I just want to live in peace

Chapter 36 36. A $200 Bargain
Ye Xiaodan paused for a moment. Next to the sofa were the thermal underwear and shoes she bought for her in-laws, which had not been opened yet.The in-laws were wearing Xiang Quan's newly bought down jackets, and she told her daughter, "Take them all back. I'll take them back to the mall, but I can't return them. Change them to the size your grandparents wore."

Sun Mingxi happily agreed: "Okay! Mom, let's give these things to grandma and grandpa, and grandma will cook more delicious food for me."

After hearing this, Sun's mother held her breath and said fiercely: "It's just a cheap item of 200 yuan, so we don't like it, so we don't know how to wear it."

Dad Sun stretched his sleeves: "The down jacket that Xiaojing bought us for thousands of dollars is good. We wear it out, and the villagers will be envious."

Ye Xiaodan didn't pay any attention, just lowered his head and went about his own business
Sun Xiangyang watched her put the food crisper into a big bag, and sighed softly. With his parents like this, he couldn't persuade his wife to continue to be nice to his parents.

Zhang Jing glanced at her husband, Sun: "Your parents have high standards. My parents often wear cheap clothes that cost 200 yuan at work."

"Don't pay attention to them. In the past few years, my brother and I have been working in a big city, and I almost don't know what my last name is after burning them." Sun Xiangquan glared at his parents, and only now did he realize how unreasonable these two people are.

Father Sun and Mother Sun looked at the empty plates, a pot of Buddha jumping over the wall, and a dish of eight-treasure duck left on the table that was full just now, and were a little stunned.

Ye Xiaodan picked up the empty plates: "Xixi, help mom take these empty plates to the kitchen. Mom will clean them and restore them to their original state. Let's go."

"Okay." Sun Mingxi piled up the empty plates on the table.

Sun Mingrui whispered, "Sister, are you going back to your own home?"

Sun Mingxi said loudly: "Of course. I was spoiled like a treasure by my mother at my house. I can eat whatever I want. My mother doesn't dislike me as a girl, and doesn't let me work. Why am I being angry and troubled here? ?”

Sun Mingrui watched her enter the kitchen with a plate, and said to Zhang Jing, "Mom, I'm hungry, so let's eat Buddha Tiaoqiang and Eight Treasure Duck?"

Sun Mingxu also said: "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat dumplings stuffed with mutton."

Zhang Jing comforted him: "Mom will make you a cup of milk powder first."

"I don't drink milk powder, I want to eat vegetables and dumplings."

Grandma patted her grandson: "Good grandson, grandma will prepare a lot of dishes for you tomorrow."

Sun Mingxu quit: "No! I want to eat right now."

Sun Mingrui slapped him on the shoulder: "Why are you arguing? Tomorrow, let's go back to my grandparents' house in Shanghai and give you enough to eat."

Father Sun came back to his senses and asked Zhang Jing: "Xiao Jing, didn't you agree that you will stay in your hometown for a few more days this time?"

Zhang Jing was ambiguous: "Oh."

"Mom, if you want to live, you can. I'm a girl, not from the old Sun's family. I'll take a taxi back to Shanghai." Sun Mingrui got up.

Zhang Jing grabbed her and said, "Let's go, let's go together."

Grandma Sun cried: "It's New Year's Eve, what are you doing? Ye Xiaodan is not filial, do you want to learn from her?"

Sun Mingrui said loudly: "Is it because the aunt is not filial? The aunt bought good food, worked in the kitchen all afternoon, served it to you, and almost fed it to your mouth. You think she can't give birth to a son, and she doesn't work well. , think she buys you cheap goods, if I were an aunt, I would ignore you at all."

Sun Xiangquan reprimanded: "Ruirui, why are you talking to grandparents?"

Sun Mingrui snorted: "Dad, you just open your mouth here. At grandma and grandpa's house, you still knew how to carry the dishes and sweep the floor. Why did you come here and let the aunt do it all by herself? "

Sun Xiangquan scratched his head, he was so blocked that he couldn't answer.

Zhang Jing was at a loss and looked at him: "What should I do now?"

Sun Xiangquan licked his lips: "Ming Xu wants to eat dumplings, I'll cook the dumplings. I just boil water to put the dumplings, I can do this job." He rushed into the kitchen.

in the kitchen.

