Chapter 179 Extra 3
I know this is a difficult thing to do, but I believe in my mother's ability to accomplish it, just like me and my brother. I have always believed that my brother will come back with my father because the bond between us is unbreakable.
Just when they didn't know how to show goodwill, Aunt Mingyue gave them an idea. Although Aunt Mingyue was a little crazy, sometimes she could still understand some truths.
"Then just go, just run, that will be fine."
My mother understood, and she quickly went to the village chief's house, while I stayed at my grandmother's house.
A'niang really couldn't write for a moment. He had to get this matter sorted out, otherwise it would probably be more troublesome if time went on.
Unexpectedly, not long after A Niang arrived at the village chief's house, Aunt A Niu's parents-in-law also came with their children.
"Father and mother in-laws, I think you are really shameless. Since you can't win the argument, we found a helper to go to our house and make a scene. What do you want? This child is the lifeblood of our family. What's wrong with taking our only child home to raise? Do you really need to bring people to rob him? Are we going to harm the child?"
When my mother heard this, she immediately refuted it.
"Aunt, what you said is wrong. We were just trying to reason with you. I didn't take Anniu with me to snatch the child. What you said is wrong. If outsiders hear us, they will think we are the kind of evil people who are unforgivable and specialize in snatching children. Besides, it's still unclear whether the child is willing to live with you. You come to quarrel with the village chief now. It's not decent."
As a result, the old woman was unhappy and immediately started quarreling with A Niang.
"Auntie, you are the in-laws of the village chief. We have been polite to you, but your words are really harsh. What do you mean by meddling in other people's business? If you hadn't occupied the child and refused to return it to the mother and child, would we have made this trip?"
"You are blaming us for what you said. What's wrong with us picking up our own grandson? Do we have to let him stay here forever? Our son is not marrying into their family. He is just living in their house temporarily. If he has his own house, is it necessary for him to live in the daughter-in-law's family home and live such a wronged life?"
The village chief's wife, or grandmother, became immediately unhappy upon hearing this and started arguing with her mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, we have been in-laws for so many years, how can you be so unreasonable? You are talking as if our family is a robber. If you didn't dislike my daughter and refused to let her in, would your son have to live with us? And he has lived here for so many years. If we pay according to the rent in town, you still have to give us the change."
The village head's grandmother's words were like a bombshell, instantly escalating the already intense argument several degrees.
When Aunt Anniu's mother-in-law heard this, she became furious and started scolding the village head's grandmother.
"What are you talking about, you old woman? You were reluctant to let your daughter marry into our family, so you let my son go to your house. My son also really loves your daughter, otherwise things wouldn't have developed to the point where they did. So you can't blame us for being so excessive. Both our families are responsible."
Seeing the situation getting out of control, A Niang hurriedly stood between the two and tried to calm the anger that was about to break out: "Uncle and aunt, don't get excited. We are here to solve the problem today, not to quarrel." But A Niu's aunt's mother-in-law didn't listen at all and still refused to give in: "Solve the problem? You just want to take the child away from me. I will never agree to that!"
At this moment, the village chief, who had been silent all this time, coughed heavily, and the room suddenly became a little quieter.
He slowly said, "Stop arguing. Now that everyone has said this, let's just lay it out and talk it out.
When Anniu married into your family, we hoped that the two families could live a good life. But since you have such a disdainful attitude towards her, why do you have to use the child as a bargaining chip? ”
As a result, Aunt Anniu's father-in-law was unwilling.
He said: "We don't use the child as a bargaining chip. We are just the child's relatives and we have to consider his future. Also, you can't be too selfish. As the child's relatives, we have to think about his future. You can't disown them. The number of times he has returned to us in the past few years can really be counted on one hand. Do you think this is really right?"
This is how the village chief explained it.
"What's wrong? It's the child who doesn't want to stay in your house. It's not that we don't allow the child to go. It's not that we deprive you of the right to see the child. It's that the child doesn't get close to you at all. You went too far in the beginning. If you weren't afraid of this and that in the beginning, and my child married into your family, you should have given her due understanding and respect, things wouldn't have developed to this point today?"
Aunt Anniu's mother-in-law said, "We have to take the child back today no matter what. We have come to see you according to the child's wishes. Don't try to force the child to stay. He is our grandson and our only heir. After the child's father and I die, the child will naturally inherit some of our family's things."
The village head's grandmother was shocked by what this grandmother said. Her family had nothing to inherit. It was nothing more than some pots and pans, broken copper and iron. She still had the nerve to say that she could inherit things. What crap.
When the elder brother of Anniu heard the adults making so much noise, he shouted.
When Aunt Anniu saw how excited her son was, she quickly knelt down in front of everyone.
"Dad, mom, parents-in-law, please stop arguing. Let's listen to the child's opinion. If the child is willing to go back with my parents-in-law, then I have nothing to say. If not, then let the child continue to stay with us and don't force the child."
My mother quickly calmed the child down and asked him softly, "Child, tell Yin Yang, where do you want to live? Your grandparents' home or your grandpa and grandma's home."
This brother doesn't know how to choose when faced with relatives on both sides who love him.
If he lives with his grandma and grandpa, he won't be able to see his mother. If he lives with his grandparents, he can be with his mother, but his grandpa and grandma will be sad and will come to make trouble every now and then.
