Chapter 157 Someone from my mother’s family is coming
When Zuo Jingyan saw that it was Liang Xiujuan, she had no intention of paying attention to her. Her sister-in-law said that she was expelled from school and it was her own fault.
Liang Xiujuan thought Zuo Jingyan didn't see her, so after buying the tofu, she lowered her head and left, walking very fast.
After Zuo Jingyan and Lu Haoting bought tofu, they went to buy steamed buns. Two boxes of steamed buns were cheaper, five cents each, ten steamed buns cost half a catty in food stamps, white flour steamed buns cost eight cents each, and ten steamed buns cost one catty in food stamps.
"Let's buy Lianghe noodles and steamed buns, they're half cheaper!"
Zuo Jingyan is as prudent as any young daughter-in-law who knows how to make ends meet. She is not short of money, but she is short of food stamps.
"good."
Lu Haoting smiled and nodded, looking happy as the couple discussed and discussed.
"There are small fishes!"
Zuo Jingyan saw a pot of long crucian carp at the fish counter. Fish of this length were particularly fragrant when fried, so she ran over excitedly:
"How much does it cost per pound?"
"Thirty cents a pound."
This kind of small fish has a lot of bones. If you stew it, you won't be able to spit out the bones. If you fry it, it will take more oil. So not many people buy it, so the price is very cheap.
"It takes three kilograms."
When Zuo Jingyan heard that it was so cheap, she immediately asked for three pounds. When paying the money, Zuo Jingyan smiled and said to Lu Haoting:
"It's the weekend. I'll pick Xiaoyu up in the evening. She likes fried fish the most."
Lu Haoting was a little envious of Xiao Yu, seeing that his wife even knew what Xiao Yu liked to eat.
After shopping for groceries, the two went home to cook. Lu Haoting took over the task of carrying the groceries with his uninjured hand, not letting Zuo Jingyan carry any more.
Zuo Jingyan felt warm in her heart. She used to envy this kind of ordinary happiness, but now she has it.
As soon as they returned to the store, they saw Li Ling standing in front of her store with a plainly dressed rural woman in her fifties and a dark-skinned rural man in his thirties.
Zuo Jingyan stopped in her tracks with her heart pounding, and Lu Haoting had already strode over to greet her:
"Mom, brother, why are you here?"
"Mom misses my little sister so much that she almost feels sick. She can't wait even a day for me to send her here."
Zuo Jingyan's eldest brother Zuo Xiangdong saw that his brother-in-law was very nervous and rubbed his hands on his clothes, worried that his brother-in-law would be angry.
Lu Haoting quickly told his mother-in-law:
"Mom, Jingyan and I also said that we would go back to see you and dad after we finish building the house."
Ma Yulan was a little flattered. Her daughter used disgraceful means to blackmail Lu Haoting and force him to marry her. After the marriage, she turned the old Lu family upside down. To be honest, Ma Yulan was quite embarrassed to see Lu Haoting.
Because when his family forced him to marry his daughter, she still felt frightened and had an uneasy conscience when she thought about Lu Haoting's angry look.
Therefore, she was very afraid of this uncle, and she had been feeling uneasy on the way here. She was afraid that Lu Haoting would kick her and her son out, and she was even more afraid that the two of them would get into trouble because of his arrival.
But if he doesn't come, she won't worry.
Jingyan said in the telegram that she was about to starve to death because of the anger here. Her mother's heart was broken when she heard that. Although she sent money by mail, she was still worried, so she just wanted to come and have a look. If it didn't work, she would
Take your daughter back.
Both Ma Yulan and her wife regretted helping their daughter to get this marriage, but it was not possible without help at that time. The daughter took a rope and tied it to the beam, and if she didn't help, she would hang herself.
But both she and her husband know that the marriage was blackmailed, so how can they treat you well?
She didn't dare to ask Lu Haoting to pamper his daughter, as long as she didn't beat her, scold her, and feed her. On the day of the wedding, the officiant asked Lu Haoting to call her parents, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing with a cold face.
At this moment, Lu Haoting suddenly took the initiative to call her mother. Ma Yulan thought she had heard wrong and was stunned not knowing what to do.
Zuo Xiangdong didn't recognize Zuo Jingyan at first glance. Her hair shape, temperament, and clothing had all changed. It took her a long time to recognize that she was his sister.
Seeing that she has become more beautiful, her face is rosy, and her clothes are so fashionable. She is not as angry as the telegram said. I was worried all the way when I came. Seeing that my little sister is living so well now, Zuo Xiangdong's eyes are moist and he trembles.
Call her:
"Little sister."
"Xiaoyan."
When she heard her son shouting, Ma Yulan looked over and saw her daughter's tears streaming down her face like a bursting dam. She left Lu Haoting and ran to her daughter, hugging her and crying loudly.
"Xiaoyan, I'm so worried about my mother. You child, why are you sending such nonsense in telegrams? Your father is so anxious after reading the telegram you sent, and your mother is so anxious that she can't eat or sleep. Please hurry up and kill us two."
The bones are broken to death.”
Zuo Jingyan's whole body was stiff. The original owner was so tormented that her parents-in-law's family was in trouble. This mother was so kind. Maybe it was the original owner's guilt for her mother. Zuo Jingyan felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard her crying and choked up.
Apologize:
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Ma Yulan was holding her daughter and crying. When she heard her saying sorry, she asked in shock:
"You...what did you say?"
Jingyan actually said she was sorry? She used to not allow anyone to say sorry when she did something wrong, let alone say she was sorry.
"Mom, I was ignorant before and made you and dad worry about it."
Zuo Jingyan called out "Mom" and ran away. She hugged her mother's thin body apologetically. What she longed for most since she was a child without a mother was not money but maternal love. The original owner had parents who were so good to her, so why wasn't she satisfied?
"Lao Zuo, our Xiaoyan has grown up, grown up..."
Ma Yulan cried even harder, but she started laughing even as she cried. When she arrived, she was worried about the car ride. She didn't expect that her daughter would give her such a big surprise.
Li Ling advised from the side:
"Auntie, Jingyan is so awesome now. She owns the barber shop. It's so grand. You don't have to worry. She and Haoting are in a good relationship. Next year you will have your grandson."
Zuo Jingyan's face was full of black lines, and her sister-in-law Li Ling said that she already had children.
Lu Haoting came over and greeted his mother-in-law to come into the house:
"Mom, it's hot outside, let's go inside and talk."
"Hey, okay, come in."
Ma Yulan wiped her tears with her sleeves. Seeing that her uncle respected her so much, she was flattered and agreed, and followed them into the house.
Zuo Xiangdong picked up the large backpack on the ground and followed them into the house. After entering, he took things out.
"Sister, brother-in-law, we came here in a bit of a hurry and didn't bring you many things. We just brought an old hen, an old duck, and some local specialties."
Zuo Xiangdong mentioned more than just a few things, including a big bag of red dates, a big bag of chestnuts, a big bag of fungus, a big bag of mushrooms, and thirty or forty eggs.
The two of them brought all the good things from home, but they felt that this was not enough. They were afraid that Lu Haoting would think his parents were too stingy, so they carefully looked at Lu Haoting's face after taking the things.
Zuo Jingyan looked at the things on the floor. The train was so crowded on this hot day, and she had to carry so many things. My eldest brother probably didn't even have a seat, so he just stood all the way. This family affection is too heavy and heavy.
It moved her.
Lu Haoting also felt that they brought too much:
"Mom, brother, you are too polite."
