Chapter 128 Us or you?
Jiang's mother's first reaction was to get angry: "Jiang Sinian, what do you mean? Are you talking to that little devil? Ouch!"
She slapped her thighs with both hands, "I'm dying! My dear mother! What have I done to raise such an unfilial son. Now he doesn't care about my life or death for a woman."
Jiang Sinian: "..."
Pinching her brows, she felt powerless.
Jiang's mother cried for a few sentences but Jiang Sinian didn't come to comfort her, so she became even angrier.
But the tricks that she used in the village didn't work here. She rolled her eyes and began to untie her belt.
A grown-up son avoids his mother.
Jiang Sinian immediately turned his back.
In the countryside, ordinary people are reluctant to buy belts, and they tie their waists with cloth strips or straw ropes.
Jiang's mother had just attended a funeral a few days ago, and she used a strip of white cotton cloth that she had hung behind her head while crying as a belt.
She pulled the cotton cloth strip off her pants, looked up, and was stunned.
When she was at home, she would hang herself on the beams with a hemp rope, but this was a high-rise building, and the roof was flat, so there was no place to hang.
"I'm not going to live anymore!" Jiang's mother howled while looking around, but couldn't find a place to hang herself.
Jiang Sinian waited for a while, and when he didn't hear any other movement, he turned back tentatively.
When Jiang's mother saw Jiang Sinian looking at her, she took the belt of her pants and tightened it around her neck with both hands.
Jiang Sinian: "..."
He was a little bit amused.
It was the first time he saw someone hang himself with his hands.
"Mom, it's no use making trouble. I'm really married now, and Lin Wanxia is not my sister-in-law who can be manipulated by you. You should go to bed early. I will buy a ticket to take you home tomorrow." Jiang Sinian said and turned around.
Seeing Jiang Sinian about to open the door, Jiang's mother got anxious, "Jiang Sinian, you ungrateful bastard! If you don't divorce Lin Wanxia, I... I will go to your leader's office to make trouble tomorrow."
Jiang Sinian sighed without turning his head, "Go ahead! Our leader won't let me get a divorce. But if you make a fuss, he might fire me. Then I won't get a penny of retirement pay, and the punishment will be transferred back home with the file. Then I won't even be able to find a job at home. I don't have any land, so you will have to support me then."
Jiang's mother was so nervous that she said, "Don't scare me! Why would they fire you for just getting a divorce?"
"You don't recognize the marriage certificate, but the country and the army do. You don't recognize the wife I married and forced me to divorce, but in our unit, divorce means starting a mess and giving up, which is a bad character. A few days ago, a squad leader in our compound was expelled and sent back to his hometown because his wife went to the leader's place to make trouble. If you don't believe it, go and make trouble tomorrow and try it."
Jiang Sinian threatened half-truthfully.
The punishment was fake. It was Wang Cuiping and squad leader Zhang who went back to their hometown. The expulsion was also fake.
Before leaving, Jiang Sinian added, "By the way, the punishment will not only be recorded in the file, but also deduct half a year's allowance. Mother, you should have brought money with you when you go out, right? Leave some for me."
Jiang's mother subconsciously covered the lower waist of her pants.
Her money was sewn into her underwear.
***
When Jiang Sinian returned to the family compound, Lin Wanxia and Xingxing were carrying a quilt outside to dry it.
After not coming back for a long time, the quilt became damp again.
Seeing Jiang Sinian coming back, Lin Wanxia stuffed the quilt into his arms, "You go dry the quilt, I'll clean the house."
Jiang Sinian looked down at Lin Wanxia and asked tentatively, "Are you not angry with me?"
Lin Wanxia said strangely, "You didn't do anything wrong, why should I be angry with you?"
"But my mother..."
A son should not blame his mother, so Jiang Sinian shut up again.
Lin Wanxia scolded, "Didn't I tell you? I'm marrying you, not your mother. My principle is to treat her the way she treats me.
If she loves me as her daughter, I will definitely treat her as my mother.
If she treats me as her daughter-in-law, I will treat her as my mother-in-law.
If she wants to treat me as a servant, I won't get used to her.
As for you, it's the same.
If you have a high enough emotional intelligence and can mediate our relationship, then we are a family.
If you can only endure the stalemate, then we are us and you are you.
If you try to shift your debt to your parents onto me and want me to swallow your anger..."
Lin Wanxia smiled, her eyes and tone were equally firm, "I'm sorry, I am me and you are you."
Jiang Sinian listened carefully and remembered it silently in his heart.
He always knew that Jiang Sinian was different from other girls he knew.
Other girls say they want to be independent, but most of them dream of marrying a good man.
After getting married, they take taking care of their husbands and children as their careers, and silently follow
the principle of "marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog". When they are wronged in their husband's family and go home to cry, they often only have one sentence: "Whose family doesn't live like this? Just get used to it."
They are used to enduring, and then they torture their own daughters-in-law after they become mothers-in-law.
But Lin Wanxia has never been such a girl.
She has always been very clear about what she wants.
Just like when she competed with Lin Yaoyao for Chen Bin to resist the injustice of the Lin family to her.
Like she can be rude to Song Chunxia, and can fight back against Wang Cuiping.
Like she can grit her teeth to fight the enemy who occupied the island.
As she said, she stood still, and everyone's attitude towards her would mean her attitude in return to others.
Jiang Sinian smiled slowly, "Lin Wanxia, you are so nice!"
"Huh?" Lin Wanxia looked puzzled, "I am nice?"
She believed that her words were correct, but she also knew how much her views differed from the current popular views on marriage.
In this era, many couples don't even have a marriage certificate, and they can live their whole lives even if there is chaos at home.
Divorce is a word that people generally cannot accept. It is a derogatory word and a word that makes people feel ashamed.
But Lin Wanxia would not. Before she crossed into the book, she believed in selfishness.
Now, Jiang Sinian, who was born in the 1960s, praises her? !
Jiang Sinian did not explain, but said seriously: "I will definitely try to be better to you. I will also try to be a good son and a husband so that you and my mother can become a family."
However, the facts once again prove what ideals are full of hope and reality is very skinny.
The next day, Jiang's mother did not go to Jiang Sinian's leader to make trouble.
Because she was sick.
It sounded very serious.
She had a headache, chest tightness, and felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't even get out of bed.
Jiang Sinian found a military doctor in the team to come to Jiang's mother's house to see her.
In front of Jiang's mother, the military doctor said that she was depressed and had a strong liver fire.
After leaving the house, she said to Jiang Sinian: "Auntie is actually pretending to be sick."
Jiang Sinian sighed helplessly.
No wonder I always saw my eldest brother hiding outside the yard to smoke.
It is indeed difficult to be caught between the two most important women.
How can one show the high emotional intelligence that Lin Wanxia mentioned, and satisfy both women?
Lin Wanxia's attitude is very clear, she is a mirror.
Her attitude depends on her mother's attitude.
The problem is, how can he satisfy his mother without divorcing Lin Wanxia?
Jiang Sinian pinched his brows, feeling that it was more difficult than attacking a city.
