Zhao Xiaoxing's tears fell down and she choked up: "Why do I have to give in? Just because I married you? Just because I have a rural household registration... You are a city dweller, right?"
"No!" Gu Yi shook his head: "Don't try to get close to me! I'm talking about your attitude! Can't you be a little more tolerant? My brother and his wife live outside, and their room is just right. There's no room for others. Xuan lives alone, and we live alone too. Why can't you just put up with it for a few months until Xuan goes to college?"
"Look at your eldest sister!" Zhao Xiaoxing questioned, "Is she the type to live with others?! She won't even talk to me! How can I live with her? I'm afraid of her too."
Gu Yi said loudly and angrily: "You are afraid of my mother, my elder sister and younger sister! But they are all my relatives, my dearest relatives! Can't you be patient for me? Why don't you think about me? They are the people who will be tied to us for the rest of our lives!"
He could understand her and think about her, but why couldn't she just stand in his shoes and think about him for once!
"Didn't I?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked aggrievedly, "I'm not ignoring them! I'm responsible for the work I'm supposed to do. When have I ever done less? When we lived together, I did the most work. Now when I come to eat at my sister-in-law's place, I'm still the one doing the most work! Am I really that bad? Do I really make you so impatient? I'm not a powerful woman like my sister-in-law, but I've also been lazy for a day! I've worked hard enough...but you always complain that I'm not doing enough!"
How could he say it so confidently?! How could he not see that she had actually tried very hard?
She came from a family where she had lived for more than a decade to a completely unfamiliar place, a family where everyone except her was a stranger.
He has his own family to consider and worry about, so she has to worry with him - but why doesn't he understand that she has actually tried hard enough?
Why can't he be more considerate of me? He just keeps demanding things of me! Can't he see that she's already working very hard? !
"Don't look too far!" Gu Yi shouted, "Who isn't suffering? Who isn't suffering in this world? Who isn't gritting their teeth to get by every day? I'm going to ask you a question now - before Xuan gets admitted to university and goes out to study, we'll move back to the first floor of Linjiang until she goes out to study - do you want to? Do you agree?"
"I..." Zhao Xiaoxing hesitated and whispered: "Will Xuan be satisfied? Will your mother come back secretly?"
Gu Yi said in a deep voice: "We can move out if she comes back. It's not like we have nowhere to move. It will take several months for us to buy the old house and rebuild it. We will move back to live in the house. There are many people moving around in the house, and Xuan doesn't think it's safe for a girl to live alone. In addition, we can take care of her when we cook. She finds it troublesome and usually eats cold steamed buns. It's okay to eat a few meals occasionally, but it will definitely be bad for her health for a long time."
The family has always been taken care of by his eldest brother and his wife, and he and Xiao Xing cannot always hide behind them all day long.
It's like the time the old lady secretly went out to gamble again the other day. Obviously everyone is busy with their work, and the eldest brother and his wife are even busier than them, but the eldest brother was able to notice the old lady's abnormality, but he didn't.
In the past, he was a poor boy, who could feed the whole family with his own food. But now he has started a family and has a career. He has to help his eldest brother with family responsibilities and can no longer always hide behind him and rely on his eldest brother for protection.
If there is an empty room in Sanyuan, my eldest brother might let Xuan stay there directly.
But there is only a study on the first floor, with hollow glass windows everywhere, which is very inconvenient for a girl like Xuan to live there.
Renting a house is expensive, but there are two empty rooms on the first floor facing the river. It would be better for the couple to move back to Dong. On the one hand, they can take care of their sister more responsibly, and on the other hand, they can save some money and live in a better place.
"This family has always been taken care of by my eldest brother and his wife." Gu Yi's face was gloomy, and he whispered: "We are also part of this big family. We can't always rely on my eldest brother and them. We must also learn to take on some responsibilities and do what we can. You are my daughter-in-law, you have to stand by me. This is good for me, for you, and for the future of the whole family."
