Chapter 33: Repentance
It is said that Zhao Yongzhong was pushing the car, and as soon as he walked outside the courtyard of Jiang's house, he heard a suppressed whimper from inside, thinking that something had happened at home, so he hurriedly threw the car aside and ran in quickly.
When I entered the courtyard, I found a young woman in a blue dress kneeling on the ground, covering her face with a handkerchief and weeping bitterly. Next to her stood an old couple in their fifties: the old father had a yellowish face, good facial features, a loyal face, and a white beard; The old mother had a gray complexion, slightly frosty temples, a green cloth wrapped around her head, and a homespun cloth dress. The old couple's eyes were red and they were described as haggard.
Sisters Jiang and Jiang Yue'e were squatting beside the woman, and persuaded hard: "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say!" It's cold on the ground, you get up first! ”
Only then did Zhao Yongzhong find out that the woman was Jiang Hua and his daughter-in-law Yao, and said in his heart: Didn't she leave the child and run back to her parents' house? Why are you back?
However, this is a family matter of the Jiang family, although Zhao Yongzhong is the son-in-law of the Jiang family, it is inconvenient for him to intervene, so he stands aside.
I saw Yao shaking his head and not wanting to get up, crying: "Mother, it's me who is wrong!" I shouldn't have gotten lost my mind and left my father and two children to go back to my parents' house. Mother, just forgive me this time! In the future, I will definitely serve your second elder well, serve the children and his father with my heart, and take good care of the two children! ”
Although Yao's mother, Zhu, knew that her daughter was doing something wrong this time, and the old man had repeatedly told her not to speak out before coming to Jiang's house, but when she saw her daughter kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, she was already begging so bitterly, but her mother-in-law Yang refused to even show her face, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Mother-in-law, it's my daughter's fool!" But my daughter has not been comfortable for the past three days, she is like tormenting in the fire every day, and she regrets it so much! This person is back, so don't embarrass her anymore......"
When the old Yao Tou beside Zhu heard this, he hurriedly stopped her: "You mother-in-law, don't intervene indiscriminately!" Today, Xiufen is here to ask for sin, and her in-laws are willing to forgive her, which is our in-laws' big belly; If her in-laws refuse to accept her, she is her own sin! ”
"Father-in-law, why did you come here in person after such a long journey?" Yang heard Lao Yao's voice and hurriedly greeted him.
This morning, Yang was sweeping the courtyard, and suddenly found that Yao had returned, and after a while, he hurriedly called Jiang and Jiang Yue'e out, and asked the sisters to stop Yao and not let her in, and he flashed into the house.
Although she heard Zhu's voice later, her mother-in-law was not a four-six. The reason why the Yao family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, leaving Xiaohu's father and son and running back to their parents' house, I am afraid that the Zhu family has the credit in this matter. Therefore, even if he knew that the Zhu family was coming, the Yang family only pretended not to know and continued to stay in the house and ignore them.
But the father-in-law Yao Tou is different from the Zhu family. Lao Yao Tou is loyal and righteous, and he has been close friends with Mr. Jiang for many years. For so many years, if the Jiang family had anything to do, he was busy helping Zhang Luo. He took a fancy to Jiang Hua's personality, and unlike others, he disliked the Jiang family's poverty, so he made the decision to marry his daughter to Jiang Hua. If it weren't for Zhu's insistence on letting the Jiang family build a new boat before they would be willing to marry their daughter, Lao Yao would have married his daughter earlier, and he would not have dragged Jiang Hua until he was twenty-five years old to get married. Therefore, the old man Jiang and the old couple are very much in his affection.
"How could I not come? It's because I didn't teach my daughter well, and I'm here to ask for sin! Old Yao said with a face full of shame.
A few days before marrying a girl from a neighboring village, Lao Yao ran to help her family, and he didn't return home until last night. When I got home, I saw my daughter and asked her why she came back, but she couldn't answer. Later, his daughter-in-law told him that his son-in-law had injured his leg, and the girl ran back to her parents' house for fear of being affected. When he heard this, his eyes turned black with anger, but fortunately his son reached out to help him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
His old Yao family has never had such unscrupulous descendants who hate the poor and love the rich! He never expected that the daughter he raised with his own hands would be this kind of person! If his wife hadn't stopped him desperately last night, he would have beaten this dead girl to death on the spot!
Lao Yaotou lay on the kang and tossed and turned, and he didn't close his eyes all night. Before dawn, he woke up his wife and daughter, and dragged them to Jiang's house to make amends.
"Father-in-law, don't say that! Everyone knows your sin, what is your sin? If you want to say that Xiufen is a child, I also watched her grow up, and I know very well in my heart that she is by no means a bad child! It's just that...... Our family is poor! This family business was originally climbed by our family, and the child has been married to our family for eight years, and he has suffered for eight years! It's our family who can't stand her and delay her! The old man and Xiaohu's father have already discussed, and in a few days, they will find someone to write a letter to Xiufen on their behalf, so that she can marry another match. Father-in-law, you, you are still ...... Take Xiufen back! Alas, it's better to find a good home for the child while she is still young! Yang persuaded.
