When Chang Jing got off work in the afternoon, she found her daughter doing her homework on the table as usual. Feng Lei was watching TV in the room as usual.
As for Granny Feng, she was lying on the chair with her eyes closed.
It seemed like there was something wrong with his family?
Every time she came back from work, Old Madam Feng would have already prepared the meal. But today, it was abnormally abnormal. The kitchen was cold at home.
She walked up to Granny Feng and asked softly, "Mom, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's time to get off work. It's nothing. It's just that I'm getting old, so I'm a little sleepy." Old Madam Feng had wanted to pull a long face, but when she saw her daughter-in-law, she couldn't do it. She owed her daughter-in-law a lot in her life, so she didn't want to pull a long face in front of her. She pretended to stand up and said, "I'll cook."
"You rest." Chang Jing pressed her down to sit down and reprimanded Feng Lei, who was watching TV in the room, "All you do is watch TV. Don't you know how to cook? I have to rely on you for everything. "
Feng Lei said with a cheeky smile, "I used to, but I forgot how to do it now."
Chang Jing said, "If I know how to do it, then I know how to do it. If I don't know how to do it, then I don't know how to do it. How could I forget?"
Feng Lei said, "My partner is too capable. She takes care of all the laundry and cooking. She doesn't even give me a chance to practice."
Chang Jing sneered, "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. Let me tell you, there's no way!"
Her attitude was as resolute as ever.
Granny Feng gave her grandson a helpless look. When Feng Lei saw that Chang Jing had entered the kitchen, he immediately went up to Granny Feng and whispered, "Grandma, your grandson's happiness depends on you. You can't give up halfway! If you want to see your great grandson, you have to work harder. "
Old Madam Feng smacked him in annoyance. "Tell me. Wait for me to find a suitable opportunity. At this time, your mother is in a fit of anger. If I say it, I'll just be adding to her anger. "
"Grandmother, you're the head of the family. She still listens to you, whether you're the head of the family. Show me your style. "
"I don't need you to teach me. Go play somewhere else."
Madam Feng was used to being busy. Now that she was suddenly free, she felt uncomfortable lying down and sitting down. She really felt uncomfortable.
When it was time to eat, she ate half a bowl of rice.
"Mom, let me take your temperature. Do you have a cold?" Chang Jing stood up to take the thermometer. She knew about Old Madam Feng's appetite. Although she was old, she could still eat a bowl of rice. Her appetite today was definitely abnormal.
"No, no, no problem." Old Madam Feng knew best whether she was sick or not. She was just troubled about how to talk to her daughter-in-law about having a grandson.
"Is there something on your mind?"
Old Madam Feng said, "Sigh, it's just that I'm old and useless. Both of my children are already so big. How could they not be old? You don't have to worry too much."
Chang Jing said, "The bigger they are, the more worried they are. None of them are easy to deal with."
Feng Rui said unhappily, "Mom, don't drag me into this if you're unhappy with Brother."
Chang Jing smiled and said, "Look, none of them are easy to deal with."
Old Madam Feng sighed and said, "They're both smart. I'm happy to see them grow up. I didn't let down your father-in-law and your man. When Lei Zi gets married and I have a great-grandson, I can rest in peace and be content. "
Old Madam Feng finally started to talk.
"Mom, you're usually in good health. Don't think about all that nonsense. Lei Zi isn't that old. It's fine to wait a few years before getting married." Chang Jing sensitively felt that Old Madam Feng had a hidden meaning in her words. She said to her daughter beside her, "Are you done eating? If you are, hurry up and do your homework. Why aren't you nervous at all?"
"I finished my homework a long time ago." Feng Rui stood up and ignored her. She went to the table to take an apple and went into the house to eat it with Feng Lei while watching TV.
Old Madam Feng continued, "Let's not talk about the faraway Old Yu. Let's talk about the Old Madam Qiu next door. She's usually in better health than me. She doesn't have any illnesses or disasters. One meal of hers is worth two meals of mine. But in the summer, she's gone just like that. Lei Zi is already at the age of marriage. How can he delay it? Delay it for a few years? All the old men in Normal Alley have promised to marry him, but none of them came to Lei Zi to ask for his hand in marriage. Don't you know what's going on? Are you really going to hold him back? "
Chang Jing said, "But he can't find a country bumpkin. Mom, I've had enough, let alone you! You've had enough of me. Do you want to be burdened by your grandson? "
Old Madam Feng smiled and said, "It's our family's fortune to marry you. How is it a burden? If we're talking about a burden, it's our family that's burdening you. All these years, this family has been relying on you. Who asked your man to be so unlucky? "
Chang Jing said, "Sigh, it's all in the past. What's the point of talking about this?"
Old Madam Feng said, "We've seen that girl before. She's really perfect. You're willing to let her go just like that?"
Chang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do even if I can't? She has four siblings in her family. Not only are there two unmarried older brothers, but there's also an unmarried younger brother. It's not much different from my family's situation back in the day. Luckily, we haven't gotten too close to her yet. If we really did, would our family still be able to live? "
She had even specially asked her brother to inquire about that family. They had three mud houses and couldn't be any poorer. Not only was it hard to get a wife from such a family, but it was also hard for their daughter to get married. Just thinking about it made her scalp go numb.
Old Madam Feng said, "How can our family be compared to before? Lei Zi has earned quite a lot these past two years. We've saved quite a bit too, haven't we? I think that if it really works out, we'll be able to satisfy their requests. Our money was originally prepared for him to get a wife. What's there to feel bad about? "
Those who had money could speak with confidence. Not to mention that Feng Lei had earned quite a bit, even she had earned quite a bit selling rice wine and snacks over the past few years.
Chang Jing said, "That's true, but she'll be a burden in the long run."
Old Madam Feng said, "In my opinion, we really can't count on the girls in the city. Where can we find a suitable one?"
Chang Jing shook her head. "It's just that there aren't any suitable ones at the moment."
