Chapter 140: Inquire into the Cause
The performance of the old lady of the Chen family today was really unexpected, and Qiao Lian felt that something must have happened on the other side of the Chen family.
But what happened? Why is the old lady a bit of a big change? To be honest, Qiaolian is not very suitable for the current mother, and she is really not used to it.
"Third sister, how many days can you stay at home when you come back this time? Stay more to accompany our mother, you haven't come back since you went out, our mother must have panicked. ”
Qiao Lian couldn't ask the old lady directly why she had changed, so she sat on the edge of the kang and gossiped with her sister Qiaoyun.
Hearing Qiao Lian ask, Qiao Yun sighed, "I can't stay, I have to go back early tomorrow morning."
There are a lot of things in the family, both daughters go to school, my father-in-law is old, his legs and feet are not good, and he is paralyzed on the kang, and my mother-in-law is not in good health.
Wen Yuan can't take care of coming home at work, so I'm taking advantage of today's Sunday to go home for a day. ”
As soon as she heard this, she knew that the Chang family was also very upset, and Qiao Lian couldn't help but shake her head.
"Alas, it's difficult for every family, and it's not easy for you, it's okay, when my eldest sister and I are free, I'll go to Linjiang to see you.
Now that it's open, it's much more convenient, and if you're free, come back often. ”
If you marry someone and become someone's daughter-in-law, how can you have so much freedom? Especially in the case of the Chang family and Qiaoyun, people must not be able to live in their parents' house for a long time by Qiaoyun.
When Mrs. Chen heard Qiao Yun's words, she became a little embarrassed and coughed twice.
Qiao Juan heard the movement and knew that the old lady was uncomfortable, so she glanced at Qiao Lian, "Second sister, you can help me cook."
Today's holiday, the third sister is rarely back, you cook delicious food, give me a hand, let's ponder, what kind of dishes do you get? ”
Qiaolian, that clever person, still doesn't know that the eldest sister has something to say to her? It was immediately understood.
"Okay, let's go to the garden and see what's there." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out with Qiaojuan.
Qiaojuan's vegetable garden is not small, at this time the garden can eat leeks and lettuce, as well as small radish, cabbage, spinach, chrysanthemum and other leafy vegetables, the Northeast is also these vegetables.
Now it's good, although the vegetables are still a little small, but they can be eaten, and they don't have to eat wild vegetables all day long.
The sisters came to the vegetable garden and squatted down to pull vegetables, Qiao Lian couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what's the matter with our mother?"
Why don't I think something is right? Seems to have changed sex? On the Chen family's side, what's going on? ”
Qiao Juan smiled when she heard this, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, our mother let my brother and sister-in-law hurt me."
Don't you know, our second brother wants to go to work in Da'an Coal Mine, and wants to find someone to ask for favors, but don't you have to spend money to trust people? The second brother went to our mother to ask for it, but our mother didn't give it, and the two quarreled. ”
"If that's the case, forget it, our second sister-in-law is even better, obviously if she can't come out with the money, she secretly instructed Wan Qi to steal the key to our mother's box and want to steal the money.
As a result, our mother caught it, and naturally it was a scolding, but our second brother and sister-in-law were not happy, and they were clamoring to split up. ”
"The second brother made such a fuss, and the eldest brother and the third brother also shouted to split up, each fighting for their own benefits, and none of them looked at our mother.
Our mother let her three sons get hurt, and she ran to live with me angrily, and she has been staying with me for two days. The third sister came back last night and saw that our mother was not at home, so she also came to stay.
Alas, our mother, I have parted my son for a lifetime, how about getting old? Who of the three sons took her love? Don't you want to come to me to hide away? Qiaojuan said, and couldn't help sighing.
Qiao Lian was very surprised when she heard this, "Our mother is so powerful, didn't she suppress her sisters-in-law before, and the three sisters-in-law didn't dare to speak?" Why is this all against the sky? ”
The old lady of the Chen family is not an ordinary person, she is shrewd and capable, and she is very hand-held to deal with her daughter-in-law, and none of the three daughters-in-law dares to scream, what is wrong now?
"No matter how powerful you are, don't you have a time to get old? Our mother is in her fifties, she was weak before, and she threw two children in front of our eldest brother.
Finally, our eldest brother stood up, and gave birth to six of us in succession, but his health was not very good.
When our father didn't have that, our mother was frightened and fell ill, and then her health was not as good as before.
Now I have to get sick two or three times a year, and I have to take medicine for a while to take care of it, and now I can't help the family except for cooking occasionally. Qiaojuan sighed, thinking of what happened to her mother, she was both distressed and helpless.
"In the past, our mother was capable, both inside and outside the house, and she could help watch the children cook.
Now that our mother is old, she can't work to be served, and she still holds the family's financial power in one hand, can the three sisters-in-law be happy?
On weekdays, there are also people who fall and beat to show our mother's face, plus this time there is trouble, our second brother first picks the head to quarrel with our mother, and the sisters-in-law have the ability to see this, but isn't it getting bigger and bigger? ”
After all, it's just a sentence, the sons are all adults, and they have their own opinions, but the old lady still wants to pinch her sons together to live.
In the past, when the old lady was capable, her sons and daughters-in-law were obedient, but now that the old lady is old and can't do anything, her prestige will decline, and it is no wonder that the daughters-in-law dare to rebel.
"Then divide the family, if I want to say that it should have been divided a long time ago, after the separation, everyone is busy with their own work, and no one has any resentment in their hearts.
You look at now, there are only a dozen acres of land at home, and the three brothers are climbing each other, you have more and I have less and refuse to work, what kind of life is this?
Look at the Chen family, there is not even much firewood, not as big as my family's firewood, we are in the mountains, and the firewood is not burned in the nest, I really don't know how they live? ”
In Qiaolian's opinion, when her son gets married, he should be separated and live alone, and he can't still live together and mix up, otherwise everyone has their own careful thoughts, and they all hide their hearts, and their lives will not be good.
Of course, the old lady is used to being in charge of the house, and she can't let go of the power in her hand, which is also human nature.
"Since our mother lives with you, you have to persuade our mother to divide the family, and you are not afraid of the family.
Our mother has a lot of money and things in her hands over the years, as long as the money is still in her hands, are you afraid that her three sons will not support her old age? ”
In Qiaolian's opinion, the old lady just can't think about it, what's the good thing about being in charge? the heart.
It's better to divide the family, hold the money in your own hands, and the three sons live in the family in turn, as far as the three brothers of the Chen family are concerned, for the money in the hands of the old lady, no one dares to treat the old lady badly.
Hearing Qiao Lian's words, Qiao Juan snorted and laughed, "I'll just say that you have a lot of ghost eyes, it's true."
Well, I'll tell my mother when I'm free, so that she wants to open a little.
I look at it, our mother also has this meaning, and she regrets it now, crying in front of me that day.
said that he didn't expect his partialistic son to be a lifetime, and in the end, his son could point his nose and quarrel with her, so it was better for his daughter to worry about it. ”
Qiao Lian scoffed at this, "Now that you know that you regret it?" What did you do earlier? ”
