Yang Wenbing's face suddenly turned gloomy.
In Xu Wenbing's opinion, it was only natural to withdraw from Xu Zhiyi's relationship.
Xu Zhiyi is stupid and foolish, and is often used as a tool in school. She is the one who rushes forward with just a few provocations.
She has poor grades and doesn't study hard. She just chases after him all day long and is shameless. She can't provide any support to his family and is not worthy of being Yang Wenbing's wife.
Not to mention that he generously agreed to compensate her Xu family, the Xu family was shameless and ungrateful, and even dared to attack him, which was simply unreasonable.
I don’t know who is so shameless to feel so good about himself.
He subconsciously ignored how much Xu Zhiyi had given him, and he was heartbroken to ask the Yang family for money and food coupons.
But he couldn't do anything now. If the matter got out of hand and he was found to have been sent to the countryside, it would be more trouble than it would take.
While there is still time, we should first solve the biggest problem of going to the countryside.
Yang Wenbing urged his mother, "Mom, stay calm and don't cause trouble. After I give the money to the Xu family, I need to quickly settle down with Wang Xiaohuan so she can find me a job. Otherwise, I'll go to the countryside."
When Yang Shengli heard his son talking about going to the countryside, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and he warned him in a stern tone: "Listen to Wen Bing, if you mess up your son's affairs, I won't forgive you."
Hearing Yang Shengli's serious words, Zhou Li subconsciously retracted her hand that was applying the medicine.
"As the head of the family, can't you ask big brother for help? He is an official now."
Yang Shengli had considered Zhou Li's words, but although his elder brother was a team leader under the Revolutionary Committee, he was unable to find a job for Yang Wenbing.
"Come to think of it, the Xu family doesn't know who is going to the countryside this time. The youngest son is a little small." It seemed like a casual remark, but it carried a hint of meaning.
Zhou Li was applying medicine on her hands non-stop when she heard the head of the household say, "Go to the countryside..."
Thinking of the requirements of the Youth League Office during this period, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, but his expression gradually became gloomy.
Yang Shengli understood what was going on, but he just quietly finished the cigarette in his hand.
Zhou Li applied medicine to the wounds on Yang Wenbing's face, helped him into the room, and applied medicine to the wounds on his body.
Looking at the bruises on his beloved son's body, his eyes were filled with heartache, and he became more determined in his thoughts.
......
As soon as the sun rose in the morning, the courtyard became bustling with activity. Hardworking women woke up early to make breakfast, and the sounds of neighbors talking and children crying rose and fell.
Zhou Li got up at her usual time and prepared breakfast as usual.
Breakfast was porridge with pickled mustard greens. I had breakfast with Yang Shengli. Zhou Li cleaned up and Yang Shengli went to work.
Zhou Li gave birth to three children for the Yang family. She gave birth to two daughters in the first three years, and did not get pregnant again in the next three years.
I've heard a lot of gossip from neighbors, saying that if I can't give birth to a son, there's no one to break the pot when I die and continue the family line.
Unable to give birth to a son, Yang Shengli, who had always been honest and simple in public, became more and more ashamed and his temper became more and more weird.
This kind of weirdness doesn't mean drinking and beating people. Yang Shengli, who has always been a face-conscious person, would hit someone in this courtyard without privacy.
Maybe his workplace will find out about it tomorrow.
Yang Shengli couldn't afford to lose face, but not having a son made him feel embarrassed and upset.
He doesn't say how much he likes his two daughters at home, but he will never lend a hand, hug them, or coax them.
Even if her daughter cried heartbreakingly, she would at most call Zhou Li to come and comfort her, regardless of whether she was busy or not.
The chauvinism of turning a blind eye at home and having men work outside and women stay at home has always been subjective.
This is especially evident in families that favor boys over girls.
As usual, Yang Shengli would eat after work, throw away his bowl and chopsticks and go to rest, or stroll around the compound.
She would tease other boys in a friendly manner, and sometimes even take a candy from her pocket to tease them.
While chatting with Zhou Li, she inadvertently praised the chubby boy next door, saying that he looked like a blessed boy.
If I had a son, I would make sure he became a successful person and bring honor to my Yang family.
I couldn't hide my envy in my heart, eyes and words, but then I stopped myself from speaking and sighed with regret.
The head of the family is talking in private, while the neighbors outside are gossiping all the time.
The more Zhou Li felt, the more sorry she felt for the Yang family. She felt that she was incapable of giving birth to a son for the head of the family. She became more humble and pitiful in front of Yang Shengli.
She even blamed herself for not being able to give birth to a son, thinking herself to be the sinner of the Yang family.
All I can say is that Yang Shengli is very good at PUA, and even made Zhou Li gradually engage in self-PUA, which was extremely deep and serious.
Giving birth to a son brings her demonic obstacles, and giving birth to a daughter will be the karmic obstacles in front of her.
In her opinion, it was because she gave birth to a daughter that she suffered so much grievance and felt guilty towards the Yang family, and her self-restraint became increasingly severe.
After feeling aggrieved for so long, he was afraid that his daughter was his own, so he could only give her some food at most, and nothing more.
It was not until Zhou Li successfully gave birth to her son Yang Wenbing three years later that she felt as if she had made a great comeback in her long and arduous struggle, and she felt proud and satisfied.
Once you have a son, he is a treasure, held in your hands and loved in your heart.
The daughter is a weed, as always, being ordered around, ignored, and taught to be nice to her younger brother and to be a supportive brother when she grows up.
Blaming a woman's fate on whether she gave birth to a son was typical and sad of that era, and a realistic reflection of the vast majority of families.
The cycle continues, and even after their own children get married, the idea of having a son to carry on the family line, which has been instilled in them since childhood, becomes deeply ingrained, forming a vicious cycle.
