Chapter 245 Disappointment
How is it possible to let her go to work in the fields? In these years since she married into the Bai family and became the eldest daughter-in-law, she has never had any involvement in anything other than the kitchen or the fields at home.
She was not stupid, so how could she not know how tiring the work in the fields was?
When I was a girl, I had to work a lot, especially in the summer. During the hottest days, the sun would make you oily, and your skin would peel off after a few days.
After marrying into the Bai family, all the work fell on the second child and his family. She was happy and relaxed. She only had to cook and distribute the food for the family every day.
Even the dirty work such as washing clothes, feeding pigs, and cutting grass are all done by the two girls in the second room.
Not to mention how delicately her face and hands have been cared for over the years, but they are much fairer and tenderer than those of ordinary village women.
It's just worse than that woman from Baiyunxi. Who told that woman to fall into a honeypot since she was a child and not do any heavy farm work?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng didn't care about anything else and bowed to the smiling face.
"Dad, okay, why did you suddenly think of this? Our family has always been in peace. If it was because of this house, my wife really couldn't think about it at first. After a few days of trouble, it was her fault. I will apologize to you, and I won't look back. Just tell your second brother and sister that the house will allow them to live in peace."
Zheng said, turned around and touched Bai Yunsong's arm, winking at him.
Bai Yunsong came back to his senses and saw the faint disappointment in his old father's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, dad, you can't just think about it. The dad who knows wants his second brother to exercise, but the dad who doesn't know thinks something happened to our family? If someone asks, how do you want your son to answer?"
"Answer truthfully. Just answer how others ask you. I didn't ask you to lie.
The old patriarch knocked the pot on his pipe and looked at the two of them indifferently.
He had carefully cultivated his eldest son. If he really wanted to abandon him, he would definitely feel uncomfortable, but if he had to cultivate his selfish and arrogant character, there would be endless troubles.
When I was alive, I could still wipe his butt to some extent, but what if he died?
"You two don't have to complain. After all these years, it's time to work in the fields. Otherwise, you might not even know which way the fields are facing."
Bai Yunsong was unhappy when he heard his father's unquestionable tone.
"Dad, where do you want to put your son's face? If people find out, how will I be able to walk outside in the future?"
"Who said you can't go out for a walk after working in the fields? We are farmers, not officials and gentry, so why can't we go out?"
The old patriarch looked at his eldest son with disappointment in his eyes.
The Yunxi girl is indeed right. Some people get too much, which can indeed develop a selfish character.
"Dad, what are you doing? My second brother is doing a good job, why do you have to ask me to change it for him?"
"What people want in life is three meals a day. If you don't want to eat, it's okay not to do it."
Let them do a job, just grinding and grinding, obstructing them in every possible way.
The second brother and the others have been working for all these years and haven't heard a single complaint.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her father-in-law seriously, and finally panicked.
"Dad, don't be angry. It's just that the incident happened suddenly and the head of the family didn't react for a moment. I didn't say that I wasn't willing to do farm work. If dad thinks that we and I are not participating enough, I will go to the fields with my second brother tomorrow to see how it is possible. Don’t you know your own place?”
Isn't it just a matter of lowering your head and being submissive?
