Chapter Seventy-Three: The word "filial piety" crushes people to death
Usually the miners in the mine get off work, they first go to the mine's exclusive bathhouse to take a bath, change their work clothes, and change into the clean clothes they usually wear before going home.
There was an accident in the mine today, Zheng Youcai ran back while still wearing work clothes, and his hands were covered with soot and blood stains.
Qiao Xiu'e didn't know what was on her face, and when she heard this, she immediately turned to face Lin Jiaming and his wife, and thanked him with a cry and a smile: "Oh, thank you sister and brother-in-law, I said that it was dangerous for him to go down the well, but he didn't listen, thanks to your care, you can change his job." ”
Qiao Xiu'e couldn't hold back her crying for a while, and there was a cry in her voice, and there was a little joy for the rest of her life after the catastrophe.
Qiao Xiu'e is the daughter of Zheng Youcai's co-worker, who works in the lamp room of the mine, has a good temperament, is capable and hard-working, and the most important thing is that she is very good to Zheng Youcai, especially knows cold and heat.
In Zheng Guihua's view, it is more important for her brother and daughter-in-law to be good to her brother than to her.
Zheng Guihua likes this brother and daughter-in-law very much, and when she heard this, she immediately grabbed her cold hand and rubbed it in her palm: "Don't talk about this in your family, you see that your hands are so cold, you don't have to wear gloves when you come out." ”
shouted outside again: "Zishu, twist a hot towel for your second concubine to wipe your face, and see how your face is pasted." ”
Lin Zishu quickly brought hot water and a hot towel, handed it to Qiao Xiu'e, and took alabaster for her to rub on her face by the way, so as not to blow the wind and turn her skin again.
Lin Jiaming instructed Lin Zishu: "Cook more meals, let your third uncle and three concubines eat and then go back." ”
The whole family revolved around Qiao Xiu'e, and Mrs. Zheng was angry.
Qiao Xiu'e's daughter-in-law is very capable, and she gave birth to a big fat boy after a year of marriage, and Mrs. Zheng is quite satisfied with this.
It's just that his own son is stupid, and this daughter-in-law has her own ideas, and she is not as obedient and easy to handle as a virtuous daughter-in-law and her own daughter.
Zheng Youcai has been married for almost two years, and Mrs. Zheng has tried many times to hold this daughter-in-law.
But firstly, his son Zheng Youcai is a fool, he only protects his daughter-in-law, and secondly, this daughter-in-law is also smart, she never carries her hard, and she will come forward with her son if there is anything, Mrs. Zheng feels that she has never been able to take advantage of her in front of her.
Fortunately, although Qiao Xiu'e was not bullied by Mrs. Zheng, she never came to bully her, and she went over to help Mrs. Zheng do housework from time to time, and also sent her some food during the New Year's holidays.
Mrs. Zheng is old after all, and she has begun to think about the issue of pension.
No matter how obedient the daughter and son-in-law are willing to pay, they are not surnamed Zheng.
Even if her son-in-law treats her well now, she asks for money and food, but she thinks that Lin Jiaming has never really considered her, otherwise why don't you arrange for your ambition to go to the grain station?
has three sons in his own family, and following his daughter and son-in-law is not a long-term solution after all, and outsiders will laugh at it after a long time.
The eldest son Youde said it well, and he talked about filial piety all day long, but he has been married for almost ten years, and he has never mentioned it, and took Mrs. Zheng to live in his house for a few days.
Up to now, Mrs. Zheng has not even eaten a few meals at Zheng Youde's house, and she knows in her heart that Zheng Youde's filial piety is limited to words, which is used to suppress osmanthus and talent.
The third son has the ambition to have a sweet mouth, and he is willing to give his mother to eat and drink, but he is a man with no ambition, and it is in vain that his father named him Youzhi, and he doesn't study well all day long, and the money he earns is not enough for him to spend on himself.
A few days ago, a letter came from Zhizhi, saying that he wanted to settle down in Qiyuan County and be a son-in-law for others, which made Mrs. Zheng half angry.
Because of this, she resented Lin Jiaming again, and felt that if Lin Jiaming arranged for Zheng Youzhi to work at the grain station, Youzhi would not have to be an educated youth.
If you don't want to be an educated youth, where do you want to be a son-in-law!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Zheng felt that her pension problem still had to fall on her second son Youcai.
Although this kid is a fool, he may do a good job, and his life will not be bad in the future, plus he is honest with people's hearts, and he can't stand too much sin with him.
In the future, she will follow the talent, and then let her daughter and son-in-law contribute a sum of money every year, and the pension problem will be solved.
It's just that she has to hold this daughter-in-law first.
Mrs. Zheng looked at her eldest son Youde, he has always been a good talker, the two of them have a tacit understanding, and they have used a filial piety word together for so many years, and they have crushed Zheng Guihua to death.
Now this trick can also be used on Qiao Xiu'e.
Mrs. Zheng looked at Qiao Xiu'e with a cold face and some angry eyes.
Qiao Xiu'e wiped her face, wrung a hot towel and handed it to her man, watching him wipe the soot and blood off his face and hands.
Only then did he turn his face and greet Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Youde with a smile.
"Mom, you're also here, really, you're talented and worrying about your mother again, when did the eldest brother come, I was worried about being talented, and I didn't say hello to the eldest brother, don't be surprised, eldest brother." ”
Mrs. Zheng squinted at her very unhappily, and Zheng You snorted with a snort.
My sister's family revolves around this brother and daughter-in-law, and Zheng Youde is very unhappy, feeling that he has been left out and his authority has been challenged.
But he didn't want to be angry with Qiao Xiu'e casually.
According to local customs, there is nothing particular about the relationship between the younger uncle and the sister-in-law, and you can joke at will, but the relationship between the eldest uncle and the younger sister-in-law (between the elder brother and the younger brother and the daughter-in-law) is more exquisite.
Don't be joking, you can't even say a few more words.
In addition to not eating Mrs. Zheng's tricks, in other aspects, Qiao Xiu'e did a good job, and for a while, Zheng Youde really couldn't find fault with her.
Of course, it's not impossible to pick out the bones in the egg, but Youcai, a stupid boy, doesn't know the overall situation, in case he jumps out and stirs up again, Zheng Youde will lose face.
Zheng Youde values his authority more than anything else, and it is better to be unnoticed now than to lose face.
Qiao Xiu'e could see that Zheng Youde was unhappy, but she didn't bother to take care of him, and only said hello politely.
She is not the honest and honest Lin Jiaming, who is pressed by them in the name of filial piety.
She will not be less fed and clothed than she should be fed, but no one wants to press her with filial piety, interfere with her life, and suck her blood.
An era of filial piety crushing people has passed, Qiao Xiu'e looked at the cowardly eldest sister, and secretly rejoiced in her heart that her man was honest and benevolent, but he was not stupid.
Others say that her family is talented and stupid, but in her opinion, it is really stupid to support the old lady and suffer from the old lady and Zheng Youde like the eldest sister.
The room was cold for a while, and Zheng Youde helped Mrs. Zheng with a calm face: "Okay, then you guys are busy, my mother and I will go back first." ”
Lin Jiaming hurriedly stayed: "Don't, it's so dark this day, I'll come back after dinner here." ”
Zheng Youde was not angry: "It's getting darker after dinner, what should I do if my mother is frozen?"
