Chapter 10: The Unavoidable Conflict 1
In the past few days, Cheng Qing has really gone home after work, and it will be the weekend in a blink of an eye. Liu Hong calculated that her mother should come. Fifty years ago, she was confined to her mother-in-law's house, and Liu's mother was very reluctant to come to her mother-in-law's house to give her milk. But in order not to lose face to Liu Hong, he still came, and he had a conflict with Liu Hong's mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law and Liu Hong's maiden family originally did not intersect, but because Liu's father and Cheng Qing's father were from the same unit, they understood each other. Mother Liu dislikes her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law doesn't look down on Mother Liu. Liu's father was already the section leader at that time, and later became the deputy factory director, and it was Liu Hong's father-in-law who was in charge of it, and his father-in-law, who was originally an ordinary worker, was even more inferior, and he had no good impression of Liu Hong's mother's family. Of course, that's an afterthought.
Early on Sunday morning, Liu Hong called Cheng Qing up early to clean up the room.
"Daughter-in-law, I got up several times this night to serve my lover in my previous life, can't I sleep lazily this Sunday?"
"No, your grandmother from your previous life will come today, are you going to let my mother see the messy house and diapers all over the floor. ”
"Ah, daughter-in-law, you'll do the math. Will your mom come today? ”
"Stupid, my mom happens to be off duty today, and it's Sunday, do you think she will come?"
"Oops, my stinky memory, your dad reminded me yesterday. It's all about making the child forget about it. Cheng Qing said and quickly got up and cleaned up the bed, leaving a small quilt for Liu Hong, and hurriedly went down to the ground to clean up the diapers all over the ground. Then wipe the floor and tidy up the room.
Immediately afterwards, he went to wash diapers again, and boiled millet porridge for Liu Hong, and boiled five eggs in the porridge by the way. Mother Liu and Yanzi also arrived at this time. Seeing Cheng Qing who was busy outside, Liu's mother praised for the first time.
"It's not bad, I didn't fall asleep in the bed. ”
"Mom, I'm going to pay for my crimes, I was guilty of not going the night Hong gave birth, Liu Hong settles accounts with me every day. Cheng Qing didn't know what Liu Hong thought in his heart, he was very afraid of Liu's mother, Liu's mother was a master who never showed mercy to anyone who scolded whenever she wanted regardless of the occasion.
"Nonsense, my old lady, how can Liu Hong have that ability, if she is not bullied by you, she will burn high incense. ”
"Mom, how can I be bullied. Didn't you see it all, Cheng Qing got up early to cook for me, wash diapers and clean up the house. Liu Hong took it and said that she still had to maintain her husband's image in terms of face.
"I saw it, there are still eggs boiled in the porridge, Cheng Qing, have you washed the eggs, and sometimes there are chicken poop on the egg skin. ”
"Mom, why are you so disgusting, that's my breakfast for a while. ”
"Hypocrisy. Oh, my little granddaughter, come and ask grandma to hug her. When it was born, it would be crumpled and not much to look at, but it has grown in the past half a month, like your mother, beautiful. Mother Liu hugged Yuanyuan and smiled.
"Mom, she's like me, too, handsome. Cheng Qing finished peeling the eggs, put them in the rice porridge, and brought them to Liu Hong, and said.
"Don't be stinky and beautiful, just you, triangular eyes, my grandchildren have grown up, and they are not called vixens. ”
"Auntie, you shouldn't be happy to say that, Yuanyuan. My brother-in-law is a very handsome person. Swallow hurriedly said to the side.
"Well, otherwise my daughter would have been chasing him. ”
"Mom, you can't help but talk about it. "There's really no way to put such a strange mother on the stall.
"Mom, where is Liu Hong chasing me, it's me chasing Liu Hong, Liu Hong is afraid that you will not be satisfied. Cheng Qing said to Liu's mother with a smile.
"You stupid girl with her elbow turned out, and you still play tricks with your mother. You kid should be satisfied, my daughter is such a good girl, she has been the best learner since she was a child, and she is also good-looking. ”
"Mom, stop, what age is this, don't show off my bit of history. Whether learning is good or not, it's not all the same, I went to the countryside and planted the land for a few years, and that bit of knowledge was all eaten. ”
"Then you don't have any chance, resume the college entrance examination, but several of your classmates are going to college, don't you know. Which one you studied well at the beginning. ”
"Mom, why are you talking about this again, after the full moon, I will go to night school, is it good to be admitted to adult college. ”
"Okay, I'm afraid you'll forget about it long ago when you're full moon. ”
While Liu Hong and the two were talking, her mother-in-law came.
"Red, open the door for Mom, I just unloaded a cart of ice fruits, and I have some time to take a bath for my granddaughter. The mother-in-law knocked on the door outside.
"What are you putting on a poor show, why don't you give the child a bath, for fear that others don't know, and the whole building will hear it. As soon as the mother-in-law entered the door, Liu's mother said that it was open.
"Hey, my mother-in-law is here, Cheng Qing, you don't go to the front building to say something. Tell your sister not to fall asleep Zhang Luo cooks a few dishes, this milk has no empty mouth to go back, and I will go back to the front building to eat later. The mother-in-law didn't answer Liu's mother's words and said.
"What, my daughter can't afford my meal, and she still needs to eat at your house. Mother Liu said very unhappily.
