During normal conversations, my mother-in-law’s words are full of pride in her son and satisfaction with her current life.
My daughter-in-law is two years older than my son. They were arranged to be married and grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
But my daughter-in-law was unlucky and lost her parents when she was a teenager.
At that time, food was scarce. As a girl, she was not allocated any land. Her uncles and aunts did not want her, so she was taken to live with her mother-in-law when she was in her teens.
At that time, my father-in-law was still alive, and my parents-in-law were very nice people. They did not look down on her, nor did they torture her or make her do heavy work just because she had no family.
Later, my father-in-law died unexpectedly, and the three of them were left at home.
The mother-in-law took charge and held a simple wedding for the two of them after her son took the college entrance examination, and they lived together.
The daughter-in-law is very grateful for the kindness her mother-in-law and husband have shown her over the years, and she works very hard.
The family can be said to be harmonious and happy.
Before today, the auntie who worked in the convenience store always thought that their family lived a good life.
The population is simple, just a mother-in-law and her son and daughter-in-law.
My son is a college student and has been assigned a job in the city.
My daughter-in-law is capable and has good business.
Although she had never seen the son that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about for more than a year, they both praised him when they talked about him, so she felt that her son must be good.
I never expected that meeting my son today would be so bloody.
"Where did you come from? You're talking nonsense. He's my boyfriend. I know him better than you do. This mother and daughter are just taking advantage of my boyfriend's kindness and trying to repay him."
As soon as the curly-haired woman saw the aunt come out to speak, she turned her attention to her.
"How could I not know? We've known each other for over a year, and my eldest sister told me that this is her son and daughter-in-law. Ask him if the money for his schooling was earned penny by his mother and his wife."
The old lady put her hands on her hips and spoke louder than the curly-haired woman.
"More than a year, ha, I've known my boyfriend for more than four years. He's an orphan. We have a very good relationship, and we're getting married soon. You, especially you, please stop talking nonsense and ruining our relationship."
The curly-haired woman obviously believed what the man said and thought that everyone else was talking nonsense and trying to get in touch with him.
The aunt was speechless for a moment. She felt that what the woman selling things at the stall said was true, but the curly-haired woman's tone was also very firm.
She was also a little confused in her heart.
If he was really the eldest sister's son, why didn't he know where his mother and wife were setting up the stall, and why did he bring a third party here so openly?
The field suddenly became quiet.
The curly-haired woman felt she had won, having silenced all those who were talking nonsense.
She pulled the man who was kneeling on the ground.
"Brother Yong, please get up. Didn't they feed you for a few years when your parents passed away? It wasn't much money. I'll ask my dad to return the money to them. Stop clinging to you like a blood-sucking worm."
After saying this, without waiting for the man to speak, she turned to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with contempt in her eyes.
"You're almost there. Just tell me how much money you want and I'll have my dad give it to you. After we get married, don't bring your daughter to see Brother Yong anymore."
My mother-in-law collapsed on the ground, her lips trembling. She looked at the man kneeling in front of her without saying a word, her eyes already red and swollen from crying.
"Yong'er, are you an orphan? Are both your parents dead? How have I wronged you over the years to make you say such things?"
My mother-in-law spoke incoherently and almost fainted.
The man's breathing became heavier, his hands clenched into fists, and as his mother-in-law finished speaking, a tear fell to the ground.
He kowtowed to his mother-in-law.
The voice was low and soft.
The people around were talking so loudly that it was almost impossible to hear what he said. Only Ye Jiaying could hear clearly what he said.
"Mom, her father is the director. He arranged all my work. Please help your son."
My mother-in-law kept shaking her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.
The young daughter-in-law also heard it nearby, and her face turned pale instantly.
She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It was the mother-in-law who asked when she felt her daughter-in-law's hand suddenly exerting force on her arm.
"What about Xiang'er?"
The curly-haired woman was arguing with the onlookers nearby and didn't notice what was happening here.
The man raised his head and took a quick look at his daughter-in-law, then lowered his voice again.
"We didn't get a marriage certificate. I'm sorry for you. I will make it up to you in the future."
Ye Jiaying has good hearing and heard this sentence clearly.
Compensation? Damn, she's been with you for four years, what are you going to give her as compensation?
Your worthless life?
The young daughter-in-law shook her head.
"You don't need to compensate me. Just consider it as a way to repay my parents for raising me for so many years."
In the 1980s, many people simply set up two tables of banquets at home and considered themselves married. Some went back to get a marriage certificate, while others did not go.
Some children only apply for a replacement marriage certificate when they are about to get married.
The two of them did not have a marriage certificate at the beginning because they were both under the age limit.
Later, the man went to college and was very busy. There were other people in the village who lived the same way, but the three of them did not mention it specifically.
I didn't expect that it would be easier for men to do this kind of thing now.
Ye Jiaying listened and shook her head.
No wonder this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along so well, these two new ones are so good.
A man who is two-timing and can say that he is an orphan for the sake of his future was only slapped twice. It was too easy for him.
When the daughter-in-law said that there was no need for compensation, and that she would just consider it as a way of repaying her parents for raising her for so many years, the man could clearly feel relieved.
He said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry for you. You should wait for me for a few years. Once I'm on my feet, I will definitely make it up to you..."
It turns out to be the worst of the worst.
He first abandons his mother and wife who have no help from him for the sake of his future, and then when he succeeds, he wants to abandon the people who helped him and come back?
Does he think he is very affectionate?
The curly-haired woman was getting more and more angry and almost hit a passerby.
People felt it was unlucky and didn't want to cause trouble, so they left, and she turned back.
Seeing the man still kneeling on the ground and talking to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she suddenly got angry and lost her temper at the man.
"What are you still doing here? Let's go. Don't bring me here again."
When the man heard the curly-haired woman getting angry, he swallowed what he was about to say, quickly stood up and walked towards the curly-haired woman.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other and stood up. They looked at their son/husband and humbly coaxed the curly-haired woman to leave.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stared at him with dull eyes, as if they had given up on this person.
Ye Jiaying didn't understand why the two people accepted this result so quickly.
Shouldn't we give him a good beating and then report the matter to his workplace to thwart his plans?
As a bystander, Ye Jiaying felt that if she were to meet such an ungrateful and ungrateful man, she would definitely not let him off easily, and at worst, both of them would be destroyed.
But as the person involved, the mother-in-law loves her son too much.
