will not be updated today, so I will post a short story
(first post on this article: Yan Da’s chat box)
01
Every time I hear the child’s crying, Cuilan’s heart hurts as if it was cut by a knife.
She never thought that a 20-year-old daughter would die because of giving birth. The doctor told her what it was for amniotic fluid embolism, and they tried their best.
Cuilan doesn't know what disease she is. She only knows that her only baby daughter is gone. She complains that the doctor failed to save her daughter, and she hates her son-in-law Fan Tong even more.
My daughter rolled on the ground with a stomachache. He was playing cards outside, but the neighbors heard the sound and called Cuilan's son, so they hurried over and took their daughter to the hospital.
The nurse opened the operating room door and told the family members who were anxiously waiting outside that when the mother was unable to do so, Cuilan couldn't believe it. Fan Tong rushed over when his daughter's body was pushed out.
If her man and his two sons were not dragged by her that day, Cuilan really wanted to beat Fan Tong to death. Her daughter had lost her life to give birth to him, and what did he do?
I was outside playing cards all night and I didn’t go home, and the phone was not reached. Why are you here to do at this time? Cuilan beat and scolded Fan Tong in the corridor of the hospital, calling him a human being, and shouting that he would pay his daughter back.
Fan Tong knew that he was in the wrong, so he lowered his head and did not speak, allowing Cuilan to punch and kick on him. But his appearance made Cuilan even more angry. She grabbed his arm and bitten hard, and blood smacked Cuilan's mouth. Fan Tong grinned in pain and hissed.
When Cuilan was pulled away, she stared at Fan Tong with blood red eyes, wishing she could tear his heart and peel him off. For the first time Fan Tong felt that Cuilan was so terrible.
02
After her daughter was buried, Cuilan took the child home.
Fan Tong also wanted to take his son away. Cuilan stared at him and asked, "What are you taking him away?" Why are you taking it away? How do you raise a child as an older man? It’s not enough to kill my daughter, but you still think that my grandson is not easy to live.
Fan Tong wanted to say something else, but shut up. Although Cuilan's words were not nice, her grandson was his biological son, so he could not treat him well.
But Cuilan is right, he can't take care of children alone, let alone a newborn baby.
Cuilan regretted it. She should have been more determined at the beginning. If she could stop her daughter from marrying Fan Tong, or prevent her from giving birth to the child, this would not have happened.
My daughter has been weak since childhood. During the pregnancy test, the doctor said that the risk of having a child is high if the body is not properly conditioned. Cuilan really hates her indecisiveness at the time.
The nineteen-year-old daughter fell in love with the handsome Fan Tong at first sight. His family is poor, Cuilan doesn't care. He has no father and depends on his old mother. Cuilan is not relieved. The only thing she doesn't like is Fan Tong. This young man has nothing except a good face and is eloquent.
She tried her best to persuade her daughter, and even forced her to death, but her daughter didn't listen. She was too young and had no ability to recognize people.
Cuilan has two sons and only one daughter. She felt as painful as a baby. Unexpectedly, her spoiledness made her willful. She even had a big fight with Cuilan and said that she would marry Fan Tong no matter what.
03
Fan Tong married her daughter and didn't ask for a bride price. Cuilan also gave her a lot of dowry. She felt sorry for her daughter. She didn't want her daughter to go over and endure hardships.
What made Cuilan feel a little relieved was that Fan Tong was not bad to her daughter. Seeing her daughter looking happy every time she came home, Cuilan also advised herself to accept Fan Tong slowly.
When his daughter was found pregnant, Cuilan solved her objection, saying that firstly, her daughter was still young and should have another child a few years later. Secondly, her couple's conditions still have difficulty raising a child. More importantly, her daughter is in poor health and needs to be raised for a few more years.
Fan Tong said that it is because she is young that she can restore her figure now. When her daughter heard that she could restore her figure as soon as possible, she was a little hesitant and immediately changed her mind. She wanted to give birth earlier.
Cuilan didn't tell her daughter, because Fan Tong asked the doctor privately, and the doctor said she was pregnant with a boy, so she asked her to give birth to this child.
