Chapter 034: [Xu Chunmei ran away]
Hearing the sound, the old lady who came out of the room looked at her son, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that something happened to your second sister, right?"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll listen to the phone and I'll talk to you in detail when I come back." Xu Jianjun said, carrying a coat and then went out.
Xu Ning originally wanted to go to Xie Zheng's side, but he didn't rush to go out when he saw this. He would wait for his father to come back and listen to the follow-up.
Xu Jianjun came back more than ten minutes later, and his face looked very bad when he came back.
"What's wrong?" the old lady asked, pulling her son's arm.
After hesitating for a while, Xu Jianjun sighed softly and said, "After my second sister returned home, she still had two children and ran away."
"..." The old lady fell silent, and soon her sharp voice swept through the room, "What's wrong with running away?"
Running? What are you running? Where are you running? Why run?
The old lady had a series of words to ask, and she was so dizzy that she was shocked by this news.
Xu Jianjun hurriedly helped the old lady back to the house and sat down. Qin Xuejuan followed in with a look of worry. Xu Ning wanted to enter the house, but Qin Xuejuan was blocked by a look of her eyes. However, she did not leave. She raised her foot and came to the old lady's room and stood by the window in the yard to listen. Anyway, the window was open, and the voice was heard clearly even if it was a little light.
"Jun, tell me what happened to your second sister."
"The call was from Uncle Liu, saying that after his second sister came home, he gave them 200 yuan to send my brother-in-law to the city for medical treatment. As a result, when Aunt Liu came home at noon, she found that my second sister was not at home. She didn't take it seriously at that time. It was not until my second sister was about to go back. She felt something was wrong and asked Niu Niu. Niu Niu said that my second sister took advantage of the inactivity of Uncle Liu and the others who took my brother-in-law to the hospital and packed up a few clothes and left. She also asked Niu Niu to bring a message to Aunt Liu, saying that she went to work in the city."
When the old lady heard this, her face changed suddenly. She slapped the small table beside the kang, scaring Xu Ning, who was guarded outside the window, trembling with fear.
"This ignorant girl really wants to piss me off so much. She lent her money to her to see her legs for men. She was so good that she lost her head and ran away without even caring about the child?"
Of course, this is second-hand. If the in-laws think that their daughter dislikes their son for having broken legs and wants to get rid of their son, this matter will be a big deal.
"Mom, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu said we were asking us to go to Houtang County home and have a face-to-face conversation." This is the focus of today's phone call.
But the old lady was troubled by this sentence.
She had never gone out far. When she was a child, she was a daughter who never left the door. Not to mention leaving the house, she could hardly even leave her own room.
Later, when I married Mr. Xu, I could walk around, but I rarely leave the village.
Now that she is asked to go to Houtang County a hundred miles away, it is really unlikely that she can not be afraid.
However, now that this happened to her daughter, she had to go if she didn't go. Thinking about her daughter's marriage for so many years, she only came back twice. This time she borrowed money. Last time she celebrated her birthday many years ago. To put it carefully, the daughter was no different from being given to the Liu family. She really had to make a detailed theory that the son-in-law had never been filial to her for a day. Now if something happened, she had to let her run far away to make trouble. She felt uncomfortable.
Now it is not as good as before. When a daughter gets married, she has nothing to do with her parents' family. The old saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. According to this statement, the son-in-law Liu Yongtao is also an ungrateful wolf.
During the first month of the year, the son-in-law takes his wife and children to see his mother-in-law. Has their family visited him once?
Of course, even if she feels uncomfortable, the old lady still has to go. After all, Xu Chunmei is her own daughter. Now that something happened in her in-laws' house, she can't argue if she doesn't go.
After listening to the whole story, Xu Ning was speechless.
This sister-in-law in her family is really awesome. This is for freedom, and she can even give up her husband and children.
If this kind of thing is put on Xu Ning, she would not be able to guarantee that she could make any decision.
Just imagine, if your husband is not in a straightforward way, can you really devote all your remaining years to the other party? If the relationship is firm, it is understandable, but if there is not much love between the couple, it may be a torture.
Xu Ning doesn’t know how much love does my sister-in-law and her husband have? What if my sister-in-law really wants to work in the city to make money?
According to her idea, now that my uncle's leg is broken, he can't make money. He has two children at home. If my sister-in-law doesn't make money, the family can only wait to drink the northwest wind.
However, Xu Ning has to say that this is what she said from the standpoint of Xu Chunmei's relatives. If Xu Chunmei really has a clear conscience, there is no need for her to leave secretly. As long as she carefully explains the current situation of the family to her family, can the Liu family's in-laws really see that their eldest son's family cannot be broken and will not let Xu Chunmei go out to make money?
"When will I go?" The old lady finally compromised and sighed a long time, her voice dull and desolate.
According to her age, she should be at home at her age and enjoy her grandchildren.
But her life was too hard. Her husband, whom she liked, died early. Her two sons died in the battlefield. A daughter was starved to death in the pile of firewood outside the village. When she found it, she was gnawed by a mouse. Only such a daughter and one son were left. She thought life was better now and she didn't need to worry. Unexpectedly, her daughter, who had not been in contact for many years, gave her such a "big gift". While she was embarrassed, she also felt that her face was damaged. It was really hard to accept.
Xu Jianjun naturally felt sorry for the old lady. He said in a muffled voice: "It's better for me to go there. Mom, you are old, so don't go far."
"Can I not go?" The old lady's drooping eyelids suddenly glared, "If I don't go, will the two old guys poke my back on my back?"
Feeling that the conversation was almost done inside, Xu Ning didn't continue to listen to the corner of the wall, so he raised his foot to Xie Zheng's house.
Xu Ning was not distracted by the family affairs, and even if she wanted to help, she couldn't help. Why bother causing trouble? If this family had to count on her, the Xu family would probably be out of nowhere.
When he arrived at Xie Zheng's room, Xu Ning saw Grandma Gao holding several colors of cloth on Xie Zheng's body. When she saw Xu Ning coming in, she warmly asked her to find a place to sit.
"Is this going to make new clothes?" Xu Ning asked.
"Your brother has a lot of clothes. This is for your grandson of Grandpa Jiang's comrade-in-arms. After he was admitted to university, the family's conditions were not good. He had to have two sets of decent clothes when he went out. I asked someone to make two sets of clothes." Gao Xiulan said happily.
