Dongmei took Nana's hand and picked her up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking into her mother-in-law's back room, Dongmei put Nana on the stool next to her and watched her mother-in-law not speak.

After the mother-in-law gave Taotao goat's milk, she had already put away the bowl and bottle.

When the mother-in-law saw Nana coming in, she went to make steamed buns in sugar water that she had placed on the stand.

During this time, my mother-in-law has always been like this, drinking goat's milk for Taotao every day and giving Nana sugar water to make steamed buns.

Steamed buns soaked in sugar water are soaked in a bowl of boiling water with melted brown sugar, and steamed buns are basically not nutritious at all.

The mother-in-law was about to feed Nana the sugar water steamed buns, and suddenly Dongmei stood in front and didn't let Nana eat the sugar water steamed buns.

She questioned her mother-in-law, "What is this that you gave Nana, and is it nutritious?"

When Wei Guo's mother saw Dongmei's menacing appearance, she knew that the visitor was not good, so she put the bowl back on the stander and said, "Why is the steamed bun soaked in sugar water not nutritious? ”

Dongmei walked up to her mother-in-law, pointed at Nana and said, "You give Nana sugar water to make steamed buns every day, what do you see what you have eaten the doll, her belly is so big, she is severely malnourished, what will she do in the future?"

Wei Guo's mother walked around next to Dongmei, walked up to Nana and said, "What's wrong with the doll, what's wrong with the sugar water running buns?" When your man Wei Guo was a child, I didn't have milk, and I was still fed with batter, and it wasn't as good as it was. ”

Dongmei heard her mother-in-law's unreasonableness, and then looked at Nana's yellow and thin face, leaned on the cabinet and trembled angrily and said: "You yourself are patriarchal, you have to teach the child, I see that the child has been taught by you, according to your like this, Nana's body will have problems sooner or later." ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, her daughter-in-law dared to argue with herself, so she escalated the problem and said: "I see that Wei Guo is not there, you are against you, and if there is no man to care about you, you will be wild." ”

Dongmei heard that her mother-in-law was obviously messing around, so her angry hand shook, and she knocked the bowl of sugar water soaked buns on the cabinet to the ground without paying attention.

When her mother-in-law saw that Dongmei was bold, she dared to smash the bowl in front of her, so she pointed at Dongmei's head and scolded: "You shameless thing, our Cui family will give you food and drink, if you are not grateful, just smash things, you go back to me, our Cui family doesn't want you anymore, I will now let people send a telegram to Weiguo, let him come back and divorce you." ”

Mother-in-law's words pierced Dongmei's heart like a needle prick, she thought that since she married into your Cui family, she has been a cow and a horse, working day and night, giving birth to two children for you, and now she is still eating and drinking for nothing, the more a person pays, the more she can't give up, she can't cry and say: "Okay, I'll go, I don't want anything, give me two children." ”

At this time, the father-in-law who was chopping wood outside also walked in because he heard the sound of breaking the bowl, not only did he not pull Weiguo's mother to save the situation, but also said to Dongmei in person: "You are too uneducated, how much does a bowl cost, do you know? I don't know how to cherish things at all, it's really an uneducated thing." ”

When the mother-in-law saw her father-in-law coming in, she said even more confidently: "It's just that I don't have any education at all, I don't earn a penny, and I don't know how to save my life, you go, our Cui family can't tolerate you Yin Dongmei." ”

The father-in-law also shook his hand and added a sentence: "You go, our Cui family can't afford to entertain you." ”

Originally, Dongmei only regarded her mother-in-law's words as a quarrel, and she didn't really want to leave this house, but her father-in-law, who had never spoken and kept silent, also blamed herself, and let herself go, it seems that it has reached the worst point, and there is really no need to stay in this house.

But think about it again, she didn't do anything wrong, not even at all, she was kicked out of the door by her in-laws, no, even if she left, she had to take the child with her, so she cried and begged her mother-in-law to be fair: "The child is a piece of meat that fell from my body, and I want to take the child away." ”

The mother-in-law replied to Dongmei in a firm tone: "Impossible, the child is the queen of our Cui family, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Dongmei was stabbed all over her body by her mother-in-law's words again, how could her child have nothing to do with her, so she took a step back and said, "Okay, Taotao, I don't want it, but Nana I must take it away." ”

Taotao, who was standing next to him, heard his mother say that she wanted to take her sister away instead of herself, so she cried out and said, "Mom, don't go, I want to go with you." ”

Nana was too young to listen to adults, but when she saw her mother and brother crying, she started crying herself.

Although the two children have been brought by their mother-in-law for a long time, Dongmei is her mother after all, and they can't do without her mother anyway.

At this time, the mother-in-law took Nana in her arms, and the father-in-law next to her held Taotao in her arms and said, "The doll is ours, you have to go by yourself." ”

Dongmei saw that they were determined to force themselves to go, and they were not allowed to take the children.

However, she can't forcibly snatch the child from the hands of two old people, as an honest and simple rural woman without a job, the only thing she can do is to mutilate her body in exchange for custody of the child.

Dongmei argued: "If you don't give me the child, I will die in front of you today." ”

The mother-in-law hugged Nana tighter, and said righteously: "Even if you touch death, the doll can't give it to you." ”

Rural women in that era, if divorced, would be under a lot of pressure, not only difficult to get married again, but also laughed at by the neighbors around them.

