In recent days, Cao Erlang has been thinking about going to the grassland.
The pros and cons are clearly in front of me, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.
Another busy and meaningless day.
He took advantage of it a few times, and was stabbed by his brother in front of his parents.
His father, Mr. Cao, was not doing well, but his mother, Mrs. Cao Xu, began to scold him.
Standing at the door of the main room, scolding from afternoon to evening, scolding until dark to eat.
Continue to scold at the dinner table.
Her words are harsh and mean, her face is ugly, and she is a typical rural selfish old lady.
Just scolding Cao Erlang
Surely not.
Mrs. Cao Xu arrested Cao's second daughter-in-law and children, and she scolded them all in the most vicious and vulgar language.
Master Cao remained silent.
Although he can understand that the second child is taking money, after all, a man needs some private money. But he also thinks that the second child deserves scolding.
So he acquiesced to Cao Xu's curse.
The old, the old, and the four families gloated and made trouble.
All kinds of fighters at the dinner table, accompanied by Cao Xu's unbearable scolding, the scene was so embarrassing that I wished I could find a place to sneak in.
No matter how honest Cao Erlang's daughter-in-law is, she can't stand it anymore.
It's fine to scold the couple, why scold their children.
I can't eat this meal.
She dropped the chopsticks and forcibly took the child away.
"Is this her attitude? Ah, what kind of attitude? Who gave her the guts to show her face? I think she just doesn't clean up..."
Cao Xu was furious.
Throw away the chopsticks and take the child away, demonstration
Today she let the second daughter-in-law know how good she is as a mother-in-law.
Before I could finish my words, I was about to chase him out with a broom.
Snapped!
Cao Erlang directly dropped the bowl and chopsticks, shocking everyone in the room.
Cao Xu was also shocked, turned around, and looked at Cao Erlang in disbelief, "How dare you throw the bowl? My mother gave birth to you, raised you, and this is how you repay my mother. God, what did I do? You actually gave birth to you, a white-eyed wolf..."
Cao Xu is best at crying, making trouble and hanging himself.
When she was a daughter-in-law back then, she relied on this hand to overthrow her mother-in-law.
Everyone in the ten miles and eight villages knew that Cao Xu was a formidable master, and it was even more unreasonable to stir up three points for no reason.
Cao Xu is very proud of this.
She can even suppress her mother-in-law, let alone her daughters-in-law.
If it's a mother-in-law who doesn't even care about her daughter-in-law, then she might as well hit her head to death.
The second daughter-in-law dared to shake face, and today she had to let the other party know how good she was.
But she didn't expect that her son would tear down her table and beat the dishes to show his face.
She cried immediately.
There are two ways to deal with your own son and with your daughter-in-law.
Summed up by Cao Xu's years of experience, it can't be wrong.
Cao Erlang was originally a dull-tempered person, and when he was unhappy, he kept silent in his heart.
If he doesn't say anything, others naturally don't know whether he is happy or not, and they can just assume that he is a wooden person with no feelings.
Who cares how a wooden man feels
nobody!
But once a dull person gets angry, it is very scary.
At this moment, Cao Erlang is very scary.
The whole family was shocked by him.
He didn't need to say a word, everyone knew that he was on the verge of rage.
Seeing the opportunity, Mr. Cao immediately scolded Mrs. Cao Xu, "Stop howling! Tell the villagers to listen to it, and you won't be ashamed of yourself."
Cao Xu's life is only under the control of her husband, Mr. Cao.
She was aggrieved.
Master Cao turned a blind eye.
Cao Erlang got up and walked out of the hall without saying a word.
When he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just now, I thought he would hit me." Cao Sanlang's daughter-in-law was terrified.
"I thought he would do it too."
…
When Cao Erlang returned to his room, his daughter-in-law Cao Ping was still crying. The kids are sad.
He patted the children's heads and said to his wife, "Why don't we all go to the grasslands. There are scholars, and the children can study. We work hard for a few years, and maybe we can earn a house."
Cao Erlang's daughter-in-law stopped crying and looked up at him, "Have you figured it out? I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after going here for many years."
