urban life

Chapter 351 How much energy and effort did you spend?

Today, the sun is bright and bright, the sun is beautiful and the wind is clear, the golden light is brilliant, the sun is warm on the body, but Hou Mengting is a bit cold.

Ever since my buddies apologized at the dinner table, this future mother-in-law has remained silent, completely inconsistent with her personality and personality. The usual warmth and luster disappeared without a sound, and her whole body became a bit cooler and colder.

Originally, she wanted to help her mother-in-law wash the dishes, but her mother-in-law shook her head. Although she didn't say a word, she realized the other party's determination and gave up.

Hou Mengting hugged her buddy's arms, stared at her mother-in-law washing the dishes, and sighed softly.

It was hard for her to imagine that there would be such a ruthless and ungrateful person in the world, who favored sons to such an extent, one could imagine how much her mother-in-law had suffered before.

What is commendable is that the mother-in-law is still cheerful and optimistic.

"Women don't frown easily, it's easy to get old." Zhou An glanced at the sisters, the two-leaf willow eyebrows seemed to be pierced with two deep lines with a wood carving knife, and said in a flat tone, "Your mother-in-law asked for it herself, she is so stupid and filial. "

Hou Mengting's voice was soft and lingering, and the eloquence was pleasant but murderous: "You brought the beating on yourself."

"."

Because Lu Guang and the others had something to do, they left in a hurry. The old lady was pulling Lu Qijun's girlfriend. Take out a red envelope from your pocket, delicate and unique.

There is a big "Shou" character on the top of the cover of the red envelope, and there is an old man on crutches at the bottom, who is more than seventy years old, and there are four big characters "Shoubi Nanshan" on the top.

When Zhou An saw the red envelope, he was overjoyed.

This old lady is really ungrateful.

Seeing that scene, Hou Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth in astonishment, her goose-egg face stiffened, and she bit her red lips lightly.

Lu Qijun's girlfriend was stunned for a moment, then she took the red envelope with her lips pursed, and thanked her quickly.

Just when Lu Qijun and the others were intoxicated by the warm reunion scene, a slightly hoarse and deep voice with a touch of magnetism said, "Mom, that's a gift from Tingting."

Yes, the red envelope with the old man on the cover was given by Hou Mengting. In order to buy a suitable cover, she went to several stores.

"It's mine to send it to me. What do I do with it? It's none of your business." The old lady nodded naturally, "Your daughter-in-law didn't say anything, so what are you talking about?"

Still that stubborn and unfeeling face.

"Hello Tingting." Lu Yulan walked to the courtyard with water dripping from her hands.

Hearing this, the old lady twisted her neck and looked badly: "That is to say, I am not a good person?"

"Yes." Lu Yulan nodded.

In an instant, the air in the entire small courtyard seemed to stop rotating. The lack of air circulation made people feel a little out of breath and felt dizzy.

Everyone around widened their eyes and looked at Lu Yulan in surprise. The word "yes" was like waves in the sea, resounding in the ears of several people one after another. It was so deep and clear that it was unbelievable that these words came out of her mouth. .

"You're not nice." Lu Yulan asked in a more peaceful tone, "Mom, tell me, what did I do when I was young that offended you and made you so partial?"

The old lady's forehead was full of wrinkles, and she said bluntly: "It was a mistake to give birth to you."

"Why?" As soon as these words came out, Lu Yulan couldn't hold back, her eyes were red, her voice was hoarse and loud, and there was strong grief in it, "Even if you hate me, you shouldn't implicate other people, Xiao An It's your grandson with your blood, Tingting is your grandson's wife, we are a family."

"A married woman is water thrown out. Your son's surname is Zhou and your daughter-in-law's surname is Hou. When you received the certificate, it was Zhou Lu." The old lady was cold and ruthless. Outsiders, we are not a family."

The words are loud and powerful, and they deeply analyze family relationships from ethics, thinking logic, and words.

She didn't know that Lu Yulan couldn't refute, but she was still thinking about her family affection, she kept her mouth shut for a while, her eyes were fixed on her mother, and there were crystal clear tears in her eyes, as if they were about to fall in the next second.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Uncle Lu Guang hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. While patting the old lady on the shoulder, he said, "Okay, okay. Mom, old man, don't say a few words, my little sister is not malicious."

