The Fu family's grandfather and grandson were talking about themselves in the room.
When Jin Mei returned home, she saw a bunch of things placed on the Kang table in the main room. Without thinking, she turned over them and muttered in a low voice: "Fu Chengxu, this little kid, is really capable. He always brings a bunch of good things when he goes home."
When she was young, she was arrogant, so she naturally had no good feelings toward the young Fu Chengxu, and would often beat and scold him; but after so many years, she also thought about it. After all, Fu Hua was his father, and she was also his stepmother, so she should treat him well. At a disadvantage, a few good things slipped through the fingers of the old lady, which is enough for them to show off.
However, she was naturally unwilling to give in. While coveting Fu Chengxu's money, she cursed why she didn't strangle him to death when he was a child.
As a result, she still has to look at his face to live her life.
But Jin Mei then thought about it, as long as the old lady was still in this house, Fu Chengxu would always respect her, and they could also benefit from it.
As soon as Fu Chengxu came out of Grandma Fu's room after talking, he saw the gifts he gave Yun Ling spread out messily on the kang. He suddenly became angry and yelled: "What are you doing!"
The sound made Jin Mei shiver, and the white scarf in her hand fell to the ground next to the kang hole. Fu Chengxu quickly picked it up and found that it was covered with a large amount of soot.
He clenched his fists, glanced at Jinmei fiercely, then quickly scooped out a few ladles of water from the water tank, used soap to clean it carefully bit by bit, and after he carefully hung up the scarf to dry, he took out everything one by one. Lock it in the cupboard in your room.
Jin Mei saw that every good thing was taken away, not even the last fried walnuts were left, and she became anxious: "Chengxu, what are you doing? You have taken away all the things. When the time comes, I will How can I give it to your grandma?"
Fu Chengxu just didn't care about how she used Grandma Fu to fish for the raft every time. After all, one or two worthless gadgets or food could send this annoying woman away, and he felt it was worth it.
But this time it was his reverse scale.
"If you don't ask, you will steal. Don't you understand this?"
Jin Mei murmured in a low voice: "We are all from the same family. Saying this is a big deal..."
Although she complained, she still didn't dare to confront others directly.
Fu Chengxu stared at her coldly, "Every time these things I gave you came into grandma's hands, weren't they always given to that trash?"
Jin Mei regarded her son Fu Chengqi as an eyeball, how could she hear the contempt in his tone.
So he laid out the stepmother's profile and lectured: "Chengqi is your brother, how can you, an elder brother, say that to him? Your grandma feels sorry for him, and it's not a loss to give him things. They are all brothers, why should we divide them?" So clear?"
She started to drift off as she spoke, and educated him earnestly: "Although you are capable now, your father and I are still your parents..."
After Fu Chengxu heard the word "parents", he raised his eyes coldly and looked at Jinmei. The cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to turn her into a sieve, and said lightly: "It seems that you haven't learned enough lessons before."
Jin Mei also blamed herself for violating Fu Chengxu's taboo with her bald mouth. She didn't dare to think about it.
A few years after she entered the family, Fu Chengxu had been raised by the old lady. No matter how she tried to please her, this child was always lukewarm towards her, unable to get close to her, and even disobeyed her wishes many times.
So Jin Mei got angry and scolded him in every possible way, like a stepmother, and even scolded him unscrupulously, "You are a little beast who has a mother but not a mother."
At that time, she felt relieved after scolding her, and Fu Chengxu didn't react at all. The vanity in her heart for bullying Kong Wei's son was satisfied. I wish I could go to Kong Wei underground in the middle of the night and say: Your son is living like this under my hands, what can you do? You two should be stepped on by me!
But when she got up that night, she inexplicably tripped on the rope and fell headfirst into the manure pit, almost drowning.
Her feeling was not wrong, it was just a slender rope that tripped her, but the rope didn't appear out of thin air, and there was no evidence to complain to Fu Hua, so she could only suffer this hidden loss.
At that time, she did not dare to go out for several days. She even felt a pervasive smell of feces in her nose. She did not eat several meals in a row and was so hungry that her chest pressed against her back. It happened that she was still pregnant at that time, and Yue Qian didn't notice it. Although she went to the hospital for a checkup later, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong, she still gave birth prematurely.
The midwife said she suffered from excessive nutrition during pregnancy, which caused the baby to be too large and premature.
But there was a big famine at that time. Even though no one died of starvation here, every household had neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm. Even if she had been deducting Fu Chengxu's rations to subsidize herself, how could she be over-nourished?
She couldn't wear this hat, otherwise she would be drowned in the saliva of the villagers.
She always felt that it was Fu Chengqi's fall during pregnancy that led to Fu Chengqi's rape. Sooner or later, she would have to bear this debt to Fu Chengxu.
