Chapter 6: The Shen Family

Seeing Lin Xiaoliang's movedness, Shen Xiu said, "Sister-in-law, shall I tell you about my family's affairs?" ”

Lin Xiaoliang nodded hesitantly.

In her previous life, she had never been able to understand anything about the Shen family, at first she wanted to understand but no one cooperated, and then the child was gone, and she didn't have the mental strength anymore.

Shen Xiu seemed to be considering how to phrase it, and it took a long time before he spoke: "My grandfather and grandmother only gave birth to one son of my father, and the others are aunts, so my father has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child, although he is not a bad person, but he is timid and has no responsibility. Grandpa and grandma knew his father's temperament, so they hired a shrewd and pungent aunt as his daughter-in-law. ”

"A-Niang is capable, but she can't stand her father's soft ears, and others will lend out the family's money when they say two good words, so the two have been married for more than ten years and have not earned any family funds, and they are barely able to maintain food and clothing. When his brother was fourteen years old, his family had no money to continue his education, so he packed his own baggage and went to work in the city. He has a good brain, he can always think of ways to make money, and he can send back a large amount of money every year, because it is his brother's hard-earned money, A-Niang is hard-hearted and refuses to lend the money for nothing, and the life of the family has gradually improved. ”

Later, the Red Guards became more and more rampant, and they were strict about everything, and my brother joined the army as soon as he was eighteen years old, and he participated in the Vietnam War when he was still a recruit. When I was ten years old, my aunt was seriously injured by a boulder, and I hung for half a month without waiting for my brother to come back from the battlefield, and I couldn't go with confidence. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoliang was a little stunned, Shen Chi's aunt had passed away? That so-called "mother-in-law"......

Shen Xiu didn't know what Lin Xiaoliang was thinking, and when she saw her face showing a different color, she whispered: "Sister-in-law, my brother is a soldier, and many things are involuntary. She was referring to Shen Chi's first day of marriage when he left Lin Xiaoliang at home because of an urgent task.

"And then?" Lin Xiaoliang lowered his eyes and asked.

"The next year, my father remarried Wang Zhaodi, and he also brought Shen Zhu, a drag oil bottle." After a pause, Shen Xiu gritted her teeth and said: "Wang Zhaodi, that woman is the most powerful, if it weren't for her brother's success in the army, how could she be willing to marry an honest farmer?" Daddy couldn't see this clearly, and he regarded her as a treasure. ”

"I didn't live for a few years, and last year my brother was sent to participate in the self-defense war because he was familiar with Vietnam, and when he came back, he was already a captain."

She looked hateful, "A-Niang passed away, and the money sent back by my brother before it went to my father's hands, but before my brother could settle down, Shen Zhu married his daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby. On the contrary, when her brother got married, Wang Zhaodi refused to pay a penny, and her father only smoked next to him. ”

"If you want me to say that my father is also a fool, because I was worried that my brother would die on the battlefield one day and no one would provide for him, I let my own son not hurt and held a foreign stepson to the sky."

Lin Xiaoliang digested the information in Shen Xiu's words, and after a long time, he hesitated: "Shen Zhu is not Shen Chi's own brother, and Shen Xiaobao is not Shen Chi's own nephew?" ”

When she asked such a question, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Reality is not a fairy tale, and the plot of the heroine and the son of the murderer will never come true. Not everyone can do this kind of thing.

Even if Wang Zhaodi and Shen Xiaobao did not cause irreparable pain to herself in this life, she could not easily say forgiveness.

"Of course not." Shen Xiu said harshly: "Shen Zhu looks like a lump of wood, the snot on Shen Xiaobao's face has never been wiped clean, where did you see that they are related to my brother?" ”

Lin Xiaoliang smiled, and his eyebrows softened.

Fortunately, the reality seems to be much better than she thought.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xiu, who originally regretted that she shouldn't have told her sister-in-law these things without her brother's consent, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt that she had done the right thing.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiao's good intentions, Shen Chi dried the bedding and wiped some dust from the corners again-I heard Xiu'er say that Wanwan loves cleanliness.

When Lin Xiaoliang and Shen Xiu came back, what they saw was such a brand-new ward.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen Chi with some surprise who was carrying a dustpan to go out, and Shen Xiu gave his brother a thumbs up without hesitation.

Facing his daughter-in-law's rare peaceful gaze, Shen Chi actually felt shy, the tips of his ears were slightly red, and he hurriedly said "I'll take out the garbage" and ran away.

Lin Xiaoliang thought it was funny, and Shen Xiu laughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist.

"Okay, don't laugh, be careful of your brother's accounting." Lin Xiaoliang knocked Shen Xiu's head with some tears and laughter.

"I don't want to laugh either, but I can't help it." Although he said this, Shen Xiu's voice gradually became quieter.

Lin Xiao was obedient but silent, but he thought in his heart that he didn't expect Shen Chi to have such a side.

By the time Shen Chi came back, the time for taking out the garbage ten times had passed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter-in-law and sister had nothing abnormal.

