Liu Ruxiang asked me to invite this uncle to the main room to do the work, and then asked me to bring tea and water.
A lot of people came to the house in the past two days. I was basically doing this kind of work, and my movements were very smooth. After a while, I brought a pot of tea and several cups to the big table.
Then I sat next to him, looking at my uncle and his daughter-in-law from time to time.
My uncle's daughter-in-law's surname is Liu, so I have to call her aunt. She is very good-looking. She is wearing a red coat today, and she seems not to be afraid of the cold. She is even wearing thin stockings on her legs.
Aunt Liu has a beauty mark the size of a sesame seed on the corner of her left eye. When she is holding a teacup and drinking water, she slowly blows the water in the teacup, and her eyes tremble slightly from time to time. Looking at her makes people feel like her eyes are full of spring water, charming. Infinite meaning, so beautiful that it’s unbelievable! For example, the female celebrities on TV are among the top beauties in our village.
This is my first time coming back during the New Year’s Eve dinner. I noticed Aunt Liu when we were having New Year’s Eve dinner last night. Many half-grown young men looked at her table with greedy eyes.
Relatively speaking, my uncle's son was so ordinary that I didn't even remember what he looked like. Probably also a popular face.
However, it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, but why can't it be bad for children?
At this time, I remembered a religious ceremony that Liu Ruxiang took me to this summer. At the banquet later, I had a conflict with a woman. Liu Ruxiang finally said that he was just a plowed field. The land was ruined and there was no fertility at all. No matter how hard the old scalper of the wealthy businessman worked, he would not be able to grow. There is a hint of gain.
I stared at Sister-in-law Liu quietly with my eyes wide open. Such a beautiful woman is indeed very popular with men, and maybe it is also possible that the good land is sown to ruin. But if that were the case, wouldn't it be hard to say to Liu Ruxiang? After all, he was a relative of this family. It is said that there is a high probability that it will be dismantled directly.
But if you don't say anything, let this brother be kept in the dark? It doesn’t seem right either.
I held my breath, my little head filled with great curiosity. Looking towards Liu Ruxiang, he listened to their chatter.
"I'm telling you, Xiaoxiang, come and look at it for me. My son got married last year. There has been no movement for a whole year, and the child has not been born. What is going on?" The uncle frowned. , kept patting his thigh.
Marriage happens early in rural areas. If you don't go to school, a lot of people get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. For example, my uncle is now in his forties. His son is already older than Liu Ruxiang, and he has already reached the age of marriage.
The uncle began to complain about how difficult it was to get married.
First, there was the betrothal gift, which cost tens of thousands of dollars, which directly emptied the entire family. When it came time to get married, they also needed hardware, change fees, and filial piety. The uncle and his family were deeply in debt, so they reluctantly got married.
Hearing what her father-in-law said, Sister Liu started to speak and looked at her husband with disgust: "What do you mean? My married daughter threw water. When I get to your old Liu's house, I will be your old Liu from now on." How can you say that to me? As for the bride price, my mother has raised me so big, shouldn’t she give me some money? I will have to serve the Liu family in the future, so shouldn’t all that money be given to me? Yes, as well as the money for my brother’s confession, wasn’t it also provided by your resources?”
My uncle is now furious: "Then when your father was ill, you continued to ask me and my wife for money. Why didn't you tell me that your married daughter was throwing water? Your parents raised you It’s hard work. I am raising my son alone. Is it easy? There is also a change fee. When we were picking up the bride, didn’t your brother block the way and not let us in? He forced us to borrow 10,000 yuan temporarily from here and there? "
Sister-in-law Liu was not a good quarrel either. She followed her husband and yelled back and forth for several rounds. Finally, she sneered and said, "That's not your son's choice. Your son wants to marry me, and I didn't force him with a knife." He, this is not what you want, so why are you blaming me now? If you think my wife is annoying, then we will get divorced."
My uncle stared: "Okay, refund the money!"
Sister-in-law Liu turned her head and said, "No way."
Liu Ruxiang saw the two of them arguing like this, with almost no one gaining the upper hand, and she felt a little dizzy for a moment.
"Okay, you two, stop yelling and explain your specific purpose. It's you, a woman, who can't conceive a child, right?"
The uncle nodded: "That's it. There has been no response for more than a year. Xiaoxiang, please check her."
Sister-in-law Liu sneered and glanced at her husband: "I don't know whose problem it is, but I went to the hospital for a checkup. It's none of my business. If you, Old Liu, are not good at it, how can you blame me?"
The uncle's face turned red with anger, he clenched his fists and resisted the urge to hit.
"Nonsense, my son is tall and strong, what's the problem?"
Liu Ruxiang squinted her eyes and smiled slightly.
I was listening to the two people's speech, and I suddenly understood a lot.
