if there’s anything, you can say it slowly. You don’t have to make a fuss about severing ties as soon as you come up.
It was still late summer, and the weather in Harbor City was neither hot nor cold. After grandma got up, she turned on the incandescent light in the living room, picked up the kettle, and began to make tea. Grandpa lit a pipe and tried to understand the actual situation of his daughter’s late-night visit.
Liang meijuan shook her head. I don’t want to talk about it now. Eldest brother and sister-in-law will be here in a while.
“You also called them?” His grandfather asked.
I originally wanted to go to their house to reason with them, but old Chen was worried that something might happen, so he suggested that we talk here. You guys can be the judge.
Liang meijuan said stiffly.
Grandpa nodded. He knew his daughter’s temper. Fortunately, his son-in-law had a gentle personality and knew how to strategize when faced with a problem.
“However, what exactly made third brother so angry?”
Grandpa guessed in his heart.
At this moment, her grandmother placed two cups of tea down. She sat quietly beside her, looking at her daughter and then at her son-in-law.
Not long after, the sound of walking could be heard from outside the door. First uncle and first aunt also lived in the countryside, only five minutes away from grandpa’s house.
The night in the countryside was very quiet, so he could still hear his first aunt’s complaint. what’s wrong with Liang meijuan in the middle of the night? why can’t we talk about it tomorrow? ”
After the two of them entered, first aunt immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking when she saw Liang meijuan’s cold face.
Now that everyone was here, Liang meijuan finally began to explain.
I gave Chen hansheng a call tonight. I wanted to ask about little hai’s situation.
Liang meijuan glanced at her first aunt. Chen hansheng is in the University anyway. He has a cafeteria and a dormitory, so I don’t have to worry too much. On the other hand, I don’t know how little hai is doing. He doesn’t even enter rocket 101.
No one doubted this. Liang xiaohai was Liang meijuan’s nephew, so it was normal for an aunt to care about her nephew.
that was when Chen and I found out that rocket 101 went bankrupt a few days ago.
Liang meijuan looked a little sad. hansheng has been very independent since he was young. We didn’t know when rocket 101 was founded, and we didn’t know when it closed down. In short, he’s always been alone.
When Grandpa, grandma, eldest uncle, and eldest aunt heard this news, they all looked at each other in shock.
The influence of rocket 101 had always been in the domestic universities, but it was rarely seen in daily life, let alone in the countryside. So, they only knew that Chen hansheng had started a business. The television reports were quite good, and it had once become the pride of the family.
She didn’t expect it to close down so quickly, but first aunt was also puzzled. What did this have to do with her?
I heard that the company went bankrupt, so I asked him if he had any debts. Actually, from my perspective, it’s more practical to study than to start a business. If he has any debts, old Chen and I can help him pay them off, and he can also focus on studying.
“Chen hansheng said it wasn’t a problem and even praised Liang xiaohai and his girlfriend for being very enthusiastic,” Liang meijuan continued.
Liang meijuan paused. First aunt didn’t realize at first. Wasn’t Liang xiaohai single? how could he have a girlfriend?
Then, he thought about it again and realized that this girlfriend should be the girl from another province who had asked for the ” 100000 Yuan ” betrothal gift.
and then? how passionate are they? ”
His first uncle treated it as a story and even urged his sister to continue.
“They said!”
Liang meijuan gritted her teeth and said, ” if hansheng wants to borrow money, he can. But if he’s hungry, he can go to the factory and look for them. It’s not a problem to give them a few meals.
The central room instantly fell silent. Everyone understood what was going on. These words were too mean.
“Old Chen and I are not dead yet.”
Liang meijuan was very agitated. what do they mean by this? if old Chen and I were still alive, would they have made Chen hansheng beg for food? ”
His first uncle looked embarrassed, and his first aunt glared at him. He was here to find trouble, but you still asked him stupidly.
After a moment of awkwardness, Grandpa knocked on his pipe and said, ” maybe little hai wanted to help, but the meaning he expressed was different. He stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. He is also a straightforward person, far less talkative than hansheng.
“Yes, yes. Maybe the child said something wrong.”
