I could guess what he might have said when he came after him, but it didn't help my mother's psyche, and neither did I.

My mother seemed to be chasing him coldly, but he refused and insisted on seeing me.

I only heard my mother drink coldly: "What do you want to see Xiaoru do?" Haven't your family bullied her enough? Do you think that when her father is gone, she won't take me seriously? You give me out, and from now on you will never be welcomed in our house again. ”

Zhou Yu stubbornly replied: "Mom, I didn't tell you that my parents came back, I was indeed at fault." But my heart for Jia Xiaoru is real, you can't confuse me with my parents, and as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully her again. ”

"Anyone?" The old mother sneered, "Can you control your mother?" ”

"They will go back to the United States after this year, and they will not stay here forever."

"Yes, your family has immigrated to the United States with all the money, how can you look down on ordinary people like us? I advise you not to stay in this poor country, and quickly divorce Xiaoru and go to the United States, we will never get along with each other from now on. ”

My heart aches, and I can't get along with each other...... Mom originally liked Zhou Yu very much, but how much hatred should she have to say such things today.

Hearing Wei Wenjun beside him, he also advised: "Wenhui, if you have something to say, don't be angry with children, it's best to ask Xiaoru's opinion on this matter." The mother raised her voice angrily: "She is my daughter, so naturally I am in charge, and I said that the divorce must be given to me." ”

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't divorce. ”

"See you in court." Mom rushed out.

I closed my eyes and felt a splitting headache, what a good year and a good home, what is it like this?

"Jia Xiaoru, I know you're inside." Suddenly, Zhou Yu shouted loudly, suddenly opened his eyes and looked sideways at the door, and his ears couldn't help but listen.

"It's my fault for this today, when I learned that my mom was talking to your mom in private at the old house this morning, I shouldn't have turned off the phone and didn't let you know. But I'm afraid that you will think about it, and I'm afraid that if you don't talk well, it will hurt you, but I didn't expect that my mother would be so wronged, and I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my parents. ”

I couldn't help but move to the door, opened a crack in the door, and just saw Zhou Yu bend down and bow vertically at ninety degrees.

"Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

I couldn't see my mother, I only knew that after Zhou Yu apologized so humbly and sincerely, my mother didn't scold again. The tear glands, which had been dried up, suddenly became moist again, and tears welled up.

got up from the ground and wanted to go out, but I heard my mother say in a heavy tone: "Xiaoyu, you come out with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at the door on my side, not sure if he saw me in the crack in the door, turned around and followed my mother away. I opened the door and saw Wei Wenjun still standing in the hall, he was about to open his mouth and shut up when I made a silent gesture, looking at me helplessly.

I walked lightly to the door, listened carefully, and heard no movement outside the door. When I walked out of the door, I didn't see my mother and Zhou Yu, did they go downstairs? After a little hesitation, I quietly went downstairs, always vigilant and listened to the movement downstairs, until I reached the bottom of the floor, I vaguely heard the voice, it turned out that my mother called someone downstairs.

No matter what kind of mentality I have, I want to hear what my mother and Zhou Yu will say.

When I got closer, I waited with bated breath and pricked up my ears to listen. They should be standing at the corner of the corridor, I don't know what we talked about before I came, I just heard Zhou Yu ask softly: "Mom, what are you referring to?" I don't get it. ”

My mother was silent for a moment before she spoke, but she asked, "Do you know why I want Xiaoru to divorce you?" ”

I couldn't help frowning, my mother was determined to divorce Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said: "Mom, I know that I am at fault and did not handle the relationship between you and my parents, but I will find a way." ”

"What can you think of?" Mom's tone...... I can't say it, it's kind of a sense of seeing through.

And Zhou Yu couldn't say anything specific at this time, so he quieted down again.

After a while, I heard my mother's voice speak: "Xiao Yu, I'll just ask directly, do you know what happened back then?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your aunt and Xiao Ru's father."

My heart skipped a beat, and I thought, "What is my mother talking about?"

The silence of this moment made me feel particularly uneasy, and I didn't know what would be revealed in the next moment.

Mother: "After your mother broke you apart, she told the real reason for rejecting Xiaoru, I think it is necessary to ask you to understand the situation on your side." Your parents are more than ten years older than me and her father, and at that time, it was not like your young people who were in vogue for free love, all through introductions. After your mother and your father gave birth to the eldest of your family, she thought that her father was a good person, so she wanted to introduce your aunt to him. Oh, I didn't know his dad yet. ”

From my mother's mouth, I told a story from a long time ago.

The protagonist of the story is my father, of course, there was no me at that time, and my mother didn't know my father yet. At that time, the grandparents were still alive, and the father was the only son in the family, although the family was poor, he was also good-looking.

