Chapter 228 Attitude
Yue Shan was silent for about three seconds, and then he said in a low voice with a frustrated tone: “Indeed, your sister-in-law has a bad temper.

At home, she would find any fault with me and start a fight with me!
Even though I, your brother, only earn more than 30 yuan a month, which sounds good, the money is in the hands of your sister-in-law. It is harder to get some money out than to kill her!

I’m not afraid of you and dad laughing at me. I’m going back to my hometown to celebrate the Winter Solstice and visit my parents. Your sister-in-law will give me a budget of two dollars for buying things!

My family asked me to take over my second grandfather’s job as a worker, but I didn’t take care of the family at all! In this regard, I, as the eldest brother, am not competent.

The house you live in was allocated in advance by your sister-in-law’s family, and the job you work for was arranged by your sister-in-law’s father. The salary is not low, but it is much safer than working in a mine. I don’t have the slightest say at home!

I have also thought about gaining some say, but your sister-in-law will cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to commit suicide when she gets angry. Now there is no child to tie her heart. I cannot bear the consequences if the matter gets out of hand.

What can I do? Give up my current family and get a divorce? “

Yue Shan, who had drunk two glasses of wine tonight, seemed to have finally found an outlet for his emotions when faced with his brother’s questions. He poured out all his emotions, no matter what.

“What nonsense are you two talking about! Just live a good life after you get married. Your mother and I are not old yet, and you don’t need to worry about the family!” Yue Lei couldn’t help but interrupt when he heard his two sons talking.

Hearing his elder brother’s fairly reasonable answer, Yue Feng felt relieved.

If you ask, Yue Feng, who was reborn with the memories of his previous life, whether he has any complaints towards this eldest brother who has hardly assumed any responsibilities as an elder brother and a father.

The answer is definitely complaints.

But Yue Feng is not the kind of person who only thinks about results.

His mature soul gave him the ability to look at problems rationally and objectively. After all, Yue Shan was his elder brother, and even if two brothers were broken bones were still connected.

The eldest brother may be cowardly, henpecked, or have an unsteady stance, and may not be able to support his younger brother and his family under pressure from his wife.

This is indeed his problem, but these actions are not a matter of principle, but the result of a combination of many objective factors.

His family can’t give him any support, and he relies entirely on the connections of his wife’s family to get to where he is today. To put it bluntly, it’s not much different from living at the mercy of others. How much say do you think he can have at home?
If you want to change this situation, the first thing you need to do is to strengthen yourself, stand up straight, and have the qualifications to speak. Only then can you take the initiative instead of blaming your big brother for inaction.

You have to be that kind of person first before you can get the respect of others!

Yue Feng asked this question because he wanted to hear his elder brother’s answer and analyze his actual attitude from the answer.

If the eldest brother just laughed and gloated at this time, or avoided the main point and did not give a direct answer, Yue Feng would definitely not be so chaste as to do something thankless.

If Yue Feng can accept the answer from his elder brother, then Yue Feng will be willing to help his elder brother to the best of his ability in the future.

Don’t underestimate the couple who are both working now. They are coal miners with high salaries and good benefits, and they live a good life.

But Yue Feng knew that this situation would only last for ten years at most. In the 1990s, as the country adjusted and optimized the industrial structure of its energy-based economy, a wave of layoffs would sweep in.

The more prosperous the dual-income families are now, the harder their lives will be after they are laid off.

Even if my sister-in-law has some connections in her family, it won’t be of much use. If the skin is gone, the hair will have nowhere to stay.

Any speck of dust from the times, falling on the shoulders of ordinary people, will be an insurmountable mountain.

“Xiaoshan, you’ve had too much to drink! You don’t have to worry about the family. Your brother is very capable. After the New Year, your uncle Li and I will go to the forest farm to work! Our family’s life will definitely get better and better!

Now, your only mission is to let your mother and I hold our grandchildren as soon as possible!” Yue Lei saw that his eldest son was in a bad mood and immediately added another sentence.

“Xiaohong and I have discussed the matter of having children more than once. She thinks that since we are still young, there is no rush to have a child. I have also made a lot of efforts, but I have never been able to get pregnant!” Yue Shan added.

When it comes to having children, Yue Feng’s heart moves again.

