The fourth sister-in-law smiled faintly, and the usual pretty and lively look on her face was replaced by a calm and dignified look at this time.

Her eyes were level, and she looked at the eldest brother Kang Yushu opposite, and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with women? Women don't deserve to go out and compete with men, so they should be gossiping at home playing mahjong and being a long-tongued woman?"

This sentence not only caused Kang Yushu to grit his teeth and black face, but also attracted the big eyes of the second sister-in-law and the seventh brother and sister. The fourth sister-in-law felt it, but she chose to ignore it.

His eyes didn't move, still on the eldest brother's face, and the fourth sister-in-law said again: "Now is a new era, what men can do, women can do as long as they have the ability." I just didn't catch up with the good time, I have to be born a few years later, maybe I will also go abroad to stay abroad and come back with a female doctor. In that case, if I open a shop and do business, I can still beat the men in those businesses by myself. ”

"You ......" Kang Yu was very angry, but the other party was a brother and daughter-in-law, and it was inappropriate for him to speak too much as the eldest brother. So, he spat out and said, "Okay, okay, I don't care how you want to toss." But you can't drag Yu Rong into the water. ”

Kang Yurong couldn't help but help the fourth sister-in-law: "It's not about the fourth sister-in-law, I took the initiative to help." ”

Just now he was blocked by his brother and daughter-in-law, and now seeing that Kang Yurong, who has always been obedient and obedient, is also working against him, Kang Yushu's anger in his heart is even greater.

Kang Yushu slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted: "Are you embarrassed to say? What is your own situation? You are a woman who has been divorced by her husband's family, you should honestly stay at home and don't go there, so that you will be less stared at by others and less spittled by others." But what about you? You are restless, you have to be self-reliant and self-sufficient. If you have to be a teacher, you should be your teacher, why do you still get a newspaper with great fanfare. Do you think that you were divorced by your husband's family, and it is not enough for us to get the rumor in Lu County, so you have to make trouble in Baoding Mansion and the whole city of Beijing, and everyone knows that you are satisfied? This is a glorious thing? I also tell you that after the New Year, you will quit the school for me, and An Ansheng will accompany her mother at home. If it is suitable, it will be remarried. If it's not suitable, the Kang family will support you for a lifetime. ”

Kang Yurong sat at the dinner table, raised his eyes, and stared at the pair of gloomy angry eyes opposite.

Is this still the second brother who stopped his mother from binding her feet because he was afraid that she would hurt?

Is this still the second brother who argued for her in front of her father because she liked to read?

The person is still the same person, but this indifferent look and aggressive words make Kang Yurong almost unable to find a trace of the second brother's former shadow.

She knew that her second brother, like her father, liked Zhang Shengcheng very much, and she also knew that Zhang Shengcheng's status was much higher than her in their hearts, and she knew that in the matter of divorce, they put all the fault on her, thinking that she was stupid, stupid, incompetent, and couldn't even tie up a man.

It's just unexpected, after so many years, the second brother's resentment against her for "can't tie Zhang Shengcheng" is still so deep, and he still regards her divorce as a great shame for the Kang family.

A touch of pain passed through Kang Yurong's heart, his eyes were red, his eyes were full of pain and disappointment that could not be hidden, and the round tears trembled in his eyes, but he refused to fall, and like his owner, he had a stubbornness of forbearance.

In a moment, Kang Yurong's eyelids closed, and instantly raised again, the tears that were originally swirling in her eyes were gone, she looked at her second brother Kang Yushu and said solemnly: "Second brother, I am divorced, not divorced." ”

Maybe he didn't expect his sister to talk to him in such a firm tone, Kang Yushu was stunned, and then said coldly: "So what's the difference?"

Kang Yurong said: "The difference is that divorce is passive, and divorce is autonomous. If I don't sign it myself, I will always be the young grandmother of the Zhang family, and no one can shake my status. ”

Kang Yushu was furious: "Then why did you sign that letter in the first place?"

"Because, I don't want that man anymore. Kang Yurong's volume was too high in an instant, and after a sentence, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In the eyes of you and your father, Zhang Shengcheng may be a talented person, a rare talent, and a good son-in-law who adds glory to your long face." But in my eyes, he is ruthless and cold-blooded, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a pig and a dog. is such a man, why do I still guard him with all my heart? Second brother, because of your and father's love for Zhang Shengcheng, I feel guilty about the divorce. However, I in no way think I'm doing anything wrong. It's like I helped my fourth sister-in-law decorate the shop, you may not like it, but I still don't think there's anything wrong with me. I took the initiative to help with the decoration shop, what anger do you have on me, don't affect the innocent fourth sister-in-law. ”

The sister-in-law was so righteous and insistent, the fourth sister-in-law naturally would not let Kang Yurong carry the black pot alone, and was about to stand up to help, but was blocked back by the surging waves of the eldest brother.

I saw Kang Yushu stand up with a "bang", and kicked the chair back far away. Furious, he shouted, "Yurong, even you want to resist me?"

Compared with the turbulent waves of the second brother, Kang Yurong can be called calm. She said unhurriedly: "Second brother, I don't want to rebel against you. I just wanted to follow my heart and do what I wanted. I now have the ability to support myself, and I will not become a burden to the Kang family, and I will no longer be dependent on anyone. "Because, no one is as reliable as relying on oneself.

