The departed women consciously formed a small team according to their friendship, and their small and broken voices were full of presence in the silent night sky.
"Hey, if only Cuihua could have a son!" This is the person who heard that the child in Cuihua's womb is still a girl.
"Yes, yes, if you have a son in the end, you won't need a divorce!" One or two people who had just finished the discussion and still had something to say came over again.
"Even if I have a son, so what, Cuihua was almost beaten to death! What's the use of this kind of man!" Seeing from a squint, the very angry woman interjected, and she was a firm divorcee. I can't stand a man beating a woman.
And those who have loosened their stubbornness usually say something like this: "Hey...it's not right to beat your wife, but divorce is too much. How can anyone want a divorce!"
...
You talk to each other, and the unfinished discussion in the mutual aid class just now continues. In the mutual aid class, sharing is more respected than debate. Everyone can talk about their own opinions, but no one is required to persuade Who, of course, what more people need is a hearty debate, which is naturally left after class for them to comment on their own.
However, in such sharing and debates again and again, the women in Datong Village and even the surrounding villages have completely different ideas.
They began to realize that, as women, they are the most oppressive existences for women. The ones who were once bullied by their mother-in-law are the ones who are now most scolded by their daughter-in-law. Personally, on the contrary, he is now desperately trying to have a son...
Maybe the concept is still the same, but those few precious loosens, there is a change happening...
Both Lin Qing and Lin Yu snuggled up beside Shan Jingqiu, stroking the backs of the two little girls, looking at the backs of those leaving who were discussing excitedly and could even hear their voices from a distance, they were full of thoughts.
Lin Yu raised her head in confusion, and looked at her mother: "Mom, some of them think so wrong, why don't you tell them directly? Don't you have to correct your mistakes? Look, there are still people who think that Aunt Cuihua shouldn't divorce."
No matter how much love she has received, those little extremes and petty tempers in her heart still haven't been completely erased. Facing injustices, she can't help but get excited and wish she could speak up right away.
Shan Jingqiu lowered her head, looked at her daughter who was about to catch up with her height, who had grown into a young girl, stared into her eyes, and spoke softly: "Ayu thinks it is right and should be told to divorce directly. Yeah?"
Lin Yu nodded vigorously: "Yes! They were wrong in the first place. Look at how Aunt Cuihua and Sister Nier have been beaten! How can they not divorce?"
Just like she used to, she hated this family so much, why didn't she leave if she could leave? Of course, it's great now, she doesn't want to leave!
"Everyone has the right to choose, and mom can't guarantee that what she says is right." Shan Jingqiu looked into the distance: "What mom can do is to give them a place where they can listen to other people's stories, you see Most of the people are ordinary people, they will jump their feet in anger when they hear the stories about the bad mother-in-law bullying their daughter-in-law, they want to roll up their sleeves to beat them when they hear the stories about bad husbands abusing their wives, and they hear things that are bad for their children I was so distressed that I shed tears... They just didn't realize that what they did might not be so right when it was their turn."
Shan Jingqiu continued: "Mom understands Ayu's mood, Ayu is very angry why Cuihua has been bullied like this, and some people will think so, but people are different from each other. Second aunt, my mother is so much more fierce than second aunt, what about second aunt? Maybe you seldom lose your temper in your eyes, but we are all taking care of you in our own way..."
"...In many cases, there is no right or wrong, and you can't ask everyone to live life as you want." She finished and looked at her daughter and Lin Qing who were stunned.
Lin Yu encountered more unfairness, and she felt more grievances and extremes in her heart. The original heroine grew up in love in modern life, so her heart is softer, and she doesn't treat people as bad people. Maybe some modern people are selfish, but they are not annoying.
Lin Yu thought for a long time, then nodded: "So, Auntie, you never say what is right or wrong, except for saying that men and women are the same, and that women hold up half the sky?"
"No, I also think that many opinions are wrong, but I know that the opinions that are forced to be accepted are often not really accepted by others." Shan Jingqiu looked into the distance and rubbed the two children, only thinking that the future is infinite, She is not sure that the education she brought to the original heroine and her daughter must be the best. After all, the environment in Datong Village is not as good as that in the city, but she hopes that her children will have an open mind and are willing to listen. Heart, but also willing to make a little contribution.
In the distance, another tall boy who can no longer be called a carrot head was walking home with a bag on his back. When he saw Lin Qing and Lin Yu from a distance, he jumped up and greeted his brother loudly, and Lin Xiong jumped up and down too. Da Da rushed over, and shared what I learned today with my younger sisters.
"Today the teacher told me about the current communication technology. We have to make telegrams and send letters when we go to the county town, which is very troublesome. I hope that I can be a scientist in the future and develop tools that allow us to communicate even at long distances! " Lin Xiong said excitedly, Lin Yu looked at his brother with admiration and said those fantasies that made people feel "whimsical".
