Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 274 Ma Xiufang’s terminal illness
It rains from the sky and flows from the ground below, and the couple fights without holding grudges.

After yesterday's night and today's day, the anger in Ma Xiufang's heart had long since dissipated.

Thinking about it carefully, there are some things that are really not the fault of his old man, but his son Zhang Zhaote's failure.

With his own conditions, he couldn't find any kind of girl in Kyoto, so why did he fall in love with the daughter of a local cadre?

Let's forget about it, after all, everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables, and it's not easy for parents to disagree with each other when they are in love.

But Ma Xiufang couldn't figure out how her son could be manipulated by an unattractive woman.

Ma Xiufang's teeth itched with hatred when she thought of all the bad things her son Zhang Zhao had been encouraged to do over the years.

Sometimes I get so angry that I never think about getting a divorce, as my old man said, but when I think of my grandson, I have to knock out my teeth and swallow it.

The only thing I'm glad about now is that my precious daughter, who I've been worrying about, has a good vision and has found a good home, unlike that wimpy son who just lets the family worry about her.

“The same rice feeds all kinds of people.”

While she was worried about her son's bad character, Ma Xiufang couldn't help but compare Zhang Zhao and He Yuanchao together.

Comparing all aspects of human nature, personality and temperament, Ma Xiufang is also straightforward.

"You two can't help but talk about it. I was just thinking that you were almost home, but before I could go out to take a look, I heard you two entering the courtyard."

Ma Xiufang, who has a strong personality, heard her daughter say this, and immediately thought of Zhang Lide's usual habit of finding fault with others.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they met He Yuanchao and Zhang Min who opened the door and entered the house.

"Mom, if you say that, then I will have to look forward to you nagging me more in the future."

The words of the elders really make sense if you take a closer look.

He Yuanchao saw that Ma Xiufang's voice was full of energy when she spoke, and there was no other abnormality on her face except that she looked a little tired, so he guessed that it might be sunny after the rain.

Just as she was sighing, Ma Xiufang heard the sound of people parking bicycles and talking in the courtyard.

"Why are you venting your anger on the same thing as your dad now, always making a fuss over these trivial things?

Zhang Min, who was following He Yuanchao, heard the conversation between the two of them and couldn't help but rolled his eyes at them and said: "Okay! Go to the house quickly, the door is still open!"
If outsiders hear you talking about this and that, they might think you are engaging in some kind of feudal superstition! "

"Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."

It doesn’t matter that my son has never eaten good pork. We accept the worldly aspect because of his weak character, but what about his vision?
Could it be that the education of myself and Zhang Lide from childhood to adulthood was a waste of time?
As long as her son Zhang Zhao listens a little and has half the ability of his son-in-law He Yuanchao in dealing with people, then she, Ma Xiufang, will not suffer from this cowardice between them.

This is our own home. I can say whatever I want. I don’t believe it anymore. Who can punish me for this? "

After saying this, Ma Xiufang put away her frown, got up from the sofa and walked to the door with a smile.

Seeing that his mother-in-law's tone was not kind, and fearing that the two of them would get into trouble over such a trivial matter, He Yuanchao did not wait for Zhang Min to speak and hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Mom, I've been riding all the way, and my chest has already touched my back. Please see if you can do a good job and find me something to eat first."

When Ma Xiufang heard this, she ignored Zhang Min, turned around and pretended to be angry and said: "Look at what you said, can you still be hungry when you get to Mom's place?
The meal has been prepared long ago. "

After saying that, he asked He Yuanchao to follow him into the house. Because she got angry with her daughter in front of her son-in-law, Ma Xiufang also felt a little regretful, but she just couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Could it be that with my symptoms, I also had some stage of what the fat lady in the logistics department said?
……

After the three of them finished eating, Zhang Min saw Ma Xiufang looking unhappy, so he walked up to her and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you still angry with me?"

We are not a generation with advanced information these days. If you have any doubts, you can get a rough idea by going online to Du Niang.

During this period, many people may not even have heard of the name of menopausal syndrome, let alone understand the details.

The fat woman only knew a little bit about it, and when her exaggerated words reached Ma Xiufang, it almost became an incurable terminal disease.

Not sure whether she was sick or not, Ma Xiufang didn't want her daughter to be frightened by her, so she pretended to be normal and said: "I'm not as narrow-minded as your father!
I was thinking about the daily necessities of my work unit..."

"mom."

Before Ma Xiufang could finish her words, Zhang Min, who was obviously unconvinced, interrupted her and said, "I am not a three-year-old child anymore. I, your daughter, am the People's Police. Do you think you can deceive me by telling such lies?"

Seeing that the reason she made up casually did not fool Zhang Min, Ma Xiufang came up with another excuse in the blink of an eye.

"Alas! If you don't make your father angry, I couldn't get a good sleep last night."

After listening to Ma Xiufang's whispered words in her ear, Zhang Min turned her head and looked at her face carefully for a few times before she whispered to comfort her, "Mom, don't think too much.

It’s not like you don’t know my dad’s temper. He’s always been very cruel to my brother. I guess he’s trying to think of a solution right now! "

Ma Xiufang, who has slept with Zhang Lide for most of her life, understands her old man's temper and character better than Zhang Min.

In the past, when there was no son-in-law He Yuanchao, Zhang Lide's words might have been angry words, but this time Ma Xiufang could clearly feel that the old man was not angry with her.

well! What if I really get an incurable disease and get ahead of my father and son? How will the relationship between father and son be managed?
Zhang Zhao's little white-eyed wolf is nothing, the key is what will my grandson do in the future?

Lu Wenli has an older brother and a younger brother, and her father has several grandchildren. Can she devote herself to raising grandchildren with a foreign name in the future?
……

"I hope so!"

The more Ma Xiufang thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. When she responded to Zhang Min's words, she couldn't help but have a hint of sadness in her tone.

Zhang Min saw that after trying to persuade her for a long time, Ma Xiufang's mood became more and more depressed. At her wits' end, she quickly winked at her husband, He Yuanchao.

He Yuanchao, who was sitting aside drinking water, originally didn't want to interrupt, but after seeing Ma Xiufang's sad expression, he couldn't help but speak.

He Yuanchao didn't know much about the situation of his father-in-law and brother-in-law, so he didn't talk about Zhang Zhao's affairs. Instead, he took a different approach and asked some questions that he didn't understand at work.

After hearing about the future of her son-in-law, Ma Xiufang cheered up and started chatting with him.

"Steel is too hard and easy to break, but jade is too hard and easy to break..."

Although Ma Xiufang didn't care much about career, He Yuanchao felt that some of the words she said benefited a lot.
