Chapter 340, Good Boy
Xu, who used to have only a small number of white heads, has most of his hair turned white in just a few months, and it seems that he has not been combed for a long time; He was dressed only in a thin coat of dust, with patches on top of him that could not be seen; On his feet, he wore a pair of tattered single shoes, and the exposed toes were purple and purple and swollen like turnips; I counted the depleted face without a little human color, with deep and shallow cracks on it, some of which had blood scabs, and it looked very horrific, and the whole person was more than twenty years old.
Who would have thought that the arrogant Xu family would really have such a day. If it weren't for the fact that her voice hadn't changed, Guo Mianmian would almost not recognize who she was, and I am afraid that when she walked out, she would be recognized as Uncle Meng's mother.
I have to say that the Xu family fell into such a miserable field because she made stupid mistakes.
In the Meng family, not to mention wearing gold and silver, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. And Xu's sons are still filial, and usually their wives have to be petty to greet them, so it can be said that life is very comfortable. If she hadn't died by herself, she would have annoyed everyone by tossing all day long, and she would not have ended up being driven back to her parents' house at an age.
When she was first brought back to the Xu family, the Xu family was quite approachable to the Xu family, and they all acted chivalrous for her in and out of her words, accusing the Meng family of being ruthless and unrighteous white-eyed wolves. This was done in order to revoke Xu's guard and dig out a dozen taels of private money that had been hidden from her over the years.
The Xu family has been a cowardly from a sophisticated little to a coward, and they are very beeppy, but none of them are willing to stand up and go to the Meng family to ask for an explanation for the Xu family: they are the Xu family's mother's family, no matter whether they have any objections to the Meng family's practices, they all need to do this-
This does not confirm whether the Meng family has insulted the Xu family, but more to show outsiders, so that outsiders think that the Xu family is not easy to oppress or that the daughter of the Xu family is at a loss of virtue before being driven back to her parents' family. Otherwise, there is an aunt and grandmother who has been driven back to her parents' house because of her virtue, and the Xu family's face is not pleasant.
It just so happened that the Xu family was stupid and couldn't see through the sinister head of the mother's family, and when they saw them standing on their side, they were very moved in their hearts, thinking that this was their relatives, and the Meng family was vicious. Therefore, when the two of them were short of money and needed to borrow money to do things, she borrowed it without hesitation.
In this way, in just a month, the silver in Xu's hand was "borrowed" by the two of them with all kinds of pinched words, so that when Xu realized that something was wrong, she had no money in her hand.
Seeing that they could no longer squeeze oil out of Xu's hands, the two of them immediately changed their faces, drove Xu from the main house to the stove room to sleep, and let her come to sweep the floor, wash clothes, chop firewood and cook rice every morning...... In general, everything should be done on the Xu family, and she is completely called by her mother, and her daily meals are only two bowls of gruel, which can't fill her stomach and fight hunger.
It was only then that Xu really saw the faces of his mother's family clearly. Earlier, she resisted hard, how the Xu family didn't treat her as a relative at all, disgusted that she was thrown home for a lot of age and embarrassed, and beat her a few times before beating the Xu family honestly.
Every time he endured hunger and couldn't get out of bed when he was tired, the Xu family missed the days when he was flying in the Meng family, and later secretly ran to the Meng family while the Xu family was not paying attention, wanting to ask for Uncle Meng's understanding. Uncle Meng didn't do anything, and insisted on driving her away despite the dissuasion of his sons.
The Xu family had nowhere to go so they had to return to the Xu family, and after the Xu family learned that she secretly ran back to the Meng family to beg for help, their attitude towards her became more and more vicious, and they would beat her every once in a while, and even the grandson of the Xu family, who was only four or five years old, would kick her a few times from time to time for fun.
The more ruthless the Xu family became, the more the Xu family missed the Meng family, and gradually began to think about what they had done, and finally realized that she was a bastard, and it was too late to repent, she secretly ran back to the Meng family several times, but still failed to get Uncle Meng's forgiveness.
