It's midsummer.
It is rare to be free in the evening, and the women who come back from the field like to gather under the big tree at the door to chat.
Let’s talk about Zhang’s parents and Li’s family.
At this time, a woman wearing a white floral blouse, a pair of trousers and a bamboo basket on her back came over.
She is a little different from the women in the village. She is afraid of getting sunburned, so she can cut and sew sleeves from clothes she doesn’t wear, and wear them on her hands as sleeves. She also wears a hat when she goes to work.
Only those educated youths would be so particular about it.
"Ji Yang's wife, just came back from work now?" Sister Li looked at her and greeted her with a smile.
"Yeah." Ye Jiao nodded and smiled, "Now I'm going to go home and cook."
She raised her head, her face was small and her skin was fair and clean, but the women in the village gritted their teeth with envy.
He speaks softly and softly, and at first glance, he seems a little submissive, otherwise, how could he be kicked out by his sister-in-law, and he didn't get any benefits, and even took a "oil bottle" away.
"It's not too early now, go back quickly, I think your Ji Yang has gone back a long time ago, maybe he's waiting." Sister Li smiled and said again.
Hearing this, Ye Jiao withdrew her hand holding the bamboo basket and forced a smile, "Then I'll go back first."
"go Go."
…
As soon as she walked away, the women sitting together couldn't hold back their mouths, "Ji Yang is lazy, he's a daughter-in-law who doesn't look good, and looks like he's weak at work, and he doesn't know if he can take it all day to three credits."
In this day and age, everyone eats from a big pot, and the production team distributes food according to work points. If there is less food, the stomach will be hungry.
"Yeah, now that Ji's family is separated, in this case, I'm afraid they will starve to death, right? Zhang Miaolan's waist is straight now."
"Isn't that right, after giving birth to twins, Ji Dachao dare not speak loudly to her now, no matter how much Zhang Yan loves this little son, he has to shut up."
…
"Oh, you look so good, you've been doing this for a few years, but even we are not as good as him. At least we have a man in our family who can stand up and take good care of the children if he doesn't want to work."
"No."
…
Everyone discussed and laughed again.
At this time, Ye Jiao had already reached home and was opening the door.
Before I went in, there was already a voice of abuse from inside, "It's getting dark, you just came back now, are you going to starve my son to death?"
The woman who was talking was looking at her with a dark face, "Tell me about you, why did my son marry you? You can't do anything, you say you go to work to grab food, but you can't do it. what?"
"Mom..." Ye Jiao timidly called out to the other party, feeling a little embarrassed by being scolded, ashamed and angry but didn't know how to talk back.
My heart is also wronged.
The production team eats the same meal. She is not skilled in farm work, and she is a step behind others. Naturally, she will not be full if she goes late.
I don't know who passed it to Zhang Yan's ears, most likely it made the other party feel ashamed.
"Yoko hasn't come back yet? Don't hurry to cook? The man has been working in the field, and you still don't care about the family." Seeing her delicate and weak appearance, Zhang Yan became angry.
What kind of educated youth from the city does my son want to marry, his body is so weak, and he doesn't know if he can have children. If he marries a woman from the same village, like her eldest daughter-in-law, she is a little bit more powerful, but she can work, once There are still two more.
Getting more and more angry, he pointed to the side where there were a few sweet potatoes, and continued, "Yoko needs to be full when he goes to work in the fields, cook more rice for him, don't just focus on yourself all day long, he is your man! "
When Ye Jiao heard this, she looked at those sweet potatoes with tears in her eyes, thanks to the fact that it was dark and Zhang Yan couldn't see them.
How could she treat Ji Yang badly
The other party didn't go to work at all, they were kicked out by the sister-in-law, and they lived in a small leaky house, and he could go back to have a meal from time to time, but what about her
There was almost no rice at home, he didn't go to work, she was slow at work, and was often bullied, he didn't care about it at all.
