224. Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law
Mr. Ouyang came to our house again, different from before, this time, he brought a lot of things, a mess, in short, they are all baby products.
I don't know where he found out that we had a child, but when he came to see my son, he was as happy as he was seeing his grandson.
I actually refused to hold the child for him, so I had to give Qin Jianghao some face.
"What's the child's name?" asked Mr. Ouyang.
I didn't speak, Qin Jianghao told him, "It's called An Lan." ”
"Good name. ”
"Fall and take. "As soon as Qin Jianghao has the opportunity, he will give me a sense of existence in front of Mr. Ouyang.
I don't really need him to look up to him at all, and I don't take him very seriously anyway.
Mr. Ouyang raised his eyelids and glanced at me, but I turned my eyes away and didn't see it.
He hugged the child and teased me, and he didn't pay attention to me anymore, really, he obviously has a child himself, why is his clothes so rare for my child.
Aunt Lin saw that there were guests at home, so she was going to go out to buy more vegetables, I didn't want to see Mr. Ouyang, so I offered to go with her, the child Qin Jianghao looked at me and was relieved, just call us if you have something.
The purple-black birthmark on Aunt Lin's face is very conspicuous, and when she goes out to pass by others, there are always people staring at the birthmark on her face, and even showing disgust.
Aunt Lin has always walked with her head down, very unconfident, she doesn't actually do this when she is at home, but when she goes out, she seems to be afraid that others will see the birthmark on her face, probably because she was disgusted by her son's girlfriend, so she became so inferior when facing strangers.
It's a heart disease, I don't know how to help her, and if I say something rashly, it may hurt her even more. The only thing I can do is to do what I have to do and what I can, and not to hurt others as a matter of course.
In fact, there is nothing ugly about appearance, after all, it is given by our parents, and it is not up to us to choose, but no matter how ugly it is, there is no ugly person who is ugly, and no ugly person is terrible.
When we arrived at the vegetable market, Aunt Lin and I picked and bought a lot of meat dishes, and when we went out of the door, we heard the sound of someone bargaining fiercely, it was a young pregnant woman, because it was unpleasant to cut with the other party, and finally the two quarreled directly. After a while, a group of people surrounded to watch the excitement, and the pregnant woman was not afraid of being embarrassed, and was still fighting with each other. Anyway, now that she is pregnant, people don't dare to touch her, and they can splash as much as they want.
I just thought it was lively, just take a look or two, Aunt Lin looked at the woman, but her expression was wrong.
"Is it someone you know?" I asked Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin lowered her head and sighed, but did not speak.
It seems that they do know each other. But she wouldn't say, and I didn't want to ask again, and said, "Let's go." ”
Aunt Lin walked a few steps with me, and looked back at the pregnant woman a few times, looking very uneasy, but it didn't seem that she didn't want to greet the other party, or rather, she didn't want the other party to find out, so she always avoided the front of the pregnant woman intentionally or unintentionally.
I had a conjecture in my mind, but I thought that I was probably wrong, after all, judging by the dress of the pregnant woman and arguing with others for a few cents, it did not meet the identity of the person in my heart at all.
But Aunt Lin ......
"You're sick, buy if you can afford it, get out of here if you can't afford it, don't delay my business here." The aunt who sold vegetables finally scolded the pregnant woman unbearably.
The pregnant woman is not a vegetarian at first glance, and her eyes are really scary, "I don't think you can do this black business, I haven't seen anyone buy your food after standing here for a long time, Miss Ben is kind enough to buy it for you, you should be cheaper, you don't understand this basic principle of life, you do a fart business." ”
"It's obvious that you're lazy, and you don't like the smell of killing chickens and fish, right? If you're too lazy to take a few steps, you should pay more, and you don't want a booth fee for me? My booth fee is much more expensive than theirs, and it's natural to charge a little more money, and if you can't afford it, get out, when I want to sell it to you!"
The more the two quarreled, the more intense they became, their faces and necks were red at each other, and they almost looked like they were about to fight. Aunt Lin still couldn't stand it after all, walked over and persuaded the pregnant woman, "You, don't be angry if you are pregnant." “
When the pregnant woman saw Aunt Lin, her face was surprised for a moment, but soon her face was even more ugly than that of the aunt who sold vegetables, she took a few steps back, and stayed away from Aunt Lin, as if she was some kind of plague, and looked at her with disgust and asked loudly, "Why did you come here?"
Aunt Lin's inferiority complex was instantly humbled to the extreme in front of the pregnant woman, and her head was so low that she almost shrank into her neck, as if she wanted to prevent the pregnant woman from seeing the birthmark on her face, "I, I'm here to buy vegetables." ”
"Who asked you this? I asked you why you came back to China?" the pregnant woman yelled impatiently.
