"Shumei, I'm sorry."

Jizong, who had been silent, looked at Shumei, who was busy under him, and finally spoke.

"What's there to be sorry for?"

This Jizong's incontinence is really a troublesome thing, and it is impossible to always let him be laza in bed! Where are there so many beds at home to change, Shumei temporarily hugged a stack of straw paper pads under Jizong, rummaged through the unwanted rags and cotton clothes, and sewed urine pads for Jizong.

Jizong originally wanted to tell Shumei his thoughts, but he was already like this, Shumei didn't have a good life for two days with him, he really couldn't bear Shumei to continue this inhuman life because of his own drag. He wants to divorce Shumei and let Shumei go. But looking at Shumei, who was busy before and after, he couldn't open his mouth.

"In the middle of the night, if you don't cook, is this going to starve us to death?"

Wu Ju sat in the hall, she was idle, but she didn't want to go to cook, and shouted at the top of her voice.

When Shumei heard this, she put down her work and prepared to get up and go out to cook. Although she is still in confinement, although she is exhausted, although her mother-in-law has discarded her own flesh and blood, but in order for her life to continue, in order for Jizong to live with more peace of mind, she has to grit her teeth and persevere.

Love? She believes that the relationship between herself and Jizong is true love. Since you love, since you have started, there is no reason to give up halfway. Love is not all about me; Love is not all happiness; Love is not only staying together in good times, but also never giving up in adversity.

What will tomorrow bring? She doesn't know, but she firmly believes that there will be a rainbow after the storm.

What I have to do is to put all my efforts into it, try to make life go on, in the chickens and dogs, in the gossip, in the stormy waves, let my love once again exude the taste of happiness.

"Auntie, Shumei still has to watch the child! You ......"

Jizong thought that since he couldn't help Shumei, at least he couldn't watch his own mother abuse Shumei so unscrupulously.

Before Jizong's words were finished, Shumei shook her head at him and interrupted you.

"You watch the kids, I'll cook."

Shumei put on her apron, walked out of the room, and opened the rice jar placed in the hall, the rice jar had bottomed out, and the remaining rice was barely enough for today's dinner.

"A-Niang, is there still millet at home? I'm going to fetch some rice tomorrow. ”

"Millet? The chaff is gone, and there is still millet. If you don't think about it, our family will have to wait for death. ”

The weekday expenses are all paid by Shumei and them, after so many years, it is impossible for Wu Ju not to save some savings, she just doesn't want to take them out.

Shumei didn't say anything, and quietly went to the kitchen to make dinner. After the family happily settled the "Last Supper", they all went back to their rooms.

Soon, Wu Ju's lights went out. On Shumei's side, Jizong was lying on the bed, protecting the sleeping child with his hands, but his eyes were wide open, accompanying Shumei, who was still making urine pads for herself.

"Shumei, it's late at night, will you do it tomorrow?"

"No, I have a lot to do tomorrow! This is what you are waiting for, and I can't afford to do so. ”

"Then sit down on the bed! You haven't been out of confinement yet, it's freezing, be careful to freeze. ”

Hearing Jizong say this, Shumei took the needlework basket and went to the quilt to continue to make it.

"Shumei, marry me, do you regret it?"

"What are you talking about? Don't think about it so much, life will get better, if time can be turned back, I will still choose to marry you without hesitation, you don't have too much burden in your heart, we will change roles in the future, you are inside and I am outside, there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts. ”

Shumei actually said this to Jizong with a smile, Shumei could think like this, Jizong should be happy, but the more Shumei treated him, the more he blamed himself in his heart. This is the blessing he has cultivated for several lifetimes, and he can marry such a good wife in this life.

Before dawn on the second day, Shumei got up, carried the child on her back and rushed to the brick factory where Jizong was located.

This family has so many mouths waiting to eat, relying on the harvest in the field alone, I am afraid that it will be precarious, and I will not have the next meal. She had to find a way to survive for her family, and everything had to start with filling her stomach.

Although she has become a mother, she is still charming, and she can still attract bees and butterflies wherever she goes, if she is not carrying a child on her back, no one will believe that she is a wife. The ravages of fate and the passage of time have added a lot of new wounds to her heart and spirit, but there is no trace on her handsome face.

As soon as you enter the gate of the brick factory, it attracts a commotion. The men in the crowd who were of different heights, fat and thin, and ages, but all of them were gray-haired, began to cast lustful glances at Shumei.

"Look, look, there's a situation over there."

A man's voice forced everyone to look at Shumei. Although Tang Boyi was also among them, he was not so idle and nosy, and buried himself in the work in his hands.