On the night when Yao ran back to his parents' house, the old man Jiang sighed all night, thought about it, and ran to persuade Jiang Hua to reconcile with Yao before dawn the next day, Jiang Hua thought about it and agreed bitterly. It's just that I've been busy with the business in the shop these days, and I haven't had time to do this yet.
In fact, the Yang family was resolutely opposed to the separation of his son and daughter-in-law that day. Because the family is really poor, now the son has injured his leg again, and there are a pair of small children at home. If this is divorced, which good girl will be willing to marry in the future? I'm afraid it's hard to find a ** to marry!
But in the past two days, he has been doing business with his eldest daughter's family, and seeing that there is hope for the future, Yang's heart has gradually loosened. The little granddaughter is so capable, she worshipped a famous teacher and got so many recipes for cooking. Don't mention anything else, just say that this recipe for making tofu, with it, I dare not say that I am rich and expensive, as long as I am diligent in my hands and feet, the family can ensure that life is worry-free. The whole family is more frugal, saving money for two years, and it is not difficult to tell Jiang Hua a daughter-in-law.
What's more, this person's heart is biased, although the Yang family understands in his heart that he can't blame the Yao family for this matter, but just now he saw that she was still angry, so he also told the Jiang family about agreeing to leave and leaving.
As soon as Yang's words came out, Lao Yao was stunned, and he didn't know how to speak for a while. He knew that this incident had hurt the hearts of the Jiang family, but he and Mr. Jiang had been friends for many years, and he thought that he would bring the children over to sincerely admit his mistake, and this matter would be revealed, but he never thought that the Jiang family would let the two children reconcile.
The Zhu family's eyes beside Lao Yaotou rolled twice, his heart was lively, and he hurriedly said: "Since the in-laws are willing to let the two children reconcile, it is better to ......"
"Nope! I don't get along! I'm going to stay in the Jiang family! Yao interrupted Zhu's words in a loud voice.
Yao's mother, Zhu, always whispered in her ear: Since life is so hard, it's better to remarry earlier! The more she said it, the more she listened to it.
That day, when she saw that Xiaohu's father, the pillar of the family, was carried back, she felt that the sky had fallen, and her mind was in chaos, and she actually fled back to her parents' house in a daze. When she arrived at her parents' house, she felt a little clearer, and she planned to hurry back to Jiang's house, but Zhu insisted on persuading her to stay. She stayed at her parents' house these days, although her food and accommodation were better than in Jiang's house, but she just couldn't feel at ease.
It wasn't until her father scolded her last night that she completely sobered up, the Jiang family has her children and a husband who loves her, and she must go back! So this morning, she went back to Jiang's house with her father and mother with her face. When she saw the low earthen wall of the Jiang family, she felt a strong sense of belonging in her panicked heart: this is her home!
Yao guessed that the whole family would be angry with her and even hate him. She was willing to be punished, but she never expected that her family would let her and her husband reconcile!
"Mother, I was wrong! If you want to beat or scold, how to get rid of your hatred! I, Yao Xiufen, have no complaints! But don't drive me away! Seeing Yang's hesitation, Yao still didn't retract the words that made them reconcile and separate, so he kowtowed heavily to the ground. Although it was muddy, Yao's forehead was already a little blue.
The Yang family has a good nature, although he is a little annoyed with the Yao family, but seeing her begging like this, his heart can't help but soften. She let out a long sigh and persuaded, "Son, get up quickly! If you are like this, I can't bear it in my heart! ”
"child, listen to my mother, you get up quickly!" Jiang Hua's concerned voice came from the room.
In fact, Jiang Hua had already woken up when Yao came back, and the reason why he had not said anything was because he knew that his mother had grievances in her heart these days, and often took advantage of the time when there was no one at home, and sighed alone in the yard. Now that Yao came back and admitted his mistake, he simply took this opportunity to let his mother eliminate the resentment in her heart. Just now, others in the house could faintly hear Yao's kowtow, and they were very distressed. When his mother sent a message to let Yao get up, he knew that his mother's tone was half gone, so he couldn't wait to ask Yao to get up quickly.
Yao's heart warmed when she heard that her husband still cared about her, but she still didn't dare to get up, and looked at Yang cautiously.
As the saying goes: "Knowing the son is the mother". Yang knew that the reason why his son agreed to let his daughter-in-law go was because he was afraid that he would delay her, but in fact, he was reluctant to do so. Xindao: That's it, I can't care about it anymore for the sake of my son! She had no choice but to say: "If you are willing to stay in our Jiang family and live a poor life, I won't stop you!" ”
Only then did Yao's sisters, with the support of the Jiang sisters, slowly got up, and assured with a straight face: "Mother, from now on, I will live a down-to-earth life!" Never be confused again! Thinking about Jiang Hua in her heart, she begged in a low voice: "Mother, I want to go and see Xiaohu's father." ”
Yang nodded in response, then turned around and beckoned to his in-laws: "It's mine, it's not!" It's such a cold day, and you've been standing outside for so long! Hurry up and come in and sit down! ”
Zhu pursed his lips and said in his heart: I was shouting about breaking off my relationship just now! At this time, you are willing to recognize us as sons and daughters?
Lao Yao swept his wife's look, afraid that she would mess up a very good thing again, so he glared at her and pulled her into the hall with the Yang family.
