When An Dongmei led someone into the room, Hehua, as her daughter, was originally very happy. But when he saw a group of people following him, his face suddenly turned dark.
"Mom, what day is it today? Why did you bring all your sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces?"
Lu Ya on the side curled her lips and said without mercy.
"More than that, your elder brother and younger brother are all here. It's just that they are all men and it's not easy to come in."
Hearing such words, the daughters-in-law from Hehua's family lowered their heads in shame. Going to someone else's house to eat and drink is really not something you can say out loud.
The expression on He Hua's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. She felt that she had lost all face in this family and was looked upon as a joke by her husband's family.
If her mother's family is so out of character, what will her husband's family think of her in the future? Is it because she had a hard time in her husband's family and only her parents' family lived a comfortable life
On the contrary, An Dongmei, who was the culprit, had no change at all on her wrinkled old face. She was still smiling as happily as before, as if she didn't hear Lu Ya's sarcastic words.
Judging from the way she smacked her lips from time to time, she seemed to be still reminiscing about the dishes on the dinner table that were very delicious to ordinary people. You know, in normal times, their family can't eat such good food.
Hehua gritted her teeth and wished she could curse directly. But the person in front of him was her own mother, and she absolutely couldn't do this. So she could only look at Lu Ya on the side and discuss it.
"Brother and sister, we two want to talk about something private. Can you please step aside?"
Lu Ya immediately saw clearly the embarrassment and disappointment hidden under He Hua's face, and without saying anything else, he directly gave He Hua some face and retreated from the room.
When he heard the footsteps walking away, Hehua patted the quilt and asked with a sad and angry look.
"Mom, what's going on with you? Why did you bring so many people from the whole family here? Do you know the rules today? You can only ask for the Wen woman who helps deliver the baby, the doctor who treats difficult labor, and the woman's father. Mom, oh! Sometimes you can add a grandparent, but look at you, is there even one person left in the family?"
When An Dongmei heard this, she didn't take it seriously at all. She waved her hand nonchalantly and said confidently.
"Daughter, what are you talking about? That's right, I just brought them here to have a meal, so what? Anyway, the Zhou family is much richer than our Zheng family, so we can still afford a meal."
Hehua's full name is Zheng Hehua, and she is the daughter of the Zheng family. She patted the quilt angrily again and said with an extremely ugly face.
"Mom, this is not a question of whether you have money or not, this is a question of face and rules. Look at which family has someone like you who comes with a whole family."
An Dongmei still didn't think anything was wrong, and she was as thick-skinned as a city wall and retorted.
"You still have the ability to talk about your mother, but let's see which of your daughters is like you? She's sharp-tongued and she despises your mother."
Lotus Porcelain Teeth grinned, grabbing the flower quilt covering her body, and said in a difficult tone.
"Mom, before you say this, can you look at what you did first? You are so willful and willful, do you want me to still have face in this mother-in-law's family? I know that I am a daughter's family, compared to mine These brothers are not welcome by you. But I am married now and belong to someone else’s family. Can you give me more face? "
Hearing such words, An Dongmei was shocked. She looked at her daughter up and down and said with a look of amazement.
"Hey! Your wings become stiff after you get married. How dare you talk to your mother like that?"
Hehua suddenly reacted and couldn't help being shocked. I don't know how good her life has been at her husband's house these years. Eat well, wear warm clothes, and sometimes my mother-in-law will distribute some things. Now she is so confident that she has the ability to directly confront her mother.
When she realized this, she still had no regrets. My mother-in-law is a very nice person, but I can’t help but let my mother-in-law hold me back. If this continues, she is not sure what her mother-in-law will think of her, and whether she will be as good to her as before.
The sisters-in-law quietly raised their heads and looked at He Hua, who was lying on the bed for confinement, with the expressions of a warrior. This sister-in-law is really amazing, she actually touches her mother-in-law’s face so blatantly.
If it were them, they would only complain a few words, but they wouldn't dare to say it so fiercely. After all, she is their mother, and if there is any problem, they cannot be blamed in person. Moreover, if a married daughter wants to live well in her husband's family, she will inevitably need the support of her mother's family.
If Hehua heard what these sisters-in-law were saying, she would probably not take it seriously. Can such a natal family support her? It would be a blessing if it didn't hold me back.
Moreover, she stands very firmly in her husband's house and does not need support from others at all. You can tell by looking at her treatment. From the beginning to the end, her mother-in-law valued her very much.
Hehua, who was still lying on the kang for confinement, sighed, and instead of answering An Dongmei's question directly, she said helplessly.
"Mom, if you bring one or two nieces and nephews over, no one will say anything. But if you bring this big family here, it's just a slap in my face. Isn't it true that in my heart, there is no Do I have the status of a daughter? If you do this, how will I survive in my husband’s family?”
Does An Dongmei care about Lotus's feelings? To be honest, I do care. After all, the lotus flower is also a piece of flesh that fell from her body. It is the daughter she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy.
However, this little care cannot compare with so many sons, nor can it compare with so many grandchildren. Therefore, An Dongmei just waved her hand and said as if she didn't take it to heart.
