"You still want to borrow food from home? Why don't you go to heaven? Who do you think you are? You are dreaming.
I'd rather leave the grain there to rot than give it to those money-losing people in your family." After beating her enough, the Queen Mother stuffed the grain into her clothes and left, cursing.
But he didn't know that there were two big tails following him.
The next day, when Zhang Xiaomei looked at the rice jar, she knew there was something missing. She was very disappointed with Wang Dazhuang.
If her mother-in-law was really going to starve to death, she wouldn't be such a cruel person.
It is obvious that those rich kids in the Wang family dislike the taste of coarse grains and want to eat fine grains.
The fact that they still have the leisure to be picky about food only means that they are not short of food at all.
It is said that except for the child and his mother, all the other members of the Wang family are workers. Even the child has a city household registration and receives corresponding food every month.
So it is absolutely impossible for the Wang family to be short of food.
They just want to eat better.
A few days later, the Queen Mother came again to ask for food. This time she cried and said that her house had been robbed and hundreds of kilograms of food had been stolen.
Wang Dazhuang: "Mom, we still have several hundred kilograms of food at home. Why are you telling me that we can't afford to eat?"
Wang Dazhuang was shocked. The city was different from the countryside. Food was rationed every month.
If a person does not have a job, the monthly ration is only 25 kilograms, which means that a person would have to go without food and drink for a year to save more than 200 kilograms of food.
The Queen Mother: "Is this the point? The point is that all the food in the house has been stolen. Now we really can't take out a single grain of rice.
Dazhuang, you won't just watch your mother starve to death, will you?
The Queen Mother held Wang Dazhuang's hand and cried loudly.
Zhang Xiaomei snorted in her heart. If she could get food by crying, she would cry much more sincerely than this.
At least not without shedding a single tear.
"If you want to starve our family of five to death, just lend it to us," said Zhang Xiaomei.
"Son, it's just a wife. If you lose her, you can marry another one.
You only have one mother and one father. If you starve us to death, you will be stabbed in the back.” The Queen Mother held her hand and wailed.
"This, this..." Wang Dazhuang looked at his mother and then at his wife, and was caught in a dilemma.
Last time he gave food to his mother, and then came back and told his wife that his own rations were deducted.
Who knew that his wife really didn't cook her own meal, and he could only drink water when he was hungry at night these few days.
Fortunately, I have a full meal every day at the factory, otherwise I would probably starve to death.
"Look at your mother. She is stronger than you and howls with great energy. How does she look like someone who is hungry?" Zhang Xiaomei couldn't bear to watch it any more.
She was also afraid that her man would really agree to lend her food. After all, he was very likely to do such a thing.
"Your mother is not full, but she can't eat white rice or white flour buns every meal.
Do you think I'm really as hungry as you and can only drink water? "Wang Dazhuang felt his mother's strength and it seemed that she was really strong.
"Besides, it's already the middle of the month, and it's time to distribute food in a dozen days.
By then, there will be more than a dozen people in their family, and that will require hundreds of kilograms of food. Do you think they will starve?
Or do you think your two younger siblings will let themselves go hungry? Your younger siblings' families are both working-class families.
Instead of borrowing grain from the daughter-in-law of a working-class family, she comes to me, a rural daughter-in-law, to borrow grain.
This isn't just borrowing food; it's clearly borrowing your life." Zhang Xiaomei said coldly.
"Look among us mothers and see whose life is the least valuable. Exchange it for two bowls of white rice and give it to your mother!"
"You bitch, you instigate my son to be unfilial every day at home, and I was wondering how my filial son could have changed.
I want him to divorce you, this vicious woman." The Queen Mother let go of Wang Dazhuang and rushed towards Zhang Xiaomei.
Zhang Xiaomei was prepared and dodged directly.
Wang Dazhuang was caught off guard and was freed by his mother. After he came to his senses, he immediately carried his mother out.
"If you want him to be filial to you all his life, don't let him get married and have children. It would be better to let him stay at home and be a workhorse for the rest of his life." Zhang Xiaomei continued at home.
This is a matter of life and death, we must not be weak.
"Mom, we really can't make ends meet. Please stop making trouble!" Wang Dazhuang said to his mother with a sad face.
"I've raised you up for nothing, but you won't even give me a little food.
If I had known you were born, I would have drowned you in the piss bucket, so you wouldn't grow up to piss me off." Wang Dazhuang let his mother beat him again and again.
Don't fight back or talk back, and she will naturally leave when the Queen Mother is tired of beating you.
Seeing Wang Dazhuang coming back dejectedly, Zhang Xiaomei rolled her eyes secretly.
"You don't really think your mother raised you in vain, do you?" asked Zhang Xiaomei.
"I feel like I'm a bit useless. I can't feed my wife and children, and I can't feed my mother either." Wang Dazhuang held his head, feeling a little depressed.
"Oh, you started working when you were sixteen, so it's been more than ten years now.
From carrying heavy bags to making 35 yuan a month now, my salary is around 3,000 to 4,000 yuan at most.
Don't you think you've spent three or four thousand dollars in the past twenty years? Are you overestimating yourself?
Or do you think your mother gave you money to marry and have children?
When you gave me the two dollars as a betrothal gift, my mother took it all back as a dowry. But the next day after I got married, your mother asked for it back.
Not to mention my dowry, anything your mother liked was taken away by her.
From then on, you married a nanny for your mother. She had someone to take care of everything at home, from washing clothes to cooking, and her life was more comfortable than that of the Empress Dowager.
Let’s talk about Dahua and Erhua. The country has provided them with food since they were born, but how much of it did they eat?
Not to mention that they have been working with me to support themselves since they could walk.
Even so, you still have the nerve to say that you treated your mother badly? Is it your mother that you treated badly?
It's us mothers you've wronged!" The more Zhang Xiaomei spoke, the more outrageous it seemed to her. She wondered how she had ever endured it before.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I reached out and wiped my face, only to find it was covered in tears.
It turns out that I don’t really care!
"Wife, I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on. Let's live a good life as a family.
I, I try not to care about my mother's side." Wang Dazhuang looked at his crying wife and felt a little helpless.
“Don’t we take care of them? You only make thirty-five a month, and we only gave her five dollars.
The total monthly expenses for our family of five is only twenty dollars. If this isn't taken care of, how else can we take care of it?
Is it like before, working like a slave, that’s called management?” Zhang Xiaomei asked.
