This year's twenty-ninth month is Chinese New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Shen Linxian was called by Ji Qin, began to help clean the house again, in the middle of the morning, the three Shen Weiguo brothers were pasting couplets, Shen Weiguo jumped on a high stool and pasted the Spring Festival at the gate, and saw Shen Mei coming over with red eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shen Weiguo was startled, and hurriedly got down from the high stool: "Auntie, why are you here?"

He shouted into the courtyard: "Grandma, my aunt is here." ”

Shen Mei had red eyes, her complexion was not good, her hair was a little scattered, and her whole person looked very haggard, and when she saw Shen Weiguo, she almost didn't cry.

When Qian Guifang came out of the house, she saw Shen Mei standing in the yard, and when she saw Shen Mei's appearance, Qian Guifang felt a pain in her heart and quickly pulled her into the house.

Ji Qin was cooking in the kitchen, but when she heard the movement, she quickly washed her hands and entered the house.

Shen Linxian was writing couplets there, and there was just the last one left, so she hurriedly finished writing and put down the pen and went into the living room.

Shen Mei sat on the sofa, tears falling down in big drops, and she held Qian Guifang's hand tightly: "Mother, mother...... When I was a child, my family had no conditions, I wanted to be literate and learn things, but I couldn't, I couldn't help it, I easily encountered a good era, and the conditions of our family were better, why couldn't I live a good life?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qian Guifang looked at her eldest daughter crying like this, and she was really distressed: "Hurry up, is the surname Zhou bullying you?"

When she asked, Shen Mei cried even more sadly.

Qian Guifang jumped up angrily: "I'm looking for him, I'm going to ask him what my daughter can't do with him......"

Shen Mei hurriedly grabbed Qian Guifang: "Mother, don't go, don't go." ”

She dragged Qian Guifang and didn't let go, and Shen Linxian also came over to persuade: "Milk, you sit down first and listen to what your aunt says." ”

Shen Linxian got a basin of warm water for Shen Mei to wash her face, Shen Mei washed her face, and drank a cup of hot tea before her mood eased: "Mother, I can't stay in Xiaozhouzhuang for a day, I can't stay anymore, I want to go to the capital, I want to leave here." ”

"Then let's go to the capital. Qian Guifang waved her hand: "You can go wherever you want, my mother supports you." ”

"Mother. Seeing Qian Guifang supporting her so much, Shen Mei smiled.

Shen Linxian took the teacup and put it away: "Auntie, what's going on?"

As soon as she asked, she heard Shen Ju's voice coming, Shen Ju's voice was loud, and it came from afar: "Mother, is my eldest sister back?"

Before she finished speaking, she entered the house.

Seeing that Shen Mei's mood was not very good, Shen Ju immediately became angry: "Eldest sister, you are too honest, just ask them to bully you like this, if I had a big ear scraper earlier, I would be sad, and no one surnamed Zhou would be happy." ”

"Second aunt. Shen Linxian screamed and poured Shen Ju a cup of hot tea.

Shen Ju sat down with hot tea: "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you? Don't you just want to be motivated, want to run for a future, what's in the way? I also want to learn something, but I'm really not that material, I can't give up, I can only do some small business to make some money, if I have the ability of the eldest sister, I will also go to the United States to study." ”

In a word, Shen Mei's face softened a lot.

Shen Linxian sat down: "Second aunt, you know what's going on, right?"

When she asked, Shen Ju raised her eyebrows, obviously angry: "I know, why don't I know." ”

She put down the teacup angrily: "The surname Zhou is too bullying, it's really no one in our mother's house." ”

Shen Mei waved her hand: "Forget it, don't say it, let's say it." ”

She was in a much better mood now, and she told the story very gently.

It turned out that Shen Mei went home on the first day and got along well with Zhou Jun, in the end, the two of them had not seen each other for more than four years, and at first sight, they were naturally affectionate, and Zhou Jun put it down first if he was dissatisfied.

But within two days, Zhou Jun's eyes were not eyes and his nose was not his nose to Shen Mei.

As soon as Shen Mei put on makeup, he would inevitably put on his face, and when Shen Mei cleaned up and went out, he was full of unhappiness, so he had to ask Shen Mei to dress up like those old ladies in the village.

You know, this is the countryside in the 80s, and the women in the village who are about the same age as Shen Mei are all wearing old clothes.

