Chapter 1: Quarrels
The winter in Liu Village is extremely cold, and there is a layer of hoarfrost on the ground. But the village was particularly noisy today, and the whole village gathered around the door of Liu Zhu's house to watch the excitement.
Liu Zhu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat son a few days ago, this is the son that Liu Zhu has been looking forward to for a long time, so she is extremely happy and laughs when she sees people.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhu's half-brother gave birth to a daughter, this Liu Zhu's younger brother called Liu Gen to see that the eldest brother was looking forward to a son, but his own family gave birth to a daughter, and he was angry. But it didn't matter much, no matter what, who is the man angry with about this?
But Liu Gen's mother didn't think so, and when she knew that her son had given birth to a daughter, she was so angry that she scolded her daughter-in-law for having no ability. Liu Gen's daughter-in-law is an honest woman, and she is often angry with her mother-in-law, but she doesn't take it too seriously, how can this woman not be angry with her mother-in-law after she gets married?
But after Liu Gen's mother scolded his daughter-in-law, he was still angry, and he didn't feel right no matter how he thought about it. Dafang's baby looks like a daughter, how can it give birth to a son? His daughter-in-law is like a son when she is pregnant, how can she give birth to a daughter? Could it be that his daughter-in-law's son was robbed by the big house, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case.
This Liu Gen's mother Chen remarried Liu Gen's father, Liu Zhu was only three years old when he got married, and later he had Liu Gen.
Since Liu Genniang gave birth to Liu Gen, she felt that she had gained a foothold in the Liu family, so she began to abuse her eldest son in a different way. But because of the opinions of the villagers, it's not too much. So Liu Zhu grew up under the white eyes of his stepmother.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, so Liu Zhu's father also knows the grievances suffered by his eldest son, but he is married for the second time and Chen gave birth to a second son for himself, and he never did too much, so he turned a blind eye. Later, Liu Zhu was very difficult as a child because his father didn't care about him, and sometimes he didn't even have a full meal. Fortunately, Liu Zhu was valued by a carpenter master and taught him carpentry work, which can be regarded as being able to support himself.
But when Chen saw that Liu Zhu was out of breath, he was not convinced, and felt that he had raised him, so he had to pay some money to his family. I was afraid that Liu Zhu would not be willing, so Chen grinded Liu Zhu and his father Liu Tou to say that Liu Zhu was originally a kind-hearted person, and when he saw his father pull down his face and tell himself, he should go.
But Liu Zhu is just a little apprentice and doesn't earn much, but Chen always says that his family is in difficulty, forcing Lao Liu to ask Liu Zhu for more. Liu Zhu didn't want his father to be embarrassed, and he also understood that his stepmother was not a troublemaker. There was really no way to hand over most of the money he earned to Chen, and Chen's face finally looked better.
After Chen's marriage, he was very good at giving birth, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter in a row. The second son is Liu Gen, the third son Liu Fa, and the fourth daughter Liu Zhen. Chen thinks that he is the hero of the Liu family, and he spreads branches for the Liu family, so he also likes to lose his temper with the old Liu. Lao Liu Tou cherishes his current life because he is married for the second time, and he is also obedient to Chen's words.
The Chen family can be described as having a smooth sail in the Liu family, but it is not pleasing to the eye when it looks at Liu Zhu. But Chen always likes to say in front of the people in the village how good he is to Liu Zhu, and the whole village has watched Liu Zhu grow up. It's not strange to Chen like this, there are more times, and everyone treats it as if they haven't heard it.
This time, the Chen family saw that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter, how could Liu Zhu be convinced when he gave birth to a son. So I went directly to Liu Zhu's door this morning to scold.
"You shameless one, the two daughters you gave birth to in a row couldn't give birth to a son at first glance, and now you have given birth to a son. It's not that I robbed my own grandson or anyone, it's really black-hearted. Return my own own grandson, shameless. After speaking, he sat directly on the ground and sought death and life. The whole village stood on the side and pointed and pointed, and no one stepped forward to persuade the Chen family, more to see if the two would fight, and if they did, it would be the best.