Cao Erlang nodded heavily, "It doesn't matter if this family comes back or not."
"But will parents agree?"
"If they don't agree, I will propose a separation."
Cao Erlang's daughter-in-law was a little nervous, "I'm afraid we won't be able to share anything at this time."
"I'm going to make you and the child feel wronged. You're right. If you propose a separation at this time, your parents may not give us a penny. Are you still willing to follow me to the grassland?"
Cao Erlang's daughter-in-law bit her lip and weighed her options, "Even if my parents don't give us a penny, I'd still like to go to the grassland. This family really can't stay any longer. I'm worried that one day, my mother-in-law will make her decision on the child's marriage." above.
Her concerns are not unfounded.
With Cao Xu's temperament, he could really do something that would benefit from his granddaughter's marriage.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law also saw through all this, so they tried every means to leave this family, go to the capital, and secretly buy a house to take root.
Cao Erlang looked at her, "Is this the deal?"
His daughter-in-law Cao Ping nodded heavily, "Go to the grassland!"
…
The next day, Cao Erlang found Li Zhu and confirmed the matter of going to the grassland.
Li Zhu told him, "Our boss has secured the loan, recruited manpower, and obtained the map. I'm afraid this meeting has already passed the customs. We have to hurry up. Including your family, there are twenty of us in total. I'm looking for three Rent two carriages with the courier, and three days later we will gather at the city gate and set off, and we will meet the boss when we leave the customs."
Things are banging.
Cao Erlang didn't go to work on time, and he couldn't find anyone.
Master Cao vaguely felt that things were going to get worse.
When Cao Erlang said that his family went to the grassland to seek a living, he knew that his worries had been fulfilled.
Cao Xu cried and made a fuss.
Stop Cao Erlang and don't let him go.
Once he leaves, who will do the heavy work at home? It is equivalent to two less heavy labor.
Cao Erlang's daughter-in-law can also be regarded as a heavy laborer.
And when their family leaves at this time, the villagers will definitely make up gossip about her, saying that she forced her son and wife's family away.
Cao Xu is also a person who needs face. Although in this family, she never asked for face.
Cao Erlang was very determined and insisted on going to the grassland.
He even said that he would take his wife and children with him when he left the house.
Cao Xu was dumbfounded.
"I really gave birth to a stupid son."
In order to fight for family property, there are a lot of brothers who use dog brains.
When there is no separation, everyone is trying to find ways to take advantage of it and make money.
When the family was separated, the brothers turned against each other, and it was quite normal for them to haggle over a needle and a grain of rice.
If Cao Erlang said something like going out of the house, he is not stupid, what is it
Honest people will also fight for family property.
Not fighting for family property, in the eyes of Cao Xu, is no different from a fool.
Master Cao calmed down a lot, "Have you decided? Do you have to go to the grassland to seek a living?"
Cao Erlang hummed, "Think it over!"
"Is the grassland better than home?" Master Cao asked.
Cao Erlang thought for a while and said, "No matter how hard or tiring the grassland is, at least what you earn is your own. Whether you eat meat or drink it all depends on your own ability."
The implication is that even drinking water in the grassland is better than at home.
Master Cao sneered, "Then you go!"
"About the separation?"
"You leave the day after tomorrow, and tomorrow the old man will take care of the separation."
Master Cao no longer stopped Cao Erlang.
Twisted melons are not sweet.
The child is too big to keep it!
Cao Erlang felt relieved, and walked away briskly.
Mrs. Cao Xu got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes and pants, and asked, "The old man really wants to separate him and watch him go to the grassland? Once he leaves, who will do the housework?"
Master Cao glanced at Cao Xu, "If I knew today, why bother. The second child's family did the most, just because they used more firewood to boil water for bathing, and you deducted their food. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, and more What's more, the second child is a boring gourd, and he can't be stopped by ruthlessness. If he wants to leave, let him go. At least this is still his home. If you force him to stop him, this family may really fall apart."
Cao Xu couldn't think so deeply, "I gave birth to him and raised him, so what if I deduct a little food from him."
"Okay! You, hey..."
Master Cao is also indescribably bored.
He more or less guessed what the eldest family was up to in the capital.
