Xu Jiansheng stared blankly at his hands, as if he couldn't believe that he had pushed his mother to the ground, but the old lady was on the ground screaming and crying, so he had to admit this fact.
"Oh, I said big brother, why are you so cruel, you actually did something to mom."
Before Xu Jiansheng could help the old lady, Zhang Cuiqin also ran over howling. While reaching out to help the old lady, he yelled at Xu Jiansheng, "My mother, how can there be such a heartless person, the son beats his mother, he will be struck by lightning."
The old lady was helped to get up from the ground, trembling with anger and crying.
The other onlookers did not expect such a thing to happen. Who is Mrs. Xu? She is the number one member of the Xu family. Regardless of Xu Jiansheng's splendid scenery outside, he still has to listen to the old lady at home. Now that I got it, I actually pushed the old lady to the ground.
"Jiansheng, you are right, no matter what you do, you can't do anything to the old man." Some people couldn't stand it anymore and began to blame Xu Jiansheng.
Although Mrs. Xu is not very likable, she is an old man after all, and she is also Xu Jiansheng's biological mother. Seeing this situation, the elders in the village feel sympathetic to each other, and worry that they will be attacked by their children in the future, so they will speak out when they see this.
"Yeah Jiansheng, it's your mother after all, how can you do it, it's too unfilial. Your mother worked so hard when she gave birth to you."
"I didn't do anything, I'm not..." Facing the scolding of the old man in the village, Xu Jiansheng felt quite wronged. He really didn't make a move just now, but subconsciously blocked it. But now in everyone's eyes, he has become an unfilial son who did something to his mother.
Someone backed her up, and Old Madam Xu yelled even louder, "I am a sinner, raised such an unfilial son, beat me, what's the point of my life, I might as well die."
Xu Jiansheng was sweating profusely.
At first, Xu Nannan watched coldly from the sidelines, watching them dog-eat-dog, but the more he watched, the more something went wrong. It doesn't seem to be good for the old lady to make such a big fuss. This old lady has the virtue of not talking about it when she sees no benefit. It is not good for her. What is she doing
This is clearly the first move to be the strongest, the first to win the fight.
This old lady hasn't read much, and she has a lot of eyes.
Xu Nannan felt that she might be thinking too much, but she didn't dare to gamble, she never dared to underestimate the little old lady of the Xu family.
"Grandma, you really wronged my dad. My dad was going to support you just now, but you fell down by yourself. You can't just wrong my dad. Why did my dad treat you all these years? Everyone in the village They all have eyes to see. Because of my grandma's words, my dad didn't even care about my daughter Xiaoman and me. Isn't it all because of filial piety to you? How could my dad fight against you? It was you who didn't stand firm just now. "
Xu Nannan refuted Mrs. Xu, and said to everyone, "You all saw it, but my dad stretched out his hand to stop it. My breast fell down by itself. To be fair, everyone, I can't let my dad suffer." Wrong."
The people in the village didn't have a firm stand. Hearing what Xu Nannan said, they also felt that it was the case. Xu Jiansheng is usually known as a filial son. In order to be filial to his parents, he doesn't even care about his own daughters. How could such a person do anything.
Another young man said, "Ma'am, I don't think Jiansheng did it on purpose, so don't be angry."
"Yeah, Jiansheng is usually very filial, and he didn't do it on purpose just now. If you cry like this, how will he behave in the future."
Xu Nannan also said, "Yeah, grandma, if you cry like this, won't my dad's spine be poked in the future? You love my dad the most, so you shouldn't have the heart to make it difficult for him to be a man in the future."
Hearing his daughter's protection, Xu Jiansheng's heart felt warm, and the grievance and helplessness of being wronged just now gradually recovered, "Mom, I really didn't mean it. If you are angry, hit me. Don't get mad."
Hearing Xu Jiansheng's words, Xu Nannan smacked his tongue secretly. This old lady didn't know how to educate her children before, but the son she taught was so filial.