"Wow! Whose daughter-in-law is this? Born so tender. ”

"Hey! Isn't it yours? ”

"He? You look at his bear-like appearance, how can people look at him, haha......"

"This kind of woman is not something you and I can afford."

"Yes, yes, beautiful women are not safe, maybe one day they will become turtles, and they will have to help others raise sons."

"Hahaha......"

The men began to use Shumei as an introduction, and joked with each other while doing their work.

Under the guidance of the goalkeeper, Shumei carried the child on her back and walked towards the factory director's office.

Tang Boyi's audience chatted so energetically, and couldn't help but look up curiously, "Shumei, what is she doing here?" Although it was just a back, Bo Yi recognized Shumei at a glance. He dropped his work and ran towards Shumei.

"Could it be Tang Boyi's daughter-in-law?" The workers watched Tang Boyi chase after Shumei and said suspiciously.

"No, it won't! Didn't you hear that Bo Yi's daughter-in-law is a heavyweight? It's not like that! ”

"Yes! I heard that Boyi's daughter-in-law died in childbirth. ”

"Dead? Is this newly-married? ”

"Wouldn't it? I haven't heard of it! ”

……

The workers are still talking about the relationship between Boyi and Shumei.

At this time, Tang Boyi had already caught up with Shumei.

"Shumei, what are you doing in the factory?"

"Bo Yi! I want to ask for an explanation for Jizong, at least let the factory give some compensation! ”

"That's it! I'll go with you! ”

"This ...... This won't delay you from going to work, right? ”

"It's okay, and there's no shortage of this moment and a half."

The two walked side by side towards the factory director's office, at this moment, such a harmonious picture is really a bit like a happy family of three.

Bo Yi knocked on the factory director's office door for Shumei, knowing that this kind of thing was offensive, and if she didn't do it, she might lose her job. But for the sake of Shumei, Bo Yi can't take care of so much.

"What's the matter?"

The director of the factory was a fat man in his forties, somewhat balding. Seeing Shumei and Bo Yi coming in, he stopped pressing the counter's hand.

"This is Zhang Jizong's daughter-in-law, she ......"

"Hello factory director, my man Zhang Jizong was smashed and injured in the factory the day before yesterday, if he is not operated on in time, he will be paralyzed for life, which is the result of the hospital examination."

Shumei interrupted Boyi's words and put the checklist in her hand on the desk.

The factory director picked up the checklist on the table and glanced at it randomly, "Then you should take him to the hospital quickly!" Don't worry, my position here will always be kept for him. ”

The factory director didn't seem to understand Shumei's intention at all, put down the checklist in his hand, and said casually. The left hand continued to flip through the ledger on the table, and the right hand moved back and forth on the keys of the calculator.

"Ahem...... Although I know the law, I also know that it is a work-related injury, and I asked the factory director to pay the medical expenses and let my husband have surgery as soon as possible, so as not to delay the best treatment time. ”

Shumei stood in place, coughed lightly twice and cleared her throat, and explained her intentions directly to the point, and her tone was quite kind.

Hearing Shumei's words, the factory director stopped what he was doing and brushed the few remaining hairs on the top of his head with his hands. took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, took it into his mouth, and unhurriedly struck the match, lit the cigarette on his mouth, took a hard puff, skillfully took off the cigarette with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and spit out a big smoke ring in the direction where Shumei stood.

Shumei's face was calm, and she did not have the slightest timidity because of the serious expression of the factory director.

Bo Yi didn't have a bottom in his heart, and his body unconsciously leaned towards Shumei's side. Shumei doesn't understand, he can be like a mirror in his heart, the factory clearly prohibited, every rainy day will stop work, the day before yesterday the factory director also issued an early order to stop work, Jizong This is really not a work-related injury, even if it is in the village and town, or even in the county, the factory is not at fault.

The factory director took two more puffs, and finally threw the remaining half of the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table, "Big sister, your husband was injured, and I also deeply sympathize, but he disobeyed the ban in the factory and mined in the rain without permission, which caused such a bad result, which is really not the fault of our factory." ”

"He works in your factory, and the injuries he suffered in your factory, you even said that it has nothing to do with it, no matter how you say it, you are also a person in high society, how can you be so conscienceless when you speak, you are trying to force our family to death!"

Although Shumei's tone was a little rushed, it was not too unpleasant.

"I'm not a benevolent person, and I have no obligation to save the injured and flatten ......" Before the factory director finished speaking, the phone on the table rang, and he picked up the phone, "My dear, don't be angry, I'll take a look at last month's account and go over immediately." ”

The voice of a delicate woman on the other end of the phone was, "Immediately, immediately, how many times have you said it immediately, if you don't come again, I will immediately find a mountain village man to get the certificate, and let your son call someone else's father." ”
