Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 164 The Lan family’s daily routine of urging marriage

Speaking of wedding invitations, Lan Qiuchen has suffered a lot this year, as her family has been urging her to get married. They even resorted to the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain, asking Lan Qiuchen to accompany her "uncomfortable" sister-in-law back to her parents' home, and then the Lan family's parents went to the mountains to find Sang Yue.

Even though she is a noble person, she cannot prevent her daughter from getting married and having children!

Although Lan Qiuchen repeatedly explained and emphasized that she had not found the right partner yet. But in the eyes of the Lan family, this must mean that those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black, so close that the thoughts of those who do not marry are affected.

It would be great if the Sang family nobles are willing to help with some advice, but if they don't want to, that's okay.

As long as the nobles simply expel their daughter, their family can help hire a loyal and honest woman to take care of her and provide her with hygiene and cooking.

This plan was very good, but the timing was wrong and it fell through.

Outsiders can only see one of Lan Qiuchen and Sang Yue, and there is almost no chance to see both of them at the same time. The Lan family's parents rang the doorbell for a long time outside the iron gate, while facing the two giant dogs inside the iron gate with fear.

The giant dog was lying leisurely in the middle of the mountain road in Zhali, glancing here from time to time. There were four other little dogs standing scattered in front of the iron gate, staring at the couple eagerly.

In this kind of atmosphere, the courage of the Lan family's parents could not last long. They pressed the button for a few minutes and left without anyone listening. I planned to go back to the village to take a look. Maybe Sang Guiren came to the village to visit, and called Lan Qiuchen on the way to test.

It was said that my parents went back to the village to visit their uncle and aunt, and brought a turtle to the Sang family on the way, but I don’t know where Sang Guiren went.

"Ah? Ah Sang is not at home. He went on a trip. He may come back soon." Lan Qiuchen realized that his family was playing tricks on him and said angrily, "You bought turtle? Just in time, I want to drink turtle tonight." Soup!"

"Drink, drink, drink," Lan's mother became even more annoyed, "Your father and I picked it up when we went to your second aunt's house for a wedding banquet. When you get married, mom will cook turtle soup for you every day! If you don't get married in one day, you will hide. Drink the star anise water in the mountains."

After saying that, he hung up angrily.

The daughter is pregnant, and the neighbors secretly say that the child will fall into the hands of her parents and will not be able to get married. Every time they met in public, someone would inevitably ask about it, which made the couple feel uncomfortable.

Since the nobleman was neither at home nor in the village, the couple returned to the town carrying a fresh pork belly and turtle to return to their son.

In the local area, visiting relatives usually only requires a piece of pork or a live chicken. Ke Sang's family raises chickens on the mountain. I don't know what my daughter feeds on weekdays. The meat quality of those chickens and ducks is better than that of any chicken farm down the mountain.

Buying a live chicken from outside and delivering it as a gift doesn't taste good and you can't refuse it. It's just causing trouble for others.

After the couple discussed it, they fished a turtle and pork belly from their son's restaurant. Afraid that Sang Guiren would not touch Yang Chun Shui, the couple even planned to work as a cook for her for a day, so that everything could be discussed easily.

Unexpectedly, the other party was not at home. It doesn’t matter, there’s a long way to go, and you’ll always find opportunities…

There was a lot of excitement on the parents' side, while Lan Qiuchen stared at the phone with the corner of her mouth curled up.

Hey, doesn’t it mean that if she doesn’t get married, she won’t have anything to drink?

When I return to the city later, I immediately pack up a pot of star anise, ah no, it’s turtle soup and go back to the mountains to drink it slowly. But pitifully, she is an older, unmarried girl. Everywhere she goes, she encounters the teachings of her elders and the words urging her to get married.

"Women, you must have a family and find a man to take care of you..." On the way home, my sister-in-law took the trouble to repeat the good words of life passed down by the older generation.

