"Oh, Juyun, if you ask me, you can just go along with their divorce. Look at the way you are now, it's embarrassing for you to stay in this house, isn't it? Why hang on for dear life?"
"No, I have nothing to be embarrassed about! If I don't leave, I won't leave. I just want to hang them up. It's their old Xiangjia who's sorry for me, not me who's sorry for their old Xiangjia!
Xiang Tao brought the woman and the child back, and felt embarrassed. Xiang Hai had a wild child with that wild woman outside, and now that man has entered the situation, he wants me to make room for her. Isn't that nice?
What? Why? Then who am I? Who do I give birth to?”
Xiang Jin, carrying a basket of pigweed on his back, had just walked to the edge of the courtyard dam when he heard the voices of a woman and her mother in this life, Yang Juyun, coming from the house.
She frowned suddenly, and at the same time she felt horrified in her heart? Her cheap father, whom she only knew by name but never met in person, had a child with another woman outside and is now divorcing her mother?
And who is this Xiang Tao? Why is it that his mother is embarrassed in this house when he brings the woman and child back?
Unfortunately, she had only just woken up two days ago, and before she had time to find out much, she was dragged away by several peers in their yard to hunt pigweed.
But this time she came back, she heard such exciting news.
Xiang Jin thoughtfully carried the pigweed to the kitchen aside to put it away. As soon as she came out, she heard her cheap grandmother Mrs. Zhang yelling at her mother, "Why? Just because she works for us."
We gave birth to a grandson and raised the child by myself for more than ten years, and now we are pregnant with our child Xiang Hai."
"What? She's pregnant again?" After hearing this, Xiang Jin's mother was deeply hit again. She rushed out of the back room with a shaky look, and her eyes were filled with tears.
The hands were also squeezed tightly.
Mrs. Zhang raised her head and said with a provocative expression, "That's right, I'm pregnant again. It's been more than five months. I heard that the ultrasound revealed another boy."
At this point, she looked at Xiang Jin's mother from top to bottom with a look of disgust on her face, "It's not like you. Not only are you ugly, but you also have a belly that's not up to par. You two are just like a girl."
You lose money! Are you trying to kill our queen?"
"You...you?" Xiang Jin's mother suddenly became furious, her eyes were red and her teeth were clenching.
Xiang Jin also frowned deeply. She knew before that her grandparents favored boys over girls, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"What, am I still wrong? When the girl grows up, she will be from other people's families. The water thrown out by the married daughter will be the same as honoring other people's parents.
My son worked so hard to raise them, but when he grows old, he doesn’t even have anyone around him to take care of them until the end of his life, and you still say you’re not trying to get rid of his mistress?”
"You...you are simply bullying me! Isn't the daughter I gave birth to the daughter of your old Xiang family? Mom, you also gave birth to a daughter, and you also have two daughters!"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes sharpened, and she immediately raised her voice, "What's wrong with me giving birth to two daughters? I also gave birth to a son! My daughter also gave birth to a son, and my second daughter has good academic performance and will pass the exam soon.
Specialized.
Look at what kind of losers you have given birth to. One has a bad academic record and gets 40 or 50 points in every exam. Another one eats delicious food every day and goes around looking for food every day.
.”
The old woman's voice was so loud that it immediately attracted everyone in the yard.
Then everyone gathered around the courtyard of Xiang Jin's house to watch the excitement.
Then Xiang Jin heard someone saying, "This Xiang Kui family is really not a thing. The boss, Xiang Tao, died working outside not even two months after they got married to Yang Juyun. Then Xiang Kui and Yang Juyun died."
Because Mrs. Zhang and her husband were reluctant to part with her generous dowry and took it back, they made her and Xiang Hai drunk and locked them in a room for two or three days before they were released after they achieved good things. Now they despise her parents.
She’s not good-looking, she’s giving birth to a daughter.”
"It's not that. The birth of a son or daughter is all based on luck. How can you blame someone else's daughter-in-law? Let me tell you, they have serious feudal ideas at work. You said they are not the only ones giving birth to daughters now.
, there are so many of them, how can they be so serious about patriarchal thoughts?" Someone then joined in.
Then someone else said, "Isn't that right? They were all pretty good. When they saw that the eldest son was born a girl, they quickly told the public that the eldest son was the posthumous son of his ex-husband Xiang Tao, who was born in front of Xiang Tao, and then returned the favor to Xiang Hai.
They didn't have any children, so they gave birth to a second child. They avoided family planning. It was like picking up a child to raise.
You said that this person died outside just two months after getting married. Yang Juyun only conceived the child half a year later, so how could it be Xiang Tao's?
That's because people here are kind-hearted and didn't tell anyone about it. The brigade cadres also turned a blind eye and didn't care about them, and just let them get away with it.
You see, in that era, no family was fined for having two or three children. This family was the only one who didn't pay a penny, and now they still despise the fact that the baby is not a boy, but a girl.
What happened to this girl? Like those only-child families, where there is only one girl? Then they won’t care about her, so they can just throw her away!
After all, they still have two daughters in their family. One daughter will get married in the future, and the other daughter will stay at the front of the house. In the future, a family with more sons will pick up a son and marry her, and the child will be born.
You still have the same surname as their Xiang family, and you still support this family. How can you say it is so serious that you will destroy their family?"
"Oh, yes, yes, among us in the countryside, among those who have no sons, which family doesn't continue the family tradition like this?"
Some people crossed their arms and frowned, shaking their heads and saying, "Oh, this is not the reason. The main reason is still what Mrs. Zhang yelled just now."
Someone asked what the words were.
The man continued, "Xiang Hai dislikes that Yang Juyun is not good-looking. You know that Sun Shuiyun is not as good-looking. Sun Shuiyun is tall, slim, and fair-skinned. Xiang Hai
Before marrying Yang Juyun, the two of them had always been interested in each other, and they had not broken up for so many years. They had always been hooking up and entangled with each other outside. This has been spread all over the country.
It is said that Sun Shuiyun's man committed something serious. Last year, he was sentenced to more than thirty years in prison. Then Sun Shuiyun directly filed for divorce with him, and then the man agreed. Not only did the two of them
Are we not together legitimately?"
"Oh, so that's it?" Someone exhaled.
"Isn't that just like this? A few people in our bay have seen that the two of them went out to the same place in Shanghai and lived a happy life, which is so comfortable," someone said again, telling what he knew.
Some people sighed, "It's a pity that Yang Juyun is a woman, she is worthless!"
"It's not like that, someone who carves out the heart and liver. He does all the work in this family and suffers all kinds of hardships. He wakes up early and is greedy at night. He is diligent and cares about the family. He is also kind to people and things, but he ended up like this."
When Xiang Jin heard this, she finally understood everything. It turned out that Xiang Tao was the one her mother married first, and she died because Xiang Tao went out to work. Then her grandparents forced her mother to do so because they were greedy for her mother's little dowry.
He remarried his brother-in-law Xiang Hai.
Therefore, her mother married both of their brothers one after another, and now the eldest brother Xiang Tao is still alive and has returned, so her mother is embarrassed in this family.
And she was also embarrassed. She was originally Xiang Hai's child, but she was said to be Xiang Tao's child. Her original biological father became her "second uncle", and her eldest uncle became her "father".
Just thinking about it made her feel sick and sick. She deserved it!
