Chapter 6 Chapter Six
The days passed peacefully like this.But life doesn't let the days be peaceful. One day, Ma Xuewu's parents suddenly came from their hometown.Ma Xuewu's parents are middle school teachers and have been living in western Hubei.Ma Xuewu thought they had retired and came out to play, very happy.As a result, my parents said that they did not come to play, but to live here with Ma Xuewu.It was Ma Xuewu's cousin who sent them over.It is said that the square was built in the county town and their old house was demolished, and the compensation money was not enough to buy a new house.The cousin suggested that they simply live in their son's house.The two old people have worked hard all their lives, so it is better to use this money to eat, drink and have fun, so that they can enjoy themselves in their old age.The old couple heard what their nephew said was reasonable, and they didn't even say hello to Ma Xuewu. They packed their luggage, sold their belongings, and came here in a car.Ma Xuewu's father said, Xuewu, don't worry, we will give you living expenses every month.Ma Xuewu's mother said, "Oh, my son said that living expenses are not living expenses, outsiders will laugh their teeth out when they hear it."
At this point, Ma Xuewu was helpless. When Li Baoli got home from get off work, her scalp felt numb when she saw the people in the room.Taking a closer look, Ma Xuewu has vacated Xiaobao's room for his parents to live in.Li Baoli rushed to her forehead in a fit of anger.Li Baoli thought, why don't you ask me too?Li Baoli walked into her bedroom with a few strides, and called out, Ma Xuewu, come here! Ma Xuewu knew that this matter was noisy, and he was upset, but he could only face it.Ma Xuewu entered the bedroom and closed the door smoothly.Li Baoli said, what do you mean?Why do you keep your parents here without making a sound?I'm still not a person?Ma Xuewu said, how did I know they would come?They came here by themselves, maybe I will let them go back?Li Baoli said, it's hard to live a quiet life, but you want to make a fuss?A wild one was just driven away, and now two old ones have come.Do you still let me live?Ma Xuewu said, just live as usual.Li Baoli said, with these two rooms, how can they live in the same way?How does Xiaobao live?Ma Xuewu said, anyway, my parents have come.They are only my son, and they should live here.Let Xiaobao live in our room first.Li Baoli said, Xiaobao is already in the fourth grade, and his studies are getting tighter and tighter, what should he do if it affects him?How long will your parents live?Ma Xuewu swallowed his saliva and said that they wanted to live here forever.All the houses in their hometown were demolished, and they had nowhere to go.When Li Baoli heard it, she screamed, you are crazy!You act like I don't know, we have a new house, and everyone in your house is jealous.Such a squeeze method is not as good as living in an old house.Ma Xuewu said, that's up to you.After finishing speaking, Ma Xuewu slammed the door and walked out. When I went out, I saw two old people sitting on the sofa with Xiaobao in their arms, without saying a word, and the three faces looked at him nervously and fearfully, as if they were waiting to be sentenced.Ma Xuewu was heartbroken immediately.Ma Xuewu thought for a while, and said, Dad, Mom, you will live here, she is just like this, let her go.I call the shots here.Ma Xuewu's mother immediately calmed down, and said, of course, this place should be decided by our Ma family. In fact, what else can Li Baoli do besides yelling?Three people with two bedrooms and one living room can live there, plus the elderly, it is crowded no matter what.Li Baoli sat on the bed and thought about it, thinking about getting angry, and thinking about it when she was angry.These are Ma Xuewu's parents, her father-in-law and mother-in-law. It is only natural for a son and daughter-in-law to keep them to live and support them.They have nowhere to go, you can't drive them away; they need to eat and drink, you have to do it; they are old and incapable, you have to take care of them.You are a daughter-in-law, you married their son, this is your life. Li Baoli is a person who can think about it, figure it out, sigh, and admit it. Li Baoli came out with the quilt in her arms, and turned to Xiaobao's room.Ma Xuewu didn't know what she was going to do, so he followed her.Li Baoli said unhappily, I will not kill your parents!The quilt at home is the softest, for the elderly.Only then did Ma Xuewu heave a sigh of relief, thinking that no matter how ruthless Li Baoli is, she is still a kind person. The reason is simple, and it is easy to figure it out.Life is complicated, but it is not easy to tolerate it. Three months felt like thirty long years.Li Baoli didn't understand how the days passed so slowly when the clock on the wall kept running as usual.In the evening, the parents-in-law want to watch anti-corruption dramas, but Li Baoli wants to watch Korean dramas.There is only one TV at home, so Li Baoli had to let the two old people.Ma Xuewu watched TV with his parents and occasionally chatted a few gossips.At this time, Li Baoli could only lie in the bedroom, counting the stars outside the window, and the annoyance in her heart was really piercing.Li Baoli is a person who has almost no entertainment life.No dancing, singing or playing cards.When I got home from get off work, I was busy cooking, washing the dishes and wiping the table after eating, washing and drying the clothes after washing the dishes.She was busy until eight or nine in the evening before she could rest and watch her favorite Korean dramas.With the women in Korean dramas crying and laughing, and being obsessed with handsome Korean men, one day's life feels full.Korean dramas are like a rag, responsible for erasing her tiredness of the day every night, allowing her to relax