Now the second child's family is leaving too.
What's wrong with this world
People these days are so courageous, they dare to go out to ask for a living.
I think when he was young, when he heard that he was going out, everyone was afraid.
Afraid of being cheated, afraid of money being stolen, afraid of being robbed along the way, afraid of...
No matter how difficult it is at home, it is always a hundred times better than being bullied when you go out.
Today, the situation appears to be reversed.
People are no longer afraid to go out, but think that staying at home is useless.
absurd!
Master Cao, with his hands behind his back, went out and inspected his field along the ridge.
He saw the big girls and young daughter-in-laws in the village coming back from the village road laughing and laughing, each carrying a basket in their hands.
Is this from the fair
He also saw people rushing to the early morning market and going out with their burdens.
The car of Sanhe Express was still parked at the intersection of the village road, and it pulled people away.
Pooh!
Master Cao spat.
"Since Sanhe Express's carriages began to go to the countryside, the village is full of strange things all day long. The young people are all thinking about going out, and they are all out of business!"
Mr. Cao thinks that young people don’t work hard in the fields and miss going out all day. The culprit is Sanhe Express.
Even his second child, such an honest person, has to go to the grassland to seek a living.
Sanhe Express is the biggest evil in the world.
Master Cao thought about it all night, but he didn't look down and begged Cao Erlang's family to stay.
The clan elder was called, Li Zheng, and went through the formalities of separation in silence.
Master Cao was quite conscientious, and distributed twenty taels of silver to Cao Erlang's family.
This matter was secretly kept from Cao Xu's family.
"If you go to the grassland, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back for several years. The house and land will be given to you, and you won't need it. Twenty taels, not much, take it. If you can't live outside, come back. Arrive At that time, you can rent and plant the fields at home, or you can work as a helper in the oil factory."
"Thank you dad! I won't be famous and I won't come back."
brat!
Master Cao was very angry and sad.
"You have a good relationship with your elder brother, keep in touch with him. Let him pull you out when you are in trouble."
Cao Erlang was astonished, "Father knows about brother's situation in the capital?"
"Hmph! I have eaten more salt in my life than you have eaten rice. I don't know what the boss and his wife are planning. I don't care about him, but when the family is in trouble, he has to pull Pull out one or two. You write to him, just say so. Just say this is what I mean. Also, ask him to come back to worship his ancestors when he has time! If you are prosperous outside, you must not forget your ancestors!"
Master Cao was furious, and he sounded vicious, but he could feel the slightest concern from it.
Compared with Cao Xu's arrogance and unreasonableness, the family members actually admire Mr. Cao more, and the relationship between father and son is deeper.
Cao Xu's nonsense and obsession seemed to have taken advantage of everything, but he lost everyone's hearts.
Even her own son and daughter are unwilling to get close to her. It annoys me to see her.
If it weren't for the suppression of filial piety, the atmosphere in this family might not be able to stay with anyone.
…
One bright morning, Cao Erlang brought his wife, children, and all his belongings.
The pots and pans were not left behind, and a needle and a foot of cloth had to be carried on the body.
When we arrived in the prairie, even if we wanted to buy a needle, we needed a place to sell it.
With his family and his family, he boarded the carriage of Sanhe Express and left Xihe County slowly.
The distant scenery is a familiar scenery.
Farther and farther away, the more melancholy in my heart.
Just left home, but began to miss home.
What are you thinking
Is there anything else worth remembering at home
Human emotions are really strange.
It is obviously a home that is not worth thinking about, but it is still missed.
His daughter-in-law Cao Ping secretly held his hand, imitating his elder brother and sister-in-law.
She whispered: "We will get better and better, don't think about that family."
"I'll just think about it, it's okay!"
"We have no way out."
Yes, there is no way out.
Let's fight!
－－－－－Off Topic－－－－－
There is an old patient in the family, chronic geriatric disease, and it can only be raised if it cannot be cured. Once you get sick, you have to go to the hospital.
I have been admitted to the hospital three times this year, and each time I have to go back to the hospital just half a month after being discharged.
Tired and flustered!
Even more panic is that it may not survive this year.
Hey…
