Chapter 147 My Husband is a Foolish Filial Man
Chapter 147 My Husband is a Foolish Filial Man
In the 90s, houses were still allocated.
Zhang Yu and her husband, Guo Liang, were given a two-bedroom apartment by their employer. They lived in one room, and their two children shared the other, a separate room.
That day, Guo Liang suddenly said that his parents, sister-in-law, and two nephews came home together.
Zhang Yu looked unhappy. She hadn't contacted her mother-in-law and her family in over a decade. She hadn't even visited them during any of the holidays. It was simply because of the postpartum period.
She gave birth in the morning, and the old witch made her work in the fields in the afternoon. She didn't even take care of the baby, and she didn't even have egg tea during the entire confinement period.
She also said, "What woman hasn't been through that time? Only she is spoiled. With such a poor family, how could they afford to provide her with nutrition?"
Zhang Yu ate a lot of rice with tears for a whole month. As soon as she finished her confinement, she moved back to the staff dormitory without even looking after her child.
Isn't it just relying on women's love for their children to control people? I just don't believe that you, the Guo family, can watch your own grandson starve to death?
At that time, people in rural areas believed that having many children would bring more blessings. The more sons one had, the more confident one would be.
But having said that, Zhang Yu still went home every day, squeezed the milk and left, never staying at home for any longer.
Without Zhang Yu, the free slave, the Guo family was in turmoil. The old woman, burdened with the daily pains of raising two older grandchildren and a newborn, was soon exhausted. She sent her youngest son to take his wife home to live.
Zhang Yu actually wanted to divorce, but her husband disagreed, and her family also disagreed. They said that if she dared to divorce, they would go to her workplace every day to make trouble and make her lose her job.
Finally, Zhang Yu proposed a condition: rent a house outside and never return to her in-laws' home. Of course, if Guo Liang wanted to go home and be filial to his mother, that was his business, and she would not interfere.
It was also the first time that Guo Liang saw Zhang Yu's cold and cold side, so he agreed.
After that, Zhang Yu lived a quiet life for more than ten years.
Now, they are coming?
What to do when the in-laws come? Of course, you have to entertain them well.
Potato stewed with chicken, with only a few pieces of chicken scattered around; green pepper and shredded pork, with the shredded pork reduced to a tiny bit of minced meat...
The old witch was indeed angry, but she managed to hold it in. "Second brother, your eldest brother's child should be in high school now, so he can live with you. Since you graduated from college, you can also help him with his homework."
Seeing Guo Liang about to agree, Zhang Yu directly refused, "Don't all high school students live on campus? Besides, our house is so small, where can we even accommodate them?"
"Second brother, listen to this. Is this how your wife talks to me, an old woman? No manners at all."
"Don't talk nonsense. I treat others the way they treat me! How did you treat me before? I remember it clearly. Our family conditions are like this. How are we going to live with two grown men living in our house?"
Guo Liang also shouted angrily, "Alright, stop talking about it. It happened so many years ago, and you still remember it. I didn't realize before why you hold such a grudge? My eldest brother paid for my college education. My two nephews are in high school and will take the college entrance exam soon. What's wrong with them living in our house? They own half of this house."
"Then how are you going to live? You're going to sleep on the street. Your eldest brother paid for your college education. If you're grateful and want to repay him, that's your business. Don't bring me into this. Don't think I don't know how much money you've spent on those two kids over the years. You've never cared so much about your own children."
The quarrel between the two became more and more intense, and with the old witch and her two nephews adding fuel to the fire, Guo Liang accidentally killed Zhang Yu.
"I want to stay away from that family!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
Honestly, Guo Liang is a reasonable person, as long as his family isn't involved. He doesn't smoke or drink, is ambitious, and even does housework. Those who don't know him well might think he's a truly wonderful man.
Once his family is involved, his wife and children have to take a back seat. He doesn't consider their feelings at all.
In his mind, the person who marries into his family must be loyal to him, be as filial as he is, and be willing to serve his parents.
Bah! Isn't this moral kidnapping?
So on this day, when Guo Liang said that his mother, sister-in-law, and two nephews would come to his house the next day, Sheng Jiang did not say anything, but directly filed for divorce.
"What do you say?"
"I want a divorce!" Sheng Jiang repeated word for word.
"Is it really that serious? My mom and the others are coming over. You actually want to divorce me?"
"Is it really that serious? Guo Liang, we've been married for so many years. How much money have you spent on your family? Most of your monthly salary goes to supporting your mother and your sister-in-law's family, right?"
