"Uncle, don't you have to go to work this afternoon? How can you drink alcohol while working?"
Sui Yuzhu asked with a smile.
Song Defa waved his hand nonchalantly, "I drink a little from time to time, but not much. It's nothing serious!"
It was at this time that Sui Yuzhu suddenly thought, could it be that her grandfather got into trouble because he drank alcohol?
Thinking of this, she said to Song Defa, "It's better not to drink at work. You have elderly parents and young children to take care of. If something happens, what will your family do?"
Hearing this, Song Xinlan and the others lowered their eyes and dared not speak.
No one in the family would dare talk to my father like that.
Song Xinlan even reached out and pulled Sui Yuzhu's sleeve, asking her to stop talking.
However, perhaps because Sui Yuzhu was a guest, Song Defa did not lose his temper. He just smiled and said, "Why do you speak so arrogantly, kid?"
As he said this, he laughed.
Seeing that her father was not angry, Song Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Mei also laughed: "Look, I'm not the only one saying this to you! Even a child knows that what you're doing is wrong! Change yourself in the future. The whole family depends on you for their livelihood. If something happens to you, what are you going to do for us?"
As he spoke, his expression became somewhat resentful.
Sui Yuzhu continued, "There was a neighbor of my adoptive parents' who worked in a factory. He drank half a liang of wine at noon that day. In the afternoon, he made a mistake at work and got one of his hands mixed in the machine and crushed it..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Song Xinlan's trembling voice: "Yuzhu, please don't say such terrible things!"
It was obvious that she was really scared, and she turned timidly to look at Song Defa.
Song Defa first looked at Sui Yuzhu, then turned his head to glance at his wife and children.
I don’t know if he remembered what Sui Yuzhu had told him last time, asking him to take care of his health, but he put the liquor away again.
"Okay, then I won't drink at noon from now on!"
Sui Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Listen to advice and eat your fill.
I originally thought that my grandfather was a stubborn person, but I didn't expect that he was a person who would listen to advice.
Although I don’t know how my grandfather got into the accident later, it’s only right not to drink during working hours.
While eating, Sui Yuzhu and Song Defa also had a very happy chat.
She really thought that her grandfather was a very traditional male chauvinist, but from chatting with him, she found that he was not as strong as he appeared.
Moreover, he really loves his family.
There is actually no difference in treating two daughters and two sons.
It is fair to buy things for children. Whatever the son has, the daughter will also have.
However, the education and ideas he received since childhood made him believe that men should earn money to support the family, and taking care of the husband and children should be the job of women.
Therefore, it is my grandmother who does all the housework and the children's education.
After all, my grandmother was a woman who had not received much education. At most, she attended a literacy class for a few days.
An uneducated woman has no thoughts of her own. She does not think and only knows how to obey.
Because they cannot access a higher level and do not have a higher vision.
The environment around her will naturally tell her that this is how life should be.
Since birth, everyone around them has brainwashed them into thinking that men are the most important. Women are inferior, born as accessories, and are supposed to "obey and serve" men.
Therefore, they would be proud to give birth to a son.
The family has successors and the incense continues.
Of course, they would not think about what use it would be to have a son who was spoiled like this and who needed support from his sisters at home.
Thinking of this, Sui Yuzhu turned her head to glance at her grandmother. She was less than forty years old, but she already had white hair on her temples.
In fact, Sui Yuzhu didn't hate her grandmother in her heart.
At most, I'm a little angry that they don't fight back.
She is also a tragedy of the times.
Most women are like this.
Although she is a girl, she attaches great importance to men.
Because it is the times that are oppressing them.
Her mother had told her before that her grandmother also suffered a lot when she was young.
Although she is the only girl in the family, she is not the apple of the eye.
She married my grandfather at the age of eighteen and gave birth to her eldest daughter, my mother, at the age of twenty.
For the next four years, she didn't get pregnant, and her mother-in-law often scolded her for this.
They scolded her for being a hen that couldn't lay eggs, for occupying the toilet without doing anything, and for destroying the Song family.
Even my grandmother's own mother felt that it was her fault for not giving birth to a son for her husband's family, which was a great act of unfilial piety.
Feeling guilty, he took her to seek medical treatment everywhere, hoping that she could give birth to a son for her husband's family.
During that period, I kept pouring down all kinds of Chinese medicines that were so bitter that the taste could be tasted even three days later, and I also drank a lot of incense ash and talisman water.
Fortunately, my grandfather was a man with a conscience. When his mother asked him to divorce and remarry someone who could have children, he stood firmly on my grandmother's side.
She also said that it doesn't matter even if she only has one daughter in this life.
Because of what he said, my grandmother was completely devoted to him. She was willing to try all kinds of folk remedies for having a child and constantly tortured her body in the hope of giving birth to a son for him to continue the family line.
Of course, during this period, she was often beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law.
He curses wherever there are more people, without giving any face at all.
When I was 24, I gave birth to my eldest uncle, and my life at my husband's house started to get better.
When I was 27 years old, I gave birth to my uncle, and I finally had a say in the family.
Only a woman with a son can gain a foothold in her husband's family, otherwise she will always be the lowest class.
My aunt came unexpectedly, it was an accident after she had an IUD inserted.
At that time, the country was advocating eugenics and good parenting. One child was a bit too few, two children were just right, and three children were a bit too many.
My aunt was the fourth child in the family, so she was not registered when she was born and has always been an unregistered resident. She only got her household registration and ID card after taking the college entrance examination.
Sui Yuzhu remembers that when she was little, her grandmother would hold her mother's hand, wiping away tears while crying, "What can we do? We're holding on tight now, but if you give birth to a girl, what will happen if your in-laws get angry with you in the future?"
I was young at that time and didn’t understand what they meant. Now that I have grown up, I can feel their helplessness and frustration.
Sometimes, Sui Yuzhu would think that the lyrics were really not wrong. Why should women make things difficult for other women?
The times have put shackles on women, but many times, the executors are also women.
It is women who make things difficult for women.