Then he raised his head and said to Lu Yulan: "Little sister, as a big brother, I have to criticize you a few words. How can you talk to our mother like this? Our mother has worked so hard to raise you, how much energy and painstaking effort was spent, quickly give Mom apologizes, even if this matter is over, we are still a family."

People all over the world love to watch the excitement, and the little old men and women in the countryside love to watch the excitement even more. Because they have nothing to do, they spend all day making arrangements for other children in the village. This is not good, and that is not good.In addition, the rural area is small, and a group of people immediately gathered to watch.

The moment Lu Yulan quarreled with the old lady, she was surrounded by many neighbors from the same village, stretching their necks, only hating being old and deaf.

[What's going on? 】

[It's not clear, Yulan and her mother had a fight. 】

【Yo, then I have to take a closer look, this is big news. 】

[Yulan's mother is also true, she is partial to her belly button.Usually, he just ignores Yulan's answers and just shouts and shouts, but now Yulan's son brings his girlfriend to the house for the first time, and he doesn't even show good looks. No one can bear it. 】

【I can't stand it normally, Yulan's mother is simply too patriarchal, she doesn't do anything, and is hated all day long. 】

[Actually, men and women are the same now, boys are not as filial as girls. 】

[That's it. 】

The traffic in the rice paddies, the chickens and the dogs, and the little things in the countryside, these old men and women understand it clearly, chatting and discussing it, feeling unworthy for Lu Yulan.

What Lu Guang said made Lu Yulan feel bad. After all, she was the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. She shouldn't have quarreled with her mother and fell into deep silence.

The old lady glanced at the neighbors around, and she obviously heard the neighbor's conversation, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment or embarrassment. Instead, she straightened her chest and shouted loudly: "Hurry up!"

Lu Guang's performance further deepened the old lady's inner concept.

Sons are better than daughters.

The daughter is a loser.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest, and the whole game was lost in one careless move. The old lady just used three words, which instantly broke Lu Yulan's strong mentality.

Lu Yulan began to sob, trying to cover up the pain with her hands. Her sobs turned into continuous low-pitched weeping, with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Hey!" Zhou An sighed deeply, patted the back of Hou Mengting's hand, "Pull my mother aside."

Hou Mengting nodded, walked to her mother-in-law, wiped the tears from her cheeks, and helped Lu Yulan aside.

Looking at his biological mother, Zhou An's heart felt as if a knife had been twisted. He was such a cheerful and strong person in the past, but now he is miserable.

How sad Teacher Zhou will be when he sees this scene.

Zhou An withdrew his gaze from his mother, raised his eyes to look at the radiant old lady, like a victorious general, and said softly: "I'm sorry, old lady, I'm a bit harsh, don't mind, if you do, it's up to you, anyway, I will I will never come to your place again. I don’t know if you are pretending to be a god, or you have a problem with your brain, or you really take everything for granted.”

"What is my mother sorry for you?"

"Xiao An—" before the old lady could speak, Lu Guang looked serious and said sternly, "How can you talk to grandma like that? Is there such an elder?"

Zhou An glanced at his uncle, and said word by word: "None of your business!"

"You trash. After living your whole life, you still take money from the old lady with peace of mind. You have the nerve to teach me? You have already made a fortune by using your skills in begging for money."

People like Lu Guang are the worst. They seem to smooth things over for the good of the family, but in fact they support the old lady overwhelmingly. They enjoy the care and care of the old lady all their lives, but they want to spend more money from Lu Yulan.

"Zhou An!!" Lu Qijun said in a deep voice.

"You are also a piece of trash." Zhou An said, "Are you pretending to be in front of the labor and management? Believe it or not, the labor and management will let your poor sales manager step down in no time. You are so poor and still get married? Think about something good."

Now that his face was being torn apart, Zhou An opened the skylight to speak frankly, and directly refused to dump the family surnamed Lu, and was no longer willing to maintain this hypocritical and superficial relationship. Anyway, everyone was tired, so he simply broke it off.

Moreover, Lu Yulan was completely terminated. From now on, the road will be open, and each will go on one side.

Teacher Zhou couldn't do this, and Lu Yulan couldn't do it. Only his son was the most suitable.

"Zhou An, you really have no respect for your elders." The old lady was very angry, pointing at him and said, "I order you to apologize to your uncle and cousin."

"Why?" Zhou An asked.