Guo Liang said unnaturally, "That's my mother. They are all my family. I can't just ignore them, right? Besides, if it weren't for my eldest brother, I might not be able to go to college, let alone find this job and get a house."
"That's your family's business. I've turned a blind eye to it for so many years, but that doesn't mean I know nothing. If we divorce, I don't want your house anymore. You can give it to whoever you want to live in it. I have no right to interfere. But if we're not divorced, do you dare to bring them to live in your house and try?"
Guo Liang was so angry that he wanted to hit Sheng Jiang, but Sheng Jiang kicked him and broke his waist.
A paraplegic, how will your family treat you?!
Sheng Jiang temporarily helped Guo Liang return to normal. She divorced him, took away all the family savings, quit her job at the factory, and moved south with her two children.
Zhang Yu's two children are both good at studying and have just started junior high school.
In the previous life, the children came home from school and found their mother dead. They were so angry that they called the police. However, the Guo family insisted that it was a family matter, and Guo Liang did not receive any punishment.
Afterwards, Guo Liang enrolled his two nephews in many training courses for their studies.
With a few more people eating free meals at home, Guo Liang's income was insufficient, so he forced his two children to drop out of school and stay home. The two children lived a mediocre life.
Sheng Jiang took them to the south and rented a house. After settling down, he started a clothing business. Opportunities abounded in the south at that time. He quickly made his first fortune and sent the children to boarding school.
Later he opened a clothing company and made a lot of money.
In my free time, I just watch melons online.
Guo's mother arrived home with her eldest daughter-in-law and two grandsons. When she discovered her second daughter-in-law wasn't home, she immediately yelled at Guo Liang, "Where's your wife? Your mother-in-law is here, and you didn't even come out to greet her? You're so uneducated."
Guo Liang whispered, "Mom, stop talking. We're divorced."
"What? Is this damn woman crazy? After getting divorced, how can she, a second-hand person, marry again?"
Then she changed the subject, "But it's better to get a divorce. I've had enough of her over the years. It was just a small matter during the confinement period, right? She hasn't even bothered to visit me, her mother-in-law, for over ten years! What other daughter-in-law is as vindictive as she is?"
Mrs. Guo asked, "Liangzi, if you get divorced, who will own the house?"
"It belongs to me."
Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the house was still under Guo Liang's name, she would be able to get it sooner or later.
"What about the money?"
“It All Belongs to Her”
"What?" Guo's mother and sister-in-law screamed at the same time. "If you give all the money to her, how will our family survive? Besides, why should you give it all to her?"
Guo Liang whispered, "Mom, sister-in-law, I haven't spent much money on the family over the years. It's not easy for her to raise two children alone, so it doesn't matter if I give her some money."
"How can it be the same? After the divorce, she's no longer a member of our family. How could she take away so much money? Where did she go? Mom and I will go find her and get the money back!"
"I do not know either."
Guo's mother and sister-in-law ran to the gate of Guo Liang's unit and asked around about Zhang Yu's whereabouts, which made people in the unit look at them strangely.
"Zhang Yu resigned and is no longer with the company."
"Resigned? Then do you know where she went?"
"do not know"
Guo's mother sat on the ground and began to cry. "My life is so hard! I raised two sons with great difficulty. My eldest son died in an accident in the coal mine. My youngest son finally graduated from college, but he married an unfilial wife. After all these years of marriage, she has never returned home. Now she is divorcing my son and taking away all our savings. How can we, the young and old, survive? Is there any justice in the world?"
Duoduo, who was hiding in the crowd, shouted, "Auntie, everyone knows your second son's wife. Ever since she entered your house, you've never given her a good face. She does everything at home and outside, serving you like the empress dowager. But when she gave birth, you didn't even give her egg tea or brown sugar water."
"What do you know? My family was so poor back then that we couldn't afford these things. If we had money, who wouldn't be willing to spend it on their wife?"
"Isn't that right? Your son is a factory manager, and his monthly salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers. We don't believe that our family can't afford brown sugar."
Duoduo added, "Besides, your second son's wife just gave birth this morning, and you sent her to work in the fields this afternoon. Even the cows at home are known to rest for two or three days after giving birth. Do you even treat her as a human being?"
"Who are you?" Mrs. Guo saw that something was wrong. "Do you think you have the right to comment on our family affairs?"
"Exactly. Didn't all of us women go through that period? Why is she the most special?"
"If that's the case, then don't complain about your daughter-in-law not coming home to see you for more than ten years.
