Chapter 115

That tone and expression were simply full of joy.

The pride that emanated from her heart made Wang Limei seem to glow. She dared to say that she had never felt so proud in her life.

She talked all the way as she walked, without anyone asking her, she just told everyone she met.

Now, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun haven't even entered the slum yet, and everyone in the alley who came out to pay New Year's greetings will probably know about it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Meishu brought her lover to her parents' home.

Jiang Meishu's smile was so stiff in the back that it was almost stiff. It wasn't until she went inside that she whispered to Liang Qiurun, "My mom was so happy to see me come back so unexpectedly today."

Liang Qiurun smiled gently, "I understand."

The voice is also neither hurried nor slow.

This actually eased Jiang Meishu's embarrassment.

"sister."

Before she even entered the door, the nerd Jiang Nanfang ran out holding a book.

"Why are you back on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" He said with a rare excitement, "Mom said you could only come back on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

He was disappointed for a long time.

I thought, my sister is getting married, so how come we are no longer a family?

Jiang Meishu raised her hand and touched Jiang Nanfang's head. She had only been married for a short time, and this young man was already almost half a head taller than her.

It really looks like a bamboo joint, rising from the ground.

She smiled, a hint of joy in her eyes. "I want to go back to my own home. Do I need to pick a date?"

“It’s not like you can just go back whenever you want.”

Only because Liang Qiurun was here did Jiang Meishu dare to make such big talk.

If she had married someone else, she wouldn't be so arrogant.

To put it bluntly, it was Liang Qiurun who spoiled him.

Jiang Nanfang didn't understand these things, but Wang Limei did. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at her little girl.

She has an oval face, rosy complexion, fair skin, two dimples when she smiles, and a light and clean expression between her brows without a trace of wrinkles.

It's obvious that they are living a good life after marriage.

You can tell from this face.

Whether you are worried or not, whether your life is good or not, your face can show everything.

Wang Limei was happy to see her daughter doing well. "You guys can talk here. Come home for lunch. I'll fry you a plate of pork belly. I guarantee you'll be full of it."

For ordinary people, this is simply the best hospitality.

Jiang Meishu said, "Don't rush. It's only nine o'clock. It's still a long time before lunch."

"Let's talk first."

She held Wang Limei's arm and looked at her carefully, unwilling to look away. "Mom, I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Wang Limei's eyes welled up when she heard this. "You kid."

She didn't want to cry on New Year's Day, so she forced back her tears. "It's only been a week. How can it feel like a long time?"

My little girl came back and gave me a New Year gift before the New Year.

Jiang Meishu murmured, "But I feel like it's been a long time."

In her original body's memory, she spent every year with her parents. This year was an exception. After getting married, she moved to the Liang family. The Liang family's house was large, the food was excellent, and the bed was also very big.

My in-laws are also very nice.

But there is a feeling that I can’t describe, I always feel empty inside.

It seems like something is missing.

It was not until she returned home that her empty heart slowly felt filled.

Wang Limei held her hand and said nothing.

The mother and daughter just stared at each other.

Liang Qiurun, who was standing next to him, called Jiang Nanfang out and took Jiang Chenliang out with him.

"Dad, is your arm feeling better?"

Outside under the eaves.

Liang Qiurun handed a cigarette to Jiang Chenliang and showed his concern.

At that time, Jiang Chenliang's arm had been broken for a long time.

Jiang Chenliang took the cigarette, Liang Qiurun bent down and lit it for him in one go.

Jiang Chenliang was still a little reserved, but after taking a puff of cigarette, he felt elated.

As a result, the restraint also dissipated a little.

"Not bad."

Jiang Chenliang waved his left arm. "The plaster has been removed. The doctor said I can't do any weight-bearing exercises for now. I need to rest for a while. Let's see how I perform in the future."

When Liang Qiurun heard this, he was silent for a while. After a while, he said with some apology, "I'm really sorry."

