(seventy-five) The mother-in-law came
I couldn't find my mother-in-law, and everyone was anxious. Zhao Pang proposed to post search notices all over the streets and alleys; Zhang Yuling with a child, day and night, is indeed a little unbearable; My sister couldn't hold back for a long time, and scolded Zhang Yuling several times: "Mom is so decent, where will she go?" If she had three long and two short, then I wouldn't be alive! ”; My father-in-law stood aside, smoking a cigarette with his head down.
Everyone was exhausted, and the normal rhythm of life was disrupted. Zhao Pang took a day off to find his mother.
It's the third day, and it's still fruitless, and all the efforts are like sinking into the sea, without a single echo.
In exhaustion, my sister only fried a large plate of cabbage and shredded potatoes, and the family dealt with it like this. Everyone has no intention of eating.
Zhao Pang took a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth and said, "Xiaoling, don't quarrel with my mother in the future, if something happens to my mother, what should we do?" ”
Zhang Yuling wanted to ask him rhetorically - if it weren't for your mother's arrogance and unreasonableness, would I be arguing? But the current situation is that the mother-in-law ran away from home, and the fault party became Zhang Yuling. Zhang Yuling is speechless.
A meal, eaten tastelessly.
Just as everyone was about to eat and go out to look for it, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the house, it was the mother-in-law! Zhao Fat's eyes were sharp, and when he saw his mother coming back, he shed tears of joy, and quickly stepped forward and shouted excitedly: "Mom! You're back! ”
My sister also rushed forward and hugged her mother, crying in her voice: "Mom, where have you been?" We're all dying! ”
The father-in-law's tightly knit brows relaxed, and the gloom on his face dissipated: "It's good that you're back." ”
Zhang Yuling was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw her mother-in-law coming back unscathed, a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, knowing that this was her mother-in-law's bitter trick, so she shouted embarrassedly: "Mom, you're back." ”
The mother-in-law, wearing another set of new clothes, threw her bag on the sofa, sat on the sofa and said in a strange voice: "This is my house, why can't I come back?" ”
The mother-in-law looked at Zhang Yuling's embarrassed expression and knew that she had won another game - didn't you all say that it was my fault, and they all thought that I was making trouble, so I would simply disappear for a few days, let you taste what it was like to be without me, and see if there was no me, would the earth still turn the same? Can our family still live a good life?!
My sister couldn't hold back her temper for a long time, and when she saw her mother coming back safely, she was angry, and she was angry at Zhang Yuling: "Zhang Yulin, my mother is at fault, but then again, if a slap doesn't make a sound, don't you have any problems yourself?" People have to be self-aware, what do you say if something happens to my mother? ”
My sister still wanted to say, but Zhang Yuling felt that her mother-in-law's bitter plan was really effective, and she wanted to argue a few words, but her father-in-law had already spoken: "This matter is the main thing, let's go back to the room and rest, it's been tossing for three days, and everyone hasn't slept peacefully." ”
The words of the father-in-law are on the facts, there is no injustice, impartiality, so everyone disperses, Zhang Yuling looked at her mother-in-law with a reasonable look, and sighed - her own way is shallow, and she really doesn't know how to deal with such a mother-in-law who is perfect in drama and hard work.
The days returned to calm, and they returned to the trivialities of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Li Xiaocan had just gotten off work, looking at his mobile phone, and there was some confusion: "Decoration? Where did the money come from? "My mother-in-law just announced in the family group that she was going to renovate the house and bought a ticket for the return trip, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law went back to bring the baby back.
When Li Xiaocan heard it, this posture didn't look like a joke. More than a thousand kilometers, this is not a New Year's Day or a festival, usually come back all the way to decorate the house? Decoration, how can this be installed without hundreds of thousands?
Li Xiaocan is not good at asking her mother-in-law directly, her mother-in-law's style has always been that she is in charge and others obey, and she can't even ask at all.
So Li Xiaocan immediately called Zhang Gang: "Hey, Zhang Gang, my mother said that she wanted to decorate, do you know?" "Li Xiaocan's mind is confused, Zhang Gang is already in the family group, isn't this asking in vain?
Hearing Zhang Gang's "ah", he said something hesitantly, "I don't know, no one told me, what kind of decoration?" ”
"We don't have any money again, and my parents won the lottery ticket?" Li Xiaocan asked jokingly.
"I don't know, no one told me, they have their own calculations." Zhang Gang hurriedly said again, "I still have to hang up in advance, don't talk about it." ”
Li Xiaocan couldn't ask Zhang Gang why, but he just felt that his father-in-law's baby was brought back, it was too much of a toss, how many hours did the high-speed train go to the station? also has to reverse and turn around, the child may not be able to adapt, but it is not easy to have a seizure, and the travel expenses of her parents-in-law are not from Li Xiaocan, what qualifications does she have to take care of them? If the father-in-law and mother-in-law want to go back to their hometown to see, will Li Xiaocan still stop it? Anyway, she didn't have a penny of her own, and she couldn't afford to decorate.
