Chapter 017: What is Marriage (5)
"Did he tell you that Zhao Yang was going to Zhanjiang? He didn't do a good job in Songxian, why did he suddenly want to go to Zhanjiang? Did you quarrel with him? ”
Faced with the groundless accusations made by the child's grandfather Zhao Guangwu on the phone, Nan Sheng really couldn't cry or laugh. After all, Weng's daughter-in-law is a family, and she doesn't want to have any disputes with the old man at this time. Putting up with it, she tried to say in a seemingly peaceful voice, "He didn't tell me anything. ”
"You are her daughter-in-law, why wouldn't he tell you?" Zhao Guangwu raised his voice.
"Soon it won't be." Nan Sheng looked at the child who was still sleeping, lowered his voice, and went to the living room with his hand half-covering his mobile phone.
"What do you mean it's not going to be soon? Are you having trouble with Zhao Yang? ”
"You're wrong, it's not that I'm having trouble with your son, it's that your son is going to divorce me."
"Divorce? What kind of divorce did you have with him? Did you mess with him? ”
"Why did I mess with him and not him? Why do you think it's my fault when there is a problem between us as a couple? ”
"Of course you provoked him, how could he mess with you by working so hard outside?"
"Yes, your old man is right, but I want to ask you, he is hundreds of miles away from home, how did I provoke him? The two places are separated, and he can't stand me, and I can't rely on him. ”
"Isn't he helpless? As a daughter-in-law, you should care more about him, be considerate of him, think more about him, and don't think about making trouble for him all day long. ”
"I'll make it clear to you, it's not that I'm blocking him, it's that he's looking for another woman outside, and it's he who wants to divorce me." Nan Sheng was patient: "It's your son Zhao Yang who likes the new and hates the old, and wants to abandon his wife and children." ”
"Did he really find another woman? Is it a tall woman, not very white-looking, with a dark face, but with big eyes and a chubby body? Zhao Guangwu asked directly without even the slightest hesitation.
Nan Sheng clenched his mobile phone all of a sudden, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
"Have you seen Julie?"
"I don't know what her name is." Zhao Guangwu explained: "The last time he broke a motorcycle fracture, didn't I go to Song County." As soon as I entered the room, I saw this woman sitting in front of his bed. I asked Zhao Yang who it was, and he said that it was his colleague who was sent by the hospital leaders to take care of him. I felt that something was wrong at the time, because the woman was very warm to me, and since I met me, my uncle was long, and my uncle kept screaming. I stayed there for two days, and the woman ran to Zhao Yang's hospital room countless times, and every time she talked to Zhao Yang, she looked like she wanted to talk and stopped. Later, I was driven back by Zhao Yang. I figured they thought I was in the way of staying there. ”
"Why don't you say that? Why didn't you tell me at the time? ”
"How did I know they were really in trouble!" Zhao Guangwu pulled his throat: "I also persuaded Zhao Yang to come at the time, saying that he should work outside and don't mess up those messy things." As a result, he was stunned and didn't listen to a word. Nansheng, don't worry, Dad is in charge of this matter. ”
"Zhao Yang, what did he tell you?"
"He didn't say anything to me, just said that he didn't want to work in Songxian anymore, and said that he wanted to go to Zhanjiang to have a look. He said that he was going to relax, but listening to the meaning of his words, nine times out of ten, he found a job over there, and he went to talk about work. ”
"Talking about work?" Nan Sheng's heart was cold: "Then did he tell you what would happen if the work was negotiated?" ”
"Listen to him, I think I'll be over there for a while."
"I see." Nan Sheng sat on the sofa weakly: "Do you have anything else?" If not, I hung up first, and the child woke up. ”
"Don't worry, let me discuss Zhao Yang's matter with his mother. Don't worry, we still have two children here, and I won't allow him to do anything outside. If you get married, as long as you say that I won't leave, he won't dare to divorce you. ”
If other old people said this, Nan Sheng was convinced, but if these words came out of the mouth of the child's grandfather Zhao Guangwu, Nan Sheng would only laugh.
The first time I met Zhao Guangwu was in my senior year of high school.
Late at night, Nan Sheng followed Zhao Yang out of Yancheng Railway Station. As soon as he came down the steps, he saw Zhao Yang pointing to a person and saying, "That's my dad!" ”
Nan Sheng looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a tricycle. is not tall, he is quite kind, and he speaks and does things in a somewhat contemptuous manner, but it is harmless.
The second time I saw him, when Nan Sheng was discussing his engagement with Zhao Yang, according to the customs of Yancheng's hometown, the newlyweds had to get engaged first and then get a marriage certificate. When engaged, the man has to give the engagement according to folk customs, which is probably gold and silver jewelry plus a few thousand yuan.
Nan Sheng didn't know if it was instructed by Zhao Yang's parents, in short, what Zhao Yang told her was that they had few relatives, and this engagement ceremony could be saved. Although the ceremony is omitted, the gift that should be given is still given, and let Nansheng ask his parents for their opinions.
Nan Sheng was reluctant to embarrass Zhao Yang, so he persuaded his parents to save the engagement gift, as for when the Zhao family's gift would be sent, Zhao Yang didn't say, and Nan Sheng was embarrassed to ask.
A few days later, Zhao Guangwu suddenly appeared outside Nan Sheng's house, saying that he was in accordance with the rules to meet the eight characters of his birthday. After sitting down and gossiping for a while, he took out a red cloth bag that he had brought with him.
The red cloth bag contained 800 yuan and a pair of very small gold earrings, and when Nan Sheng saw those things, he immediately understood that the 800 yuan and the pair of small earrings were the engagement given by the Zhao family to the Nan family.
Nan Sheng looked at her parents with some embarrassment, but saw that her parents' expressions were more tangled than hers.
When someone else gets engaged, it's either one out of a thousand or one out of a thousand, but her future father-in-law took out 800 yuan, what does this 800 yuan mean?
It is true that the Zhao family is marrying a daughter-in-law for the first time, but it is not the first time to have a happy event. Zhao Yang also has a sister who is five years older than him named Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning came out of the cabinet five years ago, and when they got engaged, the Zhao family and his wife got 11,000 yuan. The reason why Nan Sheng didn't mention it was because he thought that the Zhao family only had a son like Zhao Yang, and he had done things, no matter how difficult the economy was, he could make up a thousand one.
But he only took 800 pieces of gold and a pair of gold ornaments that could only be worn on the ears of children.
Facing the things handed over by Zhao Guangwu, Nan Sheng's parents didn't pick it up, and it didn't take it, the two couples, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to open this mouth with this future in-law.
After a moment of stalemate, Zhao Guangwu smiled and put the red cloth bag and the eight hundred yuan on the stool beside him.
"That...... We only have one son, Zhao Yang, and the future of our struggle is not left to the two of them. In-laws, don't worry, when Nan Sheng enters the door, we will definitely be reluctant to let her be wronged. This money should be used on the blade, let's try to make the wedding lively. As for this gold and silver jewelry, I won't tell you, my mother, that is, Zhao Yang's grandmother, has accumulated a box. ”
Zhao Guangwu gestured with his hand: "My mother said, that box of gold and silver jewelry will belong to her after Nansheng enters the door." ”
