Chapter 163: An Unexpected Quarrel
The visit of Wuda and Bai Yuzhu caused deep harm to Wang's mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She kept nagging people every day, and kept asking the same question to others: "You say, how can a scumbag still live well and live well?" ā
Naturally, apart from a few words of comfort from others to express their hearts, there is nothing to be gained at all. Although the third aunt is a long-tongued woman, since the third aunt is gone, it is difficult for Wang's mother to find someone who can really talk to. The third aunt can not only blow, but also chat, and listen. I used to chat with the third aunt, and that was a great comfort.
But now, the rest of the village, the old and the young, who are about the same age as her, either went to the city with this son and daughter to take care of the children, or went to work in the town. She was the only one who said that she was here to take care of the children for Mrs. Wu, but in fact, most of the time Mrs. Wu took care of the children by herself. I also cleaned up the housework, and even the housework was only when Mrs. Wu was not available when the child was really naughty.
Throughout the day, Wang's mother has the most time to do nothing. Originally, during the time in the town, there was still Mrs. Wu's shop that needed to be handled by herself. In his spare time, he can also twist a Yangge with the seven women to pass the time and chat about family life, and now, the only one who can say a few words is Wuduo's mother.
But Wang's mother doesn't like to chat with Wuduo's mother very much, she always thinks that Wuduo's mother is too pretending. Talking and doing things is always straightforward, not so transparent, and it is very difficult to talk to her about something. Maybe it's because people have been living in the city for a long time. I always felt that Budo's mother was out of place in this village.
Seeing that the silence in the village had returned to after the New Year, Wang's mother felt more and more lonely. In addition to nagging, what else can she express her emotions and pass the rest of her life?
"Madam, have you ever thought about finding another wife for our mother?" At night, Xu Ming hugged Mrs. Wu, who was holding the baby, and said.
Mrs. Wu looked at Xu Ming with a serious expression for a long time: "You, dislike my mother?" Think she's nagging? Think she can't sleep every night and gets up to watch TV and disturbs your rest? Or do you think she always puts salt in her cooking? ā
"You misunderstood me!" Xu Mingyi said righteously: "Can't you see how lonely Mother Wang is alone? I'm thinking about her old age! If, like Grandma Xu, she has her own goals to pursue in life, can she have nothing to nag about? The nagging itself has very little effect on us, but have you ever thought about the problem of mom that nagging manifests! I put myself in the shoes of an elderly person and seriously considered for her. ā
"Have you ever wondered how much a person's mental health affects her life? Mother Wang is still young, and she is not as good at designing her own life as Grandma Xu. The loneliness of her old age is not something you and I can solve, she needs an elderly companion who understands her and has a common language with her. Come and talk about your depression, relieve your depression, and live life together. ā
Xu Ming looked at Mrs. Wu's questioning gaze at herself, a little anxious and a little angry, the two of them have lived for so many years, doesn't she still know who she is, doesn't she know that she has always regarded Mother Wang as her mother?!
"What you say, maybe it makes sense. However, you don't understand what the status of women is like in our village. When my mother marries someone else, she goes to someone's house to cook and clean up the housework. It's hard to get the respect of the man's family. Moreover, the remarriage of a rural woman now requires a bride price, and if it is not good, it will make people say that I sold my mother! I'm not going to do it! Mrs. Wu realized that the distrust she expressed to Xu Ming made her a little angry, but she resolutely refused to agree to Xu Ming's proposal this time. Can't even give him a chance to take the lead! If he said such a thing to Wang's mother or Brother Defu, it would have to arouse the public anger of the family.
"No, we can find a good family for Mother Wang, so that they can be together again on the basis of mutual understanding. It's just a channel for Wang's mother to relieve her emotions in her later life, and she doesn't necessarily have to marry that person! Xu Ming knows that the situation in the countryside is different from the situation in the city, but everyone needs a companion and needs emotional care.
