On the phone with her mother that day, she talked about what happened recently at the families of relatives, including those who married, some married daughters, and some imported children. At the end, she sighed and said, "Half a month ago, your cousin Jianchuan passed away. My cousin suffered all his life and never enjoyed a day of happiness until he died. In the end, he was angry with his sister-in-law and his family."
Jianchuan's father is my mother's uncle. The two of them are cousins who are "uncle relatives, relatives for generations, broken bones and tendons". Because they live in a village, I am still very familiar with this cousin. When my mother mentioned him, I remembered that I often ate the drunken dates he gave me in my childhood. In that era of poor supplies, those drunken dates were considered supreme delicacies, so I still remember them after so many years.
Jianchuan is a miserable person. His mother said that when he was ten years old, his father and mother died one after another. He was raised by his grandmother. When he was fifteen years old, his grandmother also passed away, and Jianchuan became an orphan completely.
Since then, Jianchuan has lived in his mother's house for a short time, but his mother's family has several siblings, and the family can only barely maintain food and clothing. So what they can provide to Jianchuan is just a bowl of rice, and the rest of their work is powerless even if they want to help.
Jianchuan returned to his home after he was eighteen years old, participated in the production team's production labor , and began to live a life with his own door. When I reached the age of marriage, in order to help him get married and start a business, my mother's mother and my grandmother asked someone to match his nephew everywhere. However, because of the poor family's financial conditions, no parents' care, and the taciturn personality caused by inferiority, no girl was willing to enter his home.
When he was thirty years old, someone introduced him to a woman from another place. He spent 2,000 yuan to finally welcome the woman into the house. However, after less than three months of living, the woman disappeared without a trace, and Jianchuan lost both his personal wealth.
Two thousand yuan seems insignificant now. In that era when the newspaper vigorously promoted the "ten thousand yuan households", these two thousand yuan was Jianchuan's entire savings plus the loans of relatives and friends. The debt burden caused by marrying a wife has made Jianchuan breathless for several years.
Just when Jianchuan thought he would die alone, his fate suddenly turned around. One day, someone came to him as a matchmaker and said that Xinghua, the eldest girl from Jianzhong's family in the village, was willing to marry her on the condition that he would help her raise her younger brother and sister.
Speaking of which, Xinghua is also a miserable girl. Jianzhong and his wife died a few years ago, leaving Xinghua with a mentally retarded younger brother and young sister. Xinghua himself suffers from heart disease. Xinghua, who is twenty, cannot bear such a burden of life, so she wants to marry herself and someone can help her. With such conditions as
, she couldn't find a family to accept her. In desperation, she thought of Jianchuan. Although she was a teenager and honest person, she was strong and strong, and had these two things.
In this way, two miserable people formed a family. Jianchuan took on the burden of life without regrets, took care of his mentally retarded wife and brother-in-law, and provided for his sister-in-law to study in elementary school.
After getting married to Xinghua, his biggest wish was that Xinghua could give birth to a man and a half of his daughter, and he would have a good time to rely on him, but Xinghua's belly was still silent after three years of marriage. The result of the examination in the hospital made him fall into an ice hole - Xinghua has no ability to give birth.
After learning of this result, Xinghua didn't say a word for two days. Finally, she cried and said to him: "I'm sorry for you. Thank you for your care for my family over the years. I don't want to delay you. Let's get a divorce!"
Jianchuan also thought a lot in the past two days. He smiled honestly at Xinghua and said: "Don't think like this. There are too many children in the world. Let's train our sister well. When she has a future, we will still enjoy happiness. Besides, I will divorce you. Where can I find a wife!" One sentence made Xinghua burst into tears.
Under his care, Xinghua's sister Plum Blossom gradually grew up.Plum blossoms are not the material for reading, and they are reluctant to study when they are in the second year of junior high school. After working in a clothing factory in the neighboring village for several years, he fell in love with a young man in the same workshop. Before he got married, his stomach became bigger. The two families hurriedly held a wedding for them.
After getting married, the plum blossom couple did not focus on their life, but they became obsessed with gambling. They lost all their money in three years, and even sold the house and paid off their gambling debts.
The homeless Meihua couple found Jianchuan. Although Jianchuan and Meihua were brother-in-law and sister-in-law, they grew up emotionally because they were father and daughter.
Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the plum blossom couple, despite their regrets, they still accepted them and built two houses next to the old house to settle them down. They have lived here for decades since then.
When Xinghua was fifty years old, she died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and failed to rescue. When she was dying, she held Jianchuan's hand and said, "I have dragged you down in this life. After I die, my stupid brother will drag you down. My family owe you in this life. I will repay you as a cow or a horse in the next life."
When Xinghua died, Jianchuan was already six years old. A teenager is not as physically and energetic as before, but with his wife's dying orphan, he cared for his mentally retarded wife and brother-in-law. He cooked and washed clothes every day and took care of him meticulously. His own sister Meihua hated him very much. As long as he was a little closer to her, she would scold him loudly and said, "Get away, you are stupid, I don't know how you live!" She followed her like this, and her son also disrespected this stupid uncle.
Although Jianchuan took care of him, he could not follow him all the time. One afternoon this autumn, this poor mentally retarded was in a car accident while crossing the road and died on the spot.
After coordination, the driver in charge of the accident compensated 200,000 yuan. The Meihua couple took care of this matter and received the compensation, Meihua said proudly: "I didn't expect that my stupid brother could make such a great contribution until his death. This 200,000 is enough for my son's bride price!"
After his wife's brother passed away, Jianchuan felt that he was old and had lost his ability to work. In addition, he had taken care of his wife's brother for many years, and he had to have his own compensation for his brother-in-law, so he was preparing to come over to spend his pension. Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, he was ruthlessly rejected by Meihua.
She said, "I am the first heir to my brother's property. What is your brother-in-law's elder brother-in-law?" In order to get the compensation, Jianchuan found several respected people from his wife's tribe to do plum blossom work together. What he didn't expect was that this action actually cost him his life.
As soon as the two sides met, someone persuaded Meihua to take out some money to Jianchuan. Meihua started arguing with Jianchuan at that time. Jianchuan said, "Plum Blossom, let's be honest in doing things. I have raised you and your brother since you were seven years old. If you don't have any credit, you will have hard work!"
His words made Meihua cry. She said, "You still have the face to say credit and hard work. What have you done in my family? Since I was fifteen, you have asked my sister and I to sleep with you every day. If you don't follow me, you will either beat or scold me. If I don't sue you for rape, you will be cheap. What qualifications are a beast qualified to fight with me for the money my brother earned with his life!"
These words are too lethal. Jianchuan didn't expect that Meihua would even want her face for money. He was so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. He fell to the ground all of a sudden and did not wake up after being sent to the hospital. The doctor said that the patient had high blood pressure and , which was severely stimulated and caused such a result.
Plum blossoms have now become a joke in the village, but they do not hinder her enjoyable life. My poor cousin!
