As soon as the person left, Chen Jinhua sat down on the stool, whimpered and cried, wanting to scold Zhang Erbo, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to scold. Chen Jinhua herself knew that she was unreasonable. Tears, and a little scared, afraid that the sons were really persuaded by their second uncle.

Chen Jinhua secretly looked at her three sons while crying.

Zhang Sitian, who was huddled in the corner, threw herself into Chen Jinhua's arms and burst into tears, "Mom, don't cry, don't cry."

Chen Jinhua hugged her daughter and cried, and habitually started crying to her husband: "Old man, why did you leave so early, leaving us mother and daughter to be bullied..."

In the past, when she cried like this, the Zhang brothers would feel sorry for the old lady and sister, and then obey. But after Zhang Erbo's remarks, his mood changed, and he couldn't help but think, what would happen if their father was still there?

If Dad was still there, he would definitely not let Mom's favoritism and leave all the good things to himself and his little sister, and the others could only watch. Dad won't leave Zhang Wuyang with most of his salary. Dad won't let his son do housework while earning work points, and he won't watch them be ridiculed and indifferent...Some things don't want to be okay, and they feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

In Chen Jinhua's cry, the three brothers of the Zhang family were silent, waiting for the comfort of their sons for a long time, Chen Jinhua's heart was relieved, did they really listen to Zhang Lao Er's nonsense and were not ready to listen After her words, did she want to live like the old ladies in the village, Chen Jinhua shuddered.

"Mom." Zhang Wuyang opened his mouth.

Chen Jinhua stopped crying, raised her head and looked at Zhang Wuyang nervously and uneasy.

"My second uncle's words are serious, don't take it to heart." Zhang Wuyang changed his words, "but some words also make sense. My brother and the others are not good at doing laundry and cooking. There are too many people gossiping, and it's hard for my brother to go out."

Chen Jinhua was embarrassed, her eyes flickering and she didn't dare to look directly at Zhang Wuyang, nor did she dare to look into the eyes of the other two sons.

"On the other hand, the delay in earning work points means that I will have less money to send home in the future. My brother and the others will earn more, and the family will live a little better." Zhang Wuyang said solemnly, "Tiantian is so sensible, Mom. It's still possible to cook a meal and wash clothes while taking her with you."

Speaking of which, Chen Jinhua couldn't say a bad thing. She was afraid of the cold, so she secretly scolded Zhang Erbo, who was nosy.

Chen Jinhua nodded in embarrassment and added: "Before, it was my mother who wanted to go wrong, and the working mother at home will do it in the future." As for how long it will take, only God knows.

Zhang Erhe and Zhang Sihai finally lived through the embarrassment of not having to work halfway through their work and went back to cook in front of everyone's eyes, so they could work with peace of mind.

And Chen Jinhua took over the housework resignedly, fortunately, Zhang Wuyang would not watch, but would help with the work. Although he was unfamiliar, he looked a bit like, and it was all forced by Du Aihua. Zhang Wuyang, who was doing housework, thought of Du Aihua, his tongue felt bitter, and the bitterness spread to his heart.

He suffers, and Chen Jinhua suffers too. After gritting her teeth and working hard for a few days, Chen Jinhua felt a sore back and back, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere, especially when she was carrying a basin of clothes to wash, and when she met people by the river, they greeted each and everyone yin and yang strangely. :

"Hey, you'll do the laundry by yourself, what about your Erhe and Sihai?"

"Aunt Jinhua, I haven't seen you here for a long time."

"Hey, why are you here?"

Chen Jinhua was so angry that she wanted to hammer these eight women to death.

After a few days, Chen Jinhua's patience reached the limit, and she said that she wanted to tell Zhang Erhe a daughter-in-law to come back. It would be better for her daughter-in-law to do the housework than for her son to do the housework. Anyway, she refused to do it, absolutely not!

Zhang Wuyang's voice was dull, there was only one sentence, I have no money.

