Liu's mother is a distant relative of her mother-in-law, who has stayed in Zhang's family for more than 40 years, and usually eats at the table. At the rectangular dining table, the mother-in-law sat directly above, Xu Anzhi and Zhang Nan sat next to each other on the left, and Liu's mother sat on the mother-in-law's right. Xu Anzhi raised her head and pointed to her mother-in-law with a smile and said, "Sister Ke An, sit here, Mother Liu is a left-hander, and she will turn around you in a while." ”

It sounds like I really take good care of me, obviously it means not letting me eat, and it is impossible for me to stand up and pick up vegetables according to the rules of the Zhang family's meal. staring at the plate of braised pork and stewed soft-shelled turtle soup in front of Xu Anzhi and her mother-in-law, her stomach "growled" twice, and she picked up chopsticks and kept pinching the plate of vegetables in front of her.

I tried not to look at the dishes piled up in front of her as much as possible, for the purpose of filling my stomach, I ate a little food and there was a burst of acid reflux, and after going to the bathroom to vomit, I saw my mother-in-law sitting on the sofa with a black face: "Ke An, my mother also understands that pregnancy will have pregnancy reactions, but everyone is eating? This is the Zhang family, and there must be rules for eating, not your mother's family in Ningchuan." ”

"I'm sorry Mom. "After apologizing, I still wanted to serve the table, but I saw Xu Anzhi enthusiastically holding up her big belly, pouring all the leftovers on the table into the bowl of soup, and watching what I wanted to eat being thrown away, I felt like I had stretched out my hand. He swallowed, turned and went inside.

I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I got up and went out to get a glass of water to satisfy my hunger. Mother Liu, who lived in the next room, heard the movement, put on her coat and gently opened the door, and when she saw me, she whispered, "Madam, are you hungry?"

The two lines of tears flowed down without holding back, and nodded gratefully at Liu's mother. Mother Liu turned around and entered the house, and somewhere brought a bowl of braised pork to me and handed it to me: "Eat it quickly." ”

I was afraid that the movement would be too loud and noisy to my mother-in-law, so I didn't dare to go to the kitchen to heat it in the microwave, so I stood in the living room and devoured a bowl of cold meat. ”

Lying back in bed, but unable to fall asleep again, this bowl of braised pork reminded me of too many thoughts. When I was very young, my dad was just a slaughterhouse owner, and for as long as I can remember, the most eaten thing in the family was braised pork. I never imagined that one day, it would be so difficult for me to eat meat.

Later, the state restructured and banned the pig professional cooperatives of Ningchuan Supply and Marketing Cooperative. My dad saw an opportunity and turned the slaughterhouse into a food factory, producing and processing chilled pork. Later, the food factory was thriving, and my father seized the opportunity of the renovation of the old city of Xiuchuan City and successfully entered the real estate industry.

In this way, he went from a nouveau riche to a business tycoon in Ningchuan City, and I also changed from an ordinary child to a daughter. Even after marrying into the Zhang family, my mother-in-law always sneered at me and said that I was the daughter of a nouveau riche, and my inferiority was too strong. also often said intentionally or unintentionally that Zhang Nan should either marry an authentic daughter, who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and obeys the rules, or marry a child of an ordinary people's family, who is not stubborn in his thinking and easy to train.

In fact, I was very aggrieved, since I arrived at the Zhang family, I have abided by the rules of the Zhang family, and carefully tried not to anger my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, she already had a bad heart, and her opinion of me could never be changed.

When the sky was slightly bright outside, I heard another voice from Shi Xiaodan's house opposite. But I can't hear it clearly, probably he was found by his father, and he was arguing loudly.
