Aunt Su was vomiting the fragrance when she saw the pale eldest daughter walking out. Her forehead was wrapped in white cloth, and red bloodshot eyes were faintly visible.
Because it was after get off work time, a large number of people gathered at the door and blocked the corridor, all sticking their heads out to watch the excitement.
The twins Li Zhenzhen and Li Qizheng, who are over two years old, have big heads and small bodies, with yellow hair and dirty clothes. They pulled Li Fendou's trouser legs tightly with tears on their faces. They shrank when they saw Su Jin coming out.
When Li Fendou saw his wife getting up, his eyes lit up. When he saw his mother-in-law, who rushed to his wife's side to inquire after her, his eyes dimmed again.
"Ah, my poor daughter, you finally woke up. Look, the head that was beaten is covered with cloth. You all have to make the decision for us..." Aunt Su held Su Jin's hand tightly. After some chanting and chanting, a chubby aunt squeezed out from the crowd.
It's Lin Mingxiu, the women's director of the subdistrict office here.
"Yes, this is a new society. We don't want to beat our wives. Girl, if you have any grievances, just tell us and our Women's Federation will make the decision for you." Lin Mingxiu patted her chest and gave Li Fendou a look of hatred. Why do you still hit a woman when you look so upright?
"Mom, did you misunderstand something?" Su Jin looked confused.
"What's the misunderstanding? Wasn't the injury on your head caused by Li Fendou?" Aunt Su glared at Su Jin, feeling that this girl was really stupid.
At this time, everything should be placed on Li Fendou, making him feel guilty and letting everyone condemn him.
In this way, Li Fendou can safely become the blood bag of the Su family.
In the past, my daughter-in-law and son-in-law were so filial. They would receive a monthly salary as a subsidy. But after they had children, the subsidy became less.
Especially when her children are getting older, she still wants to save money to send her two children to school. This is not possible. What will her grandchildren do if all the money is given to her two children?
If it weren't for Da Ya, her body wouldn't be so weak, Jin Bao wouldn't be born prematurely, and her family wouldn't be so difficult.
She also sent Da Ya to a normal university. Da Ya owed so much to her family, and now she was just paying off the debt. She would withhold money until the debt was repaid. It must have been Li Fendou's instigation.
Aunt Su decided to take advantage of today's good opportunity to pinch the big-hearted Li Fendou hard and give them a tight skin.
"Ah, Mom, Aunt Lin, you really misunderstood. My little brother pushed me on the head. When Fengfeng asked him why he kicked Qi Zheng, he got angry, and then he pushed me and hit his forehead on the table."
Aunt Su was still imagining that her daughter and son-in-law would give them nine yuan if they had ten yuan in hand like before. When she heard her daughter's words, the expression on her face suddenly froze, looking very strange.
"What?" Aunt Su didn't believe this was what her daughter said.
Su Jin looked guilty, "It's all my fault. If I could stand firm, my little brother wouldn't be frightened and sick. It's a pity that after I paid you 400 yuan for living expenses with my hard work and salary, I didn't have any money to buy nutrition for my brother." Taste it.”
"Four hundred yuan for living expenses..." Someone in the crowd took a breath.
"I don't even have four hundred yuan for two months' salary..."
"And Mom, it's not that I didn't want you to come in to see me. It's just that I just came back from the hospital and I was very tired. The doctor also told me to rest more because he was afraid of disturbing me." Su Jin explained sincerely.
Then he shouted towards the door, "Everyone, please leave. It's all a misunderstanding. My mother is just too worried about me."
"Aunt Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you today. You Fengfeng didn't hit me, but I was pushed by my brother and couldn't stand still." After saying that, Su Jin saw Lin Mingxiu staring at her hands, and then said in hindsight: " My hand wasn’t hit, it was accidentally stepped on by my brother. He was weak since he was little, so he walked carelessly.”
"Oh." Lin Mingxiu nodded blankly.
"Mom, don't worry. I don't blame my brother. It's because I'm a sister who is incompetent and can't buy a color TV for my brothers and sisters. That's why my brother got angry and pushed me." Su Jin pulled Su Jin with a look of self-blame. The aunt’s hands were filled with tears in her eyes.
"Huh..." There were exclamations one after another outside the door. Apparently, everyone didn't intend to leave just to watch the fun.
Lin Mingxiu was also surprised. She was the women's director of the sub-district office in this area, so she had an impression of Su Jin and Li Fendou, even if she didn't know them well. She remembered that Li Fendou and his wife were very good, but they were a bit stingy. Yes, it is stingy.
Li Fendou is a first-class electrician at the Electric Power Bureau, and Su Jin is a Chinese teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. According to her understanding, their salary plus subsidies is 500 to 600 yuan.
A salary of seven to eight hundred a month is enough for a family of four to have plenty of food and drink, but look at these two young people, one is as skinny as a stick, the other is sallow, and the two children also look malnourished. The family of four looked like they had fled.
At first, everyone in the building thought that Li Fendou had sent his salary back to the countryside, or that the couple was stingy and liked to save money. Unexpectedly, they gave the salary to the mother-in-law, but with the couple's salary, they gave 400 yuan. There should still be a balance of the RMB salary, but why are you living like this?
Thinking of this, Lin Mingxiu glanced at the rosy-faced and energetic Aunt Su with strange eyes. What kind of mother is this? Not only does her married daughter have to pay four hundred yuan a month for living expenses, but she also wants her to give to her sister-in-law. When buying a bicycle, Zhou Papi shouldn’t be so exploitative.
Facing everyone's strange looks, Aunt Su's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to say something, she saw her always honest daughter sincerely holding her hand and saying with a firm face: "Brothers and sisters should be proud of their color TVs and be sisters. How can you not satisfy her?"
Li Fendou's eyelids twitched and he was about to refuse when he heard his wife continue: "Mom, buy it for her. Anyway, all my salary since I started working is with you."
Aunt Su felt that her daughter had changed, and when she took a closer look, she still looked as sincere and honest as ever.
"Ah, Su Jin, why don't we do this first? Look at how your children have grown up. You even bought a big color TV for your younger siblings. With the money, why don't you buy some meat for your children?" Someone came out of the door. said the voice.
"Yes, Aunt Su, isn't your wife a chef in a big hotel? Why do you still need so much subsidies from your married daughter?"
"Yeah, it's four hundred yuan a month."
…
"You don't understand. My mother helps me take care of the children. She is not in good health. As a daughter, I will definitely have to subsidize her."
Before Aunt Su had time to explain, she heard her daughter say with a righteous face.
"How do you take care of them like this?" Li Mingxiu exclaimed as he looked at the two children who looked like little beggars.
"No, it's not..." Aunt Su wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Su Jin, "My mother said that this is how children must be raised to be healthy. My brother is raised too carefully, so he is weak and sick."