The Xu family knew very well that if she continued like this, she would die in the Xu family. Therefore, knowing that Guo Mianmian and others would go to the Meng family today to pay New Year's greetings, she once again quietly touched the Meng family while the Xu family was not paying attention, and there was a scene of kneeling for Guo Mianmian.
After bearing the ruthless betrayal of his mother's family, the Xu family finally lived a little clearer. She knew that today was her last opportunity, and if she didn't get the understanding of Guo Mianmian and Uncle Meng, she really had no choice but to end up. Even if she dies in the Meng family today, she will not return to the Xu family.
"I knew today, why did I ...... in the first place" Seeing that Xu refused to get up, Guo Mianmian's demeanor became extremely complicated.
She could see that Xu was really repentant, and she knew that she was wrong, the danger had been caused, so she forgave Xu so much, she asked herself if she could do it.
Xu's body trembled, and his forehead slammed on the ground harder and harder, making a "knock" sound, again and again.
Guo Mianmian listened, her heart was not a taste, and she turned around and said to Uncle Meng, who was expressionless, "Uncle Niang, this is your family, and it shouldn't be me, a junior, to interfere, no matter what kind of decision you make, I have no suggestion, and it will not affect the relationship between our two families." ”
She touched Uncle Meng's thoughts, and she didn't know if he was strong enough to not let the Xu family return, because he took into account the feelings of the two of them, or if he really didn't want to recognize Xu's wife. She couldn't forgive the Xu family, but she couldn't bear to be embarrassed by Uncle Meng, the elder, so she could only let Uncle Meng make up his own mind in a non-interfering environment.
In the final analysis, what the Xu family did in the past was very dangerous for her, the Xu family did not have a big deal with the Meng family, and now that the Xu family has fallen into such a miserable field, countless people in the Meng family are afraid that they hope that the Xu family can return. No matter what kind of decision Uncle Meng makes, she will not have any suggestions, but she will not take the Xu family in her heart.
"Ah, Rin's wife, are you and what you say from the heart?" Uncle Meng looked at Guo Mianmian sharply, unable to believe what he had heard.
Seeing this, Guo Mianmian didn't know that Uncle Meng, as she guessed, was indeed worried that she was strong and refused to let the Xu family enter the door. Thinking like this, her heart was a little relieved, and she said goodbye to Uncle Meng: "Today is not the time, since Uncle Niang's family has housework to deal with, we will go back first, and I will come to visit Uncle Auntie another day." ”
This is an indirect commentary, and what she said before was heartfelt. After that, she glanced at the two of them and asked them if they wanted to go back together.
Ma Shi naturally wouldn't be so blind, and pulled a few of the Duohua sisters and brothers to smile at Uncle Meng: "Uncle Auntie, then we will also go back, and we will come to visit you together in a few days!" ”
Zheng Shanqing approvingly on the side, looking like he didn't want to intervene in the Meng family's family affairs.
Looking at the kind nephews, nephews and wives, Uncle Meng had old tears in his eyes, turned around and wiped them before saying, "Okay, okay, Uncle Mother won't keep you, Uncle Mother will go to your house in person in a few days!" ”
As for what he will do at Zheng's house, everyone present is counting.
Guo Mianmian and the others nodded, said hello to the rest of the Meng family, and left together, no one paid attention to the Xu family who was still kneeling on the ground, but had already forgotten to kowtow again.
……
"Sister-in-law, what if Uncle Niang softens his heart and lets the Xu family return?" On the ox cart, Ma groped and asked Guo Mianmian.
In Ma's eyes, Guo Mianmian's sister-in-law is not a person who can not remember the old evils, and she always thinks that she did not take the opportunity to completely drive Xu away, which is not like her style of acting.