My uncle's son is also at home, why doesn't he come? Must be afraid of being ugly.
Sister-in-law Liu went to the hospital for a checkup, and it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her. Then her uncle brought her to Liu Ruxiang, so she must still suspect that something was wrong with Sister-in-law Liu. But why didn't that brother come? I'm afraid there might be something wrong with him, and he was afraid of being called a "bad man".
I actually didn’t understand these things before, and no one talked about this topic in elementary school.
But there was an extra biology class in junior high school, and the teacher talked about some people’s mysteries. In addition, many male students told dirty jokes they heard from nowhere, and there were also some banned books on the street. During this period of time, I More or less vague cognition.
At this moment, the daughter-in-law and father-in-law started arguing again.
Liu Ruxiang acted as a mediator and said, let's check on Sister-in-law Liu first. It won't be too late to check her later when my brother comes.
How to check?
Liu Ruxiang asked Sister-in-law Liu to go to her room and take off her clothes to check her body.
I can't see the next scene.
Liu Ruxiang took Sister Liu to her bedroom and pointed to a chair.
"Sit there and take off your clothes."
Sister-in-law Liu did as she was told, and then Liu Ruxiang pinched Sister-in-law Liu's belly and lower abdomen, then took her hand and felt her pulse.
Not long after, Liu Ruxiang lowered her voice and asked, "How many times do you and your wife usually have sex?"
Sister-in-law Liu thought for a while and replied, "It depends on my mood, it's hard to say."
"He wants it but you don't give it; or you want it but he doesn't give it; or maybe neither of you wants it. Which one is it?"
Sister-in-law Liu gave another ambiguous answer: "Both, hard to say."
Liu Ruxiang sneered: "Do you really like him? Do you know his bank card password?"
Sister-in-law Liu looked stunned: "Why do you ask this?"
"Just watch it if you want, and don't throw dirty water on me. There's nothing wrong with my health." After saying that, Sister-in-law Liu took out the checklist she had prepared in advance from her pocket.
"I don't believe it. The hospital said there is nothing wrong with me. How can you be more accurate than the hospital?" Sister-in-law Liu then asked.
Liu Ruxiang smiled slightly: "Why do you keep talking about checking your body? I know there is nothing wrong with your body."
Sister-in-law Liu took a breath: "Since you said so, it's over. There's no need to waste time."
She lowered her head and tied the belt of her woolen coat, then flipped her hair, slowly opened the door and walked out.
She pointed at Liu Ruxiang behind her and said: "Listen to what your village master said just now, there is nothing wrong with my health. Now don't say it's my problem, it's your son's problem."
Sister-in-law Liu smiled sarcastically.
The uncle's face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid, as if someone had punched him hard in the chest. He was speechless, and asked with some stuttering: "Xiaoxiang, is this, is this, like this?"
If there is nothing wrong with Sister-in-law Liu's health and she has been unable to conceive for so long, then it may only be my brother's problem.
This is a man's face. If there is any problem in any aspect, it will definitely be a stain on a man's life. He will inevitably have to point fingers and it will be difficult to get married again in the rest of his life.
Liu Ruxiang hesitated to speak, and finally nodded slowly and solemnly.
When my uncle saw Liu Ruxiang's statement, he leaned back on his chair in despair, like a zombie.
The concept of inheriting the family line is particularly serious in rural areas. The couple spent their entire life savings and racked up huge debts just to have a grandson.
There are reasons for this situation in areas with backward productivity. Male labor force is synonymous with violence and productivity in rural areas. Fighting, grabbing water, competing for land, without men you can't compete with others. In a rural society where resources are tight, it will not take long for them to be eliminated.
My uncle felt like the world was shattering, as if he had no thoughts for the rest of his life, and he looked at the floor with a pale face.
"Now you understand, I do want a child, but your son doesn't have that ability, no matter what. You can't blame me, can you?" Sister-in-law Liu gained the upper hand at this time, and her mouth was like a machine gun to attack her husband.
"Haha, I do want a child. Let's do this. When you finish this year, we can get divorced. If your son is not good at that, it will delay my having a child. If you still think it is my problem, then let your son Try marrying another one."
The uncle gritted his teeth and grabbed Sister Liu's sleeve in a panic.
"No, you can't do this. Our family has contributed so much money. If you want to leave, you can just pay back all the money."
Sister-in-law Liu shook her head: "Don't have such wishful thinking. If I follow your son for a year, the money will be regarded as the compensation for the loss of my youth. If I don't let your family pay any more for the loss of mental health, I will be worthy of your son."
"Furthermore," Sister-in-law Liu changed the subject, a sneer appeared on her face, "If you don't agree, I happen to be still in your house, and I will immediately spread the news about your son's incompetence to all the towns and villages."
