Uncle’s funeral, there were only a few people, and my mother cried until she lost her voice when she saw her uncle’s portrait.
My aunt was like nothing happened, and was still chatting with others about home. My mother pointed at her aunt: This cruel woman.
In the village, an elderly man came to his uncle's house with a cane and tremblingly: When did it happen? He is still a child.
The old man and his grandfather are of the same generation. How old are the older grandfather? His mother calls him the second uncle. After his grandfather passed away, his mother's second uncle became confused and the things he remembered were all the things he did back then.
In his impression, my uncle was still an unmarried half-aged child. He did things all day long, either going to the river to catch frogs or stealing fruits from his neighbor's home. In short, children of that era would do a few naughty things.
But in fact, my uncle has been an adult for eight years.
A group of people surrounded his mother's second uncle, afraid that he would fall: It's a sin, but such a good child ends up like this, what's the law of nature?
After saying that, tears fell to the ground, and a heavy rain came from the sky for a moment. Maybe I would like to express sympathy for my uncle's departure.
My aunt and uncle made me no longer expect any marriage, because my uncle was scolded by me, and my father and mother explained that the marriage was happy, but my aunt and the others...
Every summer vacation, my mother would take me to my grandma's house for some time. My aunt either scolded my uncle for not doing this well, or said that my uncle was not good, and she scolded my uncle in front of everyone. I guess that my uncle wanted to get into the crack at the ground.
But grandma doesn’t care about it, it seems that my aunt is her biological daughter and her uncle is her son-in-law.
Every time my mother argued with her, we were shot home by her aunt. My mother was so angry that she called her uncle a coward who couldn't even control her own wife.
Uncle likes his daughter, but he has been married to his aunt for eight years and still has no children. Grandma tells everyone he can't have children, so there will be people behind him wherever his uncle goes.
Grandma has always been kind to outsiders. Even the poor people passing by will give them dry food, but now she is a soft knife to her uncle. She is really cruel.
One day my uncle proposed to work outside the city, and my aunt's brother-in-law happened to be a contractor, so my aunt agreed.
My uncle has been there for a year. Although he sends money to his home on a monthly basis, he has twice as many times as possible than when he works, and my aunt is happy for a few days when she receives the money.
A few days later, my aunt always said in the village: The shopkeeper courtyard, how can women do this without men?
But after a long time, it is inevitable that someone will spread gossip, saying that my aunt and neighbor Lao Wang were very close. The news spread quickly, and my uncle also knew about it. After hearing this, the coworkers advised my uncle to go back.
My aunt's brother-in-law didn't let my uncle go back, and he would not pay him any wages if he wanted to leave. The work would be done in half a year. My aunt's brother-in-law said he would drive my uncle back.
The aunt's brother-in-law mentioned his uncle to the person in charge of the business, and he didn't have to work, and his salary also increased. When his uncle thought about the truth, he should earn more money before going back. If he had money, he could make everyone forget everything.
After my uncle became the manager, my aunt's brother-in-law returned to her hometown in the countryside.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the cold winter month, and the days of going home were getting closer and closer. My aunt's brother-in-law also came back and said that she would take my uncle home as soon as the work was completed.
The moment my uncle returned home, he saw a child hanging on the quilt on the kang, standing there.
The aunt sat on the kang and patted the child with her hands: I'm back, don't be hungry, don't be thirsty, put your luggage in the inner room, don't stick it, come and see your daughter, didn't you say you always want a daughter?
Uncle reached out and slapped my aunt: It was really true, so shameless.
Aunt covered her face while crying. When grandma entered the house without saying a word, she picked up a feather duster and beat her uncle: You are a little unconscientious, how much has your wife suffered to have this child?
The wife did such a thing, and her mother still had such an attitude, and her uncle committed suicide.
Before my uncle died of suicide: I don’t blame her, really.
The first seventh uncle, his mother, aunt, and grandma went to visit the grave. Grandma lay in front of his uncle's grave and cried until she couldn't say anything: Son, you are so confused, why don't you ask? The child is your wife kneeled down for three days, and his sister gave you a month-old daughter. Son, mom will come to accompany you in a few days.
My aunt knelt in front of the grave and roared: We have been a couple for eight years. I have been a villain for eight years. I want to fulfill your dream of being a daughter, but... it’s all my fault, I can’t give birth to it.
My aunt slapped her mouth hard, grandma slapped the soil with her hands, and her fingernails were full of blood.
The author has something to say:
After my uncle left three years ago, my aunt walked in the walkway and gave birth to a boy.
After the mother found out, she didn't say anything, let alone mention her uncle. It turned out that grandma said that her uncle could not have children to maintain her son's marriage.
In fact, everyone thinks that aunts cannot give birth.
Sometimes a kind lie or unexpected surprise is to take this right position and not let your relatives do impulsive things, because you are the person he trusts the most.
In the world of marriage, there is nothing more serious than betrayal.
Even as a mother, grandma should not hide it from her son in order to maintain her son's marriage, and said that her son cannot give birth to her.
As a wife, I want to give my husband a surprise, but I shouldn’t have it. This is the way and this surprise. I hope that through this story, let everyone face the closest people and just say it bluntly.
