Lee so-young is busy shuttling between housework and taking care of her grandchildren, and her life is full of busyness and challenges. However, when the daughter-in-law's mother was injured in an accident and needed extra care, the daughter-in-law unceremoniously offered to let Lee so-young take care of her mother by the way, as if it was a matter of course. Faced with such excessive demands, Li Xiuying thought for a moment and finally made an important decision.
Zhao Meilan was busy and grabbed a mahjong card, but the corners of her mouth wrinkled slightly: "Alas, it's nine again." ”
As soon as she played her cards, her phone rang suddenly. Zhao Meilan was already upset, and the ringing was even more harsh. She angrily reached for her phone, but when she saw that the caller ID was her daughter's number, she quickly made a quiet gesture.
Daughter, what's wrong? Zhao Meilan's tone softened slightly, after all, she was still a little patient with her daughter.
Mom, what are you up to? Daughter Zhou Ying asked.
I'm busy making dumplings, by the way, I've made your favorite egg stuffing with leeks. Zhao Meilan made up a reason angrily, she knew that her daughter hated her playing mahjong the most, and she didn't want to be blamed by her daughter anymore.
Oh, making dumplings, it's good. Mom, I'm calling you today because my maternity leave is almost over, can you come over and help me take care of the baby? Zhou Ying can only count on her mother.
Zhao Meilan thought about it and shook her head: "No, you also know, my waist is not good, and it hurts at every turn, let alone holding a child." ”
Zhou Ying understood that her mother was usually lazy, but she couldn't force it anymore, so she could only sigh: "Okay, you take care of yourself, I'll think of another way." ”
Zhao Meilan looked at ** and hung up, and secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Fortunately, I escaped this catastrophe." ”
Qin Guiying next to her glanced at her: "If your son is a word, don't you want to help?" You know how to play mahjong every day. ”
Zhao Meilan smiled: "How tiring it is to take care of children, only those who are ignorant will rush to go." ”
In the afternoon, Zhang Tao returned home and saw Zhou Ying holding the child in one hand and stir-frying vegetables in the other, hurriedly putting down the briefcase and stepping forward to pick up the child: "I'll come, I'll come, you go and rest for a while." ”
Their dinner is simple, a few dishes, a few steamed buns. It's not because I can't afford to eat, but Zhou Ying really doesn't have time to cook well.
Did you hit your mom up**? She said could she come over? Zhang Tao asked while eating.
She said she had back pain, no. Zhou Ying lowered her head and replied, even she didn't believe in this reason.
So what to do? Do you want to quit your job and focus on taking care of your children at home? Zhang Tao felt a pity, but there was no other way.
That's not good, I have a salary of more than 5,000 a month, and when I resign, I will cut off my connection with society. "Zhou Ying doesn't want to be a stay-at-home wife.
Otherwise, let your mother come over, you can persuade her well, we will give her a monthly subsidy, when it is to pay her salary, 3000 yuan should not be much, after all, taking care of children is more tiring than going to work. Zhang Tao thought it was a good idea.
Zhou Ying frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma still needs money to see her grandson?" Why didn't you tell me about this money earlier, if I had known, my mother would have come. If the problem of money is not clear, how can my mother come. ”
Zhang Tao didn't like Zhou Ying's way of calculating, and felt that she was the same as her mother. But he didn't want to quarrel with her, so he simply said: "The opportunity is fleeting, and if you miss it, there will be no more." This opportunity was missed, and there will be no more. Your mother doesn't cherish it, my mother just comes. ”
Zhou Ying thought about it for a while, and also called her mother, telling her that there was a subsidy for watching the child.
As soon as Zhao Meilan heard that there was such a good thing, she immediately jumped up from the sofa. Zhou Ying instructed her: "3,000 yuan will be given to you directly, and you will be given another 2,000 yuan for your usual living expenses, and the saved will be yours." But you have to hurry, my mother-in-law may come at any time, I can't get rid of her." ”
I'll pack up my things and leave early tomorrow morning. Zhao Meilan quickly packed her luggage and prepared to leave early the next morning.
But the result was unexpected, Zhao Meilan originally planned to leave early the next morning, but it was already noon the next day, and she was still sleeping in bed. When she arrived, Li Xiuying had already arranged everything and was playing with her grandson.
Zhou Ying saw Zhao Meilan and angrily pulled her to the bedroom: "Mom, why do you always go wrong at critical moments, it's useless for you to come." ”
Zhao Meilan patted Zhou Ying's chest unwillingly: "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet." There is also a probationary period at work, and we will naturally know who will take care of the children. ”
But Mom, to be honest, you are really a lot worse than my mother-in-law. I originally wanted you to come to avoid contradictions. Zhou Ying said euphemistically.
You don't have to worry about this, I have a solution. Zhao Meilan knows that her strength can't be compared with her ability, but she has other ways.
In the following days, two old men competed silently, one was responsible for taking care of the children, and the other was responsible for cooking and housework. Zhang Tao saw it in his eyes and understood in his heart that if someone helps with housework, he will have food to eat when he gets home from work, and he will have someone to take his children, so why not do it.
Zhang Tao's family has a 110-square-meter house, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and now there are two more people. Zhang Tao lives in one room by himself, Zhou Ying lives in one room with her children, and Zhao Meilan and Li Xiuying live in one room.
