Yu Sui's words really made Sun Yuying happy:
"What are you talking about? I was just thinking about those two children. These children always grow closer the longer you raise them. Now I'm happy to see them every day after work. If your brother is a loser and becomes a clerk or learns a trade at home early, then with our family's current situation, it will be difficult for us to get married."
People will look down on your sister and the two children. No good girl would want to marry into our family. Even if someone did marry into our family, they would find your sister distasteful and quarrel with her all the time. Then your father and I would have a hard time. Your sister would also have a hard time. Your brother would also have a hard time being caught between so many people. Even you, a sister-in-law, would have to be dragged into the fight. Don’t you think so?”
It is really rare for a rural woman to be able to think things through to this extent.
Yu Sui praised Sun Yuying generously:
"Yes, yes, yes, mother, you are absolutely right! To reward my mother for being so open-minded, I will go to the county to make you some clothes tomorrow!"
Sun Yuying glanced at her and said, "Come on, don't be so frivolous. I know Xia Lin treats you well, and you manage the money. But you should keep the money and the cloth coupons for yourself. Now our family has three more people to support, and you have to help pay Yu Cheng's tuition, so don't spend money recklessly. Oh, if only the factory was still there, then I wouldn't have to worry about your sister. Who knew it would turn out like this."
Yu Sui thought about what happened yesterday and couldn't help but ask Sun Yuying for confirmation: "Mom, speaking of this, I just want to ask you, was Yu Laojiu good to our family when he was young?"
"Yu Laojiu?" Sun Yuying thought for a moment: "Why are you mentioning him? You want to know what he did when he was young?"
"I'm just asking. I was mowing grass for the pigs yesterday when I heard him crying at home."
"Alas! He is just too honest." Sun Yuying concluded:
"It's not good for men or women to be too honest. When he was young, he went to Shanghai to work as a sand carrier. It was not easy work. The big ships couldn't easily dock, so they had to build gangplanks. Then, little by little, these coolies would carry sand, bricks, and stones to the shore. Oh, each load was several pounds of heavy work, and it was easy to get hurt. If you weren't careful, you could fall into the river.
But even for this kind of work, they still have to stay at the dock day and night. If the ship is not familiar with them, they won't let them do the job. So he rarely comes back. He doesn't know that the woman at his house is having an affair with someone else just because he doesn't come back!
Yu Sui was surprised: "Ah? There is such a thing? Who is he messing around with?"
"You...ah, Sui'er, if you had asked me a few months ago, I wouldn't have told you this. It's all just a bunch of nonsense, a girl shouldn't listen to it. But now, you're married, so it's okay to know what's wrong. As for that wife of his, I heard those old ladies gossiping about her and Old Octopus having a head and tail relationship."
Yu Sui: “……!” It’s so messy!
There is actually such a thing.
It's so speechless.
However, after being speechless, Yu Sui suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange and indescribable.
Yu Sui thought about it and couldn't help asking Sun Yuying: "Then, mother, does Yu Laojiu know about this?"
Sun Yuying said disdainfully, "You're so stupid, how could you not know? In villages like ours, there are so many people who love to gossip. If someone farts at the head of the village, everyone in the village will know about it, let alone something as shameful as stealing a man."
"Then...how did Yu Laojiu's wife die?"
Sun Yuying: "I'm sick."
"What's wrong?"
Sun Yuying thought for a moment, "I'm not entirely sure. It happened so long ago. Yu Laojiu's heavy work took its toll on his health. He was only in his forties, but his back wasn't working. He once fell into a river and nearly drowned, so he came back to recuperate. Ever since then, their family has been arguing, but it was always that woman who cursed Yu Laojiu, and her words were quite harsh."
I had just been married for a short time at that time, and I asked people why the women in your village were so powerful, scolding men like grandsons. People said that only Yu Laojiu's woman was like that. Yu Laojiu was too honest and was bullied by a woman. After they talked a lot, I found out that the woman had an affair with another man.
Later, the woman became ill. I heard that her stomach was not good. She kept vomiting, even vomiting blood and other things. Afterwards, she could hardly move, and even scolding was not enough. However, Yu Laojiu took good care of her.
Yu Sui's heart skipped a beat: "Didn't Yu Laojiu take that woman to the hospital?"
"You're such a fool! In the past, you didn't have to go to the hospital all the time. Who would have to go to the hospital just because they vomited after eating something bad?"
"But didn't you say you were still vomiting blood?"
"I heard it from another woman. Who knows if it's true?"
Yu Sui's doubts grew: "But later on, he couldn't move, and he wasn't sent to the hospital?"
"Tell me, who in our village would go to the hospital all the time? Besides, by that time, her two sons would have married and had grandchildren. To put it bluntly, a woman of this age is no longer useful. Even if she died, no one would take her seriously. I think I'm almost that old. You're all grown up, and I'm worthless. Well, are you going to go out or not? Why are you nagging me about these useless things? Get up!"
Maybe it was because talking about this kind of topic was so sad, but Sun Yuying's face turned stern and she looked obviously unhappy.
Yu Sui dodged the hand she was trying to pat her head with while yelling, "Mom, that's not true. If a woman is good to her children and her family, she will become more precious as she gets older. Mom, I treasure you. You are my greatest treasure."
"Puchi!" Sun Yuying was immediately amused by Yu Sui: "You little girl, with that mouth of yours, did someone steal some honey from you in the middle of the night?"
"I'm not kidding you, seriously. Just because you were thinking about your elder sister and making plans for your younger brother, I think you're our little treasure. If you have a headache or a fever, I'll take you to see a doctor."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous. Oh my god, what's going on? I don't want a headache or a fever!"
Sun Yuying slapped Yu Sui in amusement and anger, and the two girls were pulled together on the bed to make love.
A voice called out from the door: "Mom, what's wrong? Is it that Second Sister doesn't want to come? If not, forget it."
Yu Sui poked her head out and saw Yu Cheng standing at the door rubbing his eyes.
Yu Sui immediately got out of bed, rushed over and twisted his ear: "Wake up, your whole family wants you to go to high school. You have to go. Not only do you have to go to high school, but you have to study well. If you don't study well, I will beat you with a big stick!"
Yu Cheng bared his teeth and begged Sun Yuying for help: "Oh, mother, mother, my second sister hit me, please save me!"
Sun Yuying glanced at him sideways. "Save you? You might as well put your other ear close to me! You should honestly sign up for school. You should know that you are the only male in this family. If you are a nobody, who will support this family? Hurry up and sign up!"