Once the wind direction of the people around changed, the old lady couldn't continue to play this scene, and then looked at Xu Nannan who was doing bad things, her face suddenly distorted, "You damn girl, it's your trouble, and you dare to talk too much on the sidelines .I will kill you today."
Xu Nannan turned quickly and hid behind Xu Jiansheng again.
Xu Jiansheng felt that his daughter was beaten for speaking up for him, and he was ashamed to let her be beaten by the old lady, so he had to stand in front. This time he didn't dare to do anything again, so he just let the old lady beat him.
The old lady slapped Xu Jiansheng directly on the body several times in a row, but she didn't even touch Xu Nannan's hair, and she gasped in anger.
Liu Dahong couldn't stand it any longer, and said with her waist in her hand, "I said it's over. If you've had enough trouble, go home quickly. Now that Nannan and the others are back, it doesn't matter what happened to our family. If If we continue to make trouble, we will go to the township government."
Sister Xu Nannan didn't come back just now, she didn't have the confidence, but now that everyone has come back, what is she afraid of. Have you issued a letter of introduction soon? This is not a crime.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was so angry that she wanted to grit her teeth. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of this incident to make a fuss, to show Xu Gensheng how powerful she is, and to let the villagers know that she is not easy to mess with. Before the winner was decided, Jiansheng came back with his two children. It doesn't make any sense to keep making trouble.
The old lady was not reconciled, and after being pushed down by Xu Jiansheng just now, she didn't get the result she wanted, so she couldn't hold back her breath.
After leaving like this, what face will she have in the future
"Mom, we can't let it go like this, we need their family to compensate anyway." Zhang Cuiqin said relentlessly.
On the other hand, Liu Qiao, who had been silent by the side, supported the old lady and said, "Mom, you see that the elder brother has also brought Er Ya and Si Ya back, isn't it necessary to discuss the important matter of Er Ya? Later, elder brother will go back to work." , It’s not good to delay the time. Let’s go back to the serious business. Let’s talk about the matter of Captain Xu’s family later.”
Xu Nannan thought to himself, no wonder the old lady likes the third daughter-in-law. Seeing how clever she is, the old lady asked for steps, so she immediately sent one over.
Sure enough, the old lady snorted, "If the third daughter-in-law hadn't said good things for you, I wouldn't forget about it today." Then she glared at Xu Jiansheng and said, "If you don't take the two girls home, I have to teach you a lesson. Teach them a lesson!"
After speaking, he straightened his back and let the two daughter-in-laws support him to go home together, looking exactly like an ancient old lady.
The elders in the village looked at Mrs. Xu enviously. I don't know how Mrs. Xu taught her son and daughter-in-law, all of them are so obedient.
As soon as the Xu family left, the bustle was gone, and everyone else dispersed one after another. Xu Gensheng said to Liu Dahong with a look of fear, "Daughter-in-law, let's leave her family affairs alone from now on, this mess is quite embarrassing."
Liu Dahong snorted coldly, "I still don't believe it, so I just let it go." He reached out and nodded Xu Gensheng's head, "You're still the team leader, so there's nothing to be afraid of, we're not breaking the law. , You didn't do this for nothing, how much Nannan helped our family, you still have the nerve to say this, I'm ashamed for you."
She, Liu Dahong, has never been afraid of anyone in her life. The more troublesome the old lady is, the more she will meddle in this business!
Mrs. Xu didn't know that she was self-defeating this time. Not only did she fail to frighten Xu Gensheng, but she also made Liu Dahong confront her. You know, I'm afraid she will spit out another mouthful of old blood.
At this moment, she was sitting in the main room, with a cold face, looking at Xu Jiansheng and his daughter who were sitting next to him.
Old man Xu sat on the side and rolled the shredded tobacco, not intending to get involved in this matter at all.
The old lady didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak. Zhang Cuiqin wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xu Jianhai, "Mom didn't speak, why are you meddling?"
