"Mom, I'm home. Caiping and I came to see you." Xiao Ming pushed his bicycle and followed Zhou Caiping in. A skinny little girl with yellow hair was sitting on the crossbar in front of the bicycle. She was their eldest daughter, Xiao Tingting.
He first called out to Yu Qiuying, and then greeted Zhou Cailian and Zhou Jiadong.
Previously, Xiao Mingyang didn't like visiting his mother-in-law's house because she never liked him. Every time he came, she would give him a cold shoulder, so he eventually stopped coming altogether.
But when Xiao Mingyang met his mother-in-law at the coffin's hometown that day, he clearly felt that she was no longer as hostile towards him as before. On the day he went to the county to attend the commendation meeting, his mother-in-law even spoke to him in a pleasant tone, which surprised him quite a bit.
Xiao Mingyang was overjoyed. He thought that since his mother-in-law was now willing to treat him well, and he was able to get a thousand yuan for free this time all thanks to his mother-in-law, he went to town early this morning to buy things and brought his wife and children over.
"Mom, Mingyang bought you a pair of shoes. Try them on in a bit to see if they fit. And these are all food that Mingyang bought for you." Zhou Caiping waved the things in her hand at Yu Qiuying, her face beaming with pride, as if to say, "Look how good my man is!"
Before getting married, her mother opposed her being with Mingyang because Mingyang's family was poor and he didn't have a mother. After the marriage, her mother looked down on Mingyang. Every time Mingyang went back to her parents' home with her, her mother would have a cold face and find fault with Mingyang in every way. Zhou Caiping was also angry about this, so she disliked going back to her parents' home even more.
Today, she finally got her revenge.
They didn't come on foot today; they rode their new bicycles. They also bought a lot of things, including shoes for Mom. She straightened her back and looked at Mom, wanting to tell her that she hadn't married the wrong person. Although Mingyang's family was poor and he didn't have a mother, he treated her well and cared for her like a mother-in-law.
Yu Qiuying: "..."
Yu Qiuying was speechless as she looked at her second daughter's smug expression, as if to say, "See? I didn't marry the wrong person."
This love-struck daughter always thought she looked down on Xiao Mingyang because the Xiao family was poor and because Xiao Mingyang didn't have a mother. I'm speechless.
Yu Qiuying admitted that at this time in her previous life, she really looked down on Xiao Mingyang as her son-in-law. Every time he came to her house, she disliked him and gave him a cold shoulder.
But can we blame her?
What mother in this world would like a scoundrel who gets her daughter pregnant?
Xiao Mingyang is five years older than his second daughter. His family is poor, he has no mother, only a one-eyed father and an old bachelor older brother.
Xiao Mingyang is lazy and doesn't care about his family. He never keeps money in his pocket overnight and doesn't know where his next meal will come from. Apart from his good looks, he can be said to be completely useless.
She asked, "What mother would agree to her daughter marrying someone like that?"
However, looking at her son-in-law at this moment, Yu Qiuying's feelings were complicated.
Because in her past life, Xiao Mingyang, the son-in-law she had always looked down upon, was actually the most filial son-in-law to her.
Even his own son, the third son, can't compare to him.
Unfortunately, Xiao Mingyang was also unlucky. In 2005, he went to work at a hardware factory in the city, but after less than two months, his legs were crushed by a truck from the factory and he had to have them amputated above the knee.
After that, he became depressed. At first, his second daughter felt sorry for him and took good care of him. But as the saying goes, "a long illness tests a filial son's love." In addition, Xiao Mingyang lost his enthusiasm for life and became listless and depressed. No matter how deep his second daughter's feelings for him were, they could not withstand the daily quarrels and the torment of having no hope.
Finally, after living like a zombie for more than two years, Xiao Mingyang drank a bottle of pesticide in the spring of 2008 and ended his life.
When Yu Qiuying recalled these things, she felt quite uncomfortable.
Actually, aside from being lazy and lacking ambition, Xiao Mingyang is a pretty good person. He is generous and loyal to his friends, values relationships, and is also quite good to his second daughter. At least in the two years since their marriage, he has been considerate and treats his mother-in-law like his own mother.
In her past life, she only disliked him for a few years after her second daughter married him, because she held a grudge against him for getting her second daughter pregnant.
To be honest, she initially hated him, but as she got to know him better and understood him better, and because he never held grudges and always treated her, his mother-in-law, like his own mother, her prejudice against him gradually faded away over time.