Liu Zhu's daughter-in-law is also a strong person, and she was willing to marry Liu Zhu because she wanted him to be a good person, but she also knew that this future mother-in-law was a powerful person. But if she is not her own mother-in-law, she can still be afraid that she will not succeed. How can I say that my own man also earns money to support his family, and he doesn't eat a single idle meal in this family.
But when she got married and gave birth to two daughters one after another, her waist was not hard in her mother-in-law's house. Now that the sky is good, I gave birth to a son, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to say that she robbed the son of her second brother and sister, isn't this bullying herself? This life is destined to give birth to a daughter, is it snatched? was busy getting dressed and getting up, but he didn't expect a small hand to suddenly hold down his clothes, and Zhang looked up and saw that it was his second daughter Yue'er.
"What are you doing, girl, busy letting your mother put on her clothes, you can't let your grandma make trouble here, my mother can't swallow this breath." Because the moon girl usually gets closer to the Chen family, the Zhang family thought that the moon girl would not let herself quarrel with the Chen family, and she was a little unhappy. How can the daughter who was raised with great difficulty be close to the Chen family?
Yue Yatou is only three years old, and she is already very good at talking: "Niang Yue'er wants to say that Dad will explain before going out, so that you can take good care of your body and don't get up to do things." Grandma wants to scold Yue'er, so she goes to find grandpa. ”
When Zhang heard it, he was also paying attention, it was best to find the old man, so that he would make noise at the door of his own house, and the old man would come to save face, and he would take Chen away. I went out to blow the wind for this matter, but I didn't sit well in confinement, but let this old woman Chen get well. Liu Yue saw that her mother was not there and was about to get up, so she leaned back on the bed to rest. "Niang Yue'er is going to find grandpa, don't get up, my brother is still waiting for you to take it?"
Zhang's heart became happy again when he heard his son, he finally gave birth to a son, and he no longer had to be afraid of this old woman. A few years ago, the Zhang family gave birth to two daughters one after another, which made her mother-in-law laugh and despise her for a long time, and scolded herself at every turn for wanting Liu Zhu to be the last. At this time, I don't dare to say a word, because I really didn't give birth to a son, what to say to the Chen family?
Every time he was sad, he hugged his two daughters and cried, fortunately, Liu Zhu didn't blame himself, but he often sighed. It's great to have a son now! Thinking of Liu Zhu's happy appearance holding his son, he looked proud. My heart softened a little, and I didn't feel angry with Chen.
Presumably the Chen family is as uncomfortable as he was now, he thought he was a son, but he was born a daughter. It is estimated that Huang's life is not easy, her mother-in-law is so powerful and a mother-in-law, unlike herself, she can still be noisy. Liu Zhu won't say anything, but Liu Gen listens to his mother the most, how could he let the Huang family quarrel with his mother?
is also a poor person, but daughters have to pass this hurdle, which woman can give birth to a son as soon as she gets married? It's not like that.
It didn't take long to hear the voice of Daddy Liu outside, and then the crying of the mother-in-law, and the crying sound went away after a while. It's finally quiet, but fortunately, Yue'er didn't let herself out. This saves a lot of trouble, and he goes to quarrel with Chen's family more than his father-in-law about Chen's, which makes Chen's face feel even more shameless. Thinking of this, Zhang's heart was much more comfortable, and he couldn't help but kiss his son who was sleeping soundly.
Yue'er came in with a bowl of noodles and handed it to her mother: "Mother, let's eat some noodles first, this is what I asked my neighbor Aunt Li for, my father didn't come back, my sister went to the mountains to collect firewood." ”
Zhang's heart was even more moved with the steaming noodles, and his daughters were all angry, one took care of the house, and the other would find food for themselves. Are you still worried about not eating?
But what does this bowl of noodles eat for yourself? Zhang pulled Yue'er and asked gently: "This bowl is for my mother, what are you eating?" It will take a while for your sister to go to collect firewood and come back, so you and your mother will share it! ”
Yue'er remembered that in her previous life, when her mother gave birth to a younger brother, she had a quarrel with her grandmother, so she fell into a headache later. Later, because he was too sick to do some farm work, the family could only rely on his father to feed the whole family.