Chen Jinhua said that Chen Jiaqiao's betrothal gift was too high, and it was cheaper to exchange a betrothal gift. Now Chen Jinhua doesn't want to marry someone better than Jiang Hui and Xue Fangcao, she just wants to find a woman who can work.

Zhang Wuyang frowned: "It's only been so long since the second brother got divorced, so there's no need to rush to remarry, it doesn't sound good. Besides, the second brother and the second sister-in-law have three children, and they have been in a relationship for nearly ten years. I think there is still room for recovery. When the second brother remarries, there will be no room at all. Second brother, what do you think?"

"Do you think it's still possible?" Zhang Erhe was obviously excited. If he could, of course he hoped to reunite, and he had three children. To be more realistic, now Jiang Hui has a job and has become more beautiful, even the unmarried young man will be moved.

Chen Jinhua was angry, her voice was sharp: "What are you thinking! How could Jiang Hui come back, even if she wants to come back, I don't agree, it's all her, if she didn't make a bad start, what would happen to our family It will become like this, it's all the mess she made!"

Zhang Erhe couldn't help but defend: "Mom, how can you blame Ahui."

Chen Jinhua stared at Zhang Erhe in disbelief, with a trace of panic in addition to shock and anger, a kind of panic that this son was out of control, "Don't blame her, can it be that you blame me, do you blame me? I think I hurt you. Wife, child, second child, you forgot how Jiang Hui beat you. You have forgotten the shame that you, a big man, was beaten by her. You still want her back, she is back, where is your face? ."

Zhang Erhe blushed and murmured, "I don't want to marry, whether Jiang Hui comes back or not, I have no intention of marrying again now."

"If you don't marry, don't marry, you'll be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Chen Jinhua said viciously, turning to stare at Zhang Sihai, "What about you, do you want to wait for Xue Fangcao to come back?"

Looking at such a fierce Chen Jinhua, Zhang Wuyang suddenly felt strange. He didn't want to let the two brothers marry again immediately. Of course, there was a reason for not wanting to give a betrothal gift, but more importantly, he still wanted to reunite. He thinks this is better for the two brothers, but his mother doesn't think so. His mother is very determined to marry again, is it for the good of his brother or for his own good? The second uncle's angry words kept echoing in his ears, and Zhang Wuyang's face gradually turned pale.

In a trance, I heard Zhang Sihai say angrily, "I'll listen to you."

Zhang Wuyang returned to his senses and looked at Zhang Sihai, but Zhang Sihai avoided his sight.

Chen Jinhua grabbed Zhang Sihai's hand with a moving face, "Fourth, you are the most filial, don't worry, Mom won't hurt you, Mom is all for your own good, this man, you still have to have a cold beside you. A woman who knows the heat is good, and you will find out later."

While speaking, Zhang Erhe sternly gouged out a few eyes, Zhang Erhe lowered his head, as if he was ashamed.

Zhang Wuyang suddenly felt extremely absurd.

"Fourth brother, you really want to marry again, fourth sister-in-law, you give up." Zhang Wuyang went to Zhang Sihai privately.

Zhang Sihai split the firewood with an axe: "I went to find Fangcao." Either because of the unforgettable old love or because he wanted to find a woman to do housework, Zhang Sihai quietly went to Xue Fangcao to get back together.

"She scolded me and said that all men in the world are dead and will not come back."

For a while, Zhang Wuyang remembered the encounter with Jiang Hui, and the other party also firmly stated that he would never return to Zhang's house, but Zhang Wuyang always felt that nothing was absolute, as long as his mother was not overly partial, as long as their brothers No longer follow his mother in everything, he feels that there is still room for recovery, after all, there are children.

"How can it be true if you are angry."

Zhang Sihai's voice was dull: "If you just talk about it, I see Zhu Mancang helping Fangcao."

Zhang Wuyang was at a loss, Zhu Mancang?

"Zhu Mancang's family is poor and has never married a wife."

Zhang Wuyang was stunned, and said, "That's not necessarily. It's only been so long, and the fourth sister-in-law won't."

