Chapter 499: Suffering is a blessing

Although when Ji's father left home angrily, he didn't want to have any more contact with his old family, but later, as he grew older, his feelings for his hometown became deeper and deeper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Father Ji thought to himself that he would still be buried in his hometown in the next hundred years, and if he had a stiff relationship with his relatives in his hometown, and when the time came, he would not even have a place to bury him, which would not be good.

Therefore, Dad Ji has also helped a lot of relatives in his hometown in private over the years, and every time someone comes to his hometown, Dad Ji gives them some money to bring back, and if there are clothes or outdated household appliances that he doesn't wear, he also secretly let his old family take them away.

Last time, Huo Wuxian gave Ji's father cigarettes and good wine, and Ji's father also shared some for the old family to take back, and later Ji's mother knew about it, and she had a big quarrel with Ji's father.

Now Ji Ran is going to get engaged, this is a major event in life, Ji's father thinks that when he gets married in the future, there can be no one on his mother's side, so he wants to invite Ji Ran's uncles and aunts to have an engagement banquet to contact the feelings, and when Ji Ran gets married, he will also have a lot of personal support.

However, Ji's mother didn't buy it at all, thinking that those relatives in her hometown were all snobs, and when they were down, they all fell into the well and came to bully people.

Therefore, Ji's mother resolutely disagreed to let someone come to her hometown, so Ji's father quarreled with Ji's mother.

"Dad, don't blame my mother, if it weren't for my grandmother bullying us so much in the early years, my mother wouldn't have been so indifferent to the relatives in my hometown, when the house was divided, the third uncle still grabbed your collar and wanted to beat you, have you forgotten?" Ji Ran said to Ji's father.

Father Ji recalled what happened back then, and sighed helplessly, "Ranran, you have to look forward as a person, don't mention the past, your third uncle's family conditions are not good, and the family has a son, and he will build a house for his son to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, so it is understandable to ask for more foundations." ”

"Dad, why do you still have a patriarchal mentality? a son is a human, but a daughter is not a human?" Ji Ran said angrily.

"No, no, I didn't mean that, I just said, the past things, just forget the past, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, if you take care of everything, the road will be narrower and narrower. Dad Ji took a puff of cigarette and said.

"Okay, don't smoke it, how choking is it at home?" Ji Ran snatched half of his father's cigarette and snuffed it out in the ashtray.

"Ran, Dad wants to ask what you mean, are you willing to let the relatives in your hometown come? If you want, let them come, if you don't want to, Dad will listen to you, however, there is a saying that Dad said in the head, multiple relatives and many roads, in the future, Dad will still be buried in his hometown after a hundred years, if the relatives in his hometown are offended, Dad is afraid that you will be embarrassed by then, feelings are usually accumulated, if you usually do not accumulate feelings, it will be too late to accumulate when you employ people. Father Ji took Ji Ran's hand and said.

Where does Ji Ran not understand these truths, she also understands Ji's father's thoughts, although she doesn't have much affection for her relatives in her hometown, but Baishan filial piety comes first, for the sake of her father's century-old plan, Ji Ran had to agree.

"Dad, it's up to you, let the relatives in my hometown come, and I'll persuade my mother. Ji Ran said to Ji's father.

"Hey, okay, yes, it's right to do this, be a man. Dad Ji said happily.

"Well, Dad, don't be angry, I'll persuade my mom to watch TV first. Ji Ran stuffed the remote control into his father's hand and said.

"Okay, go ahead, tell your mom well, don't rush too much. Father Ji nodded and said.

"Got it. Ji Ran nodded and went to Ji's mother's room.

Ji Ran stood outside the door and knocked on the door, at first, Ji's mother thought it was Ji's father, and she didn't open the door in anger.

Ji Ran saw that there was no movement inside, and was a little worried, "Mom, Mom, open the door, it's me!"

Mother Ji heard Ji Ran's voice, so she got up and opened the door.

Ji Ran walked into the room with Ji's mother, and Ji's mother closed the door again.

"Mom, how old are you, why are you still the same as when you were young? You get angry at every turn? Are you not afraid of getting angry?" Ji Ran moved a small Maza, sat on the edge of Ji's mother's bed, rubbed Ji's legs and said.

"Your dad can't wait for me to die early, saving me from annoying him all day long. Ji's mother said angrily.

"Mom, don't say unlucky things during the New Year, when did my dad curse you? Ji Ran said to Ji's mother.

"Okay, don't pinch it, your father asked you to be a lobbyist, right?" Ji's mother pulled back her legs, looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"Of course not, in my heart you are as close as my father, I won't favor anyone. Ji Ran said with a smile.

"It's pretty much the same, you said that the snobbery in my hometown, when did you help our family? They bullied us so much in the early years, and now that they see that we are doing well, they all start to lick their faces and ask for things, they are not ashamed, I am ashamed of them."

I heard that you are going to get engaged, and those guys in my hometown are still licking their faces and are coming, I really don't know how they can be so thick-skinned?

No matter what your dad thinks, I don't agree with it anyway, if they come, I'll blast them away. Mother Ji said angrily, showing her attitude.