And your second son, after all these years of marriage, has spent almost all his salary on you, right? Everyone at the factory knows this. Sister Zhang raised both of her children practically by herself? Is she the sole payer of the family's living expenses?
So when your son divorced, your daughter-in-law only took the savings and left the house to your son. Aren’t you still not satisfied?”
The way people around looked at Guo's mother changed.
Guo's mother and sister-in-law, who had originally wanted to ruin Zhang Yu's reputation, returned home in disgrace.
When I got home, I saw the two boys still playing, while Guo Liang was busy alone.
Seeing Mrs. Guo, Guo Guangzong and Guo Yaozu ran over and said, "Mom, I want to buy a game console. My classmates all have game consoles, but I haven't seen one yet. I want one too."
Mrs. Guo glanced at Guo Liang and pretended to be embarrassed. "What do you want? Don't you know what our family conditions are?"
“No, I want it.”
"If your father hadn't died early, leaving us three orphans and a widow, our lives would have been difficult. You would have had your share of hardship, too."
Guo's mother said, "Liangzi, do you have any money left? Buy one for them?"
"Mom, they're all going to high school. What if they get addicted to games and don't study hard?"
"No. I know what my two eldest grandsons are like. Besides, Liangzi, if your brother hadn't wanted to support you to go to college, it wouldn't have gone to the coal mine and wouldn't have been crushed to death..."
Guo Liang felt a headache listening to this. He had been hearing these words for over a decade. Every time they wanted money, they would bring up their deceased eldest brother. Looking at his mother, he couldn't say no.
The next day, he borrowed some money from his colleagues and bought game consoles for his nephews.
Mrs. Guo said, "Liangzi, how can this be so embarrassing?"
"It's okay, sister-in-law. As long as they are happy, that's all that matters."
"Thank you, uncle. When you are old, we will take care of you and see you to the end of your life."
"Yes, we will definitely not be like those ungrateful cousins who will give up your things without even looking back."
Guo Liang: Retirement care? To see you to the end of your life? Why does that sound so wrong?
Guo Liang earns a little over 400 yuan a month, which is enough for the family if they save a little.
Unfortunately, Guo Guangzong and Guo Yaozu were not good students in school. Their poor grades prevented them from attending high school and they ended up attending a vocational high school.
Many students in vocational high schools do not study, but instead fall in love, fight, and form gangs.
The Guo Guangzong brothers were used to being arrogant, and they even competed with the school bully for a girlfriend. As a result, they were beaten so hard that their teeth fell out and their faces were covered in blood. They were hospitalized for a long time and spent a lot of money, all of which was borrowed by Guo Liang.
Seeing that Guo Liang owed a lot of money, Sheng Jiang turned him into a paraplegic.
Well, the only person in the family who could make money fell, and the creditors came to the house every day to ask for money, and even splashed red paint on the door and wrote big words, which scared the Guo family so much that they dared not go out.
In the end, I sold the house and paid off the debt, but I had no money left, so I had to return to my hometown.
The Guo Guangzong brothers could no longer live a carefree life in the county town, and they took out their resentment on Guo Liang.
Guo's mother and sister-in-law were not very patient in serving him, as they felt that he was now a burden.
Guo Liang's body was often covered in a mixture of feces, urine, and farts, which was quite disgusting. He also hated himself for being a burden to everyone.
One day while he was sleeping, Ginger planted a memory in his mind.
In this memory, his eldest brother did not go to the coal mine at all, but went to gamble. He owed a large debt and was beaten to death by debt collectors.
His sister-in-law was terrified and ran home crying, telling her mother that she would have no way to live in the future and that the Guo family would be wiped out.
Guo's mother favored the eldest son and naturally would not let her two grandsons be left unattended, so she came up with an idea. She said that the eldest son went to the coal mine to earn money to support his schooling. In this way, every time he thought of the eldest son, he would feel guilty and would listen to her and take care of the eldest son's family.
Guo Liang woke up from his memory, trembling all over, and vomiting blood in anger.
He still had fantasies in his mind, so he went to ask Guo's mother, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Guo Liang finally understood how wrong he had been all those years. He had been completely wronged!
Because of this family of ungrateful people, his family was broken up.
Strong hatred supported him as he moved his body little by little to find the pesticide.
I have to thank this family for letting me live in the utility room. Otherwise, it would be really hard to find this pesticide.
He moved his body and poured the pesticide into the water tank.
The whole family set off in an orderly manner.
Sheng Jiang threw his soul into hell, then returned the body to Zhang Yu and left.
