Chapter 36: Suffering

Xiao Yuxuan told what happened at night as simply as possible, for fear of stimulating her mother to make her angry, so she didn't say a word about the bad attitude of the three of them.

"Mom, you don't know, they scolded my brother so badly, and in the end, if my brother hadn't scared them with a knife, they would ......" Chen Yumo interjected to hold Xiao Yuxuan's grievances.

"Momo, eat your meal." Xiao Yuxuan interrupted his sister's words and asked his mother: "That's it, Mom, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Zening answered the question, and said with a smile: "Eat first, and then talk after eating." Yu Xuan, there is still it in the pot, hurry up and finish eating it and go to it, don't wait for it to be cold...... Momo, are you going to drag that half bowl of noodles until dawn for breakfast? ”

Xiao Zening figured out the whole story from the mouths of the two children, and did not take the three of them to heart, but he was pleased with Xiao Yuxuan's change.

She can clearly feel that her son has changed a lot when he comes home this time, and he is willing to speak1 without talking, he speaks in an orderly manner, and things are more thoughtful, and he no longer stammers and does not express his words as before.

This change was exactly what she had dreamed of.

……

When Xiao Zening was busy washing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen, he saw his daughter squeezing in, so he asked, "I'll finish it right away, what are you doing here?" Don't get in the way here, run around in your pajamas, you won't be guilty of catching a cold? Hurry back to the house and let your brother go to bed and lie down and cover the quilt. ”

Chen Yumo turned his head to look in the direction of the room: "My brother is afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, let me come and have a look." Mom, are you alright? ”

"What's so uncomfortable about me?" This kind of rare care made Xiao Zening very useful, and he couldn't help but smile when he spoke: "By the way, you go and carry the big quilt in my room to your bed, and I will squeeze you at night." ”

"Huh? My bed is so small, can it sleep two people? ”

"Why not? It's not like I haven't slept before. Xiao Zening wanted to talk to his son more, "I'll talk to your brother and my mother in a while." ”

"Oh!" Chen Yumo was naturally willing to leave in response.

……

"What's going on?" Xiao Yuxuan saw his sister carrying the quilt into the house, and her head was full of question marks.

"Mom just said she slept with me at night."

Xiao Yuxuan didn't understand what was going on, and asked, "Then why are you holding the quilt?" You were going to sleep with your mom in the next bedroom, huh? ”

Chen Yumo put the quilt on the bed, pointed to the top bunk and said, "I sleep on the lower bunk with my mother, you sleep on the top bunk, and my mother will talk about chatting for a while." ”

“……”

Only then did Xiao Yuxuan figure out that it might be that his mother had something to say to her brother and sister, so she didn't say anything more.

"Yu Xuan, Momo." When Xiao Yuxuan was lying on the bed and still wondering what his mother would say, his mother's voice came from the lower bunk: "I originally planned to mention the divorce from your father after Momo goes to college next year." Since they can't wait now, they divorced the marriage years ago...... If it weren't for the fact that you are still young, especially Momo, this divorce would not have dragged on to this day...... You've all grown up and know a lot of things, so I hope you don't blame your mother. “

Xiao Zening's words broke the silence, and the whole room fell into a brief silence.

"Momo, don't cry!" , Feeling that when she spoke, the daughter who was squeezed in her arms began to twitch slightly, Xiao Zening couldn't help but choke a little, stroked her daughter's back and said softly: "Even if my mother doesn't agree to divorce now, your grandmother will definitely make trouble every day, and this family will not be able to live in peace." “

"I know...... But I can't figure it out, why did Dad become like this? ”

Xiao Zening sighed and said, "Hey...... How can this be said clearly in one sentence or two? ”

"Then do you hate Dad?"

Hearing his daughter's question, Xiao Zening couldn't help but think back to the bits and pieces of these years, and said calmly after a while: "If you want to say that you haven't hated, that's a lie...... In the past two years, my mother has also figured it out, how he is willing to live is his business, and in the future, my mother just wants to guard you and your brother, and the two of you can live better than anything. “

Xiao Yuxuan can barely be regarded as a human being in two lives, and he has many years of life experience than his sister Chen Yumo, so he didn't ask some meaningless questions like Chen Yumo. Mother said to look at the open, there must still be a hurdle in the bottom of my heart, otherwise how could I occasionally drink too much, and there are signs of aggravation of this bad habit.