"Oh, my ancestor, don't say any more. The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes! Mrs. Wu put down the baby, quickly covered Xu Ming's mouth and said, "You can be quiet, what do you say, this is!" Don't you know? In the eyes of Wang's mother's generation, all falling in love without the purpose of marriage is a hooligan! Don't talk about Wang's mother's generation, let's talk about our generation of children who grew up in the countryside. Even if you are in free love, you have to go through various rules and etiquette of both parents before you can fall in love openly. To invite a matchmaker, to meet small, to meet, but also to get engaged and married, and so on. can be justifiably together. ā
If it weren't for the fact that he and Wuda couldn't wait to make the relationship between the two public, they couldn't have held the wedding in such a hurry. At that time, she didn't even reach the legal age for marriage in the country, and she couldn't get a marriage certificate. However, it is the norm for the village to get married early, and most of them do not get a marriage certificate.
"Not to mention people of my mother's age, on our side, only widowed women who have no children and no daughters will remarry others. When you go to someone's house, you have the right to eat as a nanny! Don't mention this to my mom or my brother, they're going to be angry, they're going to be angry. Although you have a good heart, they will not appreciate it! Mrs. Wu warned Xu Ming very seriously.
"Why? I don't understand. Are you afraid of what others will say? Is it important to be criticized by others, or is it important for your mother's happiness in her old age? Look at it, look at Wang's mother's current state, she is nagging and in a daze every day, she is unhappy, unhappy, can you bear to watch him like this for the rest of his life? She's only sixty years old! It is the time to enter the elderly group, and at this time, whether it is a physical change or a psychological change, someone needs to share it with her. Isn't it? Xu Ming was a little excited, he didn't think that Mrs. Wu's scruples about her face were right. He even felt that Mrs. Wu was a little irresponsible to Mother Wang.
"Okay, okay, you be quiet, I understand your kindness, I know your hard work, but this matter, there is no need to discuss, no! Unless one day my mother personally proposed that she wanted to find a wife and live with someone else in the future. Don't talk about this topic anymore, there's no need to talk about it! Mrs. Wu said comforting Xu Ming.
"I don't understand! I have always felt that the two of us have always had the same values, and we have similar views on the issue of treating the elderly. I don't like the elderly to interfere too much in our lives, and I don't like the elderly not having their own living space. Actually, I think we should find a nanny to help, instead of trapping Wang's mother around and leaving her without her own living space. ā
"Didn't I discuss the issue of finding a babysitter with you? I don't like having outsiders in the house, and my mom would never allow us to find a babysitter. If you don't let her come here to help, she'll think you're disgusted with her! The old man and the old man are different, you don't bring the mode of getting along with Grandma Xu to the mode of getting along with Mother Wang. ā
Mrs. Wu doesn't understand, is there anyone in this world who understands her mother's wants better than her daughter? Why does Xu Ming have to compete with himself here!
"I don't understand, I have an opinion, I hope we can come up with this issue and talk to Mother Wang and Brother Defu. Instead of covering up the problem, I don't like to cover it up, I'm going to fix it right away. Xu Ming continued to insist on his point of view.
"You don't understand, yes, you don't understand, you don't understand, it's okay, but please keep your incomprehension. Now there is no problem at all! We are now living in our favorite mode, as I said, Mother Wang will not agree to this proposal, even if she is lonely, she does not need to solve it in a romantic way. She won't accept it, her brother won't accept it, her sister-in-law won't accept it, and I won't accept this offer! Mrs. Wu was so emotional.
Mrs. Wu always knew that her union with Xu Ming would have all kinds of life frictions and mental collisions, and she was fully prepared before getting married. But in the past few days, she has not found any big difference between the two people. Although the living and growing environments are very different, the two have always been very compatible in terms of living habits and aspirations. What she didn't expect was that the two of them had such a big difference in their mother's old age living arrangements. She didn't understand Xu Ming's insistence on the point.
"Yes, there are elderly people who need a partner. But some don't need to, you see, like Grandma Xu, hasn't she been married since her grandfather died? So, my mom, don't need it either. Mrs. Wu said.