"Mother-in-law, you misunderstood, aren't they all my house here and there, I'm afraid that the child won't sleep well, and everything in the front building is ready-made. Her eldest sister happened to be at home after the night shift, and you know that my wholesale store can't do without people. ”
"How could I not know, making money is the most important thing, so when my daughter gave birth in the hospital, no one in your family arrived, but my mother-in-law and sister-in-law who are not married all night. It is as if you should repay the merit for bathing your child, which is what you should do as a grandmother. ”
"Mother-in-law, I didn't go the night Liu Hong gave birth, and during the day, her eldest sister asked the doctor when she delivered the meal, and the doctor said that she could give birth in a day or two, and we didn't go to be accompanied. Liu Hong didn't go to the hospital when she was strangled, but she was also worried that there would be no one at home, so she was admitted to the hospital in advance. The hospitalization fee is more than we take, and this road is not close, her eldest sister didn't get off the night shift one day and squinted for a while and ran to the hospital twice to deliver food. ”
"Hey, you're still full of grievances, the child is your family's seed, you should do that. ”
"This is true, but doesn't my granddaughter still call you grandma, and you should do something as grandma. ”
"That's different, her surname is your family's surname, call you grandma. ”
"Mother-in-law, can you be reasonable? ”
"Who do you say is unreasonable, your family is the worst family of human nature. ”
The two old ladies quarreled as soon as they spoke, and the child cried in fright in Liu's mother's arms, and Cheng Qing hurriedly hugged him and coaxed him. Liu Hong also hurriedly got down to the ground and stood between the two mothers, not knowing who to persuade to go, she didn't have time to think about it, so she had to say to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, you go back first, you can't stay away from people for too long. ”
"Hong, your mother is too unforgiving, I'm really angry. The mother-in-law said helplessly and prepared to leave. Mother Liu's side is inconsiderate of anyone.
"Let's go, let's go, it's important to make money. ”
"Old Mrs. Liu, you are also squeezed into people, I am rich, my two daughters-in-law have a big gift, the eldest is 400, and Liu Hong is 500, and there are a lot of cloth stamps and food stamps. With a house, I am also a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, things are things, money is money. ”
"It's like who's family can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, a few hundred yuan is worth taking, and now it's all thousands. ”
"That's also going with the market, and I'm not sure if it's ten thousand in the future, so I'll take it out. ”
"What's so great about having money, it's because you don't have the ability to go to work. ”
"As long as I have money, I earn more than you go to work, and you are angry. ”
"Mom, you are all my mother, you all don't say a word, the more you talk, the more hurtful it is, what should you do if you call me and Liu Hong, and what about your granddaughters and granddaughters. Cheng Qing hugged Yuanyuan, who was crying, and also stood between the two old ladies and said, Liu Hong was already in tears and at a loss. It's not appropriate to say that no one is right, no matter how you say it, it's wrong.
"Okay, for the sake of my son and Liu Hong, if you don't know like a bastard, I'll leave and come back to bathe my granddaughter at night. The mother-in-law separated and gathered around the door to watch the lively neighbors left. Unfortunately, I happened to be at home on Sunday today, which is enough for these people to pay attention to for a while.
"Liu Hong, are you still my daughter, she said that I am a bastard, and you will not take it back. It's really a white-eyed wolf, swallow, let's go back too. Mother Liu angrily kicked the basket of eggs, pulled the swallow and walked out.
"Liu Hong, my aunt is angry, don't be in a hurry, we'll go back first, and come to see you another day." Swallow said apologetically.
"Sister-in-law-to-be, one day you and my brother will come here, I will ask my brother for help. ”
"Well, I've been with your brother and I've been off duty for the past few days, so I'll come over to see you. ”
"Yanzi, if you can't go, it's all annoying to me, you don't have anything to say to me, and you're muttering things behind your back. Mother Liu walked out of the gate with the swallow in a huff, and staggered down the stairs.
"Okay, don't cry, it's all gone. Cheng Qing persuaded Liu Hong to cry even more fiercely.
"Don't cry, okay, your mother is really, when you come to breastfeed your daughter, you can't say a few words, don't feel sorry for others or your own daughter. Cheng Qing said with a little anger.
"What's wrong with my mother, it's not your family's fault first, can my mother say. ”
"Our family is doing it by your mother caught the shortcomings, if you want to say it, look at the time, it doesn't matter if my mother is angry for a while, should I make money or continue to make money, it doesn't matter if I'm angry for a while, at most vent my anger with you, why doesn't your mother want to think about how you will have no milk if you are angry, her granddaughter will starve if you don't have milk, and you will be sick when you are angry, she is still not your own mother." ”
"She has a bad temper, you only know, your mother knows. A unit doesn't understand. Persuaded to leave and didn't leave, quarrel with my mother, didn't you think of me? ”
"Liu Hong, you don't talk about it anymore, my mother does business, what kind of person hasn't been met, is she the one who suffers. It's not that your mom is too aggressive, my mom can't control it. ”
"Can it be the same as the people you meet in business, my mother will buy your ice fruit or beer for less money. Liu Hong simply didn't be reasonable, and said nonsense, the heart that was already aggrieved enough was even more aggrieved, and the heart said, sister, is it easy for me. The damned immortal soul has gone back fifty years, and he has to turn the tide and start all over again, which is really in response to the words of the next few decades, one step back to the past, not starving and cold, is strategizing.
"Liu Hong, you have changed since you gave birth, you were not like this before. Now I have learned to fight for interests, I have learned to instruct me, and I know how to insinuate me. You don't know what kind of temperament your mother has, you apologized first when you encountered such a thing before. ”
"I used to be stupid, it was my mother's fault and she was right, I didn't defend my mother, who else would defend her. What I fight for is what I deserve, you should work, whoever stipulates that housework must be done by a woman, I insinuate something about you, don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door. Liu Hong also said openly. After all the calculations, what should have come is still coming, what she has changed is just trivial things, and the major events that affect the history of the two of them still can't be avoided. There is no need for her to cover it for fear of fighting, for fear of affecting the relationship between husband and wife.
