CHAPTER 139: CHAPTER 138: YEAH, MY DAD’S USELESS

Tonight, it wasn’t just the grandson of Sun Fifth Uncle who was crying; kids from several neighboring households were also crying.

Not for anything else, but because the stew from the Sun Family was too fragrant, it made the kids next door cry from craving.

Crying and making noise, demanding to eat meat; after their family gave them a stir-fried bamboo shoot with meat, they cried even harder.

Sun Fifth Uncle had never drunk such delicious wine; just smelling it made him drink a few more cups.

Yu Changhe had drunk it before and knew this spirit was strong and had a serious kick, so he kept advising Sun Fengshou and Sun Fifth Uncle to drink slowly and not too quickly.

Although Yu Changhe was advising them, in the end, both Sun Fifth Uncle and Sun Fengshou drank too much, arm-in-arm, they were already calling each other brothers.

"You’re skipping generations, skipping generations!" Sun Grandma sat on the kang, frowning and slapping her leg in frustration.

Seeing Sun Fengshou call Sun Fifth Uncle "Brother" again, she grabbed the feather duster on the kang, ready to hit Sun Fengshou.

Sun Fifth Uncle quickly stopped her, drunk and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t hit my big nephew... we brothers haven’t finished drinking yet!"

Sun Grandma: At least he knows to call her sister-in-law, he’s not completely drunk, and knows he’s hugging his nephew.

But since he knows it’s his nephew, why is he saying they’re brothers?

Ah, isn’t he still drunk!

Sun Fifth Uncle: "Your father marrying you this wife is no good..."

Sun Fengshou: "Yeah, my father isn’t good..."

Sun Grandma couldn’t hold back and whacked Sun Fengshou, then called out to her son-in-law, "Changhe, quickly take the wine away, don’t let them drink anymore."

If they keep drinking, her husband’s coffin lid will be hard to hold down.

Sun Daji and Sun Erji carried their confused drunk father home, while Yu Changhe pressed Sun Fengshou onto the kang in the west room.

Pushed him down, he got up.

Pushed him down again, he got up again.

Little Tiger took off his shoes, climbed on the kang, and sat on his dad, "Uncle, I’m pressing my dad down!"

"Can you really hold him down?" Yu Changhe was worried, afraid that drunk Sun Fengshou might hurt Little Tiger.

But ever since Little Tiger sat on Sun Fengshou, Sun Fengshou stopped struggling and quickly fell asleep.

Sun Shi thought that her in-laws’ visit would make Yu Changhe very upset, perhaps leading him to drink excessively at night.

Although she had never seen Yu Changhe drink too much before, today they’ve broken ties with the Yu Family, which is different from usual.

She thought, if he drinks too much, let him indulge, to ease the hurdle in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Sun Fifth Uncle drank too much, her brother too, yet Yu Changhe merely tasted the wine with no sign of drunkenness.

Curious, Sun Shi asked Yu Changhe, why didn’t you drink?

While cleaning the table, Yu Changhe replied, "I didn’t dare to drink. Such two large tables of leftover dishes, I couldn’t let you with that large belly clean them till midnight."

Sun Shi’s eyes moistened, "You must be feeling bad inside today?"

Yu Changhe paused while cleaning the tableware, "Not exactly sad, just used to it."

Since childhood, his parents favored the third brother a lot, he and the oldest brother felt like adopted, always directed by his parents to do this and that.

Later, when he became a Government Official and could earn a monthly salary, his parents’ attitude towards him changed a bit; at least his treatment became slightly better than his older brother, but only marginally.

Later, his leg became lame, lost his job as a Government Official, wanted to buy some expensive medicine, but his mother refused to spend money, which broke his heart greatly.

Subsequently, when the family split and he was driven away, he really developed great resentment towards them.

When he was doing well in life, he couldn’t help but to miss them, sometimes really hating himself for his weakness.

When he told Yu Zishu that plastic was a valuable item, it was a last show of filial duty, planning never to think of them again after that.

Unexpectedly, even after getting money from selling plastic they weren’t satisfied, still thinking of squeezing him for more.

Hehe, his parents had always been like this, greedy.

A person’s heart doesn’t grow cold in a day; after all these experiences, his heart was completely cold, didn’t hesitate putting his fingerprint on the breakup letter, clapped three times with all his might, decide to treat them as strangers from now on.

On the surface, Yu Changhe appeared indifferent, but Sun Shi knew he was actually soft-hearted and fragile, just as she was about to comfort Yu Changhe, several daughters-in-law from Sun Fifth Uncle’s family came over to help her clean up the table.

Forget it, it’s only natural to feel upset for a while, but it will pass as time goes on.

Sun Daji’s wife saw Yu Changhe off, "Go, go, go, no business for men here, off to do whatever you should, we can clean up ourselves."

Daji’s wife was quite envious of Sun Shi, admired how well she taught.

This Yu Changhe listened to everything Sun Shi said, not to mention being at his wife’s family home, he did all sorts of chores.

Boiling medicine for his mother-in-law, serving medicine, assisting with meals, after eating helped pick up dishes and wash them.

Which man does these things?

At least her husband never did and never would when visiting his in-laws.

As per her Daji’s words, these were women’s chores.

She disagreed with this; if washing dishes, sewing and repairing were women’s chores, then during fieldwork, were women not working on the field too?

They worked during the harvest as well, doing the same tasks as men, none was spared.

Why are there so much women’s chores? Why is the scope so broad?

If women weren’t required to toil, just manage household chores, that would be alright.

Finishing home chores and fieldwork, women had endless tasks.

Men returned from fields just to rest and wait for meals, whereas women rolled up their sleeves and headed to the kitchen; the more Daji’s wife thought, the more frustrated she became.

How did Chunfang find such a considerate man?

It’s not that she’s saying her husband is bad; he’s great at work and besides farming he could find porter jobs in town; in the village, he’s recognized for living a good life.

Just... sigh...

Daji’s wife sighed; when compared with others, one may feel worse off, it’s better not to have such high expectations.

With many hands, it didn’t take long to get the dishes washed, and the table wiped clean.

Daji’s wife called her three sons to come and take their family’s dishes and table back.

Sun Shi made large portions, resulting in much leftover; since her family had fewer people and couldn’t consume much, she let Daji’s wife take it.

"How can I be so cheeky?" Recently her family’s boys had been constantly receiving candies and pastries; Yu Family’s daughter showed no stinginess, giving whenever she bumped into her kids.

Having eaten heartily today, not only being full, now taking a bowl away, Daji’s wife felt embarrassed.

Sun Shi smiled gently, "When my father was alive, he had the best relationship with my Fifth Uncle, why be so polite with me?

By the way, my Fifth Uncle loves this wine; later, you call Mancang and bring your family’s wine gourd over, I’ll fill it up for my Fifth Uncle, so he can enjoy it slowly."

"This..."

Though Daji’s wife intended to express politeness, Sun Shi interrupted her, saying, "I also brought back some good stuff from Yangcheng for you sisters-in-law; soon, I’ll have my daughter Lian send it over to you all."