and dream, so that she can start tomorrow again.Now her dishcloth is gone, and her fatigue has piled up layer by layer. Li Baoli felt that such a day was very tiring. After work that day, Li Baoli had just walked to the door when she met her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and saw Li Baoli's flustered faces.Li Baoli said, what's the matter?The father-in-law was silent, and the mother-in-law murmured, "The water stopped today, so I went out with your father-in-law for a walk."One of the water pipes was left open and it turned out... Li Baoli exploded when she heard it.She knew what was in store for her family.Li Baoli rushed into the elevator in three steps and two steps, because the elevator stopped on every floor, Li Baoli was so angry that she almost quarreled with the female worker who drove the elevator.After finally getting home, Li Baoli's head swelled the moment she pushed the door open.The house has become a flood country, the floor is completely soaked in water, cotton shoes and leather shoes are floating on the water here and there.In order to clear the cabinets for the parents-in-law to put clothes in, Xiaobao's clothes were temporarily packed in cardboard boxes and placed on the floor. All the new clothes were stained and completely disfigured. Li Baoli wanted to cry but had no tears.She sat on the sofa limply and didn't want to clean it up.Li Baoli said to herself, what kind of life is this?Half an hour later, the parents-in-law came back.The mother-in-law took out 1,000 yuan and handed it to Li Baoli, saying that I made the mistake, and I just pay you the money. Originally, Li Baoli was full of anger, but she never thought of getting mad at her mother-in-law.When the mother-in-law said this, Li Baoli's anger suddenly burst out.Li Baoli said, you speak lightly, you lose money.What do you pay for this thousand dollars?How much is the floor?How much are the shoes?How much is Xiaobao's clothes?How much will it cost me to renovate my house?If you have money, buy a new house and live in it yourself?What are you doing in my house? When the father-in-law saw that Li Baoli spoke so harshly, he also lost his temper.Say you think you bought this house?This is my son's house, and we are more entitled to live here than you.Li Baoli said, joke!Did you make a mistake?This house is the joint property of husband and wife.Your son is committing adultery with wild women outside. If I go to court to divorce him, he will have to leave in minutes.No one in this house is eligible except me and Xiaobao.The mother-in-law said anxiously, what are you talking about?Don't slander my son!Li Baoli said, go to the factory and ask.Why don't you let him be the director of the factory office?Your son was humiliated in the factory!Based on this matter alone, if I don't want him, he has to get away from me. Ma Xuewu's parents immediately changed their expressions and dared not say a word.Li Baoli was somewhat proud, thinking that I can't even control you two old guys?After thinking about it, let me tell you the truth, if you want me not to dump your son, if you want your son and grandson to live a good life, you'd better go far away, go back to your hometown and rent a house, and I can give you some money. My life is in a state of chaos, and it is difficult for us to live on. After Li Baoli finished speaking, she began to tidy up the house.She found the mop, mopped the room twice, and took a few dry towels, trying to suck out the water that had seeped into the floor.The new house has only been lived in for half a year, and it is already not looking good. Li Baoli cursed as she did it, as if she let out a bad breath after she cursed.After accumulating bad breath for three months, I really have to scold for a while.Just like this, I worked and scolded, and I was busy for an hour, but I didn't go to the field.Ma Xuewu's parents listened silently at first, and then left quietly. When Ma Xuewu came home from get off work, he saw Li Baoli kneeling on the ground absorbing water for the floor. The house was in a mess. He didn't understand why, so he asked, what happened?Li Baoli said unhappily, you ask your parents!It's all a good thing they did!Ma Xuewu looked in the two rooms, but he didn't see his parents. Where are my parents?Li Baoli said, I know where they died?Did you see that?The floor is soaked and deformed!Ma Xuewu said, did you scold them?Li Baoli said, I scolded them for beating ghosts, and I scolded their son.Ma Xuewu said, why are they not in the house?Li Baoli said, the legs are on them, they want to go out, I can control it?They didn't report to me. Ma Xuewu turned around and left.Xiao Bao, who had just returned home from school, followed.Xiaobao said, Dad, I also want to find my grandparents.Ma Xuewu said, Xiaobao is good, and dad will come back soon.Li Baoli walked over and grabbed Xiao Bao, saying come back!It's none of your business if he finds his parents!Xiaobao gave Li Baoli a hard look, and said loudly, I like my grandparents, and I want to find them.Li Baoli was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him.Li Baoli said, you little bastard still talk to me?Little Treasure whimpered and went back to the room. Ma Xuewu looked for his parents aimlessly in Hankou like a chicken without a head.When it got dark, the street lamps all over the street were lit instantly, and there were bright lights everywhere, only Ma Xuewu's heart sank deeply into the dark night.All the light in this world is like night in his eyes. When Ma Xuewu found his parents at the coach station, it was already 11:30 in the evening.The old-looking parents leaned on each other and sat on the chairs in the waiting room to take a nap.Ma Xuewu's heart suddenly burst into thousands of sorrows and sorrows.Tears are also like a reservoir opening, can't stop, rushing out.Ma Xuewu had never shed tears like this in his life.
