parents think I am ashamed. Where can I go as a weak girl if I leave the Pu family? "

Because she never gave birth to a child after she got married, everyone said she was a hen that didn't lay eggs, which also affected the marriages of the next few younger sisters. So she was also rejected by her natal parents, who felt that she was a shame for the family, and when they saw the injuries on her body, they never saw them.

If she took the initiative to complain, she would only get one sentence: "You deserve it, who made you unable to have children! If you are the queen of others, you deserve to be beaten to death."

"There's somewhere to go."

"What?" Zhao raised her head.

Dan Yingying said firmly: "If you want to leave and get rid of the life of being beaten every day, there is a place to go."

Zhao: "..."