Zhou's mother saw that her father was also young and promising, so she introduced her sister to her father, originally planning to be neighbors with sisters, and they could also take care of her. Dad is a proper person, since someone introduced him to talk seriously, talked about it for a year, the head of the family felt that it was time to do a happy event for Dad, so he went to Zhou's mother's house to propose.

The two families already knew it, so they hit it off.

But while the two families were preparing for the marriage, something happened. Zhou's mother's sister got separated when she followed her father to the city to buy wedding items, and her father came back and called many people to go to the city to look for them, but they couldn't find anyone in various places.

Mom's house will definitely stop next week, it was my father who took people to the city and lost them, and this responsibility should be borne by my father.

My mother didn't elaborate on the specific situation here, and it is estimated that she didn't know because she wasn't there. only said that Zhou's mother's sister was found later, but she became crazy, I don't know what stimulated me, and I don't know my father anymore.

This marriage was officially shattered, and since then, Zhou's mother has hated her father's family, even if it is a neighbor, they can't enter the door, and they are like seeing enemies when they meet. Later, she and Zhou's father began to go out to do business, and it was rare to come back once or twice a year, so the matter gradually faded away. Grandma asked someone to find a family for my father again, and this time I said that the matchmaker went to my mother's house.

When my mother married my father, it had been more than five years since that incident, and no one in the village went to gossip anymore, and my mother didn't like to talk to people more, so she never knew about it.

It wasn't until yesterday that Zhou's mother told what had happened. Only then did I know that our Jia family and their Zhou family still have this layer of resentment in it.

I'm embarrassed, no wonder Zhou's mother rejects me so much, it turns out that the so-called background background is just an excuse, the real reason is mixed with the grievances of the previous generation.

I can't imagine the people and things of that era, I haven't experienced it, but it should be an era of self-isolation and stubbornness. Arranged marriage is a common thing, and people's concepts are also very stubborn, whether it is wrong with the father, Zhou's mother's family must have resented the father for a lifetime. Now that I think back to my father's death, I went to Zhou's house, and Zhou's mother said those words, I am afraid that there is another layer of deep meaning hidden behind it.

After the story was told, my mother asked Zhou Yu again: "Do you know about this matter?" ”

I didn't hear Zhou Yu answer, and I said that he hadn't been born yet, so I shouldn't have known.

But I heard my mother ask again: "Then when you approached Xiaoru at the earliest, did you have a purpose?" ”

Stunned, what does mom mean by this? No, she asked so, did Zhou Yu just nod and admit that she knew about it?

I still couldn't hear Zhou Yu's response, and I panicked unconsciously, because I was very uneasy about my mother's words.

"You held back in front of me and didn't say a word, did I say it?" There was more anger in my mother's voice, "I really don't know how your mother instilled those things in you, and actually let you lie to people as a child, is this the upbringing and habits of your Zhou family?" ”

"Mom, it's not what you think." Zhou Yu finally spoke, but there was more bitterness in his voice.

My mother shouted angrily: "Don't call me mom anymore, I can't stand it, our family Xiaoru can't climb your Zhou family, and you don't have to wait for another time, now you go back and get the household registration book, and I will take Xiaoru to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce." ”

Zhou Yu said stubbornly: "I don't divorce Jia Xiaoru, and the Civil Affairs Bureau is also closed today." ”

One sentence choked my mother and stomped away in anger.

I didn't expect my mother to suddenly come back upstairs and collide with me directly, and my mother exclaimed: "Xiaoru, why are you here?" I felt that the figure in front of me flashed, and Zhou Yu entered the line of sight with an arrow step, and my gaze and his gaze met in the air.

For the first time, I felt that the gloss there was not so pure.

The first thing I said was, "I heard what you just said." ”

When both pairs of eyes showed shock, I said again: "Mom, I want to talk to Zhou Gongjin." ”

My mother drank in a rough voice: "What are you talking about, you go up with me." ”

I grinned, "Mom, I'm 27 years old, oh no, I'm 28 years old after the New Year, not 8 years old or 18 years old, I don't want to be a fool." I'm a party anyway, and you at least let me know what's right and wrong. ”

My mother's eyes became very complicated when she looked at me, there were worries and nervousness, helplessness and compromise, and finally she sighed: "Mom is old and has no energy to take care of this matter, you can do it yourself." ”

After finishing speaking, she wiped my body and went upstairs, I listened to the heavy steps and went up one step at a time, until I couldn't hear it, I looked into Zhou Yu's eyes and said, "Go out for a walk." ”

He nodded, and we walked side by side along the neighborhood road.
