Chapter 59: Grievances for My Mother (2)
Zeng Meiyue saw her daughter confronting her husband for herself, and she couldn't help but redden.
When he married into the Su family, his husband was really good to him, although the family was poor, he would also try to be good to himself.
I remember when I was pregnant with Xiaoman, I suddenly wanted to eat sour oranges one night, he knew, without saying a word, put on his coat and ran to the street, knocked on the doors of several stores in a row, only to buy oranges, and went home and peeled them one by one for himself to eat.
She is content, and after giving birth to a daughter, she is also desperately trying to help the family get by.
Until she became pregnant again, she was sad. Thinking of the child who was more than four months old, Zeng Meiyue was so distressed.
Her body is relatively weak, and she often follows her in-laws to the sea to hang oysters, and often has irregular menstruation when she gets cold, and when she finds out that she is pregnant, the child is already more than three months old.
In the village, like her, there are also Wang Aizhen of the Su family and Zhang Bihua of the Su Bihui family. The three of them are also coincidental, the eldest daughter is the same age, and the younger son is also the same age. But the difference is that both of them have a younger daughter who is two years younger than the eldest daughter, while Zeng Meiyue does not.
At that time, the village advocated that every family should have a doll. Su Murong of Sujia Village became an official and a half-time job in the town, and in order to show that his work was in place, he stared at who was pregnant in the village every day, and did ideological work for people everywhere.
The three families were unwilling to pay attention, but later they gave an ultimatum to tear down their houses if they did not listen to persuasion.
Su Huotu and Su Bihui ignored it, and they both hid out with their pregnant wives. But Su Yuhui was worried that the old house that he had built with great difficulty would be flattened, and the family would have no place to live, so how could it be done.
So, he replied to Su Murong and agreed to give up the child.
Zeng Meiyue was really unwilling, she even wanted to go back to her parents' house and give birth to the child. But Su Yuhui said that when the child was born, the family's house was demolished, Yuwen's health was not good, and his parents were old, what kind of face did their family have to stay in this village?
Zeng Meiyue also knew that her in-laws' family were all well-behaved people, they wanted children, but they were afraid that the house would be demolished, so the old couple begged that Su Murong several times, but the other party was unwilling to help. Now that her husband has agreed, and her in-laws don't speak, what can she do if she is reluctant, she can't harm her mother-in-law's house being demolished.
But over the years, whenever she sees the little daughters of the neighbors, Zeng Meiyue will think of her poor child, who has been a baby girl for more than four months.
At that time, she was too poor, Zeng Meiyue was sad for a while, and she could only resign herself to continuing to devote her energy to the fields and oyster fields. Later, she gave birth to Xiao Jinyang, Zeng Meiyue looked at a pair of children, and slowly put away her resentment towards her husband. Yes, she had complained about him before. She blamed him for protecting the big family's house, but he buried his youngest daughter. She also blamed herself, why can't she be braver.
Now seeing a pair of children well-behaved and sensible, and life is better than in the past few years, I don't know how many times, she really wants to live a good life for her family. She has listened to her father's teachings since she was a child: as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle.
Zeng Zhenxing often cheered Zeng Meiyue up: "You see that iron stick can be sharpened into a needle, as long as you can endure hardships and are willing to do things, life will definitely get better." ”
Su Manjin looked at her mother's eyes were red and she was holding back tears, she was very distressed. But when she thought of her father's self-righteous appearance of worrying about others, ignoring her family's feelings, she felt troubled again.
"Dad, I said so much, just to tell you: this family is not your alone, it can't be your word. This family, with my mother's dedication, you should respect my mother's ideas in everything you do. ”
"You should figure out who your family is and who is an outsider. Instead of blindly helping others, you can gain your own good name. ”
"How many of those people in the village do you think are genuinely complimenting you? Yes, you helped them today, and they are grateful to you. But don't those who are in tune with you see that they may get benefits from you? Everyone wants to leave a way out for themselves, just in case they need help, they can talk to you. ”
"If one day, you fall, you have no money, you have no value to others, and you see how many people can shout good names to you on the side?"
"The reason why you are where you are today is not the credit of you alone, but the credit of the whole family. You'd better recognize this and not inflate blindly. ”
"If you don't distinguish between right and wrong like this, regardless of your family's feelings, then my mother doesn't need to live with you anymore."
Zhou Xiuni was anxious, "Xiaoman, what are you talking about?!" ”
Su Manjin looked at Su Yuhui and responded indifferently: "I'm telling the truth. A person who doesn't even respect his own wife, even if he has a good reputation from the whole village, what is it, is it interesting? Do you want to live with your own family or with someone else? ”
Su Yuhui was so angry that his daughter was counted, although he also recognized his own problems, he couldn't accept his daughter to lose face like this.
Zeng Meiyue sighed, held her daughter's hand, and looked at her gently: "Xiaoman, your father did something wrong, he will figure it out." Don't be angry, our family finally has hope for the future, and this family can be scattered wherever it can be said. ”
Su Manjin snorted, depressed and didn't want to speak.
Zeng Meiyue turned her head to look at her husband: "Yuhui, Xiaoman's words are straighter, but the truth is right." This family is our common one, and the grocery store and seafood store can have today, and there is also a small man's great credit. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, I hope you can discuss it with your family before making a decision. May I? ”
Su Yuhui knew that he was at a loss. Looking at his gentle wife, he nodded: "In the future, the family's money will be handed over to you for safekeeping." ”
Su Jinshun saw that his eldest son's family had communicated well, and he said to Su Yuhui seriously: "Dad knows, you want to change the villagers' perception of our family. My family used to be poor, but now it's better, and you want others to change their opinion of our family. ”
"But, son, you must also know that life is for us to live for ourselves after all, not for others to see. Mei Yue is good, she has always been in charge of you and our family, and she never complains about her hard work. You can't treat her badly. ”
"Your fourth uncle and fourth aunt, I'll go tell them. But, in the future, you really have to change. ”
Su Yuhui nodded: "Dad, I know." ”
After the noisy and noisy passed, Su Manjin divided the week's profits for his family. The 1,000 yuan that Su Yuhui lent to Su Jinde was out of the money he deserved. Su Yuhui took the remaining 943 yuan and handed it over to Zeng Meiyue.
Su Manjin saw it, pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more.