There was also a quarrel with her grandmother, so her grandmother didn't care about her mother's confinement, and she didn't give her a bite of food. I and my sister were young at the time, and I didn't expect my mother to eat because I didn't expect my mother to eat it. So my mother is often hungry, so there is little milk. The younger brother didn't have much milk to eat, and he was always hungry and crying.
The little brother was always sick and his health was not good, so he spent a lot of money to take medicine, but it didn't improve much. Dad is also weak because of the family's old and small illnesses, and no one has a hand at all, so his body is overworked and his body is not good day by day. I and my sister often tear cloth because of the lack of money, and wear clothes that have been mended and mended, and they want to live a good life more and more.
So when my sister grew up, she didn't hesitate to make a concubine, and was later tortured to death by her wife. I just wanted to solve the problem of food and clothing, so I took the risk of becoming pregnant with Lin Sheng's child in the same village, and forced the Lin family to marry me. After marrying in the past, she gave birth to a son, but she was tortured by her mother-in-law and Lin Sheng, and finally couldn't bear it, and lost her son to commit suicide.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue felt that she was too stupid in her previous life, she didn't do anything for this family, and she didn't think about letting her hands change her fate.
only thought about relying on men to work hard and indulge, and finally committed suicide because Lin Sheng was angry with himself at every turn, and his mother-in-law let herself do hard work every day. In the end, he couldn't bear it and committed suicide, but thinking about it, he was too irresponsible at that time and left his three-year-old son. In my previous life, I was so stupid and lazy, I always wanted to live a good life but I didn't think about my family, I didn't think about my parents' feelings. What a blow I and my sister did to my mother and father. made my grandmother often ridicule my mother later, and the whole village looked down on her family.
Later, my mother and father couldn't stand the ridicule of the villagers, and took my younger brother to a distant place, and in the end I didn't know whether to die or live, but at that time, my mother was very sick, but she had to drag her sick body to distant relatives, and she also took a weak son, who would take it in?
Yue'er put away her sadness, looked up and said with a smile: "Mother, you eat, I'll go to my grandfather's house to ask for some food, no matter what, can my grandfather not give me food?" Mother, if you don't eat enough, wait a minute, my brother won't have milk to eat. ”
Zhang looked at his lovely and considerate daughter, thinking that he still had a son to feed, but he really couldn't go hungry. Finally, I picked up the bowl and ate it, but I felt that this noodle was really fragrant. After eating a bowl of Cheng Zhang's body, he felt much better, and after looking at his second daughter and thinking about it, he said worriedly: "Yue'er, don't go to your grandfather's house, and your father won't give you anything decent to eat." Wait a minute, go to Aunt Li's house and ask for another bowl! ”
Liu Yue smiled slightly: "Mother, don't worry, no matter what the master gives, you can always eat!" Aunt Li gave a bowl of noodles, and it would be good to go to Yue'er again for fear that Aunt Li would be unhappy. I just went to say that Yue'er said that her mother had no milk, so Aunt Li was busy going to the next noodles? ”
Zhang thought about it, and it was true, but he was very distressed when he saw his sensible daughter. Liu Yue took the bowl in her mother's hand, helped her mother lie down and covered the quilt, turned around and went out. Zhang wanted to sleep when he was full, and fell asleep with a squint of his eyes.
Yue'er didn't go to her grandfather's house to ask for food, but went to the kitchen by herself, and her sister was about to come back from collecting firewood, so why should she get some food for her sister to eat! My sister is usually angry with her grandmother, and she knows that her grandmother is quarreling again. I will definitely not go to the master to ask for food, I will definitely be hungry after picking up firewood for a day, and my sister who doesn't make some food will be hungry again, and my sister will definitely feel uncomfortable at that time. In the future, as long as you let your sister go hungry less, let your father and mother feel better, and let your younger brother have milk to eat, you won't spend money on medicine when you are less sick, so that the family will not get poorer and poorer.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue said that she would do it, and hurriedly went to find rice to prepare for cooking.
