Chapter 344 Xu Family Farce
If the matter could end here, it would not be a farce.
After Xu Guomin got married, the old lady of the Xu family would act like a mother-in-law and make trouble for the couple every now and then, and every time she used the excuse of "filial piety".
Perhaps it was because of the big quarrel before the marriage that Xu Guomin triggered some kind of ability and learned how to resist appropriately.
Especially when his mother made things difficult for his wife, he would always protect Zhao Min behind her first.
From then on, while working for Boss Xu and handing in his wages, he would often hear the old lady's cursing coming from the yard.
"Why did I give birth to such an evil creature like you? You must have been sent by God to collect a debt from me."
"I shouldn't have been soft-hearted when I gave birth to you. You cost me half my life to have you. If I had known you would be like this now, I should have strangled you to death immediately and saved me from the bad luck."
Words like these will only become more vicious.
Gradually, Old Mrs. Xu discovered that every time she scolded Xu Guomin like this, he would be quiet for a few days.
Of course, Zhao Min also knew why her husband was like this. Even if she knew what kind of environment he was in in this family, facing those words from her mother, no matter how indifferent a person was, he would be touched. It was probably a feeling of sadness! ! !
Whether it's sadness, guilt or heartbreak.
What was even more outrageous happened later when Xu Guomin and his wife had a daughter, Xu Rou.
The insults went from being directed at just one person to being directed at two people.
The old lady kept calling her granddaughter "a money-losing commodity" and "a stupid girl".
Many times, the nearby villagers couldn't stand it, and those who couldn't bear it and couldn't listen would step forward to persuade them: "Old lady of the Xu family, after all, they are your biological son and granddaughter. And it can be seen that the Guomin family will definitely be able to do great things in the future. If you really alienate them, you will be the ones who suffer in the end."
"Right, right, right. We can't just focus on the immediate benefits. After you two old couple pass away, your other children will still need their eldest brother to help them."
Every time at this time, the arrogant old lady Xu would be stunned for a moment as if thinking about something.
But after a while, the previous scene would be repeated in the yard like a slide show, and the whole house would be in chaos.
Why don’t you bring Zhao Min along?
It's just that you bully the weak and fear the strong.
I realized how fierce this daughter-in-law was, and it was only after experiencing it myself several times that I understood the fact.
It's totally impossible to take advantage of her.
She wanted to use the excuse of being unfilial, but outsiders only saw her acting like a mother-in-law.
Think... um...it's better not to think about it.
Zhao Min and Xu Guomin got together because they truly loved each other. As the saying goes, love the house and love the dog. She was prepared to do so at the beginning, but reality did not give her the chance.
At the beginning, the new daughter-in-law wanted to be filial to her parents-in-law, but the reality was extremely bad.
She knows that she can resist and ignore the unreasonable demands of her parents-in-law at times. It is rare that her husband, Xu Guomin, can understand her behavior. However, if she instigates her man to go against his parents, she will really become what others call a "troublemaker".
Finally, when Xu Rou was fifteen years old, Xu Guomin and his family of three decided to completely separate from the old Xu family, but at that time they only wanted to simply split up.
The cause of this incident is very simple. The youngest in their family, Xu Guoqing, is now in his twenties and has never been married. He just stays at home and lives off his parents' money.
It's not that the old couple wasn't anxious. They asked a matchmaker to look at several girls, but their spoiled youngest son didn't like any of them. The reason he gave was very direct: the other party was not pretty enough.
Later, I don’t know how, but I fell in love with a girl in the town, and I told my parents about it when I got home.
Knowing that her youngest son's marriage had been arranged, Old Mrs. Xu went out for a few days, looking very happy.
For the first time in that period, no one caused trouble for Xu Guomin's family.
But it was this unusual calmness that made Xu Rou, who had been protected by her parents since childhood, feel a little strange, not to mention Zhao Min, who had been competing with the old couple of the Xu family for more than ten years, and Xu Guomin, who had been raised by them since childhood.
The family soon understood the source of this strange feeling.
It’s not that the old lady didn’t find fault during this period, but she was a little more attentive.
Until one Sunday, Xu Rou took a rest as usual and did not go to school. In the morning, a rare guest came to her house. It was Old Lady Xu. Together with her was the matchmaker Sun, who was known to everyone in the neighborhood, and a pair of strangers who seemed to be mother and son.
You know, after Xu Guomin and Zhao Min got married, the old couple of the Xu family never came to the house they lived in.
After a straightforward and detailed account, of course the person who explained the whole story clearly was the invited matchmaker Sun. Xu Guomin and Zhao Min also learned the purpose of their trip, which was to matchmake for Xu Rou.
The cause was still Xu Guoqing, the incompetent youngest son of the Xu family.
I mentioned earlier that he was dating a girl. Now when it comes to the issue of wedding date and gift, the woman directly asked for three roubles and one ring, plus a betrothal gift of 66 yuan.
Upon hearing this, the old couple of the Xu family immediately refused, saying that the other party was asking for too much.
But the boy was not ambitious enough and was completely controlled by the girl.
I had no choice but to tell the truth.
The woman already has his child. If they cannot get married normally, Xu Guoqing will probably not be able to escape the charge of hooliganism.
The family's financial strength is really unable to meet the requirements mentioned by the woman. Even though there is one person in the family who has a stable job, there are still many people to feed.
After thinking about it, he decided to target Xu Rou.
