Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

In the small courtyard, Xiao Xiangdong and Meng Xiaoman were cleaning pig intestines. This thing is delicious but difficult to clean. It needs to be cleaned vigorously with plant ash and flour.

When Xiao's mother arrived, she saw Meng Xiaoman pouring half a bowl of flour into the basin. "Damn it, what are you doing?" Xiao's mother took the bowl from her hand and cursed: "You You’re full, but you still have money to burn it? We can’t even afford white flour at home, so you pour this flour into the ashes of plants and trees. Are you so wasteful of food?”

"This is how the pig intestines need to be cleaned. Besides, isn't it just half a bowl of flour? I don't lack that." Meng Xiaoman said.

"You are not in need, our old Xiao family is in need. You don't know how your family is living. You have the spare money to buy flour, don't you know how to help the family?"

Xiao Xiangdong stopped scrubbing, scooped up a ladle of water, and rinsed his hands, "Mom, this money was bought with the money sent by Xiaoman's family. It is her own thing. It is her freedom to use it how she uses it. Can you Can't you stop worrying about her things?"

"Her things? She married into our Xiao family. Aren't her things the things of our Xiao family? Do I care about it? I don't care about it. She should also take it to be filial to me and your father! Look, there is her in the entire brigade. Is this how you treat your daughter-in-law? You don’t know how to be filial to your parents-in-law." Mother Xiao said loudly.

Forget about not caring about the family, and still eat alone. If I had known this earlier, it would have been better to keep it under my nose. I wanted her to experience the pain of being alone, but I didn't expect that she had the ability to become a popular and popular drinker here. My little life was so leisurely.

The last time she went to the market, some people in the village saw her buying five fishes at once and praised her for marrying a good, generous and wealthy daughter-in-law. She was really lucky.

But God knows, she waited until the day lilies were cold, and she didn't even see a single fish scale! Not to mention eating the fish she sent!

"Only a loving father requires a filial son. We will treat you the same way you and dad treat me and Xiangdong. Isn't this normal?" Meng Xiaoman said.

Xiao's mother: "There are no bad parents in the world. No matter what, his father and I have given him a life and support. He should repay it, and he will never be able to repay it in his lifetime."

Meng Xiaoman spread her hands: "Oh, then ask Xiao Xiangdong for repayment. You gave birth to him, but you didn't give birth to me."

Xiao Xiangdong: "Mom, when you and Dad reach age, I will support you in accordance with the law, but now, I don't want you to disturb our lives again. During the New Year, we will give you what we should honor you, but no matter how much we Not really. On New Year’s Day, please don’t come here again and make unreasonable troubles.”

"No, you should be filial to us now. Why should you support us when you are old? When you grow up and get married, you should support us." Xiao's mother said.

"Mom, if you keep messing around like this, I will ask the branch secretary and the team leader to separate the family. After the separation, I will give you pension money from now on. However, if anything happens to you and dad in the future, I will only pay for it. Your share will not be less than that of the eldest and second brothers, but don’t even think about taking any advantage from me."

Xiao's mother was a little moved when she heard him say that he would give pension money from now on, but she was a little resistant to the separation of the family. The fourth child is not married, and the fifth child is not married. Regardless of the family separation, more people earn work points, so that money can be saved, so that the bride price can be saved for the fourth child and the dowry can be saved for the fifth child.

But in the third family of two, Meng Xiaoman is the only one who earns work points, and he can't save much, so he might as well ask for filial piety money every year.

Mother Xiao thought a lot and decided to go home and discuss it with the old man. The main reason is that Meng Xiaoman is too difficult to deal with. Nothing can be extracted from her, so it is better to separate the family and ask for alimony.

As for her reputation, she had to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Taking advantage? I can't even get a pound of meat from you, so how can I take advantage of you? Since you brought the meat of the New Year's Pig yourself, you should also prepare the New Year's Eve dinner yourself and bring it over to eat. I don't have you at home. rations.”

After Xiao's mother finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and left.

Pig intestines have a strong odor and are suitable for strong flavors. Meng Xiaoman chose the braised method. In addition to the fat intestines, she also soaked two handfuls of soybeans and added them.

The marinated white rice was delicious, so she simmered the white rice again at noon. She was afraid that eating only meat would be too greasy, so she also made spicy stir-fried cabbage to go with it.

She planned to make the pig's trotters in a few days and give them to Mr. Chen. His leg was injured and it was time to mend it. He should be more attentive now and wait until he asks someone to do something later.

As for the ribs, she froze them and kept them for later eating.

That pound of pork belly was also wrapped in dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions, and entered their stomachs the next day.

On the twenty-eighth day of the year, Meng Xiaoman went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town again. The ticket given by Qi Hengyuan included a candy ticket. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a pound of white rabbit toffee and a bar of soap. She thought of dumplings for the New Year. Not yet, I bought two more pounds of pork belly.

When she got home, the postman came to deliver her package, which was sent by Meng's mother from Haishi.

This time the package was much smaller than the last time. In addition to the letter, ten dollars and a few tickets, there were two boxes of peach cakes.

Meng Xiaoman opened the letter. In the letter, Meng's mother said that as the Chinese New Year was approaching, her family's expenses were high and she couldn't afford much money. Moreover, her younger brother would graduate from middle school next year and she had to save money to buy him a job, otherwise he would have to go to the countryside to become an educated youth. Let her understand the difficulties at home and stop writing letters asking for money. Moreover, when she asked for money this time, Uncle Qian was very unhappy when he found out about it. He said that she was already married and could no longer rely on her mother's family. She didn't want to be angry with Uncle Qian. She also wanted to live a good life in Qian's family and asked her to be considerate of her. Stepmother’s Difficulties.

Meng Xiaoman smiled after reading the irony. Since she felt that it was better to be someone else's stepmother than to be her own mother, then let her do what she wanted. After a year, he would send a letter to her, writing her a divorce letter, and then ask her to reply to him, so as not to involve her in the future.

Since she wants to break it off, she should break it off completely.

Anyway, she is a soul from another world and has nothing to do with this world.

I just don’t know why, but the thought of breaking off the relationship still makes my heart feel a little blocked.

Xiao Xiangdong saw that she was obviously depressed and his eyes were filled with tears. He asked with concern: "Xiaoman, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Meng Xiaoman shook his head, said nothing, and handed the letter to Xiao Xiangdong.

Xiao Xiangdong read it quickly and understood the reason in his heart.

Parents do not love their children, but their children always have illusions and long for their care, love and recognition, but in the end they only get disappointment.
