MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 84 Parents' past
Seeing that Mother Lin was so angry, Lin Wei was a little afraid to tell her that the letter was actually written by the wife who was married to her grandfather. And after scolding Zongfa, Mother Lin also remembered and asked, "Why did he write to you?"
Lin Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know, Zong Shao only read the first letter. After reading the old shígG Dujia, he was in a bad mood, and he didn't tell me the content. He only said that future letters from this address should not be accepted. Just go back."
"It should be returned to him!" Mother Lin said bitterly, and added, "Xiao Zong still has a conscience and is much stronger than his father."
Although Lin Wei didn't have a good impression of Zong's father through the attitude of her mother and Zong Shao, but after all, she was an elder. She didn't know how to answer this, and paused for a moment to ask: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law divorced because of Is Zong Shao's father sorry for his mother?"
Mother Lin snorted coldly, "I'm more than sorry!"
"What the **** did he do?" Lin Wei waited for a while, but she had no choice but to ask again. After asking her mother if she didn't want to say anything, she said, "You saw it too, they wrote letters every once in a while, and Zong Shao kept going. If they don't come back, maybe they will come to the island one day, I don't know anything, and when people come, I don't know how to receive them?"
"Reception? Just call it out!" Lin Mu frowned, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "I originally thought that although you and Xiao Zong are married, his parents have already divorced, and I am my in-laws. Those who only recognize Xing Lan, don't associate with that bastard, there is no need to let you know about these messes."
Lin Wei asked, "That one is Zong Shao's father anyway, can you not associate with him, I am a daughter-in-law, can we still not recognize him?"
It's not that Mother Lin doesn't understand the world, it's just that when the two children get married, their best friend is still alive. With her around, that person has no face to disturb them. After her friend died, she also worried for a while, but she didn't find him, so she let it go until today.
Thinking of her daughter's words, Mother Lin sighed and said, "This matter is a long story."
Lin's mother's real name, Zhang Erni, grew up with Zong Shao's mother, Chen Xinglan, and Zong Shao's father, Zong Ping. Their parents owned the same landlord's land.
The Zong family was not a tenant farmer, they had their own land, but even those who had land in those days did not have a good time.
Because the land is heavily taxed, and the top manager changes every year, even in the first half of the year, this person is in charge, and the other person calls in the second half of the year. It is common to collect taxes twice a year. Many farmers with self-cultivation land were crushed by high taxes and were forced to sell their land and become tenant farmers, as was the case with the clan.
But the Zong family was even worse, because Zong Ping's father limped during this period and limped while walking. Landlords don't rent land for charity, but to make money. A able-bodied person and a lame man are of course willing to rent the land to the former, and the clan can hardly even be a tenant farmer.
The reason why I said almost was because someone helped to intercede, and this person was Chen Xinglan's father.
Although the Chen family is also a tenant farmer, Chen Xinglan's father studied with Mr. Private School for two years in the early years, and knew some words. In addition, he was upright and helpful. He was very prestige among the tenant farmers, so he could also get along with the stewards of the landlord's family. talk.
He had known Zong Ping's father before, and when he saw that his life was difficult, he helped him to say a few words, so that he could have land and not sell his children.
Father Chen not only helped the Zong family to land, but also helped them build a grass hut next to his house. The two officially became neighbors, and Chen Xinglan and Zong Ping also got to know each other.
It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. Zong Ping’s father couldn’t get good treatment when he injured his leg. The lame leg was often in unbearable pain. Unprepared, he fell directly into the ditch, his head hit the stone in the ditch, and he died.
Zong Ping's mother was already ill. After her husband died, she failed to be a mother and fell ill directly. Before his death, Zong Ping's mother and Chen father proposed to let his son into the Chen family, only to ask them to raise him.
Father Chen agreed to bring Zong Ping up, but he did not agree to join the family. Only at the request of Zong Ping's mother, he arranged baby kisses for the two children, saying that they would get married when they were of age.
So Zong Ping lived in Chen's house, and Chen Xinglan had a child-raising husband since then.
Lin Wei asked, "How was their relationship back then?"
"Of course it would be good, don't you think Xiao Zong looks handsome?" Mother Lin asked suddenly, seeing her daughter nodding, she continued, "Zong Ping looked more handsome than him when he was young, then a little girl of the same age in our village would not I don't envy Xing Lan."
"What about his mother-in-law?"
"Also, if he treats Xinglan badly, everyone won't be so envious, and Xinglan won't wait for him for so many years." Lin Mu said, and lowered her eyes, but now that she thinks about it, she can't tell who he is. When is it really good to be good to Chen Xinglan, or for the sake of kindness, I have to be good to her.
