Chapter 43: Quarrel at the Mother's House
Liang Xiaoying and Cui Xue couldn't have the same attitude as her, but they wouldn't go after someone who didn't like them, so they just said hello.
Hearing the noise, a person came out of the room next door, and saw them and said hurriedly, "Aunt! Cousin Xiaoxue, are you here?"
Cui Xue looked over and saw that it was the eldest son of the third uncle's family, the second in line.
"Second cousin!" Cui Xue responded in the same manner as him.
"Xiaohuai, why did you come out of the side room?" Liang Xiaoying frowned and asked Liang Pinghuai.
"Uh..." Liang Pinghuai glanced at his aunt standing by the well, pursed his lips, and didn't know what to say.
As soon as she saw his expression, Liang Xiaoying knew what was going on, and her face instantly became ugly.
She walked quickly towards the side room, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw her parents inside.
The small house was now full of people. In addition to the two old people, there were also the second and third wives and their children.
"Is Yingzi back?" Liang's mother was very happy to see her, and she trembled as she tried to stand up from her chair.
Liang Xiaoying's eyes immediately turned red when she saw her. She walked quickly to Liang's mother and supported her.
"Mom, please sit down. How come I haven't come to see you for such a short time? You have lost so much weight?"
This made Liang Laoda, who was sitting next to him, look embarrassed. Everyone else in the room with eyes saw the changes on his face.
The younger generation didn't dare to speak, but only communicated with each other through eye contact. The peers all looked at each other and didn't look at the eldest wife.
What happened in the eldest wife's house last year was unknown to each family.
When the second and third wives came to visit the old man, they were still living in the main house. They didn't expect that after the Chinese New Year, the old man actually moved to the side house. This was different from what was said when the family was divided.
It's not that they didn't think about talking to the first wife, but the old woman stopped them, so they couldn't make trouble anymore.
Now that Liang Xiaoying is back, she doesn't want the second and third wives to worry so much.
The second and third wives are sitting there, waiting to see the show.
"Dad, you too, are you feeling unwell? You don't look good. How about I take you to the town health center for a checkup after the Chinese New Year?"
"Why go there? It's a waste of money. We know our own health. It's nothing. Don't bother." When she heard that they were going to the health center, Liang's mother quickly refused.
"That's right, why go to the clinic? If you have that little spare money, why don't you use it to honor your parents? Instead, you give it to outsiders. I don't know if you are truly filial or just pretending."
Liang Xiaoying was about to persuade them, but she heard a mocking voice behind her.
As soon as she heard it, she knew who said it. Liang Xiaoying was already very angry when she found out that the two old people were driven to the side room. Thinking that it was New Year's Day and it would be bad if they quarreled, she endured it. Who knew that someone was just looking for trouble.
"You think so too?" She suppressed the anger that surged in her heart, turned around and asked Liang Lao Da coldly.
"Say less!" Liang Lao Da glanced at his wife, not daring to look Liang Xiaoying in the eye.
"Pah!" The wife of the first room threw the towel directly on the door frame, making a loud noise.
"I'm going to say it! What's wrong with what I said? You have that money, but you don't know how to use it as a filial gift or send it to a clinic? I'm the one who takes care of the two old people all year round. What's my responsibility? They come three or five times and say something nice to them, and they think they're being filial? What's the logic!"
"You still think you're right?" Liang Xiaoying couldn't stand it anymore when she saw that she had started it. She immediately turned around and started to scold her,
"When we divided the family, we said that if you want this house, you have to support your parents and let them live in the main house. But now you're driving them to this side house. Do you think they can bully others when they're old?!"
"So what? Go out and ask around, whose elders have occupied the main house for decades? When your eldest brother and I got married, they refused to let us move in, but now their eldest grandson is getting married, what's the problem with asking them to move in?"
"Okay, I told you." Liang Xiaoying finally knew what was going on, and looked at her eldest nephew who was hiding nearby with a stern look.
"Pingxing, you tell me, do you have to live in this main house?"
Liang Pingxing looked embarrassed, but Cui Xue saw the impatience and anger in his eyes.
"Aunt, I'm old now, and I finally got a wife. I can't live in a small house with my wife, can I?"
"Useless waste!" Liang Xiaoying was so angry that she cursed.
"You have no ability but you steal the things of the elderly. I think you are just like your mother, selfish, ungrateful and ungrateful!"
"Liang Xiaoying, what right do you have to scold my son? Who do you think you are?" Hearing her precious son being scolded, the eldest wife was furious and was about to rush over to stop Liang Xiaoying.
The two sisters-in-law saw the opportunity and jumped up, shouting to persuade them to stop fighting, but they held her tightly with their hands, not letting her get close to Liang Xiaoying.
Liang Pingxing saw this and wanted to go up to help, but was also stopped by his peers.
The scene was a little chaotic for a while. Looking at this scene, Cui Xue didn't know what to say. Turning around, she saw Liang's
mother looking at the scene with tears in her eyes. She wanted to persuade them but didn't know how to start. Liang's father, who was beside her, was supporting his old wife and comforting her. She looked so pitiful . She walked forward and held Liang's mother's hand. "Grandma, are you and grandpa willing to live in my house?" Liang's mother was stunned and looked at Cui Xue. Her eyes were shaking and tears came down. "Good child, we two old bones know your filial piety, but this is not in accordance with the rules." Liang's father gently refused. Cui Xue was not surprised. After all, they had lived in Daping Village for decades, not to mention that this was their hometown. Even if they died, they had to die here. From another perspective, it was not appropriate to follow a daughter who married out. Being gossiped about was not the most important thing. The three uncles were afraid that their spines would be broken. Liang's mother came to her senses, holding Cui Xue's hand tightly, and kept saying good things about her child. "Pop!" The sound of porcelain breaking rang out, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Liang's father looking at them with a sullen face. "Have you made enough noise?" "Dad..." Liang Xiaoying turned around and called Liang's father with tears in her eyes.
"Alas, your mother and I wanted to be the concubine. We are two old bones, and we won't live for many more years. We have been making trouble for decades. Now it's time to die. Give us two old bones some peace and quiet, which is considered filial piety." As
soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three sons were red.
Cui Xue glanced at her uncle who was secretly wiping his tears, and felt a little disgusted in her heart.
"That's easy. Grandpa wants to be quiet. I just made some money last year and wanted to rebuild the house, but my sister-in-law is pregnant and can't start the work. Let me ask my dad to ask your team leader if he can buy a piece of residential land. I will pay for building a house for grandpa and grandma to live in. This way, we don't have to worry about other people's opinions anymore."
