"Dad, Mom, I’ve taken another job! Making that spicy cabbage, I can earn about a hundred wen per jar!" Xiaoxiao reported to her parents as soon as she got home.
"Today, I tried selling it at the Yuelai Restaurant in the county. If nothing unexpected happens, this could really work out. It’s just that our family’s white cabbages will have to be used up by me! There might even not be enough, hehe."
"That’s wonderful! Wonderful! Daughter-in-law, Dad has something to tell you!"
"Dad, what is it? Go ahead."
"Dad wants you to take charge of this family!"
"..." No one in the family expected the old man to say such a thing. There were still elders in the house, and the eldest and the second son were still around. It was not her turn to take over, being only the third daughter-in-law!
"Dad, that really shouldn’t be the case. There are so many people in our family older than me. It’s not my turn!" What on earth was her father-in-law thinking! Running a family was such a headache. She never had the time for that, always staying out of matters!
"Dad’s been thinking about this for several days. From the time you came to our family until now, Dad has seen all you’ve done for this household, and I feel relieved having you in charge. You don’t have to worry about the first and second son’s families not accepting it. Do you guys have any objections?" Her father-in-law immediately turned to the eldest and second brother’s families!
"Dad, I agree! Sister-in-law really is better than us!" Yang Chun, the eldest, said.
"Dad, I agree too," said Yang Gang, the second son.
"What about you two?" The father-in-law then asked the two daughters-in-law.
"We have no objections!" both sisters-in-law unanimously replied!
"Dad, I really can’t, I’m still too young!" Xiaoxiao truly did not want to take over the family. She didn’t even know how long she would stay in this family! How could she take on such a big responsibility!
"Everyone will help you, so just agree. Child, your mom and I are getting old, and I wouldn’t feel secure handing it over to someone else."
Seeing her father-in-law , and then looking at the sincere eyes of the family, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree. She would take one step at a time. Who made her soft-hearted! Was she really going to run the household? Just a few days’ affair? It felt like a dream!
It must be said that the cleverest person in the household was still the old man. Seeing how busy Xiaoxiao had been these days for the family, he knew she was good, but his third son didn’t realize it. He had to find a way to tie Xiaoxiao to this family. Given his son’s way, he really feared that the third daughter-in-law might be driven away. Moreover, handing over the family to Xiaoxiao wouldn’t be a bad thing, as it was sure to improve.
"Dad, since you’ve asked me to take charge of this family, then I really will. Now that our family has a source of income, I think we should eat regularly, three meals a day; it’s a must, as the children are still growing!"
"..." Xiaoxiao really dared to speak up, they also wanted to eat three meals, but they were scared of not having enough!
"Don’t worry about food, since I’m taking over the household, I’ll definitely lead everyone to eat well and dress warmly, to get rich! Just follow my lead and do your best!" Seeing some doubts among them, Xiaoxiao still pumped everyone up.
"I believe in sister-in-law. I have been following her around these days, and her ability is immense! She will definitely make sure we are well-fed!"
Yang Dong stood up in support, his belief unwavering. This sister-in-law was too capable, and he still had so much to learn from her.
"Okay, we’ll all listen to the third daughter-in-law."
The family was delighted, finally going to eat their fill, no more going hungry once a day!