"My mother-in-law waited for him for many years?"
Mother Lin nodded and continued, "When we were seventeen..."
When they were seventeen years old, Shicheng came to join the People's Liberation Army. Zong Ping was greatly encouraged by seeing it. When he returned home, he told Chen Xinglan that he wanted to join the army.
Zong Ping's decision, Chen Xinglan has always supported unconditionally, and even wanted to join the army.
But Chen's father and Chen's mother resolutely opposed it. Although they respected the People's Liberation Army, they did not want their daughter to take this risk. The same is true of Zong Ping. They are not young, and the Chen family is optimistic about the future and is ready to let them get married.
The Chen family made a scene because of this. Mother Lin didn't know the process, but she knew the final result.
Zong Ping left, but Chen Xinglan stayed.
In the first half year of Zong Ping's departure, he still had a letter from his family sent back, but gradually there was no news, and he didn't know his life or death. When Chen Xinglan reached her age, her parents wanted to give her another marriage, but she refused and wanted to wait for Zong Ping.
This wait is ten years, and she waited from seventeen to twenty-seven.
"We all thought he was dead, but he finally came back. That was the first time I saw Xing Lan cry so hard." Mother Lin recalled.
Lin Wei calculated Zong Shao's date of birth and asked, "They got married after he came back?"
"Well, but after getting married, Zong Ping left again. It will not be so peaceful. He has to go to war."
When talking about those things, Mother Lin kept her brows furrowed, but a smile appeared on her face, "Speaking of which, Xiao Zong liked you when you were young, and every time Xing Lan brought him to our house to play, He grabbed your hand and refused to let it go, and even cried when he left."
Lin Wei didn't remember these things at all: "Is there any?"
"Of course, but you were young, so you may not remember." Mother Lin said with a smile, "It's just to see how well you two are, so I discussed with Xinglan and ordered a baby kiss for you."
But they were just joking at the time, and no one took it seriously, but they didn't want this marriage to happen after many years.
Lin Wei muttered: "I really don't remember, and he probably doesn't remember either."
"At that time, he was also young. He was two years old and less than three years old. He followed Xing Lan to the north. He didn't come back for more than ten years until Xing Lan got divorced."
After Mother Lin talked for so long, it was finally time to get to the point. Lin Wei asked, "Why did they divorce?"
Mother Lin continued: "Not long after Xing Lan went to the capital with the army, Zong Ping said that a comrade-in-arms had passed away, and the comrade-in-arms's wife had only given birth to a daughter, and it was very difficult to live in her hometown, so she discussed with her whether she could bring someone to live at home for a period of time. , and then move out after she arranges a job."
"and then?"
"Xing Lan heard that the deceased had a fatal relationship with Zong Ping before her life, so she agreed and took her to her home. Zong Ping arranged a job for that person, and also tried to find a way to get their unit to divide a room for them. "
Up to this point, what Zong Shao's father did was reasonable, but Lin Wei felt that since her mother had focused on the mother and daughter, it must not have been in vain, so she continued to listen.
"Xing Lan is soft-hearted. Seeing how pitiful their orphans and widowed mothers are, she takes good care of them. After they move out, she often invites them to play at home." Speaking of this, Lin Mu's face showed a trace of disgust, "Zong Ping that The **** lied to her, that woman is not a comrade-in-arms wife at all, no, no, she is married to his old comrade-in-arms, but the reason why he helped her is not for the old comrade-in-arms, but because it is his Old lover!"
Even though several years have passed and Chen Xinglan has passed away, Mother Lin couldn't help but grit her teeth when she remembered how painful she was when she talked about those things: "Xinglan has waited for him for so many years, but he is good, and he never forgets it during the battle. Let's talk about love! That year when he came back to marry Xing Lan, we all thought he was here to find Xing Lan to continue the relationship, but it was not. He thought that Xing Lan was married long ago, and he came back to pay respect to his parents. , by the way, make it clear about the previous marriage, so that you can marry someone else."
Lin Wei asked, "Then how did he end up marrying my mother-in-law?"
"Seeing that Xinglan has waited for him for ten years, I dare not say it. If it weren't for Xinglan's parents, he might have died long ago. If he dared to say that he was with others, he would not be stabbed in the spine for the rest of his life!" Mother Lin scolded, "That's a hypocrite! For the sake of her own reputation, she has harmed Xinglan for the rest of her life!"
