269: Chapter 269 True or False First Love 69_1 269: Chapter 269 True or False First Love 69_1 Zhou Yong was really disappointed with the decision, “Lili is still sowhat weak, she needs to build up her strength.”
Weak?
Needs building up?
Zhou Dajiang couldn’t hold back anymore, “Then you should take good care of her.”
“You also earn a salary, you were living just fine before.”
Zhou Dajiang rembered when the young couple used to cook for themselves, they really saved a lot, but when he took charge of the household expenses, they seed to have no sense of moderation, always eating at or fish, always feasting on pork knuckles.
Many people have children, but there aren’t many like Luo Lili, “Your Aunt Zhang gave birth to Xiao Xuan, and they only had two chickens at ho, which were gifts from friends.”
“They hardly ever bought at, and when she gave birth to Xiao Xuan, she was even older than your wife.”
“Your brother’s wife has had several children, and she never had such lavish postpartum supplents.”
Zhou Dajiang recalled the sour words Yang Zhaodi had said before, unpleasant to hear, but they were harsh truths.
“Your sister-in-law had several confinents, and she didn’t eat as much at as your wife has eaten this one confinent.”
“Our family is just average folks; we can’t afford to eat richly every day.”
“I’m just a man who lives off a monthly salary.”
“I really don’t have that much money on hand, I’m also broke,” Zhou Dajiang thought about his scant funds and felt panicked in various ways.
“Every child has their own fortune; after your mother and I got married, we managed on our own.”
“When your mother was recovering after having you, she didn’t have it as good as now, no way she ate that much at.”
“Your wife has already had so many supplents, if she’s still feeble, she should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, to see if she’s really that frail.”
“It seems she must have been mistreated too much at her parents’ ho, otherwise, how could she be like this?” The more Zhou Dajiang thought about it, the more he believed it was so.
“Look at the wife you’ve married, no job, no job at all.”
“Her body is so frail, and she’s so lazy she doesn’t do any housework.”
“Talk to your wife about this,” Zhou Dajiang thought about the money spent this month and how they took advantage of his affection for his grandson by using the child to manipulate him.
Just because he didn’t et their demands, they wouldn’t let him see the child, and the more Zhou Dajiang thought about it, the angrier he got.
“She’s done with her confinent now; it’s ti to take on so housework.”
“And I won’t take the monthly five yuan anymore, but she has to wash my clothes, as well as the bed sheets and quilt covers,”
“If she doesn’t want to wash them, then you continue to give the five yuan.” With that money, he could see if any neighbors would help wash the clothes, paying them a little for their labor.
“It’s just having a grandson, what’s there to show off about,” Zhou Dajiang grew angrier the more he thought, “I’m not just Zhou Yong’s father.”
“I won’t have only one grandson in the future.”
Zhou Dajiang made it clear, no matter what, he absolutely wouldn’t be manipulated by Luo Lili, that was just not going to happen.
When Zhou Dajiang said these words, he raised his voice so Luo Lili in the bedroom could hear.
Luo Lili, in the bedroom, was unhappy to hear these words, cursing under her breath about how stingy Zhou Dajiang was and how she wouldn’t take care of him in the future.
But with all her dissatisfaction, when she heard Zhou Dajiang say that he didn’t just have one son, not just one grandson, she completely quieted down.
Yes, if Zhou Yong were the only son, she really could manipulate Zhou Dajiang in many ways.
But Zhou Dajiang had two sons; he didn’t need to look at Zhou Yong’s face to make decisions.
Instead, if they wanted to get Zhou Dajiang’s house and money, they had to flatter the old man in every way.
Although Luo Lili’s mother was very happy to have made so much money by taking care of Luo Lili during her postpartum period, and on top of that, being able to take ho quite a few things,
her only regret was that this money couldn’t be earned in the long term.
To Luo Lili’s mother, since there was no money to be made by staying here, she certainly didn’t want to stay.
“Lili, your confinent is over, and there are a lot of things waiting for at ho.”
“I’ll go back after dinner, no, after I take the things today.”
Luo Lili’s confinent period was really very comfortable.
Except for taking slight care of her son, she really didn’t have to do anything.
Good food, good rest, since she could rember, these were the happiest days of her life.
She would have liked to continue this way if possible, but unfortunately, such happy days couldn’t last long unless she was willing to keep paying.
The problem was that the money ca from Zhou Dajiang, and Luo Lili of course was willing, having soone to help look after the child and to be able to help her parents a little.
“But Xiao Yong’s stepmother, really, she only ca to see you when you first had a baby, then never visited you again.”
“As for her daughter, she behaves the sa way, which is really excessive.”
“Taking care of you is supposed to be her responsibility,” Luo Lili muttered nonstop.
“In the end, neither the person nor the stuff showed up.” That was what made Mother Luo most angry.
“By the way, I heard she got promoted again?” Mother Luo had heard sothing ntioned in passing by Zhou Dajiang last ti, but she hadn’t paid much attention.
Luo Lili humd in response, “Yeah, she got promoted again.” Thinking of this, Luo Lili’s mood soured considerably.
Even though there were connections, things had turned out so badly, “You know, Mom, that woman is really quite heartless, not even caring for her own husband.”
She had thought that after the old couple moved out, Zhang Shifen and Zhou Xuan would move back in, but to her surprise, they still chose to live with Zhou Lina, showing no signs of wanting to move back.
Luo Lili had hoped that by living under the sa roof, once they got to know each other a little better, Zhang Shifen might help her find a job.
But even after the old couple moved out, Zhang Shifen and her family didn’t co back, and so there was no chance to even bring it up.
The life she had after marrying Zhou Yong was far from what she had expected.
She thought that after marrying Zhou Yong, it would be fine even if she didn’t work, as Zhou Dajiang and Zhang Shifen had decent salaries.
But unexpectedly, she couldn’t even think about Zhang Shifen’s job, and as for Zhou Dajiang’s salary, he directly proposed to split the family.
Zhou Yong’s salary was just over thirty yuan, and after giving ten yuan to both sets of parents, only just over twenty yuan remained, which really made their life very tense.
It wasn’t about helping out her parents or giving a hand during her brother’s marriage, she lacked the capability to even help the family buy so small things sotis.
Now, Luo Lili just wanted to be able to work if possible, but was finding a job easy these days?
What should she do?
Luo Lili suddenly thought of soone.
She had several suitors back in the day, and Zhou Yong was not her first choice.
She had even dated that man, thinking she might marry him, but as his brother-in-law began doing better and better, their family’s expectations rose, and they no longer considered her good enough.
Luo Lili had initially thought of introducing her sister to him, but quickly abandoned the idea.
Because her sister was just a temp worker and not particularly pretty, even less so than her.
If they didn’t approve of her, how could they approve of her sister?
Luo Lili rembered Zhou Lina, whom she had t before.
Although she really didn’t want to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Zhou Lina was indeed beautiful.
Right, how could she have forgotten about Zhou Lina?
Hmph, if Zhang Shifen wouldn’t help her, then she couldn’t bla her for being ruthless.