Zhang Cuiqin pursed her lips and looked at Xu Nannan unwillingly. Forget it, this girl is going to get married anyway, so she won't be out of sight, out of mind.
Just as Zhang Cuiqin thought, the old lady was also thinking about this matter. After brewing her emotions, she felt that it was almost done, and coughed heavily.
Liu Qiao hurriedly poured a glass of boiled water.
The old lady Xu took a sip and looked at Xu Jiansheng, "I won't bother with you about today's matter, who made you my son. But you can't let her matter about this girl anymore. She ran out secretly with Siya alone, and didn't think about how worried the adults in the family were, it was really lawless. I must treat her well." The tone of the last few words was gnashing of teeth.
Xu Xiaoman shrank his neck and held Xu Nannan's hand tightly.
Xu Nannan patted her hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Grandma, I was indeed wrong about this matter, I shouldn't have left without telling my family, but I'm also afraid. Grandma, you want to send me away, But I can't bear to go home, so I can only go to my parents."
The old lady wanted to take the opportunity to attack, but she just didn't let her have the opportunity to attack. "Grandma, you see that I've admitted my mistake, so don't be angry. If you get angry, my dad will be worried." As he spoke, he blinked proudly at Mrs. Xu.
The old lady's heart was blocked all of a sudden, "You damn girl!"
"Mom, Nan Nan has admitted his mistakes, so don't be angry when you are old." Xu Jiansheng couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly.
No matter what, the daughter admitted her mistake, and it would be too much to criticize the child.
Moreover, he was very touched by Nan Nan's protection of him just now. At that time there were so many people, no one spoke for him, only Nan Nan spoke up.
"She's not admitting her mistake sincerely, she's trying to annoy me on purpose!" Mrs. Xu said viciously, beating the ground hard.
Xu Jiansheng frowned, feeling that the old lady was a little bit reluctant. Although filial, as a man, who has no temper. He saw this matter today. The old lady really felt a little deliberately targeted towards Nan Nan.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiansheng felt even more uncomfortable. Putting his daughter up at home means that he trusts his family members and thinks that they will treat his daughter well. But now it seems that this is not the case.
"Mom, Nannan went to the city this time because she didn't want to get married. That's another reason. Let's forget about it. She brought Xiaoman into the city and suffered a lot along the way, so don't worry about it." blamed her."
This was the first time that Xu Jiansheng defended Xu Nannan so firmly. Not only the old lady, but even the two brothers of the Xu family were a little surprised. You know, the eldest brother never refuted what the old lady said before. Because he is the eldest son, it is reasonable for him to take care of the elderly, but he went to join the army and lived in the city, so he owed the old man himself.
Old Madam Xu's complexion also changed several times.
Zhang Cuiqin finally couldn't hold back and said, "Brother, it's for her own good that Mom asked Er Ya to marry someone. What a wonderful family, ordinary people can't find it. Mom is taking care of her. She blamed Mom for secretly marrying her." Running to the city to sue, can this make people not angry?"
"It's so good, why don't you let Sister Honghong get married, she's older than me." Xu Nannan interjected.
Xu Jiansheng also nodded, "Honghong is older than Nannan. She is still studying, and Nannan is not in a hurry. Mom, I know life is hard at home. We will save some in the city and bring back more."
Hearing that Xu Nannan was going to compete with his daughter Xu Hong, Zhang Cuiqin subconsciously wanted to say, you deserve it too? But looking at Xu Jiansheng next to her, she didn't dare. But after hearing what Xu Jiansheng said later, he became anxious. They save money in the city, isn't it just to save money for her son and daughter. For such a girl, why? !
"Mom, look at why the elder brother is always protecting Erya." Zhang Cuiqin pouted and looked at Mrs. Xu.
"She is my daughter, why can't I protect her?" Xu Jiansheng said with a straight face. Zhang Cuiqin's repeated actions made him a little angry. Why didn't I think this sister-in-law was a troublemaker before, and she had things to do everywhere.
