She had not been able to give birth to a son for the Gu family, so it was already good enough that her parents-in-law and husband did not blame or beat her.
He scolded her harshly and warned her that if her son-in-law came to pick her up, she should go back with him without hesitation and stop losing her temper and bringing shame to the family.
After finally having lunch, my mother favored boys over girls and gave all the good food to her grandson, leaving my two daughters with only the bottom of their bowls and not enough to eat.
When they looked at her with tears in their eyes, she felt for the first time that she really shouldn't have gone back to her parents' home in such a bad mood with a man.
It's okay for her to be wronged, but her two daughters have to suffer with her. Although she doesn't have a boy, her two daughters are her treasures.
After helping with housework at home for an entire afternoon, her two daughters were bullied by her nephew. They came to her pitifully to complain, but she couldn't bring herself to stand up for them.
At this moment, she wished Gu Tingchuan would come and take them home, as she couldn't stay there any longer.
In the past, during the New Year holidays, Gu Tingchuan would bring them here, have lunch and then hurried back. They didn't know that they had really become like spilled water and had no mother's home anymore.
In the past, the friendly attitudes of my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were all based on the gifts and face I brought back.
At night, she fell asleep on a bench in the main room with her children in her arms. The two daughters begged her with tears in their eyes to take them home. Erni said that she would never come to her grandmother's house again.
Dani was older, so she didn't say anything that hurt her heart. She just cried and said she missed home.
She actually missed home. She used to think that her parents' home would always be her support, but now she realized that she was just deceiving herself. She no longer had a place in the family.
Her current home is given by her man and children. Wherever her man and children are, that is her home.
She decided to go home early tomorrow morning.
Dani and Erni took a bite of the fried dough twist given by their mother, and handed it to Mrs. Gu to try. It was delicious.
The mother, daughter and her two children ate some fried dough twists to fill their stomachs, and then Mrs. Gu started to prepare lunch. As soon as lunch was ready, her parents-in-law and husband came back from work carrying hoes.
When they saw her come back, her parents-in-law were indifferent and didn't say anything. They just took Dani and Erni aside and asked a few questions, such as whether it was fun at grandma's house.
Da Ni and Er Ni also gave their mother face and said that everything was fine, except that they missed home and their grandparents.
It made the two old people laugh.
When she returned to the house, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Why did you come back without waiting for me to pick you up? Did everything go well on the way?" Brother Gu asked calmly.
Mrs. Gu's parents' home is quite far away, more than two hours' walk. I don't know if the two children can handle it. In the past, when going back to her parents' home, Erni always acted coquettishly and asked her father to carry her half the way.
Hearing the man's question, Mrs. Gu was also very touched.
"The child said he missed home, so I brought him back. Nothing happened on the way, don't worry."
The two of them have finally reconciled.
"Did you buy these twisted dough sticks and fruit candies?" Mrs. Gu remembered that the family's private money was in her hands, so he should not have the money to buy these.
"No, I was replacing the roof of my second son's house yesterday. My sister-in-law wanted to pay me for the work, but I didn't take it. So she gave the children some food."
Knowing that it was given by the second son's family, Mrs. Gu's face flushed. She was stingy. These candies and fried dough twists were more than enough to cover a day's wages.
She even quarreled with her husband because of delayed work points, but the husband was a respectful person and did not let them suffer any loss.
Brother Gu knew that she was only concerned about making her family live a good life, and she also had some competitive spirit and vanity, which were all the petty thoughts of a woman.
Most women in the village are like this. As long as she is good to the children and takes good care of the family, he won't blame her.
After all, it was her choice, so she had to tolerate her shortcomings.
The two reconciled again.