Cuilan felt very heartbroken. Fan Tong was really as she thought before, and was not a man who could rely on. However, her daughter did not listen to her, but was instead coaxed by Fan Tong's sweet words.
Now I think about it. If Cuilan had not been lucky enough to force her daughter to get rid of the child, nothing would have happened.
Just when Cuilan was regretting, the child in the cradle started to cry. Cuilan looked at the child in front of her, picked it up and put it on her face and kissed her hard a few times. Good child, grandma will raise you well.
04
One day after half a year, Fan Tong came to the door and carried two boxes of things in his hand.
Cuilan's heartbeat. Fan Tong had been here several times and always came over empty-handedly. This time he suddenly brought a gift to the door, afraid that something would happen.
Sure enough, Fan Tong proposed to take the child away, and Cuilan was the same reason. He was a big man who couldn't take care of the child. His mother was old and his eyes couldn't see him. It would be better for the child to follow her.
Fan Tong smiled and said, "Mom, you are right. I have found another mother for the child. She will definitely take good care of the child. Besides, the child's surname is Fan. He is my son. I can't bother you all the time!"
After hearing Fan Tong's words, Cuilan was so angry that her face turned green. She smiled so well. She said that every sentence was pressing Cuilan, and she even said that she had found a mother for the child, but she had found a woman herself.
She is really worth it for her daughter. The man who was about to marry to death was not cold, so he was in a hurry to find a woman, and now he still wants to take the child back.
Without a daughter, this child is Cuilan’s thought, but Fan Tong’s words are correct. This child is indeed his son, and she really can’t raise him like this, especially now he has a reason to take the child back.
Cuilan said that if you found someone for your child to be a mother, I have to see you first, otherwise I would not be at ease to give the child to her. If it is a vicious stepmother and the child suffers, I don’t want to.
Fan Tong said you were thinking too much. My son dared to treat him badly. I broke her leg and realized what she said. Fan Tong stopped and glanced at Cuilan and said, "Mom, my own son, what are you worried about?"
As he said that, he took the child from Cuilan and said I'll take it back now. The woman is already living at home. Don't worry, she is virtuous.
Cuilan wants to say something else, but Fan Tong has already walked to the door with his child in his arms, and suddenly turned his head to Cuilan and said, "If you miss the child, you can come to see him at any time."
Cuilan's hands were still stretched out in the air, and Fan Tong had disappeared with her child.
05
Cuilan forced herself to do it. For the sake of her grandson, she decided to lower her head and go to Fan Tong's house. She missed her children, but she thought too much.
Cuilan sat down and looked at her grandson. The woman chatted with Cuilan on her own. Her name is Yueru. Her parents' home is far away from here. She has lived with her uncle and her family since she was a child.
My aunt has always despised her, so she found someone to tell her about such a family. Although Fan Tong is pretty, her family is poor and a half-year-old child, she disagreed at first.
Although she has bad conditions and has some flaws in herself, she also wants to pursue her own happiness. She does not value the appearance of a man. She just wants to find someone who works hard and is good to herself. She wants to have a home of her own.
But my uncle and aunt called her an insatiable thing. Fan Tong's appearance, not to mention that even ordinary girls may not be worthy of her family. If it weren't for the poor family conditions and a child, how could it be Yueru's turn?
Yueru gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement. She only hoped to marry Fan Tong well, he could be nice to her, she was willing to treat him wholeheartedly, and she was willing to treat his son as his biological child.
Fan Tong did not give a dowry, and Yueru did not bring a dowry. Her aunt asked her to keep all the money she earned from working outside over the years, saying that her life after marriage would be Yueru's own. It depends on Yueru's ability after she was married.
She and Fan Tong did not hold a wedding either, but just got a certificate. Fan Tong told her that when the life is better in the future, he would give her the wedding. Yue Ru said that she didn't care about the wedding. As long as she could have a stable home, she would be content.
Cuilan felt a little sad after hearing Yueru's words. This child had a pitiful life experience, but he was kind-hearted. Cuilan actually felt a little distressed for her.
Cuilan felt a little sorry for her. What she wanted sounds simple, but Fan Tong may not be able to give it to her. But she couldn't tell Yue Ru that Fan Tong was not good, so she asked her to leave him, and the child still needed her care.