Being scolded by Xu Jiansheng like this, Zhang Cuiqin's heart tightened and she dared not speak.
"I came back today because of Nannan's matter. Nannan is still young, and Li Jing and I decided to let her stay at home for two more years before we can talk about it. The mine also knew about it, and Nannan was asked every day I went to the mine to report for a month, worried that we secretly married Nan Nan. If Nan Nan is really married, the mine will report to the police, saying that we are practicing feudalism.”
Xu Jiansheng's anger was completely stirred up, and he became more determined about Xu Nannan's not marrying. Before, he also thought it was for the good of his daughter, and it would be good to find a good husband's family. But now he feels more and more that this is not the case. This sister-in-law was obviously provocative. When she was at Xu Gensheng's house, she yelled at him to beat the old lady. Now that Nan Nan is in such a hurry to get married, it doesn't look like a good thing.
After all, he was a soldier and has seen the world outside, so his brain is naturally not stupid. In the past, I was too lazy to care about these trivial matters of family length, and whatever the family said, it was what it was. Now that I am willing to spend my time looking at it, I can naturally see something.
Xu Nannan was not too surprised by Xu Jiansheng's change. She even took it for granted. Although she didn't have much contact with Xu Jiansheng, according to the original owner's memory and the conclusions drawn from these few contacts, Xu Jiansheng's temperament is most similar to that of old man Xu, and it has nothing to do with him. If you are confused, when you get involved with him, you will become a sensible person.
It should be said that Xu Jiansheng's current performance is as proud as the old lady's "slander" of him before. In Xu Gensheng's house before, Xu Jiansheng was criticized by everyone, and he had tasted the power of his family, so naturally he would not trust his family wholeheartedly like before.
The old lady is stealing chickens without losing money.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect her son to be so stubborn this time. She had been worried that her soft-eared son would be persuaded by Erya and come back to stop it, so she made a fuss and made her son feel guilty. It's hard to refute her decision later.
Who knew that his son was so stubborn this time.
She gritted her teeth, "Who are you scaring? The factory still takes care of our family's affairs? She is a village girl, and those people in the mine have nothing to do."
"Mom, it's true. I've guaranteed the mine. If people know that we married Nannan, I won't be able to keep my job. Maybe I'll send it to the Public Security Bureau." Xu Jiansheng said seriously.
"What, you can't keep your job?" Old man Xu finally spoke, almost losing his grip on his bong.
Xu Jiansheng nodded, "Yes, this is what the director of the Women's Federation came home to say."
Xu Nannan said, "That's right, Grandpa, Director Zhu asked me to visit her every month, for fear that I would be sent back and sold."
"It's ugly whether it's for sale or not." Grandpa Xu frowned. The wrinkles on his forehead were wrinkled together, and the furrows were distinct. He smashed it and took a puff of cigarette, "Since this matter is like this, forget it. Anyway, Nan Nan is still young."
He doesn't care about other things, but his son's future is his face. If the boss also ran back to work in the field, what hope did their old Xu family have.
There's no need to make a fuss over a girl's affairs and cause the boss to lose her future.
The old lady Xu said unwillingly, "I don't believe that the mine management is so busy."
"If you don't believe me, what if people really take care of it?" Grandpa Xu irritatedly tapped the table with his bong. The tone is also a little heavier than before. "The limelight has been intense for the past two years, and it's not like you don't know it. You've been thinking about messy things all day long."
When old man Xu said this, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth bitterly, "Then stay at home for two years. I don't really want her to marry, but I want her to go to someone else's house to live a good life for a few years." , she doesn't appreciate it, don't blame me as a grandma in the future."
Xu Nannan smiled slightly, "Grandma, I don't blame you, I remember you. I will remember it forever!" Remembering how bad your dead wife is, I will write a book and biography for your old man in the future, so as to alert future generations.
Xu Jiansheng also laughed, and couldn't help but reached out and touched Xu Nannan's head, "That's good, you have to listen to your adults at home in the future, and you can't mess around anymore."
