Chapter 361: Alliance
Su Buregret looked a little embarrassed, and frowned: "Second aunt, you ask me what I think of my wife?" It's really hard for me. ”
"You know, she's not our own grandmother. Our own grandmother has always lived in the United States, and I'm not afraid to let you know the truth. We spent our honeymoon in Europe with old ladies. The old lady was separated from her only son in her early years, and she suffered a tragic accident in middle age. Now she only has one relative, Chengjun, and she just wants to be closer to us. ”
Gu Li didn't expect such a thing, her husband told her about the complicated interpersonal past of her in-law's family. It's not that she hasn't seen the world, but she didn't expect Ning Chengjun's room to be so clearly separated from them.
"We didn't have the same heart as them, and we used to be able to get along with everyone as if nothing happened. Now it has reached the state of daylight, and you saw it at dinner yesterday, and I don't pretend to be a family in front of the old man. So I can't hear any flattering good words here in Su Buregret, and she is a good person if she doesn't add fuel and vinegar to sow discord.
"It's okay, I take your word for it." Gu Li had a very trusting expression, and she took Su Buregret's hand: "My hometown is different from here, and our people there are very cheerful. If you say something, you really can't get into a fight. If the brothers are not on good terms, then the parents will each beat the child. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Li said quietly: "In fact, the atmosphere in our village has always been bad, and our daughters are very beautiful, but they are very hard. When we were at my mother's house, my brother could beat us casually, and we had to do a lot of work, cutting grass and feeding horses, picking cotton, picking fruits, cooking and washing clothes. Lots and lots of coolies to do, unlike the lesbians of the past on your side. I've read a lot of books, and I have a big temper, and I dare to fight with my husband when I get married. ”
"We don't dare to fight. A fierce man who drank alcohol would really cut off a woman's head with a knife. When Gu Li said this, her eyes darkened.
"That's how a cousin in our village died. She was very beautiful, and many young men in the village pursued her. But her father married her far, far away, and it took four days to ride a horse. She has not been home for more than ten years since she was married, and no one in the family has come to see her. Gu Li's nose soured when she said this.
"Zhong Qin went to work near their village, and when I heard about it, I wanted to go and see her." Gu Li sighed: "I have two sons with me, and I want her to see my husband and children. I also asked Zhongqin to borrow a colleague's camera and take photos and send them home. ”
Because he was a technician, the people in the village quickly accepted Ning Zhongqin. After learning that he had a wife and sister who were also from the same village, the fellow was very happy to ask. When he heard the name of Sister Guli, the fellow showed a strange expression. once complained about why Ning Zhongqin, a relative, was cold-blooded and timid, and how could his relatives bear to leave her alone.
Ning Zhongqin was confused by the complaints, and after hearing this, he broke out in a cold sweat and notified Gu Li's mother's family. It turned out that my cousin had died more than half a year ago, and she chose to hang herself because she couldn't stand the domestic violence.
She got married and had six children, but only two boys survived. The girls were all beaten to death, saying that they were not clean. Gu Li bit her lip and was indignant: "That man also said that since he is married, it has nothing to do with his mother's family." Whether it is life or death, we have no right to ask. ”
Her mother-in-law was even more hateful, saying that she was beaten because her sister was not good. said that it was because her mother's family didn't teach her well, she couldn't cook well and work well, and she would only give birth to girls if she even gave birth to children. said that now that her mother's family is here, she wants to talk to her mother's family. My sister has been married for more than ten years, and she doesn't work for nothing, so shouldn't her family give some compensation? ”
Su Buregret was dumbfounded: "What kind of place are you?" Reversing black and white is too much to distinguish between right and wrong? "Everyone said that she did not regret being born in the mountains, and the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people. But the people in the village are quite good to Granny Hua, and they are very willing to help their grandparents. Although there are occasional little frictions, ignorant little kids like to bully her. But if there was no certificate signed by the people in the village back then, how could she have the confidence to chase all the way to the capital to recognize her relatives?
"Of the five sisters in our family, I am the only one who is married to a foreigner, but I am also the best one to marry." Gu Li pursed her lips: "The first time I saw him, I knew that he was from a big city. He's different, he's different from everyone else I've ever met. He is good at everything, understands everything. ”
Gu Li's marriage to Ning Zhongqin was also considered to have gone through several twists and turns, but after getting married, life became more and more comfortable year by year.
"When I lived in the family home, I realized that everyone outside was like this. Both husband and wife went out to work to earn money and went to the cafeteria to eat after work. When he came home at night, he was writing and reading books, and I put on the radio to do housework. I remembered that she went back to her parents' house in the first year after she got married, and followed the married sisters to talk about her little days.
"I told my sisters that I was mopping the floor with a mop while listening to the commentary on the radio. The ground was dragged three times, and I didn't feel tired or panicked. Sometimes he would help me clean the glass and twist the sheets. My sisters didn't believe me. Gu Li recalled that year, and her heart was full of happiness.
