Chapter 40 Section 14

On Monday, the landline fee is 79, and the recharge of a single mobile phone is 100; On Tuesday, remit 300 yuan to Wang Chuanlin for living expenses; On Thursday, recharge one hundred and fifty electricity bills; On Saturday, give the old lady one hundred food money; Three days later, Xiuhua had a physical examination in a small private medical clinic, which cost 137 yuan; ... "Do you need to pay for the medical examination? She has a husband!" "It's so far away, more than 100 yuan for mailing is not enough trouble. Besides, my brother has nothing to do at home, and he recruits his younger brother to study. How can he have money? Isn't it only more than 100 yuan?"

"Can Chuanlin's living expenses be reduced? He has parents!" "My mother doesn't have a job, as you can see, how can I have any income? I earn some money, and it is my duty to help my own brother! Three hundred yuan is not enough to live in Wuhan, and you care about that ?” "Why didn't he work-study and take out loans? Didn't you teach yourself when you were in college? I was also trying to make money at that time. Your brother should be raised by you?" "Chuan Lin, you have also seen it. I believe he will work and study without special circumstances. Isn't there a last resort!"

Thinking about that elegant, lazy, and clean aristocratic young man, even Chuanzhi would not believe that he would be able to spare his face to do even a small job of cleaning the cafeteria for his tuition fees. He Lin rummaged in the bedroom drawer, and Chuanzhi's salary card disappeared again.But she also figured it out, take it back, take it back, take it back, take care of his mother, take care of his brother, take care of his sister-in-law, take care of his unborn nephew, but he must also take care of his wife!From now on, she will not invest another penny in this family, and she will carry her salary card with her wherever she can.You kindly consider him, but he generously considers others.For some people, you can't think about them at all. When encountering difficulties, let them make it up on their own, otherwise they won't be able to plan their lives as a whole.

This was the first rain in 2005, and it poured down the streets, and then the bright sun shone on the ground, reflecting dazzling white light on the glass in the room. He Lin came down from upstairs wearing orange leather boots, she said with rare tenderness, "Honey, shall we go to the supermarket?" Chuanzhi glanced at her, "I have no money this month, so save some money." It means that the food and dishes are all ready, and it will be no problem to eat for a while. He Lin blinked her eyes mysteriously, "Come with me, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, why don't we just go shopping and have a look!"

As soon as Chuanzhi stood up, Mrs. Wang leaned over, "Get out? Let me go?" Chuanzhi looks at He Lin.He Lin was very generous, "Go, the supermarket is big, and there are some shopping!" So a group of three came to Carrefour supermarket, this time without a cart, He Lin handed Chuanzhi a shopping basket, first threw a pair of socks into it, then threw a few packets of melon seeds, and then looked at it. The old lady and her son were behind, chattering, and bought some snacks and food; in the clothing section, they saw a pair of black corduroy trousers with flowers on the legs, a sleeveless thin padded jacket, and a woolen top. Hats, etc.Of course the price is ok.After walking around for a while, He Lin looked back and saw that the baskets were all sticking out, she didn't look like a person without money.

The purpose of He Lin's visit is to buy shampoo and conditioner. It just so happens that these two items are on sale, and they are paid separately.She handed over the money without saying a word. Chuanzhi followed He Lin when he walked around to line up to pay.He Lin looked back again, and the old lady was hiding far away.Ha, then she also left directly, flashed the payment note in her hand, and passed, but Chuanzhi was stopped. He Lin didn't look back, and went outside the supermarket laughing fiercely.Wait. Don't mention that the old lady was too depressed during the shopping, she shook her face angrily all the way, as if she was blackmailed by her daughter-in-law.Chuanzhi is also depressed. The credit card he used is now in negative value, and the hole may not be closed even after the salary is paid.But it wasn't as obvious as his mother's performance. Besides, most of the items he bought belonged to his mother, and a small part belonged to him. The one belonging to He Lin was less than fifteen yuan.

The next day He Lin boasted to her sister-in-law in private that the queen mother can choose clothes, and Embroidery laughed happily, "The things are good, but they are a bit expensive. My mother was so distressed that she didn't sleep well last night, and now she is still nagging that she can change them for a while." Truckloads of Chinese cabbage are eaten all winter!" Haha, it was the first time that He Lin felt so comfortable. It was the weekend again, and before her mother-in-law called her son to go to the morning market, He Lin blew on the pillow, "Big pig, let's have dinner at my mother's house today."

