"Mom, I really don't understand. Why are you so unkind to Xiu Xiu? Aren't they all wives, and aren't wives all outsiders? Why do you have to choose a cousin, but you don't want to accept Xiu Xiu?"
Li Wei was stunned when he looked at his mother, who had her hair spread out in front of him but stretched out her arms to block him and refused to let him go out.
He stopped and looked at the mother in front of him with incomprehensible eyes.
From the initial engagement to Xiu Xiu to the marriage, it seemed that the uncle and father were making the decision. My mother never seemed to express any clear objection, but she also did not seem to clearly support it.
When will the mother really accept Xiu Xiu, be willing to let Xiu Xiu in, and will Xiu Xiu be harmonious?
It must have been the time when dad was in prison and the family was at a low point, right?
When Xiuxiu decided to marry her without hesitation, her mother said that this girl was different from the ruthless Lao Yang family in that she had a sincere heart.
Therefore, my mother took the initiative and went to Changping Village to find a job and helped marry Xiuxiu Fengfengguangguang.
When else would my mother want to see Xiuxiu?
Li Wei remembered that when Xiu Xiu first came in, Xiu Xiu was very kind to his mother and his sister Li Qiaoer.
Xiu Xiu works hard and has nothing to eat. Xiu Xiu never protects her children, she always gives priority to her mother and younger sister.
The atmosphere at home was pretty good at that time.
At that time, he remembered that his cousin frequently came to play at home and sometimes pestered him. His mother would take advantage of Xiuxiu to turn her back and hit her cousin with words.
This means that as long as she, the mother-in-law, is around, she will only recognize Xiuxiu as her daughter-in-law, and will not recognize other women as daughter-in-law or let her in.
So at that time, my cousin cried and ran away in anger several times.
"Mom, to be honest, sometimes I can't understand your repeated behavior."
After being tortured for a day and a night, Li Wei's throat became extremely dry and uncomfortable.
"Why do you treat Xiu Xiu well at one moment and hate Xiu Xiu at the next? You persuade me to treat Xiu Xiu well and live a down-to-earth life with her, but why do you insist that I separate from Xiu Xiu and go to Xiu Xiu? Marry another girl?"
"Mom, do you know? Your inconsistent behavior makes it really difficult for me. I feel like I'm going to go crazy because of you!"
Every time I enter the state, I am interrupted, and then I am told to change and start over.
Li Wei felt like an actor who couldn't follow his own playbook. What opera he sang, when he went on stage to sing, and who he sang with all depended on his mother.
Seeing Li Wei looking like he was about to collapse, and hearing Li Wei questioning himself word by word, Li Wei took a deep breath, and tears flowed from his sore and painful eyes.
She told Li Wei with tears in her eyes: "Since you asked today, I will tell you the truth!"
"No matter if it's Xiuxiu or your cousin who is as colorful as a butterfly, I don't like either of them, and I don't like either of them!"
"What?"
Li Wei was struck by lightning. Looking at his own mother, he felt strange for the first time, as if he was looking at a complete stranger, whom he did not recognize at all!
"Why? Mom, why do you not like any of them, yet you encourage me to marry one and hook up with the other?"
"Xiaowei, you are going to marry these two, Xiuxiu. From the very beginning, you were interested in the dowry of the old Yang family and wanted to be the son-in-law of the old Yang family. This has nothing to do with me as a mother. ah!"
Li Weiniang first cleaned herself up.
"The marriage with Lao Yang's family was your father's and uncle's idea from the beginning. I didn't even say a word of approval, right? You should think about it carefully."
Li Wei thought about it in his mind, and sure enough, it was true!
"You and Li Dan'er are the ones you want to hook up with. It's just because I don't like embroidery, so I use Li Dan'er's hand to push it. I don't like either of them from the bottom of my heart!"
Li Wei was on the verge of crying, "Then why don't you like it and still do this and that? I'm almost driven crazy by you!"
Li Weiniang: "Revenge!"
"Revenge? Revenge for what?" Li Wei covered his head with both hands, twisting his neck vigorously in pain and confusion.
Hearing Li Weiniang say that she wanted to take revenge, he was stunned. His eyes looked at his mother in horror through the gaps between her fingers that were opening little by little: "Who is taking revenge on? And for what reason?"
Li Weiniang laughed strangely twice, "The old Yang family doesn't care about family ties and sent your father to prison. Then I will take revenge on Xiu Xiu and make trouble for their old Yang family through revenge on Xiu Xiu."
"Only when Old Yang's family has no peace and cries, I feel comfortable and happy!"
Li Wei stared at the mother in front of him in stunned silence, feeling like he was looking at another person.
Another man who has long since descended into madness.
"Now, my goal has been achieved. I have made the old Yang family a mess, and made Xiuxiu, a good-looking young lady, in bad health. She has troubles on her mind, and she is still wearing the hat of a concubine."