He said that he looked away, but his heart was not transparent, otherwise he would not have said that he regretted conceiving himself and regretting giving birth to himself after getting drunk.

Xiao Yuxuan felt that her mother seemed to attribute her fault to herself, and the result was often that she embarrassed herself, and her heart knot was caused by self-blame, and this kind of heart knot was useless to rely on others' persuasion alone.

In the past two years, his mother, who was just in her early forties, began to look old, worried about her mother's body, so Xiao Yuxuan opened her mouth to persuade: "Mom, you quit drinking, drunk hurts your body, even if you want to drink occasionally, drink less." ”

Xiao Zening, who was already happy because of his son's personality change, heard his son's brainless words of concern, and happily agreed: "Okay, mom won't drink in the future." ”

As soon as his mother's words fell, Xiao Yuxuan heard his sister complain: "It's all Dad's fault, otherwise how good it would be for our family of four to be together!" ”

Silly sister, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, how can these things happen with a simple sentence that can tell who is right and who is wrong?

A complaining sentence brought the topic back to the original track, mentioning the past, doesn't this add blockage to my mother's heart?

Sure enough, Xiao Yuxuan heard his mother's sigh again: "Hey......"

Since the matter has come to this point, Xiao Zening doesn't want to make her daughter, who is still a half-old child, feel resentful because of the matter between adults, so she simply plans to say it: "Your father did a lot of things wrong, but it makes no sense to say that he is all to blame...... When I married your father, I was already pregnant with your brother for more than four months, and in the first few years, your father and grandmother treated me and your brother quite well...... I also blamed me for being willful at the time, with your brother, I told your father that there is only one child in this life, your brother...... Your grandmother is a person who recognizes the old reason, your brother can't count the blood of the Chen family, so he wants to have a grandson, in fact, your father thinks the same thing in his heart, but when he thinks of me, he doesn't say it directly...... So now that I look back and think about it, it's understandable that your grandmother dislikes your brother, makes trouble and forces me to have a second child, or even after having you, she and your aunt will find another one with your father...... At the end of the day, it's my fault. “

Hearing this, Xiao Yuxuan knew that his conjecture was right, and his mother's so-called seeing it was really attributing all the faults to herself.

After thinking about it for a while, although he knew that the words of consolation might be useless, Xiao Yuxuan still spoke: "Mom, that's not what you say, people can't take other people's mistakes as a reason for their own mistakes!" To give an inappropriate example, if a person's father is killed by another person, then the son can kill in the name of revenge? Isn't that a mess? Putting aside other things, let's just say sister-in-law, her mother sold her daughter and didn't sell it, and her daughter didn't feel distressed, but in the end she blamed you, what is the reason? “

The sister-in-law mentioned by Xiao Yuxuan is a daughter born to Mrs. Ma after marrying Chen Cripple. Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law dropped out of primary school before graduating, and when she was a teenager, she went out to work with people from the same village, and she got along with a man in the same factory. The man's parents came to the door with sincerity to propose, Mrs. Ma bit the sky-high bride price and did not let go, the man's family conditions were limited, and finally broke up unhappily.

I have to mention a little more about the sky-high bride price, when Mrs. Ma's eldest daughter was married with the oil bottle, Mrs. Ma was also a lion, Hu Yongfei's parents had no choice but to borrow from many parties, barely enough bride price, and finally although the marriage was concluded, the two families were very unhappy about it.

Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law went out to work and saw the world, she is an assertive person, knowing that when the eldest sister got married, she had a conflict because of the bride price, so she simply married herself, and she didn't tell her family until she got married, and Mrs. Ma didn't know where the man's family lived, and she had no place to make trouble if she wanted to, or Xiao Yuxuan's mother felt sorry for her sister-in-law, and secretly took out some money from the private room as a gift money for her mother's family.

Since then, Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law rarely goes back to her parents' house, and Mrs. Ma can also be ruthless, Xiao Yuxuan's sophomore year of high school Chen lame died, and Mrs. Ma is not even allowed to inform Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law of this news. It was Xiao Yuxuan's mother again, and she secretly told Mrs. Ma that Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law was able to hurry back to the funeral.

didn't see his father for the last time, and he almost couldn't even catch up with the funeral, Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law's dissatisfaction with Mrs. Ma completely exploded.