In my eldest brother’s family in my previous life, they had children quite late. They got married for five or six years and were 28 years old before they had a nephew. With the medical level at that time, 28 years old was considered an advanced maternal age.

Yue Feng doesn’t like his sister-in-law’s mean and calculating nature, but that is human nature, and Yue Feng doesn’t make decisions based on his sister-in-law’s face.

As long as his sister-in-law can live a stable life with his eldest brother, go home to visit the elderly during the holidays, and behave decently, Yue Feng will accept it.

But when it comes to having children, it’s definitely better to remember it sooner rather than later.

It just so happened that Yue Feng went up the mountain to hunt deer this time, and helped Brother Hu get a complete set of three-piece suits. Otherwise, how about arranging some medicinal wine for the eldest brother as well?

Thinking of this, Yue Feng said: “I got a set of three-piece deer kit for hunting deer in the mountains this time. I will go to Uncle Li tomorrow to prepare the medicine and soak it in wine. Wait for half a month, and then you can go home and I will give you some!

This medicinal wine is very effective and is good for having children!”

“Okay!” Yue Shan did not refuse this time and responded.

The two brothers whispered a few more words, and Yue Feng’s drunkenness and fatigue from two days of climbing the mountain started to take over. Soon he couldn’t keep his eyes open and fell into a deep sleep.

That night, Yue Feng had a dream. He dreamed that he drank the wine that Uncle Li made for him, and then Xiaona gave birth to twins for him.

……

The next morning, Yue Feng opened his eyes at dawn.

With a young body and waking up from a sound sleep, Yue Feng felt so refreshed. It had been many years since he slept on the same kang with his elder brother and father. The subconscious sense of security that came from his blood relatives made him extremely relaxed.

After getting dressed and getting off the kang, Yue Feng simply tidied up the quilt, opened the door and let Canglong and the other dogs out. Then he played with the hawk in the yard for a while. When his mother called him to eat, he took the dogs back to the west room and locked them up.

After breakfast, my sister-in-law and elder brother had to go back to the city. They had to go to work at noon for the second shift and it would take time on the way, so they had to rush back early.

After having a preliminary feeler-out with his eldest brother on the kang last night and getting his attitude, when his eldest brother and his wife returned to the city, Yue Feng was not too stingy and took back about seven or eight kilograms of venison from the sika deer he brought back yesterday.

Yue Feng’s idea is very simple. His elder brother’s pertinent statement last night shows that his attitude is correct and there is still a possibility of saving the situation, but it does not mean that Yue Feng will believe everything others say as if he is playing house.

If the elder brother and his wife behave well later, it won’t be too late to give them additional gifts. Now?

These seven or eight pounds of meat represent the weight of my elder brother and sister-in-law in my heart.

In this matter, mother Meng Yulan and father Yue Lei had the same understanding of the second son’s behavior. They did not interfere in the distribution of meat among their sons or ask their eldest son to give more just because they were the elders in the family.

The family of three (Jingjing went to school) sent their eldest son and his wife to the entrance of the alley before returning home.

After the three of them returned to the north room of their home, Meng Yulan muttered, “Chen Hong has changed her personality!”

Yue Lei curled his lips and said: “The eldest brother’s wife has not changed her personality, she just knows that our family is living a good life and they have hope!

If you don’t believe me, look back and you’ll see that the eldest and his wife will definitely come back when they are free, even before the next holiday!”

Yue Feng didn’t care at all. It was just a few pounds of meat. This level of subsidy was well within his affordability.

To put it bluntly, the four wolf-blooded puppies in my family eat two or three kilograms of meat every day.

Before ten o’clock in the morning, the three brothers Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu made an appointment and went to Yue Feng’s house together.

The red deer meat that I brought back last night has not been cleaned yet. It must be hard after being frozen in the warehouse overnight, so there is no point in coming early in the morning. We have to wait for the meat to thaw in the outer room before we can remove the bones and meat and clean it up.

There is strength in numbers, and it is not difficult to prepare this half elk deer. The brothers helped to hang the meat on the rack, then used a sharp boning knife to separate the meat from the bones, and then cut the venison into different parts.

