Chapter 8: Memories

"Once upon a time, she wanted to marry a cripple to my father, just because the cripple didn't want a bride price, and gave two bags of rice as a dowry!"

"Later, my dad fell in love with you and wanted to marry you, although you didn't have a dowry, but you didn't ask for a bride price, but my grandmother did everything she could to obstruct it! Later, my father insisted that he secretly went to the black market to sell things to make some money, and bought rice, saying that it was given by my grandmother's family, and my grandmother let you two get married. ”

These things are all said by Jiang Qingyou himself! At that time, Jiang Qingyou was quite proud when he said this, it was rare that he didn't go to sea that day, and he took Jiang Xinghua and Jiang Zhenzhen brothers and sisters on his lap, and joked: "If it weren't for your father and my hard work, there would be no two of you." ”

These warm memories made Jiang Zhenzhen's heart sour, she snorted, and continued: "Although the two of you got married successfully, when did my grandmother give you a good face?" Later, when the family was separated, she didn't give us anything. Even where our family lives now is a house that my father carried back stone by stone and built it with great difficulty. ”

"Now that my dad is gone, she has no scruples, and from the beginning, she didn't treat you as a family!"

A son who is not partial to him, married a daughter-in-law who is not satisfied with him, do you still expect Qian Baoping to treat him sincerely?

Zhou Haihua couldn't figure it out, her voice trembled: "Your grandmother is a little biased, but, but, this is a crime, why did she do this?" Why do you want to hurt me? ”

"Because my grandmother is going to kiss my uncle." Jiang Zhenzhen's tone was cold, "She has taken a fancy to our house and wants to drive you away!" My brother is gone, my sister-in-law ran away, and I'm left at home with an unmarried girl and two three-year-old dolls, if you leave, she can quickly marry me out, Chunfeng and Chunjiao She raised it casually, our house is not vacant, can you marry a daughter-in-law for my uncle! ”

At the beginning, Jiang Qingyou used the best stone in order to make his wife and children live well, and the house was also spacious, not afraid of cold in winter and typhoon in summer, which can be said to be one of the best houses in the village.

Thinking about it, Qian Baoping probably thinks that using this room to find a partner for Jiang Qinghe can talk about better family affairs.

In his previous life, Jiang Qinghe married the daughter of the village party secretary in the next village, who was educated and worked as a teacher in the primary school in the village, with a salary of more than 20 yuan every month.

Zhou Haihua's face was pale, she couldn't say a word of rebuttal, she knew that what Jiang Zhenzhen said was very likely to be true. Because not long ago, her son Jiang Xinghua had just died, and Qian Baoping had discussed the house with her.

At that time, Qian Baoping also brought a basket of seafood, including crabs, conch, squid, razor clams, etc., although they were all worthless things, but they still flattered Zhou Haihua.

Qian Baoping was also very considerate at first, saying: "I think, I don't feel at ease that you orphans and widows live here, or you bring the children back to live, and I will clean up a house for you at home." ”

Zhou Haihua's heart was warm, but she thought about it and refused, because the house she lives in now was built by Jiang Qingyou little by little, and there are memories of her and Jiang Qingyou, and she was reluctant to leave.

Qian Baoping's face darkened at that time, and her tone was not very good: "There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and it is also for the sake of the family's reputation to let you go home to live." ”

Zhou Haihua's face turned red at that time, and she swore a curse: "I will definitely not do anything to be sorry for Qingyou!" ”

In fact, Zhou Haihua has been a little moved, because although Qian Baoping's words are ugly, they do make sense, and her ability to keep it does not mean that others will not gossip, if she lives with her in-laws, she doesn't need to worry about this.

Zhou Haihua hesitated and struggled, and said: "There are few houses at home, and Qinghe has reached the age of his daughter-in-law, we will go back, where will we live after Qinghe?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Qian Baoping looked up at the room and said with satisfaction, "Congratulations that you can marry a daughter-in-law here." ”

Zhou Haihua is just kind and filial, but not really stupid, if this house is really given to Jiang Qinghe to marry his daughter-in-law, then don't want to come back in the future. Although her son is gone, she still has a grandson! When the grandson grows up, he has to marry a daughter-in-law, right? The house must not be let out.

The little excitement that had just been born was immediately dispelled, and she said: "Mom, if we don't leave, Qingyou and Xinghua may come back to see if they are homesick in the future?" We live here so that Qingyou and Xinghua can see us when they come back, and they can rest assured. ”

Qian Baoping saw that she couldn't persuade Zhou Haihua, her face immediately changed, she picked up the basket she had just put down, and said with a dark face: "It's really giving you face, if I wasn't afraid that you would be a widow and affect the reputation of our family, do you think I would be willing to invite you to live at home?" ”

With that, she turned around and left.

Later, Zhou Haihua's gossip began to spread in the village. Any man passing by in front of Zhou Haihua's house will be rumored to be "Whoever looks at Zhou Haihua" and "Who seems to have just come out of Zhou Haihua's house".

Later, no matter why Zhou Haihua talked to gay men, even if he was shopping, it would be rumored that "Zhou Haihua is seducing men again".

The sea is changing rapidly, and it is very dangerous to go out to sea to fish, and there are always people who are unlucky enough to leave their lives at sea. Therefore, there is no shortage of widows on Moon Island, but she is the only one who is so famous as Zhou Haihua.

Zhou Haihua originally thought that it might be because she was good-looking that she attracted these criticisms, but now that she thinks about it, it doesn't seem to be the case.

A chill crept up her spine, making her shiver.

"Zhenzhen......" Zhou Haihua grabbed Jiang Zhenzhen's wrist, she panicked, she didn't know what to say for a while, she could only pronounce Jiang Zhenzhen's name again, "Zhenzhen ......"

It seems that only in this way can we draw some strength from Jiang Zhenzhen.

Jiang Zhenzhen put down the kettle, hugged Zhou Haihua in her arms, patted her back lightly with her hand, and said, "Mom, don't be sad, you still have me, and Chunfeng and Chunjiao, let's live our own lives in the future." My dad is gone, and my grandma is a stranger with you who is not related by blood, so you should leave her alone in the future. ”

Zhou Haihua nodded, her voice was a little hoarse: "Okay." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen let go of Zhou Haihua with a solemn expression: "But my grandma can't harm you, and I don't know what means to use later, so we still have to guard against her." ”

"The second dog—" Zhou Haihua frowned and said worriedly, "Do you know that you got the second dog into her house?" ”

"The second dog didn't see my face."
