take a wife to support the family

Chapter 58

If this happened, everyone would be unhappy, and the reunion dinner should be over.

Song Haonian told his parents that he would bring his daughter-in-law home, thinking they would agree, but the old man Song did not speak, and Niu raised his eyes and said: "Well, I gave birth to you and raised you for more than 20 years, you marry a daughter-in-law Don’t you recognize my old lady? Telling her to wait on my old lady all night?”

Song Haonian felt sorry for his daughter-in-law very much, besides, his old mother was not short of people to serve her, and it was obvious that she wanted to tease his daughter-in-law, so she was not very happy at the moment, and responded with a sullen face.

Niu patted his thigh and cried, "I want to ask my neighbors to judge, such an unfilial son, I will raise you for nothing!"

The old man Song, who had been silent all this time, took a puff of dry cigarette, and said with a final word: "Second brother, you and your wife will only stay for one night, and leave tomorrow, otherwise it won't look good."

When the son and daughter-in-law come home, if they don’t stay overnight or leave overnight, their family will be talked about, maybe someone will say that they are mean to their daughter-in-law.

Old man Song is a person who cares about face, he doesn't want to let others gossip, he has prestige in the family, and the decisions he makes, from the wife to the sons, dare not disobey.

"Second brother, go and tell your daughter-in-law that honoring your parents-in-law is a matter of course, why would you allow her to mess around?" Old man Song attributed the reason for his son's reluctance to stay at home to his daughter-in-law, which was a step down for everyone.

Song Haonian wanted to defend Lily, but suddenly thought that even if he didn't have a good reputation at home, let alone Lily?Then he turned his head and went out to find his wife.

Lily was standing at the door of the kitchen, when she saw Song Haonian coming out, she smiled at him first.Song Haonian strode over and whispered to her about Old Man Song's decision, "Just stay for one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll go home early tomorrow morning." Lily could calm things down, but she wasn't the master who swallowed her anger.If she gets angry and tries her best to maintain the relationship between Song Haonian and her family, she will be the only one who suffers in the end.

She wanted to express that she was not comfortable living in Lao Song's house and wanted to go home very much. Song Haonian also thought so, so she would face up to her grievances.

Song Haonian wanted to hug Lily very much, but Mrs. Dong came out of the kitchen and looked at them with a half-smile, so he had to clenched his fists and said to Lily: "We'll talk about it when we go home."

There are three main rooms in the Song family, the middle is the main room, the old man Song lived in the east one, and the west one was Song Haoshi and Dong with Jinbao.There are four East and West Wings, one in the East Wing belongs to Song Xiuxiu, and the other is the kitchen.

Song Haonian and Song Haojie used to live in the west chamber, since Song Haonian was separated out, Song Haojie occupied the better room, and the other room kept some sundries.

Niu made the decision, asked Song Haonian to stay with the third child, and Baihe to share a room with Song Xiuxiu.Dong's yin and yang were strange: "You young couples must be reluctant to separate, but you should be more sensible when you come home."

Song Haonian didn't want to talk to his sister-in-law, Baihe said: "Why are we talking? Don't think what's on your sister-in-law's mind, just think that everyone is thinking about something."

Dong's face flushed with anger, and he didn't speak for a long time.

To save lamp oil at night, as soon as it got dark, Niu drove his children to bed.Lily followed Song Xiuxiu to the East Wing, the house was well furnished, but Song Xiuxiu didn't have the habit of washing before going to bed, only men who worked during the day had hot water to scald their feet, other people didn't need to wash.

Do as the Romans do, Lao Song's house does not always have hot water for Lily to wash, so she had to endure it, took off her shoes and climbed into bed.

Song Xiuxiu's bed only had one pillow and one quilt, Lily was taken aback, and asked Song Xiuxiu, "Is there any pillow?"

Most people’s homes will prepare one or two pillows and a quilt for the guests. Song Xiuxiu moved lazily and lay down on the bed, "You really treat yourself as a guest! If you like to sleep or not, who will give it to you?" Where can I find a pillow, I won’t go anyway!”

Lily knew that even if she asked Niu for a pillow and quilt, the answer she would get would only be a curse. .

She and Song Xiuxiu had nothing to say, so she found a place to lie down, hoping that time would pass quickly so that she and her husband could go back to their little home.

Sure enough, Song Xiuxiu started to wrap the quilt not long after she fell asleep, obviously one quilt was more than enough to cover two people, and the weather is not too hot now, so she just wanted to roll the quilt all over herself.

At the beginning, Lily still had a corner covered, but later she couldn't move it, so she knew that Song Xiuxiu did it on purpose.Fortunately, the weather was getting warmer at this time, and Lily could bear it all night.

She knew that Song Xiuxiu was a fool, and if the two aunts and sisters-in-law fought over the quilt, it would make people laugh until next year.

The sound insulation of the house is not very good. Lily lying on the bed can hear the old man Song snoring one long and one short, Dong's high-pitched voice, and the sound of Song Haoshi slapping back, Song Jinbao thundering and raining heavily small cry...

The sound gradually decreased, only the old man Song's snoring became more and more obvious. It reached a peak and then fell quickly, as if he had died of breath.