Jiang Chenliang waved his hand nonchalantly, puffing away smoke. "How can I blame you for this? I asked them at the time, and they said it was caused by an evil wind blowing from behind. You dealt with it afterwards and paid compensation."

He laughed and said, "Qiu Run, let me say something I shouldn't say. I even think it's good that my arm is broken."

"If it weren't for the broken bones, how could I have taken three months of paid leave? If it weren't for the broken bones, I would never have been able to eat so much and such good meat in my life."

In order to compensate the victim, Liang Qiurun came to deliver pork ribs and pork belly several times.

For Jiang Chenliang, the last time he ate meat was in 1958. At that time, he was young and his mother raised a pig under the old locust tree in the courtyard.

I was raised like that, and when Chinese New Year came, we killed him and ate the meat. There was so much meat, and it smelled so good.

It never happened again after that.

When Liang Qiurun heard what Jiang Chenliang said, he sighed slightly. Seeing that his cigarette was finished in a few puffs, he lit another one for him.

After seeing Jiang Chenliang draw the gun, he said slowly, "Father, your arm is injured. I'm afraid you can't work in the front-line pig slaughtering workshop anymore, right?"

When this question is asked.

The skin on Jiang Chenliang's face suddenly tightened, and he even stopped smoking. "I can still butcher pigs. Although my hands can't exert as much strength as before, I still have the dexterity and skills. There's no one in the entire workshop who can butcher pigs better than me."

He thought Liang Qiurun was fed up with him and wanted to fire him!

That won’t do. He inherited this job of butchering pigs from his father and he can’t lose it.

This is a stable job.

Liang Qiurun looked at his nervous expression and paused before explaining, "I don't mean to fire you. I just want to give you a job that's easier."

"ah?"

Jiang Chenliang was a little dumbfounded.

"Isn't this a bit bad?"

The whole Jiang family is honest people. Even though his father-in-law became the director of a meat processing plant, Jiang Chenliang never used Liang Qiurun's name to do things outside.

Not to mention, asking Liang Qiurun to change his job.

Liang Qiurun explained to him, "It's not a backdoor."

"The factory has had this kind of preferential treatment before. Any employee who has made sacrifices for the factory has the opportunity to transfer to another position."

He thought for a moment and said, "If you want to change your job now, the first place you can go is the Security Department."

The security department has an easier job, and they are responsible for security all day long. If they encounter troublemakers, they just need to step in to resolve the situation.

Jiang Chenliang shook his head. "At my age, if I went to the security department, I wouldn't be able to fight, and I wouldn't be able to endure it. That wouldn't work. Absolutely not."

And what he didn't say is that the security department is not a technical department.

He is at least a master in the workshop, with more than 20 or 30 apprentices. Anyone who meets him will respectfully call him "Master".

Liang Qiurun, "Then there is the Quality Inspection Department."

"The quality inspection department goes to the workshop every day to check the pork slaughtered that day. They also verify the integrity of the pork slaughtered. If there are any incomplete parts, they will report them immediately."

Killing pigs is a lucrative job.

Otherwise, why would everyone be scrambling to get a job at the meat processing plant?

It's just that those who are close to the water get the moon first. If you kill a pig, you can secretly hide a piece of fat, even if it's only the size of a palm.

It is also enough to improve the lives of the whole family.

After all, pork is in limited supply these days. If you don't have any connections and rely on the meat coupons supplied every year, you will be so greedy that you will die.

As soon as Liang Qiurun said this, Jiang Chenliang was immediately moved, but still a little hesitant.

"If I worked in the quality inspection department, I would be on the opposite side of everyone in the workshop."

This is the truth.

Quality inspection, quality inspection.

This in itself is a thankless task.

Since Liang Qiurun proposed this position, he must have a reason.

"So, it depends on your choice."

He pinched his brows with a headache, "You know, I've only been at the meat processing plant for less than half a year, and I'm still not clear about many things going on there."

"I'm in a high position, but the people below me pretend to obey me, but they actually disobey me." Liang Qiurun sighed softly, a hint of fatigue evident between his brows. "I've been really exhausted lately."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Jiang Chenliang compromised, "No, isn't it just going to the Quality Inspection Department? I'll go."