Chuanzhi thought about it, he hadn't seen his mother-in-law for a while, nodded in agreement, and immediately added: "Don't rush with your aunt?" "Why are mice afraid of her like cats?" "How can I bear an education once I meet you once?" "Okay, let my parents praise you!" Immediately, the two packed up and went happily. "Honey, do you want to bring something?" "No, just eat with empty hands." "Will it be bad?" "Aren't you in debt now? Save some money. If your mother or sister-in-law uses the money, it's not good if you can't get it out."

Chuanzhi was greatly moved, and smiled hippiely, "You can lend yours to your husband." "Don't push yourself!" He Lin's face turned cold, and she said in her heart: "Dream, don't even think about it!" When his daughter and son-in-law come back to eat and drink, Lao He is always very happy, and he can chat about family affairs and ask questions again.And according to my daughter's opinion, the meal was prepared in advance.Yu Huaming was busy reading emails and answering the phone. Many students wanted to apply to her as a graduate student. There were people from all over the country who asked for directions, and those who wanted to get acquainted. Of course, greetings from acquaintances and colleagues were indispensable.In a humane society, headaches are inevitable every year, and it takes certain skills to refuse without offending or attacking others. He Zhongtian, who has been in property management for many years and is well versed in dealing with people, can always put forward a lot of pertinent opinions.

It was time to eat, the old couple were still whispering in the kitchen, while the young couple sat down on the table unceremoniously and started eating. "Don't wait for your parents?" "I'm starving to death, I'm going back to watch TV after eating! Didn't you see that he was busy?" Chuanzhi thought, "It's fine if you come in the afternoon." He Lin eats.Chuanzhi drank tea and waited until his parents-in-law sat at the dinner table. Chuanzhi is also preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, and wants to enter the Economics Department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Yu Huaming appreciated it very much, he was much better than the children of his friends, and he had to pass the exam to acquaintances to mix their diplomas with gold plating.When it comes to work, the old couple have no doubts in the uncle's ability.Then when it comes to my uncle’s mother accompanying my sister-in-law in Beijing to give birth, Lao He reminded me worriedly: “You have to be careful, family planning is a basic national policy, and the control in cities is stricter and more powerful than in rural areas, especially for civil servants, who have one extra child. You won’t be able to keep your job; those who help your family have more children, once exposed, will seriously affect your future!”

