Chapter 1259 Stand Up
"Um……"
Shuangxi nodded.
Ma Jianshe thought that Shuangxi would have to wait at least a while before coming out.
But just as he stood at the foot of the slope in front of the Fu family's gate, Shuangxi came out with her belly in her arms:
"Brother Jianshe!"
"Um?"
Ma Jianshe turned around and took Shuangxi's arm in the darkness:
"Why so fast? What did sister-in-law say?"
"nothing."
Shuangxi shook his head, smiled at him, and took the lead in walking back:
"Let's go back first!"
"……good."
Ma Jianshe was a little hesitant, but he didn't think much about it. He took Shuangxi's hand and walked back slowly in the dark.
Let’s talk about the Ma family.
Mrs. Yang started crying as soon as she got home.
Originally, Ma Jianshe went home to help his father pack grain bags, while Shuangxi cooked with a big belly and red and swollen eyes.
Then I heard Mrs. Yang cursing in the main hall:
"Oh my God! How could I have such an unlucky person like you? My whole family has been reluctant to eat or drink all year round, and we've been busy for a year or two just to save a little food! Now there's nothing left! Oh my God! This is killing me! It's all in vain, all in vain!"
Shuangxi didn't say anything at first.
But Mrs. Yang didn't know how to restrain herself, and instead she kept scolding more and more fiercely.
Sayings like "jinx" or "unlucky star" are considered mild.
He cursed me with words like, "My stomach is not good enough, it's useless rotten stuff, all the meat sold outside is better than Shuangxi's, etc."
Shuangxi couldn't stand it any longer, so he slammed the vegetable basin on the stove, rushed out of the kitchen and swept everything on the big table in the main hall to the floor.
Shuangxi shouted hysterically:
"If you don't want to pay the grain, then don't pay it! If your Ma family dies out in the future, don't complain to me about the end of the incense. If you really want to blame someone, blame it on you, this damn old woman! Ma Jianshe can't give birth to a son, and you blame it on you, this damn old woman. Not only is your mouth dirty, but you also don't know how to do good deeds!"
Shuangxi cursed and started to cry.
She remembered what Xiao Liu's wife said to her when she came back:
—This is all I can do for you, and only this once. How you and your two children live in the future depends on you.
Sister Xiaoliu is right.
If she can't stand up, this kind of life will probably never end.
Shuangxi wiped away his tears and rushed to the granary to pull Ma Jianshe:
"Let's go get an abortion now! Let's get a vasectomy now!"
"Xier..."
Ma Jianshe immediately became panicked and nervous.
But before he could say anything to comfort her, the frightened Ma Hongguo quickly put down the snakeskin bag, walked forward, pulled Shuangxi and said:
"Shuangxi! You're a good and sensible child. Your family has finally managed to get help from others to get this matter over with. You can't let your temper get the better of you at this critical moment!"
Ma Hongguo spat towards the main hall and continued:
"Your mother is a crazy woman with no brains. Just treat her words as bullshit and don't take it personally. You and Jianshe are the only two children in the family. Just make sure you two live a good life. Don't worry about anything else... Let Dad handle this matter. Be obedient, okay!"
As he said this, Ma Hongguo gave Ma Jianshe a push:
"What are you still standing there for? Take your wife back to her room and get some rest!"
Ma Jianshe nodded stupidly and did as he was told.
Except for Mrs. Yang, the father and son in the old Ma family are both honest and upright.
Although Shuangxi was still crying, she softened her heart when she saw the sincerity on her father-in-law's weathered face, and she went down the stairs and let Ma Jianshe help her into the house.
When he heard the door closing from the young couple's room, Ma Hongguo swept up the scattered grains on the ground and shoveled them into the bag while scolding Mrs. Yang:
"What are you still doing sitting there? It's almost dark, why don't you go and cook? My daughter-in-law is right. All the troubles in our family are caused by your mouth!"
The countryside is a place that values filial piety the most, and Shuangxi has always respected her parents-in-law.
He suddenly exploded today, perhaps because he was frightened by her presence, or perhaps because he was frightened by her words.
In short, fearing that she would really have an abortion or sterilization, Mrs. Yang didn't dare to say anything more and quickly got up to cook.
Let’s talk about the Fu family at the east end of the village.
As soon as the Ma family left, Lu Miao leaned into Fu Jingyou's arms.
“Miaomiao, Miaomiao?”
Fu Jingyou supported her carefully.
Seeing that she closed her eyes and frowned, looking uncomfortable, Fu Jingyou picked her up and carried her into the room without saying a word.
He Hongjin didn't follow him into the room, but just stood at the door looking around with a worried look on his face.
After Fu Jingyou put Lu Miao to bed, he came out with a washbasin and a towel. He Hongjin quickly followed and asked:
"How is your wife? What did the doctor say at the hospital today?"
Fu Jingyou was afraid that his family would worry about him, so he only said the good things:
"The doctor said she's recovering well and just needs to keep doing it. She's just tired from running around all day, it's nothing serious."
"Oh, oh."
He Hongjin nodded repeatedly.
Lu Miao looked very sick, and it was hard to believe whether his health had really improved.
But He Hongjin didn't dare to ask more.
After understanding a few words, he waved his hand and asked Fu Jingyou to fetch some water and go back to the house to take care of Lu Miao.
He Hongjin sighed "Ouch, ouch" and his rough, dark face looked weathered. He paced back and forth in the main hall and in front of the door of the Fu family with his hands behind his back.
As if he thought of something, He Hongjin suddenly rushed towards the He family in the village.
When Chen Guifen and I came back in the moonlight in the middle of the night, we put the chickens we raised at home in the chicken coop and brought them over as well.
They had nothing to offer.
This is all I can do to help Lu Miao recover from his illness.
But when they delivered the things, Fu Jingyou was in the room and did not go out to see.
There has been very little rain in the south this year.
The urban development of Han City is not as good as that of northern Beijing, and many areas are still flattened dirt roads.
When entering the city during the day, Lu Miao, sitting in the passenger seat, was covered in dust from a passing car.
Perhaps for this reason, she had a cough when she returned in the afternoon.
The situation became even worse at night.
Fu Jingyou stayed by her side, afraid that she would cough more severely and vomit blood again like before...
Whenever he thought of those scenes, Fu Jingyou's heart couldn't stop trembling with panic.
He sat on the bed, holding her hand, and rubbed it against his cheek, speaking with a heavy nasal tone out of heartache:
"Let's just ignore this matter, okay? We act on impulse, but we must act rationally. We don't owe them anything, and they can't blame us even if we ignore it."
Lu Miao stared at him intently, then turned his gaze to the beams above his head that gradually faded into darkness:
"Brother You, you know me well, and this matter only needs to be concluded."
She turned back and smiled at him softly, then took his hand.
"Don't worry about me all the time. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired during the day because I haven't been out for a while. Get a good night's rest today and I'll be fine tomorrow, okay?"