"As long as I can help you, you can arrange me as you like."

What's the point of offending his former coworkers? They were all outsiders. Compared to them, Liang Qiurun was his son-in-law.

Speaking of which, Liang Qiurun is his own person.

Liang Qiurun showed weakness because he wanted this result, but he was a scheming man and did not show it on his face. He even had some difficulties in mind for Jiang Chenliang.

"But if you become a quality inspector, you'll probably end up falling out with your former colleagues."

Jiang Chenliang said very honestly, "If they don't do anything, I won't fall out with them, but if they do."

"Then don't blame me for reporting the truth."

This was exactly what Liang Qiurun wanted to hear. Seeing that Jiang Chenliang's cigarette was almost out, he lit another one for him. After watching Jiang Chenliang start smoking, he said slowly, "Thank you so much, father."

"Without you, my journey would be very difficult."

Jiang Chenliang patted his chest as he said this. "You've just arrived at our factory, so it's normal that you don't know the complicated connections here. I'll be your spy from now on."

"I'll tell you what happened down there."

If he doesn't take care of his own son-in-law, will he take care of others?

This was exactly what Liang Qiurun wanted to hear. He nodded with a smile, "Dad, thank you so much."

Jiang Chenliang didn't know that he had sold himself out with just a few words from Liang Qiurun.

However, it doesn’t matter if you know it.

After all, Liang Qiurun is his son-in-law.

inside the house.

While Liang Qiurun and Jiang Chenliang were talking, Wang Limei was also listening attentively, and heard the two of them go out for a walk.

She then asked Jiang Meishu, "Did you talk to Qiu Run and ask him to find your dad a less stressful job?"

Jiang Meishu was bewildered, "No."

"Then why would he think of giving your dad an easier job?" This is also what Wang Limei has been worried about. Her husband's wrist is injured. Even if the injury heals, he will definitely not be able to exert as much strength as before.

However, Jiang Chenliang is the head pig butcher in the workshop.

When he returns to his original post, he is afraid that his injured hand may not be saved.

Jiang Meishu shook her head. She thought about it and said uncertainly, "Maybe Lao Liang has his own considerations?"

She never mentioned family matters to Lao Liang.

When Wang Limei heard this, she looked at her daughter. She had a round, fair face, picturesque eyebrows and eyes. She was truly beautiful.

She said almost without thinking, "Isn't it because Qiu Run loves me so much that he loves my dog?"

If Liang Qiurun hadn't fallen in love with his own daughter, how could he have considered her and her family's affairs?

When Jiang Meishu heard this, she was stunned. A long time ago, she had a guess whether Liang Qiurun liked her.

She also asked.

But the other party never gave a direct answer.

But if you think about it carefully, although Liang Qiurun never said that he liked her, every gesture of his showed that he liked her.

The fabrics that I don't mind bringing back from business trips.

Deliberately letting the opponent win when playing cards.

Even her family members were taken care of individually and silently.

All of this will point to one thing.

That is - Liang Qiurun likes her.

Jiang Meishu was very aware of the fact that Liang Qiurun liked her.

This made her heart palpitate slightly, but she soon regained her composure.

She was more curious.

Why does Liang Qiurun like her?

Do you like her greedy?

Do you like her laziness?

Or do you like her lack of ambition?

Jiang Meishu couldn't understand it, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She ate the oranges her mother peeled for her. The oranges were sour and sweet, but they made her teeth feel cold when she ate them in the cold winter.

She narrowed her eyes, took a breath, and joked, "Mom, maybe Liang Qiurun feels sorry for our family?"

Wang Limei looked at her and felt that her little girl had such a pretty face that it was a waste.

"There are so many poor people in the compound, so many in the meat processing plant, people who have it harder than ours, why don't you see Qiu Run showing sympathy to others?"

"It's all because of you." Wang Limei was so disappointed with her that she raised her finger and pointed at her forehead. "Qiu Run is such a good man. No matter why you married him in the first place, just put your worries aside and live a good life."

