Chapter 26 Every Family Has a Difficult Sutra to Read
“...... That's right, it's better to be angry than to be angry. But it's good if you have the heart, and don't push yourself too hard. ”
Wen Xiu patted the back of Zhang Minzhen's hand and did not refute or echo. She knew in her heart that it was difficult to be a woman, especially a woman who was pulling a child alone. My daughter's idea is very good, and it's not a bad thing to have this energy in her heart to support her. It's a pity that it's not easy to realize. But her daughter is hard enough, and Wen Xiu doesn't want to hit her anymore.
Zhang Minzhen nodded, holding her breath in her heart and secretly made up her mind. If you are divorced, you must live better than before the divorce, and it will also make people take a look at his Gu family, even if you lose your job, you can live well.
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Wen Xiu asked as she walked to the small vegetable field and picked three red tomatoes, remembering that Gu Nuannuan likes to eat celery, and when she saw that the celery grew well, she leaned over and pinched a small handful of celery and said: "Although it is not a problem for you to live in your mother's house for as long as you want, but you are a girl after all, Nuan Nuan is surnamed Gu again, the old custom in the village, and the daughter does not follow the division of family property." So it's okay for you to live here for a short time, but after a long time, your sisters-in-law will definitely misunderstand, and it is possible to have a big conflict or even form an enmity when the time comes. If that's not what your dad and I want to see. ”
Zhang Minzhen bowed her head: "I never thought about living in my mother's house." ”
Wen Xiu paused: "Mom, it's not that I dislike you. ”
"I know. Mom, don't worry, I'm not so ignorant. ”
"It's also the Gu family's fault to say that you want to divorce, so we don't have a reason to just leave. It's a pity that the houses in the town have been built by your mother-in-law, and I will hang the houses you want to divide over there. It's a house in Ewha Village...... The Gu family is an outsider, and the house in Lihua Village is not an ancestral house, and now the house over there is still in the name of your husband and wife. In addition, your salary has been helping them pay off the debts of the Gu family's new house over the years, and this time it is the surname Gu who is at a loss...... So in my opinion, it's easier for you to just ask for a house in Ewha Village. ”
Zhang Minzhen nodded: "I have discussed this with Nuan Nuan along the way, and we also think that the house in Lihua Village is more reliable." It just so happens that the classmates in Nuan Nuan's class also have Lihua Village, and after living in Lihua Village, she is not afraid of going to school every day without a companion on the road. ”
When she went to the well, Zhang Minzhen wanted to put down her burden and help Wen Xiu wash the vegetables together, but she refused, "I don't need you." ”
Wen Xiu Lisuo's well water came up three or two times to wash the vegetables and send them into the kitchen, Zhang Minzhen put down the burden and took the initiative to make a fire, Wen Xiu lowered her head and thought about Zhang Minzhen's words, and did not delay the work in her hand at all, she chopped the tomatoes and put them in a bowl and sprinkled a small spoonful of salt into them, and then picked off the celery leaves and cut them into small pieces like green onions.
The pot is hot, the water vapor at the bottom of the pot is evaporated by the high temperature, Wen Xiu quickly put a little oil down, pour the chopped tomatoes and stir-fry for a while, and then add water. When the water boiled, she scooped up a small half bowl of flour mixed with water and stirred it into gnocchi, and took out six eggs.
As soon as the water boiled, Wen Xiu first rubbed the pimples, then stirred slightly, and then knocked the eggs one by one into the pot. Watch the eggs tumble in boiling water and finally lower the celery segments, turn off the heat, add vinegar and pepper, and the gnocchi soup is ready.
Wen Xiu was not busy putting the soup up, but nodded with satisfaction after tasting the taste before continuing: "Although Nuan Nuan has company on the way to school, it is still far away to live in Lihua Village, I am afraid that the children will not be able to stand it, and I am afraid that you are a woman alone and a child in the village and have summoned a lot of people in the village." Otherwise, it's not bad for you to think about getting a house in Lihua Village and then selling it, and then buying a house in the town, or simply going back to our Zhangjia Village to grant land to build a house. Like your dad, I'm still in favor of you coming back and building a house. Then you will be nearer to us, and we will be able to see you. You tell me? ”
"I'd like to, but I'm afraid it won't. Mom, I've only heard that countrymen can afford to go to the town to buy a house and turn their family's hukou into a town's hukou, and who has ever heard of someone who goes to the countryside to buy a house and turns themselves back into a countryman? Me and Nuan Nuan are a last resort. ”
Zhang Minzhen shook her head helplessly: "The Gu family's house in Lihua Village was already dilapidated, if it was so good to sell, Gu Lihui wouldn't have forced me to buy the dowry money." Over the years, no one has lived in it and no one has maintained it, and I'm afraid that it is even more broken, and whether it can live in it is a problem. ”
"After all, she was eyeing your dowry money in the first place." Wen Xiu is still angry when she says it, and then she has to admit that what her daughter said is right, and she became frustrated, "Originally, I thought that if you took the house in Lihua Village and sold it, I and your father still have some private money, and we will subsidize you to buy a house in the town, and it doesn't need to be big, so you can live in your mother and daughter, and it is also a good choice to come back to the village to build a house......
"I lived in Lihua Village, and the village cadres there were very good, and the atmosphere inside was also very good, and there were not so many messy things like some villages."
Zhang Minzhen calmly analyzed with Wen Xiu: "Besides, it is not realistic for us to go to the town to buy a house, it is too expensive, and a small room is enough to build three or five rooms in the countryside." It's cheaper to build your own house, but don't think about it, how can you easily get a homestead in the town now?
If I want to go back here and build a house, I'd like to, but how convenient is it to go to school? There is also a primary school in the village, but what about the junior high school at that time? Besides, how does the primary school in the village compare with the one in the town? So after all the calculations, I still think that going to Ewha Village is the most suitable for us. ”
“......”
Wen Xiu was silent for a long time, and then gloomily: "Alas, I'm afraid it can only be like this for the time being, and it's all because I don't have the ability to do it with your father." ”
"Mom, don't think so. Even if you really want to make up for me, I don't dare to ask for it. Originally, you and Dad were already good enough to me, enough to be secretly dissatisfied by your sister-in-law, if you knew that you would make up for me, wouldn't it be more restless to make the house? ”
Zhang Minzhen smiled bitterly, Wen Xiu's brows also furrowed, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and a feeling of powerlessness came to their hearts. Speaking of which, there is still no money to make trouble, and if there is money, everything will be solved.
Zhang Minzhen knows that her mother's family, in addition to her parents, that is, the eldest brother, treats her as a sister very well, but the age difference between the brother and sister is too much, and they can't play together at all, so they are not so close.
And the other two brothers don't mention it, anyway, since they were children, they have been dissatisfied with their parents' partiality to themselves, they don't talk about brother and sister love to themselves, and when they were young, they even secretly bullied themselves behind their backs, and they didn't take food from their own hands.
She was afraid that her parents would hide it from them if they found out.
