Two pairs of parents
The old lady sat in front of the stove wiping her tears.
Qin Wenli became annoyed and turned around and followed him out.
The old lady burst into tears.
Yang Xiu advised her: "Come on, why are you adding to the chaos? This house is already in enough of a mess every day."
The old lady sobbed and said, "It's all my fault. I should have just not brought Wenli here. I have harmed the baby..."
Not long after Yang Xiu got married, she pieced together Qin Wenli's life story from fragmentary quarrels: her mother-in-law, Hu Yufeng, gave birth to two children who did not survive, and the old lady coaxed and persuaded the old lady to adopt Qin Wenli, a child from the same clan. However, because Hu Yufeng did not really want to raise the child, she had never been kind to Qin Wenli since childhood.
Yang Xiu was overwhelmed because it was the same thing every time. She has been married for six years, and the old lady's rhetoric has not changed a word.
What can she do? She can only coax...
"Alright, alright, stop crying. No one is saying anything to you, and Wenli doesn't blame you..."
The old lady was still crying.
Yang Xiu had no choice but to use his trump card: "If you keep crying, all the good luck in your family will be gone..."
The old lady stopped sobbing when she heard this.
Yang Xiu asked the old lady to leave and resigned himself to starting the fire to cook the sauce.
It was almost twelve o'clock by the time I lay down on the kang.
The two children couldn't wait for their mother and fell into a deep sleep.
Yang Xiu originally wanted to counsel Qin Wenli some more, but he fell asleep the moment he touched the pillow.
Qin Wenli listened to the even breathing of his wife and children, and his troubled mind was calmed down a little.
Hu Yufeng was lying on the kang, still thinking about Qin Xiaoqin's words.
When Yang Xiu first got married, she was very respectful to her mother-in-law and also took good care of Xiaoqin, who was five years younger than her.
Since when did it become like this?
The old men and women in the village gossiped, saying that adopted children are not as filial as biological children, and that the adopted son of someone else's family took his wife and children to look for his biological parents...
After hearing this several times, she began to take it to heart. She felt that she had been mean to Wenli since he was a child, and that this child might be even more unreliable after getting married.
He beat the two of them every few days.
She also complained to Xiaoqin several times, and Xiaoqin helped her deal with Yang Xiu and Wen Li.
At that time, she thought that she was the one who raised her closest relative, but now that she has come to her senses, she has discovered that Xiaoqin's character has been distorted by her.
Before I had the dream, I lived my life as I pleased. After I had the dream, I had to clean up the mess made by my former self every day.
This is retribution...
In the darkness, she beat her chest angrily.
In a blink of an eye, it is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
On the side of National Highway 308, a couple wrapped tightly were standing waiting for the bus.
It was Qin Wenli and Yang Xiu.
Qin Wenli was determined not to send the meat, but he went to his father-in-law's house anyway. His old father-in-law had a long talk with him and told him a lot of heartfelt words. Only then did Qin Wenli feel relieved.
Today, Hu Yufeng got up early, packed the meat and dried vegetables, and sent the two of them out.
The bus from Yang County to Qingyuan County slowly stopped in front of the two.
When the master saw the large and small bags in the two people's hands, he hurriedly opened the rear cabin and said, "Put the luggage in the cabin."
The two of them sat down and bought their tickets. Someone who knew them asked, "Wenli, where are you two going?"
Qin Wenli smiled and replied, "Let's go to the plateau."
Two hours later, Qin Wenli and his companion got off the car and stood at the intersection, hesitating for a moment, carrying their things.
This was the second time that Yang Xiu, the ugly daughter-in-law, met her parents-in-law. The first time was when they got married, Qin Wenli brought her to kowtow to his parents.
Qin Wenli was afraid of returning home.
They haven't seen each other for more than two years, ever since his elder brother tried to take him to do business but was rejected.
He was in a conflicted mood. On the one hand, he was concerned about his parents' health, and on the other hand, he resented them for sending him away.
When he was a child, he dreamed that his parents would take him home one day, and the dream became more and more clear as he grew older.
No matter which side he is on, he is the one who is abandoned...
Later, Hu Yufeng was even more afraid that he would contact his biological parents, and she guarded against him as she would a thief.
The elderly people in the village reminded him to be filial, his relatives and elders reminded him to be filial, and even his biological parents advised him to be filial.
Those words were like a cage, binding him tightly to the archway of filial piety.
Then he will be a filial son as they wish!
The cold wind blew and Yang Xiu couldn't help stamping his feet.
He turned to look at his wife's anxious face and said softly, "Let's go..."
Qin Wenjun was chopping wood in the yard.
I heard a voice of "Big Brother". He looked up and saw two figures standing outside the fence.
He shouted in disbelief: "Wenli?"
The man looked at him and smiled.
He put down his axe and ran over to open the wooden fence, grabbing Qin Wenli with trembling hands:
"Come in quickly, come in quickly..."
While pulling the two of them, he shouted, "Mom, mom, Wenli is back..."
When Qin Wenli heard him say "yes", his expression changed slightly.
I saw an old woman in her sixties coming out of the room with a cane.
When she saw Qin Wenli, tears started to flow.
While wiping away tears, she kept saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
A group of people entered the house. Qin's mother held Yang Xiu with one hand and Qin Wenli with the other, crying and laughing.
They were both invited to sit on the kang, and then the family sat down and chatted.
Only then did Brother Qin notice the large and small bags they were carrying.
He disagreed, "What are you doing? You have to be so polite when you go back to your own home. It's already hard at home, and you still have to bring so many things."
Qin's mother also agreed: "It would be great if you two could come visit me more often. Why would you bring anything?"
Qin Wenli smiled and said it was okay, as it was just their own meat and it didn’t cost any money.
Brother Qin said to him: "Our own meat is also fed with grain. So, I will find someone to sell it to. You can keep the money for yourselves. It will be inconvenient to do anything without money..."
Qin Wenli quickly refused, as he had saved up some pocket money.
Brother Qin knew his brother's situation very well and did not believe his lies.
Qin Wenli had no choice but to tell about his family’s tofu-making experience over the past three months. Not to mention Brother Qin, even Mother Qin was shocked.
"Your mother took the initiative to suggest making tofu! Did she really suggest it herself?"
Qin Wenli nodded in agreement.
Mother Qin couldn't believe it.
Here, Mrs. Qin had already hurriedly prepared two bowls of noodles and brought them over. Qin Wenli and the other man were very polite and courteous, but they finally got a glare from their eldest brother and had to eat obediently.
After dinner, Yang Xiu was called to the inner room by the old lady, while Brother Qin took Qin Wenli aside to have a detailed chat.
Listen to Qin Wenli's detailed account of the business over the past three months.
Brother Qin nodded frequently as he listened: "Last time, Auntie didn't let you do it, and I regretted it afterwards. I always thought that I should be tougher and bring you guys back."
He said with red eyes: "Don't worry about what Auntie has in mind, as long as I can get you out, you can make a name for yourself."
Qin Wenli thought for a moment and told his elder brother about his private savings.
After hearing this, Brother Qin couldn't help but look Qin Wenli up and down: "It's good that you have come to your senses. I'm glad that you can think of leaving a way out for yourself. In the past two years, I was really afraid that you would fall into a dead end."
He seemed quite pleased to see his brother grow up.
Qin Wenli couldn't help but smile.
