After a simple rebirth

When the children are not around, Fu Ying still has a lot of free time, because the main things are still taken care of by Fu's parents, and Fu Ying helps out.

When Fu Ying was helping, she asked Fu's mother directly,

"Mom, which room should I sleep in from now on? I need to move my books and desk there, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to move every day and run in and get things all the time."

"When your father and his family go to work after the New Year, you can continue to share a room with me. It's warmer in the inner room near the stove. Why do we need so many rooms?"

"No, it's not like there's not enough room at home. I want to sleep alone. If I squeeze with you, I won't have anywhere to put my things. I have to put my things away by myself." Fu Ying refused to sleep together.

"Fu Yongquan, look at your daughter, what's wrong with her sleeping with me?" Fu's mother yelled at Fu's father.

Fu Ying was speechless.

"Mom, I wanted to discuss this with you, but now you are the one who doesn't talk to me properly. You know I need to study, and you don't sleep at regular times when I sleep with you. And my second aunt and the others often come over and disturb me while I am studying!

Besides, my books and test papers will only increase, and your clothes will also increase. Our things will all be piled up together, how can I find them?"

Father Fu immediately came out to act as a peacemaker.

"Fei Fei, let Xiao Ying have her own room. She can study well when she is alone and quiet."

"It's so cold in winter, how can she sleep alone? She'll be frozen to death!" Fu's father did not stand on Fu's mother's side and was bombarded by Fu's mother.

"Mom, my hands and feet aren't cold. They warm up in bed in a short time in winter. It's not that exaggerated.

Fu Zhe also sleeps alone, so these are not a problem. If you feel cold, just buy an electric blanket. I don’t need it because I’m not used to sleeping with that.”

Dad Fu used his eyes to persuade Mom Fu, and Mom Fu had no choice but to agree, but she couldn't help but speak harshly.

"Then you can sleep in your current room. Put your things away by yourself. Don't go around calling mom if you can't find them!"

Fu Ying nodded and packed up everything at night. She had the keys anyway, and once the two doors were locked, no one would be allowed to enter without permission.

But there will be something else.

"Dad, are you free these two days? I want you to help me find some wood to build a big desk. I have a lot of stuff, and I have to take Fu Zhe to study. Sometimes Wang Yu and the others also come over to do their homework, so the original desk is not enough."

Moreover, Fu Ying did not believe in her own skills and felt that the desk could not support so many people. If it collapsed one day, her world would collapse with it.

Father Fu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go check it out tomorrow. I wonder if the furniture store in Pojiao sells wooden boards separately. I just happen to need a bed for your room. I'm going to return that bed to your second aunt's house. Your cousin should be back in the next two days."

Fu Ying nodded.

"Just buy some boards. It's cheaper to assemble them by nailing them ourselves. The complete set is too expensive and not that big. Then you can see if you want to fix my table. You can put it in Fu Zhe's room or move it over to the stove to put things."

Fu Ma added, "The one at the foot of the slope doesn't have any. You can go to the lumber store at the fork. I saw some wood boards at the door. They should have some for sale."

"If it's pure wood, don't forget to buy some varnish, Dad. If you don't varnish the wood, it will be prickly."

"Okay, got it." Dad Fu made a note and decided to ask tomorrow. Some shops should be open before the New Year.

While they were still chatting, there was a commotion outside. Fu Ying turned around and looked to the roadside. She saw the children from her second aunt Fu's family across the street gathered around a car. It was a small silver car, and if Fu Ying remembered correctly, it was her cousin Fu's car.

It's no wonder they act so arrogantly. There are less than ten households in the village who own cars. Although it's not an expensive car, I remember it was a Hyundai worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, but it's still impressive enough in the village.

Sure enough, a sturdy man who looked like a gangster got out of the driver's seat. It was Fu's cousin, named Wang Jun, and his cousin's wife also got out from the passenger seat. The third and fourth children in his family ran to their parents, and Wang Cong and Wang Yu also stood beside them and called for their parents.