He has never been shocked, and it is rare to have the experience that he has always regarded as a "weak emotion", and his mood is not ordinary complex and ...... Awkward.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiao's rest, Shen Xiu pulled Shen Chi out, "Brother, I told my sister-in-law everything." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Chi didn't react for a while.

"The dowry and the family." Shen Xiu was a little weak-hearted.

"What do you say this is for?" Shen Chi was shocked when he heard this, and his tone could not hide his anger.

As soon as he heard this tone, Shen Xiu, who was still weak-hearted, also got angry, pushed him and said angrily: "What's wrong with what I said, otherwise you still plan to hide it from your sister-in-law all the time?" My sister-in-law has no affection for you, maybe she still has some resentment, this time it has been tossed like this, do you want to live with your sister-in-law? ”

"The culprit of this incident is Wang Zhaodi, if you don't make it clear, do you still want to help him carry the black pot?"

"That's not what it meant." Shen Chi sighed and said, "I didn't want to hide Wanwan all the time. "He is not a person who does good deeds without leaving a name, and he does not have the habit of swallowing blood in his stomach.

It's just that......

He reached out and touched Shen Xiu's head, "Your sister-in-law is not pregnant well now, saying these things will only make people think more, it is better to wait for her fetus to be stable." ”

He didn't say another point, although he didn't care, but he was in a hurry to marry Wanwan, and his actions were inevitably too impatient and a little inconsiderate. When welcoming relatives, coupled with Wang Zhaodi's stinky mouth, the people in the village must think that Wanwan was bought back by him with 3,000 yuan, although there are many similar things in the countryside, but Wanwan's reputation as a "future college student" is not small in ten miles and eight towns, and people will inevitably have some bad roots that are not good for others.

Wanwan's cleverness he never doubted, as long as he knew about the bride price, it was not difficult to guess this situation, the scholars are a little high-minded, this kind of insult is at most uncomfortable in ordinary people, but Wanwan may make people bad.

Now, he didn't dare take that risk.

It seems that he is going to step up the affairs of the army.

"Brother, are you stupid?" Shen Xiu was a little speechless when she heard this, and looked at Shen Chi with an incredulous expression: "Sister-in-law is in an unhappy mood now, why is she not good for you?" You want to make your sister-in-law's baby stable, don't you find yourself giving up your roots? Her brother has always been calm and calm, and it is the first time she has seen such a "stupid" look.

Shen Chi was originally a shrewd person, he was just concerned about it before, but if Shen Xiu had words, he was awakened in an instant.

Shen Xiu covered her face, "People say that they have been stupid for three years since they were pregnant, and my sister-in-law is not stupid, why are you stupid first, brother?" ”

"What do you say?" Shen Chi patted her head with some annoyance.

"It was." Shen Xiu pursed her lips, "Brother, you don't want to think about it, now that you are your sister-in-law's man, the people in her mother's family can't be relied on, won't you rely on your brother in the future?" As long as you are good, there is nothing bad about her. ”

"My sister-in-law didn't know anything before she married into our family, and she was mostly in a coma when I was at home, and I didn't have time to give her a review of the family's affairs.

She glared at Shen Chi and said, "I'll tell you brother, you can't just take your sister-in-law seriously because she will be bullied, and the matter of the little nephew, it's not that the sister-in-law is cowardly and timid, it's that Wang Zhaodi is too mean." ”

"Who did you listen to?" Shen Chi frowned.

Shen Xiu looked unhappy, "It's not Shen Xiaohua's big mouth." "It's useless to say that her sister-in-law can't even bear a child, it's a blessing.

Shen Xiaohua is a classmate of Xiu'er in the same village, and when she said such a thing, she must have learned it from the elders in the family.

Shen Chi's eyes quickly crossed a trace of understanding, and he seemed to be helpless: "Xiu'er doesn't believe her brother like this?" ”

He didn't have time to feel guilty about the child, so naturally he wouldn't blame Wanwan, people are inevitably timid in an unfamiliar environment, not to mention the tiger and wolf den that can't give people the slightest sense of security.

Shen Xiu didn't really believe in his brother, just to get a preventive shot just in case.

- My brother's IQ always seems to be at a normal level against my sister-in-law, and she inevitably has to worry about it.

"Okay, brother, the doctor said that it doesn't make a difference whether my sister-in-law's current situation is hospitalized or not, even if she is discharged, it doesn't matter, as long as you are careful, it will be fine, what are your plans?" Shen Xiu asked.

"Being able to be discharged from the hospital is naturally good to be discharged." Shen Chi said without hesitation: "Let's go to Grandpa and Grandma for two days first." ”

"It's okay, it's just that before you go back to the army, you must settle your sister-in-law well." Shen Xiu demanded.

Shen Chi's index finger was emphasized, and Shen Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "Who is the elder brother?" But he was very pleased in his heart, because of his sister's soft temperament, he was not less worried, he was afraid that she would suffer a loss in her mother-in-law's house after she went out.