Zhang Sihai set up a firewood again: "What's more, she can't come back. She and our mother are in such a mess. Mom won't agree, and Fangcao won't want to come back and be angry. There are others without Zhu Mancang. She is still young, it is not difficult to marry someone, and if she can marry someone better than me, she will never come back."

Zhang Sihai split the firewood fiercely, "Just marry, marry someone who your mother likes, and there will be no trouble. There must be a woman in the family, and my mother can't hold on for too long, then I will have to do it with my second brother. I can't afford to lose this person, that's it, why don't you live your life."

Zhang Wuyang was speechless.

Mom can't last long.

It turned out that even the dullest fourth brother could see it.

Zhang Wuyang looked at Zhang Sihai who was chopping firewood, and saw a bit of numbness and despair on his face.

"Fourth brother, marriage is a major event in life. Don't worry about your mother, just ask yourself if you want to marry." Zhang Wuyang looked serious.

Zhang Sihai paused for a while, and after a while of silence, he said, "Let's marry."

Zhang Wuyang didn't hear willingness, he only heard reluctance, "Fourth brother, do you want to marry a wife, or do you want to find someone to come back and cook."

Zhang Sihai was silent, and started chopping firewood again and again.

"Fourth brother, if you just want to find someone to come back to cook, then it's totally unnecessary. Mom will do it. If Mom doesn't do it, I will... I won't send the money back." Zhang Wuyang was anxious, "Fourth brother, two Do you remember what Uncle said? Second uncle asked us not to follow Mom in everything, and be filial where we should be filial, but we can't let Mom do everything."

"Old fifth." Zhang Sihai's expression became extremely strange, Zhang Wuyang's heart stunned, and when he turned back, he saw Chen Jinhua standing behind him with a livid face.

Chen Jinhua dragged Zhang Wuyang into the house and beat him while crying and scolding: "You unconscionable, I raised you so much for nothing. That's how you treat me, you can't treat me like this, listen to your second uncle. , I'm your mother, you don't listen to me, listen to your second uncle, who is your mother, your wings are hard, and you don't want me to live or die..."

Zhang Wuyang was embarrassed, "Mom, that's not what I meant."

Chen Jinhua couldn't listen to her, so she remembered that her son said that she couldn't let her do everything, and that she would not send money if she didn't do housework. She was sad and angry, and her strength increased unconsciously.

Zhang Wuyang got a little angry and grabbed Chen Jinhua's fluttering arm, "Mom, you always want us to listen to you, but you have to think for us. Which other people's family your age doesn't belong to? I’m busy with grandchildren, but we just want you to do some housework and help the second brother and the fourth brother share the burden, and we won’t let you do any other work, so you don’t want to, so we want to hurriedly marry the fourth brother. The daughter-in-law is back."

"I just don't want to do it!" Chen Jinhua was furious, "I have served you for decades, and it is impossible for me to enjoy the blessings when I am old and old."

"Then why don't you feel bad for my brother and the others being laughed at like that?" Zhang Wuyang couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart. He spent his mother's money on himself and his sister, which Zhang Wuyang could barely accept. But he can't accept his mother eating and drinking at home, knowing that the two brothers will be laughed at by doing housework and will be ridiculed and stubbornly refused to help. This is not a lazy explanation. Zhang Wuyang was reluctant to admit that his mother didn't care for them as much as they thought, but the fact made him have to admit it even if he didn't admit it. Damn, if you give them half of your sweet heart, it won't be like this.

Chen Jinhua: "I just feel bad so I want to marry them a daughter-in-law, but it's you, not just the dowry money, so I don't want your brother to marry again. I don't want you to pay, okay."

"Okay, I won't pay the money." Zhang Wuyang said loudly, "I won't send the money back until I pay off the debt. If my dad is here, he will definitely say that the family doesn't matter, the debt is more important. Mom, You love me so much, and you definitely don't want me to be chased for debts and unable to hold my head up as a human being."