If you only look at this scene, it is a beautiful picture of a harmonious family and prosperity.

But every family has its own problems. Fu Ying knows that many families will not be at peace during this New Year, such as the Fu family and the Wang family.

The Fu family will have a quarrel sooner or later because of Fu Ying and Fu Wei, but it hasn't broken out yet.

The Wang family consists of Fu Ergu and his wife. They always quarrel during the Chinese New Year, and there is a high chance that Wang Jun and Wang Cong will quarrel as well.

Wang Jun and his father, Uncle Fu, have the same temper. They are extremely irritable and will even hit people when they are unhappy.

I don’t know whether he beat his cousin’s wife or not, but Wang Jun beat his father and his son Wang Cong.

The older generation believes that a good son is born from a stick. Wang Jun was both beaten and spoiled when he was young. Wang Jun thought he used the same method as his father to treat his eldest son, but in fact, he beat him more than spoiled him.

Wang Cong was not a good student, but he was filial and kind.

But Wang Jun was not satisfied and wanted his son to be outstanding, but Wang Cong and Wang Yu were not good at studying. Wang Yu was a girl, so it was okay, she was scolded at most and rarely beaten, but Wang Cong was in a worse situation.

Wang Cong looks normal now and has no problem speaking and communicating, but he was beaten a lot when he was young, and the problems left over are very serious.

When Wang Jun hit him, he didn't spank his buttocks, but his face. Sometimes he slapped too hard, or accidentally slapped the wrong place, and hit Wang Cong's head, which affected his brain development and facial nerves.

Once, Wang Cong talked back to his father, and Wang Jun slapped him. Wang Cong's face became paralyzed, he couldn't speak, and his face kept cramping. Wang's family sent him to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said that he had a mild concussion. If Wang Cong was beaten again, his face would be completely paralyzed, and even the development of his brain nerves would be affected.

Later, Wang Jun restrained himself a little, just a little. He would still beat Wang Cong when he got angry. Wang Cong ran away from home, but finally came back.

Not only the physical health, Wang Cong's mental health is a bigger problem.

Paranoid personality is a beautified word. From Wang Jun's demand that Wang Cong succeed, to his disappointment in his son, to his final abandonment of his son, Wang Jun's education led Wang Cong onto the sinister and rebellious path.

In front of outsiders, cousin Fu boasted about how good he was to Wang Cong, how disobedient and useless Wang Cong was, and even how ungrateful he was, and he even fought with him.

But what Fu Ying felt was a line of cause and effect. The sins committed since childhood should be repaid when one grows up!

The Wang family also sent Wang Cong to the Fu family, hoping that he would change for the better after a change of environment, but Wang Cong had already been shaped. Moreover, Fu's parents were busy with work and could not say anything harsh about his mistakes. When Wang Cong was normal, he spoke warmly, but when he was abnormal, he scolded Fu Ying's whole family.

Fu's father and mother were frightened by Wang Cong's mood swings and had to let Wang Jun take him away. In addition, in the following years, the relationship between the two families became even more distant because of the Wang family's encroachment on land and Wang Jun's contempt for the Fu family.

If what Wang Yu felt in her original family were elders who favored boys over girls and endless work to do, perhaps escaping could solve the problem.

What Wang Jun felt in his original family was that he was not loved, was even rejected and regarded as a disgrace. This kind of pain and hatred that is rooted in the heart is difficult to heal.

Fu Ergu is Wang Cong's only support and has always protected him.

But the other people in his family, including his grandfather, father, and mother, have given up on him, and there is no family affection between his other brothers and sisters.

Everyone in the village said that it was only because Fu Ergu was around that the villagers gave face to the Wang family and Wang Cong was obedient. If Fu Ergu was gone, the Wang family might become even more chaotic.

When Wang Jun came back, Fu Ying did not go up to him as usual, but Fu's father went out to say hello.
