The north wind was howling, and Song Qingyun raised his hand with difficulty, trying to hold his wife Xia Weian's cold and stiff hand.
Her chest was like a broken windmill, making a heavy, gurgling sound.
Not far away, in the brightly lit country villa, there was laughter and joy.
"Have those two old men died?"
"Oh, why bring those two unlucky things on New Year's Day? It's cold in winter anyway, so even if they die, they won't rot."
"That's right, come, brothers and sisters-in-law, try the red wine I brought back from abroad."
"good."
"Come, let's toast to celebrate the reunion of the seven of us brothers and the successful ridding of our burdens."
"Hahaha, well said."
"cheers!"
Song Qingyun listened to the laughter and chatter carried to her ears by the cold north wind, and looked at the white snow in the sky. It was obvious that she and her husband had always cherished their seven nephews very much since they were young.
At that time, my parents-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law all said that they had no sons and would have to rely on their nephews in the future.
So, they tried their best to be nice to their nephews.
Song Qingyun's heart, beating unusually slowly, suddenly felt a pain. They themselves had seven daughters...
Although they were not bad to their daughter and never beat or scolded her, they always made her give in when it came to matters involving their nephew.
If they retreat, they will retreat their entire lives.
Song Qingyun slowly closed his eyes, and the past flashed by like a kaleidoscope.
Thinking of the looks in her daughters' eyes when they left, she felt as if a huge hole had been gouged out in her heart, bloody and mangled.
I also wanted to love them very much.
But, amidst the constant cries of "Another money-loser." "Alas, without a son, your family is extinct." "If you don't rely on your nephew, then you'll have to rely on your married daughters!" "A family is extinct, I wonder what sins you committed in your past life."
She and her husband were brainwashed.
In their minds, their nephews should be put first in everything.
In the first half of their lives, they required their daughters to be filial.
As long as the nephew needs money, the daughters must give it to him. Only by giving money can they be considered good daughters.
However, the parents-in-law and the brother and sister-in-law would be kind to them, and the nephews would say with a smile, "Thanks to the third uncle and aunt, we will definitely be filial to you in the future, provide for your old age, and break pots for you."
Haha, the smile on Song Qingyun's lips was full of bitterness.
Later, their daughters died or disappeared one after another. They could no longer rely on their daughters, so they were instigated by their nephews to go out and make money.
At that time, they were nearly 40 years old. At such an old age and without any education, what could farmers who had been farming all their lives do?
The two of them rented a shabby little house and got up before dawn every day to work, buying breakfast, carrying heavy bags, delivering gas, and taking care of paralyzed patients in the hospital.
They did everything and finally saved some money, and their nephews came when they smelled the food.
Every time, they said that they didn't know how to live without their uncle and aunt, and the two idiots placed all their hopes for their future retirement on their nephews.
If they have money, they will be given it, but they have never calculated how much money they have received.
However, with their full support, each of their nephews is now very successful.
When Song Qingyun was sixty years old and Xia Weian was sixty-two years old, they could no longer work. The physical strength they had overdrawn in their youth turned into diseases that plagued them.
She naively thought that since she and her husband had done so much for their nephews, it was finally time for them to be filial to them.
When they knocked on their eldest nephew's door, the nanny mistook them for beggars and kicked them out.
At that time, the eldest nephew was standing on the balcony of the living room, looking at them coldly and cursing them for bad luck.
They went to look for his second nephew, but the address he gave had long since been changed. He had never thought of letting them find him, even though his tuition and living expenses were all paid by him and his wife.
My third nephew started crying poor the moment we met, saying they were also poor and had no room at home. In fact, the house he lived in was only 150 square meters, and their dog even had its own room...
The couple paid more than half of the money for the house.
They didn't even reach the door of their fourth nephew's house. They only heard that the leader had gone out on a mission.
The reason why the fourth nephew was able to join the army was because Xia Weian saved an important person, and the important person asked him if he needed any help.
Under the persuasion of his parents-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, Xia Weian proposed that his nephew join the army. With the help of important people, his nephew was promoted all the way and even married the daughter of a high-ranking official, with a bright future.
My fifth nephew has long been the richest man in his rural hometown.
This time, Song Qingyun and his wife finally got in, but they were not allowed into the living room. Instead, they were thrown into the pigpen in the backyard of his fifth nephew's house.
The fifth nephew received calls from several brothers one after another. The sixth nephew was traveling with his new love, and the seventh nephew was on a business trip abroad. Each of them told him to keep an eye on the two old guys and let them die quickly.
God knows, when Song Qingyun heard the words "let those two old fools die quickly," she was deeply shocked. Before that, she and her husband were still trying to make excuses for their nephews...
They may be too busy and the pressure in big cities is too great. They certainly didn't do it on purpose. They are not ungrateful and ungrateful people.
them……
All the excuses and self-deceptions collapsed at that moment, turning into mocking blades that stabbed their hearts fiercely.
From that day on, they lived in the pigsty, and the fifth nephew gave them whatever the pigs ate.
She once painfully questioned her five nephews why they treated them like this?
The fifth nephew said condescendingly, "You have supported my brothers and sisters to go out and live in the countryside. You have never looked down on me. Why should I let you have an easy life?"
Xia Weian wanted to explain, "No, it's..." Because you don't want to study, don't want to endure hardships, don't want to go out...
However, before he could finish his words, his fifth nephew kicked him hard in the chest.
"You've done so much evil over the years, you deserve to be without descendants and have no one to see you off to the grave. Humph, when you die, I'll throw you to the pigs!"
Looking at the ferocious face of his fifth nephew, Xia Weian coughed painfully, and then died helplessly and desperately.
Song Qingyun didn't even have the strength to cry at that time.
A fleeting glimpse of life...
Song Qingyun was filled with endless regret. She hated herself for not being able to judge people, hated herself for letting her daughters down, and hated herself for being blind.
She and her husband are both idiots.
Song Qingyun finally held Xia Weian's hand and said, "Old man, if there is an afterlife, we must atone for our sins to our daughters and make them beautiful flowers."
The hands were folded together, leaving only skin and bones. They clenched tightly, and then slowly loosened.
White snow fell all over the sky.
Song Qingyun and Xia Weian died in the pigsty on New Year's Eve in 2000...
