Chapter 13: I Don't Want to Suffer

Oh yes, this is described from the perspective of the heroine Gu Li. Gu Li was reborn in 1970, eight years later.

Could it be that eight years later, Gu Lao San's wife had gained weight to 200 pounds, and her face had changed to look like a man?

No one answered her question.

I don’t know what the old customer’s family said to the girl, but it was obvious that she was angry. She went out, got on her bike and left.

He also ignored Gu Jinzhu who was calling out from behind.

Gu Jinzhu saw Su He and shouted,

"sister in law."

Then he went after his wife.

From the perspective of the heroine, the book tells the story of Uncle San, who has a bad relationship with his family, especially his grandma, and lives with his father-in-law's family in the city.

However, he still loves his niece Gu Li very much.

Before Su He entered the house, he heard the scolding of Gu's second aunt Zhang Xiuying, "What does she mean? She wants my son to be her son-in-law."

"She's dreaming!"

"Second brother, tell the third brother to cut ties with this immediately!"

"His second aunt, you can't say that. The girl wants to live in the city with Jinzhu and live with her parents. What's wrong with that?"

"Their homes in the city are spacious and convenient for commuting. When these two kids have their own children, Beibei's parents can help take care of them."

"Besides, his aunt, don't you still have the eldest and second eldest sons at home? Why are you so anxious?"

Su He recognized the voice as that of Gu's mother.

Hmm...how should I put it, she seemed to sense a sense of happiness in what Gu's mother said!

"It's easy to say, why don't you send your son to the Su family to be a son-in-law?" Zhang Xiuying was so angry that she attacked indiscriminately.

Among her three sons, she loved the third one the most. The eldest and second sons only finished the first and second grades of elementary school, but the third son went to junior high school.

The third son was her hope, to fight against the eldest son. The eldest son was not a big man, but he was promising and joined the army.

Since her son couldn't join the army, he had to work in a factory, and being a worker was also an honor.

But now a woman came to her and said that she wanted her son to be a live-in son-in-law.

Isn't this going to cost her her life? How can this be possible!

If he became a live-in son-in-law, would he still be her son? He would not only become someone else's son, but the son she had painstakingly nurtured would become someone else's son after he grew up!

How could she be willing!

Besides, if he becomes a live-in son-in-law, the salary of the third brother won't be enough to pay her!

Gu's mother was angry at her words and said coldly, "Because my son is capable and your son is not. Besides, my in-laws' three sons don't need me to send them off!"

"Like a mad dog, I'm talking to you in a nice and gentle voice, but I'll bite you if I catch you!"

There is a bit of schadenfreude in what Gu's mother said above, but most of it is serious advice. Jinzhu and his wife both work in the city. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to commute to get off work if they live in the city?

Also, since they live in the city and Beibei is an only child, wouldn’t it be more convenient for her to live directly with her father-in-law and mother-in-law so that they can take care of each other?

I don't understand. She only has one girl and she has three sons. What's wrong with letting one go?

It's like my life is in danger.

As for her Jianhua family, if the Su family doesn't have a son, she would agree if they were suggested to live together. Why would she disagree? It would make things convenient for everyone.

For thousands of years, women have lived like this!

Look how anxious Zhang Xiuying was. She gave the girl a cold shoulder before she even finished her meal!

Su He came in and saw this scene. Everyone looked unhappy.

She probably guessed the reason.

Su He called Gu's mother, and her expression softened instantly, "Hey, Xiao He."

Gu's mother followed Su He out. She said, "That girl is the only child in her family. Her parents are old now and they want to find a son-in-law. It can't be called a son-in-law. It just means that they can live together in the future so that they can take care of their parents."

"Then your aunt got furious when she heard it, and she insisted that the girl come to live here."

Gu's mother didn't understand her sister-in-law's idea. The children had jobs in the city and wanted to live in the city, but you insisted on forcing them to live in the countryside. Not only was it inconvenient for them to go to work, but the sleeping area was also not spacious.

And living with such a big family.

One mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law, it would hurt to put yourself in her shoes.

Su He smiled and said, "Second Auntie might want to show off her power as a mother-in-law. How can she show off when her cousin's wife lives in the city?"

Not to mention that Su He actually guessed it right, that's what Zhang Xiuying thought. She just wanted the girl in the city to serve her and bring her water to wash her feet.

You don't have to do it every day, just once in a while.

Mother Gu said, "This person is really sick. Xiao He Niang is telling you, when you have a son and become a mother-in-law, you must not learn the ways of your second aunt. We did not raise the girl, but the fact that the girl is willing to call us father and mother is a fate given by God."

"Ten years to see the mother-in-law, ten years to see the daughter-in-law. The elders should be more tolerant of the younger generation."

Su He smiled and said, "I know, Mom."

She won't live with them anymore. If she does, not only will she quarrel with her parents-in-law, she will even quarrel with her own parents.

Distance creates beauty, so from now on she lives with her husband Jianhua and not with her children.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned home. Su He brought the yogurt fried rice that Gu's father brought back to Gu's mother. Gu's mother had eaten it in her hometown, but she was not full, so she ate the yogurt fried rice.

"Xiao He, do you like this fried rice yogurt? If you like it, I'll buy it for you."

The brigade has more than 50 cows. In addition to drinking milk, they also use the milk to make yogurt and tofu, which are supplied to various places.

Su He quite likes to eat fried rice mixed with yogurt, which tastes sour and is very appetizing.

I said: "It's OK, it's delicious."

Mother Gu said, "Okay, I'll buy you some tomorrow."

This yogurt is a bit expensive, but we have enough money at home, and Xiaohe is pregnant, so she needs to eat something good.

Thinking this, Mother Gu planned to kill another chicken that night.

It's not enough to just drink milk without eating meat.

She kills a chicken every half a month, and the next day or the day after, she brings back a nest of chicks.

There is harmony in the big house.

There's chaos in the second room!

The main reason was that Zhang Xiuying was going crazy. Gu Jinzhu caught up with his target Xiao Beibei and tried to coax her, but failed.

He came back with a lot of anger and vented his anger at his mother Zhang Xiuying, "What's so good about this village? Why do you want to trap me here?"

"If Beibei and I succeed, I can become a regular employee!"

Gu Jinzhu was very angry. Jobs in the city were so scarce that even if people from the countryside could only finish junior high school, it would be extremely difficult to find a job in the city.

He finally found one and met the girl he liked, but his mother didn't agree?

And he scolded the girl!

"You want to be someone's son-in-law!" Zhang Xiuying's hands were shaking with anger.

Her most proud son is going to be married off to someone else!

Gu Jinzhu, "What's wrong with being a live-in son-in-law? What's wrong with that? Eat well, drink well, sleep well, live well, what's wrong with that?"

He didn't understand what was wrong with being a son-in-law. Beibei's parents were so nice to him, even better than his own parents.

She said that if he and Beibei got together, she would buy him a watch and a bicycle!

And the job can be converted to a regular one.

Mainly because he works in the city! He gets up more than an hour early every day and walks to work. His feet hurt so much!

He wanted to buy a bicycle, but his mother said he was unwilling to endure hardship!

What good is there in suffering? He is unwilling to suffer!
