Xiang's father thinks that he has not fallen into the situation of relying on his son to come to his wife's parents' house to make a living!
This conversation between the two elders was equivalent to breaking up on bad terms.
Before leaving, Yang Huazhong and Sun asked the Xiang family to take the gifts away, but the Xiang family insisted not to take them with them. As a result, Yang Huazhong chased them two miles away and stuffed the gifts back.
They were so angry that on the way home, one of Xiang's parents blew his beard and stared, and the other had chest pain.
"Didn't your eldest brother say that Yang Laosan was an honest person who was easy to talk to when he was leading the way for Shengnan and Xiaoduo? Why is it so hard to say this now?" Xiang's mother and Xiang's father complained.
Father Xiang was also full of complaints and said angrily: "How did I know? In the past, our good family often had to deal with their children's marriages. At that time, Yang Laosan and Sun were really in trouble. It's easy to discuss. Now, I'm afraid that Cui'er's matter has completely offended them. This honest person doesn't fall out easily, but if he really does, he probably won't be able to bring back eight cows. Hey, we are guilty of our own sins, so we can blame who?"
…
Father Xiang left in depression, while Yang Huazhong returned home briskly.
In the main room, Mrs. Sun, Yang Ruoqing, Xiaoduo and the others were all there, and the three of them were talking about what had just happened.
Seeing Yang Huazhong come back with empty hands, Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
"The means of taking people and the short-sightedness of eating people, just send him away!" Sun said.
Yang Huazhong nodded, came to the table and sat down, and raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead.
Xiaoduo quickly poured a bowl of warm tea for him and said with a smile: "Dad, how many miles did you travel to deliver it?"
Yang Huazhong took a sip of tea and grinned: "Nearly two miles."
Xiaoduo stuck out her tongue: "We are almost arriving at Xiangjiazhuang!"
Yang Huazhong said: "There are some things that we should accept, and we will accept them. There are some things that we cannot have. Even if they are sent to the end of the world, I have to send them back!"
Xiaoduo nodded.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Just like the beef jerky sent by the cattle dealer uncle last time, we accepted it all. Now the gift sent by Shengnan's parents, whether we accept it or not, does not depend on the gift, but on our family's attitude."
Yang Huazhong said: "Our family's attitude is very clear. We cannot accept in-laws like them. We have made it clear to them several times a long time ago that we cannot accept women like Cui'er as relatives. Cui'er has scheming intentions. But they didn’t accept our opinions at all.”
"Okay, for the grandson, they want to have grandsons, and we can understand that."
"If you want to marry Cui'er, just go ahead and marry her. We won't stop you, but you have to come over and talk to us about this matter seriously, right?"
"The couple are hiding at home and don't dare to say anything. They entrust the cattle dealer's brother to pass on everything. They dare to do it but don't take it seriously. In this case, then we will do it without stopping and don't deal with it. Let's be sure here. My in-laws are the Xiang family’s main house!”
The more Yang Huazhong talked, the more annoyed he became. In his life, he looked down upon the kind of people who dared to do things but did not take responsibility. They did things in a dishonorable and disrespectful way!
"Dad, drink some tea to calm down your anger." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
Yang Huazhong took a big sip of tea and said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you. I have been holding this matter in my chest for a while, and I always feel that I am angry."
"Now that all the anger has gone away, everyone feels much more comfortable. Now, it's time for the Xiang family to reflect on it!"
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips and smiled without saying a word.
The chance of self-reflection is very small. If something similar happens next time, the Xiang family's parents will still decisively choose their grandson over their daughter-in-law.
This is human nature, and there is nothing to criticize. A grandson is the continuation of the bloodline, and a daughter-in-law has a different surname.
You can change your wife, and you can still have grandchildren if you change your wife.
And if you have a grandson, you have it and cannot be replaced, so the grandson is more important than the daughter-in-law.
The parents of the Xiang family have the right to choose and give up, so naturally, as the daughter-in-law, she also has the right to accept or reject.
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but said: "Our family is very happy today and we have evened the situation, but I'm worried that after Duo'er gets married, she will have to deal with Shengnan's parents. After all, he is Shengnan's father. Mom, for the Xiang family, when the first and second bedrooms are separated, they are also their relatives, just like me and the fourth and fifth sons. Our family can hide away, but Duo'er can't hide..."
Xiaoduo couldn't help but interrupt Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, don't worry. Since I dare to marry Sheng Nan, I will never hide from his parents."
"Then how do you plan to get along with them?" Sun asked again.
Xiao Duo raised the corners of her lips: "When it's time to be polite, I'll be polite, and when it's time to keep a distance, I'll keep a distance, just like my elder sister-in-law Liao Meiying, third sister-in-law Zhao Liu'er and the others get along with the uncles and aunts in these rooms. , don’t let others and Shengnan find fault with me.”
Sun smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are right."
Yang Huazhong also nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and reminded: "Duo'er, I suggest you follow the example of your third sister-in-law Zhao Liu'er. As for your elder sister-in-law Liao Meiying, forget it."
Liao Meiying's low self-esteem and respectful attitude at her husband's house was not good.
In comparison, Zhao Liu'er is much cuter. She even has the confidence to argue with Tan. She can go back to her parents' home with her children. She even kidnapped her third cousin to Zhao's house and didn't come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"At first, my grandma scolded my third sister-in-law when she talked about her, and she still yelled at my third brother to divorce my third sister-in-law. But my third brother and my third sister-in-law took the children to live with my parents' house and refused to come back." Yang Ruoqing continued.
"Nowadays, our grandma doesn't even mention the divorce of third brother's wife. The two times she wanted to scold third sister-in-law and the others for not coming back, she was scolded by my father."
"My grandpa told me to stop talking. The big house was torn apart mostly because of my grandma. In the past two days, my grandma didn't mention them anymore. On the contrary, my grandpa sometimes said he missed Hong'er. Let's take a look. …”
Speaking of this, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh twice.
The old man only wanted to see Hong'er, the son of the third brother, but not Niuniu, the daughter of the third brother. This shows how patriarchal this old man is!
It is simply hopeless!
…
On a calm morning in September, Luo Baobao helped Wang Cuilian to feed soft rice grains to the little swallows in the backyard. The three little swallows had moved away from the chicken nest and lived back in their own blood bird's nest.
The three little fluffy heads were pressed together, and the three beaks were opened wide, vying to catch the rice grains held on the heads of the chopsticks.
This look of crying for food reminds Luo Baobao of herself as a baby. While patiently feeding the little swallow, the little girl sighed in her heart about the greatness of maternal love in this world. While giving life to the child, she also had to raise it with difficulty.
No wonder there is a common saying in books and articles on parenting: The crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to breastfeed.
This is true for birds and animals, but people who are the spirits of all things must respect their parents even more.
Luo Baobao decided that this afternoon he would learn to cook a dish from his grandma to repay his mother!
