268. Chapter 267 The Frustrated Second Sister-in-Law

After returning to the house, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help but ask curiously: "Duoyu, is the female colleague brought by big brother hers?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "They all sleep in the same room, don't you think so?"

"Yes, then I really have to congratulate big brother, and now my mother must be very happy."

Li Duoyu continued to tease little Tutu, but today's little Tutu just didn't like him. When he saw him, he immediately turned his head to the other side.

Li Duoyu cried sadly: "Big brother, how did your father offend you? Why does he hate me so much?"

Zhou Xiaoying said unhappily: "You slept like a pig last night, and your hand pressed Tutu. I cried so loudly, but I didn't wake you up. If I don't hate you, who should I hate?"

Li Duoyu scratched his head: "Hehe, it can't be true."

Zhou Xiaoying said unhappily: "What do you think? From now on, you sleep on the outside and Tutu sleeps on the inside, so that he won't be pressed."

"Ah, don't."

Seeing Li Duoyu's constipated expression, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, her husband likes children very much. Not only can he feed and change diapers, but he also always stares at the sleeping little Tutu and smiles.

When he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can't help but want to hug him and pat his back gently, which makes her a little jealous. He doesn't treat her as well as his son.

Fortunately, it was a son. If he had a little lover, he would probably have no status in the family.

After the eldest brother Li Jinchuan came back to rest for a while, A Niang called them to go to Tianhou Temple to worship Mazu.

There are some unwritten customs on the island. The first thing people who come back from working hard outside do when they return to the island is to go to Tianhou Temple to worship Mazu.

Jiang Yuqin, sitting on the edge of the bed, didn't want to go out at all.

"Can I not go to worship? There are a lot of flies on your island, always circling around me, and those aunties seem to be laughing at me all the time, they must be saying I'm old."

Li Jinchuan quickly said: "How can you be old? A woman is thirty-one years old, and you look like you're in your early twenties. Those people must be praising your beauty."

Jiang Yuqin laughed and scolded: "Before, when I first met you, you were stupid and honest. When did you become so good at coaxing women?"

"You've trained me."

Li Jinchuan said seriously: "When we get to the island, we must go to worship Mazu. If we don't go, A Niang will definitely not give us the household registration book, and she might even drive us away directly. . "

"So serious?"

Li Jinchuan nodded: "We go to sea and believe in Mazu very much. We can live without the ancestral hall, but we can't live without the Mazu temple."

"Well, after worshipping Mazu, I will tell your parents about it tonight. After getting the household registration book, we will return to Rongcheng tomorrow. I am worried that Xiaomin can't take care of herself at home alone."

"Okay, I promise you."

Jiang Yuqin smiled and took Li Jinchuan's hand: "Let's go, I will go with you to worship Mazu."

Li Jinchuan frowned and said: "It's okay in the room, but don't do this after you go out. We haven't married yet, and we will be gossiped about."

"Got it."

Chen Huiying carried the basket and led Li Jinchuan and the future eldest daughter-in-law to the direction of Tianhou Temple.

Villagers greeted them from time to time along the way.

"Huiying, Jinchuan is back. Is this your eldest daughter-in-law?"

"She is really beautiful."

"Your sons are all good at finding wives. One is better than the other."

Although Jiang Yuqin was reluctant to greet these fishermen who smelled of the sea, she had to smile and greet them all the way in order to get the household registration book for marriage.

After worshipping Mazu, Jiang Yuqin lay down until dinner time before going out. For her, every minute on the island was torture.

But when she came to the courtyard and looked at the full table of seafood on the Eight Immortals Table, she was a little overwhelmed.

There were all kinds of seafood on the table, including swimming crabs, blue crabs, red fermented rice eels, fried clams, steamed prawns, oysters, fried pork belly with green garlic, kelp and pork ribs soup, and even a five or six jin red grouper in the middle.

Seafood is quite expensive in the city. If it were at Rongcheng Restaurant, this table of food would not be served without three or four big unity.

I didn't expect Jinchuan's hometown, which looked shabby, to be so willing to spend money on food.

What she didn't expect was that the big table of seafood seemed to be not over yet, and the fourth child of the Li family, that is, Li Duoyu, came out with a big pot of food.

"Fried tofu fish with pepper and salt."

After smelling the fragrance, Jiang Yuqin, who hadn't eaten well all day, couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

These seafood smelled fishy, ​​how come they were so fragrant after being cooked.

"Yuqin, come here quickly."

At Chen Huiying's invitation, Jiang Yuqin sat next to Li Jinchuan, and there were three people sitting opposite her.

Among them, there was a fat boy of eight or nine years old, who smiled and greeted her: "Auntie, you are so beautiful."

"Thank you."

Seeing the child in front of him praising her beauty, Jiang Yuqin couldn't help laughing.

After looking at the woman next to him who was the same size as him, Jiang Yuqin already knew who these three people were without Jinchuan introducing them.

However, what she cared about most was that the one who cooked tonight was not the woman of this family, but Jinchuan's third brother. Jiang Yuqin looked at the food on the table, which was no less delicious than that prepared by a chef from a restaurant, and couldn't help but ask Zhou Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, are these all made with fish?"

