In the evening, in a small courtyard deep in the alley in the north of the city, Chen Jingru in the kitchen carefully smoothed the sorghum noodles on the small bowl.

Next to her, her mother, Mrs. Chen, sat down in front of the stove to light the fire, and sighed when she saw this, "Put more, wait for Xiaohui to come over, don't starve the child." ”

Chen Jingru nodded lightly, but the movements in his hands remained unchanged.

"Xiaoru, what are you going to do? It's really gone, and the future will not be easy. How long can that dead old woman live, survive her, and your life will be better. ”

Chen Jingru put down the hand of the small bowl and paused, looked at her mother guiltily, and closed her mouth tightly.

"Forget it, I can't care about you, and I won't listen to what I say. The neighbors envy you, but who knows that you are the most unsatisfactory at home. I knew that I wouldn't be allowed to marry the Lin family back then......

As for you, you just don't obey, you are good in college, why do you go to a far place. You see, if you didn't know Xiao Lin, you wouldn't have to suffer for so many years......

This will make your niece say that she won't go to school, and I will quickly ask your second sister-in-law to agree. If you read too much of this book, you will be stupid, what kind of school, it is better to go to work early to make money......

This woman can't compare with a man......"

Chen Jingru listened to her mother's chatter, and her thoughts followed her words, and the past was imprinted in her mind one by one.

Alas...... What's the use of thinking about these. She shook her head vigorously and took out the dried wild vegetables and chopped them finely. Thinking of the family eating porridge again tonight, I can't help but worry about what to do if my son is hungry?

“…… Linzi, this kid doesn't know what to do. Originally, she was not close to us, so she would have no food stamps to send it, and she would hate us even more. ”

Chen Jingru frowned and said in a low voice: "Don't mention this child at home, the sisters-in-law don't want to hear it." I've sent it to her, and I can't starve her. ”

Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter's face and pondered, "Don't hate your sisters-in-law." Linzi, the child was brought by her grandmother and is not close to our family, and this will cost another fifty catties of food stamps. Don't blame your sister-in-law for being unhappy. You see how close they treat Xiaohui, but they are not patriarchal. ”

"I know. I didn't raise my children well, so why do I blame my sister-in-law. ”

"That's good. It's not easy for everyone to live, not to mention now, even in previous years, our family couldn't move so many food stamps, that is, your eldest brother was promoted last year, and the family had a better life. ”

Chen Jingru was sad and funny when she heard it. What kind of official can a factory manager be? She also knew that her mother couldn't read a word, and she didn't explain.

Mrs. Chen said so much, and she felt that she had said almost the same. As long as the daughter can understand the difficulties at home, don't blame their mother's family.

Seriously, let alone her daughter-in-law, she doesn't want her grandchildren to associate with that granddaughter. It doesn't matter if you usually look down on your family and talk weirdly, who in the family cares about a child. But even if you hurt people, then you can't do it, how ruthless your heart is.

Fortunately, his grandson didn't have anything to do with this child, otherwise he wouldn't have known if he was killed. As long as she thinks of this granddaughter's temperament, Mrs. Chen can't wait for her to stay in the northwest and not come back, otherwise, her eldest grandson may have an accident. Why did this kid harm his own cousin? It's not that she hates others who are better off than her. The eldest grandson is doing well, but doesn't it make her uncomfortable?

Mrs. Chen's thoughts, Chen Jingru didn't know, but she also knew that her mother's family was disgusted and embarrassed, and no one wanted to mention it. She lifted the lid of the pot, saw that the water was boiling, and quickly poured in the wild vegetables.

"Kobayashi is here? Don't bring anything with you. How is my father-in-law? ”

"My dad was going to come to see you, but I stopped him. Recently, he just caught a cold, and you two will get together again after a while. ”

"This man can't move like an old machine when he's old. No, it's not as good as the old machine, the big guy can repair it, but this person, he can't fix it......"

In the kitchen, Mrs. Chen pouted when she heard the conversation between her wife and her son-in-law outside. What is there to be happy about this dead old man? As far as his Lin family is precious, he still has a cold, and he has a big fart, who doesn't have a headache and fever in winter?

But after looking at her daughter, she still stood up and took the rice spoon, "You better go out." Your dad doesn't have to shout at you in a loud voice for a while. ”

Chen Jingru was pushed aside by her mother, and she still stood there.

"Don't be stubborn, husband and wife are still the same match. Your father won't let you separate, you have stopped thinking about it. Listen to the old man laughing like a fool. Gee... I really haven't seen my son-in-law in eight lifetimes. ”

"Xiaoru, quickly take a few bowls out, let your mother do the work at home, do you hear?"

Mrs. Chen raised the rice spoon and waved it fiercely, "Listen, this dead old man will not change his urine for the rest of his life - let me do any job." One day, the old lady didn't cook and let him drink the northwest wind. I think I'll make peace with your father first. With this man, it is considered a bad life. ”

Seeing this, Chen Jingru pursed his lips and smiled, turned around and took two bowls and chopsticks out of the kitchen.

When Old Man Chen saw his daughter come out, he smiled happily.

Turning his head to Lin Aiguo to the side, he showed off, "This kid is filial, and he keeps busy ...... when he comes over."

"Dad, you drink." Chen Jingru opened the lunch box and saw that it was pork head meat, and the other was full of shredded cabbage and meat, and she couldn't tell what it tasted in her heart—her son hadn't tasted it for a long time.

