Chapter 49 Proposal for separation
"Brother! I didn't mean what I just said! I, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, okay? Don't kick me out of the house, I will never dare to do it again!" Xu Xianghong became anxious when she heard Xu Xiangfu's words.
He immediately knelt down in front of Xu Xiangfu and cried.
How could she not cry? His brother wanted to kick her out of the house. If she didn't go to the fields, she would starve to death. If she went to the fields to work, she would be worse off than dead.
And she has to rely on her brother to earn money for her wedding?
Xu Xiangfu snorted coldly, brushed Xu Xianghong's hand away without saying anything or looking at her, and went straight to see Chaomei. He directed Luo Yuzhen and Chaosu to get water and twist the handkerchief, and prepared to give Chaomei a cold compress.
Xu Xianghong saw that his brother was gone and everyone else was busy, so he cried more sadly by himself.
The people standing outside the courtyard wall watching the excitement did not disperse, discussing in whispers.
Xu Xiangfu's family is located in the center of the village, and the yard is short, so there is little privacy at all.
When Chaomei started crying, they gathered around her and watched the show for free.
Why don't you send Chaomei to see a doctor instead of watching the excitement with gusto?
In this era, life in rural areas is not that precious. As long as you can't get up from bed, it's not a big deal.
Farmers have no idea of going to the hospital, and they can't afford it. They don't even have enough to eat, so how can they afford to go to the hospital for medical treatment?
If someone is lame and disabled, most people will sigh that they have a bad life if they do evil.
There are many sick people who have never been to the hospital from the time they got sick to the time they died. They are still suffering from the pain. If they really can't stand it, they go to the barefoot doctor to prescribe some herbal medicine.
When the person is gone at the end, people ask him how he died, and the answer is usually that his stomach hurts like hell, his head hurts like crazy, and his chest hurts like crazy.
In other words, you may die from the disease without knowing the specific cause until the end.
"I'm afraid Xiang Fu is going to get into trouble with Xiang Hongxiong this time! His baby was blinded by his sister. What's going on!"
"That's right! It's not unjust for Xiang Hong to be kicked out of the house, and he can dominate the land all day long. Who can bear it?"
"I think if Zhou Chunhua comes back and makes a fuss, Xiang Fu and his wife will just forget it!"
"I can't tell that this girl Xu Xianghong is really vicious, and she can even do something to her own nephew!"
"Such a girl, no wonder she can't even be called her husband's family now."
The leaders discussed this in a flurry. Everyone was like this. When the incident didn't happen to them, they were so impassioned. When it happened to them, they would probably be blinded.
At this time, Zhou Chunhua came back from picking vegetables on her own plot. She saw a circle of people gathered in her yard and said very unhappily.
"What are you doing around my house? Is there nothing to do?"
"Your house is so lively, let's all come and visit!" said a woman who was particularly troubled by Zhou Chunhua.
This woman's name is Zhou Chunlan, she and Zhou Chunhua are cousins, and she has had a long-standing grudge against Zhou Chunhua.
It turns out that the matchmaker told Zhou Chunlan about her grandfather Xu Jiaxiao, who was very beautiful and very handsome at that time.
Later, Zhou Chunhua used scheming to get close to Xu Jiaxiao and stole Zhou Chunlan's arranged marriage.
At that time, Xu Jiaxiao was adopted as Xu Huaian's grandson, and he would bring money back to Xu Jiaxiao every once in a while, so his conditions were really good. Zhou Chunlan, who was robbed of her marriage, hated Zhou Chunhua to death.
Even though Zhou Chunlan later married He Wenjiang, who had better conditions in Tianshui Village, she still could not forget her hatred for Zhou Chunhua.
When she received misinformation about Xu Huaian's sacrifice, she would run to Zhou Chunhua from time to time to say something. Zhou Chunhua indeed encouraged Xu Jiaxiao and Xu Huaian to break off their engagement.
When Xu Huaian got the news and came back to pick up Xu Jialiang, Zhou Chunlan looked at Zhou Chunhua's regretful expression and felt extremely happy.
Zhou Chunlan felt relieved, and Zhou Chunhua realized that Zhou Chunlan's seemingly well-intentioned advice before was all a trap.