Chuanzhi was a little surprised, "My brother's eldest daughter is over nine years old, such a second child should be legal in the countryside..." He Lin revealed mercilessly: "Where are your eldest brother and daughter! Legal? Why is your sister-in-law still hiding? Let's live a bright and honest life!" "The second child has already been given away..." "Alas," Yu Huaming sighed, "This is such a worldly thing. It's like being a thief by giving birth to your own child." "But if we continue to give birth like this, China's population will explode, and the demographic dividend will be offset by the population disaster. Besides, how many people in rural areas can count on their children, especially their sons, to provide for them!" "Then, wouldn't it be enough to develop a welfare system that covers the entire society, and solve the pension problem at its root? Will there still be so many people who can survive?" He Lin rolled her eyes at her mother, and leaned towards her father's opinion, "There are also cultural and psychological aspects, more children are more blessed! You can't count on the eldest, and there is a second child, I just think the children count on the elder!" After speaking, she looked at it intentionally or not. He glanced at Chuanzhi. Old He Zhengse said: "In the community we serve, there was a Beijing civil servant from the Local Taxation Bureau last year. He was fired for helping his brother-in-law to conceal the superbirth. A colleague told him the secret. He must have offended him. The child was only a month old and was arrested. People stuck at home and got caught up in the current situation. Although I have found a company to work, I am very depressed. The salary and benefits are not the same. Now the couple quarrels and throws things all day because of this. We often go to his house Complaints upstairs and downstairs." Chuanzhi was still taken aback. Although he had heard that family planning was powerful at work, he didn't expect it to be so strict. He lacked confidence at the moment. "My colleagues don't know much, so they usually don't bring them home." "But we have neighbors, we don't know when we will offend someone, and we will expose it, such as the old lady Hu's family, your mother can vigorously shake out the inside scoop of your family! Embroidery also has a big belly Walking around here and there for nearly six months, I can't cover it up. One day your heads talk to you, don't be surprised!" He Lin couldn't help gloating. Chuanzhi became even more restless. Seeing that the time was almost up, He Lin put down her chopsticks and wanted to go home. The reasons were: firstly, her favorite TV series had arrived; secondly, there was an important email to be received. The old He and his wife haven't talked enough, they said they watch TV at home and use He Chong's computer.He Lin ignored her, pulled her husband and left.Chuanzhi also wished he could go home immediately and tell his mother and sister-in-law to stop being so ostentatious and affect his future. At noon that day, Xiuhua was eating at the table, returning two dishes.The mother-in-law was lying in her own bedroom.He Lin opened the door and was hungry. She said that Jinji was squeezed by the bus, so she took the remote control to control the TV and approached the table to eat, when she suddenly yelled: "Sister-in-law, what are you eating? ?! Like pig food!" Picked up a chopstick and spit it out again, "Hydrogen dioxide boiled cabbage, and added a handful of sodium chloride! What about tofu? I didn't even see the hairs of tofu. And this stewed in water Carrots don’t smell like meat at all, so what’s the taste of it!” Embroidery magic pen answered: "Isn't this saving money, just eat enough, I eat a lot." "If you eat too much, you have to have a meaty taste! There are a lot of radishes and cabbage in the storage room prepared for you, right? You are the next generation of the Wang family in your stomach, and you have to go to a prestigious university! What if you don't have enough nutrition... " Chuanzhi also ran over to look at the dishes.Originally from a poor background, Wang Chuanzhi had no opinion on the table full of radishes, cabbage and a few pieces of tofu.But He Lin couldn't stop nagging. "How many pieces of meat are there in the refrigerator? Put some on it. Not only is it delicious, but it's still greasy. Now is not the time to be harsh on yourself!" The embroidered face was troubled, You Qi glanced at Chuanzhi's face embarrassingly, "Her grandma won't let... come back to eat together at night..." He Lin carried forward her style, "Why do we care? You can eat what you should eat. You won't be eating these at noon all these days, right?" Embroidered, "It's okay, it's not bad, it's already bothering you..." He Lin looked at Chuanzhi reproachfully. At this time, the mother-in-law came out of the bedroom, her face was not good-looking, and she seemed to have heard the conversation in the living room. Chuanzhi said, "Mom, why don't you eat?" "Eat it, it's left over from the morning." Oh, it's cheaper than embroidery, and it's worse than living.Chuanzhi was speechless. He Lin poked the embroidery with her arm, "I will cook more for breakfast in the future, you can eat the leftovers too, at least there are slices of fried steamed buns, and the leftovers from the night before are also very tasty..." Chuanzhi simply pulled He Lin upstairs and closed the door, "What are you doing? I'm afraid the world will not be chaotic!" "Why am I afraid that the world will not be chaotic? Tell me clearly!" "In this case, what are you talking about? Isn't it a fire? After all, it's to save us money!" "You give one hundred yuan a week for vegetables, and you go to the supermarket to buy a refrigerator on weekends. I haven't bought much recently. I used to buy more than you every week. What about the money her old man saved? All spent on I have no problem with the embroidered belly. Every woman has to go through the difficult time of pregnancy. I just sympathize with your sister-in-law! The grandson who is pregnant with your mother is still abused by your mother. I dare not say anything, if not It happened by chance today, can you believe this is the truth? That's her grandson!" Chuanzhi was also very impatient, "What can I do? Elderly people don't think twice about things. I'll just tell her in