After giving her the "first seven" for her father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Elaine returned to City B.

Because most of the relatives and friends in the village are working outside, everything is simple, and it is impossible to complete the funeral according to the old custom.

Because the sudden death of her father-in-law brought great stimulation to her mother-in-law, she was not worried that she was alone at home, and when she came back this time, they also brought her mother-in-law with her.

Huang Jianwen also seems to have changed as a person, he doesn't smile every day, and his gloomy face scares Niuniu so much that he doesn't dare to get close to him.

He just didn't know where to go to play cards except for drinking with a group of fellow villagers every day.

It's been half a month since I've been back, and I've not seen him go out to contact the business seriously, and the family's expenses plus rent cost a lot every month, so Elaine is very worried.

He also persuaded him euphemistically in private, and Huang Jianwen said viciously: "Do you have to worry about it?" Did I starve you? It's been going on all day long, and then I'm going to force me to beat you. ”

Elaine also felt sorry for him for losing his father rashly, and didn't care about the roughness of his words.

When the mother-in-law heard what Huang Jianwen said too much, she helped Ai Lian scold him, but he kicked open the door and left, leaving the two women staring at each other at a loss.

When Huang Jianwen didn't go home for a day and a night, Liu Mianmian found him in a chess and card room through his fellow villagers.

Looking at her husband with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes, Ai Lian was angry, she said: "Huang Jianwen, birth, old age, sickness and death are common, my father is gone, I am also very sad, don't we still have to live if we live?" What's the difference between you being like this and being dead? ”

"Calling you nonsense, are you expecting me to die?"

Huang Jianwen slapped Ai Lian's face, he saw a red slap mark swollen on his wife's white and tender round face, and there was a little stunned in his eyes, and then walked away.

Elaine covered her face and squatted on the side of the road and cried for a long time.

She especially wanted to go home and hug Niuniu to find Liu Mianmian, but thinking that Mianmian had just divorced and changed to a new job, she must be annoying and busy, so she didn't bother her, so she had to go home again.

After returning home, her mother-in-law saw the handprints on her face, so she asked what happened, Ai Lian aggrievedly told Huang Jianwen about beating her, and then said: "Mother, you say, how should our family live?" ”

The mother-in-law said, "Elaine, don't cry, when he comes back, I will beat him up and give you anger." ”

"Mother, if I don't go to work, you will be tired and take Niuniu, otherwise, I really can't live this day."

The mother-in-law wiped her tears and said: "It's just wronged you, don't be like him, he beat his father when he was a child, and suddenly his father is gone, he can't stand it." ”

Elaine turned away, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Elaine remembered that Liu Mianmian had said that it was best for her to learn a technique, but how could the current situation at home allow her to have this delusion.

Therefore, when she is looking for a job, she can only find supermarket tally, property cleaning and the like, not to mention the low salary, and the required working hours are long.

This made Elaine feel the importance of academic qualifications for the first time, and even if she had a skill, she would not be as passive as she is now.

Liu Mianmian was also very concerned about Ai Lian, so she took advantage of the break from work to buy gifts in the supermarket and came to Ai Lian's house, she thought that Ai Lian was at home with the children, and she did not call in advance.

As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard of Elaine's rented house, I heard a noise in the yard, and when I went in, I found that it was Huang Jianwen pushing Ailian, scolding and scolding in his mouth, Ai Lian did not show weakness, scolded him, and several neighbors stood next to him to persuade him.

Niuniu saw Liu Mianmian entering the yard, trotted over and hugged her legs, and said with tears on her little face: "Aunt Mianmian, Dad beats Mom." ”

Liu Mianmian took her hand, and Elaine also saw Liu Mianmian, covered her face and turned around and entered the house.

Liu Mianmian glanced at Huang Jianwen, who was dancing with teeth and claws, scolding, and pulled Niuniu into the house.

opened the yogurt box and took a bottle of yogurt to Niuniu, and Niuniu obediently hid to the side and drank the yogurt, looking at the adults in the room with big eyes.

