Before going to the countryside, Shen Shuyi held Shen's mother's hand, with a distressed look on her face, "Mom, you have worked hard these years. Dad and my brother are really, they don't cook when they are free at home, and they have to wait for us to come back to cook for them. They are picky about food and don't know how to be grateful to you."
"It's not that hard. I'm used to it. When you get married, Mom will have to rely on your brother to take care of her in her old age."
Shen Shuyi spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Mom, let me tell you something from my heart. Dad treats you coldly all day long, and he didn't give you the money for safekeeping. He is the boss at home, not like a husband at all."
"My younger brother is fifteen years old and has reached the age of understanding, but he is lazy and eats all day long, and yells at you, mom. Do you think such a son will be filial to you? When you are old and can no longer serve him, do you think he will still give you a bite of food to eat?"
Mother Shen didn’t believe it, “Don’t talk nonsense, my mother worked so hard to raise him, how could he not be filial to me!”
"Mom, there are many ungrateful people. If you don't believe me, try my method on Dad and brother."
"You have been busy working for most of the day. You came into the room and told Dad that you have a headache and asked him to massage your head to see if Dad would help you."
"If dad won't help, you can go find your brother and see if he is filial or not."
Mother Shen's heart skipped a beat. She had been married to the Shen family for so many years and she had never had a husband so considerate... But she didn't believe that her eldest son was such an ungrateful person...
After Chen Shuyi finished speaking, she went back to her room. When she came out to look for food, she saw Chen's mother coming out with red eyes.
When Mother Shen saw her, her eyes dodged, and she hurried to her son's room as if she was eager to prove something.
Shen Shuyi was standing outside the window of Shen Junjie's room, holding a whole grain cake in her hand and eating it.
"Junjie, Mom has a headache, can you give her a massage?"
"Just two clicks..."
"Mom, if you are sick, go see a doctor and stop bothering me, okay?"
"Also, you have to knock next time you come in!"
Mother Shen felt cold in her heart, and said with an embarrassed look, "Son, Mom really has a headache..."
Shen Junjie said in a very aggressive tone, “Go find your sister.”
Mother Shen's red eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and she walked out in despair.
…
Chen Shuyi knew that she would soon be unable to hide the fact that she was going to the countryside, so she quickly stole the household registration booklet at home and bought a train ticket to the countryside.
When she came back, she saw that the house was very lively. It turned out that Shen's father suddenly heard from others that his daughter had signed up to go to the countryside. He hurried back home and shouted that he would beat and scold his daughter, attracting the neighbors to stop and watch.
Shen Shuyi walked through the crowd and someone with a curious mind asked.
"Xiaoyi, aren't you going to marry into the Luo family? Why do you suddenly want to go to the countryside?" Countless people have hurriedly married in order to avoid going to the countryside.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, “The countryside is a vast world where you can achieve a lot.”
But her smile gradually turned bitter. "If I didn't go to the countryside, my parents would sell me to a bully who beat his target to death."
When Shen's mother heard these words, her legs became weak, Shen's father came out with a rolling pin to beat Shen Shuyi, and Shen Junjie ran out to watch the fun with a look of contempt.
"My grandparents gave me money to study, and I also earned some money from doing odd jobs. After school, I was busy working at home every day, but I haven't had a new piece of clothing for all these years. I dare say that I don't feel guilty about this family. On the contrary, I am filial and sensible!"
"I am the daughter of the Shen family. Logically, I have no complaints about doing any amount of work. But my parents shouldn't have sold me to a man who beat his wife to death, right? They just want to use me to get rich..."
The neighbors were there to watch the fun. They were certainly indignant in front of others, but behind others' backs they were no different from the Shen family. For an ordinary family, it would be great to receive a dowry of one or two hundred yuan for marrying off their daughter. Who wouldn't want to marry off their daughter if they could get a dowry of one thousand yuan for favoring boys over girls? Whoever she marries.
"Alas... Old Shen, it's wrong for you to do this..."
Father and Mother Shen blushed with shame, wishing they could tear Shen Shuyi's mouth apart on the spot.
Shen Shuyi had expected that they would not give up, “I have already signed up to go to the countryside, you guys can handle the Luo family’s marriage by yourselves, if you force me again, I will go to the police station and call the police to arrest you!”
"Mom and Dad, you really disappoint me!"
After leaving these words behind, Shen Shuyi turned around and ran away.
Some people with good intentions hurried to the Luo family to report the news, but Shen's father and mother were too busy to catch Shen Shuyi in the first place.
The Luo family brought people to the Shen family and smashed things up. Shen Shuyi had signed up to go to the countryside and there was no way to stop them. Shen's father and mother were even more helpless. If they changed their minds, they would not be given food coupons!
The night before Shen Shuyi took the train to the countryside, she secretly returned to Shen's house. She found Shen's mother, this pitiful, hateful and pathetic woman.