Li Xiuying likes to be quiet, but Zhao Meilan is the opposite, at night, Li Xiuying was woken up by the sound of Zhao Meilan's mobile phone again, and said angrily: "If you don't sleep, others still have to sleep, you have to brush **, go out and brush, I haven't seen such a selfish person." ”
Zhao Meilan deliberately pretended not to hear, turned up the volume, and continued to look at her **.
Li Xiuying saw that Zhao Meilan didn't seem to care, like a dead pig, she felt very annoyed: "Are you deaf?" ”
What's wrong with my opinion? Your snoring is loud, did I say you? If you feel noisy, you can go out to sleep or simply go back to your own house to sleep.
I'm telling you, I can't sleep at night without watching **. You either get used to it, or you go on your own and no one is holding you back. "Zhao Meilan is recognized as a cheeky champion, but Li Xiuying is not weak.
Li Xiuying knew that Zhao Meilan was deliberately making things difficult for herself, although she was unhappy, she could only sleep with her head covered with a quilt.
A few days have passed, and Li Xiuying always doesn't sleep well at night, her dark circles are getting heavier and heavier, and she looks very tired. She didn't understand that Zhao Meilan stayed up late every night to watch **, but she didn't look tired at all the next day.
Li Xiuying didn't know that Zhao Meilan used to play mahjong all night and was used to staying up late.
Zhang Tao saw that his mother's state was not right, and was about to ask, but Zhao Meilan hurriedly took the mop: "Tao, lift your feet, I'll mop the floor." ”
Mom, the ground doesn't have to be mopped so diligently, if it's not too dirty, just sweep it, especially at night, and you can't see it clearly. Zhang Tao was interrupted by Zhao Meilan's words and forgot to ask his mother what was wrong.
That's not good, the ground looks clean, there are actually a lot of bacteria, especially now Nan Nan likes to crawl on the ground, can't be sloppy. Zhao Meilan said confidently.
Li Xiuying listened and said disdainfully: "You can mop the floor, but you have to wring out the water after mopping, last time I almost slipped while holding Nan Nan." ”
Zhao Meilan didn't expect that Li Xiuying, who was wooden, would expose her shortcomings in front of her son-in-law, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She wanted to fight back, but considering that Lee so-young was the mother of her son-in-law, she finally endured it.
Zhao Meilan is a person who can bend and stretch, she hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I will wipe the floor with a dry rag again after mopping in the future to ensure that Nan Nan will not slip." ”
Zhao Meilan behaved aggrieved, but where Zhang Tao couldn't see, she glared at Li Xiuying fiercely.
Li Xiuying was taken aback by Zhao Meilan's counterattack, and secretly sighed: "Zhao Meilan's acting talent, if she is not a housewife, she can definitely be an actor." ”
Although Zhao Meilan is not very capable, she is a thorn in her side, Li Xiuying exposed her shortcomings and made her lose face, Zhao Meilan was very unhappy, and secretly determined to take revenge.
Li Xiuying listened to Zhao Meilan's mobile phone sound every night and fell asleep, and it suddenly became quiet that day, which made Li Xiuying a little unaccustomed, so she asked, "Why don't you watch **?" ”
Zhao Meilan felt uncomfortable when she heard it: "What's wrong?" Not used to me not disturbing you to sleep? You're a cheap man. ”
You're really uneducated, and your mouth is really unclean. Li Xiuying decided to talk to Zhang Tao and let Zhao Meilan move out as soon as possible, she was worried that Zhao Meilan's bad habits would affect Nan Nan.
Zhao Meilan persisted for so long, and she didn't want to fall short, so she decided to find a way to let Li Xiuying move out as soon as possible.
That night, after Li Xiuying coaxed Nan Nan to sleep, she said to Zhao Meilan, who was mopping the floor: "I'm so sleepy, I can't open my eyes, you pay attention to Nan Nan, and help me coax me when you wake up." ”
Why should I coax a child?! Zhao Meilan asked dissatisfiedly.
I slept and snored, you don't know, Nan Nan finally fell asleep, don't let you wake up. After Li Xiuying finished speaking, she went back to her room.
Seeing Zhao Meilan mopping the ground with water everywhere, Li Xiuying couldn't help but remind: "You have to mop the floor cleanly, how many times, don't let the ground be slippery and easy to slip." ”
The contradictions between Zhao Meilan and Li Xiuying are intensifying. Zhao Meilan deliberately left water stains while cleaning, causing Li Xiuying to slip and fall and injure herself, but Zhao Meilan ignored it and continued to enjoy her leisure. However, unfortunately, Zhao Meilan broke her leg bone and needed a long time to **. This has caused a lot of distress to the family.
Faced with Zhao Meilan's injury, the family fell into a controversy. Zhou Ying tried to take care of Zhao Meilan by arranging for Li Xiuying, but was rejected by Li Xiuying. Lee so-young insists that she is not a voluntary caregiver, while Cho Mi-lan expresses dissatisfaction and anger at this, feeling that her needs have been neglected.
The conflict within the family is escalating, and Zhou Ying tries to solve the problem by giving Li Xiuying extra pay, but it is also unsuccessful. In the end, Zhou Ying could only give up her job and take care of Zhao Meilan herself. This incident became a lesson for all to realize the importance of kindness and understanding.
