Chapter 285: Unwilling to accept
"Although I don't know what Xingxing said to Tangtang. However, according to my understanding of Xingxing, she should have advised Tangtang on how to get along well with you. Of course, every family has its own living habits, and it may be twice as effective with half the effort."
Lin Wanxia didn't want to chat with Tan Qiuyun, and spoke quickly, wanting to end this conversation as soon as possible.
"If this marriage makes you so miserable, why don't you end it?"
Tan Qiuyun burst into tears, "I'm not willing to accept it! I was so attentive, why is this happening! I have known him since childhood, and we know each other well. Obviously, we could be very happy..."
But before, it was still arranged by parents and matchmakers.
He eventually married someone else.
Tan Qiuyun burst into tears: "I... I waited for him for several years, and I became an old maid with no one to marry. I didn't expect that he would lose his husband... I thought my chance had come..."
Tan Qiuyun's speech was a little confused, and she sobbed.
Lin Wanxia listened quietly, without any sympathy on her face.
She also heard Jiang Sinian mention that Tan Qiuyun was not really waiting for Instructor Liu.
It was true that the two of them were childhood sweethearts. It was
also true that the parents of both sides looked down on each other's families.
Later, it was Tan Qiuyun who said she wanted to get married first.
She wrote in a letter.
Instructor Liu, who was thousands of miles away, was very sad. He, who never smoked, smoked a whole pack of cigarettes on the day he received the letter.
He was sobbing and tears were streaming.
Lin Wanxia also asked, did Tan Qiuyun say that in anger?!
Jiang Sinian shook his head, indicating that he was not sure.
Anyway, Instructor Liu called his hometown a few days ago.
After that, he did not mention Tan Qiuyun.
He went home the next year and met another girl and got married.
I heard from Instructor Liu’s fellow villagers that Tan Qiuyun really wanted to marry someone else, but when it came to the engagement, she regretted it for some reason.
Later, she was also picky, but could not find a satisfactory one, so she became an old maid.
Of course, people outside said that it was because Tan Qiuyun could not let go of Instructor Liu.
If the above "heard" and "said" are true, then Lin Wanxia feels that Tan Qiuyun may not love Instructor Liu, but may be more unwilling to accept it.
She was unwilling to accept that she had lost her good man, unwilling to accept that Instructor Liu did not wait for her but got married and started a family, and unwilling to accept that she had not met a better man than Instructor Liu. She was unwilling to
accept that after she reunited with Instructor Liu halfway, he had already been married and had a child.
This child also brought her a lot of trouble. She
was even more unwilling to accept that Instructor Liu
"When I first became a stepmother, I also wanted to be an ordinary mother and daughter with Tangtang." Tan Qiuyun said, "But no matter what I did, it was wrong. If I did well, everyone would say I was pretending. If I did not take good care of Tangtang, such as if she accidentally bumped into something, or caught a cold or fever. A lot of people stood up to question me."
"They said I abused the child. They said a stepmother is a stepmother, how can she not be as attentive as a biological mother."
Lin Wanxia took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Tan Qiuyun.
Putting aside other things, she could still empathize with what Tan Qiuyun said.
Stepmother is a word that easily causes criticism.
Lin Wanxia has certainly experienced what Tan Qiuyun has experienced.
Some people are unhappy with themselves, so they like to find a sense of existence in others.
Maybe when a couple fights, they will curse each other: "I'm not good! I'm not good, so you find a stepmother for your child! See if she will abuse your son like Lin Wanxia/Tan Qiuyun did!"
Tan Qiuyun took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes randomly, "My family doesn't understand me, and the neighbors are waiting to see me laugh every day. What's even worse is Da Liu and Tangtang."
Tan Qiuyun's tears flowed again before she could wipe them dry.
Especially when talking about this father and son, tears flowed like the Yellow River, and the calm tone became excited again.
"Do you know? Once Tangtang almost burned herself while playing with fire, so I hit her twice, and she jumped up and pushed me, saying that I was not her mother, that the stepmother was a bad person, and that she didn't want to live with me!"
Lin Wanxia thought about it, and Xingxing seemed to have a similar experience?
It was just that Lin Wanxia's relationship with Jiang Sinian was not good at that time, and her feelings for Xingxing were not deep, so she didn't take it to heart. Even
if she didn't take it to heart, she would not be happy at that time.
It can be imagined that Tan Qiuyun was really heartbroken at that time.
"What's even worse is Da Liu. After he received Tangtang's call, he called me to scold me! It was a warning." Tan Qiuyun's eyes turned angry and she gritted her teeth.
It was obvious that she hated Tangtang to the extreme.
"Since they all think that I should be a stepmother, why shouldn't I do as they wish?" Tears were still streaming down Tan Qiuyun's face, but a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. Her
whole face looked a little weird, a little pitiful, and a little vicious.
Lin Wanxia sighed.
It's not difficult to guess that Tan Qiuyun has turned evil since then. Anyway,
no matter what she does, there is always the reason that she is a stepmother, so she just abuses Tangtang openly.
She beats Tangtang when she is unhappy, and she also beats her when she is happy.
Tangtang will be beaten if she makes a mistake, and she will be beaten if she doesn't make a mistake.
At first, she would feel guilty and distressed when she was beaten.
Gradually, she became numb to Da Liu's scolding.
The more she was beaten, the more accustomed she became. Now beating Tangtang is a common thing for Tan Qiuyun.
"You just asked me why I didn't divorce?" Tan Qiuyun sniffed, "I have paid so much for him, how can I be willing to do that?"
"If we are not willing, it will only make both of us more miserable." Lin Wanxia said objectively: "When I was on the island last year, you were clamoring for a child. I heard that you got what you wanted, so why are you even more unhappy now?"
Jiang Sinian said that Tan Qiuyun gave birth to a son, who is three days older than Yueyue.
"I don't know either!" Tan Qiuyun looked confused and said, "I gave birth to a son. In our rural area, everyone prefers sons. But why does Da Liu prefer Tangtang? He hardly hugs our son."
Lin Wanxia really didn't understand how there could be such a deep misunderstanding between Tan Qiuyun and Instructor Liu.
"So, why did you come to me? Just to ask me to take care of Xingxing and not go to Tangtang?"
Tan Qiuyun sobbed twice, "I..."
She wanted to fight with Lin Wanxia.
She was unhappy so she came to Lin Wanxia to make herself unhappy.
"How can you get along so well with Xingxing? No one says your stepmother is bad?"
"Yes!" Lin Wanxia nodded, "So what? My life is mine. You said Tangtang pushed you, but Xingxing also pushed me! He is a child, of course he is wrong, but what is more important is to see how adults guide him.
Children are like a blank piece of paper, whatever color you paint on it is what color it is.
Beat the naughty ones, and treat them well.
I can't comment on whether they are right or not, but I know you must be wrong!"
"Me?" Tan Qiuyun frowned and wanted to explode.
"Yes! Because you keep saying that the stepmother is innocent, but you still put yourself in the position of the stepmother."
"What do you mean?"