This hatred is getting deeper and deeper. The two are incompatible with each other, and they compare with each other. It is normal for them to say a few words to each other when they meet.
But now Zhou Chunhua had no time to argue with Zhou Chunlan, because she saw Zhou Xianghong sitting in the yard.
"Hong'er, what's wrong with you?"
"mom"
"Why are you crying? Who bullied you? Tell your mother that she will kill him! Where is your brother? Where is he? He doesn't know how to seek justice for you?"
Zhou Chunhua dropped the vegetable basket and quickly wiped Xu Xianghong's tears with her hands.
Xu Xianghong gasped and said: "My brother, my brother said he would kick me out of the house!"
"What? How dare your brother kick you out! Your mother and I are still in charge of this family, so what right does he have to kick you out!" Zhou Chunhua clapped her thigh and stood up.
She rushed straight into the main room and saw everyone in the room performing their duties. One person was twisting the handkerchief, the other was wiping Chaomei's face, and even Chaosu stood aside. It was as if no one among the four people had seen her come in.
"Luo Yuzhen! I think you are so brave that you dare to chase me!" She opened fire on her daughter-in-law as soon as she came in.
Luo Yuzhen faced her with a dull face, "Mom, it's not me who chases people away! Don't get angry with me as soon as you come here!"
"Which one is it if it's not you? Maybe it's Xiang Fu who is the elder brother?"
Zhou Chunhua felt that it must have been Luo Yuzhen who instigated her. Even though she was a daughter-in-law who didn't talk much, she had a pretty good reputation outside. She was just pretending to be good.
Luo Yuzhen glanced at Zhou Xiangfu, continued to wash the handkerchief in the wooden basin, and then carefully applied it on her beautiful eyes.
Zhou Xiangfugang still wanted to say nothing, so he was so stuffy that he kept silent, using silence to fight the war between her mother and her mother-in-law, but Luo Yuzhen's disdainful eyes and the wounds on her beautiful face forced her to speak again.
"Mom, Xu Xianghong is the one I want to get rid of. It's none of Yuzhen's business! Look at your eldest grandson's eyes, he's almost blinded by your precious daughter! As a father, I can't bear it anymore!"
Zhou Chunhua was partial to Xu Xianghong, but her grandson still had a place in her heart. She looked so beautiful and had a big mark on the left half of her face, and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't even open them.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhou Chunhua became anxious now. Her eldest grandson's face has become like this, his son and daughter-in-law are eccentric and cold, and her daughter is still crying at the door of the hall and dare not come in.
Neither of them spoke, but Chaosu explained the matter clearly. Zhou Chunhua really didn't know what to do now.
On weekdays, Xu Xianghong fights for food and is domineering at home, and the two grandchildren also have to sit in the back. Luo Yuzhen is dissatisfied but Xu Xiangfu is suppressing her, but now Xu Xiangfu is heartbroken again.
She felt sorry for her daughter, but she had to rely on her son and daughter-in-law to support her in her old age, and she did not dare to offend her daughter-in-law too harshly.
"Yu Zhen, what happened today is indeed Xiang Hong's fault. Mom will take care of her later. I'll cook two eggs for Chaomei to make up for it. Do you agree?"
Luo Yuzhen raised her head and glanced at her with a serious tone:
"Mom, you are Xiang Hong's biological mother. I know you feel sorry for her, but I also feel sorry for my baby!
My sister-in-law hurt Chaomei's eye because of a few gossips from outsiders.
After all these years, these two children cannot withstand my sister-in-law’s torment!
I don’t want to stir things up in the same pot with her! I want to separate our family!”
When Zhou Chunhua heard the word "separate the family", she immediately became anxious. She only has one son, should she be separated to live alone with her daughter?
Then she must not be overjoyed by that dead mother-in-law Zhou Chunlan? Besides, how can she solve the problem of her daughter's marriage after the family is separated?
With her one and a half labor force, her daughter can't even work on the ground, so it's a problem to fill her stomach, let alone collect a dowry.
"No! I will never break up the family!" Zhou Chunhua's voice suddenly became very loud, "Xiang Fu, you are dead? How can you separate the family with just one son? You are trying to slap me in the face!"