"Daughter, I think my mother-in-law has a very good attitude and won't do anything to you, so don't worry! If she treats you badly, go back to your parents' house and tell your brothers, and they will support you."
"Support me? Haha!"
Hehua sneered and shook her head inwardly. Her mother didn't understand the cause and effect at all, or she didn't intend to reflect on it even if she knew it. If the members of her mother's family obey the rules and know etiquette in her husband's family, does her Lotus still need support
"That's it, sisters-in-law, please find a place to sit. Don't stand. Lean over here. There's a fire burning under the kang. It's very warm."
Seeing that her daughter no longer mentioned the incident just now, An Dongmei changed the subject in a good-natured manner.
"Daughter, this is my grandson! He is quite handsome. He will definitely be a handsome young man in the future."
As she said that, she picked up the swaddling clothes beside the pillow and coaxed her gently.
Bao'er felt the kindness of her grandmother, smiled cheerfully, and waved her little fist, as if to say hello.
He Hua rolled her eyes. The second brother and the second younger brother and sister clearly reported the letter when they went to the second younger brother and sister's parents' home, and also gave them a New Year's gift. Why didn't anyone in the mother's family ask about the gender of the child at that time
She sighed and had no choice but to remind him and said, "Mom, this is not your grandson, but your granddaughter."
As soon as the three words "Lotus Granddaughter" were spoken, An Dongmei's expression changed, her original smile turned into disgust, and she threw the child in her arms on the bed.
"The wedding banquet of a granddaughter is so well organized. My mother-in-law is really wasting her money. She might as well keep this money to give her future grandson a wife and give birth to a fat boy."
Bao'er looked confused. Even the pain coming from her back couldn't wake her up. For the first time, she knew and experienced personally that boys and girls were different in this world.
Most men and women like boys, but they treat girls with the greatest malice. The person who hurts women the most is always the woman herself.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Hehua didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, and jumped forward with a cry of surprise. But it was still too late, and the little baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes and fell directly on the kang.
"Bao'er popped out of my belly, with the same blood flowing in her body, and you treat her like this?"
An Dongmei patted her clothes as if she had touched something dirty and said without caring at all.
"I'm just a girl, her life is very cheap. Why are you so anxious? You won't die. Your top priority is to take good care of your body and give birth to a grandson. Only in this way can you have a foothold in your husband's family, and someone will take care of you in the future. .”
"What happened to my daughter? My daughter is also my daughter."
Hehua anxiously untied the swaddling clothes and looked at the large red mark on her young daughter's back. Anger burned from the bottom of her heart and she shouted very unfilially.
"You leave, you leave me. You don't love your daughter, I love mine. She was born in my tenth month of pregnancy, and you ruined her like this. Have you ever thought about me?"
An Dongmei was also angry, and slapped him in the face, cursing at the same time.
"Stinky girl, how dare you talk to your mother like this for a little girl's film. How much is a little girl's film worth? If you die, you will die."
Lotus protected Bao'er, the anger in his eyes getting even worse. She raised her head and was about to explode when the door creaked open.
Wu Meili walked in from the door with her daughter-in-law Lu Ya. After closing the door, she waved her paw towards An Dongmei.
"My mother-in-law, you are so unkind. When you come to my place, I give you food and drink. This is how you treat my granddaughter. If you don't give me an explanation today, it will be the end for both of us."
An Dongmei didn't understand Wu Meili's thoughts at all, but said with contempt.
"My mother-in-law, are you stupid? She's just a little girl, does she deserve to be treated like this? She's just a loser who got married and can be raised casually."
Wu Meili scolded angrily while fighting with An Dongmei.
"My mother-in-law, aren't you a woman yourself? When you talk about your granddaughter like that, is it possible that you are also a loser? Before you talk about others, think carefully about who you are?"
An Dongmei raised her eyebrows and showed no mercy.
"How can it be the same?"
Wu Meili snorted coldly and continued her attack.
"How can it be different? You are both women?"
Seeing the two mother-in-laws beating and scolding each other, all the wives present were stunned. They wanted to pull them apart, but there was no way.
Because, when He Hua and his sisters-in-law were about to approach the two mother-in-laws, Lu Ya stood up with a fierce look on her face and looked at them coldly and ruthlessly.
In just a few breaths, the outcome was decided.
For more than ten years, Wu Meili, who had no adult man in her family to take charge of the overall situation, won a great victory.
She is a tough being who can fight with men when necessary. Although An Dongmei is also not easy, she is definitely not her opponent.
Wu Meili looked around, then took a few steps forward and held a scanner in the palm of her hand.
On the other side, several sisters-in-law from Hehua's natal family finally had the opportunity to overcome the obstacle of Luya and help An Dongmei, who was lying on the ground, up.
An Dongmei didn't appreciate it and gave her a slap in the face. Although it didn't hit the face directly, it landed on the arm, hand, shoulder, or back.
Several daughters-in-law are like quails, they dare to be angry but dare not speak out. No, no, no, it should be said that she didn't even have any thoughts of being angry, she just served her mother-in-law docilely.
At this time, Wu Meili took the broom and returned to the original place. She waved the broom in her hand and started beating.
