Chapter 55 It's Hard To Be A Woman

Hearing this, Ji Kang gave a wry smile, and then sighed.

"Mother, you think too much about their family. Why didn't you come to Ji's house? My son went shopping that day and was about to go to his wife's house. He happened to bump into them, so he stopped them outside and didn't let them come over."

"What? What are they doing here? Did they do anything to you?"

Mrs. Luo stopped making dumplings and looked at Ji Kang nervously.

"No, they heard that my legs are recovering now, and they want to persuade their son to let me go back to that house, and by the way, give them some money."

"You gave it?"

"No, I said that I eat and drink for free in this house. I still need to support my legs and can't do heavy work. If they want me to go home, they will first pay back the money from the contract of sale and the money from the medical treatment. I paid back the meal money for more than half a year."

"They answered?"

"The ten taels of silver that I sold me is not much left. The family is poor, and there is no money to redeem me. After scolding me a few times, I turned around and left."

Old lady Luo patted her chest, let out a long breath, and felt very angry at the same time.

"It's really shameless. Mother thought that their surname is not Li, and they are not as thick-skinned as the people of Li Village. Why are they like them?"

"Mom, don't be angry, I'm much better than Xi'er, they didn't hit me much except making me work and oppressing me, but Xi'er just, oh~"

"In this world, it's really hard to be a woman. From birth, family members don't like to see her. Once they hear that it's a girl's film, some people just throw it into the pool and drown.
When I grow up, I start working. When I reach the age of marriage, it is just a commodity that is sold by the family for money. If it is better, I have to support my mother’s family.
Otherwise, it is said that you are not filial, and you will not be welcomed when you come to your in-laws. No one will feel sorry for you if you have a good husband.
If not, I would go to work in the field without being allowed to do confinement, and face being divorced anytime and anywhere, ah, we women, it’s not easy to live.”

Xi'er turned her head and glanced at the sad old lady Luo, "Mother, these things do happen, but they are divided into people. No kind person is willing to throw away his own flesh and blood. Only those vicious people can do such a thing. We Women are weak, but being weak doesn't mean we don't do anything, we can create happiness for ourselves through our hardworking hands."

"That's the way it is said, but people in this world still look down on women after all."

"It's their business to look down on them, we have to look down on ourselves, we live for ourselves, we just live well"

"You haven't seen some villages where women are framed and strangled, but the unlucky ones are always women"

"Resist if you have the ability, even if you fight to the death, this life will not be in vain, but let them obey the death penalty, such a death is too worthless"

Ji Kang looked at Xi'er with sparkling eyes, his daughter-in-law is so special, if a woman hears this, she must be excited, it is so inspiring to a woman!

At night, the family gathers around the kang table, with the warm kang under their bodies, and the fragrant New Year's Eve dinner on the table.

The cooked dumplings are also placed on top. This is the first time that the family gathers together to celebrate the New Year. Mrs. Luo is no longer alone, and her children will accompany her every year for the New Year.

"Come on, mother, brother, let's have a drink and wish you a happy new year, and our family will make a lot of money."

"I wish our family a prosperous life"

"I wish Kanger will win Tongsheng next year"

"cheers"

Mrs. Luo handed the prepared red envelopes to the two of them, "Come on, this is the lucky money for you."

"Ah, don't you give it to me tomorrow after paying New Year's greetings?"

"Our custom here is to give lucky money to unmarried men and women on the first day of the new year. You are considered husband and wife, so naturally you will give it tomorrow."

"Yeah, so I have prepared a gift for you too, wait a minute, I'll go get it now"

Ji Kang also raised his buttocks and got off the kang, "Mother, I have prepared one for you too."

The two hurried back to the house, trotted back, and handed both hands to Granny Luo, which moved Granny Luo.

"Thank you my son, thank you my daughter"

"Hee hee, open it and see if you like it?"

Xi'er's gift box contained a pair of emerald green jadeite bracelets, which looked very good at first glance. Ji Kang bought a pair of emerald green jadeite earrings, and the gifts from the two matched so well.

"The gift you gave is really good. Mom likes it very much, but it's just a waste of money again. This jade looks good at first glance. It's very expensive."

"Mother likes it, come and let me bring it for you"

In the evening of thirty children, the whole family was having a warm day. The Ma family in Li Village was also very lively. The whole family gathered around the kang table, drinking and chatting.

"Thanks to that girl Xi'er, our family has earned a lot of money this year. I plan to buy a house and land in Yangliu Village after the new year. Do you have any opinions?"

"No, dad is in charge"

"Well, I can't stay in Li Village any longer. The reputation of the village is stinky, and Li Hu's scandal caused this scandal. I must leave immediately."

"But what about our land and house?"

"It's sold cheap, and our family has to leave if we don't have any money. They are shameless and our family has to be shameless. In the future, we will hang around with that girl. How much money do we need?"

"Then we have to build a big house?"

"There's no need for that. Your mother and I are getting older, so we can just divide the family. Your brothers will each build a house like Xi'er's house.

Your mother and I live in one house, and we will build four houses in total. We will share the rest of the money equally, and there will be no preference for anyone.Your mother and I can do it now,

You don't have to bear the burden, and when you can't move, each of you can come to our house in turn to wait on it. "

"Father, you and mother are still in good health. People will laugh at us if we separate now. Besides, we also like to live together, so we can have a good relationship with each other."

"Okay, I have the final say on our family's affairs. What are others laughing at? They live together crowded together, and there is a gap between them. They look so bad on the inside, so they have the nerve to laugh at our family? Let's buy a homestead this time and do it together. Yes, Yangliu Village has a good humanity, so they won’t laugh at our family, so it’s settled.”

"Yes"

In this way, the Ma family agreed on the separation of the family on New Year's Eve, and every household in Yangliu Village also smelled meaty on this day.

Some people work the night shift, and their family members send them off after they are done. Some daughters-in-law let the old man watch over their children, and go to the field to watch the night with their husbands, and go home together when they come to change shifts the next day.

Everywhere is full of human touch, except for Li Hu's family, whose house was burned and scandals were exposed, Li Hu left his parents and Liu Shi, and went to the house of his friends for the New Year.

Li's father and Li's mother had no choice but to go to the village head's house to grab a meal. They were all relatives, and the village head couldn't refuse directly.

It's just that Mrs. Liu is pitiful, she can't go back to her natal family, and she has no place to go. In the winter, she is crying alone in a broken yard and house.

Aunt Ma couldn't bear it, and at night, she secretly sent her to Luo's house, and gave her a set of bedding and food.

"Son, you sleep here at night, and you still have to go back to the broken courtyard during the day, or let your in-laws know, and you will suffer."

"Thank you auntie"

"Hey, you can't marry anyone in Li Village, they are a bunch of inhuman things"

"I, I can't be my own master"

"Son, there is no good ending to enduring the humiliation. Why don't you just refute it? Maybe life will be better? You know the daughter-in-law Li Hu bought before, right?"

Mrs. Liu nodded, and Mrs. Ma continued, "She would rather die than give in. After leaving that house, she is doing so well now. You are not stupid and skilled. Why do you have to suffer in her house? There are people all over the place. If you don’t walk, you will be bullied by him for the rest of your life.”

Mrs. Liu lowered her head and said nothing, but she seemed to have listened to Aunt Ma's words.

On the first day of the new year, Mrs. Luo's family received people from Yangliu Village at home, locked the courtyard door after they left, and went straight to the mayor's house.

Everyone in the town is like this, and anyone who doesn't pay homage must first go to the mayor to pay New Year's greetings.