"Who takes care of whom between you and my brother?" Lan Qiuchen glanced coldly.

Fortunately, Asang returned to the manor to practice, otherwise it would have been very disturbing to see his parents come to visit.

One wave of trouble after another, never ending.

"Take care of each other!" My sister-in-law is not stupid and is quick to respond. "No matter whether a man or a woman gets married, they should take care of each other, right?"

Lan Qiuchen remained silent and continued to look at her coldly. I'm just kidding, do you think she doesn't know what her brother-in-law's family is like now that she has established a new family? As she gradually became familiar with the ways of the world, she discovered that women took care of the entire family at her parents', brothers' and sister-in-law's homes, and she never stopped taking care of them.

Of course, it’s not that dad and brother didn’t work, but they did very little!

In the past, when my grandparents still lived in the village, men and women would work in the fields. Once they got home, the men would sit on the benches and smoke or chat.

Women continue to do housework non-stop and cook for the whole family.

They were from the generation of parents and grandparents, and the generation of brothers and sisters-in-law were similar. For example, when a couple opens a restaurant, the money belongs to the Lan family. Initially, it was the eldest brother who found connections to apply for licenses, purchase goods, hire chefs, etc.

When the hotel got on the right track, I became a hands-off shopkeeper.

There was nothing else to do during the day except greeting customers and paying bills. I met some so-called guests from all over the world and had a great time chatting. Soon they became brothers, and then they went outside to find a stall to continue drinking and talking about politics.

No one at home knew what they were talking about, and it had nothing to do with the restaurant anyway.

In short, her brother's little life was free and easy.

On the other hand, my sister-in-law, from the time she opened the store to the present, first worked as a waiter, vegetable washer, and dishwasher in the store in order to save money. After her husband went out to chat with regular customers and friends, she sat at the door and worked as a cashier.

If the children refuse to eat at grandma's house and find the store, she has to take care of the children's food, drink, homework, and safety.

To be honest, if he were not his biological brother, Lan Qiuchen would really want to persuade his sister-in-law to seize power and become the boss herself. Especially when the elderly and children at home are sick, it is my sister-in-law who goes to the hospital to visit and take care of them.

When my sister-in-law is sick, she always asks her sister-in-law to accompany her to the hospital. My brother only takes her to the doctor very rarely.

The question is that he has to look after the store or is out of town for something and cannot accompany him.

This is all true. Her brother's busyness in the store is obvious to everyone. But Lan Qiuchen just felt unhappy, but she didn't know where she was.

Sometimes, my sister-in-law is sick and takes medicine to rest at home, while her brother comes home very drunk at night and has to force her to get up and take care of him. In the final analysis, the harmonious family in the eyes of outsiders depends entirely on the sister-in-law's forbearance and indifference.

As the sister-in-law, she is a vested interest in this harmonious family, so it is difficult to say anything. She envied her eldest brother for having such a virtuous wife as his sister-in-law, but she didn't want to be such a virtuous wife. It was too tiring.

"Can't you think of something good?" The elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and the sister-in-law is somewhat aware of her sister-in-law's thoughts. She was so angry that she hit her a few times, "Maybe your life is better than mine, and you can meet someone who will hold you high. The man in the palm of your hand.”

This sentence is also repeated over and over again by the older generation. Many women believe it and die after trying it.

Lan Qiuchen curled her lips and said disapprovingly:

"I don't have to carry on the family line, and I'm not taking advantage of you at home, so don't worry. You and Brother are interfering together, and don't let your parents go up the mountain to trouble Asang. She is already annoyed enough. You don't know what happened to her sister a while ago. .”

The sister-in-law choked and sighed:

"Well, rich people tend to fight for power and profit. Fortunately, our family doesn't have this problem. In fact, if Asang got married early, her family might not dare to treat her like this. Men usually seem useless, but at critical moments Standing at the door is a woman's confidence."

Lan Qiuchen looked at the sky speechlessly: "..."