Seeing their daughter kneeling down, the village chief and his wife were heartbroken.
I heard from my mother that the village chief grandfather and grandmother gave birth to many children, but only Aunt Annu stayed with them.
So she loved this child very much, but this child's life was not particularly good. To use my mother's words, he had a tragic fate.
When my aunt's parents-in-law heard their grandson say this, they felt something was wrong. They were afraid that their grandson would not be in their daughter-in-law's parents' home like them. At that time, there were so many people watching, and they would definitely lose face.
The little brother from my aunt's family thought for a moment and then answered.
"I know you all love me, but I just want to be with my parents and sister. If you miss me, I can go back and live with you for a while, but not for too long. After all, if I stay with you for too long, my parents will worry about me."
In fact, something else happened at the village chief’s house.
When I was three years old.
One day, the village chief suddenly came to my house to look for my parents and said that his son-in-law had run away.
Let my parents help him look for it.
My parents agreed, so they helped him find his uncle.
In the two years since the village chief's son-in-law left home, their in-laws have come to make trouble many times.
The matter almost ended up being brought to the government, but the village chief repeatedly assured that he would be able to find his son-in-law.
Later one day I heard my mother say that the real reason was actually this.
"You said Anniu's husband was the same. He left without saying goodbye to go out and make a living. He has been leaving them for several months. We have been helping to look for him every day, but everyone in the village has mobilized, but there is still no news. Their parents are not afraid of people looking for them and just come to make a fuss every day. Do you think it is possible that their son is not missing at all, but has been hidden by someone."
My father said, "My dear, how is that possible? He is someone's biological son. There is no need to hide him and scare others. There must be other reasons. If we can't find him, then forget it. After all, this is the village chief's family's business, not ours. It's the best we can do to help."
My mother said, "You don't understand. When you left home for such a long time, the people in the village said the same thing about you. They said you went missing and never came back. They also said you were abducted by another woman and would never come back."
In fact, my mother was worried about one problem. She was afraid that the son-in-law of the village chief's grandfather would listen to his parents and abandon his wife and children here to marry another wife and stay in his in-laws' home.
As long as you are busy and conscientious, no one will know.
——
Maybe this is why they want to bring their grandson back to their home. After all, if their son marries a new wife, there is no guarantee that he will really have another child, so they may have to take the child back to continue their family's bloodline, which is why they make such a fuss.
Let's leave the affairs of the village chief's family to them. My mother and I are now worried whether my father and brother will come back.
These are what my mother told me when she came back.
About three days later, A'niang received another letter from A'da, saying that they would stay in the capital for some time. If she came back, her brother would also come back, and it would be bad if his biological father was unwilling to let him come back. Instead of that, it would be better for A'da to stay with her brother for a while.
My mother said to me, "My daughter, why don't you write a letter back to your father and ask when he will be back? He may have to stay for another 10 days or half a month. If something happens to us by then, it will be over."
I said to my mother, "Mother, if you want to reply, then just do it. You don't need me to tell you. In fact, mother knows when father and brother will come back."
Gu Leyou did have an idea in his mind.
After hearing what I said, my mother was slightly stunned, then she sighed softly, "You, child, really see things clearly.
"After that, he sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and began to write back to his father.
I saw that my mother had written a very long letter, which was several pages long. I originally wanted to ask my mother to read it to me, but such a long letter would take a long time to read, and besides, I might not be able to understand it completely, so I gave up the idea of asking my mother to read the letter.
The days still passed slowly. My mother and I waited for news from my father and brother while paying attention to trivial matters in the village. As for Aunt Anniu, ever since the child expressed her feelings, although her parents-in-law are still unwilling, they have not made any big fuss for the time being.
That afternoon, A Niang was hanging clothes in the yard when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. I ran out of the house and saw a young man from the village rushing over, saying that the village chief wanted to see my mother again.
My mother quickly put down the work in her hands and walked with me to the village chief's house.
But my mother walked out of the yard and came back, picked me up, and walked towards my grandparents' house. They wanted to leave me at my grandparents' house before they could feel at ease to go to the village chief's house.
My grandparents were very dissatisfied with this matter, because the village chief now asked our family for help whenever he had any problem. The uncle told my mother that it seemed that the aunt of the village chief's family was ill. This was an extremely urgent matter. If she could not be saved, she might pass away.
When A Niang came to the village chief's house and saw her aunt lying in pain on the bed, she was heartbroken.
"You have to save my daughter. Didn't the little doctor say that she won't have another attack? Why is it so serious this time? We can't help at all. What should we do?"
This is what my mother replied.
"Maybe there are too many things that have happened recently, and Anniu's body can't bear it. The little doctor said before that if there is a stimulus, there is a possibility of recurrence. Maybe this stimulus is too great for her. After all, her husband disappeared for no reason, which is something that no one can accept."
"But the little doctor is no longer with us. I don't know where he has gone. As parents, we cannot watch our daughter suffer. You also have medical skills, so please treat my daughter as soon as possible."
My mother had no choice but to treat my aunt's illness. After a year of treatment by my mother, her illness has stabilized and the village chief can finally rest assured.
If the village chief's son-in-law has a conscience, he should come back.