Aunt Lin lowered her head and didn't speak, as if she was very jealous of the pregnant woman, although it seemed to be inconsistent on the surface, but judging from her attitude towards Aunt Lin and the sentence she asked just now, it was what I guessed, that Aunt Lin's son was looking for the daughter of a rich family was right.
It's just that now it seems that maybe they suffered something not long ago, and they ended up in the dejected way they are now.
"Aunt Lin, it's time for us to go. I stood on the side and said to Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin glanced up at me, then at the pregnant woman again, and walked over to me.
"Who is she?" the pregnant woman looked at me and asked Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin didn't answer her, she couldn't speak, probably because her relationship with me is not convenient to say now, the other party already dislikes her very much, if she knows that Aunt Lin is a nanny in my house, maybe she will say even more ugly things to Aunt Lin.
"I'm her daughter-in-law, what, you know my mother?" I said, looking at the pregnant woman.
"Oh, who knows her. The pregnant woman glanced at Aunt Lin with disgust and said.
Fortunately, Aunt Lin is looking at me now, and she didn't notice that look, otherwise she would definitely be hurt by that look and retract her head into her neck.
"It's good that I don't know, so I'll tell my mother how she knows a shameful relative like you. ”
"Who do you say is embarrassing?" The pregnant woman exploded in an instant, and I was so worried that her eyeballs would fall off.
"Just say you, it's really splashy. "I despise the word.
Not only splashed, but also black-hearted, I thought that she would be so beautiful as a fairy if she disliked other people's appearances, but she looked so crooked and cracked, her eyes were cut double eyelids at a glance, and she was embarrassed to dislike Aunt Lin, if Aunt Lin didn't have that birthmark on her face, she would be more than ten times better than her.
"Isn't it? Whoever has such a relative has a black face. The aunt who sold vegetables next to her also began to hurt the pregnant woman again.
The pregnant woman was so angry that she opened her mouth and began to scold, and then quarreled with the aunt who sold vegetables, and Aunt Lin came to pull me, meaning that I should stop worrying with her.
Although I really want to scold her, for Aunt Lin's sake, I won't worry about her.
"Let's go back. "I said, the more I look at this woman, the more angry I become, but I can't do anything about it, let's say a few words about her, Aunt Lin is distressed again. What can I do, only out of sight is pure.
Aunt Lin couldn't do anything about that woman, and she was disgusted when she stayed, so she could only follow me.
"Miss Bai, thank you. "Aunt Lin told me that it was probably because I lied to the pregnant woman that she was my stepmother.
"What is there to thank, Aunt Lin, don't let her always show you a look just because she is your son's daughter-in-law, you have to learn to protect yourself, whether it is dignity or self-esteem. ”
Aunt Lin was silent and didn't speak, I can't do anything about her, after all, not everyone's thoughts can be one, in front of the dearest and beloved, sometimes people do have low self-esteem, I have also had low self-esteem, her inferiority probably comes from feeling embarrassed for her son. And my low self-esteem is that I am afraid that I am not worthy of that excellent person.
In the final analysis, it is the outsiders who see things with a sharp knife to cut the mess, but the people in the bureau are untidy and messy.
When I went back, I was still angry about this, Qin Jianghao didn't know what I was angry about, he saw that my face was not good-looking, thinking that I was because Mr. Ouyang was still at home and did not leave, so he whispered to me in private, let me look at his face, and don't leak out my dissatisfaction in front of Mr. Ouyang.
After all, Mr. Ouyang lent a helping hand to him and his mother when they were in the most difficult time, and gave them a new life and a home sheltered from the wind and rain, although he seemed indifferent, but in fact he was very affectionate and righteous, so his gratitude to Mr. Ouyang would not be shaken by anything.
Therefore, he praised me in front of Mr. Ouyang whenever he had the opportunity, just because he wanted Mr. Ouyang to look at me differently, and hoped that the mustard between me and Mr. Ouyang could be untied as soon as possible.
It's the first time he's asked me so sincerely, of course I'll give him face, but this has nothing to do with Mr. Ouyang at all, so I don't have to pretend to be in the mood at all, right?
I'd better go away, don't be an eyesore, and then went to the kitchen to help Aunt Lin, only to find her secretly wiping her tears in the kitchen.
What should I do now? Should I turn around and go out as if I didn't see it, or should I comfort her? But I'm not very good at comforting people.
I want to go out, watching her chop vegetables while wiping her tears, I was very worried that she would accidentally cut her hand or something in this state, so she walked over and said, "Aunt Lin, you will live in our house in the future, they don't rare you, our family is rare to you, don't be sad." After saying that, he snatched the kitchen knife from her hand and took over her unfinished work.
Aunt Lin was silent for a while, and said in a choked voice, "Miss Bai, thank you." ”
"Call me Luoluo in the future, don't be so polite to me. In fact, I know that my words will not bring her much comfort, no matter how good the place in this world, no matter how good the person, will it be better than her own home, better than her relatives?
Not.
