During the dinner, Zhao Meilan kept picking up food for Su Mingzhe, her eyes narrowed when she smiled. Her eldest son got a new job and his salary more than doubled than before. The neighbors were extremely envious. Su’s mother played cards every time. At that time, there was only one eldest son who would not give a thumbs up and praise him for his good parenting.
"Mingzhe, it's rare for you to come back. Eat more. You won't be able to eat when you go back."
The food in Su Mingzhe's bowl had already piled up into a mountain. Seeing Su's mother still putting food in it, he quickly said: "Hey, hey, Mom, that's enough, that's enough."
After taking a few mouthfuls of rice, Su Mingzhe continued: "Mom, I can't eat anything when I go back. As long as you come with me, it will be fine. I have got my green card now, and I can apply for visas for you and dad very quickly. Fei Fei is about to give birth, don't you want to go there? I will just come back this time to pick you up with dad."
"ah?"
Zhao Meilan was shocked when she heard this. This was not in line with her original plan. She originally wanted to wait until the child was born, but she didn't expect that her eldest son, who had always been obedient, actually made a move. During his hesitation, he happened to hear that his second son Su Mingcheng Applause.
"Okay, okay! Mom and Dad haven't traveled for so many years because of this family. It's time to enjoy happiness when we get old. Brother, I bought your tickets to return to the United States this time!"
Zhu Li put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands and echoed: "It's clear that parents should go out for more walks."
Su Daqiang looked submissive and glanced at the silent Zhao Meilan without trace. In his heart, he actually wanted to go to the United States. After he came back, his old colleagues would be envious of him. Moreover, Su Mingyu was also in the United States. He didn't know that her boyfriend Although he didn't want to know whether his friend was good to her or not, he would never dare to express his opinion without Zhao Meilan speaking.
Zhao Meilan pondered for a moment, then came back to her senses and looked around, only to see four pairs of eyes looking at her eagerly.
'Mingzhe is trying to force the palace! '
The smile on Zhao Meilan's face suddenly disappeared. In her mind, it was no longer a question of whether to go or not. Su Mingzhe's doing this was tantamount to forcing her to make a choice. She knew her son better than her mother. How could she not know what Su Mingzhe's temper was? This matter was definitely not his idea, and he didn't know who was behind it.
Su Mingzhe saw that Mother Su's face looked a little strange, and he didn't know where he had offended her, so he asked cautiously: "Mom?"
"Well, didn't you come back because you missed us? Also, why didn't you do this when you got home before?"
Su Mingzhe said hesitantly: "Mom, I think it would be better to wait until everyone is here so that we can go one by one."
"kindness."
Zhao Meilan hummed lightly casually. Su Mingzhe's words were obviously not sincere, but thinking about why his son came back all the way, why was it not to pick her up, the anger in her heart suddenly dropped a lot, so she simply I won’t care anymore.
"Eat first, then finish eating."
Zhao Meilan had to think again before resorting to the dragging technique.
'If my daughter-in-law gives birth to a girl, will I be at a loss? '
'Well, when I get there, I'm not familiar with the place, and I heard that no one from foreigners plays mahjong. Isn't it true that I have no cards to play when I go there? '
'But it's not without its benefits. I have worked so hard to raise these two brothers, provided for the eldest son to study, and provided for the second son to get married. It's right to enjoy the blessings in the past. '
Zhao Meilan glanced at Su Daqiang who was eating with his head down while thinking, and the anger that had been suppressed suddenly surged up again.
'Why did you find such a person in the first place? He's such a loser. He doesn't care about anything at home. It's all my fault. '
'Well, what's the use of thinking so much now, I'm already old, what else can I do, that's all I will be like in this life. '
Thinking of this, Zhao Meilan couldn't help but think of Su Mingyu. If she hadn't been pregnant with Mingyu, her life would be completely different now. After so many years, the appearance of that man was already a little blurry in her memory. I almost forgot my name.
Zhao Meilan was born in a rural area. Her parents had a daughter and a son. She is the eldest sister and has a younger brother. The older generation in rural areas are much more patriarchal than those in the city. The conditions at home are not very good. What’s wrong? When it comes to eating or drinking, she has to stay close to her younger brother first. The elders have always instilled in her the idea that elder sisters are like mothers.
"You are the elder sister, you should give way to your younger brother."
"You are a girl. It is useless to read so many books. No matter how well you study, it is not as good as marrying well."
"Water thrown away by a married daughter."
"The male leads the outside, the female leads the inside."
"Your brother is the only one in our old Zhao family, and we will have to rely on him to continue the family lineage in the future. If you are able, you should help him more in the future. After all, you are the elder sister."
…………
Zhao Meilan, who grew up in this environment, naturally inherited the idea of valuing boys over girls. Her parents did not want the only child in the Zhao family to be a farmer like them all her life. But is it so easy to obtain urban household registration?
A peasant family really doesn't have the access or capital in this area. The only thing that the old Zhao family can offer is Zhao Meilan's beauty.
Zhao Meilan has been a beauty since she was born, and she became a famous beauty from all over the country when she grew up. It was not easy to find a city girl who was willing to help Zhao Meilan's younger brother. Zhao Meilan's parents took a long time to choose Su Daqiang.
Being a city dweller means that with a city registered permanent residence, the idiot in his family can also become a city dweller in the future; as an only child, the family relationship is simple. When Su Daqiang's parents wait a hundred years, the bungalow upstairs and downstairs will definitely fall into the hands of the couple. Other competitors: weak-tempered, honest and obedient. When the daughter is married, she can be the master of the family, control the family's finances, and help her silly son from time to time; her job is an iron rice bowl, and her income is stable, so she doesn't have to worry about her daughter suffering hardships.
So, Zhao Meilan married Su Daqiang under the arrangement of her parents. Her parents never asked her about her wishes or whether she liked each other, but she did not resist, because everyone was like this from her upbringing. He just entered the Su family's door in a daze.
It wasn't until many years later that she met a man. At that time, her younger brother had obtained the urban household registration as he wished, and she had given birth to two boys for the Su family. The task of carrying on the family line had been completed. She felt that she had not failed the Su family. Maybe she could try to pursue her. Looking back at her own life, this was also her first fight against fate.
The man was affectionate and the concubine was interested, and their relationship quickly heated up. Zhao Meilan was also preparing to elope with that man, but she never expected that she was pregnant, and had been for several months.
Fate seemed to have played a joke on her. The fire that had finally been ignited in her heart was extinguished by a simple basin of cold water. From then on, she accepted her fate. This was the first time she fought against her misfortune. It also became her last fight.