Chen Jinhua was stunned, pointing at Zhang Wuyang who looked cold and speechless.

Zhang Wuyang turned around and went back to the house, Chen Jinhua was still standing there in a daze, a chill ran up the soles of his feet, so cold that his bones were shaking.

"Five, what are you doing?"

Zhang Erhe looked at Zhang Wuyang who was packing his clothes in surprise.

"I'll go back to the army first." Zhang Wuyang felt that he shouldn't have come back. If he didn't come back, he wouldn't discover many things he never noticed before, and he wouldn't suffer.

The corner of Zhang Erhe's mouth twitched.

Zhang Wuyang said while packing his things: "Mom, think more about what the second uncle said, and don't follow everything. Let's see what our family is like."

When Chen Jinhua heard this sentence, she became furious, "Do you blame me for what you mean? It's me who caused you to get divorced. You can't keep your daughter-in-law, so you can blame me if you're too good."

Zhang Wuyang raised his head: "blame me for being confused and not realizing that I have married and become a father. You are my mother, I should be filial, Kwai Hua is my wife, Junjun is my son, and I should also take care of it. But I only care about filial piety. You didn't take care of their mother and son, so Aihua divorced me."

Zhang Wuyang left home at the age of sixteen, when old man Zhang was still there, Chen Jinhua did not dare to overdo it. Chen Jinhua's excesses began after the death of Old Man Zhang, and Zhang Wuyang was already in the army at that time, so he was the least affected and the easiest to get rid of.

Zhang Wuyang carried his luggage: "Mom, I'm gone, I will still be filial when I should be filial, and I will send five yuan back every month. A strong worker in our village only earns about five yuan a month for work points. , enough to live." Saying that you don't send money is just angry words, Zhang Wuyang can't really ignore it, but he can't send money as much as before.

When a thunderbolt struck his head, Chen Jinhua was dumbfounded and grabbed Zhang Wuyang's arm in disbelief: "You are going to ignore me."

"Come on, I'll send the money back." Zhang Wuyang walked out.

Chen Jinhua was taken out of the yard by him and cried, "Five yuan is enough for what." In the past, fifteen yuan a month plus extra allowances for New Year's and festivals was not enough for her, let alone five yuan!

"People in the village can live very well with five yuan." Zhang Wuyang said in a deep voice: "After I go back, I will use five yuan for almost a month, and the other money must be saved to pay off the debt."

"Five, you can't do this!" Chen Jinhua panicked, realizing that her younger son was really cold, and hurriedly said, "I won't marry, I won't marry your brother, it's done. Mom does housework, Mom will take care of all the housework from now on, okay?"

"Whatever you want." Zhang Wuyang has found that his mother's words don't count. Whether it's his mother or his brother, he feels tired and just wants to escape, out of sight and out of mind.

Zhang Wuyang opened Chen Jinhua's hand. Chen Jinhua was so anxious that she shouted, "Second, fourth, come and persuade the fifth."

Zhang Erhe and Zhang Sihai stood there blankly, motionless.

Chen Jinhua scolded: "You are all dead, come and hold the fifth one."

Zhang Erhe and Zhang Sihai still didn't move, why were they holding on to the fifth, the fifth could go sooner or later if he wanted to, if they could, they all wanted to go, it was a very boring life.

The fierce movement of the Zhang family attracted the attention of the neighbors. When he came over, he saw Zhang Wuyang breaking Chen Jinhua's hand and strode away, away!

Chen Jinhua chased out.

"Mom! Mom!" The frightened Zhang Sitian burst into tears.

Crying so hard that Chen Jinhua's heart was broken, she looked at Zhang Wuyang, who strode away, and looked back at Zhang Sitian, who was crying.

Second Aunt Niu was stunned: "What's the situation?"

Soon, she knew the ins and outs from Chen Jinhua's hysterical crying and cursing.