"Elaine, does he do it with you often?" Liu Mianmian walked up to Elaine and pulled her shoulders to make her look at herself.

Elaine's eyes were red and swollen, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Liu Mianmian's eyes.

"No, he just started like this after my father-in-law died, and he didn't go out to look for a job, and he didn't care about the children, he squatted in the chess and card room for a day, and the whole person was decadent, I couldn't stand it and said him, so he did it with me." Elaine muttered.

"Why do you tell him that he is the only one who moves with you? Do you still help him find a reason? I'll go find him. ”

Liu Mianmian understood the cause of the conflict between Ai Lian and her family, got up and went to the courtyard to call Huang Jianwen, Huang Jianwen also gave Liu Mianmian face, and reluctantly entered the house.

"Huang Jianwen, do you still want to have a relationship with Elaine?" Liu Mianmian sat on the edge of the bed and looked directly at him and asked.

Huang Jianwen glanced at Liu Mianmian, lowered his head with a little embarrassment on his face, and did not make a sound.

"I know of course you don't want to get divorced, who wants a good family to be scattered like that, just like me, look at how difficult it is for me?" Liu Mianmian paused for a moment and continued: "You are the pillar of the family, you are not qualified to be decadent, the old and the young in this family are all pointing to you to feed." ”

Huang Jianwen suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and his shoulders shook and his mouth let out a "woo" cry.

"No one wants such a thing to happen to my uncle, but since it happened, don't we who are alive still have to look forward, is it impossible for the whole family to be old?

Elaine has been following you since she was eighteen years old, and she nagged you so much that no matter how annoying you are, you shouldn't have done anything with her if you give yourself two mouths! ”

Liu Mianmian thought of Huang Jianwen's fierce push against Ai Lian when he entered the courtyard, and his tone became heavier.

Elaine watched her husband cry bitterly, and the tears that had just stopped came down again.

Granny Elaine, who was standing against the door frame, also wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"I don't dare to go up to the roof to work, as soon as I think of my father as soon as I get on the roof, I have leg cramps, I can't work at all, woo..."

Liu Mianmian also felt sour in his heart, in addition to burns, the biggest danger of waterproofing is to fall, especially if he does it alone, like Huang Jianwen, he generally does some leakage renovation of private houses and factories, without special safety protection measures, and the slightest mistake may be fatal.

When I was in my hometown, I often heard about someone who was injured by a fall.

Because I never know what insurance is, I even need to pay for hospitalization and funeral expenses, which often leads to a situation where people and money are empty.

"Jianwen, I remember that you have a driver's license, it's A, right?"

The man raised his head to look at Liu Mianmian, not knowing what she meant, but he still nodded.

"Our company recruited truck drivers a few days ago, I think the treatment is still very good, five insurances and one housing fund are given, but sometimes you have to run long distances, I don't know if you can stand it? If you're interested, I can help you ask. ”

Hearing Liu Mianmian say that, Huang Jianwen stopped squatting, stood up and said, "Why can't you stand it?" Is there any harder job than dry waterproofing? I have no problem. Then can you please ask? ”

"Okay, I'll go to human resources to ask at work tomorrow, you can't do anything with Elaine again, if there is a next time, I'll take Elaine away and call the police directly to let the police arrest you."

Domestic violence is also a crime, you know? Liu Mianmian held Ai Lian's hand and looked at Huang Jianwen and threatened.

Huang Jianwen glanced at Liu Mianmian shyly, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Mianmian, if you can help Jianwen find a job, it will really help my family a lot, you look at the time of this time, the child is worried, and I am almost worried to death."

Granny Elaine walked into the house from the door and said excitedly to Mianmian.

"Auntie, I'll do my best, but because I'm not in charge of this, don't blame me if you can't do it."

"No blame, no blame, can't be like that." Granny Elaine wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said.
