life struggle

Bai Lingyan had already told Bai Yijia and Sun Huiying in advance that they were not surprised by Wu Pingshun's arrival.

Bai Lingyan and Bai Yijia hurriedly got up and let Wu Pingshun into the room.

Sun Huiying gave Wu Pingshun a blank stare, she just lowered her head and continued to eat without saying anything.

Wu Xiaojun asked Sun Huiying, "Auntie, when did you come here?"

Sun Huiying said angrily, "Lingxian gave birth in the county hospital. Her family has no one. Taking care of her for a few days would drive me crazy. I didn't want to suffer there, so I came here."

Wu Pingshun said with a smile, "Parents always have to worry about children's affairs, and there is nothing they can do about it. Take Xiaojun as an example. They want him to eat, wear him, want him to learn well, and they can't stop worrying about him."

Bai Yijia asked, "Brother, are you all busy at home?"

Wu Pingshun smiled lightly, "I'm almost done. I haven't had time to communicate with you about Xiaojun and Yanzi. The two children will graduate soon. I came here specially to meet and talk with you."

Bai Yijia said, "The two children are usually very good here, and Yanzi's work unit has been settled, and they are quite good!"

Wu Pingshun asked uneasily, "You have contacted Yanzi's job, but I didn't hear what they said! I also contacted her. All the chapters of the employment agreement should be completed, and the only thing left is to go to the school to complete the formalities." Do it, the dispatch certificate will be accepted, why..."

Sun Huiying almost jumped up when she heard the words, spit out the noodle soup she was drinking on the table in front of her with a "pop", and asked with a cold face, "What do you mean, you have connected the work of Yanzi, why don't we I know, who asked you to find a job for her?"

Bai Yijia also looked at Wu Pingshun with a cold face.

Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan looked at Sun Huiying's furious look, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and stood aside in a daze with their heads down.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent in an instant.

Wu Pingshun nervously took out a cigarette, lowered his head and lighted it lightly, took a few puffs, then slowly raised his head to look at Bai Yijia and said, "It's strange if you say you don't know about this matter, if you disagree with such a big matter , the two children will not insist that I work for Yanzi over there."

Sun Huiying stared at Bai Lingyan and asked forcefully, "Did you ask Xiaojun's family to do it?"

Bai Lingyan nodded slightly and did not speak.

Sun Huiying said angrily, "You son of a bitch, think about it. What I said was not clear enough. I have no objection to the two of you getting along, but the premise must be that you are in Pingxi or Beimeng. You actually acted privately , I didn’t even say hello, I’ve supported you for more than 20 years in vain, if I knew you were so disobedient, I shouldn’t have taken you back then.”

Bai Lingyan contradicted angrily, "You have always disliked me since I was a child, I am fed up with you, stay away from you, out of sight and out of mind, I just don't want to be here, I just want to go there, can you Fuck me!"

Sun Huiying roared angrily, "Yijia, listen, listen, is she still talking in human terms? I usually treat her badly and hate me so much. Now that I am older, I have an idea. If I am annoying, learn to sneak around Do something. I don't believe it, and I can't control you, a dead girl. You have to listen to this matter, and you have to listen to it, and you must not go there, and no one can say it."

Bai Lingyan said angrily, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. I just have to marry and serve in the army. I have to go there. No one can stop me."

Sun Huiying said viciously, "Nonsense, I don't understand what you are obsessed with. We have a lot of good young men here. Could it be that you can't get married if you leave Xiaojun! You can go if you want, your father It cost you more than 1 yuan to find a job, [-] yuan in liquidated damages, and [-] yuan in living expenses for the past five years. Give me a total of [-] yuan. Otherwise, nothing will be discussed. If you dare to leave Pingxi for half a step, I'll break your leg!"

Bai Lingyan cried and scolded, "You are extorting, I will pay you back [-] yuan in the future! What kind of work unit did you find for me? It is far worse than those gangs. You are simply pushing me into the fire pit!"

Sun Huiying said sharply, "No matter how bad the unit your father found for you is better than those gangs. I'll say it again, you don't want to leave now without getting 1 yuan."

Wu Pingshun saw that the two of them were getting more and more arguing, and it was meaningless to stay any longer, so he stood up and glared at Wu Xiaojun fiercely, saying, "It doesn't make sense, it depends on what you are doing, you can do it as you want, I won't care anymore .” Said and walked out angrily.

Listening to Sun Huiying's words, Wu Xiaojun's face turned pale with anger, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he followed his father out.

Just as Bai Lingyan was about to come out, Sun Huiying grabbed her and said, "Why, don't go out."

Wu Pingshun and Wu Xiaojun went downstairs, came to a relatively empty place, and said helplessly, "Xiaojun, I'm not talking about you, you have been with them for a while, don't you know her parents' personality and temper? Why? If you don’t explain things clearly and thoroughly, how can you contact her with a job? You know how much effort I have spent on this matter and how many talents I have asked to complete it. Her mother is so unreasonable that she doesn’t even have a chance to speak I don’t even give it, there’s nothing to talk about, I don’t think Lingyan can go there, if she does, her mother will pretend to be crazy and make a scene, and we can’t afford to lose this person.”

