A few days later, Li Xiangyang appeared again, and what Wang Chu didn't expect was that his mother-in-law, father-in-law, and his sister all came, and they brought a lot of gifts.

"Oh, mother-in-law, I finally saw you." The mother-in-law grabbed her mother when she entered the door, "Xiangyang has been saying that her mother-in-law is young all the way, and sure enough." ”

Mother snorted, and Wang Chu was surprised, "Dad, Mom, when did you come?" ”

"What mom and dad?" The mother frowned and glared at Wang Chu, "Where are the parents, where are the mother-in-law?" Where did the mother-in-law come from? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, the mother-in-law turned her head and asked Li Xiangyang, "What's the matter with Xiangyang?" Did you offend your mother-in-law somewhere? Didn't you say that the two of you just had a few words? Why is your mother-in-law so prejudiced against you? ”

"Go back." The father also spoke, and said categorically, "My daughter will not go back with you." ”

The mother-in-law didn't seem to understand her father's words, "Father-in-law, didn't these two children quarrel a few words?" I won't let you go back. It seems that the mother-in-law doesn't know anything about what Li Xiangyang did, and the father-in-law is also surprised, and it can be seen from her sister's eyes that she knows some inside information.

"Just a few arguments?" Without thinking, the mother shouted, "Did you ask your son what he was arguing about?" The mother-in-law and father-in-law looked dazed, and the mother turned her head and yelled at Li Xiangyang, "Li Xiangyang, you didn't tell your parents what you did to my family Wang Chu?" I ask you, why did you beat my daughter like this, what did my daughter do wrong? Let you put such a heavy hand? If you Li Xiangyang say one, two, three, then I admit it, you tell me, what's wrong with my daughter looking for a wild man outside? Makes you do this to her? ”

"What?" The mother-in-law suddenly realized, she turned her head and asked Li Xiangyang, "Xiangyang, did you really beat Chu Chu?" ”

"I ......." Li Xiangyang was hesitant and couldn't say a thing or two.

"Why are you so bastard? How can you do it? How did I explain to you, don't hit a woman, why didn't you take my words to heart? The mother-in-law cried as she spoke.

Li Xiangyang lowered his head and didn't speak, just wiped his tears, and his mother took out more than a dozen photos and appraisal books from the drawer and put them on the coffee table, "Look at it, what did your son do to my daughter?" ”

Li Xiangyang didn't dare to look at it, her mother-in-law picked it up from the coffee table and read all the photos, her hands trembled several times, and her eyes flashed with a disappointed light, "Xiangyang." She said coldly, "You called my old couple up in such a hurry, it turned out that you had caused such a big disaster, so that I was embarrassed here?" Clean up the mess and wipe your ass for you, right? ”

"When you first got married, your Li family didn't want to spend a penny." The father spoke, "I didn't even have a wedding, my daughter said that your family spent all the money for Xiangyang to go to college, and there was no money in the family, I admit it, but it's good now, Li Xiangyang, are you treating my daughter home like this?" My daughter's injuries were beaten with sticks, right? Are you crazy? Hit like this all over your body? I haven't been willing to beat my daughter since I was a child, and you beat her like this when I married you? Li Xiangyang, let me tell you, it's our kindness not to let you go to jail, but I will never let you take my daughter away. ”

"I'm sorry." Li Xiangyang finally spoke, "I'm sorry Chu Chu, that wasn't my intention, I was drunk at the time, and I don't know how I ......." ”

"A drunken sentence that you don't know can cover up all your crimes?" The father's heart spewed out, "It's not enough to kill people, do you mean that you can forgive you if you kill someone, apologize, get drunk, and say sorry?" ”

"You ...... go." Wang Chu's eyes were red, "You all let me go, I don't want to see you again." ”

After Wang Chu finished speaking, he was about to go out of the house, Li Xiangyang grabbed her and knelt on the ground, "Chu Chu, don't go, can you forgive me?" I can't get a divorce, I can't live without you. She tried her best to break free of Li Xiangyang's hand, and her arms were twisted red. Wang Jian also came to help, Li Xiangxia also participated, several people twisted together, she even became difficult to breathe, she suddenly had a little pain in her stomach, squatted down, and shrunk into a ball of pain.

Later, Wang Chu was sent to the hospital, Li Xiangyang, father-in-law, mother-in-law and Li Xiangxia all came, and the mother and father were also there, but fortunately the child had nothing to do.