Although Lin Wei had never met Zong Shao's father and was not sure whether he was a hypocrite or not, she agreed with Lin's mother's words. Zong Shao's father had indeed harmed his mother for the rest of his life.
Twenty-seven years old is not too young, but if Zong Shao's mother can think about it, it is not impossible to find someone to marry. Maybe the person he is looking for is not as handsome or as capable as Zong Ping, but at least the other person will not have someone else in his heart, and Zong Shao's mother will not be deceived for a lifetime.
It's just that she is a junior after all, so she couldn't follow her mother Lin to scold Zong Shao's father, so she asked, "How did my mother-in-law find out about this? Could it be that their old love has rekindled?"
"Xing Lan heard their conversation. The woman accused Zong Ping, saying that he promised to marry him when he came back. If he hadn't repented temporarily, he wouldn't have become a widow in order to marry someone else in one breath. Xing Lan doesn't sound right. , I asked Zong Ping, and he admitted it."
"And then they divorced?"
"It didn't happen at that time, but something happened later. Xing Lan didn't say it. I don't know the old shígG Dujia. Anyway, after half a year, the two got divorced. I think 80% of the time, otherwise, why did they just get divorced on the front foot, and the two **** on the back foot got the certificate?"
Lin Wei heard the meaning of Mother Lin's words: "You mean that Zong Shao's stepmother is that woman?"
"What kind of stepmother is she!" Mother Lin felt that something was wrong and asked, "Do you know Zong Shao's stepmother?"
Lin Wei explained honestly: "Actually, she sent the first letter, and Zong Shao didn't open the letter at the back, but looking at the words on the envelope, she should have written it."
The letter was written by Zong Shao's father, and Lin's mother was very angry, and she would stand up directly: "She destroys other people's families, and has the face to write to you? Then you shouldn't return the letter, just tear it up. Just drop it!"
Lin Wei said, "How about tearing it up? She didn't see the returned letter by then. Maybe she thought Zong Shao read the letter, but didn't reply."
After thinking about it, Mother Lin nodded and said, "Anyway, neither of those couples is a good thing, so don't interact with them."
Lin Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't we communicate with them? We haven't communicated with them before."
"Then keep it up, don't deal with them in the future, send a letter and send it back, and call back when someone comes. Anyway, seeing how Zong Ping has ignored you for so many years, there is no Zong Shao son in his eyes. "Mother Lin pouted.
Although she thought that the letter was sent by Zong Ping, her first reaction was how he had the guts to write the letter, and she didn't care that Zong Ping cared about his two grandchildren, but she was still very angry when she thought about his neglect for so many years.
And although Lin Wei didn't like the public in name and didn't want to interact with them, she felt a little helpless when she heard her mother beat them out one by one: "I see."
It is estimated that it is impossible to fight, and it is almost the same to invite people out.
But like Mother Lin said, Zong Shao's father has ignored them all these years. Whether it's their marriage or the birth of their two children, he doesn't say anything. Even the letter sent by Zong Shao's stepmother was written by Zong Shao's stepmother. , It can be seen that he has no feelings for Zong Shao.
Therefore, Lin Wei felt that it was unlikely that Zong Shao's father would come to the door. As for the stepmother, she was an irrelevant person, so she didn't need to care.
Lin Wei was thinking about it when she heard her mother say: "Although Zong Ping is not a good bitch, but Zong Shao is a good child. Xing Lan returned to Shicheng after the divorce from that bitch. , because I didn't know how to tell Zong Shao, so I kept dragging it off, and when he got home from vacation and found out about it, he quarreled with that slut, and that day he packed up and came to Shicheng to find Xinglan."
In the first half of the sentence, Lin Wei didn't realize that something was wrong. When Mother Lin finished speaking, how could she feel that this sentence was familiar, as if she had heard someone say it before, so she asked, "How could he not know about such a big thing as parents' divorce? ?"
"At that time, he had just entered the military academy and was studying abroad."
Lin Wei was stunned, turned her head and asked, "When he came to see Aunt Lan, was Aunt Lan sick and hospitalized?" Aunt Lan is Chen Xinglan. Before she married Zong Shao, she used to call her that, but after marriage, she called her again. Mom, when I talk to people about her, it's my mother-in-law.
"How can I remember what happened several years ago?" Even though she said that, Mother Lin tried her best to recall, "But I remember that it was winter, and when the New Year was approaching, why are you asking this?"
Mother Lin didn't remember, but Lin Wei remembered it very clearly. When the Chinese New Year was approaching that year, her mother-in-law did get sick, and her mother took her to the hospital to visit.
It was also the first time she heard about divorce in reality.