Dongmei held back tears, gritted her teeth and asked, "Ask you one last time, will the child give it to me?"

The mother-in-law said loudly, "No." ”

After listening, Dongmei turned around and hit her head against the cabinet next to her, only to hear a "bang", the wooden cabinet was knocked out of a big nest, and Dongmei's head was hit and bled and fell to the floor.

However, Dongmei did not faint, she rolled on the ground, continued to hit her head on the floor, on the wall, on the stool, and in her mouth, "I won't live today." ”

Nana struggled in her grandmother's arms to get down and rush into her mother's arms.

Taotao, who was pulled by his grandfather, also cried, shouting for his mother not to bump into him.

Dongmei was still frantically banging her bloodied head against the wall.

Mother-in-law and father-in-law looked at Dongmei's situation, it was simply playing with their lives, if it went on like this, it would be okay, they had to make trouble, they didn't want the child to have a mother, Weiguo had no wife, although what he said just now hated a little, but it was not what they said in their hearts, they just wanted to scare and scare Dongmei, let her be a little better in front of them, so the two old men softened.

When my mother-in-law saw the blood on the ground, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

And the father-in-law used all his strength to hold Dongmei.

The mother-in-law who was holding the side of the kang softened Dongmei and said: "If you have something to say, don't bump into it, all the children belong to you, if you want to take a few, take a few." ”

The father-in-law who was holding Dongmei glared at his mother-in-law and said, "It's still nonsense." ”

The mother-in-law immediately found a step down and said: "What we scolded you just now was all angry words, I didn't expect you to take it seriously, you must not be like this, what will happen in the future, we will discuss it." ”

Dongmei, who was lying on the ground, already felt a little dizzy, but she heard every word her mother-in-law said clearly, so she staggered up from the ground and didn't say a word.

After the two children broke free from the hands of their mother-in-law and father-in-law, they rushed into Dongmei's arms like wild horses that had escaped.

Dongmei cried and hugged her two children, she felt much safer, and only her two children could give Dongmei the courage to face everything.

She took her two children and walked into her own house in the backyard.

She was going to go back to her parents' house, but she was so dizzy that she couldn't walk at all, so she locked them up and lay on the kang, and her two treasures were glued to her like magnets, one on the left and one on the right lying quietly beside her.

In the middle of the night, Nana, who was lying next to Dongmei, woke up when she fell asleep, woke up when she fell asleep, and then cried for a while while and continued to sleep, and then woke up again and cried for a while while holding her belly.

Dongmei felt strange, struggled to get up from the kang, hugged Nana tightly in her arms, and asked her softly: "Don't cry, baby, tell your mother what's uncomfortable." ”

Nana closed her eyes and said with a very sleepy but uncomfortable expression, "Mom, I have a bad stomach. ”

Dongmei looked at Nana's bulging belly, and said distressedly: "It's the third watch in the middle of the night, the doctors are all sleeping, Nana insisted, tomorrow my mother will take you to the big hospital in the township to see Nana." ”

Nana opened her worried eyes, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I want to eat half a piece of candy so that I can last until tomorrow." ”

This stumped Dongmei, last time from the money given to her by her mother-in-law, she saved a few cents, bought a few candies, took one at a time, bitten in half, Nana ate half, Taotao ate half, but the only few candies have been eaten, where to find them.

Dongmei looked at Nana guiltily and said: "Mom has no money, I have eaten all the candy I bought last time, and when I wait for tomorrow, my mother will ask for five yuan from my grandmother, and when I take Nana to the township to see a doctor, I will buy ten candies for Nana." ”

Nana nodded happily, but as soon as she fell asleep, she woke up crying again after a while, and said to Dongmei: "Mom, I don't eat half of it, you give me half of it, and then bite half of it for me to eat, and I won't cry." ”

Dongmei knew that Nana thought that she would not give her candy, but it was true that all the candy she bought had been eaten, Dongmei looked at Nana and knew that the child would want to eat candy very much, but as a mother, she couldn't do anything.

Just when she was in trouble, Taotao next to her suddenly spoke: "Mom, you give your sister some medicine, the skin of the medicine is sweet." ”

Dongmei suddenly realized that the cold medicine I bought last time and didn't finish it, the sugar coating on it was sweet, but let Nana eat it.

However, how did Tao Tao know, she suddenly remembered a few times when she took cold medicine, and found that there was no sugar coating on the pill, it turned out that Tao Tao secretly took the pill in his mouth and licked the sugar coating on the pill.

Dongmei knew that Taotao was greedy and wanted to eat sugar, but she didn't expect him to come up with the idea of cold medicine sugar-coating.

Dongmei asked Taotao, "Why did you wake up?" ”

Tao Tao smiled and said, "I want to eat candy too." ”

Dongmei got down from the kang and took out the cold medicine in the drawer, a total of eight, four Taotao, and four Nana, and only licked the sugar coating on the pills, and never dared to swallow the pills.

Nana and Taotao happily took the pill in their mouths, licked the sugar coating on the pill, and after a while, they finished the sugar coating, they each spit out the pill and put it in Dongmei's hand.

Dongmei put the pills back into the plastic bag and ate the uncoated pills if she had a cold next time.

The two children ate the candy and fell asleep contentedly.
