Chapter 151 – The Responsibilities and Obligations of Being a Wife

“Don’t worry, mom, I know.” Yang Daya nodded. Then, she looked like she was hesitating.

Ma Hui wanted her to work hard, so she asked, “What do you need?”

“I will go to work to earn money for you. But mom, you have to remember to help grandma wash their clothes every day. Grandma told me about this job because she loves me, otherwise it definitely would not go to me,” Yang Daya explained.

Ma Hui’s heart stopped.

Yang Daya looked at her and whispered, “Mom, I won’t spend any of the 15 yuan a month. As long as I get paid, I will ask Uncle Aidang to give it to you.”

“Okay, I’ll wash the clothes for them in the future!” Ma Hui said. After that, she scolded her daughter, “I really didn’t raise you well, to think you ordered your mom to work!”

Yang Daya was very happy.

She was confident that she could do well in the job. It was taking care of a child and doing housework, which she did at home.

Yang Daya went to see Aunt Yang.

Aunt Yang saw her coming and smiled. She asked, “Did your father tell you?”

“Grandma, thank you so much,” Yang Daya said as she tried to hide her grin.

It was clear that she thought she would like this job a lot. She could make money for her family. It was 15 yuan a month from home and she didn’t have to eat at home. She liked these conditions a lot.

“Thank you for what? After you go there, you must work hard. Danhong has a good relationship with her second sister-in-law since she’s easy to get along with. As for Jindang, I know him well. He’s a good man. They won’t treat you unfairly when you work over there. But you already know better. You should never take what is not yours,” Aunt Yang said.

“Grandma, don’t worry, I know.” Yang Daya nodded.

“That’s good.” Aunt Yang nodded back.

“I’ve already talked to mom and she is going to come and wash the clothes every morning. Grandma, let her do it. Don’t be stubborn,” Yang Daya said.

“It was you who washed the clothes for us, but now that you’re going away, we can do it ourselves,” Aunt Yang said.

“Grandma, I already talked with mom, she also promised,” Yang Daya immediately said.

Aunt Yang frowned.

Uncle Yang came from the backyard and said, “If she wants to do it, then let her.”

“Grandpa,” Yang Daya addressed.

Aunt Yang didn’t say anything more. She knew that if she hadn’t recommended Daya, her eldest son’s wife would always hold a grudge against her second and third son.

“When you go, you should work hard. You should not steal. Getting paid 15 yuan, along with food and boarding, is a lot.” Uncle Yang also said.

“Grandpa, I will.” Yang Daya agreed.

When Daya Yang returned, Aunt Yang went to look for Su Danhong.

“Aunt, did Daya agree to go?” Su Danhong asked with a smile.

“How can she say no to such a good job? She agreed to it. In the evening, please ask Jindang to take her to the town together,” Aunt Yang said.

“That’s good.” Su Danhong chuckled. “Shitao, that child is a little troublemaker, so she will have a lot of responsibilities.”

“How can a child not be mischievous? Her younger brother is even more of a troublemaker, but she has taken care of him well. I think she can take care of Shitao. She is also used to doing the housework at home. If she doesn’t work hard, she can be brought back. It’s okay,” Aunt Yang said.

“I think Daya will be fine,” Su Danhong said with a smile.

She believed that Shitao was very easy to take care of. Her second sister-in-law wanted someone there to primarily take care of Shitao in the morning and help keep an eye on things when it got busy or do some work. It was not difficult to do.

Aunt Yang smiled and said, “I’m relieved that she will be working at Jindang’s store.”

Afterwards, Aunt Yang said that she needed to go back. Ji Jianyun came home after finishing his work and asked, “Was Aunt Yang just here?”

“Yes. How busy was it for you?” Su Danhong poured him a glass of spring water.

“Not too busy.” Ji Jianyun nodded. “Did our child cause any trouble?”

“As long as he’s taken care of with his fill of food, he is as easy to take as his brother,” Su Danhong said with a smile.

Ji Jianyun laughed and went to see Qiqi. He was playing on the bed, while Renren sat beside him and was looking at some pictures. When he saw his father coming, he immediately put aside the album and opened his arms towards his father.

“Daddy.” The soft milky sound made Ji Jianyun’s heart melt.

“Did you listen to your mother today?” Ji Jianyun asked with a smile, and went to hold his eldest son.

“Yes, my younger brother and I were good, and my younger brother doesn’t make any trouble any more,” Renren said.

“That’s good.” Ji Jianyun nodded, “What do you want for lunch?”

“I want to eat egg congee.” Renren said. “What does daddy want to eat?”

“I want to eat egg and lean pork congee,” Ji Jianyun replied.

“I want to eat that too,” Renren said.

“Let’s eat together.” Ji Jianyun nodded.

“My brother can’t eat yet,” Renren recalled.

Ji Jianyun laughed.

Su Danhong watched them talk. She saw that Ji Jianyun was very patient with Renren and would answer any question. Even if he was busy every day, he would hug him and take some time to talk to him.

“You two keep talking, I’ll cook some congee.” Su Danhong said.

“Let’s just eat egg and lean pork congee,” Ji Jianyun said.

Su Danhong nodded and boiled some egg and lean pork porridge. However, they also had side dishes. She made a cold beef salad and some choi sum.

Although the food was relatively simple, the family of four was very satisfied. Of course, Qiqi did not eat any of it.

After lunch, Ji Jianyun took Renren to look at the picture album. He also bought some puzzles for him to play with. At about 1:30, the father and son took a nap.

Ji Jianyun got up very early these past few days and was busy carrying fruit trees back. Thus, he was a little tired. He took a full hour nap in the afternoon. When he got up, Su Danhong had just warmed up the mung bean soup.

Su Danhong saw him get up and said, “Drink some mung bean soup and then go to work.”

“Why didn’t you take a nap?” Ji Jianyun leaned over and hugged his wife.

Su Danhong brushed off his wandering hand and said with a smile, “I stay at home all day long, so I can sleep whenever I want to. Go and drink the mung bean soup quickly. It’ll make you feel less hot.”

“I’ll give you another month to rest up. After that, I will take care of you down there,” Ji Jianyun said.

“Do you think I’m afraid?” Su Danhong blinked.

Ji Jianyun did not dare to look at her anymore. His wife became more interesting after giving birth to two sons. He was definitely going to be the one who would suffer from her seduction like this later.

Ji Jianyun drank the mung bean soup and rested for another half hour before going out.

Su Danhong did not stop to rest. The weather was nice now. It was busy at this moment. After a while, the sun would get stronger and it would be more tiring. However, her man was busy working outside. She must have three meals prepared for him. It was responsibility and obligation to do so as his wife. She took out some big bones from the refrigerator. She was going to make something cool and nourishing with them. She also washed some soybeans. Then she cooked them.

In the evening, there were two bowls of delicious soybean brothy soup. It was very nutritious.