Speaking of this.

Wang Limei looked at Jiang Meishu's belly obscurely, "You've been married for two months, and there's still no movement in your belly?"

This actually means the beginning of pregnancy!

Jiang Meishu was helpless and didn't even eat the oranges. "Mom, I've only been married for two months, why are you so anxious? My sister has been married for six months and she's not pregnant yet. Why don't you seem anxious?"

"That's different."

"Your sister told me that her financial situation is not good right now and she wants to save more money before getting pregnant. But what about you? The Liang family you married into is so well-off. They have a big house to live in, chickens, ducks, fish and meat to eat, and they live such a good life. If you don't have a child to raise, you're really wasting such good conditions."

Jiang Meishu said nothing.

Silently peel the white veins on the outside of the orange, tearing them off bit by bit.

After a long while, when Wang Limei thought she would not answer.

Jiang Meishu then said slowly, "I live a good life, not to have a baby."

"If you're not getting married to have a baby, why are you getting married? And you're wasting Qiu Run's time? Isn't that immoral?"

When Wang Limei got angry, she even scolded her own daughter.

Jiang Meishu was not annoyed. She blinked and blinked again, "Mom, have you ever thought that Liang Qiurun didn't want a child?"

"What?"

Wang Limei was suddenly shocked, "Qiu Run doesn't want a child?"

"Why?"

In the eyes of Wang Limei, who has experienced this, there is no man in the world who doesn't want a child.

After all, if she doesn't want him to give birth to a child or raise her, she can get a descendant with the same surname as him for free.

Which man can refuse?

Jiang Meishu peeled the orange and stuffed another piece into her mouth. As expected, it made her grimace. "Why? He just doesn't want children."

"I can't have a baby on my own anyway, so you can't just push me."

"If you want to urge him, go and urge him."

She doesn't want to bear all the pressure alone.

How could Wang Limei dare to urge Liang Qiurun?

"There are only two situations when a man doesn't want children: first, he already has children, and second, he can't."

"Which type do you think Qiu Run is?"

Jiang Meishu said vaguely, "It's both."

"I was told." Wang Limei was furious. "How could Director Liang, who has such a good marriage, marry someone from a small family like ours? It turns out he's not good enough."

"He can't. How can you live if you can't have your own children?"

On a good day, without kids, that's half the fun.

Not to mention, she has a stepson. When her daughter passes away, she will have no biological child to support her.

The stepson carried his biological mother to Liang Qiurun and put her in a coffin.

Then what is her daughter?

A wandering ghost?

Thinking of this, Wang Limei couldn't sit still anymore, "No, you can't do this."

"Go ask Qiu Run what's going on. Is he incompetent, or does he not want children? If it's both, life will be unbearable. While you're still young, get a divorce and find someone who can have children. Otherwise, you'll waste the rest of your life, take a detour, and suffer."

This is advice from someone who has been through it all. For Wang Limei, she has seen too many of these things.

The man cannot give birth, but he still ties the woman to his house and makes her work like a slave. In the end, he is scolded as a hen that doesn't lay eggs.

Even in this situation, the man still doesn't allow the woman to divorce.

But if it is a woman’s turn to be unable to have children, that would be a disaster.

The man divorced the woman immediately, and wanted to kick her out of the house immediately.

That's what a man is.

Realistic and ruthless.

People used to scold her, but now she is a whore and still pretends to be a virtuous woman.

In Wang Limei's opinion, this man is even more shameless than a bitch when he becomes shameless.

Calling him a bitch is an insult to a bitch.

Wang Limei naturally didn't want what she had seen to happen to her daughter. "Don't dwell on Qiu Run's well-off family. Even if they're well-off, if they can't have children, what good are they?"

Jiang Meishu, "..."

"My dad is counting on Lao Liang to change his job. If I divorce him, will he still be able to change his job?"

Wang Limei paused, her expression complicated, as if she was hesitant, but also as if she had made up her mind.

