Zhou family courtyard.
"Get out, get out, all of you, you bastards who were born by your mother but not raised by her. Instead of staying at home and sleeping peacefully in the middle of the night, you go to other people's homes to smoke, drink, play cards, and yell and disturb others. Do you have any manners as a human being?"
Mother Zhou was already furious with her second son in the afternoon, and now she was even more furious because her third son brought back a bunch of bad friends.
It would be fine if I couldn't do anything about my second son.
She still has the upper hand over her third son, who is usually uneducated.
Zhou Xingle was shocked by his mother's sudden intrusion, and then he started scolding her in front of all his friends without thinking twice.
I suddenly felt embarrassed.
He fought back angrily, "Mom, you are really too much. We live in a small alley, not by the sea. You are really nosy. No wonder my second brother doesn't come home. You are the one who should reflect on this family the most."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou's mother seemed to explode. She swung the broom in the corner and rushed towards Zhou Xingle.
A few friends saw this situation.
He quickly slipped along the wall and ran away.
"Mom, you can't be so partial. It's okay if my second brother disobeys you, but don't take it out on me and Xingle. It's not fair!"
Zhou's mother was so angry that she was panting. "I am the head of the family, I have the final say, Meimei, you two are not worthy of being compared with your second brother. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves? What kind of moral character are you. Zhou Xingle, you are an unfilial thing. I begged and pleaded for you to get a decent job in the state-owned factory. How did you repay me? You fought, skipped work, and went against the boss. You were fired and became homeless. You know how good the family is. You, a bastard, have ruined my reputation!"
Mother Zhou pointed at her good-for-nothing third son and screamed hysterically.
Meimei was yelled at so much that she became completely speechless. She sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head and wiped her tears.
Her shrewd mother-in-law seemed to have figured out everything about the couple as soon as they moved into this house.
She had known for a long time that her son had been fired, lost his job and had no income.
As a mother, she could actually watch their jokes with a cold eye.
You really don't treat people as human beings.
Her heart is cold and her blood is cold.
His true colors were completely exposed.
Zhou Xingle no longer had the determination to fight to the end, and sat down on the bed dejectedly.
She complained aggrievedly, "Just remember how hard you worked to get me into the big factory. Did you ever ask me a single question from the beginning to the end: Do you like the job? Are you adapting to the new job? Do you get along well with your colleagues? As a mother, have you ever asked me any of these questions? No, you didn't. You don't even know how much humiliation I've endured in the workshop. I've been bullied and scolded. These are just minor things..."
As he was talking, Zhou Xingle suddenly exploded and started crying in grievance.
Meimei felt sorry for her husband's experience, so she hugged his back and burst into tears.
It felt like Zhou's mother was hit on the forehead with a club.
I feel dizzy and in pain.
Looking at the young couple hugging each other in front of me.
Mother Zhou's chest felt stuffy and swollen.
Put down the broom in your hand and throw it aside.
Although her son is uneducated, he is still her son after all.
Don't ask too much of him.
"Let's eat together starting tomorrow morning. I'll keep a record of the meal expenses for you. When you find a job and get paid, you must give it to me."
After saying this, Zhou's mother left the house.
Meimei seemed to be hallucinating. She blinked her eyes and twisted her thigh hard.
Zhou Xingle shouted, "Ah!"
"Why are you pinching me?"
Meimei opened her eyes in disbelief and said, "Your mother, let us have dinner at the table tomorrow!"
"real?"
Was this the last thing his mother said?
"My ears are very good, I can guarantee it's correct. Finally I don't have to cook for myself. The food you cooked was so disgusting that I feel sick just thinking about it now."
Meimei leaned leisurely on the quilt, crossing her legs lazily.
I imagine what delicious food will be on the table tomorrow morning.
Zhou Xingle looked at his wife's greedy expression and said in a very unpleasant way, "Is my cooking really bad? Then why do you eat more than me every time? And this is when the food is not good. If it was good, wouldn't you be holding the bowl to show off?"
"Bullshit, if you dare to think I can eat, I will beat you to death."
Meimei raised her foot and kicked Zhou Xingle who was standing beside her.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
Zhou Xingle just smiled and let her act unreasonable.
………………
"Mom, drink some honey water to calm down."
The eldest sister-in-law, wearing a blue cloth jacket, walked into her mother-in-law's room carrying a cup of steaming honey water.
"Leave it there."
Zhou's mother sat there listlessly, and there was a hint of melancholy in her voice.
As the eldest sister-in-law in the family, she has a lot to say.
However, her presence in this family has always been very low. It is not her turn to take charge of major matters, and trivial matters can be handled by her mother-in-law alone.
Then again, ever since her husband left, no one in this family has ever treated her as an elder.
Some things and some words would cause people to be disgusted if they were said, so it was better not to say them. Anyway, she was used to being alone.
"Come sit down and talk to me."
Just as the sister-in-law was about to turn around and leave the house, she was stopped by her mother-in-law.
He turned around unexpectedly and sat down on another chair a little awkwardly.
The sister-in-law knew very well what the mother-in-law would ask her next.
Zhou's mother turned around and asked, "You've seen your second brother's girlfriend. What do you think of her? Is she one of our family members?"
Just as she expected.
The eldest sister-in-law was not surprised. She sat there calmly and thought for a while, then spoke softly, "It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is that my second brother thinks she is good, so she is good. If you know my second brother's temper, you will know that he doesn't like all the girls you introduced to him over the years. It's not that he has high standards, but that he is determined. He doesn't want to spend his life with a woman he doesn't love."
Mother Zhou raised her eyes meaningfully and glanced at her.
It was quite unexpected.
The eldest daughter-in-law, who usually keeps silent, unexpectedly spoke such well-reasoned words today.
Just now, for a moment, hearing her firm tone, she was almost convinced.
It's worth pondering.
wrong.
She kept evading the main questions asked to her.
This is where she is smart.
She did not directly respond to her opinion of Ruan Xiaotang.
Not at all.
My eldest son’s wife, when did you become so smart?
It was useless to ask, "Go back and rest early."
"yes."
Just left the house.
I heard some rustling noises in my mother-in-law's room, as if she was searching for something, and then I heard the sound of the door being locked.
The sister-in-law guessed what her mother-in-law was hiding.
He walked into the house with very light footsteps.
