Chapter 1: A Piece of the Past
[In the past two days, I have cleaned up the house, but I have made Xiao Mo miserable, in other words, do you miss me? ] Hey, hey, hey~】
Lin Kailang's case finally ended with Huang Liwen's unreserved confession, Huang Liwen as she said, I'm afraid the only regret is that she was not able to take revenge on her ex-husband's family, she is not afraid of the trial she needs to face next, and even took the initiative to ask for strictness, quite a bit of just asking for death. According to her own words, in the past few years, she has been living in self-blame and pain, the only thing that supports her life is the idea and plan of revenge, now that she has taken revenge on Fan Jiying, and she has also been arrested, there is no possibility of continuing revenge, so living is just endless pain, and death is no longer a frightening thing for her, but a relief.
And when she heard that Lin Jie was already under review because of Zhang Shuying's report, and the crime reported by Zhang Shuying could be established, Huang Liwen seemed to be a lot happier again, for her, Lin Jie, who proposed to buy with money and help Fan Jiying clear his name, was also unforgivable, which is also a reason why she later chose to use ransom to tease Lin Jie, Huang Liwen hopes that Lin Jie can make a big mistake in this matter, so that he can realize that money cannot buy back a life.
Such a case was finally clear and clear, and they could be regarded as preventing the occurrence of another subsequent tragedy, which is also a gratifying thing to congratulate, but for a period of time after the case was solved, Du Juan was always affected by this case, and he was a little listless.
"You're not going to put yourself in some mess of characters to 'empathize', right?" After getting off work one day, the two of them inadvertently mentioned the progress of the case after Huang Liwen was handed over to the procuratorate, Tang Hongye soon found that Du Juan's mood was a little not high, "I can't guarantee anything else, as far as patriarchy is concerned, you really don't need to have any worries about the future in our family, if you talk about others, don't you know about our family?" This is also not allowed by law, otherwise I think it's really possible for the two of them to run away and get me to change a girl to raise! So you don't really need to worry about that. ”
"I'm not worried about this, where did you think of it!" Du Juan smiled a little helplessly, and shook his head at Tang Hongye, "I just thought of what happened to Huang Liwen, thinking about her situation at that time, and the simple trust in family affection when she made the decision, I didn't expect the selfish and ugly side of human nature, and the pain and remorse of her later, there is an indescribable feeling, and I don't know whether I sympathize with her more, or feel more fortunate for myself, and I am glad that I have a pair of very, very good parents." ”
"What do you mean by that?" When Tang Hongye heard this, he felt a little puzzled.
The cuckoo sighed and smiled bitterly: "The two of us have known each other for so many years, you can try to recall, how many times have you heard me mention the matter of my grandparents and relatives over there?" ”
Tang Hongye hadn't thought much about this issue originally, but now that Du Juan asked him like this, he thought about it and found that Du Juan really didn't seem to have mentioned anything related to Du's father's relatives. Originally, he thought that it might be that although the two of them have known each other for many years, after all, they are really together, and the time is not particularly long, so it has not reached the point where they can talk about things between relatives from time to time.
But since Du Juan said so, it means that the reason why she didn't mention those relatives was not because she was very unemotional when she talked about her boyfriend's shortcomings, but for some other reason.
"What's going on? Is it the experience of those people and your family that can remind you of Huang Liwen's in-laws? Tang Hongye took advantage of the situation to make the most reasonable association, but at the same time he felt a little incredible. He just heard that Cui Xiaoyu was so neglected by her grandparents that she lost her life, and after that, her grandparents and father could exchange her young life for a large sum of money without hesitation, they all felt that this thing sounded like a fantasy.
Now if he were to believe that Cuckoo had suffered a similar experience when he was a child, he would be shocked.
Fortunately, Du Juan shook his head: "It's not that serious, it's just that my grandparents are actually the kind of people who have patriarchal thinking in their bones, I don't have other uncles and uncles, among the children in my grandmother's family, my father is the only boy, although there is an aunt, but in the eyes of relatives over there, my father is considered a 'lone seedling', so they all hoped that my mother could give birth to a boy." It is said that when my mother was pregnant with me, she liked to eat small sour pears, many people said that sour men and spicy women, my mother's belly was a boy, and the more people said this, the more people said this, and some people looked at the shape of my mother's belly and said it was a boy, and looked at her walking posture also said that it was a boy, and even looked at her face and said it was a boy. ”
"This is also too funny," Tang Hongye couldn't help but laugh when he heard the people here, "My mother was just the opposite, she was not spicy or happy, but she didn't give birth to me!" Could it be that we both had the wrong baby? ”
"Yes, it's very unreliable, but many people are willing to believe it so much, to put it bluntly, it's just to conform to their own preferences and tendencies, my grandparents want to have a grandchild, so they try their best to find all kinds of signs to come to the conclusion that my mother's belly is a boy, and other relatives are nothing more than to do what they like, knowing that my grandparents are such an expectation, so I just said it and coaxed them to be happy." Cuckoo sighed, "So you just think about it, after more than half a year of this kind of self-hypnosis, when my mother really gave birth, it was me who gave birth, a girl who was fake, do you guess how my grandparents reacted?" ”
"I think...... Disappointed? Tang Hongye felt that this was the most intuitive reaction.