Her salary was used to subsidize her mother's family, and on this day, Li Xiaocan returned to her hometown to see her parents, and a middle-aged man came to buy cigarettes and chatted about the local news: "Have you heard? We're going to build a high-speed rail here, passing through Xialin Village. ”
"Xialin Village", Li Xiaocan heard it, isn't this Zhang Gang's hometown? So I was interested, "What's going on?" ”
"You don't know yet, the people in this Xialin Village are going crazy, they are going to be demolished, and it is said that they can pay hundreds of thousands." The middle-aged man's eyes showed envy.
"Ah, really?" When Li Xiaocan heard it, isn't this pie in the sky? Is there such a good thing? Li Xiaocan usually doesn't even win the lottery when he buys drinks, will he wait for such a big happy event as demolition?
"Well, yes, it's the direction of the camphor tree foot facing south, and the two families next to the threshing floor are going to make a windfall, hey, why don't you repair it to our village?" The middle-aged man patted his thigh, his tone full of regret.
Li Xiaocan quickly searched in his mind next to the threshing floor at the foot of the camphor tree, isn't that Zhang Gang's house?
Zhang Gang and Zhang Gang's parents were far away, and Li Xiaocan didn't go back to her mother-in-law's house on weekends, but stayed at her parents' house and didn't know about these things at all.
Li Xiaocan continued to inquire with a few customers, and gradually understood. It was Zhang Gang and his uncle's brothers who were going to be demolished, and they were really more surprised than winning the lottery!
But why is it that she Li Xiaocan doesn't even know about such a big thing, the pie-in-the-sky tax didn't last long, Li Xiaocan fell into a kind of anger of distrust and exclusion, she picked up her mobile phone and pressed Zhang Gang's phone: "Hey, Zhang Gang, let's demolish it?" ”
Zhang Gang said "ah" again, "Oh, yes...... Wife, don't think about it......"
Li Xiaocan was furious, obviously Zhang Gang had already known, why didn't he say it last time he asked him, and he lied to me, I don't know! Without waiting for Zhang Gang to finish speaking, Li Xiaocan shouted: "Zhang Gang, why didn't you tell me?" Do you treat me like family? I was the last to know about such a big thing! ”
"Xiaocan, we are afraid that you will know that we will take the money to replace your brother and your mother's family." Zhang Gang was helpless and spit out the truth.
"Bah, what do you mean for me to take money to stick to my brother, I borrowed it, do you understand? It's not that you don't pay it back, you have calculated so clearly, do you treat me as a family? The demolition money is hidden from me, your Zhang family is really united and deceived me, a foreign daughter-in-law, right? ”
"Xiaocan, don't talk so ugly, okay? What is deception? Don't you want to decorate yourself? Didn't your name be written on this house, and it has been a year since the delivery of the house, but this blank is still placed there without decoration, what do you want to do? This money is still used in our family, and you also have a share, what is foreign? Zhang Gang argued.
Li Xiaocan only felt ridiculous: "Zhang Gang, it's okay for your parents to deceive me, but why are you like this?" I ask you, why do you say you don't know? You say, how much is the demolition money? ”
"Not much, 150,000." Zhang Gang replied.
The amount is not as rumored to be hundreds of thousands, after all, it is still rural, and a set of three-story small western-style buildings is worth more than 100,000 yuan. At the beginning, for the two of them to get married, the decoration cost about 100,000 yuan. However, if this small western-style building wants to be sold, it can't be sold for 150,000 yuan, because it is too remote.
"The decoration is enough, your Zhang family will really hide it, hide it from me today, maybe you will hide it from me tomorrow." Li Xiaocan still feels that she is being kept in the dark, and this feeling makes her feel that she is not trusted, that she is being excluded, and that she is uncomfortable all over her body.
"Xiaocan, if it weren't for you asking me for money again and again because of my brother's marriage, we wouldn't have hidden it from you, our little family is still unstable, you know?" Zhang Gang said, and then said calmly: "Xiaocan, I know that you are the most generous, so we also hope to live a good life by doing this, and when we have money, let's talk about helping others." My parents are also kind, don't blame them, I know you're the most reasonable wife in the world, oh yes, have you still eaten? ”
After Zhang Gang's sincere praise, his face turned red, and Li Xiaocan actually accepted their approach. In fact, even if they didn't tell themselves, in the end, the money was still used for decoration, but it was just one less avenue and didn't follow Li Xiaocan's procedures.
However, the next question really made Li Xiaocan's head big - his mother-in-law and the baby also came to Wuhan. I want to live with my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law again, Li Xiaocan's shadow from last time hasn't gone yet, and this time it's here again. I still have to get along day and night, I don't know what the quarrel will be!
This day has finally come. Mother-in-law and father-in-law will come to Wuhan with their children later. Li Xiaocan had already planned in his heart to take them shopping for clothes and take them out for a walk. Other daughters-in-law are good to their mother-in-law, and she doesn't want to be a bad daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law who is disliked, so she has to spend some money and buy a happy one, so that her mother-in-law's impression of her can be better, and it will be much easier to get along in the future.
