This bathtub is so big, it could fit not only one adult, but two adults as well.
I remembered what my daughter had told her about going to the private room to wash clothes.
Does he intend to imitate a public bathhouse and build a private bathing room in his home?
She thought about all the whispers her daughter had told her before.
Zhao Ailing couldn't help but blush.
146. Mother-in-law peeks at bathing
"Are you Dr. He's mother-in-law? The money has already been paid. Please check it out. If there are no problems, we'll deliver it to your home now."
She led the two people.
They returned home in a grand procession, pulling their carts.
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were both stunned!
"what is this?"
"I have never seen a wooden water tank before."
"To be honest, it wasn't a water vat at all; it was used to pickle cabbage in the winter."
"How many cabbages does he have that he needs to hold them in such a big container?"
Want to go over and help.
Zhao Ailing simply didn't want to use them.
"These two workers can help me carry it inside."
"More people means more effort, and we have nothing else to do anyway."
"No need, my son-in-law will be back soon."
"Did He Hongyang buy this? How many cabbages are you planning to pickle this winter? You're not thinking of giving one to each family in the yard, are you?"
What are you thinking!
Yan Bugui was, after all, a primary school teacher.
They didn't even recognize a bathtub.
The two men watched Zhao Ailing without saying a word.
I thought she had agreed.
They rushed over to help.
Then a loud sound came from outside.
"Who said my family was going to pickle cabbage?"
He Hongyang is back.
Zhao Ailing looked at him like he was a savior: "Hongyang, how come you're back so soon?"
"I heard that someone was trying to take advantage of our family, so I rushed back to check."
Yan Bugui rubbed his hands together.
"It's just a question. You can give it if you want, or you don't have to if you don't want to."
He pretended to be generous with his bangs.
"Even if you give it to us, we won't take it. No family is short of cabbage, no family is short of anything."
"What do you mean by cabbage and radish? Don't you have any sense of propriety? This is a bathtub!"
what?
The two of them stared wide-eyed in shock!
Such a large wooden tub, used for bathing.
I want to take a shower.
A washbasin will suffice.
Why would you need such a big basin?
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? A washbasin and a towel are all you need for a bath, aren't they?"
"You're talking about taking a bath, I'm talking about soaking in a bath. Have you ever been to a private room in a public bathhouse? They use this kind of bathtub there."
How could they possibly go?
Good companies like steel rolling mills only give out bath tickets once a month.
One bath ticket, and several family members are waiting.
They take turns, and it takes several months before they can take a bath.
A private room costs extra.
They've never been there even once!
I kept exploring this big bathtub.
It's both smooth and sturdy.
"So, you can have a private bathroom at home?"
“That’s right. With this bathtub, not only can adults take a bath, but my daughter can also swim in it.”
"Can we go take a shower?"
Yan Bugui was afraid of missing out on any good opportunities.
As for food, He Hongyang definitely wouldn't give it to him.
But it's just taking a shower, it doesn't cost anything.
It's just occupying his space.
He will definitely agree.
"At worst, we can boil water ourselves and soak the food in the basin."
What a beautiful thought!
This was prepared for their whole family.
No one else could possibly do it!
He now has a trick up his sleeve to deal with them.
Just reach out your hand.
"Sure, but you'll have to pay!"
They were shocked to learn that they would have to pay extra.
The two of them immediately objected.
However, Liu Haizhong still pretended to be a leader.
"How much? It costs one cent for a shower at the public bathhouse. If we bring our own hot water, would five cents be enough?"
He Hongyang stretched out a hand.
"It costs 5 yuan to wash once."
They thought they had misheard.
The best high-quality flour now costs only one cent per pound, and you can buy 50 pounds of high-quality flour for 5 yuan.
Are they crazy?!
Use 50 jin of high-gluten flour to take a bath?
"You're blatantly inflating prices. Even a private room in a public bathhouse isn't this expensive."
He Hongyang rolled his eyes at them.
"This is my own home, I can pay whatever price I want. If you can't afford it, then don't ask for it."
"You say I'm inflating prices? I'd say you're not satisfied with taking advantage of me. This is my place, why should you be allowed to clean it up?"
"Come and pay up, or there's no point in talking!"
The person with bangs was being roasted and couldn't say a word.
Seeing that Zhao Ailing was there, he didn't want to lose face, so he pointed at He Hongyang.
“I’m your elder. I was just asking a question. Did you have to talk back to me like that?”
"I think the most proper person in your family is your mother-in-law. She's always quiet and reserved, unlike you, who can shut someone up with just a few words!"
Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly.
“You’re right. You should learn from your mother-in-law. At least you should smile when you see us. You shouldn’t be so angry and hostile towards us every day.”
When he talks about his mother-in-law...
He Hongyang had even more questions for them.
They assumed he hadn't seen it.
Every time Zhao Ailing passed by them, their eyes practically followed her.
It's just because she's younger than my wife and has a better figure.
Now that I'm middle-aged, I still want to hold onto the last vestiges of my youth!
Even if you can't eat it, just looking at it a few times can at least satisfy your craving.
“My mother-in-law isn’t talking to you because she doesn’t want to talk to you. Don’t think I don’t know what you old men are thinking.”
"From now on, you better watch your eyes. If I find out you're looking at my mother-in-law like that again, I'll tell your wives!"
The two never expected that their little scheme would be exposed by He Hongyang on the spot.
They immediately defended themselves.
"We're all so old, how could we possibly have such thoughts?"
"Don't forget she's your mother-in-law. Saying that is disrespectful. It's fine for us men, but she's a woman. It would be embarrassing if others found out."
He Hongyang simply shouted at Yan Bugui's house.
"Auntie, Auntie, Auntie, what are you doing in the house? You chatter on and on about useless things all day long. Can't you come out and do something about your men?"
"If you don't want to deal with it, then I'll take care of it for you!"
"Tell them to watch out from now on. If they do anything out of line again, they'd better watch out, or I, as their son-in-law, will give them a good beating!"
The three of them quickly came out.
Upon hearing the veiled meaning in He Hongyang's words...
I immediately understood what was going on!
They also felt that their husbands had been acting strangely lately, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong.
It turns out that she didn't want to watch them anymore and wanted to watch someone else.
Now someone's son-in-law is saying this to my face.
How shameless!
The second and third aunties started fighting right away.
She twisted her husband's ear.
"I think you're planning a rebellion. Get home right now and keep those two eyeballs safe from now on!"
"If you ever dare to look at someone's mother-in-law like that again, I'll cripple you!"
Although they usually wouldn't dare say such things about their men in public.
