Chapter Twenty-Four: Stirring Up the Mother-Child Relationship
Gao Xiufen put the fault on Zhao Hongmei with a word, and when the two returned to Yu's house, although Yu Dahai was silent, he did not wait to see Gao Xiufen as when he just came out of the family building.
The Yu family was eating, and looking at the little bud rice porridge left in the pot, it could be seen that they were all about to eat.
Knowing that his mother was eccentric, Yu Dahai saw this scene, and then thought back to the mood when he left home in the morning, and felt very uncomfortable.
When the husband and wife came back, Yu's mother didn't raise her eyelids, and directly treated the two of them as air, such an attitude stimulated Yu Dahai's heart fiercely.
His hand was held, and he looked up to see his wife's smiling face, "The sea, the bud rice and noodle porridge are cold, you go wash it first, I'll get some more, it's been a day of work, and I have to eat hot." ”
Yu's mother's eyes widened, and she snapped and dropped her chopsticks, and just about to open her mouth, Gao Xiufen had already opened her mouth again, "Mom has a big family at home, and she can't be asked to wait for the two of us with her family so late, and besides, Dad is not in good health, and he can't be hungry." ”
If it had reached the throat, it was seen back, and Yu's mother only felt that she had swallowed an egg in one bite, and she almost choked herself to death.
Yu Dahai had already seen his mother patting the chopsticks, not to mention the past few months when he went home, even before he went to the countryside, his mother had always been eccentric, and Yu Dahai had never refuted and resisted.
His wife's words gave him warmth, but he understood better that it would attract his mother's anger, and he was debating whether he should help his mother when he scolded his wife for a while, after all, his wife also cared about him, but he didn't expect that when the words changed, it would be fine.
Yu Dahai looked up and saw his wife coaxing his mother, "Mom, you can go to the house tomorrow if it's okay, you are the head of the family, although I moved out with the sea, then you have to be in charge of our house." I'm young and uninformed, I don't know a lot of things, the sea usually goes to work, I don't know what to do, I have to keep an eye on it. ”
Yu's mother had a cold face, "What kind of house do I have to live with, and I am annoyed by this old woman, I don't want to be an eyesore." ”
Gao Xiufen had work in her eyes, and when she saw that the family had put chopsticks away, she smiled while cleaning up the table, "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, anyway, you don't care about it, I and the sea can rely on you." ”
Although Yu's mother still had a cold face, there was a smile in her eyes, and she was happy to be coaxed by these words, but when she saw that her son was still with a cold face there, she snorted coldly, "Okay, let's go cook, go to bed early after eating, don't waste electricity." ”
Gao Xiufen responded briskly, took the dishes and chopsticks in the basin to the outhouse, turned around and came back and wiped the table with a rag, removed the kang table, and then went to the outhouse to make food.
Without Gao Xiufen to ease the atmosphere, the air pressure in the room dropped again, Yu's mother waited for a while, and when she saw her son sitting on the bed, she just refused to start and bow her head first, and her heart was angry.
For a while, I thought that I was not as good as a daughter-in-law married in the countryside who could speak, so it was no wonder that I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law in the city.
"How much does it cost to buy a home today?" Not enough for your mom to get you some more. Yu's father opened his mouth, he couldn't watch his daughter-in-law and his son be estranged, "It's good to move out, and tell the family if you have anything." ”
"There is no money at home." The money in the pocket, of course Yu's mother didn't want to take it out again, and talked about the family's current expenses, "A big family is thirty yuan a month, it's good to be full, you see which family is still like our family to eat bud rice porridge for a meal, and they have already eaten dry, just our family eats thin, and now they move out to live, and that bit of work has to be divided into two parts, I think that although it is thin in the future, don't expect to be full." ”
That's right, it's really difficult at home, but at this time, in the ears of the sea, I always feel that my mother is accusing him of not being able to earn money.
The resentment was stacked layer by layer, and he couldn't hold back it anymore at this moment, bursting out, he raised his head, and his voice was cold, "Mom, the family has a large population, so it's not okay to let the second brother's family get another ten yuan for living expenses every month." ”
"How can your second brother be rich if he doesn't go to work? What's the matter, you're still eyeing your second brother now? Yu's mother immediately exploded, "Boss, do you have a conscience, you don't know how your job came about?" If your second brother hadn't let you, would you have been able to return to the city? Can you still divide the room? Everything you have now was given to you by your second brother..."
"It's that he doesn't want to go, not to give it to me." Yu Dahai interrupted his mother's words, and his heart was cold, "Mom, I am also a son, I am the eldest in the family, and my father's work succession should also be mine, if you want to say that I let Baoyu, not Baoyu let me." ”
"Yu Dahai, do you still have a conscience?" Yu's mother is like a feathered hen, "Let me tell you, we can give your father's work to whoever we like, it's not up to you." It's the other way around, you have stiff wings now, and you don't take me and your dad seriously, do you? ”
Today, the two granddaughters went to their grandmother's house, and the son and daughter-in-law were not at home in the past.
"Yu Dahai, I'll put my words here today, don't think that if you have a home, you don't care about anything? You have to support me and your father, your brother is not working now, you have to support his family, and you will have to take care of your two nieces in the future. Yu's mother glared at her son fiercely.
With a snap, it was Yu's father who dropped the cigarette pouch, and his face turned pale, "Li Guimei, what are you going to do?" I can't call the shots in this family? ”
When Yu's mother heard her man call her by her name, her expression froze, and she knew that she was angry.
After Yu's father warned his wife, he looked at his son with a calm face, "Dahai, what your mother said is angry, you don't have to take it seriously." However, your brother has no job now, although your two nieces are taken care of by the Zhou family, but our old children in the family can't always take advantage of others, it has been a bit bitter in the past few years, you insist on persevering, just wait for your brother to have a job. ”
Even if Yu's father stood up, Yu Dahai's heart was not warmed, what if his father disciplined his mother? In the end, it was not to favor the second brother's family, let him raise a large family.
With a wry smile in his heart, Yu Dahai felt that it was useless for him to argue, in their eyes, he should be a cow and a horse for this family.
The door was pushed open, and Gao Xiufen probed in, "The sea, it's time to eat." ”
Whispering, at this moment like being in the dark, finally seeing a touch of light, Yu Dahai didn't want to let go, wanted to do everything to hold it in his hand, he responded with a smile, got up and walked out.
The door was closed, and the room was quiet again.
Yu Fangcai took a deep breath and came out, but seeing that her parents' faces were not good-looking, she didn't speak again, and she was glad that Gao Xiufen was in a hurry to come in, otherwise if the eldest brother and her father quarreled, the family would really be in chaos.
In the outhouse, Gao Xiufen put a potsticker in Yu Dahai's bowl, and whispered, "Eat quickly, don't let your mother see it, I secretly made it for you." ”
