Chapter 43:
Su Family, not that Im saying this, but your sons are all useless.
Big Sister Ma was munching on a melon seed when spat it out and stared at Mother Su.
Mother Su has never suffered anything in her life. Even when her familys living conditions werent very good, she never suffered.
When she got married, her mother-in-law was still in good health, and she did not do any farm work except for giving birth and raising children. Even the pigs food was prepared by her husband, and she just carried the ladle to feed it.
Both the husband and the mother-in-law were good-tempered. Even though the whole village said Mother Su was a lazy woman, both the mother and son never even so much as scowled at Mother Su.
Later, when her mother-in-law died and her several children grew up, they followed their father to do housework. They were brainwashed by him all day, saying that their mother worked hard and it wasnt easy to give birth to them, so they had to honor their mother.
When he died, a few of the children joined the workforce and got married. She took on the role of mother-in-law, and her daughter-in-law took over from her father-in-law and continued to do the work at home.
Although her daughter-in-law wasnt happy, they were all women. Why should ones mother-in-law enjoy blessings when she was a wife, and continue to enjoy blessings when she becomes a mother-in-law?
Her husband wasnt helping her. In addition, there is a promising second son of the Su family, Su Yuyang, who is earning money in the city. The whole family has been waiting for him to benefit from his success.
How about getting in on the action? You now have to honor the Old Lady of the Su family! Otherwise, when Su Yuyang comes back next time, Mother Su would complain, and it would be the end of it for you. Not only would the money and things be gone, but if you want to ask him to do something in the future, he would just ignore you.
Mother Su then became the first decision holder in the village..
If she doesnt agree, then, even if Su Yuyang wanted to, he wouldnt do it.
As a result, Mother Su became an object of envy and fawning attention by the whole village.
In their village, there was only one capable person who got married, gave birth to a son, and took root in the city.
Although the villagers begged to curry favor with her, they still despise Mother Su deep inside, taking advantage of it and still not mentioning that they want to do anything more. When Su Yuyang fell, Mother Su lost her financial ability and could no longer help them. Thus, her status in the village plummeted.
She was so proud of herself, but she hasnt gone out often in the past two years. She lies at home all day, just humming in bed, and the distressed family all obeyed her even more.nove(l)bi(n.)com
In addition to the daughter-in-law of their family, the villagers heard that their family quarreled every other day. All of them were fights between their eldest son and his wife.
At these times, Mother Su would hide from home and wander around the village.
She gets annoyed when she hears that womans noisy attitude. Isnt it just doing some house work? Her mother-in-law washed clothes and cooked meals for a large family, and she didnt complain about anything.
Nowadays, there is a washing machine, a refrigerator and rice cooker. Its much easier to cook than back then, so why was she still not satisfied?! That woman deserves to be taught a lesson by her son. It was best to beat her up and make her obedient.
However, if she stayed at home when they fought, she cant stand by and watch. She was at least an elder, so when her younger ones fought, if she didnt stand up and pull them apart, her in-laws would think that its time to come to the door to ask for an explanation.
In the end, after only a few steps, she met Big Sister Ma, the woman with a big mouth.
No matter how bad my son is, hes still a successful one, much better than those bastards of yours!
Mother Su was very unhappy with Big Sister Ma. She was the fastest when taking advantage of them. Later, when it came to stepping on their family, she was the most diligent.
So, every time she saw Big Sister Ma, she cant wait to have a quarrel with her. It gives people indigestion!
Ha ha, my familys boys are not good, but they are all good at being filial. Compared with the boys in your family, getting rich and then disowning his poor relatives. Mine are so much better!
Being scolded by Mother Su, Big Sister Ma wasnt angry, but she laughed.
Rural people, how could they speak politely? Anyway, if you scold me, Ill scold you back. If you are angry, you need to stifle it? How unproductive.
Mother Su didnt care what she was looking at, and seized her clothes as soon as she stepped forward.
Tell you what? Dont you have eyes! Just look over there!
Ma Dajiaos heart was happy.
Hey, she didnt have to say, she couldnt stand the nagging. She had just told the old woman about Su Yuyang, and the man himself showed up in a car.
She didnt catch up with Su Yuyang that day, but she saw Su Yuyangs car.
Its exactly like this one! Thats right.
She wanted to see what Mother Sus reaction would be when she saw her son disowning her.
What are you looking at? Who hasnt seen a car before?
Mother Su has never seen such a beautiful car. Its brand new! Oh, if she gets one of these for her youngest son, her daughter-in-law wont be picking on her all the time and refuse to take her to live in the city, right?
Her second child wants to take her over, but that woman was reluctant. She likes her youngest son and daughter and lives with them. Its their blessing, but that cheapskate was still reluctant.
But all these, in front of Ma Dajiao, have to be covered up. Otherwise the b*tch would laugh at her again.
Look, whos driving the car?
Ma Dajiao was smug. Humph, lets see you being proud now. Youre going to get hit in the face by your own son, right?
Then Mother Su saw the car parked in front of her. She didnt know the person who got out of the car. He was dressed in bright clothes. Isnt one of the big shots in the city, right? Aiyo What is he doing standing in front of them? Asking for directions?
Mother, its me. Yuyang.
Su Yuyang tidied up his clothes, stood in front of Mother Su and spoke.
People here grew up calling their parents Ma, and those who werent close were called Mother, such as his younger brother, his siblings and the youngest sister.
The ones who are closer, called them Ma or Niang.
(TNote: [Shen-er] = Mother, but it gives off the feeling of calling your mother Maam, or Auntie. [Ma] = Mom/Mommy. [Niang] = Mom/Mother.)
Su Yuyang used to call her Mom and felt so fashionable and close.
But now
Yuyang?
Mother Su was stunned. It was her son Yuyang? But it doesnt look like that. No, it looks like that, but the whole spirit of the person was different, and the name he called her was different.
Hey! Yes, its Yuyang. Yuyangs Mom, how come you dont even know your own son? Is it some kind of dementia?
Ma Dajiao was enjoying the drama, and her voice was frighteningly loud. It soon attracted many people to come and watch.
The Su familys boy, Su Yuyang, was someone they all knew. They had forgotten when the whole village drove him away, but they remembered how generous Su Yuyang was to them.
Su Yuyang is back, and hes driving such a shiny compact car! How rich must he be?
Its a great thing that the Su familys boy has made a success of himself! They can all get their share!