Zhou Xiaoying sighed: "I wanted to do it originally, but in this family, Duoyu's cooking is the best. Once there are important guests or big festivals, he is responsible for cooking."

"So amazing, it's really rare to find a man who can cook these days."

Zhou Xiaoying smiled. He really liked that Li Duoyu could cook, provided that he didn't always think about going abroad to be a chef.

The two chatted.

In front of everyone, Jiang Yuqin took out a small ceramic jar from a small cowhide bag and handed it to Zhou Xiaoying.

"Xiaoying, I came in a hurry. I asked my friend to buy this Queen's Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream. It's really easy to use. Winter is coming. Apply it on your face and it won't crack easily."

Zhou Xiaoying saw the small ceramic jar and waved her hand: "Sister Qin, you should take back such a valuable thing."

"I've already bought it. You're so beautiful. It would be a pity if you don't take good care of it. Take it quickly. I'm tired of holding it."

Zhu Xiuhua, who was standing by, saw the bottle of Queen's Pien Tze Huang Pearl Cream and her eyes widened instantly.

As a woman, she naturally knew that this pearl cream was the best cosmetic at the moment and it was very expensive.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying accept the pearl cream, she looked at Jiang Yuqin, who was generous with her money, with a smile.

He thought she would have a bottle, but what he didn't expect was that she didn't even look at him, as if she was air.

Jiang Yuqin took out another iron box and said to the little fat boy in front of her: "You must be Haoran, you are so sweet, this pencil case is for you."

When Li Haoran saw the pencil case with various cartoon characters printed on it, his eyes seemed to glow.

"Thank you, pretty aunt."

"You are so sweet, you will definitely be liked by girls in the future."

Then, Jiang Yuqin looked at Li Yaoguo and took out a Hero brand fountain pen.

"Yaoguo, I heard from your brother that you are an accountant in the village, and you must have written a lot. This fountain pen is for you."

"Thank you, Sister Qin."

After giving the fountain pen, Jiang Yuqin looked at Lao Li who was smoking a cigarette.

"Uncle, I really don't know what gift to give you. Jinchuan said that you like to smoke, so I bought you a Hetian jade cigarette holder. This cigarette holder has a filter, so you won't be so choked when you smoke."

Jiang Yuqin gave gifts to everyone present, but not to Zhu Xiuhua, and didn't even say hello.

Everyone saw Jiang Yuqin's blatant discrimination, and anyone with a discerning eye knew it was intentional.

Now everyone just hoped that the second sister-in-law would keep calm and not get angry, otherwise the dinner tonight would probably become very unpalatable.

Being treated differently like this, even a pig would know that the woman in front of her was doing it on purpose, which made her very unhappy, but she couldn't do anything about her.

After all, the things belonged to others, and it was her business to give them to whomever she wanted. She couldn't ask shamelessly: "Why did everyone give them, but not to me? Are you targeting me on purpose?"

If she didn't have it, then she didn't have it. She just couldn't bear to buy it, not that she couldn't afford it. She would go to the county to buy a bottle next month when her brother-in-law paid them wages.

Chen Huiying, who was standing by, couldn't help but say after seeing Jiang Yuqin send so many gifts: "It's good that you came, why did you send so many gifts? You must have spent a lot of money to buy these."

Jiang Yuqin glanced at Zhu Xiuhua and said with a smile: "It's not much."

"All these add up to only half a month's salary of Jinchuan."

Chen Huiying looked at her eldest son in surprise and couldn't help asking: "Jinchuan, your salary is so high now?"

Li Jinchuan scratched his head awkwardly: "Yuqin exaggerated a bit, it's not that high in fact."

Seeing Li Jinchuan's modesty, Jiang Yuqin immediately said: "Aunt, you may not know that Jinchuan is now the backbone of our machinery factory and the workshop director. He manages 50 people. In two years, the factory will give him a house."

"Wow, uncle is so powerful." Li Haoran couldn't help but say.

After hearing this, Zhu Xiuhua was stunned. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would do so well after running away from home.

I originally thought he was at the bottom, but I didn't expect that among all the brothers, his husband Li Yaoguo was the most useless.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiuhua glanced at Li Yaoguo, and seeing his useless look, she couldn't help but get a little angry.

At this time, Li Duoyu came over with a plate of garlic lobster and said, "The last dish, lobster vermicelli."

When Jiang Yuqin saw this plate of lobster vermicelli, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Even when she followed the factory director before, she had never eaten such a big lobster.

Seeing that Li Duoyu's cooking skills are so good.

Jiang Yuqin said, "Duoyu, you are so good at cooking, do you want to be a chef in our factory?"

"Big, I dare not guarantee you, but at least 50 yuan a month, if you become a formal employee, there will be dividends at the end of the year, and you can earn at least a thousand yuan a year."

Jiang Yuqin just finished speaking.

But she found that the atmosphere on the scene was a little wrong. No one spoke, and several people smiled awkwardly, which made her a little confused.

Only Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Sure, if I have the chance, I really want to work as a chef in your factory."

After hearing this, the second sister-in-law, who was full of anger but couldn't vent it, finally found a breakthrough. (End of this chapter)