Grandpa didn’t say anything, and first aunt knew she was in the wrong, so she didn’t say anything. When Grandpa spoke, she quickly echoed, ” besides, we didn’t acknowledge her as our girlfriend. Liang xiaohai will definitely not marry her.
that’s it? Liang xiaohai is Chen hansheng’s cousin!
When Liang meijuan heard her grandfather’s explanation, she suddenly quieted down and stared at her father in a daze.
Chen Zhaojun didn’t think it was good. His wife was about to get angry. He was about to comfort her, but Liang meijuan suddenly cried.
Old Chen was flustered and distressed, and he quickly helped his wife wipe her tears. Liang meijuan pushed her husband’s hands away and casually wiped them dry herself. I’ve never been loved since I was young, but I’ll admit it. I have two older brothers above me and a younger sister below me. I’m the one who’s the least cared for. I understand all of this.
I used to be poor, so I had a chance to kill a chicken for my brother during the new year. I could only eat chicken feet, but you said that I could stand straight after eating chicken feet …
In fact, this situation was very common. The poorer the family in Northern su, the more they valued men over women. Liang meijuan was still a girl in the middle, so naturally, she did not receive any attention.
In the future, as the average quality of the people improved, this tradition would change.
For example, Xiao Hongwei and Lu Yuqing, the two regular university students, did not have such thoughts at all. Old Xiao really cared about Xiao rongyu, and ” Princess Xiao ” was a real title.
Chen Zhaojun felt that Liang meijuan was digressing and couldn’t help but remind her, “”Why are you saying all this? there’s no need to bring up the past.”
“No, I must mention it.”
Liang meijuan decided to just let it go.
Grandpa and Grandma were a little silent. First uncle didn’t know what to say either. This younger sister in the middle was indeed having a harder time. First aunt didn’t think much of it, as if everyone had gone through this before.
you said that eating chicken feet will make me run far. Then I’ll just run with my head down.
Liang meijuan was lost in her memories. after I graduated from high school, I worked in a state-owned cotton mill while I insisted on attending night classes. After I got my diploma, it just so happened that the personnel Bureau was recruiting, so I signed up. Sister sun, who was in charge, saw that I was more diligent, so she picked one of the remaining positions for me.
so, I ran from the countryside to the city. It was in the Human Resources Bureau that I met old Chen.
Liang meijuan glanced at Chen Zhaojun, and her expression softened. after that, Chen hansheng was born. Although he wasn’t obedient at all and often made me angry, I only had one son.
it’s fine as long as I understand what happened in the past. But why should Chen hansheng still have to suffer such vexation? ”
after I married old Chen, ” Liang meijuan questioned, ” although I moved from the countryside to the city, did I forget about my family’s matters? ”
“We pay for cigarettes every New Year and Festival. Have we ever lacked money?”
“Which of our relatives needs our help? did old Chen and I ever reject it?”
Liang xiaohai went on a blind date, Chen hansheng came back from the school hundreds of kilometers away, and there were only a few Zhonghua cigarettes left. Did we argue about that? ”
Liang meijuan and old Chen belonged to a typical mid to late-to-late rich family. When they were young, their conditions were very ordinary. However, after Chen hansheng entered junior high school, their material conditions became more and more relaxed. Some of their relatives went to the city to do business, and they could still help.
At the end of her sentence, Liang meijuan slammed the table. “It’s not like you guys don’t know Chen hansheng’s temper. If it was anyone else who said that, Liang xiaohai would have been slapped a few times.”
“Liang meijuan, watch your words. What do you mean Liang xiaohai will be slapped? who dares to move?”
First aunt was angry at Liang xiaohai for being so stupid, but she could not tolerate him talking about her son like that.
Next, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law began to argue out of habit. Chen Zhaojun rubbed his temple helplessly. He was a little suspicious of his wife’s motives.
Chen hansheng’s incident was just a prelude. Liang meijuan seemed to want to talk about all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
“But I still support it!”
Chen Zhaojun smoked his cigarette with an honest face, but in his heart, he thought,”if my son is wronged, I’ll speak up for him. If my wife is wronged, I’ll stand up for her.”
We, old Chen, are not afraid of anyone!
