Chapter 7 A Sad Story

Sadness flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.The whole story is so sad.

My mother is an educated youth who went to the countryside, and her family lives in Haicheng. My grandfather is a professor at a university, and my grandmother is an ordinary housewife.My grandmother gave birth to three children: my aunt was the eldest, my mother was the second child, and the youngest was my uncle.

During the catastrophe, my grandfather, grandmother and uncle all passed away.

My mother responded to the call to go to the mountains and the countryside, while my aunt got married early and stayed in Haicheng.

When she was young, her mother was very good-looking, beautiful and educated, and she still had a gentle taste on her body. As soon as she came to this poor country with inconvenient transportation, she attracted a lot of coveted eyes.

Uncle Lu also fell in love with his mother at that time. Under his pursuit and protection, his mother finally agreed to his marriage proposal. The hateful thing is that at this moment, Chen Juxiang used despicable means to lure her mother to her home, and drugged her The son, that is, her biological father got his mother.

The mother was pregnant, and was so coaxed by the mother and son's soft voice that she had to marry with tears in her eyes.Her miserable days began after giving birth to her.His biological father is foolish and filial, he has no opinions, and listens to his mother no matter what is right or wrong.But his old mother is a vicious woman who is selfish to the bone.

Her favorite thing to do is to provoke her son to beat his wife and children through various trivial matters, and then show her mother-in-law's money condescendingly in front of her daughter-in-law, asking her to kowtow to apologize.

So later at my father's funeral, not only did my mother not cry, but she sneered again and again.At that time, she was only four years old, because her mother would protect her with all her strength every time she was beaten, so she simply "don't remember to beat".

So Chen Juxiang, the "pro-grandmother", threatened her in various ways in front of her, and she listened to her when she made up bad things about her mother.So she hated her mother and Uncle Lu in her heart since she was a child. She followed Chen Juxiang's instructions, watching her mother work hard, and destroying her without helping her.She did everything that would piss her off.As long as there are some delicious and useful things at home, she will never forget Chen Juxiang's order to inform her to show that she has "filial piety".

The most tragic scene was when my mother remarried.

Under her "struggle", my mother succumbed again.In a short period of time, my mother became old and unrecognizable.

Later, my mother died, she fell from the cliff while chopping firewood.She became an orphan.When everything in the house was emptied, even the new clothes and cotton padded clothes that her mother made for her disappeared.She had nothing to eat, no coat to wear, no quilt to cover her.

Only eight years old, she was cold and hungry and went to the house of the "grandmother" who kept saying that she loved her the most.In the end, her "grandmother" closed the door and refused to let her in. She also said that only the younger generation respects the elders, and there is no such thing as the younger generation dragging down the elders.

In the end, she was so hungry that she cried, so she could only dig grass roots and bark to eat to satisfy her hunger.The people in the village couldn't see it anymore, so under the intervention of the village cadres, they finally lived in the grandma's house.

At her grandparents' house, she lived on a haystack in the kitchen, covered with broken mattresses that her uncles and aunts didn't want.The aunt and niece picked up the clothes and wore the rest.Because the condition of the uncle and aunt's house is good, the remaining clothes of the cousin sister are still a little stronger, and they are sent to the aunt's mother's house when it is not her turn, and every time I bring back two worn-out ones for her to change and wash.

To say that if all of the above can still be tolerated by her.So besides having to do a lot of work every day to eat a few mouthfuls of thin leftovers, the frequent beating and scolding made her feel scared.

Those were the darkest days in her memory. There was endless work to do every day, and she couldn't stop for a while, and she would be beaten and scolded if she made a bad move.Even if she did nothing wrong, anytime, anywhere, she might be slapped or kicked by anyone passing by who disliked her. The one who slaps her once or twice is considered lucky. I felt bad and was beaten to death several times. The worst thing was that I had to keep doing my job after being beaten, and continued to beat me if I didn't do enough.

Going to school has become an extravagant wish. She was forced to drop out of school the moment she entered her grandma's house when she was in the second grade. The village cadres didn't care about it. It was useless to go to the classroom, and I could only watch helplessly as my cousin and cousin carried their schoolbags to school every day. The schoolbag my cousin was using was a small schoolbag with little emerald flowers and lace sewed for her by my mother.

Such days endured for half a year.Only then did she know how happy she was when her mother was there.

Just when she was almost desperate, her aunt came.

The aunt paid a large sum of money to take her away.

As soon as she left the village, my aunt told her the truth that she came only because Uncle Lu came to the door and begged her to come.There is only one aunt left in my mother's natal family, and the aunt's life is also very tight, even if she wants to, she is really powerless.

My aunt said that her visit this time includes round-trip travel expenses and benefits to grandma’s family. All the expenses are paid by Uncle Lu. In the future, her household registration will be at the aunt’s house, but she will follow Uncle Lu. To live, rely on Uncle Lu to support.

Following Uncle Lu, she was actually afraid in her heart.But no matter how afraid she was, she never felt scared when she went back to her grandma's house.

To her surprise, she seemed to be back when her mother was with her when she was with Uncle Lu.Uncle Lu never beat or scolded her, and he didn't even say harsh words to her.Apart from never giving her a smiling face, Uncle Lu was really nice to her.

For her, Uncle Lu even left his hometown and stayed in the city where his aunt lived to do odd jobs to support her. He saved money but was willing to give her good things. He continued to support her in college until she graduated.

After graduating from university, she took the civil service exam and got a good job that her classmates envied, and she was finally able to take care of Uncle Lu. Only then did she know that Uncle Lu had actually been terminally ill for some time.

In order not to drag her down, Uncle Lu kept it a secret, and he supported it by himself until the end was incurable.

At that time, when she looked at Uncle Lu who was lying on the hospital bed and asked him why he was so kind to her, Uncle Lu was silent for a long time, with a complicated expression on his face.He said he would do what he promised her mother, and he said he actually hated her.
After Uncle Lu's death, Chen Juxiang didn't know where she got the news, but she took pains to let her youngest son take the unit that found her to stop her.

Chen Juxiang asked her to give up the job to her grandson as soon as she opened her mouth.Later I saw that it really didn't work.The lion opened his mouth wide again, and asked her for the house that Uncle Lu had worked so hard all his life for, and asked her to take out all her savings, and give her ninety percent of her salary every month as tribute money.

She even helped her take care of her husband's family, an old bachelor in his forties.All the deposits have been collected.Chen Juxiang wanted her to marry as soon as possible, and even told her not to take away the good clothes, saying that they belonged to the old Su family's property, and her "in-law's family" couldn't be taken advantage of.
Because Chen Juxiang was so troublesome, the leaders of her unit couldn't bear to be bothered, so they could only let her go back to take care of the housework before returning to work.In the end, she had to resign from her hard-won job, secretly left, and went to another city to get rid of her entanglement.

In a new city, everything has to start all over again.Only when she finally earned a large fortune and returned to her hometown did she know the whole "story", the real cause of her father's death, and the despicable role Chen Juxiang played between her mother and Uncle Lu.

When the truth came to light, she burst into tears, and from then on, the past became a knot in her heart, which she could not unravel for the rest of her life.Even though she later changed her surname to Lu, she moved the tomb to let her mother and Uncle Lu be buried together in the name of husband and wife, and writing "Father, Mother" on their tombstones did not reduce her guilt and heartache in the slightest.

It's not that Chen Juxiang has never had trouble with members of the Su family, but since she dared to do this, she is not without support.