Xiao Yuxuan's mother secretly gave gifts in the name of her mother's family at both ends was also turned out in this quarrel, and Mrs. Ma scolded directly in front of everyone in the mourning hall, saying that Xiao Yuxuan's mother, a "fox", had taught her daughter badly, etc., Xiao Yuxuan's sister-in-law also fought-for-tat, counting Mrs. Ma's various ways to defend her sister-in-law.

The mother and daughter made a fuss in the mourning hall as a joke for others, anyway, it was just a piece of chicken feathers.

Xiao Zening knew that these things couldn't be broken, so he changed the topic: "I won't mention the past...... Yu Xuan, don't look at your sister is a few years younger than you, but what I'm most worried about is you, looking honest like a gourd all day long, but you can be ruthless and don't care about anything, you can keep it in the future...... Hey, I didn't say this to you once or twice, and my mother didn't want to talk to you, I was really afraid that something would happen to you. ”

"Mom, don't worry, that's all ignorant before! But, then again, you have to blame my brother-in-law for this. ”

"How can this be related to your brother-in-law?"

"Mom, you don't know, do you? I was closest to my brother-in-law since I was a child. Thinking of his uncle, Xiao Yuxuan couldn't help laughing: "My brother-in-law told me, 'Biting dogs don't bark', just like me, who doesn't like to talk all day long, can make others afraid, if anyone dares to gossip and bully me, it's over...... He also said that when fighting, it is important to pay attention to 'those who are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of not wanting to die, and those who do not want to die are afraid of wanting to die now'...... also said that if you don't do it, forget it, but if you do, then you have to make others dare not bare their teeth anymore...... Hehe, you don't know any of that, do you? “

Xiao Zening really doesn't know what his brother taught his son! I don't talk about it all day long, and I teach my son this truth, what if something happens!

"When your brother-in-law comes back, I have to talk to him well." Xiao Zening couldn't help but feel afraid, "Fortunately, your grandfather sent him to be a soldier, otherwise he might not be afraid of any trouble with his unafraid temperament!" Xiao Yuxuan, listen to me, if you dare to fight with someone again, I will beat you, don't say that you are twenty years old, you are thirty or forty, I should beat you! ”

Pouting!

Xiao Yuxuan wanted to slap himself, why did he tell the secret between himself and his uncle?

"Mom, don't worry, didn't I say it, it was all ignorant before!" Xiao Yuxuan hurriedly opened the topic, "I don't know how my uncle is now, he hasn't been home for several years, right?" ”

"Last time, I heard your uncle mention it, saying that maybe after the New Year, your uncle will go home for a few days." Xiao Zening was still angry: "This Xiao Zeyi doesn't look like an elder at all, and he will ...... when he goes home."

It seemed that he couldn't mention his brother-in-law anymore, Xiao Yuxuan hurriedly interrupted his mother's words: "Hey...... Mom, you're divorced from Dad, why don't you go to the magic capital with me? ”

Xiao Yuxuan really had this idea, and before he went home, he thought about letting his mother go to the magic capital with him, but he didn't make up his mind.

Xiao Zening thought that his son proposed to let him go to the magic capital to play, so he refused: "Go to the magic capital? The school will open on the sixteenth day of the first month, and as soon as the school starts, I will be busy, where will I have time to go to the magic capital with you! ”

"No, I mean you quit directly, and if you can't stay in office, you just resign. Then, Momo will apply for a university in the magic capital, let's go directly to the magic capital to settle down, and then return to Guangyang during the New Year's holidays. ”

Xiao Zening felt that his son's proposal was too unreliable: "What are you kidding? With the conditions of our family, what can we do to settle down in the magic capital? The family went to the magic capital to drink the wind? ”

Xiao Yuxuan secretly thought to himself: "Mom, if you agree, I'll think of a way." ”

"You're still in school, what can you do? When you graduate, if you can find a good job, and then get married and settle down in the magic capital, then your mother will come over to help you take care of the children. Xiao Zening had his own helplessness: "But it's still early to say these things now, so you should go to school in a down-to-earth manner." You all know the situation in our family, my mother has such a dead salary every month, and if you really have to wait for your sister to go to college again, your mother can't afford the tuition fees of the two of you, so you can only borrow it from your uncle first, and then pay it back slowly. “

When it comes to worrying about money in an embarrassing life, Xiao Yuxuan empathizes with it, and can understand the bitterness and helplessness in his mother's words.
