The more she spoke, the more disgusted she felt. Just thinking of that man named Ma San Gang, his donkey face and hunched body, made her want to vomit.
Wang Songhua had seen some good ones before. Last year, she saw the boys from the Chen and Xia families. Both of them were much more handsome than this one. It’s easy to compare goods, let alone people.
Hu Xiaohong was originally in a good mood. She had just had her daughter kick over the bean basin and hadn't said anything. But when she heard what she said, she felt a surge of anger. "Can you stop being so picky? Girls your age in the village have long been saying that you're not good at this and you don't like that. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but can't you just look in the mirror and see what you're like? Why do you have to find a god?"
Ever since your father passed away, I never looked for him again so that you and your sister wouldn't suffer any injustice. Was it easy for me to raise you? Your brother got married and forgot about your mother, and now you are so disobedient. I do all these thankless tasks so that you can live a good life in the future! "
Wang Songhua's marriage has been going badly ever since she had a fight with her sister-in-law last time. When people came here to inquire, they heard that the mother and daughter had beaten Li Yuqin so hard that she had a miscarriage. How did she get the reputation of being mean and mean-spirited? Doesn't her mother have any idea? It's obvious that her mother just can't stand her daughter-in-law and insisted on asking her for help. Now, her mother is a widow and her daughter-in-law has already been married. Her reputation is ruined, but what about her?
Nowadays, any decent young man, as soon as he hears that the girl he wants to meet is her, his family will jump out and disagree.
But when she thought about how much her mother had suffered for her and her brother over the years, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Wang Songhua didn't want to argue with her mother in the yard, as it would make people laugh at her and her reputation would only get worse, so she just walked into the house.
Hu Xiaohong did not go in to argue. She sat in the yard with a sullen face, picking beans, wanting to wait until both of them calmed down before talking. She was definitely going to marry into the Ma family, as they were the only family with good financial conditions who didn't mind their daughter's reputation.
She thought that avoiding quarreling would help her calm down, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her children were all debts. They all had their own little thoughts when they grew up, and some of them forgot their mothers after getting married. And this usually obedient daughter was also a worry!
When it was getting dark, the old woman who had previously proposed marriage to Wang Songhua came over. Hu Xiaohong pulled her into the main room, and the two of them whispered for a long time before sending her out. Wang Songhua saw with her own eyes that the old woman was smiling when she left, and her mother's old face also smiled like a chrysanthemum.
She thought of the mothers she had seen who sold their daughters for money, and her face turned extremely ugly.
So, Hu Xiaohong came back with a happy face, but as soon as she walked into the main room, she saw her daughter's gloomy face.
"What's the old woman doing here?"
"What can you do? It's still your marriage. You are already twenty years old. If you delay any longer, you will become an old maid." Hu Xiaohong said indifferently.
She was angry about what Wang Songhua said in the afternoon, so she decided to ignore her opinion and just finalize the marriage. Anyway, she would understand later that she was doing it for her own good.
A storm was gathering in Wang Songhua's eyes. The anger she had suppressed all afternoon finally erupted at this moment.
She suddenly stood up and yelled at Hu Xiaohong, "Can you please ask me what I think? I told you I don't want to marry Ma Sangang, but you don't understand. Do you really want me to kill him like Yang Weihong in the future?"
Wang Songhua's temper is even more impulsive than her brother's, but she rarely talks back to Hu Xiaohong, no matter what happens.
She could understand the hard work her mother went through in raising her and her brother alone.
She remembered how difficult the family was in the years after Old Man Wang passed away. Her mother was the only woman who supported the family at that time. Some people introduced widowed men to her mother, but her mother rejected them all. So as long as she didn't go too far, Wang Songhua and her brother would tolerate her. They were tolerant and sympathetic to Hu Xiaohong's frequent complaints.
Wang Songhua's attitude was worse than in the afternoon and even worse than before. How could Hu Xiaohong, who always kept her word, tolerate this? Wang Songbai's insistence on dividing the family had already dealt her a huge blow. What Wang Songhua said this time instantly wiped out her good mood because of the marriage.
"I'm your mother, and I don't even have the right to decide your marriage? Don't forget that I raised you. You ate and drank from me. Now that you've grown wings, you dare not disobey me? You're just as ungrateful as your brother. I shouldn't have been so reluctant to let you go. What kind of people are these two people whom I raised with so much effort? Your grandmother looked down on you so much back then. If I hadn't protected you, you would have been drowned in the urine bucket. And now you have the chance to yell at me!"
She was in a bad mood, so her expression and tone were naturally not good. When she talked about drowning in the urine bucket, the cruel look on her face seemed as if she was really regretting it.
Wang Songhua was even more furious when she heard this.
Sure enough, her mother didn't take her seriously at all!
She also didn't expect Hu Xiaohong to hold her in the palm of her hand like Qu Tingniang did, and give her so many dowries when they got married. She just wanted to marry someone she liked, but why didn't her mother agree?
"You used to say how much you loved me, but I think it was all lies. Now you're finally telling the truth and you even want to drown me. Is there any mother like you? I don't think you're worthy of being a mother at all!"
Hu Xiaohong was so angry that her lips trembled, her hands shook and she couldn't speak.
"I'm telling you, if you insist on me marrying him, I'll just stab him like Yang Weihong did. Then I'll be a murderer, and if the government asks me, I'll say you taught me to do it. I'll see where you, as his mother, will put your dignity!"
Hu Xiaohong gasped, unable to believe these words came from her usually well-behaved daughter. She shrieked, "I think you're crazy. You still want to be a murderer? Yang Weihong has already been executed. Do you really want to follow in her footsteps?"
"You forced me to follow her path!" Wang Songhua said in a cold and hard voice.
Hu Xiaohong was so angry that she was shaking all over. "I'm telling you, it's impossible not to marry him. I've already made an agreement with the Ma family. We'll finalize your marriage in a few days, and you'll be able to marry him next spring. But now that I see your character, I don't need to wait until next spring. You can marry him after the autumn harvest!"
At this moment, Wang Songbai pushed the door open. He had just heard his mother and sister arguing in his room. At first, he thought they were just having a daily quarrel, but he didn't expect them to be still arguing for a long time. He thought of coming over to take a look, and Li Yuqin said that the mother and sister had already had a quarrel in the afternoon.
He just stood at the door and listened for a while. What kind of words did his mother say? Songhua was about to be forced to kill someone, but her mother still wanted to marry her off?
Hu Xiaohong's sharp roar reached his ears, making Wang Songbai feel even less sympathy for this mother.