"It's a little more serious than the disappointment, they feel a little embarrassed. If they have been silently expecting to be a boy during this period, they may be disappointed in the end, but the surrounding relatives and neighbors are all speculating, and they have also generously accepted this kind of statement that makes them feel very flattering, but in the end, a girl was born, which in their opinion, is equivalent to making them lose face in front of relatives, friends and neighbors. Originally, my grandfather was looking forward to his grandson, and he booked a lot of tables in a nearby hotel, and waited for the guests to give birth to a big banquet, but he didn't expect to look forward to it, and finally gave birth to a granddaughter, and he called on the spot and returned the reserved banquet. ”
This is the first time Tang Hongye has heard Du Juan talk about this part of the past, and he can't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Seeing his stunned expression, Du Juan couldn't help but laugh: "You can be surprised, but you don't need to have that kind of pity in your surprise, I haven't been wronged by this since I was a child." ”
"Your grandparents...... They like boys so much, and they want grandchildren so much, don't they pay attention to you because you are a girl? Tang Hongye really hasn't dealt with Du Juan's grandparents, so he doesn't have any understanding of what kind of personality and what kind of behavior pattern those two old people are, and can only speculate according to the more common versions on weekdays.
"No, or should I say, there was at first, but I was very young at that time, and I couldn't remember anything at all, all the pressure and face were borne by my parents and the two of them." Du Juan sighed softly, "That's why when I think of Huang Liwen and Cui Xiaoyu, who has been dead for several years, I feel very embarrassed." At the beginning, my grandparents made it clear that they didn't like the result that my mother gave birth to a girl, so they were not very positive, and during the period when I was relatively young, I was always taken care of by my mother and my father, and my father shared a lot for my mother, and I didn't let my mother suffer any more grievances and tired because of my grandparents' ignorance.
When I was less than a year old, I had a high fever experience, it is said that the fever was very bad, it was a mess, at that time a relative of our family, I don't know what to think, fanned the flames in front of my grandparents and said something, my grandfather said to my father, this child should not look back and burn stupid again, or simply don't treat it, resign to fate, if it doesn't work, go back and give birth to another one. ”
When Tang Hongye heard this, he was taken aback: "What your grandfather said is too ruthless!" ”
"Yes, so my dad was in a hurry, he didn't say anything and slammed the door and left, and then of course I recovered without anything, but for a long time after that, my parents didn't have any contact with my grandparents, but they never mentioned these to me, when I was young, it was probably because of the lack of contacts, and I didn't know that my grandparents should always be close to me, so I didn't care very much, I just knew that my parents loved me very much, knew how to appreciate me, and affirmed me. So I was the kind of child with high self-confidence since I was a child, and I was not affected by the patriarchal thinking of the old man at all. Sometimes I think about it, if my parents had instilled in me every day that I must work hard and prove to others that I am no worse than a boy, then I would not be such a character and mentality now, let alone such a state of life. They always told me that it was enough for me to try to be the best for myself, and I didn't need to prove that I was good enough. ”
When Tang Hongye heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although he said that he was quite confident most of the time, but he didn't have to prove anything to others and concentrate on being his own realm, he really didn't reach it, otherwise he wouldn't have been awkward with Du Juan for several years because of his self-esteem.
"Uncle and aunt educated you very well, really!" He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
In fact, in daily life, he has not seen or heard of patriarchal families, most families are two models, one is that the child's parents also have the same kind of thinking as others, and the girl is reduced to a little weed that no one loves, and she has no care at all, and what she looks like depends on her own perseverance. The other is that parents also hate this kind of gender discrimination in the family, so they gamble on this breath, turning the child into a bet used to prove to others that they are right and they are wrong, which exerts great pressure on the child at the same time, it is also equivalent to planting a kind of inferiority in the guise of self-improvement deep in the child's heart.
After all, trying to prove one's worth to someone is itself tantamount to putting the other person in a position above oneself, and this unequal posture has already been lost from the beginning.
A truly confident person will not rely on anyone to prove it as hard as anyone else, in exchange for whose recognition and affirmation.
Du's father and Du's mother can be said to be a rare rational minority in the face of this matter, the two of them absorbed all the unhappiness caused by the old man's patriarchy, and did not release it on Du Juan's body at all, but like a barrier, the cuckoo was isolated from it, giving her a space to grow freely without burden, so it will form the character of Du Juan now, always know very well what he wants, and once he makes a decision, he will move forward bravely to implement it, and rarely look forward to the futureTimid.
"Yes, later my grandparents saw that I grew up day by day, and I was still more likable in all aspects, although they were more inclined to the former among boys and girls in their hearts, but in the case of no choice, a likable granddaughter was also a generational relationship that they couldn't resist, so later after I got older, they regretted what they did at the beginning, and admitted their mistakes to my parents, and they were very good to me." Du Juan sighed softly, "After knowing what happened to Huang Liwen this time, I realized how lucky I was, and I would feel even more sad about what happened to Huang Liwen and Cui Xiaoyu, and I couldn't help but think of many other things, so I felt a little upset." ”
"Something else? For example, what? What's going on? If there is anything you don't understand, just say it, and I'll help you analyze and analyze it together, maybe it'll be solved. Tang Hongye saw that Du Juan was finally going to talk about what she had been worried about during this period of time, and hurriedly pursued after the victory, trying to find out what the root of Du Juan's recent troubles was.
