Chapter 117: Marry Yourself
When my uncle came in, he muttered and asked my grandmother whose car belonged to the door: "Is Xixi back?"
I didn't want to deal with him as soon as I heard the greed in his words, and I don't know when I stopped being so afraid of being beaten by him, and now if he did anything to me or my grandmother again, I would definitely fight desperately.
When the footsteps reached the door, I gasped a few times and got up.
Ignoring my grandmother's obstruction, my uncle-in-law politely pushed open the door of my room. As soon as he saw me, he began to laugh, and his demeanor was the same as when the traitors in the anti-Japanese drama curry favor with the Japanese soldiers, which made me sick from the bottom of my heart.
"Xixi, are you back? It just so happens that I told you a family affair, and I will take you over to meet you tomorrow. As he spoke, he found a place to sit down, and babbled about how much trouble he had taken to find my in-laws, after all, I was not even innocent. He also complained that he didn't see me when he went to school to look for me last time, and only after complaining for a while did he realize that me, my grandmother, and my aunt who followed me were silent.
Grandma reprimanded him with a straight face: "Xixi is still studying, what kind of in-law are you looking for?"
She didn't tell my aunt and uncle about me and Zhuang Yan being together, she was afraid that they would pester me. So my uncle-in-law always thought that I was just an enlisted relationship with Zhuang Yan, and he never thought that Zhuang Yan was serious about me.
"Which little girl in the village is in her twenties and still not looking for her in-laws? If you are not in a hurry now, she will definitely not be able to marry in the future. It's not a yellow flower girl, if someone wants to get married quickly? What's the use of a woman reading so many books?"
"Uncle, I'm going to sleep, please go out. You are just my uncle, and you don't have to decide my marriage. "It's so refreshing to be able to talk to him so confidently, in fact, I'm still a little nervous, and I can't help but clench my fists.
The uncle-in-law was annoyed: "Why don't you want me to be in charge? I'm your old man! My brain is broken when I read, isn't it? I really don't go to the house for a few days. ”
As he spoke, he really stood up and wanted to find something like a feather duster to beat me, I gritted my teeth and glared at him, and my grandmother hurriedly stopped in front of me and scolded my uncle: "Didn't you say that you want to repent and live a good life? Xixi was brought up by me, what did you say when you didn't want her? It doesn't matter if the child is dead or alive, I don't agree to find her in-law's house, if you want to find her, wait until she finishes studying!"
My uncle-in-law was so angry that he used a feather duster to twitch at the end of the bed several times, and I was terrified when I heard the whirring sound, and I subconsciously hugged my grandmother. The memory of being beaten by him slowly revived, and I didn't know what was wrong with me, so I suddenly rushed over and snatched the feather duster.
My uncle-in-law looked at me in astonishment, his face flushed, but he shouldn't have been drinking, and he held back for a long time before saying, "Anyway, I've already helped you tell you about your mother-in-law's family, if you don't go to see me, I'll let them come tomorrow to propose." ”
After he finished speaking, he went back to his room angrily, and I yelled at his back: "I want to marry you yourself!"
My aunt didn't leave, she stood by the door and hesitated for a long time before telling us that her uncle-in-law had already received the bride price from the other party, and said that it had been used to pay off the debt: "Now that the debts have been paid off, the family is very good, the ocean building is very rich, and Xixi will definitely not suffer a loss when she marries......
If the son of that family was fine, he would not be stupid enough to give Uncle Qian in advance.
I don't care what kind of dealings they have, but it is absolutely impossible for me to follow their arrangement: "Auntie, you are really disgusting sometimes, you are all women, you have suffered all your life, and now you still want to harm me? You gave birth to me but never raised me, and now when you see that I am old and useful, you open your mouth and close your mouth My parents, do you have a conscience?"
After my aunt heard my words, her lips trembled all the time, and finally she didn't say anything, and went back to her room with her head down.
My tearful grandmother whimpered and told me not to worry, saying that she would never listen to her uncle-in-law this time, and she would not agree to let her uncle-in-law sell me like this.
I continued to persuade my grandmother: "They won't change, now that they have paid off their debts, they will definitely continue to live at home in the future." Grandma, you come with me, and I will raise you in the future. ”
She still hesitated, and not long after, there was a burst of beating and scolding in her uncle's room.
Jiang Yang was alarmed and hurriedly knocked on the door outside.
After I sent my grandmother back to her room, I ran out to explain to Jiang Yang what had just happened, he glared at me in shock, and after a while, he suddenly burst into laughter: "What age are you, you are still talking about family affairs like this here?"
I didn't sleep that night, and I didn't hear from Zhuang Yan until about 5 o'clock in the morning, saying that the diagnosis of foreign experts was the same as that of domestic experts, and that there was nothing wrong with Lele's heart.
At that time, I always thought that Zhuang Yan's father and son were psychologically shadowed by his mother's heart disease, and later I learned that there were other reasons.
I quickly replied with a message: I'll wait for you to come back.
