Chapter 039: Regrets of Past Lives
With an extra 500 yuan in savings at home, Wang Yingru seems to have confidence, and the salary Zhang Shouguo got back was basically used by her to improve her life.
In addition to boiling an egg for Zhang Qing every other morning, I can occasionally see some meat.
When Zhang Shouguo returned in April, as Zhang Qing expected, the two inevitably quarreled.
In the end, no one could convince anyone, so Wang Yingru took Zhang Qing back to her parents' house in a fit of anger.
When I returned to my parents' house, I heard good news: Wang Yingru's second sister-in-law was pregnant again.
The second brother Wang Yueqiang is five years older than Wang Yingru, he was born just in time for the 60 years of famine, and he couldn't eat enough all day, so he didn't grow tall.
Now there is only one eldest daughter, Wang Ling, who is three years older than Zhang Qing.
Sun Qiaoer has a clever word in her name, but she is not a coincidence at all, she can't fry vegetables, she can't cook rice, and she can't even steam steamed buns.
The steamed buns during the Chinese New Year were all made by her mother-in-law Li Xiujuan and sent to her.
It's just clumsy, lazy, and doesn't like to do work, and I don't like to do it.
The family relies on Wang Yueqiang inside and out.
Wang Yueqiang also accepted his fate, and he had the right to marry a daughter-in-law and come back in order to pass on the lineage.
Although this Sun Qiaoer is lazy and stupid, her personality is quite straightforward, but her voice is loud and too big, and she is usually not very likable.
After giving birth to her eldest daughter Wang Ling, she was pregnant again after a gap of two years, but she didn't keep the child because she didn't pay attention.
After that, there was no movement for three years.
It's a great joy to get pregnant again this time!
It's been more than three months now.
It was also because it was three months before the good news came out.
Li Xiujuan has been at Wang Yueqiang's house during the day for a while, serving her pregnant daughter-in-law.
When Wang Yingru came, Li Xiujuan was washing Sun Qiaoer's clothes.
"Grandma!" Zhang Qing took small steps and ran to Li Xiujuan.
"Hey, Xiao Qingqing!" Li Xiujuan took Zhang Qing in her arms with her arms, and complained to Wang Yingru again, "You haven't been back for many days!"
"Half a month," Wang Yingru looked at the room, raised her chin and pointed, and asked in a low voice, "What is my second sister-in-law doing inside?"
"Sleep," Li Xiujuan let go of Zhang Qing, then washed her clothes, and said, "I've been drowsy all day long in the past two months." ”
"So you're busy inside and out?" Wang Yingru said distressedly, "Aren't you tired?"
"Well, what can be done then? She doesn't dare to do anything now, just in case it's the same as last time," Li Xiujuan put her clothes on the washboard and rubbed them, and said, "Besides, I don't worry about letting her do things, just her big grin, what if something happens." ”
Zhang Qing looked at her grandmother who was constantly working and thinking about her children in front of her, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.
She really wanted to say to her grandmother, "What's the use of working and paying for them now! When you are old, do you know how they treat you?"
Wang Xiande and Li Xiujuan had a total of five children, three boys and two girls, and Wang Yingru ranked fourth.
When the eldest Wang Yuezhi was twenty years old, he went to the Northeast alone, and later he was very promising, but he also settled in the Northeast and couldn't come back for a few years.
There are two sons and two daughters left in the family.
In rural areas, when parents are old, their sons are required to fulfill their obligation to support them.
Wang Xiande is nearly ten years older than Li Xiujuan, and when he was old, he unfortunately got that disease, and until he died, Li Xiujuan took care of him personally.
Therefore, although he did not enjoy any blessings from his children, he did not suffer from their grievances.
After Wang Xiande's death, Li Xiujuan lived alone for more than ten years.
In the first years, she was in good health and could take care of herself, and when the juniors came, she was also busy.
But when she got older, she began to be unable to wash clothes and could no longer cook.
Wang Yingru was diligent when she went back to her parents' house at that time, and she could help her wash her clothes, and some food was also prepared and brought to her.
But later, Li Xiujuan got Alzheimer's disease.
At first, the symptoms were mild, and no one cared, or rather, no one noticed anything unusual about her.
It wasn't until later that she began to run out in the middle of the night to knock on other people's doors, she who had treated her daughter-in-law well all her life, she even began to scold her daughter-in-law, she began to walk around during the day and couldn't find her way home, and she turned around and gave things to others when she bought her......
Engage in all sorts of unbelievable behaviors.
The sons complained about her, and the daughters-in-law disliked her, but later, at Wang Yingru's suggestion, took her to the hospital.
Then he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and took the medicine back to take it.
Maybe those medicines only have the effect of curbing the development of the disease, but they don't see obvious improvement, Li Xiujuan is still like that, so after taking the medicine, the daughters-in-law are distressed about the money, and no one mentions continuing to take medicine.
Her later medicines were all bought for her by Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing had just graduated from college at that time and started to work to earn money, and it was particularly uncomfortable to see her grandmother, who was going to be better for a lifetime, look like she was old.
What's even more uncomfortable is that the grandmother, who has devoted her life to her children and treats her daughter-in-law like a daughter, has Alzheimer's disease, but she has not received her due reward.
In fact, in terms of grandma's support, these children in the family did not spend much money.
Every month, my uncle would mail 1,000 yuan back to my grandmother from the northeast, and he often said to his younger siblings at home: "You contribute, I will contribute." ”
An old man, just eat and drink, how can he spend a thousand yuan a month?
When grandma was not confused, she often saved money for Wang Yingru, and she always felt that her little daughter was the most difficult one.
Later, she was confused, and she was not willing to give the money sent to her by her uncle to others, maybe it could give her a sense of security.
But she couldn't continue to live alone like that, and after the children discussed, they decided to take turns to support the second and third uncles.
The money sent by the uncle, when it is the turn of the family, the family will take it as the food money for the grandmother.
However, grandma carries a thousand yuan a month for food, what does she eat?
Although the two sons are still filial, they work outside all day, so how can they take care of what to eat at home?
It's not all daughters-in-law who call the shots.
The second aunt always complained that grandma was partial to the third family and her daughters, so she didn't care about grandma, and often went to the market to buy a few buns, and gave grandma two buns for a meal.
Because my grandmother felt that she was not good to herself, she scolded her once, and since then she has hatred in her heart, and the third aunt is a very thrifty person, and she is reluctant to spend a penny more, and it is common for a piece of steamed bread to add a bowl of boiled water.
The 1,000 yuan a month basically went into the pockets of the two daughters-in-law.
In this way, grandma is doing even worse.
But even so, grandma has to be complained about and difficult to serve.
Before the two uncles took turns to support her, Wang Yingru came back every once in a while, bought this and that for her grandmother, and made something she loved to eat.
But after the two uncles took turns to support her, Wang Yingru also felt that her grandmother had something to rely on, and she was not as diligent as before when she returned to her parents' house.
It has been less than a year since the two families took turns to raise them, and grandma went!