private. You have to talk about it later!" "Are you afraid to say something like this?" "That's my old lady! Does it help if you embarrass her?" He Lin was furious, and stared at him with blinked eyes, "Tell me, do you really think your mother did something wrong in this matter?" Chuanzhi straightened his neck, looked at his wife's stubborn face, and became stubborn himself, "That's right! I just don't think it's a big mistake! It's just a lack of consideration!" He Lin was surprised, "I saw it with my own eyes—why is it so difficult for you to realize that your mother did something wrong?! You are so selectively blind or pretending to turn a blind eye? Do you still have the concept of right and wrong and black and white?! " Chuanzhi suddenly understood, "You've been looking for my mother's fault, blowing the floating soil to find a crack, and you finally found it today, ha ha!" Then he took something out of his pocket and slammed it on the table. "You are hopeless. You don't make any sense when it comes to your mother! Let you realize that your mother is also a human being and can make ordinary mistakes. How much can it hurt your face? Why is she here?" In your heart, you must be superior, greater than ordinary people, and extraordinary!?" He Lin picked up her bag and cast a disgusted look at the man in the room before going out, "There is no cure for a foolish, filial and inferior person. Can be saved!" That's right, looking for cracks by blowing the floating soil is to find the fault of an old woman like the mother-in-law, and to let this fault be presented directly in front of her son in the form of the original ecology. The old Virgin, who has all extrajudicial pardons, drove down from the temple, and rescued a son from kneeling in gratitude forever, allowing him to stand and look at and treat his mother from an equal, objective, and rational perspective.The fact that his mother gave birth to him was not the reason for him to stand and worship under her shadow all his life, and it was not the reason for his wife to also worship together and be caught in a dilemma.Her gratitude to her is limited, conditional, and can arise or disappear. There is no reason for her daughter-in-law to be obedient and filial to her like her son, and to treat her like a living ancestor. First!We are all human, we are all human, can we respect the current family rules: the hostess is the hostess, the guests are the guests, and the guests do as they please!A mother-in-law is a mother-in-law, not a mother!Is it okay to respect the independence and integrity of the son's family and the status of the daughter-in-law as the hostess of a new family? ! His wife ran out again, and Chuanzhi sat down depressed for a while, then went down to boil water with an empty thermos bottle.There was no one in the public space downstairs. When I turned around and entered the kitchen, I caught a glimpse of my mother wiping tears from the open door opposite. He was so annoying. He made the kettle rattle loudly and lit the fire. After hesitating for a moment, I went to my mother's room. The old lady turned sideways to the door, sobbing, extremely sad. "Mom, what are you doing? I didn't say anything about you. I will cook something delicious for lunch and eat with my sister-in-law. Why do you want to eat the leftovers from the previous night? You can't afford to eat!" The old lady wept but did not answer. "Mother, go to the back and find Grandma Hu to visit, or let her talk with you. Don't blame He Lin for this matter. He Lin speaks straight and can't hold back..." The old mother sighed and said softly, "Chuanzhi, your mother didn't eat too much lard and was guilty of conscience, do you think I can not love my grandson? 1. All five members of this family eat your food Salary, even though you earn that money, you can’t live with so many mouths to eat yourself together! We don’t earn money, and we can’t help you. You can save two by moving your belly! I know now that Beijing is not easy to mess with, and a penny is hard to kill a hero. If you can save one, you can save one. Second, our family has three meals a day. I don’t eat well, there are vegetables and meat, and I cook a meal of fish twice in three days. If I eat so much oil, how can something go wrong if I eat a meal of tofu and stewed cabbage at noon? I think back when I was pregnant with your brothers, I ate it The best thing is stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage. Usually it is pickled cabbage buns, or stir-fried cabbage gangzi. There is no oil and gas. Which of your brothers is stupid?" Then he said to himself, "The year is different, and the daughter-in-law has I won the status and won the world, and I can do whatever I say. I can’t do it anymore. I can’t keep up with the hot ones when I’m young. When I’m young, I’m angry with my mother-in-law. Now, be quiet yourself, and go to a place where there is no one and feel uncomfortable!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh and lowered his eyes. Chuanzhi frowned, feeling helpless, "Mother, why did you and He Lin..." "Son, I don't blame He Lin. After all, she is a daughter-in-law, not a daughter-in-law. A daughter-in-law doesn't care about her mother-in-law. When she is happy, she calls you mom, and when she is unhappy, she glances at you--son, look at others. I don’t blame anyone, I just blame myself for my bad life, my heart is higher than the sky, my life is thinner than paper, I do this and that by myself, I hurt this and that, I care about this and that, there is a It’s useless! My son is weak, if he doesn’t compete with you, if he can’t talk to you, just suffer! You can’t blame your daughter-in-law or your son, blame me for being blind!” There was another long sigh, incomparably Desperate and desolate. Chuanzhi finally couldn't take it anymore, "Mother, think whatever you want, your son and I are also very tired, and I have to look at the face of the boss everywhere to earn the small money in the work unit, especially in this kind of scheming state work unit, how many people are there these days? A person who is not bullying and xenophobic? Do you think it is so easy for me to sit in the office, chat, drink tea and read the newspaper every day? There is so much pressure outside, and it’s like this when I go home, alas—” Not a long sigh, but a short puff of breath .
