Chapter 241 The Two Worried Brothers

Chapter 241 The Two Worried Brothers

What was originally intended as a banquet to discuss marriage prospects with Yao Shula and Miao Yamin turned into a protest rally by the women of the Yao family.

In the beginning, it was Yao's eldest aunt's four daughters-in-law who were disciplining their husbands.

Although they usually do a good job, they are still like abacus beads, they can't move without being moved, and they need someone behind them to whip them.

At first, Yao's aunt tried to persuade her, but it wasn't until her eldest daughter-in-law said a few fair words that the situation changed.

"Mom, you really are something. You've worked so hard your whole life, worrying about everything at home and outside. Otherwise, where would Dad find so much time to go out and play cards and chess!"

You're the one who's working the hardest at home!

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yao immediately realized that she was the one who worked the hardest in the family!

Since marrying into the family, she has been dutiful to her parents-in-law, raised children, and taken care of the household. It seems like everything is her responsibility.

And what about Yao's eldest uncle...?

It means that you hand over your salary every month and then don't care about anything else.

Regardless of what the family eats or drinks, whether there's enough food, or where the money for the children's weddings and marriages will come from...

"You're right, I'm the one who works the hardest in this family!"

Hey old man, I'm telling you, starting tomorrow you'll stay home and look after the kids, and do as much chores around the house as you can.

Even if you can't do kitchen work, you can at least do some other chores!

Sweeping, wiping windows, cleaning the front door, and the yard—that's all your work from now on.

"From now on, don't even think about coming back for meals on time, or going out to visit other people's houses after you finish eating." Aunt Yao glared angrily at Uncle Yao, who had been acting like he was invisible.

Uncle Yao, who had been dozing off to the side...

Weren't they just talking about their niece Shura's boyfriend? How did they suddenly bring it up about them?

"Huh?" Uncle Yao was still confused.

“I said tomorrow… no, starting today, you’ll be responsible for cleaning the front door and the yard every day.”

The kids are busy with work, while you're always wandering around with your arms swinging.

"The New Year is almost here, and everything that needed cleaning has been done!" Aunt Yao continued.

“Yes, don’t expect to get away with this year’s Spring Festival by doing nothing. You all have to work together!” Yao’s daughters-in-law all said.

The men of the Yao family suddenly felt like the sky was falling...

...

Yao Shula is very satisfied with the current situation.

See, everyone's attention is no longer on her and Miao Yamin.

After watching the commotion with a smile for a while, Yao Shula finally took her younger siblings home, satisfied.

They also brought the abdominal binders and gloves that Grandma Yao had made for them.

After what happened today, she can at least have peace and quiet for a year, and no one will mention what kind of partner she wants to find in front of her for at least a year.

"Sister..." Yao Shuxin, who was standing next to her, wanted to say something.

"Just focus on your studies and don't think about anything else. All I want to do right now is take good care of you all."

"Other things... I'm not interested!" Yao Shula interrupted Yao Shuxin.

Yao Shuxin had no choice but to shut up and carefully follow Yao Shula forward.

"Sister, I will definitely get into university," Yao Shuxin promised once again.

"I know, don't overthink it. Just take it one step at a time and don't put too much pressure on yourself," Yao Shula quickly reassured Yao Shuxin.

Yao Shuxin is under too much pressure. I need to ease her tension in a couple of days; she can't stay like this forever.

After walking a few steps, Yao Shula discovered another problem.

Those two little ones... seemed particularly quiet.

After leaving Old Yao's house, the two of them became unusually quiet, unlike their usual chattering self.

"What's wrong with you two? Was the mutton soup not good today?" Yao Shula asked.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian quickly shook their heads.

“No! The mutton soup is delicious!” Yao Shuli quickly replied.

"Pancakes are delicious too!" Xiao Tiantian added.

"Oh, so you just ate too much! It's okay, we can walk back slowly to digest!" Yao Shula thought of this.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian chuckled awkwardly, not daring to continue speaking.

After returning home, Yao Shula saw that the sun was shining, so she busied herself taking out everyone's bedding and blankets to air them out for a while.

Yao Shuxin was sent back to her room by Yao Shula to continue reading.

Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli went inside and refused to come out.

...

"Tian Tian, ​​how do you write it now?" Yao Shuli looked at the pinyin notebook in front of her, feeling troubled.

Xiao Tiantian rested her chin on her hands, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Can do housework, manage a household, take care of the family, and be filial..."

The most crucial point is... knowing how to have children!

Little Tiantian is really starting to worry.

Everything else is easy to talk about; if you dig around a few more, you'll eventually find one. As my older sister always says, three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are plentiful...

If you put your heart into it, you'll always find it.

But you need to know how to have children...

He had never actually seen a man give birth before!

"It's okay, just write it down first, and we'll see if we can remove this one later."

I think my older sister is already exhausted from taking care of us, so she doesn't necessarily need to have a child.

"If my older sister wants a child, I'll be her son!" Xiao Tiantian said softly.

Yao Shuli...

“Okay, call me uncle first!” Yao Shuli laughed immediately.

Little Tiantian...

"Hmph! You're taking advantage of me!"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to be so eager to be my eldest sister's son! I'm my eldest sister's own brother, so you have to call me uncle!" Yao Shuli chuckled.

Xiao Tian snorted, glanced at the pinyin notebook, picked up a pencil and wrote the four characters "will have children" on it very solemnly!

I'll write it down first! I'll ask my brother when I get back to Shanghai if it's true that some men can have children.

Otherwise, why would my older sister bring this up out of the blue? There must be something to it for her to say it.

After carefully putting away their pinyin notebooks, Xiaotian and Yao Shuli were about to talk to their older sister when there was a knock on the courtyard gate.

When the door was opened, it turned out to be Wang Changsheng and Wang Biying from Grandpa Wang's family.

Both of them were carrying a bamboo basket filled with sweet potatoes.

"Sister Shura, my grandfather asked us to deliver these. He had saved up quite a few sweet potatoes from before, and he picked these out for your family."

"Red ones, you have a gas stove at home, they'll smell so good when roasted on the stove." The two showed the sweet potatoes in the basket to Yao Shula, who had come over.

Yao Shula took a look and saw that they were indeed good sweet potatoes, round and uniform in size, perfect for roasting.

"We can keep them for our own sale, why send them over?" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Grandpa Wang no longer collects recyclables; he now sells roasted sweet potatoes near the train station, and I hear his business is doing well!