"No, I don't know, grandma has never been married because of all aspects of the company's interests and her own property. But she has always had her own love life, and she and Uncle Zhang have always maintained a stable and sympathetic relationship. Of course, this matter, for various reasons, they have not been made public. The only people who know are me and Xu Lie. ā
"That, that, Grandma Xu is different from Mother Wang. Wang's mother has not received much education, and her thinking is traditional and conservative, if you mention this to her, she will not be able to stand it! Madame Wu was both surprised and incredible. No wonder Uncle Zhang has always been by Grandma Xu's side, in addition to being a driver, he also works as a housekeeper. Every time I see Grandma Xu, I can almost see Uncle Zhang with me. No wonder, the other nannies and cooks at the funeral did not attend the funeral, but Uncle Zhang went.
"We don't talk to Mother Wang, how do you know she doesn't have this idea? Have you talked to your mom about this? Do you know what's really going on in her heart? Can you represent her? Xu Ming's insistence naturally has his own insistence, after Grandma Xu's death, the person he regarded as the closest elder was Mother Wang. Because he has not received his mother's love since he was a child, he cherishes Wang's mother's love and care for him very much. feels that Wang's mother is now his biological mother. He must find a way to ensure the quality of life of his biological mother in old age. Whether she is happy or unhappy, he cares very much and cares very much.
"I, of course I can!" Mrs. Wu was a little unconfident when she said this. To be honest, she rarely talks about Wang's mother with Wang's mother, and when the two of them are together, they either talk about their own affairs or their brother and sister-in-law and children. There are some things, what Wang's mother thinks, and I'm really not sure. However, she felt that even if Wang's mother was really willing, she would resolutely refuse this, because the general environment of life was here. Mother Wang's mother loves face so much.
"What you say is a bit against your will! Although Mother Wang is not my biological mother, she is now the only old person I respect and love, and I must make her happy life in her old age. I'll talk to her and her brother about this! Xu Ming said seriously.
"Oh, okay, okay, I'm scared of you, I'm convinced, I consider your opinion, but, please stay calm. I, by me, will come forward to discuss this issue with Wang's mother, okay? If you come forward, even if you are well-intentioned, you can only do bad things! Your identity is not suitable for this matter! Mrs. Wu compromised.
"Why? What happened to my identity? Am I not part of this family? Am I not the one you love? Is there a big difference between what I said and what you said? We're all mom's kids! Xu Ming was in a tense debate, and he hadn't come out yet.
"You don't want to argue with me about this again, Boss Xu!" Mrs. Wu was a little devastated. "Are you deliberately going to quarrel with me tonight or something? Didn't I already consider your proposal? Didn't I go talk to my mom? Do you think that as a son-in-law, it is appropriate for you to talk about sending her to someone else's house? Wouldn't she be mistaken? ā
"I'm very tired, I have a bunch of things to deal with all day long, and I have to take care of the baby and do housework, I'm really tired, why do you have to argue with me on this issue? Am I doing something wrong? My mom, don't I know more than you as an outsider! ā
Mrs. Wu was a little annoyed, she really didn't understand why Xu Ming had to argue with her about this issue at this time and place. I have made it clear that I understand his kindness, and I have clearly agreed to consider his proposal. Why did he have to go around other issues and struggle with himself?
Xu Ming was deeply hurt by Mrs. Wu's words and the word outsider. In his heart, since he came to this family, he has always regarded his brother and sister-in-law and mother as his own family, and in his heart, his son-in-law is the younger brother of his brother and sister-in-law, and the son of Wang's mother. Why would Mrs. Wu say she was an outsider? Do you still have to care about your kindness to Wang's mother?
Xu Ming wanted to say a few words to defend himself, and he also wanted to question why Mrs. Wu said that she was an outsider. However, right now, looking at Mrs. Wu's angry appearance, looking at her sleeping daughter, and thinking about Mother Wang, who was probably asleep, she swallowed all her words.
"Okay, you're tired, let's rest!" Xu Ming said coldly.
Mrs. Wu watched Xu Ming lie down with his back to him, watching him extinguish the lamp at the head of his bed, and her heart was full of grievances and incomprehension. I've told him about the helplessness in the general environment, and I've compromised with him, why does he still care?
Mrs. Wu also stopped talking and lay down with her back to Xu Ming. For the first time, on the first night, two people fell asleep without hugging each other. Even the unquiet wind outside the window is blowing in a mess, sometimes to the east and the other to the west, which makes people sad.
