Wash the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, fold the clothes on the bed in the closet, make the bed, use the vacuum cleaner to clean up the dust accumulated in all corners... , The woman was very busy, and Haohao was also very obedient today, and he put the toys scattered in the living room into the plastic box one by one.

Seeing that time passed bit by bit, the woman knew that she had no time to mop the floor, but fortunately the other items were almost cleaned up, at least on the surface, it would no longer give people a sloppy feeling. The woman took out the rag and wiped the visible marks on the furniture and the floor, and although it was a little sloppy, the whole looked clean and tidy.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment the doorbell rang at home, and the woman saw through the cat's eye that it was her mother who was standing outside. The woman called through the door, "Mom, you wait for me." Then she ran back to her bedroom, and she took out a set of clothes from the closet that she was usually reluctant to wear, and put them on herself.

The woman opened the door with as much peace of mind as possible, and when she saw her mother, a natural smile appeared on her face, "Mom, why don't you let me pick you up?"

The mother waved her hand indifferently, "What is there to pick up, it's not that I don't know where you live." Mother lifted a snakeskin bag in her hand, "These are all specialties of our hometown, I asked my relatives in the countryside to buy them for me, thinking that you haven't eaten them for a long time, so I brought some here." ”

The woman said that it was too tiring to take so many things on the train, and she should not bring anything like that in the future, but when she took the snakeskin bag, her arm sank, and she weighed the contents of the bag, which was probably more than twenty catties.

The woman wanted to say something, but noticed that her mother's eyes had begun to look at her home, and her eyes were full of doubt. The woman put the snakeskin bag in the kitchen, and she couldn't help but think that her mother was just coming to see her jokes, because of her decision to marry her husband in the countryside, the mother and daughter had quarreled many times, and even said that they would sever the relationship between mother and daughter.

The woman knows that her mother is a stubborn and unyielding person, and now that her husband is dead, it proves that her mother's statement is correct. She should really want to see my life in a mess, there is such speculation in the woman's heart, she and her mother's personality is somewhat similar, and she also refuses to admit defeat, even if she really loses, she doesn't want to show it in front of her mother.

"Grandma, you're finally here," Haohao ran over with a bright smile, and his mother naturally picked up his grandson, kissed him on the cheek and said, "Haohao is good, you've grown so tall, grandma can't hold it." ”

The woman took out the watermelon she bought two days ago from the refrigerator, fortunately this watermelon has not been eaten yet, otherwise the woman really has nothing to entertain her mother. When the refrigerator door was closed, the woman seemed a little sneaky, because there was so much space inside, and there was not even an egg, but the mother seemed to be playing with Haohao and didn't notice this.

The woman walked out with the cut watermelon, put it on the coffee table, and said to her mother, "Mom, eat some watermelon to cool off." ”

The mother hugged Haohao on her lap, first fed Haohao a mouthful of watermelon, and then ate it herself. "Yanyan, are you doing lately?" asked the mother with a solemn expression.

The woman paused for a moment, and then an indifferent smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I'm fine, Mom, you don't have to worry." ”

The mother threw the watermelon rind into the trash can and asked, "Your mother-in-law, they didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

The woman felt a tingling in her heart, and she wanted to say that her mother-in-law was unreasonable, and that she actually blamed her son's death on herself. However, seeing her mother's inquiring eyes, the woman still held back, "They didn't embarrass me, they all knew it was because of too many overtime hours." ”

The mother nodded as if she believed it, "Now that you are the only one working to make money, will the financial pressure be great?" I have always heard that Xiaogang's salary is relatively high, so you should have saved some savings over the years, right?"

The Xiao Gang in the mother's mouth is the woman's husband, and they finally let their daughter marry Xiao Gang, that is, for Xiao Gang's down-to-earth work and good conditions. The mother knows that they have not bought a house yet, so even if the family is borne by the daughter alone in the future, their savings should be able to support them for a long time.

The woman found that although her mother cared about her every word, she actually wanted to prove that she had won, and she just didn't listen to her in the first place, so she ended up now. When it comes to savings, the woman's body trembles even more involuntarily, if the 400,000 yuan is still in her hands, she can indeed allow herself and Haohao to maintain the past life, and her mother will never think that she has fallen into a situation where she can't even pay the rent.

In front of her mother, a woman can't say that she is suffering, if she is still the princess of the family in the past, maybe as long as she opens her mouth, her parents will transfer the money to her account without hesitation, but now that she has married into a family they strongly oppose, that relationship has long been irreversible.

This is also the reason why the woman chose to open her mouth to her mother-in-law to get back the 400,000, and never asked her parents for help. The woman is as good-looking as her mother, and she knows that if she opens her mouth now, the problem of rent may soon be solved by her mother, but that also means that she will lose completely, and the original righteousness and determination will become too ridiculous.

"Mom, we've saved a lot of money, and it's okay for me to work alone," the woman said softly, but she believed her mother didn't notice it.

After chatting a few words, her mother put Haohao aside and stood up from the sofa by herself, "Yanyan, it's almost time, it's time for me to go." ”

"Shall you go away so soon and not sit for a while?" asked the woman in surprise, for her mother had not been in the room for more than twenty minutes since she had entered.

"It's too late to catch the train," said the mother, with a kind smile on her face, "as long as I see that you're okay, I'm relieved." ”

The woman sent her mother out of the neighborhood and saw her back disappear into the corner, and the woman felt a sense of relief, she thought that she had not shown any flaws, and that her mother must have thought that she was still doing well.

When she returned home, the woman put the uncut watermelon on the other side back in the refrigerator, but just as she closed the door, she noticed an envelope in the upper right corner of the refrigerator where the eggs were placed.

The woman put the envelope in her hand suspiciously, and did not find any words on the front and back, the woman opened the envelope and a note fell out, with a sentence written on it: Yanyan, buy something delicious for Haohao.

In addition to this note, inside the envelope is a thick stack of RMB, is it because she saw the space in the refrigerator? The woman burst into tears all of a sudden, holding on to the refrigerator door and crying bitterly...

That night, the woman called home, and she had thought of an excuse to call, which could be to ask her mother if she had arrived home safely, or that the smoked bamboo shoots and bacon she brought were delicious, but when the mother's familiar voice came from the earpiece, the woman only said one word, "Mom", and then her throat seemed to be stuck, and tears flowed out of her eyes.

The woman held the microphone, her body trembled constantly, and her crying voice became louder and louder, without any deliberate cover-up, just like she was wronged when she was a child and ran to her mother's arms to cry bitterly.

The woman remembered the scenes of her youth, and her parents brought her so many good times, and these memories will not be erased even after quarrels. The woman admitted defeat in front of her mother, she used her cry to vent the grievances she had suffered over the years, and the five thousand yuan contained in the envelope was the last straw that crushed the woman's psychological defense. Women find it not so difficult to accept admitting that they are in distress and being harassed by their mother-in-law, after all, in this world, only biological parents will love themselves forever and unconditionally.
