Chapter 62: What should be given is still giving
I don't know when Zhao Huiying sneaked to the northernmost part of the village to take a look at Mei Zhijun's house, anyway, in the second month after Mei Zhijun's three small earthen houses were built, Zhao Huiying said in an extremely contemptuous tone, "It's not as spacious as my pigsty, and I'm embarrassed to say that it's a new house!" ”
When these words reached the ears of Mei Zhijun and She Yufen, the two of them became angry on the spot.
Mei Zhijun's first reaction was to settle accounts with Zhao Huiying, but She Yufen's first reaction was to work hard and vowed to become the most prosperous household in Taizi Village.
In the end, Mei Zhijun was persuaded by She Yufen, and the two began to work hard year after year and save money desperately.
What they didn't know was that Mei Yali actually didn't plan to let them build a house in Taizi Village at all.
In Mei Yali's last life, her parents spent tens of thousands of dollars to build a house that was even more magnificent than the township government of their Heigang Township.
However, less than two years after they moved into the new house, Taizi Village began to experience natural disasters for many years.
First, the hailstorm that ruined the farmers' hard work for a year, and then two consecutive years of drought forced many villagers in Taizi Village to leave their hometowns and go out to earn a living.
Of course, Mei Zhijun and She Yufen were not willing to sit and eat empty, so, under the guidance of She Yujie, the couple went to Z City in the south to work.
Since then, they have never returned to Taizi Village, and their new house was eventually sold for 20,000 yuan after being shelved for about ten years.
Mei Yali would not let her parents do a loss-making business again, and the reason why she did not rush to persuade them was because she didn't want to behave too out of line, and on the other hand, because she privately felt that it seemed good to let her parents have a goal that they could work towards.
Anyway, in her last life, her family only started to build a house when she was ten years old, and at that time, her parents still asked her uncle to borrow 10,000 yuan to build the house.
She had already thought that in this life, she would persuade them to go to the city to buy a house when they really had the idea of building a house.
At that time, she must have been a few years older, and speaking in front of her parents naturally carried a much heavier weight than she did now.
In the evening, Mei Zhijun drove a tricycle back to Taizi Village.
Most of the apples he brought for sale were successfully sold by him, and the remaining small part was divided into two parts by him and given to Old Man She's family and She Fenggang's family.
She Fenggang complained a lot about this, in his opinion, Mei Zhijun, as his aunt, should be able to deal with him and his eldest son if he has any good things, instead of always making up for his eccentric father and his younger brother's two children.
What kind of equalization is made between the brother-in-law and the brother-in-law, the father-in-law and the father-in-law, this is clearly a broken brain.
He didn't dare to blatantly instigate Mei Zhijun not to be filial to Old Man She and Old Lady She, so he could only talk to the two children of She Fengshu (She Fenggang's younger brother).
"Dad told me not to send so many apples to my grandfather's house." After putting the grain back into the granary, Mei Zhijun whispered a small report to She Yufen, "He said that grandpa and grandma are old, and their teeth and mouths are not good, and they can't eat this kind of hard stuff. ”
She Yufen rolled her eyes, "Don't listen to him, what should you do." If it weren't for my grandfather's help over the years, would we have been able to live so quickly? Whether he can eat milk or not is the same thing, we still have to give what we should give. ”
Mei Zhijun smiled, "I think so too." Grandpa is in his seventies, and he still helps us work every year, if I can't even give up something, will I still call someone? ”
"Then let's send more things to my grandfather and grandma in the future, and I don't care about any New Year's festival or festival, just pick the easy-to-measure, nutritious pastries, candies or something." Mei Yali said as she poked her head out of the corner of the rabbit on the side, "Mom, you help my grandfather and grandmother make a few clothes and shoes every year, the last time I went to my grandmother's house, my grandmother said that my grandmother's eyes can no longer do any needlework." ”
Whether it is Mei Yali's previous life or this life, their family has not been less foiled by She Yufen's grandparents.
That old couple is really a typical farmer who lives to death and works to death.
They are diligent and kind, warm-hearted, and devoted to their children and grandchildren, and they are the model elders of She Fenggang's selfish ghosts.
However, in Mei Yali's previous life, she and her parents and younger brother did not even be able to give back to these two respectable and lovely elders.
Mei Zhijun and She Yufen went south to work, took away the relatively young Mei Hongwen, who Zhao Huiying looked down on in every way, and left Mei Yali, who was the most popular among Zhao Huiying and older among the grandchildren.
When Old Man She died, Mei Yali was only thirteen years old.
At that time, she was staying at Zhao Huiying's house, and She Fenggang and She Yuguo didn't want to invite Zhao Huiying to attend Old Man She's funeral, so even Mei Yali ignored the past.
In addition, the transportation mode at that time was still relatively backward, and She Yufen and others, who were in the southernmost part of China, were too late to come back to attend Old Man She's funeral.
As a result, none of She Yufen's family appeared at Old Man She's funeral.
It wasn't until about half a month after Old Man She passed away that Mei Yali, who got the news from her neighbors, hurriedly went to Majia Village.
Because of this matter, Zhao Huiying poked Mei Yali's heart with a lot of words, but She Fenggang and She Yuguo, who knew that they were wrong, rarely let go of the stinky shelf in the past, and did not embarrass her with a lofty posture.
For the first time in her life, She Fenggang smiled and took the initiative to go down to the courtyard to greet her.
But at that time, Mei Yali hated them so much, how could she let go of their knots because they showed favor a little?
She didn't care about Zhao Huiying's cynicism, she had long been accustomed to Zhao Huiying's virtue.
Whether it is the living expenses left by the brazen and justified Hua Mei Zhijun to Mei Yali, or the angry one who makes fun of her and scolds her for a day or two, or uses clumsy and simple methods to sow discord, trying to alienate Mei Yali from Mei Zhiqing and his wife, who take care of her a lot, and even after the provocation fails, he pinches other reasons to beat and scold Mei Yali, and threatens to let Mei Yali get out.
After all these things that would have made her feel angry and humiliated, she has learned how to protect herself from harm in the midst of Zhao Huiying's greed, shamelessness, and her perverted desire to control.
Under the banner of studying, she stayed in the school dormitory as much as possible every weekend, and when she didn't meet Zhao Huiying, she couldn't avoid it, so she learned Mei Jinfeng to grit her teeth and endure it.
As for why she didn't go to Majia Village, it was because She Fenggang's attitude towards her was no different from Zhao Huiying.
Although he will not use foul language to scold people like Zhao Huiying, the words he says and the things he does have the same lethality to pierce people's hearts.