Li Xiangyang knelt on the ground and was silent, and his mother-in-law took Wang Chu's hand and said, "Chu Chu, you forgive Xiang Yang this time, he knows that he is wrong, your father and I are here, and now that you are pregnant again, in the future, I will never let Xiang Yang move another finger of you." ”

"What do you ask for? What is there to ask for, my daughter will not go back with you, you should leave quickly. Mother shouted.

"I won't forgive him." Wang Chu didn't even call his mother anymore, "He beat people ruthlessly, which shows that this kind of thinking has seeped into his bones, there will be a second time if there is a first time, and I, Wang Chu, will never live with this kind of person for a lifetime." ”

"Chu Chu, you forgive me, I know I'm not human, I swear I won't beat you again, I swear, if you forgive me, I'm begging you." Li Xiangyang begged.

"Don't say any more, I can't forgive you." Wang Chu got up from the hospital bed and wanted to leave the ward, but Li Xiangyang grabbed her hand and didn't relax, and her mother-in-law knelt on the ground normally, "Child." She grabbed her hand with both hands, "For the sake of my old face kneeling for you, and you will forgive him for the baby in the belly this time, if he does it to you again, you will leave him, and I will never stop you again." ”

"What are you doing here?" Wang Chu wanted to pull up his mother-in-law, "Hurry up." ”

"Chu Chu, if you don't promise me to go back, I won't get up."

"Chu Chu, I beg you too." Li Xiangxia also persuaded, "I, the sister, have never begged anyone, this time I also begged you, for the sake of my mother kneeling for you, you forgive Xiangyang this time, as the saying goes, there are again and again, there are no three and four, if he does it to you again, I, the sister, will support your divorce." ”

"Stop." The father couldn't stand it anymore, and finally stood up, "I said, I won't agree to my daughter going back with you, my daughter is willing to give birth to the baby in her belly, and we will raise this child ourselves." ”

From beginning to end, my father-in-law stood aside and didn't say a word, the ward was so noisy that the hospital nurses couldn't stand it, and ordered everyone to leave, and the ward was completely quiet.

Wang Chu locked himself in the ward for several days and did not come out, even his mother came in through the window of the ward, and Li Xiangyang's family claimed that if Wang Chu did not agree for a day, they would not go home for a day, and Li Xiangyang would not go to work for a day.

After all, Li Xiangyang didn't beat Wang Chu, he still went back to work, and his mother-in-law wanted to stay and take care of her, but as long as Li Xiangyang rested, he rushed back to visit her, either to buy a necklace, or to buy earrings, or clothes, she didn't even look at it, all of them were stuffed into the wardrobe and put away.

Mother-in-law makes all kinds of rhetoric every day, she scolded her father-in-law and scolded Li Xiangyang, she said, "My father's influence in the family is indelible, this is the sin created by him Li Jinzhong, and even the next generation is harmed, Xiangyang grew up in that environment, and it is inevitable that he will be influenced by his father." ”

"So, my family can't go back with you." Mother chimed in.

The mother-in-law ignored her mother and continued, "Chu Chu, it is not easy for a woman to raise a child, and a child cannot be born without a father, you listen to me, will you go back with me?" ”

Wang Chu was speechless, she could only replace it with silence, she couldn't understand the hard work of raising a child, she only felt that it was not difficult to give birth to a child and raise him.

More than four months pregnant, Wang Chu's belly was pregnant, and her mother-in-law took care of Wang Chu's house for more than two months, cooking, laundry, tidying up the house, working in the fields, and her mother-in-law took care of everything outside the house. My father is fine, and more often than not, he is willing to talk to his mother-in-law.

Every time Li Xiangyang came, he brought a lot of things in a big bag, and his mother didn't even look at it, most of the time, Wang Chu closed the door and closed the door, until one time, he collided with Li Xiangyang on the road.

"Chu Chu." Li Xiangyang stopped Wang Chu, "For the sake of the child, forgive me, okay?" She didn't want to look at him at all, so she turned around and left, he pulled her to kneel on the ground, "Chu Chu, I beg you, forgive me, okay, if I Li Xiangyang does it to you again, I won't die well, you see." He pulled a watch out of his pocket and put it in her hand, "I bought you a watch." ”

Wang Chu sneered, "Li Xiangyang, I am not rare with your watches, necklaces, earrings, and clothes, I only care about the child in my belly now, for the sake of my mother's face, for the sake of having a child between us, I can go back with you to live, but this does not mean that I will forgive you, I don't want my child to become a single-parent family, let alone find a stepfather for the child, but if you dare to do it again in the future, I will never step into the Li family half a step again, you heard me clearly." ”