"Brother Axiong, you are really amazing..." Lin Qing adored her a little. Few of the children in Datong Village had such big "dreams" like her elder brother. Naive, after all, scientists and the like are too far away from the people in the village.
Shan Jingqiu looked at her child, feeling very proud in her heart, she couldn't help ruffling his hair, and said gently: "Then you have to work hard."
The moon is on the branches, and the night is getting dark. The backyard of the Lin family is full of happy words of the children and gentle answers from the mother...
In the bedroom, the window was closed viciously, and Sun Jinhua listened to the voice outside, muttering non-stop: "Why is it so noisy, it's time to rest and don't let the children rest, what nonsense mother! And Jianjun and his wife don't care about it!" Take care of the child, I don't know who the child will become!"
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became: "Every day, I find a bunch of people to come to the yard to talk! I don't know that it's not easy for the elderly to rest."
Sun Jinhua didn't expect that, in fact, every day is the time after dinner, and most of the time it is not noisy.
Lin Yaoxi sighed deeply, looking at her angry mother-in-law, she felt very helpless, it was all over, why she couldn't see clearly at all: "Jinhua, think about it yourself, who is raising her now?" You, who will take care of you every day?"
More than two years ago, Lin Jiandang, who had just graduated, actually found a girl in the city and stepped in. Before leaving, he took away all of Sun Jinhua's savings from the past few years. At that time, Sun Jinhua fell ill on the spot. , lingering on the sick bed, only recently.
And now the two of them are not entirely taken care of by Jingqiu and Qiuyun. Even the married Xinghua and even the Taohua who have not been in contact with each other for many years often come back to see when they hear about it, but their conscientious son does not even once. never came back.
Lin Yaoxi was also bitter in his heart, but he didn't understand why this woman still didn't understand at this day?
Sun Jinhua pursed her lips, clutched the quilt, and stared forward blankly, unable to relax for a long time, she just said blankly: "You don't understand."
As far as she could see, the can of malted milk essence was thrown by Taohua two days ago, and she left immediately; A few days ago, Xinghua made it back, with fine stitches and beautiful floral cloth; even the eldest daughter-in-law she pointed at her nose and scolded every day bought precious fruits...
But her most precious son, Jiandang, never came back...
Sun Jinhua lay down slowly, lying on her side with her back to her old man, her tears fell drop by drop on the pillow, she had never shed tears in her life, she killed that damn witch, she laughed, and sent her father-in-law away, She laughed, and even when she sent her eldest son away, she just howled a few times in a hypocritical manner, but now, she really cried to the point of breaking her heart.
Will she still not understand? she understands.
But if, once she admits that the youngest son she has been eagerly looking forward to has turned out to be a wolf-hearted white-eyed wolf, what will happen to her in this life? People say that there will be future blessings, but does she really have future blessings these days?
...
What a pain, what a pain she is!
What made an honest farmer who listened to his parents to make a living in the field suddenly want to follow the dealer to resell?
If it is said that there is no money, then it is not a day or two that this family has no money.
After all, before the separation, under Sun Jinhua's high-pressure control, let alone a penny, he couldn't even hide a grain of rice.
With no disease or disaster, how could Lin Jianguo inexplicably develop the ability to go out and resell to make money?
Not to mention that Yuanshen, who is logically closest to his wife, didn't know anything about it. If someone in the village hadn't seen Lin Jianguo lying on the ground with blood on his face on the way back to the village and brought him back, he might have disappeared outside.
If it wasn't for being taken back to the village suddenly like this, with a military uniform replaced by mountain goods in the small backpack on his body, even if he wanted to die, he probably wouldn't know that the husband who went out in the morning to talk to him about something had actually taken a day off with the brigade. What have you done.
Fortunately, Sun Jinshu, the younger brother of Sun Jinhua, from the honest and honest village, on the way back to the village, saw that the man lying on the side of the road was Lin Jianguo from his own village, so he hurried back to the village when he was out of breath Li told Sun Jinhua that after hearing the news, Yuanshen followed Sun Jinhua in a daze and saw her husband who had no signs of life—that’s how she saw the things in the basket that Sun Jinhua hastily packed up.
Of course, a person like Yuanshen wouldn't think much about it at all, she just complained in a daze about why her dead ghost husband went out, died outside for no apparent reason, leaving orphans and widows behind.
But the original body didn't understand, didn't Shan Jingqiu understand?
Isn't this casual military uniform used to replace those non-military uniforms when it prevails in special times?
Besides Lin Jiandang and Lin Xinghua, the only two who were sent to study, who in this family would need these things?
Although it is not surprising that Sun Jinhua can do anything with his virtue.
But Lin Yaoxi's face in the village is still very important to Sun Jinhua. After all, they are leaning against the big tree of Lin Yaodong to enjoy the shade. Sun Jinhua absolutely doesn't want to see the result of being discredited, otherwise her precious son Lin Jiandang If you want to go to the army to mix your identity or find a good job, it will be very difficult!