Sun Xiangquan found a pot to boil water to cook dumplings, but found that his sister-in-law Ye Xiaodan was filling dumplings in a crisper.He rubbed his nose: "Sister-in-law, why do you buy so many fresh-keeping boxes?"

Ye Xiaodan glanced at him: "In the past, your parents often talked about the bad food in the village, so I made it and asked them to bring it when they came back."

Sun Xiangquan laughed: "My mother's cooking skills are mediocre. I heard from my brother that every time they live with you for a long time, when they come back, you prepare fish and meat for them to bring back, so that my parents Freeze in the refrigerator and eat slowly."

Ye Xiaodan was noncommittal. In the past, she thought it was right for a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law, but she never thought that her parents-in-law would not appreciate her efforts at all.She has done so much, but she was not recognized, and she was also dismissed as a broom star.Such in-laws are not worth what she pays.

Sun Xiangquan watched Ye Xiaodan put all the dumplings into the fresh-keeping box, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, Mingxu wants to eat dumplings filled with mutton. He is a child and has been hungry for a long time. You can save some for him!"

Ye Xiaodan paused, took out eight dumplings and handed them over on a plate: "Ming Xu is only four years old, no matter how good his appetite is, these are enough."

"Ming Rui likes dumplings stuffed with mutton."

Ye Xiaodan closed the crisper: "Mingrui is a big girl now, she understands the truth. There is still food at home, these dumplings are not bad."

Sun Xiangquan licked his face: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry too! I also like to eat your mutton stuffed dumplings, so you can keep these for me!"

"Xiang Quan, it's not that my sister-in-law didn't keep it for you, it's that my sister-in-law took a long time to make these mutton stuffed dumplings. You have to chop the stuffing and roll out the skin. Your family may think it's nothing, but I don't want to bother, so I just take it back and give it to Xiangyang or someone else. My parents eat."

"Sister-in-law, why do you do this? Although my parents have said too much, we are still a family. "

Ye Xiaodan's attitude was indifferent: "Right now, Xiangyang and Xixi are the only ones in my family. Whether I'm in the same family as you or not is up to you."

Sun Xiangquan was surprised: "Sister-in-law, don't you really ignore my parents from now on?"

"I didn't say no, I just said that the two families are half filial. How do you treat your parents? We treat them the same. It's just that our family's financial situation is not as good as yours. We will do our best."

"Sister-in-law, why are you like this? We have a long life! We still have to get along."

Ye Xiaodan smiled: "The days are long! Xiang Quan, in the past, we were responsible for your parents' household affairs, and now it's your turn. The future is long, don't worry, take it easy!"

When Sun Xiangquan heard that there was a sense of gloating in her words, his head suddenly grew bigger.When she said that, it showed that she really wanted to leave her parents to him.

Ye Xiaodan took the packed lunch box and the gift she bought for her in-laws earlier, and called Xixi to go out.

Father Sun saw that she was going out with big bags and small bags, knew she was coming, and was anxious: "Boss daughter-in-law, if you go out like this, the whole village will know that you are not filial to the elderly."

Ye Xiaodan turned his head and said: "It's right to be filial to the elderly, but you look down on me and always criticize me with double standards. No matter what I do, I can't satisfy you, and I can't care about the name of filial piety."

Grandma Sun looked outside in panic. If people outside saw the eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter running away from home on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Sun family would lose face.She threatened: "Ye Xiaodan, think about it clearly. If you leave this house, you will never come back again."

Ye Xiaodan smiled lightly: "I have to work hard every time I come back, and I'm exhausted when I go back. In the future, I will save so much hard work."

Father Sun was furious, pointing at the door: "Get lost!"

Ye Xiaodan pushed open the door and walked out. Sun Mingxi followed closely behind her. When she went out, she made a disgusted expression to them.

Sun Ma covered her head and moaned: "Xiangyang, this is the good wife you married!"

Grandfather sighed: "The family is unfortunate! There is such an unfilial daughter-in-law!"

Zhang Jing glanced at them, curled her lips, and said to Sun Xiangyang: "Brother, if you really let my sister-in-law walk out of this door today, don't expect her to come back in the future."

Sun Xiangyang came to his senses and chased him out: "Xiao Dan, wait for me."