"Did you hear what I said? If you let me know that you are avoiding eating by yourself, I can't spare you!" Zhang Yan showed her aggressiveness, and the more she looked at Ye Jiao, the more angry she became.
What's the use of looking good? Marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside means marrying a hard-working, good-looking wife who is still restless. Maybe it's just to seduce men!
"What's the noise? Are you letting people sleep?" Ji Yang pushed open the door, looked at the yard, and frowned, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yan was taken aback, turned her head to see her youngest son, and was taken aback, "Yoko, are you home?"
"I'm so sleepy, where are you going if you don't sleep at home? Mom, why are you here?" Ji Yang scratched his head, with a natural tone, "What delicious food did you bring?"
Although the family is separated, Zhang Yan always helps the younger son from time to time, feeling sorry for his suffering.
"Mom brought you a big sweet potato and asked your wife to steam it for you." Zhang Yan restrained her expression and laughed.
What happened to sleeping at home
When you are tired, take a break once in a while.
"What's so delicious about sweet potatoes? Mom didn't bring eggs this time?" Ji Yang was a little displeased.
"Your sister-in-law still wants to eat, otherwise there will be no milk, mom next time..." Zhang Yan's eyes were a little dodgy when she said this, and she couldn't guarantee it.
The eldest daughter-in-law is very strict now, telling them to live with the younger son if she said anything, and they will not raise them in the future.
The other party just gave birth to a grandson, if they don't live together, wouldn't the grandson not be able to see it? That was Zhang Yan's life.
"I'm going to starve to death. I eat some wild vegetables every day. Forget it. I'll go to Mom's tomorrow. Mom will make me some meat." Ji Yang said casually,
"Where is there any meat in the house? Why are the two hens I gave you gone?" Zhang Yan glanced to the side, stared at Ye Jiao, and yelled, "Did you kill and eat it? My son Why did you marry a prodigal woman like you? There is no woman like you in the whole village."
How could Ye Jiao bear it
Just as he was about to speak, Ji Yang said lightly, as if he was still thinking about it, "I killed it. Do you eat it early or late? The chicken is very fat."
Zhang Yan was almost angry. People in the countryside relied on two hens to lay eggs. They used to be reluctant to eat eggs, let alone kill old hens. They were only willing to kill one during the Chinese New Year.
She just felt dizzy, and within a month of separation, the two old hens had been killed. She pointed at Ye Jiao with trembling fingers, "It must be you, it must be you, I shouldn't have let you into Ji's house!"
Thousands of mistakes are not the fault of his own son, the women from the city don't understand anything, they are simply here to harm his old Ji's family.
"I don't want to go in!" Ye Jiao suppressed the sourness in her eyes, couldn't help but say something, threw the bamboo basket aside, and walked directly into the door.
"You still dare to talk back, look at your daughter-in-law, you didn't listen to your mother and married such a thing back then." Zhang Yan felt that she couldn't handle the eldest daughter-in-law, could she also handle the soft-bun's younger daughter-in-law
"It's of no use."
"I don't think you should go to a barefoot doctor to see her in the first place. You will be harmed even if you marry her. Seeing her makes me angry!"
…
Ye Jiao walked into the room, tears welled up in her eyes, she was full of grievances and had nothing to say, her shoulders trembled violently when she heard Zhang Yan yelling outside.
Her life was extremely dark.
Her father was sent to work as a prisoner, died of a sudden illness in prison, and her mother married another person. She was sent to the countryside as an educated youth, and then married Ji Yang.
She has endured the problems of the family, but she can't see the end of this life. Her life shouldn't be like this. Why is it like this now
The cursing outside stopped after some time, Ji Yang opened the door and walked in, Ye Jiao also wiped away his tears, turned around and didn't look at him.
She was fine before she got married, caring about her, helping her with farm work from time to time, finding a doctor for her, and accompanying her through that dark time. After getting married, the whole person changed a lot.
Lazy, selfish, irritable, childish, weak...