Looking at this harmonious picture of father and daughter, Mrs. Xu gritted her silver teeth. The complexions of Zhang Cuiqin and Liu Qiao next to her were not very good either. But Liu Qiao just smiled for a moment, "Brother hasn't eaten yet, why don't you go make something to eat?"
Mrs. Xu kept silent.
Grandpa Xu waved his hand, "Go and get something to eat, it's already noon, you must be hungry."
Under Xu Jiansheng's tough attitude and Grandpa Xu's opinion, the matter calmed down so quickly that even the old lady found it difficult to accept.
Before Liu Qiao could cook, the old lady entered the room sullenly. Grandpa Xu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, stood up with the bong in hand, and followed into the room.
Xu Jiansheng looked at his parents and sighed in his heart, feeling a little guilty.
During the meal, Xu Jiansheng absent-mindedly ate with the two children. From time to time, the eyes looked towards the old lady's room.
Just when Xu Nannan thought that Mrs. Xu was going to have a cold war with Xu Jiansheng this time, Mrs. Xu came out with red eyes.
Grandpa Xu followed behind, sighing from time to time.
The old lady came directly to sit at the table, unexpectedly did not make a fuss.
Xu Jiansheng's heart also softened, "Mom, I'm unfilial and made your old man feel uncomfortable."
The old lady Xu waved her hand, "Don't mention this matter, it's all over. Anyway, I'm doing it for Erya's own good. If she doesn't like it, let it go. I just remembered what happened when you were a child, and I feel a little uncomfortable. You were more obedient when you were young. Ah, help me take care of my two younger brothers. At that time, I thought you would be a promising child in the future. Now that you are a promising kid, you can't help yourself." After she finished speaking, she wiped away her tears.
Xu Nannan watched from the sidelines, so surprised that he forgot to eat.
Oh my god, what did the old man and the old lady say in the room? Could it be that the old lady was also passed through? She was making a fuss just now, but now she looks kind. Even if she wasn't Xu Jiansheng, she knew that these words were right to directly poke Xu Jiansheng's heart.
This old man and old lady are not simple.
After a meal, Xu Jiansheng and the old lady had already recalled bitterness and sweetness several times, and the old lady's eyes were swollen. The guilt on Xu Jiansheng's face grew more and more.
Fortunately for Xu Nannan, the old lady didn't mention the matter of getting her married again, otherwise she was really worried that Xu Jiansheng, who was subdued by the old lady at this time, would turn against him again.
Fortunately, Xu Jiansheng had no chance to turn his back on him. After dinner, he had to hurry back to the city. It's just that before leaving, all the money on her body was handed over to the old lady, and she also told sister Xu Nannan to listen to the old lady's words and stop making the old man sad.
Seeing Xu Jiansheng leave, Xu Nannan twitched the corners of his mouth. Looking back at the gloomy expression on the old lady's face, she decided to take Xu Xiaoman to the farm on the mountain. Otherwise you will suffer from indigestion.
In fact, she has only been away from the village for two days, but she feels as if she has been away from the farm for a long time. When she saw He Qiusheng, she took the initiative to say hello.
He Qiusheng put down the pig manure on his shoulders, looked at her and said, "Come back from the city?"
"Well, I just came back." Xu Nannan smiled. Mrs. Xu has been making trouble in the village for two days, and it is estimated that the whole village knows that she has gone to the city, and it is not surprising that He Qiusheng knows.
He Qiusheng smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come back, the city is so nice, everyone wants to go to the city."
Xu Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Uncle, the city is doing well, it's bigger than the town."
Xu Nannan sighed, "I don't want to come back from the city either, but there's nothing I can do. We're not registered in the city, so we can't stay there."
He Qiusheng shook his head with a smile, didn't say anything more, and went down the mountain again carrying the burden.
Xu Nannan looked at his back and became more and more curious. No matter how He Qiusheng looked at it, he didn't look like an ordinary villager. What was he like before