How could Chen Jinhua catch up with Zhang Wuyang, who really wanted to escape from home and disappeared, Chen Jinhua sat on the ground and cried bitterly: "You are a godless thing, you must know that you are such a thing, back then I would You should have been drowned in the urinal..."

Zhang Erbo, who came to see the situation, saw that Chen Jinhua was scolding more and more unpleasantly, and interrupted loudly: "You are enough, you must know that you are such a thing. Back then, I had to persuade the third child not to marry you. Wuyang understands this. Now, I know that you, the mother, only thinks about yourself, and doesn't take the three brothers seriously at all. I understand, if he doesn't understand, he will be dragged to death by you in his life. Wuyang is enough. You have five yuan, five yuan is not enough for you to live, who do you think you are, how much you can earn a job, don't think about sucking the blood of children all day long. Don't expect the children to be good, just take care of yourself and enjoy yourself. You are also worthy of being a mother. And you two brothers, look at the fifth, have some snacks, and think about your future. Don't blindly listen to your mother. Your mother will only suck your blood to death and will not feel sorry for you. "

"You immortal, you are just jealous of my son's filial piety. You don't like me, so you stir up discord. My family's five foreigners are just like this after listening to your nonsense. My family's fifth child was so filial before." Chen Jinhua was furious and hated. Poisoned Zhang Erbo, "It's useless for your son to be unfilial, you can't see my goodness..."

Zhang Erbo's face turned pale with anger, and his whole body was trembling.

How could Zhang Er Auntie let Chen Jinhua scold, "Chen Jinhua, try again."

Why didn't Chen Jinhua, who was so angry, dare to give it a try? This test made Zhang Er Auntie a test. The two sisters first scolded each other passionately.

Seeing this, brothers Zhang Erhe and Zhang Sihai, who were at a loss, dared to go up to save their mother, Zhang Er Auntie's son was there, two more than them, not only his son, but also his daughter-in-law. The sons stopped Brother Zhang Erhe, and the daughter-in-law helped the mother-in-law beat Chen Jinhua.

Everyone else looked at it, not only did they have no intention of helping, but they were very interested. There are too many people who don't like Chen Jinhua. Who told her to always show off her son's obedience and filial piety is so annoying.

Jiang Gui knew that the follow-up was still from Aunt Niu. When the school started at the end of August, Jiang Gui sent Xiao Weinan to report to the school. Jiangjia Village and Nanqiaogou were not in the same commune, but shared a primary school.

Aunt Niu also sent her grandson who was in the first grade to the school. It was a coincidence that there were two children in one class.

"Goudan'er has also gone to school. It's time to go to school. I talked to Chen Jinhua before. She wasn't happy.

Jiang Gui smiled.

Aunt Niu took a closer look at Jiang Gui and Goudan'er. The mother and son were more in good spirits than the last time they met. It can be seen that these days are getting better and better, and then think about the old Zhang family next door.

The children were all in the classroom, and Aunt Niu dragged Jiang Gui to chat: "Zhang Wuyang has also left, you know?"

Jiang Gui nodded: "I heard."

The two villages are not far apart, and no one would have told her that Jiang Gui expressed his delight in seeing it.

"Zhang Wuyang had a falling out with Chen Jinhua and ran away, saying that he would only send five yuan back in the future, and nothing else." Second Aunt Niu pouted, "Five yuan is a lot, but Chen Jinhua doesn't dislike it enough, every day At home, I scolded Zhang Laowu to the point of being bloody, and scolded Zhang Lao Er so much that he couldn't listen anymore. After saying a few words, it's good, I stabbed a hornet's nest, and Chen Jinhua scratched the second child's face."

Speaking of which, Aunt Niu paid special attention to Jiang Gui.

Jiang Guixiao: "It's rare, he is such a dutiful son that he will make his mother angry."

Second Aunt Niu snorted: "No matter how filial a person is, Chen Jinhua's heart is also cold. You don't know this person, Chen Jinhua. You can't do anything if you don't have anything left over. In the past, there were you and Fang. The grass is dry, and you can't show it. Since I beat you all away, she is too lazy to wash her clothes and do not cook. She is too lazy to die. I have never seen such a lazy person. Jokes don't work either.

