Rebirth of the little peasant girl

Chapter 15

"In the first year I married into your family, I was doing laundry and cooking at Ah Wen's grandparents' house. At that time, everyone had already moved out. The third and fourth children hadn't married yet, so all the dirty work in the house was difficult. I did it, and I have never complained about anything. It is my duty to be a daughter-in-law to clean up the house and serve my parents, but they never wait for anyone when they eat. I have almost eaten all the dishes, and there are only some unpalatable dishes left, and I have never eaten a decent meal comfortably since I came to your house."

"Sometimes you come back late, and your parents are afraid that the noise will wake them up, so they let you sleep in the grass nest outside the yard." Liang Xin's voice was full of grievances and complaints about the unfair treatment her husband received. "Until the second year when we separated, your parents didn't give you anything valuable. Except for a set of pots and bowls, there were only two earthen houses. In the second year, our first child, Awen, was born. , but even if it’s a male doll, your father only came to see it once, when the child was full moon, your mother didn’t even look at it, let alone deliver eggs to our family and serve me on the moon She is dying, and she is not even willing to give a bowl of chicken soup. She prepared two new cotton quilts and ten diapers for the eldest brother's child when she was born, and went to see the child every other day. It really hurt the child It's in the nest."

"Our child doesn't have cotton bedding or diapers, let alone come to see the child. It was almost November and the river was already very cold. When I was still in confinement, I used a long Cloth wrapped around my back, I took the clothes and diapers and went to the river to wash by myself. The water was really cold. I still remember that feeling. Every day, I will feel uncomfortable in my bones."

"When the winter was coming that year, I was afraid that the child would not be able to stand the cold in winter, so I took fabric and cotton to find her, and asked her to make a padded jacket and trousers for the child. Do you know what she said, she Said she was not free, she said that there was a lot of work in the field, and there were too many things at home, she couldn't take care of it, she didn't have time to do it for the children, she didn't care."

"When I came back with the fabric and cotton, I was so anxious that I cried. Everyone knows that here in Xiaohan Village, there is no farm work in the winter. The big guys are resting at home. She just didn't want to do it. Later, she went to the opposite door. My sister-in-law Hong really couldn't stand it, she helped to make it, and I have never seen such a cruel grandma."

"Two years later, our family's Xiao Wu was born. At that time, the elder brother's family had already had three children, and the elder sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter at the end. They all liked it very much. The third brother's family also added A girl, she wants to see everyone, go to see this today, go to see that you tomorrow, only Xiao Wu from our family, even if it is a boy, she will not even look at it, as if it is not hers Like her grandson, she never gave anything to our family, even if it was a vegetable in the field or a green onion at home, she would rather put it there to rot or throw it away than give it to us. It’s nothing, she doesn’t Let us do the same, Ah Wen and Xiao Wu have also grown up healthily."

"The thing that makes me hate them the most is Yan'er. At that time, the family was poor, and the child was born weak. Doctor Bai said that this girl was in danger. She was not in good health since she was a child, and it was not easy to support her. Since you want it, you must take good care of it. Do you still remember that in order to buy delicious food for our daughter, we went to Awen’s grandpa and grandma to borrow money, but they didn’t give it to me? When I was raising the child, I tried everything Find a way to make up for the child, fortunately Ah Wen was already seven years old at that time, a little sensible, and Xiao Wu was already five years old, the two of them can more or less help me take care of Yan'er."

"But do you still remember what your mother did? She ran to find me by the river where I washed clothes, not because she felt sorry for our children and wanted to see her, but because her third daughter-in-law just had A son, the milk is not enough, let me feed him, I can't starve her grandson, she doesn't care whether our Yan'er is full, because the nutrition can't keep up, the child's health has been bad since childhood, She is the one who harmed our Yan'er."

"This is not the worst thing she has ever done. I remember that when Yan'er was two years old, Yan'er was seriously ill. We got up early and took her to the big hospital in the county for an examination, because we were afraid that Ah Wen and Xiao Wu came back at noon and had nothing to eat, so I gave her the key to our house and asked her to cook a meal for the two children at noon. As a result, she did cook the meal, and the children of the elder brother’s family ate it. Ah After Wen and Xiaowu came back, they didn’t eat anything, and when they left, she took away the oil, eggs, peanuts, and everything she cared about.”

"Doesn't she feel guilty? Ah Wen has become more stable since then. He seems to have grown up a lot at once. He used to be as playful as Xiao Wu, but gradually became quiet. He began to learn how to make things by himself. I will take care of my brother and sister by myself, and I will never let his grandma come to cook for me anymore."

Liang Xin spoke intermittently, and there were bursts of soft weeping.

Han Yi kept silent in the dark night. He was not good at words. He didn't know how to comfort his sad and crying wife. He knew that his parents were not good enough, but he couldn't complain. own parents.When he was young, he saw that his elder brother and younger brother were liked by his parents, and he felt sad in his heart. He hoped that the child who acted like a baby in front of his parents was himself, but as he gradually grew up, he knew that it was not easy for both father and mother. It is very hard for two people to support so many children.

Listening to his wife's crying, he felt very uncomfortable. He had no way to make his father and mother treat their children better, and he couldn't make his wife stop being sad. He knew that his wife was just crying to vent her long-term pain. Depressed in their hearts, their daughter's health gradually improved. When they were happy, their hearts were inevitably a little sour.

Neither of the husband and wife spoke again, quietly thinking about their own concerns, thinking about their daughter's getting better health, thinking about the family going to the county together in a few days, thinking about the scented tea business at the Lotus Harvest Festival, , thinking about the life of the family that will gradually get better in the future...

And Han Yan, who caused the disturbance of this topic, was lying on her small bamboo bed with a face of shock at this time, looking at the faint light in front of her eyes in amazement...