Kang Yushu leaned forward, put his hands on the table, a distorted smile on his face, his eyes swept back and forth between the fourth sister-in-law and Kang Yurong twice, and then said coldly: "One and two wings are hard, you don't need the Kang family to shelter you from the wind and rain." Since they are all so backbone, then let it be whatever you want. It's just that if you are wronged outside in the future, don't come back and cry. After speaking, with a full body of anger, he left without looking back.

"During the Chinese New Year, the whole family is unhappy when one person stirs up, it's true. ”

"A woman should be like a woman, abide by the rules of a woman, and ask people to point out pictures in the newspaper?"

"Anyone will say that there is really something, and if you don't stretch out your hand to the family, that's what you call a real skill. ”

As soon as Kang Yushu left, the voices of blame and complaints rushed to Kang Yurong one after another.

Of course, these people are also very dissatisfied with the fourth sister-in-law, after all, the fourth sister-in-law is the one who "stirs up trouble". But people have their husbands to support them, just looking at Kang Yujian's unsmiling face, no matter how much they complain, they don't dare to say a word. Therefore, I had to sprinkle all my grievances on Kang Yurong, a soft persimmon.

Kang Yurong sat there, her head half-hung down, her face was calm, but her eyes were gloomy. She has been obedient to her parents and brothers since she was a child, and she never thought of upsetting them.

Now she just wants to follow her heart and follow the path she wants to take. But it provoked the second brother to be furious, and caused everyone to be indignant.

But even then she didn't want to turn back.

Even if everyone is angry with her, even if the second brother is cold to her from then on, she still wants to stick to her mind and follow her steps step by step.

Twenty-two years ago, she was living for others, and twenty-two years later, she wants to live for herself.

There is always a price to pay for being willful.

Therefore, the family's complaints Kang Yurong did not hear it. But now, whether she retorts or defends herself, it will only cause more unnecessary trouble, and it is better to turn a deaf ear.

In the midst of everyone's chatter and complaints, Kang Yurong stood up and silently returned to the room.

The fourth sister-in-law looked at her sister-in-law's lonely back, and her heart ached. Thinking about it, the reason why the sister-in-law was blamed by everyone was all because of herself. I wanted to get up and chase after him, but my arm was grabbed by my husband and I couldn't move.

The fourth sister-in-law lowered her head, looked at the big knobby hand held on her arm, lowered her voice and said, "Yurong is wronged for me, I must feel uncomfortable, I will go to comfort and appease her." ”

Kang Yujian shook his head and said in a low voice: "Yurong feels uncomfortable, and it's not just because of today's incident. For now, let's let her stay on her own for a while. ”

The fourth sister-in-law looked at her husband, although she didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, but she didn't insist on chasing after her. Thinking about it, the future is long, and there will be opportunities in the future.

The school opened on the eighteenth day of the first month, and Kang Yurong originally thought that he would return to Beijing after the fifteenth and sixteenth to spend more time with his mother during the Chinese New Year. But since the unpleasant scene on the first day of junior high school, except for the fourth brother Kang Yujian's family, everyone else has treated her differently. Mother looked at the New Year, and the family was awkward, except for shaking their heads and sighing.

In the face of the rejection of his family, Kang Yu can be calm and unwavering, but he can't stand it in his heart. Coupled with her mother's sighs and sighs all day long, she felt that she had really become a "sinner" in the family.

In order to alleviate the "sins" on her body, and for the sake of her brothers and sisters being out of sight and out of mind, as soon as the fifth day of the Lunar New Year passed, Kang Yurong insisted on returning to Beijing regardless of her mother's retention.

I went out early in the morning and arrived in Beijing, just after nine o'clock. There has been no one for many days, and a lot of dust has accumulated in the house. After a short rest, Kang Yurong rolled up his sleeves and began to clean.

At eleven o'clock, everything inside and outside the house was done. Sitting on the chair and looking at the clean home that had been cleaned up by himself, he suddenly felt cold.

She leaned back in her chair and sighed softly.

There was a crackling sound of firecrackers next door, Kang Yurong subconsciously looked at the table clock, it was twelve o'clock at noon, it was time for lunch.

She cheered up, went to the kitchen, looked at the empty kitchen, sighed helplessly, withdrew, put on a coat, wrapped in a scarf, and took a bag and went out.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, there are not many people in the market, only three or two nearby stalls. Kang Yurong bought some vegetables, fresh meat, pork ribs and chicken. On the way back, I went to the shop to buy some peanuts, melon seeds, dried fruits and candies, and then went home.

As far as she is concerned, she can simply make do with it. But now it's the New Year, listening to the laughter and laughter of other people's homes, and she is just by herself, she is afraid that she is too lonely, and she must find something to do for herself.

So when she came back, she went into the kitchen to wash, wash, cut, steam, steam, boil, and cook.

Four dishes and one soup were served on the table, and she habitually put three pairs of dishes and chopsticks. It's just that after sitting down, looking at the two empty chairs, she smiled helplessly.

"I'm going to go back for the Chinese New Year and tell my family about us. ”

Kang Yurong couldn't help but think of what Ke Mulan had said, and his heart was inexplicably heavy.

She thought, I really don't know, what kind of scene is the Ke family now, is it the same as their family, chickens and dogs?

The Ke family does not have the restlessness that Kang Yurong imagined, but it is true that Ke Mulan is in a dilemma.