In fact, not only this time, every time Jin Mei scolded and scolded Fu Chengxu, he would receive some kind of "retribution", either being tripped or being hit with a stone.
Now he seemed to admit it, which ignited Jin Mei's anger. She raised her finger and pointed at him and asked: "I knew it was you, a little bitch, who harmed me and Chengqi! Why are you so cruel? My heart, he is your biological brother!"
Fu Chengxu didn't seem to listen to her dirty words. He even felt that saying another word to such a person would dirty his ears, so he closed the door and went back to the house.
"I don't hit women, but I have many ways to solve problems without using violence. If you are still buzzing like a fly and annoying people, don't blame me for being rude."
The clean and harsh words really shocked Jin Mei. She withdrew her finger and stood there trembling with resentment, staring at Fu Chengxu's closed door. After a while, she turned to look at Grandma Fu's house, eyes Malice suddenly appears.
After Fu Hua came back from work, he saw Jin Mei lying on the bed and crying uncontrollably. He paused and asked, "What's going on?"
When Jin Mei saw him coming back, she suddenly cried loudly, her voice was delicate and artificial. Although it had elements of acting, it sounded particularly distressing to Fu Hua.
"What else can I do? Everyone says that my stepmother is in trouble. I admit that I do prefer Chengqi, but I haven't treated Chengxu's child badly at all! People in the village say that he was treated harshly by me, but you know Yes, it’s not that I don’t give him food, it’s that he doesn’t eat what I give him! Tell me, can you blame me?”
Fu Hua had witnessed with his own eyes Fu Chengxu throwing the white-flour steamed bun Jin Mei handed him into the dirt and stepping on it several times. At that time, because of wasting food, he even hit Fu Chengxu several times with the iron pliers used to pick out coal.
But he still doesn't know that the steamed buns were mixed with finely divided Guanyin soil. That year, there was not enough food to eat, and everyone else was making pure grain steamed buns, but Fu Chengxu's was mixed with sand.
Maybe he didn't know, maybe he knew and pretended he didn't see it. After all, Fu Hua only cares about his family and everything. It's just a trivial matter. Why is he complaining about this child being so ignorant?
Jin Mei continued to cry: "I know he is capable now. He always brings things home. Although he never mentioned being filial to us, he is also filial to our mother."
"When I saw the things on the kang today, I thought they were for his grandma. I just wanted to put them away and slowly use them for home use. It was my fault for not telling him in advance, but this is a family, and it can't be left here. Is it useful? After all these years, that kid Chengxu still treats me like an outsider..."
Her acting skills are superb, otherwise she would not have been able to coax Fu Hua around for so many years.
As expected, Fu Hua naturally thought that Fu Chengxu disrespected his stepmother and did not care about his family. He even thought that he would not be kind to his biological father when he came back this time.
I even thought about it several times, why is it that Kong Wei has such a gentle temperament, but the son he gave birth to is like a demon king? Could it be that this child's fate was too tough and killed Kong Wei? ?
He had this thought not once or twice, but every time he mentioned it, it was like adding another piece of evidence to Fu Chengxu's rebelliousness.
However, in an instant, he suddenly flashed back to what Grandma Fu said to him that day. He felt as if he was exhausted, decadent and powerless, and sighed: "Forget it, he is old. Sooner or later, we will get married as a man. Don't worry about it... You are not related to him by blood, so you don't have to worry so much about him, just take care of our inheritance."
"???"
Jin Mei turned around and her eyes widened suddenly. Why was the result different from the previous results?
If she had complained like this before, Fu Hua would have run up to Fu Chengxu and scolded him. Although Fu Chengxu didn't listen at all, he still made her angry.
Why is it so peaceful this time?
Seeing Fu Hua's bitter look, she had no choice but to wipe away the few tears and try to comfort her: "You're right. It's true that my eyesight is short-sighted. I shouldn't be hurt by those little things." As for the affection, Chengxu can take it back if he takes it back. I was wrong this time, and I will apologize to him later!"
While Jin Mei calmly applied Fu Chengxu's eye drops, she secretly looked at Fu Hua's expression, only to find that he seemed to be immersed in his own world and didn't listen to what she was saying at all.
"what are you thinking?"
Fu Hua came to his senses in a daze and said quickly: "It's nothing. There's no need to apologize. You are his mother, how can a mother bow to her child? Let this matter go as it is, and you will stop hanging around in front of him in the future."
"..."
Jin Mei felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly. Was it her fault? She shouldn't have gotten in front of Fu Chengxu, so she should have suffered a loss?
She rolled her eyes secretly, with a smile on her face: "I understand."
He opened his eyelids and looked at Fu Hua, feeling disdainful. This man was also a coward. His wife was bullied and she didn't dare to say anything to her son. That is to say, he is easy to manipulate, otherwise I would have stopped dating him long ago.
The woman was scheming to cause some trouble for that little brat, or else her anger would be in vain?