"If you don't want to change it, then don't. At worst, your father will go to the workshop to slaughter pigs, and he will only lose an arm at most. If you continue to be with Liang Qiurun, you will lose the rest of your life for decades."

At this point, Wang Limei advised earnestly, "Go and ask him clearly and discuss it with him. If it doesn't work out, then divorce him. You can remarry while you're still young."

Jiang Meishu, "..."

Liang Qiurun walked around with his father-in-law and coaxed him into submission, "?"

He just coaxed his father-in-law.

When he came back this time, he heard his mother-in-law instigating his lover to divorce and remarry?

How can we live like this?

Liang Qiurun stood at the door, not knowing whether to go in or not.

Wang Limei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Meishu, "Mom, can you look behind?"

Wang Limei looked back and saw Liang Qiurun standing at the door.

She was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, but soon she was confident.

This concerns her daughter's future life, so she must be tough, and not only tough, but also cut the Gordian knot.

"Qiu Run, you're back?"

Wang Limei always greeted Liang Qiurun with a smile every time she saw him before, but this time, the smile on her face was particularly serious.

"Come here and let's talk."

Liang Qiurun actually only understood half of what he heard. He didn't understand why his mother-in-law, who had always welcomed him, suddenly rejected him?

He thought for a moment, then stepped into the Jiang family's doorway. "Mother, is there anything I haven't done well enough?"

Wang Limei went straight to the point, "I just asked my daughter why she doesn't have any children yet."

"She said, 'Is it that you don't want children? Or do you not want children?'

this--

Jiang Meishu didn't expect that her mother would ask it so directly.

She tugged at Wang Limei's sleeve awkwardly and whispered, "Mom."

"Can we talk about it in private?" This also involves Liang Qiurun's privacy. She can't say it publicly, nor can she tell anyone.

Wang Limei, "Don't call me mom. If I don't figure out what happened today, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a good year."

Liang Qiurun was silent for a moment before he replied, "Mother, before Xiao Jiang and I got married, we agreed that we wouldn't have children."

Wang Limei stood up suddenly. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She turned to look at Jiang Meishu and asked with a piercing look, "Did you promise him all this before we got married?"

How come she doesn't know anything about this?

Under her mother's pressure, Jiang Meishu nodded and quietly defended herself, "I only married Lao Liang because he didn't have children, Mom."

"I'm a child myself, why do you want me to give birth to something?"

Jiang Meishu always feels like she is only eighteen.

How does she become a mother?

"You, you?" Wang Limei was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She bit her teeth and blurted out words bit by bit. "You are so stupid. You are so young and you don't have children. What will you do when you are old?"

Jiang Meishu, "I have money and a house."

She said frankly, "If Liang Rui has a conscience, he will naturally come to the hospital to see me. If he has no conscience, won't my sister and I have to give birth? Then I can let my nephew or niece visit me."

Wang Limei, "You're talking nonsense."

On New Year's Day, she was so angry she swore, "You can't even count on your own child, how can you count on someone else's? Jiang Mei, Lan, are you crazy?"

Jiang Meishu was scolded so badly that her face turned pale, but she said nothing.

Liang Qiurun frowned and stood in front of Jiang Meishu.

He looked directly at Wang Limei and said in a calm yet forceful voice, "Mom, whether or not to have children is our own business."

"It's none of your business."

These words were indeed strong and merciless.

Wang Limei's blood boiled with anger. "How can it have nothing to do with me?" She grabbed Jiang Meishu and brought her over, pointing at her. "She's my daughter, the daughter I carried for ten months and gave birth to. Is it not okay for me to worry about her future? I'm her biological mother, and I can't control her?"

Liang Qiurun frowned and raised his hand to knock it away. Wang Limei pointed at Jiang Meishu's hand and said in great displeasure, "Mother, please speak politely and don't touch me."

"As for having children, whether or not to have them, and when, that's our business. We'll consider and decide on our own, and we'll let you know when the time comes."

“You just have to accept it.”
