Chapter 317: Fighting Grievances
Liping is the kind of person who does what she says, "words must be done, deeds must be fruitful".
Since the day of the beating, her mother-in-law "advised" her not to use the washing machine for washing clothes in the future, Liping has never used the washing machine again.
Not only that, Liping is also more focused and hardworking than ever when doing housework!
Under the weight of complicated housework, Liping's hands began to roughen, and her originally snow-white and tender face was obviously thin and quickly haggard.
And the body that used to be particularly proud of is now noticeably rounder and thicker!
Seeing that Liping was busy with the work of the unit every day at work and busy with the affairs of the family after work, I didn't expect that a woman was moved by compassion!
Who is this woman?
What is really surprising is that this woman who has moved her heart of compassion is actually Mengdu and Liping's sister-in-law Yalan!
At noon that day, Yalan saw her brother and daughter-in-law sitting on the balcony on the second floor, scrubbing a large basin of clothes with her hands, so she walked up to the balcony, put her hand on Liping's shoulder, and said in an angry tone:
"Liping, you're too honest! If you listen to the old lady for everything, won't you have a fight with the old lady? ”
"With, old lady, fighting? What kind of fight are you doing with the old lady? ”
Liping looked up at her sister-in-law in surprise as she scrubbed her clothes in the plastic basin.
"Look at yourself, you have to go to work all day long, take care of the children, do laundry, and do hygiene! Moreover, when it comes to hygiene, it is a two-story building! At the same time, I have to water so many flowers and plants, and I don't even have a helper! I said Liping, you are so busy every day, your body must not be able to bear it! ”
Yalan said and removed her hand from Liping's shoulder, pointed to the clothes in the plastic basin and continued:
"No, the washing machine is right on the balcony, why don't you use it? Is it because your mother-in-law won't let you use it? That's ridiculous! In this world, no one owes anyone! Why are you so afraid of your mother-in-law? If it were according to my temper, I would have her! You said, Mengdu's father earns so much money every month, and his mother-in-law has at least five or six thousand yuan a month! Why can't his Wang family hire an extra nanny? Why should the nanny do the work, but now let his own daughter-in-law do it?
Liping, I'll tell you the truth, after so many days, I can't stand it!
Oh, by the way, and that unconscionable dream! You work so hard every day, why doesn't he feel distressed or care at all?
Didn't you chase this beauty of yours, play enough together every day, and sleep enough, it won't be worth anything in his eyes!? So, he let his mother-in-law bully you?
Hmph, it's really 'where there is a mother, there is a son'!
Liping, let me tell you, in their Wang family, we must not be too honest! If you feel too tired to take it anymore, don't be afraid to do it with your mother-in-law! Don't be afraid to be alone, I fully support you! ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and drew a circle in the air, widening her eyes.
It seems that she is not used to her mother-in-law's stomach, and she has not completely excreted with what she just said!
Yalan's current performance is not pretending to be hypocritical, but from her heart!
To be honest, since Liping gave birth to her daughter and gave birth to a "money-losing goods" in the eyes of her mother-in-law, although her mother-in-law has become more and more indifferent and ruthless to Liping; And this sister-in-law began to take the initiative to get close to Liping.
Although Liping doesn't know why her sister-in-law is close to herself, it's better for someone to care about herself and fight for herself than to have no one to care about and no one to answer, right?
It seems that there are still good people in the Wang family!
Liping's heart was touched.
She silently raised her head, quietly looked at her sister-in-law's eyes, and recalled the hardships and various grievances she suffered when she returned to her mother-in-law's house after confinement, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes!
She nodded excitedly at Arran, then shook her head.
Then, he continued to lower his head and continued to scrub his daughter's children's clothes and pants covered with feces and urine that his daughter had just changed out of.
Just now, Yalan encouraged Liping to fight with her mother-in-law, and Liping knew that this was Yalan caring about herself, encouraging herself to fight for her due status and rights in this family, and to restore her dignity.
However, Liping also knows very well in her heart that in this family, her status and rights cannot be compared with Yalan.
Not to mention fighting with her mother-in-law, now, even if she looks at her mother-in-law, Liping is also cowardly in her heart.
Recently, in Liping's mind, there has always been the advice of her parents again and again:
"Pingping, our Zhang family can have today's day, all thanks to the help of the Mengdu family! Now that you have arrived at the Wang family, you must take good care of Mengdu, serve your father-in-law and mother-in-law well, and you must strive to be a good wife and mother, and be a filial daughter-in-law. This is called 'drinking water and not forgetting to dig wells', also called 'the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates'! We are a family of rules, we can't forget our roots! ”
Especially after Liping gave birth to her daughter, when she was confined at home, Zhang Xueru also specially told Liping:
"Ping'er, in the future, when you live in Mengdu's house, you must be more careful, your heart and eyes must be flexible, your hands and feet must be diligent, and your mouth should be sweeter. As for the reason, you know very well. Because you gave birth to a girl this time, you are so disappointed by your mother-in-law! Let's see if we have a chance to have another boy in the future. I heard that the country is currently studying the two-child policy! ”
Also when I was confined, one day, my father came home from work at work and said to Liping excitedly:
"Ping, I have two good news for you! First, your dad was officially promoted to a unit-level cadre today! The salary has also increased by one level, an increase of more than a hundred yuan! Second, your brother-in-law has also been stained with your light, and now, like your sister, he has been officially transferred from the primary school in the township to the county middle school as a teacher. Look at it, since you fell in love with Mengdu until now, how much light has our Zhang family touched Mengdu's family? What a change my family has been! ”
Indeed, Liping knows that what her father said is all the truth:
If there is no Wang family, there is nothing about the Zhang family now!
