Chapter 4: Preference for Sons over Daughters (4)
"It's just a cold, what's the matter, you still have to wait for the whole family? When I came back from work, my house was all dark and I didn't cook, so what did I want to do? ”
The more Chen Jinhua spoke, the more she felt that she was reasonable, and she looked at Xu Lan fiercely with a ruthless look on her face.
Xu Lan was so embarrassed in front of a large family, and she wanted to die.
When Su Tian saw it, she immediately cried loudly again.
"Dad, it hurts."
Su Tian did hurt, although she was lying on the ground, but she was taken out of bed at that time, her back hit the edge of the bed, and then she rolled off the bed.
Su Tian's cry can be regarded as a magic sound.
Su Qin rolled up the clothes on Su Tian's back, and saw a shocking red mark.
Children have tender skin, and this knock will definitely leave traces.
Su Tian did feel the pain, so she cried out.
And even if there are no traces, if you send them to the health center, you just say that your back hurts, and people will think that they have fallen, what else can they do?
After all, the medical standard in this era is still relatively backward.
Seeing the red patch on Su Tian's back, Xu Lan couldn't hold back any longer, the previous shame and the anger of her daughter being hurt made her explode.
She cried and said: "Mother, I work all year round, work, even if there is no work in the field, I will go to work, I cook the meals every day, I ask myself to be diligent enough." ”
"How can the whole family be so sweet and starved like this?"
"Today Tian Tian fever, malnutrition, hunger fainted, we came back, but the family didn't even leave us a bite to eat, Tian Tian fever and sleepiness, I ran around all day, and I was tired, so I thought about accompanying Tian Tian's eyes, I didn't expect to sleep late."
"My mother is indiscriminate, she pulled me when she came up, and almost pulled me to the ground, or hit my head on the ground, does my mother have to break my head to bleed to vent my hatred? Just because I didn't cook all night? ”
Xu Lan's outburst shocked everyone present.
After all, Xu Lan is usually obedient.
Chen Jinhua was angry enough, this little hoof still dares to talk back?
Chen Jinhua rushed forward directly and slapped Xu Lan in the face.
"Dare to talk back? Who gave you the guts? If you marry my son, you have to listen to me, my son listens to me, if you don't accept it, you will divorce my son, and you can't give birth to a son's thing, and you dare to talk back? ”
Xu Lan was stunned by this slap, and her original anger and unwillingness seemed to be scattered by this slap again.
Su Tian is still crying, and his wife is also crying.
Su Qin's eyes were about to turn red.
He stood in front of Xu Lan and blocked the embarrassed Xu Lan.
"Mother, you raised me since I was a child, I will do whatever you want me to do, and your daughter-in-law is also what you helped me marry. However, just because Xiaolan gave birth to a daughter, we are not your relatives? ”
"My granddaughter was starved to death, and my daughter-in-law was tired to death, which is the money I got from working, and what I was given every month was half of the other brothers, and the eldest brother's money never needed to be taken home, and the money of the second brother and the fourth brother was also how much they wanted to pay, and the eldest brother's field was still taken care of by Xiaolan, is it that my wife is separated, and you are happy?"
"If you don't want to see us like this, then let's split up, I don't want my daughter-in-law and daughter to die and regret it."
Su Liang roared angrily: "Shut up, what did you say?" ”
"Daddy, am I not telling the truth? There are so many fields at home, isn't it bad for my daughter to eat? Tian Tian eats that bowl of porridge and soup every morning, and lunch and dinner are the least of hers, you look at your granddaughter, who is six years old, but still three or four years old, and has to do housework every day. ”
"She has to wash the dishes and chopsticks at home, she has to wash the clothes, and she is cutting pigweed."
"What is Yuanyuan, who is the same age as her, doing? Crazy play in the village every day. ”
Chen Jinhua was really angry.
It's all to blame for this little hoof, and his son is not obedient.
She said viciously: "Can Tiantian be the same as Yuanyuan?" Yuanyuan is a brat, she is a loser, shouldn't she help the family work? ”
Su Qin closed his eyes fiercely.
For the first time, he realized how stupid his obedience was.
"Mother, you are also a woman, Tiantian is my daughter, if you want to starve her to death and exhaust her, it is better to starve me to death first."
Speaking of which, the relationship between the four brothers in the family is good, except for the fourth brother, who is the most favored, and he is usually more domineering.
At this time, Su Jin, that is, the second child, was inexplicably a little uncomfortable, because their family also had two daughters.
I usually have to help the family work, and when I come back from school, I have to help wear bamboo beads.
It's just that his daughter wasn't hungry.
Su Jin didn't speak in the end, after all, it had nothing to do with their family.
Su Liang was a little impatient.
"Okay, what's the fuss, today's matter, it's your mother's fault, old woman, dare to be hungry and sweet in the future, see if I don't clean you up, hurry up and cook."
In a word, it was as if nothing had happened.
However, Su Qin didn't dare to say anything more, although he still had a lot to say.
Su Liang said again: "Go get a bottle of safflower oil, third child, you rub it for Tiantian." ”
Su Tian was a little helpless in her heart.
I'm afraid this time it's the end of the matter again.
How to live in the future or how to live in the future.
Perhaps the only thing that has changed is that she doesn't have to go hungry.
But Xu Lan still has to work on the land of the two families, and his own money may be divided into ten yuan, or maybe five yuan.
Sure enough, Su Qin stopped talking and went to get safflower oil in silence.
Xu Lan also sat on the bed and did not speak.
Only Chen Jinhua scolded and went to cook.
Su Qin rubbed Su Tian's back with safflower oil, it was sour, and Su Tian was screaming.
When the rice was ready to eat, Su Tian found that this time, there was more rice in his bowl.
And when eating, Su Qin will also pick up vegetables for her from time to time.
Su Tian felt uncomfortable, but he also knew that he could only take his time.
Some things are deep-rooted, and Su Liang's position as the patriarch is unshakable.
There is no way to change it overnight.
Su Qin and Xu Lan were able to rise up, and it was also an impulse.
At this time, didn't the two of them calm down and didn't dare to say anything more?
For example, she was thrown out of bed, for example, her long-term malnutrition, it seems that nothing has happened.
There is still a long way to go, and now that she is six years old, she will be able to go to school in another year.
It's just that if my mother still works so hard, I'm afraid that she will still be sick by then.
After eating, the family of three went back to their rooms.
In the room, Su Qin comforted Xu Lan softly.
Although I feel uncomfortable, I think that today's incident has made a fuss, and my daughter should at least not be hungry again in the future.
The plasterer is also exposed to the wind and the sun, and the work is also hard, no matter what, he still has to fight for ten yuan next month, so that the daughter and daughter-in-law have something to spend.
