Although he has long been accustomed to the hero's "dominance" at home, this cold roar still makes the fire of enthusiasm that has been burning for a long time ruthlessly extinguished by a scoop of cold water.

At this time, my mother felt as if she had fallen from the top of the Himalayas to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, choking on the long-brewing plans and longings for her future life.

A feeling that his soul was hollowed out came to his heart, and he suddenly lost the strength and willingness to chat, and responded in a low voice: "Well, I bought it, I bought it all." ”

I felt the fatigue of the day rushing from all over my body like a flood that opened the floodgates.

After speaking, the past that had been diluted by excitement came to my heart one by one, thinking of the grievances when I got married, the sadness when I was beaten, and the scene when I was pregnant with 100 catties of food and carried a bicycle for more than an hour...... Vividly.

Tears couldn't help but fall from his eyes, and he forced himself to cry, trying to keep his peace and said, "There is a lack of a basin at home, so I saw it and bought it back." ”

"In the future, you can't buy things without Lao Tzu's approval. Did you hear that?" the hero was vicious, and stretched out his hand as he spoke: "Pay back the rest of this month's salary." ”

Mother obediently handed over all the hard-earned income of this month.

After the hero snatched the money from his mother, he immediately searched the passing people at the gates of various fortresses like the Japanese puppet army during the Anti-Japanese War, and searched all the pockets and trousers of his mother's clothes and pants skillfully from left to right.

First, he put his hand directly into his mother's pocket and rummaged through it at will, and seemed a little unwilling to find any clues, so he turned all the inner fabric into the outside of his coat pocket until he was sure that there was really nothing left.

The mother, who had become accustomed to being oppressed, tearfully cooperated with her husband's search, knowing that she could not resist, and that resisting would mean a more severe beating.

When the hero was satisfied, the mother silently unfolded the quilt, curled up her whole body without leaving a gap, and kept sobbing until she fell asleep.

And what about that hero? One after another, they enjoyed the taste of cigarettes, and when the rice in the pot was cooked, they picked up the dishes and chopsticks and chewed unceremoniously, just like the Liangshan heroes often talked about "eating meat and drinking wine". Although, there is no meat in the pot.

After eating and drinking, push the dishes and chopsticks to the middle of the table, probe back, pull the pillow to the side, and walk calmly on the kang together, after a while, the snoring is like thunder.

My mother, who had long been accustomed to it, thought that this was just an episode in her life, and continued to use the "self-consolation method" in Ah Q's spirit to calm her mood. Although, she doesn't know Ah Q.

Unexpectedly, three days later, my mother's in-laws and two sisters-in-law came to the house together.

The crowd frowned, their faces were hateful, and their faces were a little more ugly than those of the creditors. At first, my mother didn't notice their strangeness, but she said that her in-laws and sister-in-law were big guests, and Zhang Luo was serving tea and water, and was busy serving.

Later, I slowly found that these "ancestors" were menacing, did not speak, did not chat, did not pay attention to people, and looked bitter and hateful.

Realizing that there might be a situation happening, "from front to back, from left to back" reflected on the various events that happened during this time, pondered for a long time, and determined that there was no place to offend them, so I had to keep silent and cook with my head down, for fear of causing any more unpleasantness.

After a while, the hero came back, and the hero's father, the old man who wrote more than 20 pages of letters and scolded his daughter-in-law, finally stopped pretending, and asked his mother coldly: "Do you know the truth that the eldest brother is like a father?"

This sentence without a beginning or end made her mother wonder, and she said in her heart: "Big brother doesn't seem to have come to the house recently? And I haven't seen each other much, I'm not very familiar with it, I may not know each other when I meet it on the road, when did I offend my eldest brother?"

I couldn't figure out the reason for it, so I had to answer with a hard head: "Dad, where does this start? What does it mean, I don't understand it too much." ”

"The rules left by my ancestors for generations, eldest brother is like father, today I have to educate you well. Your eldest brother didn't buy an extra aluminum basin at home, so why should you buy it?" The old man said "with righteous words": "What your eldest brother has in his house, what can you buy in your family! Your eldest brother does not have it in his family, and your family must not have it, and your family's living conditions must not exceed that of your eldest brother, do you hear clearly?"

My mother didn't expect that it was because of the fact that she bought a pot a few days ago. It's really laughable.