Deer are not easy to come across in the forests surrounding the settlement at the foot of the mountain, so venison is slightly more precious than pork and bear meat. In addition, there is a 100-pound elk calf in the warehouse that can be sold, so the brothers unanimously decided to keep all the meat of this half of the big male deer for themselves.

After shaving the bones and cleaning up, there was only about 170 to 180 kilograms of meat left from the half-bull elk. The brothers each took a portion home according to the ratio of the prey they had divided before, and the task was considered preliminarily completed.

Of course, there was a follow-up. Yue Feng and a few others had a preliminary discussion and decided to sell this rare elk calf alive to the second canteen.

After all, it was a large animal weighing less than 200 kilograms. It would be very difficult for one person to tie it up and carry it on a bicycle into the city. After a little hesitation, Yue Feng decided to borrow a horse-drawn carriage from the brigade and use it to pull the elk calf into the city.

Now that I’m dating Wang Xiaona, if I want to borrow the village horse carriage, it’s just a matter of a word from my father-in-law.

This matter had to be done today, so after the meat was divided and the team disbanded, Yue Feng cut two portions of venison, one large and one small, skewered them with willow twigs, and carried them to Wang Jian’s house.

Wang Jianguo was at home today. When he saw his future son-in-law coming in carrying meat, he came over to greet him.

“Why are you carrying meat again? We haven’t finished eating the meat at home yet! Come inside quickly, it’s cold outside!”

Yue Feng grinned, “This meat is different! This is venison! I hunted it in the mountains the day before yesterday and came back last night! This meat is delicious, you and my aunt can try it!”

“Deer meat? This is quite rare. Sika deer?”

“No, it’s a big red deer! A big male deer weighing four or five hundred kilograms! The antlers alone are so long!!” Yue Feng gestured roughly.

“Big buck? What about the buck whip? Those things are also hard currency!”

Wang Jianguo was no longer polite to Yue Feng. When he heard about these rare items, he had some ideas.

Yue Feng shook his head: “This set of three-piece stag has an owner. I went up the mountain to help a friend get this. I’ll keep it for you if I get it later! How was the lynx as a gift last time?”

“No matter who you give this rare thing to, they will know its value! The feedback is good. We can strike while the iron is hot before the New Year. The relationship will be stable!”

“Okay, I’ll go up the mountain to fight again later! I will definitely not hinder your progress!” Yue Feng grinned and joked about his father-in-law’s pole.

“You kid, you tease me! Believe it or not, I’ll let your dad deal with you!”

“Hehe, if you don’t believe me, you’d be reluctant to part with it! Oh, by the way, I want to use our team’s carriage this afternoon to go into the city! This big piece of meat is for our family, and I’ll have to carry this small piece to the stable later!”

“The carriage is idle. I’ll make a way for you to choose one! The horse with the best temperament in the team is the chestnut horse. When you go to look for Lao Li, use that horse for stability!”

“it is good!”

Wang Jianguo entered the room, wrote a note to Yue Feng with the village committee’s letterhead on it, and then signed his name on it.

“Hey, it’s settled! Well, Xiaona is in the room? I’ll go find her later!”

“Go ahead, I have something to do, so I’ll go out for a while!” Wang Jianguo turned around and put the large piece of venison that Yue Feng handed him into the cellar, then pushed his bicycle out of the house.

It’s just me and Wang Xiaona at home again. This father-in-law is really smart!

Regarding the plot between the protagonist and his eldest brother and sister-in-law, I wrote two versions of the sequel this morning. After repeated considerations, I still chose a relatively mild plot advancement plan.

I don’t know whether this is the right choice or not. It may be a little unpleasant. It would be better to just slap her in the face and tell her to get lost.

However, I believe that what makes us human is that we have complex emotions.

Conflict for the sake of conflict is somewhat mindless. I want to try a slightly more advanced writing style.

If the story is written like this now, there will be a day later when the eldest brother will be able to raise his status step by step because of the support of his brothers, and finally control his wife completely and be proud of himself at home.

In addition, this branch line also has subsequent plot extensions. For example, the protagonist has laid a good foundation and started to upgrade the industry, setting up a private Northeastern restaurant that sells all kinds of Northeastern dishes.

If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them. I will read all the comments.

Love you guys, muah!!