Besides, maybe Fan Tong is different from before. He will be nice to his children and Yueru, so that their family can live a happy life.
Cuilan's daughter had just been away for half a year, and Fan Tong felt resentful when he married another woman because he took the child away and was worried, regretful and complained. At that moment, this feeling was not so strong. Cuilan's heart became soft because of Yueru's words.
Before leaving, Yueru told Cuilan, "Aunt, come more if you have nothing to do, and my children and I welcome you." Cui nodded and said, "I will do it, you should take good care of yourself."
06
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the child is about to go to elementary school. Cuilan found that Fan Tong is still not motivated and has no responsibility.
In recent years, Yueru not only takes the land to farm, but also takes time to do some small work to earn money to subsidize her family. But Fan Tong goes here for a while and goes there for a while. She hasn't stayed anywhere for half a year. She spends a lot of travel expenses, but she doesn't earn much money.
That day Cuilan bought a few sets of clothes to send to the child. Before she entered the door, she heard the child's crying. She ran and pushed open the door and saw that Fan Tong was beating Yueru.
Yueru covered her face without saying a word, and Fan Tong knocked the broom on her back one after another. Cuilan threw down her things and ran over to pull Fan Tong away.
Fan Tong turned his head and saw Cuilan, with red eyes and said, "What are you doing? I'm not your daughter." Cuilan said you can't beat anyone, but you can't scare the child. Yueru is not my daughter, but my grandson's mother.
Fan Tong threw down the broom and entered the house angrily, and closed the door with a loud bang.
Cuilan walked over and helped Yue Ru up, who was squatting on the ground, and asked her what was wrong. Yue Ru choked and shook her head, without saying a word. The child ran over and pulled Cuilan's clothes and cried, "Grandma, my dad asked for money from my mom, but my mom beat him without giving it to him."What is
? If a big man asks for money from a woman, but he doesn’t go out to earn money to support his family, how can he get his face? Cuilan shouted at the house, and Fan Tong fell and beat and scolded in the house.
Yueru said to you, it’s a joke. This is not the first time he has hit me.
What? Yueru's words shocked Cuilan. How could such a good wife Fan Tong be so cruel? She sighed and said, "What a joke I'm not an outsider. Seeing you like this, my aunt feels sorry."
She pulled the child and Yueru to go out, saying that she would go home with me first and let him think about it alone.
htmlMarch Yueru pushed Cuilan's hand away and said, "Aunt, he hit me not just because I didn't give him money." Cuilan was stunned for a moment, and walked forward and said something else was wrong."
htmlMarch Ru said timidly, he thought I could not have children, and he wanted to have another son, saying that if he had too many sons, he would not be bullied in the village.
bullshit! Cuilan shouted, "What kind of bastard logic? Is he bullied because his son is few? It's not that he has no ability to be looked down upon. If he has the ability to make money, let alone a son, he is just a bachelor. I guess it's too late to flatter him."
However, Cuilan asked Yueru in a low voice, have you ever checked in the hospital? Is there really a problem with her body?
htmlMarch Yueru nodded and said that she had checked it two years ago, which was my problem, but at that time he said that as long as I had nothing, he didn't care, he already had a son anyway, so I don't know how to regret it during this period.
Cuilan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Fan Tong was really a beast. He was just looking for reasons to vent his unhappiness. Looking at Yue Ru's face full of injuries, Cuilan's heart seemed to be poked. If her daughter was still alive, would Fan Tong do this too?
Cuilan asked her to sit down first, went to the kitchen to lay two bowls of noodles neatly, and asked Yueru and her children to eat the meal first. Before leaving, she stuffed a few hundred yuan into Yueru's hand and said that if he wanted it again, he would give it to him first and never let him hit you again.
htmlMarch Ru refused to let it go, Cuilan said, "I will take it, my children will regard you as their biological mothers over the years, and I will treat you as their biological daughter, and I will feel uncomfortable seeing you like this." Yueru took Cuilan's hand and said, "Aunt, thank you."
Cuilan has always wanted to tell Yue Ru that she wanted to thank her for her daughter, but today she thanked her instead. Cuilan grinned, but tears fell.
