Chapter 650: Maternal Dignity (9)
"Why didn't you tell me?" Kou Xingyu also heard about this for the first time, and looked at his wife with a shocked face. took her hand and said distressedly, "Why don't you tell me?"
"What did I say? How can I say it? What can I do? What is the point except to add to your troubles?" Jiang Yan's face was full of grievances, and tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. Kou Xi's heart was panicked when she looked at it, not to mention Kou Xingyu, who had always respected her.
"What do I say? I said a lot of mistakes, I was already sick, and if I said something else, it was in front of your sister-in-law and your father, so it didn't mean that I was really in trouble. Jiang Yan wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "Those relatives who didn't come to your family, some brought food, and some brought money. Be polite to me in terms of courtesy. Some of your aunts even called me and said, 'Son, your mother is from the countryside and has no education, but she is honest and can work. If there is anything you don't like, don't take it to heart as a junior. Confinement is to suffer for a month, let your mother serve me well, and don't think about eating more and raising more. also said that if you don't have enough to eat, let your mother ask them, you're welcome. ’”
Jiang Yan said with teary eyes: "I am a daughter-in-law in the city, and I am still a literate doctor." Your mother is a rural old lady who does her duty. If there is a conflict between the two of us, it can only be that I, a daughter-in-law with a better background, look down on your mother, I don't look down on your mother, I dislike your mother, and I bully your mother. I don't have to say anything, all the faults are mine. How aggrieved your mother is, how pitiful your mother is. ”
Jiang Yan spread her hands outstretched, and while crying, she looked at the air in front of her blankly and said sadly: "What am I not satisfied with? What do I have to be wronged about? People have brought so many chickens, aren't they all raised for me? Isn't a chicken every day just oily, greasy, and tasteless? Why do others want to eat it yet, so I have to be picky? The stewed chicken is brought out and the soup is served to me first. Then I added salt and seasoning, and brought it to the table, and your family ate the meat deliciously. The essence is all here, what do I have to be wronged about?"
"I don't have milk, my child can only drink milk powder, it's my fault! My child was born with jaundice, it's my fault! I'm sick myself, I can't take care of my child day and night, it's my fault to do my duty as a mother!"
"I don't want your mother to open her clothes to observe my body anytime and anywhere, I don't want your nephew to drink my milk, I don't want to talk to my concubine close to her. It's all because I'm arrogant, I look down on people, and I don't treat my in-laws' family as my own. ”
If it weren't for Kou Xingyu's anger when he found the incense ash in the bottle, Jiang Yan would have to endure it even longer. Tang Jinzhi was repeatedly persuased, and Kou Xingyu personally sent her home out of concern for his daughter's safety. Even so, he was still labeled by the old man in the family as 'unfilial, married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother'.
The helplessness and grievances in this, Kou Xingyu felt more aggrieved than anyone else. It's obvious that it's the old man who did the wrong thing, but it seems that no one in the family thinks it's a big problem. On the contrary, I felt that this was Kou Xingyu's occupational disease, and it was just a big fuss.
Compared with the helplessness experienced by his wife in countless small details after being wronged in confinement, Kou Xingyu felt that this was nothing.
This experience in confinement was a thorn in Jiang Yan's heart for a long time. All the unhappiness can be uncovered lightly with just a sentence of 'others have come over like this'. But only the mother herself knows best how much damage this purgatory-like day will bring to herself.
Not all women feel that this is a grievance, and not all women feel that such concern is a mistake. After all, there are so many women who can maintain a normal heart and a grateful attitude after experiencing it. But people are different from people, and how to consider it depends on everyone's choice.
Kou Xi and Gu Shen silently left Kou Xingyu's home, leaving the husband and wife to talk and reveal their inner unhappiness.
"Don't you think it's exaggerated?" Kou Xi took Gu Shen's arm: "You shouldn't have imagined it." ”
As a man, of course, Gu Shen couldn't imagine that there were so many tricks in the contradictions between women. I didn't expect that confinement could make a person depressed.
"The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable!" Gu Shen scoffed, but he was still very sympathetic to Jiang Yan. He looked at Kou Xi distressedly: "Did you suffer a lot of grievances back then, trivial and not worth mentioning, so you are embarrassed to tell me?"
"There are a lot of trivial things to do. After a long time, you will realize that home is really not a reasonable place. Many times I have the mentality that I must be reasonable, and I think that reason is just right for me. But now it seems that ignoring it will win a moment of peace of mind. Kou Xi sneered: "Actually, I know Jiang Yan's situation very well, and it was the same when I married into your family. The new daughter-in-law lived with her in-laws at first, and at the beginning, the daughter-in-law was cautious, and the in-laws were very concerned and loving to the daughter-in-law for the sake of face. But as the days go by, there are more stumbles. ”
remembered getting along with Huo Dagui, Li Cuilian and a large family at her in-law's house in those years. It's as if it happened in the previous life, and many things are not remembered anymore.
"Is it that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world don't get along well?" Gu Shen asked a question that had not been answered for thousands of years.
"Let's hire someone, your second aunt is too confused, I'm not at ease. Gu Shen didn't want her to take some home remedies to secretly give the child food in the name of the child's good.
The two of them came out of Kou Xingyu's house and went to the entertainment city opened in the provincial capital. When I arrived at the entertainment city, I was greeted by the deafening sound of music. Hearing this, her heart was pounding, and the little person in her stomach kept tossing.
"Hey, ancestor, are you so excited?" Kou Xi frowned and touched his stomach. Gu Shen saw that Kou Xi was not very comfortable, so he hurriedly ordered someone to turn off the music.
When Aji saw Gu Shen and his family coming, he immediately beckoned the staff to work hard, and Ma Li had some eyes. And these staff members have never seen a real big boss, and they are all terrified.
Kou Xi was helped by Gu Shen to sit on the sofa, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Aji serving tea and pouring water: "You don't have to be so polite, we just came here for a stroll." Don't be nervous, it's like a review. ”
"I'm so scared when you come with such a big belly. If you have something to do, just let my brother come over, what are you doing here?" Aji looked nervous, and rubbed the clothes on his body helplessly: "Niu Niu has been doing well lately, and the store is also very good!"