"Wife, did you promise me to go back?" Li Xiangyang got up and hugged Wang Chu, "Wife, thank you for giving me this opportunity, thank you!" ”

Wang Chu finally agreed to go back with Li Xiangyang, she made this decision, which made it difficult for her parents to accept, especially her mother, "Chu Chu, you can't go back with Li Xiangyang, think about how he did it to you?" I haven't been willing to beat you since I was a child, look at what he beat you to and you still follow him back? ”

"Sister." Xu Xiaoran interjected, "He Li Xiangyang beat you like that, and you still want to go back?" You know it's a fire pit and you want to jump into it? ”

"Mom, Xiao Ran." Wang Chu said, "Don't persuade me, I have decided to give Xiangyang a chance and give my unborn child a complete home." ”

"Chu Chu, if you go back with the Li family today, you won't enter the house from now on." Mother warned.

Wang Jian was so anxious that he stomped his feet back and forth, Xu Xiaoran also cried, Li Xiangyang knelt on the ground, "Dad, Mom, I, Li Xiangyang, swear that I will never move a finger against Chu Chu from now on, you just let Chu Chu go home with me, I know it's wrong." ”

"In-laws." The mother-in-law immediately helped, "Don't worry, you two don't worry, this family has me, I'm not dead yet, with me, I will never let Xiang Yang move a finger again." ”

Wang Chu began to pack his clothes, and his mother began to cry, "Chu Chu, you have thought about it, if you go with Li Xiangyang today, you will not enter this house again." ”

Wang Chu no longer paid attention to his mother, picked up the bag and went out, for Li Xiangyang's hatred, she temporarily put it in her heart at this moment, all the hatred, all because of the child in her belly, was ridiculously forgiven.

After leaving home for more than three months, and returning to that home, her mother-in-law served Wang Chu three meals a day, the kitchen was not allowed to enter, the house was not allowed to be cleaned up, and the clothes were not washed.

After dinner every afternoon, Li Xiangyang put down the entertainment, worked as little overtime as possible, and came back to take Wang Chu for a walk, he often said to others, "My wife is pregnant, I want to go home to accompany her." ”

Friends and colleagues were envious, "Li Xiangyang, you are talented and handsome, your daughter-in-law is really blessed." ”

"That's it." At that time, Li Xiangyang's language was full of confidence, and when he returned home, he often said to Wang Chu, "You have slept enough at home during the day, and you must go out for a walk at night, walk more, exercise more, and give birth to children quickly." ”

Wang Chu agrees with this point of view, her mother-in-law often says this, and the doctor will also tell her this when she goes to the hospital for prenatal checkups, and even Xu Xiaoran told her about her experience, "Sister, don't forget, moving around more when you are pregnant will help you give birth."

Li Xiangyang specially made a slingshot, when walking with Wang Chu, he made a few sparrows or pigeons for her to eat, and his mother-in-law bought fifty chicks from the bazaar and came back to raise, and his father-in-law spent several days building a chicken pen in the backyard to raise chickens, and his mother-in-law said, "When these little chicks grow up, just in time for Chu Chu's confinement, when the time comes, you will be raised for nothing." ”

"Why do you want so much jerky?" Li Xiangyang said, "Now everyone is popular for bone beauty. ”

Wang Chu is waiting to see how she grows fat, since she was a child, she has always been yellow and thin, and she looks sick.

Although her mother-in-law treated Wang Chu as her own daughter, and despite Li Xiangyang's efforts to please her, she could feel a heavy sense of sadness in her heart, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. The tragedy she experienced that night would play out in her mind from time to time, and she felt a strong sense of disgust for this family and him. But several nights, after waking up unintentionally, she found Li Xiangyang holding her hands and quietly watching her wipe her tears while she was sleeping, and she felt that he was sincerely repenting for his mistakes.

It's just that Wang Chu no longer loves Li Xiangyang as much as before, even the words are less, and the little bird on his body is gone. In fact, she used to like to be clingy, she liked to snuggle in his arms when watching TV, she liked to let him hug her when she slept, and she liked to kiss on weekdays. This time of loving and being loved was so short that the marriage lasted less than three years and apparently vanished after this experience.

Li Xiangyang is quite touched, every time he comes home from work, Wang Chu is either in bed or locks himself in the room alone in a daze. Occasionally, an intimacy would be rejected, sleeping far away from him, and he would forcibly pull her into his arms, even a simple kiss would be rejected.

Li Xiangyang knew that Wang Chu loved to read novels, so he tried his best to buy more than a dozen novels and came back, and she had read "Jane Eyre", "Notre Dame de Paris", "Border City" and "La Traviata" at least several times. "The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Can't Bear the Lightness of Life", "How Steel is Made", "Pride and Prejudice", "Gulliver's Travels", "The Catcher in the Rye" and "The Brothers Karamazov", she met for the first time.

Wang Chu finished reading "Can't Bear the Lightness of Life" in one go, and the novel describes the love life between Thomas, Theresa and Sarina. But it's not a triangular sex story of a man and two women, it's a philosophical novel that begins with a discussion of "eternal reincarnation" and takes the reader into thinking about a range of issues, such as light and heavy, spirit and flesh. The book is loaded with a variety of meanings: the revelation of politicized social connotations, the investigation of human nature, the presentation of individual destiny in a specific historical and political context, and the exploration of the nature of gender relations. Kundera combines these elements into an extraordinary novel – a metaphorical philosophical reflection that also unfolds the joys and sorrows of human life.

Wang Chu also thought about his life experience and joys and sorrows, the material of the novel comes from life, and the experience of a person's life is a very good novel. She felt that her life had just begun, and that she was not good enough to conceive a complete art book, but she had the urge to write. When she finished reading all the novels in one sitting, she often locked herself in her room, this time not in a daze, but to conceive a novel that had nothing to do with her.

At that time, there was no computer at home, so Wang Chu bought letters, signed paper and pens, a writing desk, a stool and chair, and the warm sunlight that came in one meter was enough for her to pour into a story and couldn't extricate herself. My mother-in-law often opened the door and reminded, "Chu Chu, you can't sit all the time, you see how good the sun is outside, go out for a walk." ”

Sometimes Wang Chu also felt that he had been sitting long enough, so he replied, "I know Mom." ”

The mother-in-law didn't know what Wang Chu was doing, and her father-in-law often asked, "You tell Chu Chu not to stay in the room all day and night, and let her go out for a walk." ”

The so-called turnaround, Wang Chu only walked around the side of the road at the door, and more often, she stayed in the vegetable field in the backyard of her house. This vegetable field, which is less than 100 square meters, is well maintained by the father-in-law and mother-in-law. Beans, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, and spicy berries grow very well. There is also a large patch of strawberries planted next to it, and she can hope to grow strawberries soon, so that she can eat pollution-free strawberries.

Speaking of growing vegetables, my father-in-law has his own set of philosophies, he uses a thread to draw a straight line, staples wooden sticks at both ends, bolts the thread to the wooden stick, and after making sure that it is not crooked, he digs out a groove with a shovel and spreads mulch. When planting vegetables, the distance is measured on a five-centimeter scale, and the ridges in the field are so flat that even an ant can't climb up.

The mother-in-law was angry when she saw her father-in-law working, "I don't know what the vegetables look like, first of all, you can kill people when you look at your work, you see that your ridge is beaten, even an ant can't climb up, and you do the same when you plant an artichoke in your hometown, with such a cumbersome process, the artichoke is not planted, and I haven't seen you grow gold." ”

The father-in-law was so angry that his mouth was in a ball, and Li Xiangyang said, "Every family in Xinjiang has at least more than 20 acres of land. ”

"Hey, I don't have anything to do." Seeing Li Xiangyang speak, his father-in-law smiled and said.

"Doing the little work is what a carpenter does." The mother-in-law frowned and said, "You've been a carpenter all your life, and I haven't seen you make a name for yourself." ”

Later, Li Xiangyang told Wang Chu, not to mention planting vegetables, just planting potatoes and digging a pit, and his father-in-law had to dig the pit exactly the same size and depth, and if he didn't come according to his requirements, he would scold, "People haven't grown up, you have learned to cut corners, you go back to me and don't do it." ”

The father-in-law scolded whoever was disobedient, but as long as the father-in-law rested at home, the mother-in-law, Li Xiangyang, his brother and sister planted all the artichokes at noon, and the father-in-law was so angry that he turned around in the field after finding out, and he had to take a shovel to shoot the ground flat, just like the mother-in-law said, so flat that even an ant couldn't climb up.

Later, the mother-in-law said to Wang Chu, "Your father, it's because of you two that he can't bear to get angry, in his hometown, if I say this about him, he will already be angry." ”

Wang Chu was silent, thinking, "No wonder Xiang Yang has a strange personality, he is all with his father." ”