"Haha, it's a woman who has given birth to a child, whether she's divorced or not, and it's hard to say or listen to if she returns it to the old Yang family. Let's see how the old Yang family finds a home for this concubine in the future! "
As long as Xiu Xiu can't find a new wife and can't marry, Lao Yang's family will think of the relationship between her and the Li family when they see Xiu Xiu.
Lao Yang's family would be depressed, blame each other, and quarrel until the dogs and cats were restless.
Li Weiniang likes this. If I don't have a good time, none of you will have a good time!
Li Wei was completely crushed in the end.
It took a long time to figure out that the reason why my mother went against the norm and promoted his marriage was just to take advantage of this incident to take revenge on Xiu Xiu and the old Yang family.
And what about yourself?
Because I coveted the dowry from the old Yang family and because I was lazy, I married Xiuxiu, and I was an accomplice.
The person who was really hurt the most, and also the most innocent, was Xiuxiu.
Embroidery!
Li Wei slumped down on the bed, buried his head deeply, and suddenly found that he no longer knew what to do.
Even if he bravely goes to Lao Yang's house, pleads guilty and begs for forgiveness from the elders of Lao Yang's family, even if he tries his best to impress Xiu Xiu with sweet words again, even if Xiu Xiu really believes in himself again and takes his children back with him. to Lijiacun.
However, mother's situation is already like this. Even if Xiuxiu comes back, she will not be happy and will continue to have no peace.
"I won't pick up Xiuxiu."
Li Wei suddenly said, "Since we have already reconciled, let's not get entangled with each other."
When Li Weiniang heard that Li Wei had given up, the woman also breathed a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, revenge was enough to get to this point.
It will not be good for anyone if the torture continues.
"There's no need to take Xiuxiu, just let her be my concubine." Li Weiniang continued, "You don't have to take care of the baby now. In six months or a year, we will go to Lao Yang's house to take the baby back and raise it!"
"Mom, are you talking nonsense? If the baby doesn't pick up the baby, then just don't pick it up and let him do the embroidery." Li Wei raised his head again and argued with his mother angrily.
"If you plan to pick it up, then you have to pick it up in the next two days. After all, it is my seed and the incense of our Li family!"
It’s a year and a half later to pick him up. What the hell is this? It’s unreasonable!
Li Weiniang gave Li Wei a hard look, "What do you know? Everything I say is done with calculation."
"I'm going to pick him up now. How can we feed the child?"
"Do you have Nosui?"
"We can't make rice soup and noodle soup every day to support him? It's all a lot of effort. It's better to wait for a year and a half, and the child will be pregnant. Then we can go and get it back. If he can eat and eat vegetables by himself, then it will be easy to raise him. too much!"
Li Weiniang's calculation suddenly enlightened Li Weiniang, but he couldn't praise her.
"Mom, that's so unfair to Xiu Xiu..."
"Hmph, she is a woman who has been a daughter-in-law for other people, so she has the obligation to give birth to children for other people. This is an errand arranged by God for women. No matter how many children are born, the children will be born with the help of her belly. Not hers..."
Li Wei was completely confused by Li Weiniang's remarks.
Li Weiniang knew what kind of virtue her son had deep down. Seeing that Li Wei's attitude was no longer as fierce and resistant as before, she also softened her tone, sat down next to Li Wei, and treated him like Li Wei when he was a child. Just like you do when you feel uncomfortable, you gently patted Li Wei's back with your palms.
"You don't have to marry a daughter-in-law, but your son must come back. If the girl you give birth to is a loser, then we don't want it. It doesn't matter if you leave it to Xiu Xiu."
"When you get your child back, mother won't care about you how you want to be with Li Dan'er. Even if she doesn't like Li Dan'er, she can't bear to see you really single. It's cold in winter and there's no warmth in the bed. The quilt is not good either, don’t you think?”
Li Wei raised his head and looked at his mother with mixed emotions.
What my mother said stood up one after another. She was very harsh, but she seemed to be very tolerant.
She seemed to be controlling him, and seemed to be thinking about him, but she couldn't stop him!
"Mom, I've thought about it, I don't want to marry my cousin..." Li Wei said.
This complicated family relationship, this conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who could never be reconciled made him feel like a puppet on strings, and he was very tired.
"You can marry if you want to, but if you don't want to marry, don't. As long as mother avenges the old Yang family, she won't care about you whatever you want to do from now on."
It's better not to marry. If you don't marry, you're prostitution in vain.
Anyway, at first glance, Li Daner is not a man who is going through life. He is lazy and likes to dress up. He is not a good person!
…
The Li family's mother and son were temporarily quiet.
However, on the side of Lao Yang's family, Lao Yang has gathered everyone together and is already ordering troops. He plans to arrange for people and carriages to go to Lijia Village in the next few days to bring back the dowry that Xiu Xiu has made.
"Xiuxiu said she was coming with us, and she wanted to count her dowry in person!" Yang Yongjin said.
Old Yangtou nodded: "You can have this. When the time comes that the things that shouldn't be missing are missing, let Li Wei return them. If he doesn't come back, we will issue an IOU."