She thought that Zhang Laowu had run away, but she could figure it out, cut it, the dog couldn't stop eating shit, and after a few days, he became lazy again, and he didn't wash clothes or cook as usual. Zhang Lao Er and Zhang Lao Si were talked to by their second uncle, but they were smarter and stopped washing her clothes. Chen Jinhua scolded her son at home. The scolding was terrible, and she shut up until Zhang Laosi washed her clothes. "

"It's so simple, I've never seen such a mother who has no virtue. Asking such an old son to wash her clothes, Zhang Lao Si is useless." Second Aunt Niu tutted, "This doesn't count, Zhang Lao Wu. Isn’t the money sent back less? I don’t have money to buy meat to buy refined grains to eat. Tiantian cried and wanted to eat meat. Chen Jinhua ate all the chickens and ducks in the house. It wasn’t enough to eat chickens and ducks. Guess what happened to Chen Jinhua, she mentioned it. A big bag of sweet potatoes went out to exchange for a few kilograms of flour, and secretly ate it by himself. The second child was so angry that Chen Jinhua felt that he was right. I went to Xiangyang County to dig a canal with the fourth child, and I couldn't come back within a month. It's good to go, I don't have two sons to serve, let's see how Chen Jinhua lives."

Chen Jinhua felt that the day would be over. His son was not at home, so he had to do the laundry and cooking by himself. The key was that he couldn't open the pot. There were only half sacks of sweet potatoes left at home, and only three yuan left.

Chen Jinhua ran to the team to call Zhang Wuyang, but couldn't find anyone at all. Even if Chen Jinhua cried and made trouble at the operator, Zhang Wuyang didn't seem to be afraid of being laughed at, but he didn't come to answer the phone. Zhang Wuyang didn't dare to answer the phone, for fear that his heart would soften as soon as he answered it, and he felt that he couldn't continue to be used to his mother.

Chen Jinhua wants to go to Zhang Erhe and Zhang Sihai, the neighboring county. Without the letter of introduction, it is difficult to get through. , returned to the dirty, cluttered and deserted home, and cried bitterly in the arms of Zhang Sitian, who was at a loss for what to do: "One or two are unconscionable. Why is it so hard to give birth to such three unfilial sons. If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have given birth to them and raised them..."

Chen Jinhua scolded her son for a few days after working for a few days.

"Mom, I want to eat, I don't want to eat sweet potatoes." Zhang Sitian was so angry that she threw the sweet potatoes away. She had been eating sweet potatoes for several days.

Chen Jinhua's mouth was bitter, and the whole person seemed to be soaked in yellow lotus water, from the outside to the inside, "Sweet sweet, in a few days, your fifth brother will send money back, and mother will buy you rice." There is still half a month to send the money, I don't want to be okay, and Chen Jinhua's eyes are black when he thinks about it. There are only half a bag of sweet potatoes left at home, and not even an egg. How can I live this day?

"I'm going to eat it today, I'm going to eat it, I don't want to eat sweet potatoes." Zhang Sitian was reluctant to let go, lying on the ground crying, "I don't eat sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes are unpalatable to death, I want to eat, Mom, I want Eat dinner!"

Chen Jinhua just coaxed her, but no matter how hard she coaxed her, she couldn't coax her well. Instead, the more she coaxed her, Zhang Sitian started rolling. When she was a child, she didn't say that it would be windy and rainy, but she had never been wronged when it came to eating. There was always rice and flour that she wanted to eat.

Chen Jinhua was distressed and sad, she couldn't help but shed tears, she pulled out her three sons and scolded them one by one.

The mother and daughter were wiping away their tears miserably. The third son of Zhang Erbo's family ran in with a pale face, and told Chen Jinhua that the river had collapsed and Zhang Sihai was buried in it. The man was rescued, but his leg was not saved. .