Xin said: "This old man, more than 20 pages of letters scolding his daughter-in-law and formulating family rules is not enjoyable enough, and he actually came to the door to find fault." ”

"That stunned boy, the affairs of his own family are still publicized everywhere, for fear that others will not know, he will be scolded, he will be angry, his salary will be searched, and he will let the old man bring a large family to bully me? Besides, even in feudal society, it will not be because of the matter of buying a pot, so that the whole family will mobilize to find the stubble of the daughter-in-law, right? Anyway, this is also in my family, and outsiders can still bully it?" The mother was very annoyed, thinking that her husband was not angry, and at the same time, she was annoyed by this strange family.

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, let alone a woman who has been bullied for a long time.

Thinking of these, the mother was "angry", of course, she didn't have a good face for them, and she didn't care if the stunned boy would be angry, whether he would beat himself, and said lightly: "Dad, this is not a feudal society, the country has been reformed and opened up, and everyone is equal." Chairman Deng Xiaoping also said that let some people get rich first, and the first rich will lead the latter to become rich, although we are not a rich and noble family, but everyone has their own life and their own way of living. ”

"My house is rented, and I have to borrow a pot from the landlord every day to cook, except for covering the dishes and chopsticks. Even if my brother's family is poor, at least the house is their own, and the furniture is their own, if you think it is a bit redundant for me to buy a pot, then we will exchange with my brother, let him rent a house and borrow a pot, and we will live in his house!"

The first round of counterattack caught the old man and his party off guard, and before they could react, their mother came to the second round of counterattack. The more he talked, the more excited he became: "Besides, my money is earned by my own hard work, I can buy whatever I want, I didn't spend a penny on your family, and I didn't want to compare with anyone, a broken aluminum basin, as for your old man's enthusiasm to cure my crimes?"

"That's it, then I'll follow the rules you set, what my family can buy in my eldest brother's house, and in the future, your son and I will go to my eldest brother's house every day to see what the eldest brother buys, eats and drinks, and what kind of life he lives, and after reading them, we will go home and buy it as it is!"

The second round of counterattack made the mother's thinking clearer, and she was still a little excited when she said it, and immediately patted her head, and continued: "Oh, this doesn't work, it's too troublesome, we have to spend errands back and forth, you must not agree!

The mother's words were knocked and beaten, not only talking about her own situation, but also expressing the old man's nosy and unreasonable, and clearly stated his position, leaving the old man's family speechless. After the mother finished speaking, she secretly glanced at her father, for fear that the stunned boy would make a move. To the mother's surprise, this time the father didn't mean to insult at all, as if he agreed with the mother's meaning, and was told by the mother to the heart.

The old man is so angry now, he didn't expect that his daughter-in-law, who is usually "cowardly and incompetent, and few words", would be so eloquent, the key is that every sentence is reasonable and there are no dirty words. It was able to make him, a "teaching craftsman" who had taught all his life, speechless.

The old man raised his hand and pointed at his mother for a long time, wanting to make trouble but not knowing where to start, he blushed and said unreasonably: "Let me tell you, when you enter my house, you have to follow the rules of my house, and you dare to talk back to me?

Seeing that the old man was incoherent, the two younger sisters of the hero were not to be outdone. The eldest sister then said: "Second sister-in-law, how can you talk to your father like this? You are still a scholar! Father is also for the good of your family, one more pot and one less pot will not affect your life, listen to our father's right." ”

"That's it, second sister-in-law, say a soft word to your father, apologize, and listen to your father in the future. The second sister added.

When the mother heard the words of the two younger sisters, she became even more angry: "After all, Dad is an elder, and when he is old, he will inevitably speak a little unreasonably.

Now that you know this, why don't you come here to do chicken feathers? I bought a pot and have a bird relationship with you!"

This is the first time in my mother's life that she has been bullied and sweared, the first time that she has been scolded by the bully, the first time she resisted without any violent sanctions, and she bravely vented the resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart.

In order to avoid being attacked by the "group attack" of this family, he quickly changed his clothes and shoes after speaking, and rushed out of the house regardless of it.

From beginning to end, the hero didn't say a word. When the old man saw his daughter-in-law running away, he patted his thigh and yelled at the hero, "What are you doing in a daze?

At this time, the hero may have realized the seriousness of the matter, and the girl chased after him.
