The house rented by Ye Jingshu is located on the first floor of a small dilapidated building opposite the vegetable market in Yizhen Town, Sichuan, with only a simple one-bedroom apartment.

As soon as she opened the door, the pungent smell of the garbage that came to her nose made Han Dongmei feel her stomach tumbling badly:

Looking around, there was a small bed stuffed into the cramped hut. The bed was littered with dirty clothes that had not been washed, and the gray and greasy pillows and sheets looked like they hadn't been washed for days.

The corners of the room had long been occupied by the specks of black and blue mold, and the layers of spider webs covered on it seemed to be a testimony of the black spider's diligent "cultivation" in this dark and damp room.

"Coming back? Do you have any food?" I saw a man in a red autumn coat and blue bottoms pulling his shoes, and a man with a cigarette in one hand walking lazily over, with impatience in his tone.

Han Dongmei, this is the first time to take a closer look at Pu Dafu.

In fact, Ye Mu was not familiar with this man, but she just took a cursory glance when Jing Shu brought him home, because she had been busy in the kitchen at that time, and the man had only sat at home for less than twenty minutes before leaving in a hurry, so Ye Mu was not very impressed with him.

When I came out of the kitchen after cooking, I saw my husband, who had not touched wine for many years, drinking cup after glass, with an angry expression and red eyes.

I was going to ask my husband how the young man was, but seeing his appearance, I guess my impression of this young man was not good, so I had to give up.

After her daughter ran away from home, whenever she mentioned her daughter, her husband would say things like, "Just like I never had this daughter!" "Words like that. But after that, it was a heavy sigh.

Seeing that the home has become like a pig's nest, Ye Jingshu sighed, she has to take care of the business in the store on weekdays, and she has no time to take care of the hygiene at home. In addition, business has been getting better and better in recent years, and I process cooked food directly in the store and rarely go home.

Since the accident, her husband has been in a slump, becoming more and more lazy and lazy, and her temper is even more angry. Every day, I asked my eldest sister or my eldest brother, Pu Dagui, who occasionally came to live at home, to bring back food for her husband after she was full of wine and food in the store.

It's not that he didn't want to let his husband help in the braised meat shop, but Pu Dafu didn't want to show his face again, saying that he couldn't stand the ridicule of the townspeople, and laughed at him for marrying such a beautiful and capable mother-in-law who was crippled. Thinking that she abandoned her family and came to Sichuan with her husband without hesitation, and suffered all these years, Ye Jingshu felt that her eyes were swollen and painful.

Sensing that her mother was looking at her with distressed eyes, Ye Jingshu came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and forcibly squeezed out a smile and said, "Mom, this is my husband, Pu Dafu." ”

When the man who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog on the side heard this, he reacted, hurriedly threw the cigarette butt to the ground, stepped on it with his foot, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and after getting rid of the eye feces in the big corners of his eyes, he stammered: "Auntie, no, Mom, Mom, you are here, come in and sit." ”

Pu Xiu looked at Ye Mu's gloomy face and smiled awkwardly:

"Let's talk, I'll wash the pears for you, and I'll eat more for a while."

After that, he hurried downstairs to wash the fruit in the tap water of the neighbor's house, but he almost tripped over the small stool under his feet and fell on his stomach.

Pu Xiu was so angry that she couldn't care about the image of the virtuous and sensible eldest sister that she had endured for a long time in front of Mother Ye, so she kicked over the small stool, and couldn't wait to step on it a few more times to relieve her anger.

Mother Ye looked at everything that happened in just one minute, this funny scene now happened to her only baby daughter, it was not funny at all, her heart seemed to be soaked in alkaline water and rubbed hard, and she couldn't speak.

After so many years, is this how my daughter lives? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel angry in my heart, and asked sharply:

"Pu Dafu, don't call me Mom, is my daughter following you to let her enjoy happiness like this? I heard Jingshu say something about you, it's okay if you don't work, I can understand it, but you can't even take care of your own home like this now, what does this lazy look like? You see, is this like a place where people live? ”

Seeing that her former gentle and virtuous mother had become so fierce, and then looking at her husband's hands with nowhere to put and her face full of embarrassment, Ye Jingshu had to comfort her mother first, and frequently glanced at her husband:

"Mom, dissipate your anger, Brother Pu didn't know that you would come over suddenly today, or you would definitely clean up the house. Mom, you're tired from running so far, so drink a glass of water to dissipate your anger first."

Pu Dafu also reacted immediately when he heard this: "Yes, what Jingshu said is right, you sit down first, and I'll pour you tea." ”

After that, he moved the small stool that was kicked over by his sister again, asked Ye Mu to sit down, and ran over to find a cup to pour water for Ye Mu.

"No need!" Ye Mu's anger did not subside, and continued:

"Pu Dafu, I always felt that since Jingshu chose you, as long as you make her happy, I have nothing to object. However, Jingshu is my only daughter! No, I don't agree with you two living together anymore, I'm going to bring my daughter back to City A! ”

After that, he pulled his daughter to open the door and leave.

Pu Dafu, who was still pouring water, heard Ye's mother's words, and hurriedly turned around, but saw that his wife had been taken away by his mother-in-law, leaving him alone in this empty house.

At this time, Pu Dafu completely felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly went downstairs to talk to Sister A about it.

Ye Jingshu was pulled and left the house in a hurry, looking at her mother's anxious appearance, she reluctantly said:

"Mom, don't be angry, let me go back, I can't leave me at home."

Mother Ye was holding back her anger in the Pu family just now, and now when she heard her daughter say this, she looked at her daughter, who was skinny because of the pressure of life, and completely broke out:

"Why are you going back? Look at your eldest sister and your husband, who would rather be with us than cut ties with us, they call you one by one and bully you, do you still want to be with them? ”

"Jingshu, think about it, from childhood to adulthood, what do you want, when did I and your father ever wronged you? We even want to take off the moon for you to be your toy. Why should the babies we have worked so hard to raise let their families do this? Jingshu, my mother is distressed! ”

Looking at Ye Muhong's red eyes, Ye Jingshu's tears that had already swirled in her eyes couldn't stop flowing:

"Mom, it's all daughters who are unfilial, and they left you and their father behind, but we've been together for more than ten years!"

"But no matter what, he is my husband, seeing him become like that, how can I bear to leave him alone?"

"When he went to work, he had an arm accident and couldn't find a job when he went out to look for it. What will he do without me! Besides, my father has always disapproved of me being with Brother Pu, if I go back, will my father be so angry that he will break my legs? ”

Ye Mu heard this and immediately replied:

"How so? Your father loves you the most, he has been in the army for so many years, you know that he has a bad temper, what he says is angry, don't take it to heart. ”

But Ye Jingshu still couldn't rest assured: "Mom, I can't go back for the time being, so let's go back and talk to my father, if he really forgives me, I will definitely go home to see my father."

Mother Ye looked at her daughter who was so sensible, and was pleased to hold Ye Jingshu in her arms. After a long time, he opened the bag, stuffed all the 500 yuan he was carrying to his daughter, and reluctantly left Sichuandi.
