Chapter 20: Not being able to give birth to a son is even more wrong
Later, I learned that her sister-in-law was beautiful when she was young, and she was famous for her good looks in several streets near Xu's house, but she knew a poor student from the countryside, and the two of them loved each other fiercely and promised each other for life.
Although the Xu family has never been a wealthy family, after all, they are natives of Changshi, and they have an old house in the city, and they eat commercial grain, so of course they will not agree to their daughter's beautiful and moon-looking being with the countrymen.
But in that era when women can stand up for a long time and marry freely, where can the elders stop it?
Xu Ruyue promised not to contact her family in front of her, but in fact, she still secretly corresponded secretly, thinking that when her lover was admitted to college and had a good future, her family would never object, right?
With this kind of thought, it was the college entrance examination that year, and the poor student did have some ability and was really admitted to the university in Beijing.
It was originally a happy ending, but he didn't expect that the man did not come to the Xu family to propose marriage as he said, but quietly left the capital, leaving Xu Xiaogu alone and waiting for him to come back and be hired.
As a result, the lover didn't wait, but he learned that he was pregnant, and his growing belly couldn't hide it from the people who came over at home, and was soon discovered by Mrs. Xu and her two sisters-in-law.
The little daughter like a delicate flower was enlarged by a poor student, and the other party was still missing, and the angry old man Xu was about to kill her on the spot, thanks to the old lady Xu who gave up her life to protect her.
Xu Ruyue was also a bold person at that time, she knew that if her lover didn't come to propose, it would be impossible for her family to tolerate this child, so in the middle of the night, the family was asleep, and she stole the family's money and went to Beijing to find someone, and it was two or three months to leave.
The Xu family lost a daughter here, of course they had to call the police, but it wasn't until two months later that they received a call from the police in Beijing, and Xu Weiping went to Beijing to pick up his sister.
No one knows what happened in those two months, only that Xu Ruyue's stomach had flattened after she was picked up, and she knelt down in front of her parents, crying that she was wrong.
It is said that knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law at home can naturally tolerate her, but such a big event in that era made Xu Ruyue's reputation in the neighborhood stink.
The suitors who surrounded her before avoided her like a snake and scorpion, even if the boy really liked it, the other party's family would not want a daughter-in-law with such a reputation.
In the end, the Xu family saw that there were really no good people willing to come to the door to say goodbye, and the ones who came were either widowers with dead wives and several children, or they were physically disabled and difficult to marry a daughter-in-law.
Pick and choose, only now this cripple looks good, lame does not affect work, can make money, and the age is right, the old couple of the Xu family never asked their daughter again, so they hurriedly married her.
After getting married, the lame man who swore that he didn't care about Xu Ruyue's past, after all, still didn't fulfill his promise, and his words were often full of disgust, and after giving birth to two daughters in a row, he didn't have a good life, and he had to be beaten from time to time.
None of the three brothers of the Xu family came forward for their sister, in their eyes, it was wrong for her sister to have a bad reputation before marriage, and it was even more wrong to not be able to give birth to a son after marriage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the evening, at the Xu family's dinner table, the family sat together, and Chen Shulan talked about the recent expenses of the family.
First of all, Xu Su came to school in the city, and it took hundreds of dollars to sign up, and tomorrow the youngest son will enter primary school.
These are almost a month's salary for Chen Shulan, and it will be Old Man Xu's birthday soon, although he is not a wealthy family, he is reluctant to go to the restaurant to eat at the birthday banquet, and only plans to gather as a family in the old mansion.
But after all, it's my father's birthday, why do you want to wrap a red envelope?
"Let's make a thousand two." Xu Weiping listened to his daughter-in-law's nagging for a long time, and finally made a decision, "You get a red package, buy two bottles of wine for Dad, and you don't need to prepare the rest." ”
Chen Shulan was a little reluctant: "Before moving out of the old house, you promised to give your parents 300 yuan every month to pay filial piety, I didn't have a word, but this time I gave another 1,002, Xu Weiping, how easy are you for us to make this money?" ”
Xu Weiping ate silently and said nothing.
"We won't compare the boss with him, but what about the third? Their family lives in the old house, not to mention the filial piety money for their parents, I'm afraid that even the food expenses will be subsidized by two old people, right? ”
Chen Shulan continued unrelentingly: "Two days ago, you said that you wanted to buy a mobile phone, saying that everyone in the factory bought a mobile phone, and I have been with you for a long time, and now I have prepared one thousand two for your father, which is enough to buy two or three mobile phones." ”
Syllable!
Xu Weiping put the bowl on the dining table, and Chen Shulan shook in fright.
Xu Yang was also taken aback, he didn't look at the situation, and he was about to start howling as soon as his mouth pouted, Chen Shulan glanced at his own man, and was busy coaxing his son.
was stirred up by his son like this, Xu Weiping, who was about to be angry, also softened his tone: "Okay!" If I don't buy a mobile phone first, I don't have a word about my father's birthday, and I can't say where to put it. ”
"Don't always compare with the third brother, our family has moved out, the third child is doing our filial piety for us, our life is better than theirs, and it is not a big deal who suffers between brothers, so prepare according to what I said."
Don't look at Xu Weiping as just an ordinary porter outside, but at home, he has absolute authority, as long as he makes decisions, Chen Shulan doesn't dare to say anything.
This is still after Xu Yang was born, Chen Shulan has a son by her side, so she dares to occasionally refute her own man like just now.
When Xu Su was born, she was a daughter, and she caught up with family planning, and almost cut off Xu Weiping's roots as soon as she was born.
Later, Chen Shulan decided to quietly send her daughter back to her parents' house, saying that she had given it away, thinking about having a son, but she didn't have a heart for many years, but it was Xu Weiguo's younger brother, who got married later and gave birth to two sons in a row, and this comparison was even more tormenting.
In short, in the years when Xu Yang was not born, Chen Shulan didn't even dare to gasp for breath in the Xu family.
At this moment, seeing that she couldn't persuade her own man, Chen Shulan could only nod.
Xu Su ate silently and didn't participate in these topics, but Xu Weiping looked at it and cared about his daughter rarely: "Su Su, you will officially start school tomorrow, right?" ”
Xu Su had just eaten a bite of food while holding the bowl, and nodded when he heard the question.
"Are you going to eat lunch in the study cafeteria, or are you going to rush back home to eat it?"