Zhao Xiaoxing was in great difficulty and whispered, "...I'll think about it."
"Give you a day or two to think about it." Gu Yi didn't want to push her too hard, and said in a deep voice: "I hope you can agree, because it's better for us to live in the factory than outside. The kitchen over there is big, and everything is ready, so it's convenient to make something to eat. If you rent someone else's place, you're afraid that the landlord will hear you if you speak loudly. Do you like to always rent someone else's place outside?"
"I don't like it." Zhao Xiaoxing said in a low voice: "But what can I do? In my opinion, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it is better than being looked down upon by your mother all day long. You know how your mother and your younger sister treat me."
Mental contempt and insult are much more unbearable than external conditions!
Gu Yi frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"I know, but they are no longer at the first floor of Linjiang. Now there is only Ah Xuan, so you don't have to worry too much."
After saying this, he stepped forward and continued walking.
Zhao Xiaoxing looked at his back, turned on the flashlight and followed him.
"I know... you blame me in your heart."
Gu Yi glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "I can't blame you. I still have some expectations of you."
Zhao Xiaoxing was very depressed and didn't say anything.
Gu Yi explained calmly, "When my eldest sister-in-law married into my family, my mother's attitude was almost the same as her attitude towards you. My sister-in-law put up with my mother for a long time, until my eldest brother brought her here, she dared to treat my mother like that... It's not that I treated her harshly, nor that my sister-in-law was wrong, but actually my mother was wrong, so my eldest brother always stood on my sister-in-law's side."
"You...you are not standing on my side now?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked with a sob.
Gu Yi shook his head: "I'm talking about Gu Xuan, not my mom. If my mom lived alone now, I wouldn't worry about her at all. She's such a strong and big girl, thieves and criminals would have to beat her when they see her. Tell me honestly, when did my mom bully you and I didn't stand by you? Tell me yourself!"
Zhao Xiaoxing lowered her head and whispered, "...you are all."
Gu Yi glared at her and said, "So, just be happy by yourself. My sister-in-law has tolerated my mother for a long time. My brother - including me and Gu Xuan, we all feel sorry for my sister-in-law. Now my sister-in-law ignores my mother. She is very generous in giving her food and drink. But if my mother does something a little bit out of line, she will no longer tolerate her. We can all see this."
"That's all because of my eldest brother." Zhao Xiaoxing said, "Besides, this is my sister-in-law's family home, not your hometown in the capital."
Gu Yi thought about it and shook his head: "There are more reasons than these... I think the biggest reason is that my sister-in-law has changed. She is now studying at university, has a lot of knowledge, and can make money. It's inevitable for a capable woman to be a little arrogant."
Zhao Xiaoxing was confused and asked, "What on earth are you talking about? Are you praising your sister-in-law? Or not? I don't understand."
"I don't know either." Gu Yi replied.
Zhao Xiaoxing rolled her eyes at him and continued walking forward.
After a while, the two came to the door of the rental house and took out the key to unlock it.
Gu Yi used the light of the flashlight to remove the padlock, then pushed the door open and turned on the light.
The lights in the room suddenly came on, and the two cute little kittens started meowing.
Gu Yi walked forward gently and held them in his arms.
Zhao Xiaoxing frowned in disdain: "They are so dirty! You have to wash your hands later and shake off the hair on your clothes, otherwise you can't go to bed!"
Gu Yi looked up at her with a smile.
Zhao Xiaoxing felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, so she asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Gu Yi said "Ah!", sighed and smiled: "You seem to be more and more like my current sister-in-law."
Zhao Xiaoxing glared at him and asked, "Isn't that good? I want to learn skills and make money from my sister-in-law!"
"No." Gu Yi explained: "I'm talking about character and attitude."
Zhao Xiaoxing snorted: "Then why don't you learn more from your big brother and pamper me more? Big brother and sister-in-law are doing so well now!"
"well……"
