Chapter 3: A Pair of Children
Seeing Jiang Dequan running away, the neighbors couldn't hold back their laughter.
Sister-in-law Hu and Sister-in-law Li all came to Chen Qiaolian's side, "Jiakang Niang, do a good job, it should be like this."
If you had this kind of heart, how could you let your mother-in-law have been grinding for all these years? ”
"Alas, you are also miserable, you have no father at a young age, your mother and brother are housekeepers, who cares about your life and death?" Sister-in-law Li has a good relationship with Qiaolian, and knowing Qiaolian's life experience, she can't help but sigh with emotion.
Qiaolian's life was not good, and when she was eleven years old, her father was gone, leaving a large family.
's mother is a patriarchal woman with little ability, and the three elder brothers are naturally in charge of the family.
None of the three elder brothers are good, they are all the same as the god of thunder, they have a gloomy face and no smile all day long, and they know that scolding the three younger sisters is a loss of money and a white-eyed wolf.
At the dinner table, the Qiaolian sisters dared to take more bites, and the brothers directly took chopsticks and smoked them.
Growing up in such a family, Qiaolian is naturally a weak character, where does she dare to resist?
The mother and the three elder brothers don't think about anything else all day long, they just think about how to sell the three daughters for some money to marry a daughter-in-law to live.
When Qiaolian was fifteen, the matchmaker gave the old Qu family in Shijiagou, and the Chen family asked for a lot of dowry gifts, but they didn't give anything to accompany them, so Chen Qiaolian took a burden and entered the door of the Qu family.
Unexpectedly, less than five days after getting married, Qiaolian's husband disappeared.
The old couple of the Qu family inquired about their son's whereabouts while scolding the new daughter-in-law.
said that the daughter-in-law was a mourning star, and she killed her husband just a few days after entering the door, and she either beat or scolded Qiaolian.
Fortunately, Qiaolian was pregnant with a child, and after the old couple of the Qu family learned that they had a son, they finally treated their daughter-in-law better.
When Qiaolian gave birth to a pair of twins, the old couple of the Qu family were worried that Qiaolian would leave the child and run away with others.
Although he didn't fight this time, he scolded Huai all day long, and all the work at home was thrown to Qiaolian alone, and Qiaolian was called as a mule and horse.
Before she got married, her mother and brother were in charge, and when she got married, her in-laws were even more ruthless, Qiaolian was originally a submissive and weak character, where do you know how to resist?
just gritted his teeth and survived, until the old couple of the Qu family died of illness, and they were relieved.
"Brother and sister, listen to your sister-in-law's advice, don't wait. It's been four or five years, and if your man is still alive, can he not come back?
We all know that you are thinking about him and want to wait for him, but you don't want to think about it, how can you live as a woman with two children?
What can we have in Shijiagou? Except for stones and stones, you can hear this mountain shoveling and that mountain, and the stones of the hoe hitting the stone clanging, can the little crops in the ground feed the people? ”
"We have a male laborer in our family and live like this, you say that you are a woman, you don't have much effort to farm, what are you trying to feed the two children?
If you want your sister-in-law to say, it's better to leave the house as soon as possible and find someone who lives a solid life. ”
It can be seen that this sister-in-law Li is really good to Qiaolian, so she took the opportunity to persuade Qiaolian to find another man to live.
"You are good-looking, virtuous and capable, it is not difficult to find someone.
I don't know how many men in our village are watching it, choose a good one to marry, as long as he can be good to Jiakang Jiayuan.
Without a man to rely on, this day is really impossible, today you sent Jiang Dequan, tomorrow I don't know who will come out.
The last time you fell to the ground and your head was bleeding and you almost died, do you want to have another time? ”
"Now that it's a new society, isn't it all advocating women's emancipation? and widowhood is no more.
Brother Weiyang has been gone for four or five years, and seeing that your in-laws have been dead for more than half a year, you have been guarding this family, and you are worthy of their old Qu family, you should think about yourself. Sister-in-law Li persuaded earnestly.
"Yes, what Sister-in-law Li said is reasonable, now those old examples are not revived, and women can turn over and be the masters can also hold up half the sky.
No one will laugh at you even if you take another step, you are only twenty, why are you so bitter about yourself?
Those old men are all in a hurry, when they see you like this, isn't it like an old cat seeing a fish, can you not be greedy?
No matter how capable you are, you can't stand them and have to pounce on them like flies, and your reputation will have to be ruined sooner or later? ”
"We in our neighborhood naturally know your character, but what about others? What do outsiders know? What do people say about you if they can't keep it?
You, you really have to think about it, a woman must have a backer to get by. Over there, Sister-in-law Hu also followed a burst of persuasion.
After coming here for more than half a month, Qiao Lian has heard such words several times, and it is really a black line to listen to at this time.
Why do women have to find a man to rely on? She's a woman, but what's wrong with a woman? Can't a woman support herself?
But it's not easy to say this directly, after all, everyone has good intentions, and the neighbors in the neighborhood have helped her a lot in recent years, where can she say anything else?
Qiao Lian opened her mouth, and just wanted to say a few words, but she heard a crisp, tender and crying children's voice behind her, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
While speaking, the two little beans ran towards Qiaolian with tears on their faces, hugged Qiaolian's legs tightly when they came to them, and cried loudly.
"Mother, don't go, don't leave us." They were frightened by Qiaolian's last injury.
When Qiao Lian saw this, she hurriedly squatted down and hugged the two children in her arms.
"Jiakang Jiayuan is good, my mother is fine, my mother has nothing to do, my mother just beat away a bad guy. Don't worry, my mother will definitely not leave you and leave, don't worry. ”
Looking at the two babies crying in her arms, Qiaolian's heart also rose, and she was busy hugging the children, gently patting the children's backs, and softly comforting.
After a while, the two children finally stopped crying, and then they raised their heads and looked at Qiaolian, "Mother, are you really okay?" ”
His son Jiakang looked Qiaolian up and down, but he didn't see Qiaolian injured, so he was relieved.
"It's okay, my mother is really fine." Looking at the nervous appearance of her son and daughter, Qiao Lian was moved.
Busy kissing his son and daughter's face, "Come, Jiakang Jiayuan, quickly say hello to a few uncles and aunts." ”
Seeing that their mothers really didn't have anything, the two children were finally relieved, and then they looked up at the few people in front of them.
"Uncle Hu is good, Uncle Li is good, Uncle Li is good."
The little man raised his smiling face, his big eyes were watery, and there were tears on his long eyelashes, and this well-behaved and cute little appearance suddenly sprouted everyone's hearts.
"Good, good, Jiakang Jiayuan is good. Good boys, brothers and sisters are blessed, giving birth to two such well-behaved and lovely babies, just wait to enjoy the blessings in the future. ”
The appearance of the two children is more than Qiaolian, and they are very white and handsome.
In addition, Qiaolian loves to clean up for the children, although she is wearing torn clothes, she looks so rare.
Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Hu are not young anymore, and when they like children, they simply pick up the child and kiss it.