Bai He thought to herself, fortunately Song Haonian did not have the habit of snoring, otherwise she would have suffered in the future...

When she woke up early the next morning, Lily had faint circles under her eyes, and Song Haonian's expression was not very good. I don't know what Song Haojie said to him.

Mrs. Dong cooks, making do with the leftovers from last night in a steamer.Song Xiuxiu didn't get enough sleep, and she wasn't careful when lighting the fire. There was a lot of smoke, which made several people cough and stuffy. They hurried out to get some air. Everyone's hair was full of firewood, and there were two bags of tears in their eyes from the smoke.

It's such a meal, and Niu doesn't like Lily to eat it: "Breakfast is for those who have to work, and those who don't work don't want to eat it! I don't move at home all day long, just treat me as a good-natured person!"

Lily sneered, she didn't mind eating the leftovers that had been hot for so many meals, and left after Song Haonian finished eating.

Unexpectedly, Song Haonian turned around and walked into the kitchen, boiled two eggs in a pot of water, rolled them in cold water to peel the shells.Jin Bao only thought that the eggs were for him to eat, and watched as his second uncle handed the peeled Baishengsheng eggs to his second aunt, and started crying again.

Mrs. Dong slapped Jin Bao hard and scolded, "You know how to eat when you are mourning. Are you one of those shameless people?"

Jin Bao cried louder and kicked his mother's calf with both legs. Lily knew what it was like, it hurt.

Lily pretended not to hear Dong's accusations and scoldings, and smiled sweetly at Song Haonian, bowed her head to eat the delicious boiled eggs, and gave Song Haonian the yolk.

On the one hand, there are family members who don't show any good face, and on the other hand, the daughter-in-law who has to endure being wronged, Song Haonian's heart has long been biased, and he pulled Lily to the old man Song and Niu Shi: "Father, mother, we are going back. .”

The old man Song ate the dry tobacco and said nothing, Niu raised his voice loudly: "Who are you showing embarrassment to? My mother gave birth to you and raised you all these years, so she doesn't deserve to be honored by your wife?"

There are always these words back and forth, Song Haonian thought impatiently, the kindness of childbearing is for him, and he will repay it, the daughter-in-law is to marry and go home to live, not to be a cow or a horse.

Parents and sisters don't love his wife, he loves himself!

"Mother, I will come back every month to deliver things. The food and clothing are indispensable to the elders." Song Haonian stood like a pine tree, not talking much, but it was a spit and a nail, and there was no change. There was room for her to say, "My daughter-in-law is pretty good, I don't want to spoil her, let alone others."

"You don't like to see her. In the future, she will come less often." Song Haonian felt that this was the only solution.

Niu was furious. Since she married into the Song family, she has worked hard for decades, from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law. After a few days, she managed to put on the prestige of mother-in-law, so what if she receives a little respect from daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Dong is obedient, and her natal family also has a lot of money, and she gave birth to her good-looking grandson Jinbao, so she can get two smiling faces from her.Then Li Baihe's family is poor, and she doesn't know how to please her mother-in-law. Who wouldn't such a daughter-in-law be beaten and scolded every day, but she became delicate?

"Old man," Niu screamed, "listen to what he's talking about!"

In the final analysis, the backbone of this family is old man Song. No matter how powerful Niu is, he is just the one who plays the front line. She is not the one who really calls the shots.

Song Haojie chimed in from the side: "Father, stop the second brother quickly, we can't have anything embarrassing happen to our family."

Song Xiuxiu directly began to blame Song Haonian: "Second brother, you really forgot your mother after marrying a daughter-in-law!"

The old man Song drooped his brows and eyes, and Song Haojie looked a lot like him. After smoking for a while, he said slowly, "We are all one family, so what are the two families? Come back more later."

With him around for a day, the second son would not be allowed to do such a shameful thing.

There was a stalemate for a while, the old man Song only thought that Song Haonian would listen to him, and Song Haonian understood that his family members understood what he meant, and from now on, he would ask someone to send the expenses back every month, so that his husband and wife would not come to the door to hate the head office.

I thought about it twice, and I thought it would be good to do what I said. No one came out to smooth things over, and everyone was embarrassed.

Song Haonian took Lily and walked home, silent all the way, his face was so gloomy that water dripped down, he was not liked by his parents since he was a child, he was used to it, it's okay to be wronged, but a sensible person like his wife, He can't make her suffer this wrong if he asks her parents to run on her.

Back home, Song Haonian first pressed Lily on the stool, lifted her trouser legs to see where she was kicked by Jin Bao yesterday.

There was black and blue on the calf, and he put his warm palm on it, rubbing it lightly while asking, "Does it hurt?"

Lily smiled and said, "It's not hurting anymore."

Jinbao is a child, how strong can he be?This idea will disappear after a few days.

"I'm useless, I'm looked down upon by others, and I'm even angry with you." Song Haonian said sullenly.

Lily bent down and held his face, and said with a smile: "I think you are very promising, better than your elder brother and third younger brother. Living with you makes me feel at ease."

As he spoke, he kissed Song Haonian on the face.

Song Haonian jumped up all of a sudden, his face was a little red, and he slowly smiled: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely make you live a good life!"