"Mom, I understand your feelings, but, relatives in my hometown, after all, are also relatives? When you are engaged, it is better to have more relatives, otherwise people will laugh at our family. Ji Ran discussed with Ji's mother.

"Why is there no one? Your grandmother and your uncle and your cousins and cousins will all come when the time comes, plus your brother-in-law and sister-in-law, there are almost dozens of people, and my father and those colleagues, there are almost dozens of people, and it is really not possible to call your classmates at that time, more than 100 people, more than a dozen tables, isn't it enough to be a scene?" Ji's mother said with her fingers crossed.

"Mom, I haven't graduated yet, why am I embarrassed to call my classmates here? The point is, if none of my relatives in my hometown come, people will laugh at you. Ji Ran looked at Ji's mother and said.

When Ji's mother heard this, she was not happy at that time, "Why don't people come to my hometown and laugh at me? I didn't owe anything to them." ”

"Mom, I know you didn't owe anything to them, but outsiders don't know, if you are engaged, only people from your grandmother's family come, and there are no relatives in your hometown, others will only say that you are not popular in your mother-in-law's family, so you don't look good on your face, right?

Besides, my dad is also the head of the family on the surface, and when the time comes, there will be no relatives in his hometown, where will he put his face?

You just need to be the master of the house on weekdays, and on this occasion, don't you have to save some face for my father?

If you don't save face for your father, won't others look down on him?

Then you won't have a light on your face, right?" Ji Ran took Ji's mother's hand and persuaded him reasonably.

Ji's mother listened to Ji Ran's persuasion, although she was very angry, but after thinking about it carefully, it also made some sense, but the contradiction between her and her relatives in her hometown was too deep, and it would be really difficult for her to change her mind so quickly.

"Ranran, don't forget how your grandmother treated you when you were a child, do you remember what your grandfather said? I would rather hurt my grandson than my granddaughter, I will remember this sentence for the rest of my life.

You always think that your mother is mean to your old family, but have you ever thought about how they bullied me in the first place?

Although what you said is reasonable, but to be a man, you also have to talk about principles, talk about right and wrong, if there is no distinction between grievances and grievances, and right and wrong are not clear, then how can you be a person?

Can't be, they bullied me, and they have to make me slap them with a shy smile, right?" Ji's mother said angrily, gasping for breath.

"Mom, don't be angry, I know you suffered a lot of grievances in your early years, but your grandparents have passed away a long time ago, and the dead are the greatest, even if they are sorry for you before they died, it should be cleared up now, right?

Besides, people should look forward.

What's the point of always turning over the unpleasant things of the past and adding to the troubles?

Now that our relatives in my hometown have come to us, don't they envy us? Do you want to rebuild the old with us?

If my mother can be generous and tolerant of them at this time, after they go back, they will definitely sing praises for my mother everywhere, and when the time comes, my mother can still have a good reputation, why not?

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai and his brother Gongzi fought for the throne, Gongzi Jiao's teacher Guan Zhong in order to get rid of Qi Huan Gong for Gongzi, led the army to intercept Qi Huangong's convoy, an arrow almost shot Qi Huan Gong to death, Qi Huan Gong bit off his tongue, fake death deceived Guan Zhong, and then Qi Huan Gong returned to Qi State first, inherited the throne, at this time, Guan Zhong became Qi Huangong's prisoner, it stands to reason that Guan Zhong has a murderous hatred against Qi Huangong, even if Qi Huan Gong slashed Guan Zhong with a thousand knives.

However, Duke Qi Huan was tolerant and generous, exempted Guan Zhong from the death penalty, and worshipped him as the prime minister, which achieved his hegemony and became the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

There is also the Great Shun King of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, he died of his mother at an early age, and lived with his father and stepmother, but his stepmother was very bad, embarrassed Shun everywhere, and tried to kill him again and again, but Shun used his ingenuity every time to save the day and avoid his stepmother's calculations.

It stands to reason that Shun's stepmother treated him so badly, he should leave home and stay away from this vicious stepmother, but King Shun didn't do that, he still lived with his stepmother in order to take care of his father, every time his stepmother wanted to harm him, he hid far away, every time his father and stepmother needed help, he immediately returned to his father and stepmother to do his filial piety, it was his kind of virtue to repay grievances, generosity and righteousness, to impress Emperor Yao, Emperor Yao thought that Shun was a filial and benevolent sage, so he married his two daughters to him, and later, Emperor Yao also passed his position to Shun, and achieved a brilliant career。

Therefore, the ancients often said that suffering losses is blessings, which is actually very reasonable.

At the beginning, our relatives in our hometown bullied us, and we suffered a loss, but now?

We are living a good life in the city, but our relatives in our hometown are still suffering in poverty in our hometown, do you say that we have suffered a loss, or have we been blessed?" Ji Ran patiently persuaded.

Mother Ji listened to Ji Ran's persuasion, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided, "I can't tell you to be reasonable, but I am panicked in my heart." ”

"Hehe, okay Mom, don't be angry, as long as you relax your heart, there will be no worries. Ji Ran smiled and said to Ji's mother on the back.

"You girl is clever and big-hearted, if I had you so good at things, I wouldn't have been so bullied at your grandmother's house in the first place. Mother Ji sighed and said meaningfully.