I wanted to keep half of it for my son, but after hesitating for a while, I finally gave up this thought.

"Come over later, Xiaohui will come over, and after dinner, your family will go back early. Xiaoru, my father won't keep you, and the family rations are not enough, so you should go back. ”

Old man Chen and his son-in-law drank a few sips of wine, and when they saw that the two had not communicated, they were anxious. He spoke decisively, these two were too inkblotted. If you want to fight when you go home, you have to fight him, and if you do, you have to give him a good life.

How rare it is to want to get a divorce! This stupid daughter has been widowed for so many years, and finally her son-in-law came back, who allowed her to divorce? The son-in-law has come so many times, it's almost over.

"Dad, it's all my fault. Xiaoru, go home, everything is messy without you at home. If you are angry, send it at me, don't keep silent. You don't say, how do I know what to change? ”

Chen Jingru glanced at him and turned back to his room. She wouldn't even want to go to the kitchen, so she wouldn't have to talk about it again.

There were two wooden beds next to each other in the small room, and it was difficult to even turn around. It's just that the two nieces slept together, leaving a bed for themselves. Thinking of this, Chen Jingru stood at the door, a little distracted.

She really can't stay any longer!

Old man Chen saw that his daughter was leaving without saying a word, patted his son-in-law's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "My daughter-in-law hurts herself, this person is still a daughter-in-law when she is old." Go back this time and live a good life, and when Xiaohui comes back later, I will definitely think of letting her go back. There is no one who doesn't make a few words when they live a life, the key is not to chill each other's hearts. This man's heart was broken, and it was too late to say anything. ”

After speaking, Old Man Chen took a sip of wine, glanced at his silent son-in-law, and continued.

"It's not me who is an old man who praises his daughter. In the early years, how many people asked her to remarry, she disagreed. At that time, Xiaohui hadn't gone to school yet, and someone took a fancy to her, and people handed over many good words. As for her, she said that she never thought about her family in her life, and she had to support the elderly for you. I've been with your parents all the time. ”

For this, Old Man Chen felt sad when he thought about it. He knew that his mother-in-law had a high vision and couldn't look down on his family. So except for the necessary favors, I never let my family go to the Lin family.

My daughter is stubborn, and I don't know how many grievances she has suffered in her in-law's family.

"Dad, I know that Xiaoru has not had an easy time these years. She took my share of responsibility. It's me who is sorry for her for making her suffer all the time. ”

Old man Chen waved his hand. This son-in-law said that he could speak, but what he wanted to say has always been done, and his girl will finally wait for the man to come back, and will she still make a divorce?

He didn't bother to talk about it, but his poor grandson still had to have a father.

"Xiaohui, this kid has always had a hard time. He was about five or six years old, and a little one told his mother that others scolded him for being a wild child without a father.

Don't look at the child as indifferent to you, but he wants to kiss you. As for you, spend more time with your children. It won't take a few years for him to work, and then you won't have time to talk to your son. ”

After Lao Chen Tou finished speaking, seeing his son-in-law's thoughtful expression, he didn't want to say more. It is impossible to say how satisfied you are with this son-in-law. If it weren't for his daughter, he wouldn't want to deal with this son-in-law. came back alive for so long, except for the New Year's holidays, I didn't see him go to his own door a few times.

When it came to dinner, the Chen family and Lin Dinghui came back one after another.

After dinner, Lin Dinghui leaned back in a chair with a book, and occasionally glanced at his father, who was chatting with several uncles. Then he continued to look down at the book.

Seeing that it was not early, Lao Chen asked his wife to pack his girl's luggage and call out his daughter. He didn't say anything, he directly took the bag and handed it to his eldest grandson, pushed the family out of the door, and waved them back.

Looking at his sister's family who left, the eldest of the Chen family said uneasily: "Dad, will my little sister go to live in someone else's house?" If the little sister is really not happy to live, let her go. She has a job and a son, what are she afraid of. ”

The youngest son of the Chen family said approvingly: "Dad didn't do a good job. If Xiaohui's grandfather didn't come to the door, he shouldn't let Xiaomei follow her brother-in-law home. ”

Old Chen Tou glared at them, "Don't say anything about what you don't have." How many times has your brother-in-law been here? I really want your eldest sister to live alone for the rest of her life. ”

The youngest son of the Chen family said unhappily: "I just came here now, what are you doing earlier?" ”

The eldest son of the Chen family saw that his old father was so angry that his eyes widened, and he slapped his younger brother, "It's almost there." Want outsiders to see the joke? Fast in. ”

When the family entered the house, Old Man Chen stood still uneasy. Even when it was dark and he could no longer see the front, he still looked ahead.

When his youngest son said this, he didn't know what he was doing right or wrong, and he only hoped that his son-in-law would listen to him and treat his girl and grandson well.

After a while, Old Man Chen saw that his daughter didn't ask to stay for a few days every time she went back to her parents' house, and his grandson also said that his mother was doing well, which reassured him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But what Lao Chen didn't know was that with Mrs. Lin's mother-in-law, it was impossible for his daughter to live a stop living.

Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been disagreeing, and it is still a war, or a protracted war. Who loses and who wins depends on the attitude of the man who is sandwiched between the two.

Who knows in the future, everyone has a path she should take.