Looking at the gossipy Ma family, Guo Mianmian was a little speechless: "It is indeed a matter of the eldest uncle's family to let the Xu family return, and it has nothing to do with me, and my junior has no qualifications to manipulate the decision of the eldest uncle." ”
When Ma Shi heard this, he said eagerly: "Why doesn't it matter?" Then the Xu family bullied you, and was driven back to her parents' house by the eldest uncle, if you refuse to forgive the Xu family, the eldest aunt will not let the Xu family return. ”
Seeing Ma's big reaction, Guo Mianmian couldn't help laughing: "Can't you see that the eldest uncle has relented?" No matter what kind of person Xu is, she has been married to her uncle for decades, and her uncle will not be without emotions for her. In the past, the eldest aunt refused to let the Xu family enter the door because of me, but now the Xu family is so miserable, if I continue to hold on, will I let the eldest aunt die lonely? ”
Ma Shi had nothing to say, she asked herself if it was her, and she was not able to harden her heart to prevent Xu's return.
mentioned that except for the Xu family's-stirring stick, the rest of the Meng family is either good, even if it is for the sake of the mother-in-law's face, it is impossible to let the eldest aunt and uncle not even have a person who knows cold and hot when he is old!
Thinking so in his heart, Ma Shi was still a little embarrassed, and asked again: "If Xu's dog can't change his eating, what should he do if he bothers you like in the past?" ”
Guo Mianmian smiled: "Peace of mind, with the teaching of the past few months, the Xu family does not dare to regenerate moths." What's more, even if she is back to her old ways, she doesn't need me to speak, and the eldest aunt will definitely block her first, and then let her find out in front of me when she has the opportunity. ”
Ma thought about it for a while, thinking that this was a big deal. She looked at Guo Mianmian, who was frank and open, and was not worried at all, and silently complained about "cunning", but she admired her very much in her heart, admiring her for being able to easily make people accept her feelings and remember her goodness.
Back home, just in time for a lift for lunch. Guo Mianmian, who had been hungry for a long time, and the others didn't care about talking about the Meng family, so they gathered around the table and buried their heads in hard work. After waiting for the food to be very little, Guo Mianmian gradually told the second elder of the Zheng family about his part-time job.
Meng Shi was impressed, and took Guo Mianmian's hand and couldn't stop saying: "Good boy, good boy, I really wronged you......"
Guo Mianmian shook his head: "Uncle Auntie's family is reunited, what is it for my junior to be wronged." ”
Ma on the side almost sprayed rice, and once again silently complained about "cunning", thinking that he would not be blamed for this sister-in-law, so as not to be cheated and tell people good things about her, which would be too aggrieved and would make people depressed to death.
Meng didn't know what Ma was thinking, and when he heard Guo Mianmian's words, he was once again honored to be honored to be able to marry such a good wife. Fortunately, in front of Ma's family, she didn't pile up all the words she could boast on Guo Mianmian.
The next day, a group of juniors from the Meng family came to the door to greet the old couple of the Zheng family, and Uncle Meng also came, bringing the Xu family.
As soon as Xu entered the door, he apologized to Meng. After obtaining Meng's understanding, she then thanked Guo Mianmian again, repented of the bastard things she had done before, and hoped to seek Guo Mianmian's understanding.
Guo Mianmian didn't say that he understood, nor did he say that he didn't understand, he only asked Xu to remember his words and not to slap himself in the face in the future.
Before coming, Xu, Uncle Meng and others guessed Guo Mianmian's attitude, and now seeing that she no longer blames Xu, but she also refuses to forgive Xu, she has to bear it while being disappointed in her heart, and this is a good result that they can predict, so they no longer do the rest of the extravagant hopes.
This matter was revealed. Xu remembers the teachings and does not die again, and everything in the past will eventually pass......
Time flies, and the Lantern Festival passes. Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, the doors of the town's workshops were wide open, and the workers who had gone back were all back, almost each carrying a cloth bag full of shoes and soles made during the Chinese New Year.
Chunxiang sample: Everyone's name was carefully counted, and the number of shoes was in line with the soles and materials they had taken home years ago, so they were recorded and put into storage. These shoes do not have to be pulled back to Shangzheng Village and taken away from the workshop when the Zhang family comes to pull the goods.
After a busy morning, as soon as Chunxiang took a breath, Zhou Ju ran over and said, "Auntie, Fu Gui is here again, and he brought his father and mother over, saying that he was looking for you to have something." ”