Think about it, for her mother-in-law who is so kind to the Zhang family, does Liping dare to quarrel and fight with her mother-in-law?
Can Liping quarrel and fight with her mother-in-law?
'Don't forget to dig wells', we are people with a conscience!
Therefore, the current Liping can be said to be iron-hearted!
She didn't want to fight her mother-in-law, and she didn't dare to fight her mother-in-law!
Now in the Wang family, Liping just wants to do her best to do every housework assigned by her mother-in-law;
As long as the mother-in-law is not dissatisfied with what she has done, she will be satisfied!
Alas-
What a brother and daughter-in-law who has no quarrel with the world!
Yalan didn't know what Liping was thinking.
She saw tears in Libo's eyes, but her hands were constantly washing her clothes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart for this obedient brother and daughter-in-law, quite a bit of "hate it for not being strong, angry about it"!
Liping saw Liping bending over and scrubbing her clothes, showing a particularly hard look, and she couldn't help it, so she plugged in the washing machine placed on the balcony, and then turned on the faucet, and poured all the clothes in Liping's plastic basin into the washing machine without saying anything, and then pressed the button, "boom, boom", and the washing machine motor began to rotate.
"Don't, don't, sister-in-law, don't ——!"
Liping watched in amazement as her sister-in-law finished all this, and hurriedly got up in a panic to stop it, but it was completely too late.
"Liping, are you afraid that your mother-in-law will intervene? Hmph, don't worry, I'm here to help you take it! ”
Yalan saw that Liping still wanted to turn off the washing machine, so she reached out to stop her, and waited for the tap water to fill the washing machine drum with a "whoosh", and she stood firmly next to the washing machine like a sentry.
Soon, the washing machine drum was filled with water, and the washing machine began to start "woo-woo".
Sure enough, after a while, the mother-in-law heard the sound of the washing machine on the second floor downstairs, and immediately took clumsy steps, drove her fat body, and ran from the first floor to the second floor with a "pop", and after passing through Liping's room, she came to the balcony angrily, ready to reprimand Liping.
However, when the mayor's wife ran to the balcony and suddenly saw the eldest daughter-in-law Yalan holding her hands around and guarding the washing machine with a stern attitude, she was stunned!
After being stunned for a moment, the mayor's wife estimated in her heart:
Today, is Arlan deliberately looking for my stubble?
Could it be that I have offended her in the past two days? There shouldn't be a wow!
Ahem, no matter what, in front of Liping today, I'd better avoid her.
After pondering in her heart for a while, the mayor's wife swallowed back the words that she was going to reprimand Liping.
Her two daughters-in-law on the balcony glanced at it, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said blankly:
"Yo, are you two in the sun? Today's sun is not bad! ”
"yes, the sun is nice today! The washing machine was nice too. Liping finished washing her clothes early, so she could dry them early! ”
Arlan replied in a distinctly provocative tone, slanting his eyes at the mayor's wife as he spoke.
"Well, yes, the sun is good, and the washing machine is good! Let's talk. ”
After the mayor's wife finished speaking, she glanced at the two daughters-in-law, turned around and walked away.
"How? Liping, see it! ”
After the mayor's wife left, Yalan smiled triumphantly and said happily:
"This mother-in-law of ours is so virtuous! Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, persimmons pick the soft ones! The weaker you are in front of her, the more she bullies you! If you get hard, she'll be more and more aggressive! In the future, you will follow my example, boldly do it with her, and if there is anything, my sister-in-law will carry it for you! ”
Liping looked at Yalan silently, full of gratitude to her.
At the same time, Liping was also silently listening to the sound of the washing machine "whirring" and spinning, without answering a word.
The first battle has been won!
Arlan is more confident in his ability and grasp of victory!
In order to fully show her sister-in-law's sincere concern for her brother and daughter-in-law, the next evening, after Liping got off work, she took her daughter back to Wang's house from her mother's house, and just put her in her room on the second floor, Yalan took the initiative to enter Liping's room again, and said to her with concern:
"Liping, today, I want to come forward in person, and I want to fight against her for you in front of my mother-in-law! I'm going to try to get rid of all the housework of cleaning the second and third floors! ”
Liping listened to her sister-in-law's words, her eyes widened in surprise, she paused for a moment, and quickly shook her head at Yalan and said:
"Don't, sister-in-law, I thank you in advance! But don't fight your mother-in-law. The sanitation of the second and third floors can be done by me alone, so don't fight for it with your mother-in-law. ”
"Don't fight? That's not going to work! Didn't I tell you? The two of us married into the Wang family, not to be slaves, let alone to be old mothers!
We have our personality, we have our dignity! I remember when I was in school, I took a course on Marxism-Leninism. What is the essence of Marxist-Leninist philosophy? The essence of Marxism-Leninism is the philosophy of struggle! Everything in the world survives, grows, and develops in struggle!
According to the words of our Chinese ancestors, this is also called the law of 'the law of the jungle'. Okay, today, let's not talk about philosophy. Anyway, you can't do the sanitation on the second and third floors of the Wang family!
Okay, you don't have to worry about this, look at me! ”
After Yalan finished speaking, she smiled confidently at Liping, and then turned back to the next room.
No, sister-in-law, you, don't, don't fight against your mother-in-law!
Liping wanted to reach out and hold her sister-in-law and stop her.
However, Liping hesitated for a long time, didn't squeak for a long time, and watched Yalan stride out of her door.
Liping let out a long sigh gloomily, shook her head, and then walked to the balcony, took out a mop from the washing pool in the corner of the balcony, and began to mop the floors on the second and third floors in accordance with her mother-in-law's "division of labor".