Wu Xiaojun said angrily, "Her mother said this before, and she didn't object to my coming to get along, and she didn't take her words to heart. Who knew she would do this."

Wu Pingshun said angrily, "It's still not thoughtful. Didn't her mother just say that she wants 1 yuan, let alone we don't have it, even if he has this kind of character, he won't give her a point. Lingyan is willing to go. , I will take care of everything over there, and I will never let her get a point. But if you are here, I will not pay a point either. Tell Lingyan, this is my attitude. "

Wu Xiaojun stomped his feet, "I'll talk to them now, if you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, whoever is afraid of you!" After speaking, he turned and walked back.

Wu Xiaojun went upstairs, and before he reached the door, he heard Sun Huiying go crazy, so he couldn't help but stop and listen to what they were saying and doing.

Sun Huiying said angrily, "You son of a bitch, you don't have any brains, and you didn't open your eyes to see who his father is, a skinny, withered old man, wearing a broken straw hat that doesn't know how many years old, wearing An old blouse was dirty. He didn’t care at all. He came to see us in such a shabby way, and he looked like a poor man. If he went to him, he would not only suffer endless hardships and sins, but also fall into poverty. What's so good, I really don't know if your brain is filled with water or lead, you are simply a fool."

Bai Yijia said nonchalantly, "You can't say that about others."

Sun Huiying roared, "It's the truth, that's what I said, I just look down on Xiaojun's poor father."

Wu Xiaojun's fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were gritted loudly, and he wished he could punch Sun Huiying a few times, but he couldn't bear it any longer, so he raised his legs and took a few steps, pushed the door open fiercely, and said with an angry face, "What are you doing?" Elders, you can say whatever you want about me and Yanzi. It is your opinion and attitude whether you promise to let Yanzi go to our place, but I will never allow anyone to insult my parents who gave birth to me. To my surprise, You, as the parents of Yanzi, as an out-and-out farmer, turned out to be in the eyes of money, such power. Let me tell you, don’t you want to make money from Yanzi? Do you want to sell her? It won’t work with me , you don’t even want to get a penny. Whoever has money, you can sell her to someone!”

Bai Yijia saw that Wu Xiaojun's words became more and more angry, and the more he said, the more outrageous, he hurriedly said seriously, "Xiaojun, how can you talk like this, Yanzi is ignorant and you are ignorant, you are very responsible for today's matter. Your father suddenly came over and said He has found a good job for Yanzi, and let him go to your place, who would accept it. Your aunt is angry, and it is not too much to say a few excessive words. Before you say anything, you started yelling, Get out of here!"

After Wu Xiaojun left, Wu Pingshun was worried, fearing that he would quarrel with them if he was young and aggressive, and would come back again.

Just as Wu Xiaojun was about to retort, Wu Pingshun stopped him from behind, "Xiaojun, what are you doing, say you can't take it anymore, you deserve it, get out." He pushed Wu Xiaojun out, and then glanced at Bai Lingyan , "You go out too, I have something to say to your parents."

Bai Lingyan walked out obediently.

Wu Pingshun suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother, sister, arguing is not the solution to the problem, you two calm down first, let's talk about things."

With a sullen face, Bai Yijia pulled a stool for Wu Pingshun to sit down, while Sun Huiying sat on the bed with a livid face facing the wall.

Bai Yijia said in a muffled voice, "Brother, this happened so suddenly that no one can accept it. We raise our sons and daughters for their future well-being."

Wu Pingshun said, "There is no parent in the world who doesn't love their children, and it's the same everywhere. No matter how many children there are, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and everyone will feel distressed. To tell you the truth, Xiaojun is my favorite child. From the bottom of my heart, I don’t want to give up on him. But if he can find a suitable workplace in Pingxi, for his future happiness, I will reluctantly give up. But he has indeed made great efforts, and he has no choice but to do so. Your family Lingyan's decision to go to our place was not made out of a whim, she had been to our place for four or five days during the Spring Festival, and she knew it well, and she knew it well."

Sun Huiying turned her face away fiercely, and said angrily, "You are very good at smoothing things over for your own children. We love Yanzi to the point where we are today. It's not caused by your Xiaojun alone, or because he was tricked by him. Her deceit. It is simply lawless, and she even sent the swallows to your house. You are also very responsible, why didn't you stop them?"

Wu Pingshun said very unhappy, "Auntie, it's not right for you to say that. The two children are not angry when they are together. If they come to me in the new year, I will not drive them away. Xiaojun Don't you have no objection when you go to you? Don't you acquiesce when they get along together?"

Sun Huiying couldn't answer the question for a moment when Wu Pingshun asked her, so she turned her face away and began to sob.

Wu Pingshun went on to say, "The matter has come to this point, there is no use in complaining, we should carefully discuss what to do next."

Sun Huiying said bluntly, "I firmly disagree with letting the swallows go to your place. There is no room for negotiation."

Wu Pingshun said helplessly, "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say."
