Chapter 1 Nightmare, she turned into the evil mother-in-law who kept scolding?
"Mom, please eat some, or you'll collapse!"
"Mother-in-law, I will bear all the beatings and scoldings you want to give me, but I only ask you not to throw me away..."
"Don't mention anything that I don't like! The most important thing right now is for me to eat. Nothing is more important than my health!"
"Mom, please let us in."
When Shen Qing opened his eyes and saw the dark and low roofs above him, he was stunned and couldn't tell whether he was still dreaming.
She had the same dream for the past few days, and the dream was of the same dilapidated house.
Thatched roof, yellow mud and reed walls.
The dirt ground was bumpy, with several small puddles of water and muddy water around them, obviously caused by rain leaks.
There was no furniture in the room, it was so shabby.
Three or five gray sacks were piled against the corner of the wall, making the already low room seem even more crowded and narrow.
Shen Qing's eyes were full of confusion. Was she still dreaming and not awake?
Clear cries were heard outside the thin wooden door. Shen Qing opened his eyes wide and suddenly sat up from the bed in shock!
I suddenly stood up and felt dizzy. My heart sank to the bottom, but my mind became clearer.
The vicious old creature who has appeared in my dreams these days lives in this house!
The whole family includes a little granddaughter who is less than three years old. If something goes against her will, she will start crying and wailing. Only when she gets what she wants can the family return to peace.
From money and property to how many grains of rice to eat, how many bowls of water to drink, and when to sleep and when to get up, everything is decided by her!
This time it was probably because the eldest daughter-in-law had just given birth to her second daughter, and the old man was threatening to throw his two granddaughters out by going on a hunger strike - the eldest granddaughter was less than three years old, and the second granddaughter was not even a month old. They couldn't be sold, so he just found a remote wasteland on a hill and threw them away. One was sick and the other was weak, and they would starve to death in three to five days.
The eldest granddaughter is already three years old and will be able to work in two years. There was no need to throw her away, but she recently fell ill with a cold snap, and she gave birth to another money-losing baby. She was furious and didn't want to spend money on seeing a doctor or getting medicine, so she threatened to commit suicide and throw everything away.
There are some rules for threatening someone with death. First, you can't hang yourself. The reed hut is too low to hang a rope. You can only go to a distant forest to hang yourself. If no one comes for a while, you will really die.
Secondly, you can’t jump into the water, for the same reason as hanging yourself, you won’t have the chance to regret it.
So fasting was the best option, as it was safe and at the same time allowed him to control all his children. What child could stand to watch his own mother, who had given birth to him, skip meal after meal right before their eyes? In the end, whatever his mother said was what mattered, and he had to do whatever she told him to do!
If you compromise once, you will compromise twice, and compromising step by step will become a habit.
If he had used such scheming and manipulation outside, he would have become rich long ago. There would be no need to fight with his daughter-in-law and abandon his granddaughter to save food and scheme against his daughter.
After all the calculations, he didn't know what went wrong and ended up losing himself, allowing her to pass through.
She sighed, listened to the rumbling of her stomach, and said to the door, "I'm hungry, bring me some food."
The noisy noise outside the door paused for a moment, and then a joyful response came: "Hey, good!"
"Mom is finally willing to eat!"
The eldest daughter-in-law Huo Bing was kneeling on the ground, holding her thin daughter in her arms, and was stunned for a moment. A doubt flashed through her mind, but she didn't say it out.
Why would my mother-in-law start eating when she hasn't achieved her goal yet?
In the past, the mother-in-law would cry and pound the bed, and the head of the household or her brothers-in-law would have to agree before they would eat.
"Mom?" The thin Xiaohua looked up at her motionless mother and called out weakly to remind her.
The little girl rushed out from the side and grabbed Xiaohua, snapping and humming, "Hurry up! You're not well yet, you can't let your illness get any worse."
"Aunt, I, I just felt a little strange when I heard that mother wanted to eat something." Huo Bing explained with a forced smile.
In the past, Huo Bing would not have taken the initiative to talk to his sister-in-law Jiang Shui if she had been confronted and ridiculed by her, but this time, his mother-in-law wanted to abandon the two girls, and the one who opposed it most strongly in the family was his sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law may not have any feelings for the newly born Xiaocao, but since Xiaohua was born, Jiang Shui has taken care of her the most, except for her as the mother.
When it comes to raising children, the more one gives, the more one loves. Jiang Shui, who is lazy and fierce but guards his food, does not show any suspicion to Xiaohua and even takes food out of his mouth to give to Xiaohua.
This time, he was at the forefront of the opposition.
She was grateful from the bottom of her heart.
Jiang Shui picked up Xiao Hua and skillfully brushed off the dust on the little girl's skirt. Looking at the thin niece in his arms, he didn't say anything unlucky after all. Instead, he said, "Now that you are willing to eat, mother will definitely not throw away Xiao Hua and Xiao Cao."
Although I said this, I couldn't be optimistic in my heart.
She has been her mother's daughter for fifteen years, how could she not know her mother's style?
She must have been starving, so she filled her stomach first, and then cried in front of the older children, complaining that the maids were worthless, that the family was short of food and money, and that they had to raise two maids in vain and spend money on medical treatment, making life difficult for everyone. She was doing this for everyone's own good.
I have to say it again: you can find another wife, you can have another child, but you only have one mother who gave birth to them. In ancient times, burying a child to serve the mother became a famous story through the ages. Now, you are just throwing away two money-losing goods...