She suddenly pulled Yueru's hand and said, "Good child, it really doesn't work. You divorce him, go!" Don’t be too troubled by yourself. You are still young, and I will find a way to take away the child.
07
Cuilan was thinking privately how to let Fan Tong let go of her child and how to persuade Yue Ru to divorce Fan Tong. When she mentioned this that day, she still felt a little reluctant to let go of Yue Ru.
This child finally had a home of his own. He cherished it like what, but unfortunately he encountered such a bad thing as Fan Tong.
Cuilan understood Yueru's reluctance and felt sorry for her current situation. Think about how she would have let her daughter suffer this, she should have taken her home long ago!
Cuilan thought of her daughter again. She didn't know whether it was worth it or whether she should be grateful for her. Because of her children and Yueru over the years, she found that the pain of losing her daughter had become much lighter without realizing it.
After thinking about it for a few days, Cuilan had no good idea. She could only scold God for not opening her eyes. Why did a person like Fan Tong first marry her young and beautiful baby daughter and the kind and virtuous Yue Ru? Why did her daughter lose her life at a young age, and the poor Yue Ru still tortured by her?
Fan Tong happened the next night when Cuilan scolded God.
That day he drank with a few friends from other villages. When he rode a motorcycle home in the middle of the night, he fell into a ditch next to the road because of his mind. When he was discovered the next day, he was already exhausted.
08
Yueru and her child were lying beside Fan Tong's body and cried to death.
Cuilan took her son to help Yueru deal with Fan Tong's funeral, and took care of her and the child at home for a few days.
That day Yueru spoke to Cuilan, Aunt, thank you, thank you for your hard work these days, go home and have a good rest, I'm fine.
Cuilan comforted Yue Ru a few words, wanting to take the child away first, and said that she would come to see her in a few days. Yue Ru nodded and agreed, but the child refused to leave, saying that he would not go anywhere and wanted to guard her mother and take care of her.
htmlMarch Yueru and Cuilan were both moved by the child. Yueru has not loved him for these years. This child is much better than his father. He knows that he is at least responsible.
Cuilan threw away the child's hand and said, "Let him accompany you." I'll go home first. I haven't been back for several days. I don't know what the chaos is like at home.
When he got home, Cuilan and her husband and two sons discussed that Fan Tong's blind mother was gone last year, and now he is no longer there. Yue Ru may leave, and their family will continue to raise this child.
Fan Tong's family had nothing at first, so they asked Yueru to deal with the land and houses, and let her take away the money for the sale, and then find someone to marry her. Their family will go to see her off at that time, and thank her for the child. Everyone nodded in agreement.
A few days later Cuilan went again. Yueru was already busy cooking in the kitchen. Seeing that she was in good spirits, Cuilan felt relieved. She asked Yueru what plans she had and when she planned to deal with her family affairs.
htmlMarch Yueru asked with wide eyes, haven’t everything at home been handled? What plan can she have? It’s just to cheer up and raise the child well and live a life!
Cuilan said that Yueru Fan Tong is gone now, you have no obligation to raise your child, you have to plan for yourself, I will take the child away, you can sell the things in this family and exchange them for money and go home, and find someone to marry in a few days.
Yueru said to Aunt, this is my home, where else can I go back? I have a relationship with my child and have long regarded him as my biological child. I am willing to raise him. If you don’t believe me, will I treat him well in the future?
Cuilan shook her head and said no, it’s not that my aunt doesn’t believe you, my aunt doesn’t bear it, you should look for your own happiness, you are only in your twenties!
htmlMarch Yueru stood at the kitchen door with flour on her hands. She looked up at the sky and said, "I don't go anywhere, I have no place to go, I don't have a mother, and there is no home besides this."
Cuilan's nose felt sore. She finally understood the reluctance in her eyes when she persuaded Yue Ru to divorce. She really regarded this place as home. Yes, she had no place to go, and her uncle's family was not her parents' home.
Good daughter! Cuilan said to Yueru, if you don’t dislike me, you can call me mom in the future. My home is your parents’ home. No matter what decisions you make in the future, I will support you. You are my own daughter.
htmlMarch eyes were filled with tears, her smile was warm and soft in the sunset. Cuilan heard her shouting to herself: Mom!