"Because I am your grandmother, and because I gave birth to your mother, I spent countless energy and painstaking efforts." The old lady was very excited, but her mind was also very flexible.

"Oh, yes." Zhou An nodded as if agreeing, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he asked doubtfully, "Then, how much energy and effort did you spend?"

"From the moment my mother became conscious, she began to help your family with laundry and cooking. When she grew up a little, she started to do farm work. Even the day before her old man married Teacher Zhou, she was still busy on the hillside. So I just want to ask for my mother, how much energy and effort have you expended?"

"From the day you were 60 years old, my mother sent you money every month, and there is no missing month, until now. My mother is with you when you see a doctor and take medicine, and there is no dissatisfaction. Sometimes I have to worry about whether you are eating well. Okay, did you sleep well? How much energy and effort did you spend?"

"My mother has been a shrewd person all her life. She has been a supermarket owner for so many years, and she has never missed a single account. However, she has miscalculated the biggest account in her life. You, an old lady, used the grace of childbearing and only a few years The kindness of nurturing, but in exchange for several decades of support, this business is really profitable, it’s hard to make money for you, your old man is better at investing than those on Wall Street, it’s a pity that you were born in the wrong era.”

Hou Mengting on the side was sad and funny at the same time. In such a serious scene, how can my buddies complain.

Indecency had run deep into his soul.

But then Lu Yulan was heartbroken, because Zhou An settled the relationship between her mother-in-law and the old lady as an investment. There was no family relationship, only a ruthless interest relationship.

Can Zhou An be blamed for this?No, because reality is like this.

Can Lu Yulan be blamed for this?Even more impossible, she has worked hard to maintain the only relationship.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the old lady. She was the one who abandoned her family and her own daughter first.

These words are lethal to the uneducated old man and old lady in the countryside. At least the old lady was extremely angry, her face was flushed, and she pointed at Zhou An with a pair of thin fingers that only had bones and no flesh: "You"

Pointing for a long time, still unable to explain why, Zhou An shrugged: "What me? Did I say something wrong? Still feel embarrassed? No way? Your old man is not so thin-skinned, is he?"

"It's just a red envelope, why make such an unpleasant scene." Uncle Lu Guang felt that he couldn't handle this nephew, so he stopped entangled with Lu Yulan's affairs, but returned to the moment of breaking out, and quickly snatched the birthday from Lu Qijun's girlfriend. Bi Nanshan's red envelope, and handed it to Zhou An, "Since it's yours, it's yours, no one wants it, so it's fine."

"Really don't want it?" Zhou An glanced at his uncle lightly, but somewhat underestimated the latter.

But—Zhou An instantly sensed the little Jiujiu in Lu Guang's heart.

One is that if they fell out today, Lu Yulan will definitely take care of the old lady very little in the future, and all the burdens will fall on him.The second is that Mr. Zhou does have some contacts in Taohua Town, which are useful.The third is that Lu Yulan gave Lu Qijun [-] yuan to buy a house, thinking of more ways to make money from Lu Yulan.

It can only be said that the calculation is really loud.

"No!" Lu Guang shook his head.

"That's fine!" Zhou An took the red envelope, opened it, and there was only a thin piece of paper inside, and said, "Let me introduce you, this is called a check, yes, you guessed it right, the kind in TV dramas Check, as long as you have it, you can withdraw money at will. This is specially entrusted to the old lady by Hou Mengting. It doesn’t have much money, only 10 yuan. Since you don’t want it, then I”

While Zhou An was talking, he gently exerted force, and with a tear, the check split into two halves in an instant.

At the moment when the check was torn, Zhou An clearly heard a heartbreaking sound.

"Hiss..." Uncle Lu Guang was the closest to him, took the two checks with lightning speed, and looked at them seriously, staring at Zhou An with longing eyes, "Really?"

"Fake!" Zhou An replied amusedly, "I lied to you."

He was amused by this uncle, there are such simple people in the world.

"I'll just say it." Lu Guang heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest. If it was really 10 yuan, his heart would almost stop. You have to apologize to your grandma."

For people like Lu Guang, Zhou An had only four words to describe him.

Standard brain damage!

"Uncle, it's true." Lu Qijun replied without any dissatisfaction when his girlfriend's red envelope was robbed, and folded his arms.

"Really?" Lu Guang's heart suddenly became tense.

"Really." Lu Qijun's girlfriend nodded seriously.

"Depend on!"