"After Jiaojiao was born, he loved him more than his son. I knew that the greatest blessing in my life was to marry him. Gu Li looked at Su Buregret with a worried face: "However, when I knew that his family was very powerful, I was scared in my heart." ”
For a girl born in a small town, the farthest place she has ever been in her life is the county seat. It took her many years to go from a small-town girl to a base worker. holds the financial power of the family, and he is a family member, but he still feels that he is nothing in his bones.
When she realizes that her husband is going to return to his own world. Guli is very frightened, unknown cities, unknown families, and everything unknown.
"Birchin always told me that the capital is the most civilized place. The people here are very civilized, follow the one-child policy, and every family has a precious child. Riding the train, I really started to believe what he said. A lot of people take their children on the train, and they really treasure their children. Grandparents also spoil their grandchildren as eyeballs. But when I got off the train, I saw my mother-in-law.
The old woman who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously, with incense powder on her face, looked at her with a smile on her face, but her eyes were very contemptuous. Slowly examining her from the bottom to the top with the tail of her eyes, the feeling made her very uncomfortable.
She looked at her two sons and smiled happily. When I look at Jiaojiao, my eyes are full of disdain and even disgust.
Jiaojiao annoyed her and was shaved as a result, but Guli was not shocked. It's just that she's been living comfortably all these years, forgetting that she also grew up like this.
"So you beware of her torturing you?" Su Buregret comforted Gu Li with a smile and patted her on the back: "This is not the old society, she just doesn't like you at most, and she won't beat you." If we really hit you, we'll call the police. You don't have to live with her, and she won't let you serve her. ”
Gu Li frowned and muttered uncertainly: "I heard that this is not the case, the women here can't eat at the table." I don't care, I'm just distressed. If that's the case, it's better to go back to the base. The people there are very good, and she won't be angry when she gets married in the future. There is an emphasis on equality between men and women, and women can hold up half the sky. If there is a fight, the neighborhood committee and the women's office will help. Aunt Cao is the women's director of our factory, and when the female workers in our factory are angry, she will take many people to persuade peace. ”
Su Buregret felt that Gu Li was really cute, and originally thought she was a person with a lot of personality and scheming. It turned out that she was such a simple-minded woman.
"If you husband and wife come back to live your own life, you don't fight or grab, and you're not interested in fame, fortune, money, or wealth. Soon she will give up on you, and look at you like a useless person. It's the kind that doesn't even hurt to give you a broom. "Su does not regret Yi Guilan.
"She liked my aunt because she was an ambitious person. She likes the third uncle because the third uncle is the most competitive son, and this son has the potential to be a big official and ambitious. Needless to say, our family has nothing to do with her, and we can't count on it. The fourth uncle is physically handicapped, and he does not forget to rely on power. She felt that the fourth uncle was unproductive and was unwilling to take care of the fourth uncle. How old are the four uncles this year, more than 30 people, and they are still alone. She, who is a mother, is too lazy to care about her son's marriage. "Although even if Yi Guilan wants to take care of it, she can't control it.
"If the second uncle wants to go to the official career, what kind of official will he be, and he will go for real power. Then you're going to have to work hard. Su Buregret patted Gu Li's shoulder: "What should an official's wife do?" She likes to engage in lady diplomacy more than anyone else, playing cards, dancing, and tea parties. Your family background should be prominent, and your speech and demeanor should be noble and decent. She won't let you breathe a sigh of relief until you're sure you'll be a noble wife. ”
Gu Li's face was incredulous: "I must not be able to do it." I've never seen anything, and I don't understand what you're saying. What if I can't? ”
Su Buregret spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "Who can do it?" I haven't seen a few of them do it anyway, not even on her own. The third aunt is still from a famous family, and she finally became mentally ill. ”
Su Buregret sneered, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Li: "It's just ......."
Gu Li's eyelids jumped suddenly, and she swallowed saliva and said eagerly: "What? ”
"The third aunt and the third uncle divorced. The third uncle will soon marry a new daughter-in-law and enter the door. Su said without regret, do you want me to be more clear?
"No, Ning Zhongqin won't agree." Guli's face turned pale.
Su Buregret sighed in a low voice: "Second uncle is a scientific researcher, and he has been engaged in research for so many years. I guess he's not a sophisticated person who can do some tricks. ”
Gu Li nodded again and again, agreeing with Su Buregret's opinion: "Yes, Zhongqin is not such a person. He disdained such a thing, he couldn't even hear about it. If someone breaks the story, he will be the first to rush out and do justice. ”
This seems to be something that the second uncle can do. Scientists are generally very axial, and they will do one thing when they see it.
"But that's my mother, what if my mother gave a death order? Can you still be unfilial? Su Buregret's eyes were cold, and he reminded faintly: "I can't listen to it once or twice, but I have seen a lot, and even live together in the future, won't I listen to it?" ”
