Capítulo 2011: Chapter 2012: Old Mrs. Zhang’s Seventies Rebirth—Transforming Her Ungrateful Children 43
Wei Dazhi sent away the crestfallen father-son trio, “What’s wrong with him today? Why did he go crazy again?”
Clearly, things were fine when moving house before, how co in the blink of an eye, it exploded, “Is it because his wife is secretly stirring things up again?”
If they really want to make a fuss, shouldn’t it have started on moving day? But there was no fuss that day, and now it suddenly flares up, there must be soone causing trouble behind the scenes.
“His wife hasn’t co back yet.” Zhang Yu pursed his lips, wondering if soone thinks their precious son turned out like this due to soone secretly stirring things up.
Upon hearing that Li Juan still hadn’t co back, Wei Dazhi’s expression unintentionally darkened, “How co she hasn’t returned yet?”
“All the household chores these days have been done by Wei He?” Wei Dazhi was dissatisfied with Li Juan, how could there be such an inconsiderate wife, it’s really too much.
Zhang Yu nodded, “Yeah, he’s been doing it all, which shows that when pushed to the limit, he can do quite well.”
“Didn’t Wei He say he couldn’t cook, but he’s been cooking these days, hasn’t he?”
“Getting up early to buy groceries, laundry, all has been taken care of, plus cleaning.”
“At New Year, when it was ti to clean the house, I made them work, do you rember how they responded?”
“They said they couldn’t do it, the situation was a ss, and we ended up doing the cleaning ourselves.”
“But now, isn’t it still getting done?”
“Don’t ddle in their affairs, if you ddle too much, they won’t appreciate it and will talk badly about you outside.”
“I know, I know, I’m just saying it in front of you.” Wei Dazhi imdiately stated.
“Don’t always think it’s the wife’s fault, actually, our son isn’t a great guy either. If they’re not willing, no matter how much pillow wind blows, will they change their minds easily?”
“Absolutely not, it’s fundantally their problem.”
“Haven’t we treated them well? Haven’t we sacrificed?”
“We believe we’ve been fair, actually, we didn’t achieve fairness, we believe we’re fair, but in their eyes, we’re biased.”
“They all think we’re biased toward the brothers, and they’ll wonder why we support Wei Xuan, considering she’s a married daughter.”
“Wei Xuan will be upset, she’s just as much our child as Wei Jiang, why are we good to Wei Jiang and give them houses and such?”
“Did this idea arise after they got married?”
“Didn’t the three of them make noise before, over a bite to eat, over a piece of clothing, every ti we tried to et their demands.”
“We haven’t been good at educating our children,” Zhang Yu concluded, “We’re having fish soup today.”
“In a few days, I’ll make so pickles and then pickle fish.”
“In sumr, I’ll make soybean paste, then we can stew fish with it and top it with so pancakes, especially good in winter.”

As Zhang Yu spoke, she almost drooled, “By the way, I plan to go to the waste station in my spare ti to collect so wood, then make a fra, put soil on top, plant so chive roots, and so bean sprouts, not sure if they can grow.”
“If they grow, we’ll have an endless supply of beans to eat in the sumr, by then I’ll make so dried beans in the heat.”
“Oh, and sumr vegetables can be dried as well, to change the taste in winter.” Zhang Yu actually didn’t like dried vegetables, always feeling the taste wasn’t good.
But in this era, dried vegetables are quite good, at least in winter when there’s nothing but cabbage, carrots, and green onions, there are other vegetables.
If they lived in an apartnt, they could consider growing so greens indoors, just to feel good, a rare sight of greenery in the North, plus it can be eaten, what nice green plants.
But they have no choice, since they’re living in a courtyard with no central heating, they either burn stoves or use kangs; thinking of growing vegetables at ho is a dream, making the house warm is uncertain how much heat input is needed.
Since his wife had already spoken, Wei Dazhi of course agreed imdiately, rembering his wife’s recent burst of energy, a bit worried she’d run to the waste station to buy wood, the old man advised carefully.
“You must wait for to co back before going to the waste station.”
Listening to Wei Dazhi’s concerned nagging, Zhang Yu nonchalantly waved, “Don’t worry, I understand.”
Clearly, the old man was silent and reserved, such a good character; after spending a long ti together, he turned out to be a talkative fellow.
Clearly, in the original’s mory, Wei Dazhi wasn’t like this, did the original focus entirely on the three children and never communicate with the old man, becoming silent and reserved?
Upon reflection, there’s really this possibility, Wei Dazhi worried she’d be overworked and concerned she’d feign compliance, otherwise why keep nagging?
Since he’s so worried, then listen, after all, once certain people start nagging, it’s unbearable.
Looking at the waste station in front of her, Zhang Yu thought, since she was already here, might as well go inside, pick out so wood, pay now, and let Wei Dazhi co to carry it ho after work.
Yes, that’s how it’s done, since many people co to the waste station to pick things, not wanting to skip pieces; in such a large Capital City, soone would know the value of antiques, even if it couldn’t be brought out now, one day it will see daylight.
Zhang Yu wasn’t here for the first ti in this era to complete a mission, she had long given up hope of finding treasure at the waste station, making a fortune.
Looking at the old man sunbathing at the waste station entrance, Zhang Yu really envied him, “Sir, is there any wood inside?”
Wood? The waste station old man paused, “If it’s wood, shouldn’t you go to a lumber mill?”
“Those old furniture, I plan to have my old man make so wooden fras, fill them with soil to grow vegetables.” Zhang Yu explained her intentions.
The waste station old man thought for a mont and pointed in a direction, “Over there are so old furniture that’s been damaged and can’t be repaired.”
Zhang Yu responded, “No problem.”
“Then hurry up, this afternoon there will be trucks coming to carry stuff away.” The waste station warehouse had limited space, a company would co periodically to transport a batch.
Today was the day for transporting goods, upon hearing this, how could Zhang Yu still rember Wei Dazhi’s morning advice, quickly rushing to pick out the scrap wood.
Walking over to the piles of wood, goodness, they were all broken furniture, if you wanted to remodel them, it would be really ti-consuming.
Zhang Yu understood why those things hadn’t sold, the refurbishing cost was really high.