It can be said that all the shortcomings of a man are gathered in one body. No one can imagine how difficult it is for her to live after being kicked out by Zhang Miaolan.
Apart from an old house, an old quilt, and two old hens, the family has nothing left.
She is a woman who actually wants to work in the field to earn work points, that's fine, Ji Yang is either doing nothing or sleeping at home.
"Don't cry." His words came from behind.
The tears that Ye Jiao had just held back flowed down again, he could only say this, and he became more and more impatient recently.
Sometimes he would go out directly, ignoring her.
"Mom is like that." Ji Yang came over again, "Just don't take it seriously."
"Is it my mother who is crying? Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to go to the field? What happened? I slept all day, and if this happens, what shall we eat? To steal? Or to rob?" Ye Jiao couldn't hold back anymore. Turning her head to look at him, her eyes were extremely disappointed, "I don't ask you to work hard to earn ten work points a day like others, but why don't you even earn three work points?"
"I'm a little tired today, and I don't want to go." Sitting on the wooden bed, Ji Yang looked at her, "Go tomorrow."
Ye Jiao didn't believe him at all, her heart sank slowly, and she didn't want to waste it in the end. She was very tired after working all day, so she stood up and went out, "I'll cook first."
Looking at her lonely and helpless back, Ji Yang also sighed in his heart.
Now it is the 1970s, if there is no male in the family to work and earn work points, then people will look down on them secretly, and they will feel bad luck when they look at it.
Just like now, outsiders are waiting to see the joke. After all, Ye Jiao is the best-looking among this group of educated youths, but she married him, a idle and lazy person.
Zhang Miaolan also gave birth to a son and a daughter, and felt that she was a great hero. She had long been displeased with the doting of the two elders of the Ji family, and they were kicked out of the house as soon as he married Ye Jiao.
Although Ji Liang and Zhang Yan loved their youngest son dearly, they couldn't help their eldest daughter-in-law to return to her natal home, so they had no choice but to drive them out.
According to the plot of his previous life, he continued to be undisciplined, relying entirely on Ye Jiao to support the family. Ye’s father loved her very much when he was alive, so she didn’t know how to do farm work, and she did it very slowly. She was teased by the women in the village. abdomen.
Later, the educated youth could return to the city. Ye Jiao felt that her hard life was over and wanted to go back, but unfortunately she became pregnant.
Reluctant to kill him, he gave birth, thinking that he might grow up a bit as a father, but he didn't care about it at all, and went to Ji's house from time to time to grab some food, and laughed at being ridiculed by Mrs. Ji.
She raised the child by herself, gritted her teeth and shed tears, and became ill from exhaustion, and her original love turned into full of hatred.
Even so, he didn't care, he was very unrestrained, he would cheat the next meal when he was done eating, and when he was old and his son was promising, he would pester others for support, and even go to his daughter-in-law for money Ye Jiao was so angry that he sent her to the hospital.
Such a faceless and skinless person, who has no worries and cares for most of his life, gets seriously ill when he is old, and only feels good to have his children, grandchildren and wife by his side when he is unable to get up in bed.
The son was notified to come to see him. He thought he could be taken to take care of him, but he didn't expect that the other party only paid for a nanny to come and tell Ye Jiao about it when he was about to die.
He still remembered that Ye Jiao was full of white hair, looking at him dying on the bed, her lips trembling, her mood was very complicated, "Son, he is your father."
But before he closed his eyes, he heard his son's answer. The other party's tone was not fluctuating, and could even be said to be cold-blooded and ruthless, "I didn't raise him after he was born, and I gave him a pension for my mother's sake."
"For a person like him, the son of Qingming will not offer him a stick of incense in the future. He is used to being clean by himself, so why should we bother?"
…
It is such a selfish person, after hearing what his son said, his heart hurts, and he feels that his leisurely life has made no contribution.
The person who made the wish was the original owner, and his wish was to treat the family well and be a good husband and father.