He quickly called back, with the fragrance of flowers in his tone: "Xixi, I knew you hadn't slept yet." Hehe, we also invited experts in China, but we had to toss abroad. Even the doctor scolded me for being sick, saying that I had to say that my daughter had a bad heart...... Heeki, why don't you talk and cry?"
I have to say that he knows me very well, my mouth is shaking all the time, my eyes are dry and astringent, and I really want to cry. But maybe I cried too much in my dream last night, and I can't cry now.
He abruptly hung up the phone and switched to a video call.
He was lying on the bed, and Lele was lying quietly on his chest like a well-behaved kitten, and the father and daughter smiled at me together. The half of Lele's face on his neck was crushed and deformed, but the small face was still bright like an angel.
Zhuang Yan saw that there were no tears on my face, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you worried about it now? Seeing that you have lost weight, you haven't eaten well in the past few days, right?"
"It's delicious, I'm in my hometown, I want to take my grandmother over, is it okay?"
Without the slightest hesitation, he responded with a smile: "Of course you can, haven't you discussed this matter before? The old man has had surgery, you definitely don't worry about letting her live in the countryside." I rented a two-bedroom apartment to make it easier for you to settle the elderly, Xixi, don't see me. ”
"You're so nice. "I wanted to praise him a lot, but now I was so emotional that I didn't know how to express it. I saw that Lele kept blinking at me in the mirror, and couldn't help but wave at her: "Lele, do you still recognize me?"
Zhuang Yan's big hand immediately covered the back of her head, gently smoothed her hair a few times, and then lowered his head and kissed her little face twice: "Lele, why don't you call someone? Who bought candy for you before?"
Children are especially easy to coax, she swallowed her saliva immediately after hearing the word sugar, and unabashedly stretched out her little tongue and licked the corners of her mouth a few times: "It's Mom!"
Her milk voice softened my heart when I heard it, and I wanted to take her into my arms immediately.
"Lele just woke up, and now he is still a little blind. Hee, my dad wants to meet up with Yaru and her dad, and he may have to go back in two days. ”
I remembered what Jiang Yang said before, and asked him worriedly if the new company was about to be unable to open.
Zhuang Yan paused, and then smiled: "Don't worry about this, just study hard and graduate." Whether it can be maintained depends on what results my dad and her dad can negotiate first. ”
As he spoke, he wanted Lele to say a few words to me, when someone knocked on the door on his side, he went to open the door with Lele in his arms, and I heard Zhou Jin's voice. In the chaos, I saw that Lele quickly waved her little hand to ask Zhou Jin to hug her, and kept calling her "aunt" very enthusiastically.
After Zhou Jin took Lele away, Zhuang Yan explained to me with a little embarrassment: "Xiao Jin came here during our queue. ”
My heart suddenly began to feel stuffy, I didn't care about Zhou Jin following her, she helped contact foreign experts to help Lele do the examination, and I am also very grateful. But I still ate it, because my daughter was so intimate with her. I was jealous that she had the ability to make everyone like her, and that took my breath away.
But at the same time, I also secretly made up my mind in my heart that I must make myself better, at least let Zhuang Yan's family recognize me.
The next day I started packing my grandmother's clothes early in the morning, and she still refused to leave, but I didn't want to leave her anymore.
When I stuffed her clothes into Jiang Yang's trunk, my grandmother cried and came to grab her, saying that she couldn't leave, that she would die in the village, and that her roots were here, and that she couldn't live without the village.
I listened to her heartbroken and dragged her into Jiang Yang's car.
She didn't dare to kick around, because she was afraid of damaging Jiang Yang's car, but her tears still couldn't stop sliding.
My uncle-in-law was sleeping lazy, but after being woken up by my grandmother's crying, when he saw that we were leaving, he immediately asked his aunt to block the road and not feel at ease: "The man will come to see the house soon, and if he wants to leave, he will wait until he finishes leaving!"
Jiang Yang was so angry that he honked his horn: "Get out of the way! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will call the police!"
My aunt was so frightened that she shuddered, and when she turned back to look for her uncle, she found that he was moving straw to block the way!
I saw that Jiang Yang was very angry, and hurriedly got out of the car to clean up the road: "Uncle, do you want to be shameless? Don't you do this? I won't marry the family you helped me find! I have someone I like, don't you want to help me find my mother-in-law?"
I'm really going crazy, I will never associate with him and my aunt again, I will never recognize them as my parents.
I heard my grandmother yelling in the car, and when I ran over to take a look, I realized that Jiang Yang was calling the police. I shuddered and sighed helplessly, this time it was a big fuss.
But I didn't stop Jiang Yang, he was right, people like my uncle-in-law will only become more and more arrogant if they don't give some color, he just bullies the soft and thinks that I can't do anything about him.
However, it is rare for people in uniform to come to our village, and I don't know if my uncle-in-law will jump off the wall in a hurry after such a fuss.
My grandmother was still standing on my side, and seeing that I was standing next to me and not moving, she was so angry that she slapped the car window: "Xixi, you can't let people arrest your uncle, he is your father." ”