Most of them are dark or gray wide cloth pants, black handmade cotton shoes, plus plain flower cotton jackets and dark blue four-eyed cloth gowns, hair is short, the head is covered with a scarf folded into a triangle, and the head is shrunk and the shoulders are slumped and the hands are slammed.

Before Shen Mei went abroad, she was also a neat person, although the clothes and pants she wore were all the same fabric and color, but the styles were all made by herself, with a waist and hips, she looked much better than those people.

When she goes abroad and sees more outside, she naturally looks down on such a dress.

It is said that the old should be arrogant and the young should be stable, Shen Mei now likes those colorful clothes, she thinks that when people are old, their skin is not as good as that of young people, if they wear such old-fashioned clothes, the whole person is gray and misty, and there is no feature at all, so she usually wears clothes with bright colors.

For example, bean green, for example, apricot, for example, red, even if the color is lighter, but the style is more exquisite.

When she dressed up like this, it naturally caused rumors.

Shen Meiyin thought that she would go to the United States after the New Year, and then go to the capital to develop, but there would not be many opportunities in the village in the future, and she didn't go to her heart.

But she didn't take it to heart, but Zhou Jun heard it in her ears, and turned around and scolded Shen Mei, saying that how old she was and still wearing lipstick, as if she had eaten a dead child, and she was still wearing such bright clothes, and she was so ostentatious, she was dressed like this, how could she marry her daughter-in-law in the future?

Shen Mei's ears were very piercing when she heard these words, but Shen Mei felt ashamed of Zhou Jun, so she endured it a few times before.

But the more she endured, the more arrogant Zhou Jun became, and he often scolded her later.

Seeing that she was still wearing such clothes, Zhou Jun began to do it, and once he didn't know who he believed outside, so he beat her when he went home and forced her to change back into the clothes in the village, Shen Mei was unwilling, and Zhou Jun was even more ruthless.

It was Zhou Tao who happened to come back and quarrel with Zhou Jun for a few words, and Shen Mei didn't suffer a big loss.

However, what made her even more sad was still to come, and her youngest son Zhou Hai came back and quarreled with her again, saying that she had embarrassed the Zhou family and told her not to go out in the future.

These words made Shen Mei even more sad, and she didn't sleep all night that night.

She felt depressed, depressed and bored, and really didn't want to stay in the village any longer.

When she woke up the next day, she got up with dark circles under her eyes, looked in the mirror and found that her face was ugly, so Shen Mei was very accustomed to wearing a little thick makeup to hide the haggard face.

As soon as she put on her makeup, Zhou Jun brought several girls from the Zhou family in.

When the girls entered the door, they began to rummage through Shen Mei's clothes, this one picked one, that one picked one, Zhou Jun not only did not stop it, but encouraged those girls to take more.

Zhou Jun didn't think about Shen Mei at all, let alone ask Shen Mei's opinion, which almost made Shen Mei angry.

After picking out clothes, Zhou Jun even told Shen Mei that he would take the girls of the Zhou family with him to go to the capital to develop in the future, saying that Shen Mei would bring these nieces more and find their mother-in-law in the capital in the future, and also said that Shen Linxian's grandfather was a powerful person, and asked Shen Mei to take the girls of the Zhou family to visit, in case there is a chance, everyone will have a bright face.

These foolish words, these foolish things, made Shen Mei feel uncomfortable, but she thought that it was almost the New Year, and she would wait for the New Year to slowly talk to Zhou Jun about these things.

As a result, Han Xiuying, the widow of Xiao Zhouzhuang, ran to the house last night, and as soon as she entered the door, she took Zhou Jun's hand and cried, crying breathlessly, saying that her little girl was sick again, and begged Zhou Jun to help send her to the hospital, and said that the family's money was not enough, and it would probably cost a lot of money to go to the hospital.

Zhou Jun didn't say a word at the time, didn't even look at Shen Mei, put all the money that Shen Mei brought back in his pocket, and pulled Han Xiuying away.

Shen Mei's heart was cold this time.

Then she saw that Zhou Hai also followed, saying that she wanted to help Aunt Han, and she was even more sad and sad.

It was Zhou Tao who comforted her, so she didn't get angry.

She also knew from Zhou Tao's words that in the past few years, Zhou Jun and the little widow have been a little too close, and she has earned some money in the past two years, and often sends money to the family, in order to make her son's life better, but Zhou Jun often uses it to fill the little widow.

These things made Shen Mei lose her mind to eat, and she got up and went back to the house to cry.