An Dongmei was startled, and after pushing out several wives as shields, she walked out the door. Even the girl who was worried about her child had been forgotten.
No one noticed that Baoer, who was lying on the kang for examination, looked at Wu Meili with admiration and had a lofty ideal in his heart. She wanted to be like her grandma, beating others until they would never say anything unpleasant again.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were kicked out by Wu Meili with a broom, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
As An Dongmei's husband, Zheng Tiezhu quickly stood in front of An Dongmei and firmly protected An Dongmei.
"My mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Several sons of the Zheng family were no exception. They all stood in a row with Zheng Tiezhu and looked warily at Wu Meili, who was still holding the broom.
The three Zhou Dalang brothers didn't know what happened, but they also understood that now was not the time to say anything more. So they did what any son should do and united with his mother.
Wu Meili snorted coldly, clapped the broom in her hand and said.
"My father-in-law, why don't you ask your mother-in-law, what did she do in the room? Didn't Hehua come out of her belly, and she treated Hehua's daughter like that? I couldn't even love Bao'er, she actually dared to hurt Bao'er, me and She’s irreconcilable.”
When Zheng Tiezhu heard this, his expression changed drastically. The person in the room was not his grandson, but his granddaughter. He suddenly understood why his mother-in-law was so angry
As a husband, he understands his wife's temperament, but Dongmei never takes her daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, or granddaughter into consideration. No matter how many times he said it, Dongmei still refused to change. This time it must have been her mother-in-law's fault.
Thinking like this, Zheng Tiezhu turned around and slapped An Dongmei in the face. Then, with An Dongmei's disbelieving eyes, she apologized to Wu Meili.
Is Wu Meili happy to see this scene
No, she wasn't happy at all.
Domestic violence men, scoff!
Wu Meili didn't say anything and directly asked the family to leave. There is a good excuse, that is, Bao'er was injured and now he has to go to the town to see a doctor.
Zheng Tiezhu didn't refute and left directly with the people. He brought a whole family over to share the meal and injured the newly born baby. No matter how good-natured my biological mother is, she can't tolerate them anymore.
Not long after leading the family away, he scolded An Dongmei behind him, who looked aggrieved: "These people, whether you scold them or not feed them, how can you do anything? Do you know Do you know how much it would cost to call a doctor if it was broken? Especially for granddaughters. The water thrown by a married daughter is someone else's granddaughter, not yours. If there is something wrong, your biological mother will ask you to claim compensation. , can you afford to pay?"
"What's going to happen to a little girl? She won't die if she falls."
An Dongmei covered her cheek and said hesitantly.
"It's all a fuss made by my mother-in-law. Whose granddaughter didn't grow up with a lot of beatings?"
Zheng Tiezhu wished he could slap her again, but thinking that if his wife was seriously injured, he would still be the one spending the money, so he put down his hand in pain.
"Didn't you hear what I said? I said that was not your granddaughter. If our granddaughter died, she would be dead, and outsiders would not make irresponsible remarks. But that is the granddaughter of the Zhou family, If they bring people over to make trouble, there’s nothing we can do.”
An Dongmei nodded weakly, indicating that she understood. Little did he know that the granddaughters behind them, who were listening to their grandparents, looked at the two of them with unconcealable fear and fear.
Even a few parents subconsciously protected their daughters. As long as he is beaten and scolded on weekdays and stingy and harsh in life, he can still survive in the end. But if they were beaten to death, they would still feel bad.
After watching a group of indifferent people walk away, Wu Meili ignored the questions from her sons, directly held the broom and entered the room again with her wife Lu Ya.
This time, Zhou Dalang also followed in and looked worriedly at the sad He Hua and his daughter on the bed.
Wu Meili threw the broom away and sat on the kang in panic. Looking at the large red patch of skin on Bao'er's back, she was so sad that she almost cried.
"Bao'er, tell grandma, does it hurt? If it hurts, cry quickly and grandma will take you to a doctor. Don't lie to grandma. Your body is yours and I will never allow you to ruin it."
The little baby felt the kindness surrounding him and smiled. After hearing what Wu Meili said, she burst into tears suddenly.
When Wu Meili saw this scene, how could she not understand in her heart. My precious granddaughter must be in pain, but she was just trying not to cry.
She sniffed, quickly picked up Bao'er, and patiently put the child in heavy swaddling clothes while giving urgent instructions in a tone of voice.
"Boss, please bring the cow out quickly. I want to send Bao'er to see the doctor."
"Okay, mother."
Zhou Dalang gritted his teeth and nodded, then glanced at his wife and daughter worriedly, turned around and left.
Wu Meili placed the child next to Hehua, whose eyes were red, and gave the same quick instructions.
"You take good care of the child, and I'll go and pack up the flatbed truck. The child is still young and can't see the wind, so it's definitely not possible to just carry him there."
He Hua nodded quickly and watched her mother-in-law leave at lightning speed.
The author has something to say: There are people who torture their granddaughters to death nowadays, let alone in ancient times? I'm glad that I live in a modernist society and have a life that's not perfect, but it's not a bad life either.