So to say that Shan Jingqiu was kicked out before Lin Jianguo was even buried seemed to be completely against Sun Jinhua's usual style of doing things.
And from the clues, Shan Jingqiu also had a little speculation.
Of course, all this needs to be confirmed.
***
Sun Jinhua looked at Shan Jingqiu in front of her as if she lost her mind, and an unknown fire arose in her heart.
According to her usual temperament, being scolded like this, her stupid eldest daughter-in-law would have cried to death long ago, wishing she could kneel down and apologize, but now that she looks so stupid, could it be that she was frightened stupid?
She couldn't help being a little entangled. Although many years ago, she began not to regard these mourners as her own children, but at least it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. impossible,
But if her daughter-in-law is not driven away, in case...
Thinking of this, she also became ruthless, she insisted on kicking this woman out today! As for the two young ones, let's keep busy with family affairs first.
Sun Jinhua ruthlessly pinched her own leg in a concealed direction, so she also cried heartbreakingly.
"My poor son, I was killed by your husband and daughter-in-law, and now I want to kill your whole family. She wants your mother to die. I shouldn't beg you for this dead daughter-in-law. I'm sorry for you, my Jianguo..."
People who don't know the truth about this sincere look will really think that this is a good mother who loves her son as much as her life.
Shan Jingqiu was condescending, but she was caught by this amusing little gesture.
The more Sun Jinhua behaves like this, the more certain she is of her guess, but compared to acting, she has the unique skill of pretending to cry.
"Jianguo, why did you leave? What are you going to do when you leave, mother? Jianguo, why did you leave our orphans and widows behind!" It seemed that Shan Jingqiu, who had been cold-eyed just now, suddenly tore his eyes away. Cried heartbrokenly, holding on to the wall with hands trembling as if unable to stand still.
Sun Jinhua was a little stymied, hearing the cries, she was momentarily overwhelmed by the limelight.
Who told her how could there be too much sincerity in her heart? Even if there is, it is gone under the benefit.
Before she could react, Shan Jingqiu pounced on Sun Jinhua, howling like a hungry tiger.
The food in Yuanshen's family has never been good, and Yuanshen is even more comparable to those bone spirits mentioned on the Internet in the previous life, but Sun Jinhua is different, fat and round, it is not easy at all in this difficult age.
Shan Jingqiu saw the right place, and slammed the protruding joints on Sun Jinhua's body, and covered up Sun Jinhua's painful cries under conditioned reflex with her heart-piercing crying, and why did Sun Jinhua not work all year round It was stronger than the strength of the original body working all the year round, and he was pressed hard for a long time and couldn't get up.
Feeling severe pain all over, Sun Jinhua, whose body was hit by the eldest daughter-in-law's bones and almost fell apart, was about to curse, but suddenly saw Li Cuihua, who had the biggest mouth, sneaking up on the door from Shan Jingqiu's slightly lowered head. While peeping up, he hurriedly suppressed the bunch of foul words.
"My poor son, you are just gone..."
Sun Jinhua burst into tears in a hurry, maybe she was fat, and her voice was so full of anger that she finally covered the voice of her daughter-in-law, but Sun Jinhua, who was about to throw out her next Kefu line, heard a single silence in her ears When Qiu Ke came over and said the words, he froze instantly.
Shan Jingqiu seized the time and leaned over, clung to Sun Jinhua's ear, whispering softly.
She knew she could hear.
"Mom, do you think others know that Lin Jiandang's mother's house is reselling things?"
Sun Jinhua immediately stiffened as if her mind had been captured, but she dared not stop crying as she looked away from Li Cuihua from the corner of her eye. Only she knew how much fear was hidden under that heart-piercing cry.
She, how did she know?
Did Jianguo tell her? impossible! How could he have the guts?
It's not worrying to die!
Obviously she was already crying heart-rendingly, but the faint voice still broke into Sun Jinhua's ears word by word.
"Mom, that's a casual military uniform. There's more than that in the back basket."
"Mom, how can you sell so much?"
"Do you think it will be fine if I report to our family?"
"Anyway, I'm a woman whose man has died. I'll remarry at worst. Last time I heard my brother-in-law say that killing relatives is popular in the city. I'm uneducated mother, what do you mean by that?"
Sun Jinhua cried until her throat was dry and she was still crying. Shan Jingqiu hugged her tightly, only she knew how much pain she was in.
But now how do I know whether it is the pain in the heart or the pain in the body.
She only knew that this matter was destined to have no happy ending!
Lin Xinghua and Li Cuihua, who stood by and watched all this, were almost in a daze.
Lin Xinghua didn't know why her mother, who was talking to herself just now before leaving the room, hugged her sister-in-law and cried because she had to drive her sister-in-law out today and make the house available for her.
Could it be... Could it be the ghost of the eldest brother?
Thinking of this, she frustrates her arms and feels chilly. She wants to shed some tears but can't for a long time.
