Chapter 334: Distinguishing the Concept of Mother's Family
When Gu Yi heard this, his eyes turned red unconsciously.
"Sister-in-law, it's not easy for me either...... I used to rely on my eldest brother to support my family, but I didn't know that it was so difficult to support my family. I'm not afraid of things, it's that some things are really bad. Last year, my mother lost so much money in gambling, and her mother's family asked for money twice in three days. We've all saved ourselves...... But how dare I ignore it, don't I keep it in charge? β
Chen Xingling nodded understandingly, and said softly: "If you have something to discuss, don't quarrel at every turn." You talk to Xiao Xing well, and she understands you in her heart. β
"If she understood, she wouldn't have scolded me for having no conscience!" Gu Yi snorted coldly: "I also want to discuss it with her, but she won't give me a chance at all!" She split her head and said to go back together, I said no, the round-trip ticket was too expensive, she began to cry, and scolded me for not liking her mother's family! β
Zhao Xiaoxing shouted: "Could it be that I made a mistake?!" You don't do that? As soon as you talk about my mother's family now, you will be unhappy! Gu Yi, don't think I don't know! You just look down on me, look down on my mother's family! β
"Yes!" Gu Yi sneered: "I just look down on what's wrong?" I've been in the village before, and I've been there for more than two years! I know what life is like in the village. That's right, it's a little hard, but as long as you work hard, you can still fill your stomach. Many people in the mountains don't earn 10 yuan a year, and they rely on their own farming to live on their own. Before you got married, didn't your mother's family always live well? Why is it that as soon as you get married, your mother's family always has to spend all kinds of money - have you thought about it? β
Zhao Xiaoxing was stunned by the question, forgot to cry for a while, and sat in place.
Gu Yi sneered: "You didn't think about it!" Because you don't have a brain! A year ago, my sister-in-law went up the mountain with a lot of rice and bedding, plus a bride price of 200 yuan. Two hundred yuan is enough for many families in the mountains to spend a few years. But you've only been here with me for less than two months, and your family comes to ask for money almost every month, five, ten, and twenty yuan, and even your mother is sick. At the end of the year, he said that there was a shortage of food, and he still needed money. If all the money we send over is used to buy food, it will be enough for your mother's family to eat for several years! Have you thought about it? Yes? Have you thought about it carefully? β
Zhao Xiaoxing sat in place in a daze, blowing her head without saying a word.
Chen Xingling couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered: "Ah Yi, it's not easy for you, and it's not easy for Xiaoxing." β
Gu Yi's eyes turned red again, and he choked up: "Sister-in-law, I know...... I just know, so I keep pretending I don't know. Every time her mother's family came to ask for money, I said yes. If you don't believe me, you can ask her! But her mother's family is insatiable! I don't believe it costs more than 300 yuan a year! Where did all the money go?! As soon as we find something, we have to live, don't we? Could it be that if she marries me, I will have to be in charge of more than a dozen people in her mother's family all the time? Did she think about my stress? Considering how I feel, noβnever! β
Chen Xingling saw that the scene was a little out of control, and hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, okay, sit down and have a good chat." β
Gu Yi sniffed and rudely wiped his face with his sleeve.
"Sister-in-law, she was born and raised by her parents, and filial piety to the elderly should be. My eldest brother and you taught me that, and I've always remembered it in my heart. We are far away, so we can't visit more nearby, and we send money over for the New Year's holidays, so that the elderly can buy something to eat and warm new clothes to wear. I think it should be. If the elderly accidentally get sick or injured, we naturally have to pay for it, which is our responsibility as children, right? I think we should pay for it, we have to pay for it, but we can't blame the daughter and son-in-law for marrying, right? β
"Hmm." Chen Xingling nodded: "This is indeed the reason." If the elderly have no other children, the responsibility is on your shoulders. If not, then it shouldn't be up to you for everything. You also have your own little home to take care of, so you can only do what you can. β
Gu Yi was very grateful, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you and my brother are both scholars, and we understand the general situation and reason. What you said really speaks to my heart......"
Chen Xingling patted Zhao Xiaoxing's back beside him and said softly: "Xiaoxing, Ah Yi doesn't blame you, it's just that he has some complaints about you." Your mother's family broke his heart, and he didn't have a good seizure, so he could only sprinkle fire on you. He didn't do it right. But as an intermediary, you should grasp that scale, otherwise you will only be wronged inside and out, and you will be uncomfortable. β
Zhao Xiaoxing burst into tears and choked up: "I have to think about it...... Contact my mother. I told her that if I said it more seriously, she was my wife, and she wouldn't blame me too much. β
"Ask for clarity." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "If it is money that is urgently needed, you and Ah Yi will definitely have to work hard to make it together, and you can borrow it if you need to advance it." But some money that you don't need to pay shouldn't always be paid by you and Ah Yi. β
Zhao Xiaoxing nodded.
Chen Xingling whispered again: "Ah Yi is your husband, and he is the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life." You should also hurt him and coax him. Thinking about it, you want him to pay for it again, and you want him to do everything for your mother's family, why do you have to feel sorry for him a little, right? He has never been bad with you, and I see this. β
Zhao Xiaoxing quietly glanced at Gu Yi from the corner of her eyes, and her voice was crying.
"Sister-in-law, I ...... I'm sorry for him. I've been dragging him down. β
Chen Xingling patted the back of his hand and whispered: "It's not you, it's the mother's family behind you." You are married, and you are the water spilled by your mother's family. You have to be self-reliant, and you have to have a good relationship with Ah. Think about it, for you, he disobeyed the old mother of the family, worked hard to marry you, gave you enough dignity, and gave you marriage and commitment. Although he was young and impulsive, he never shirked the responsibility on his shoulders. You, occasionally, you have to feel sorry for him. β
Zhao Xiaoxing understood and nodded slightly.
Chen Xingling beckoned to Gu Yi and said, "I ran to the train station to buy a ticket at noon, I was already hungry, right?" Fast! Dali and Ah Xuan have left you so many meat skewers and cabbage, come and eat. Let's discuss while eating. β
Gu Yi was already so hungry that his front stomach was close to his back, so he squatted down and grabbed the skewers and gnawed hard.
Chen Xingling took a few strings and handed them to Zhao Xiaoxing.
Zhao Xiaoxing also devoured it.
Gu Xuan, who was on the side, was a little dumbfounded, and had to admire her sister-in-law's ability to "persuade" again.
Earlier, when she saw that the second brother was furious, the second sister-in-law cried and scolded, she thought that she might have to do a big job today, and she didn't know what to do.
But the sister-in-law didn't seem to say much, and then the second brother and sister-in-law calmed down, turned around and ate together.
I have to say, it's really amazing!
Chen Xingling thought for a while and asked, "Xiaoxing, do you have a phone on the other side of your village committee?" β
Zhao Xiaoxing shook her head and whispered: "There is a small post office more than ten kilometers away from our village, and there is a telephone in it. β
Chen Xingling said: "What is the specific situation at home, why did it cost so much money in the past year, and whether your father really fell and injured himself, and how serious the injury was, we must figure it out together." β
"Uh-huh." Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help nodding.
Gu Yi whispered: "Yes, yes." β
Chen Xingling continued: "Xiao Xing, these words are most appropriate to ask your old mother. Early tomorrow morning, Ah Yi will take you to call home, send the phone number of the logistics office in the factory, and ask your old mother to go to the post office in the morning to find a staff to help call, and Ah Yi will accompany you to the logistics office to wait. Remember, every question is asked one by one, and the answer must be asked. β
Zhao Xiaoxing was a little nervous, but still nodded.
Gu Yi swallowed a big mouthful of meat, and asked: "Sister-in-law, if someone takes care of the old father-in-law, the situation is not too serious, just say that we can't go back, because there is not much money around, and all of it will be sent over as medical expenses-don't you think?" β
"Done." Chen Xingling said: "That's it." β
Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, and asked hesitantly: "Sister-in-law, what if my mother said the money before...... It's all spent, I'm sure I'll say she...... But this time, if my dad is really hurt......"
"Send it when you need to." Chen Xingling said: "Whether they are wrong or not, they are all your parents. They gave birth to you and raised you, and you still have to fulfill your responsibilities as children. But you have to remember that you only have the responsibility of filial piety to your parents, not to everyone in your mother's family, understand? β
ββ¦β¦ Got it. Zhao Xiaoxing nodded in a low voice.
Gu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief on the side, and finally showed a smile.
