In the work "Snail House", Aunt Xu's mouth feels cold, but her hands are not slow.
In the previous analysis of Mrs. Li's situation, it was mentioned that Mrs. Li's husband had passed away, but Mrs. Li did not feel sad because she finally had the opportunity to stretch her legs and fall asleep. Now it seems that she is very lucky, because with children and a wife, she can enjoy her old age in peace. When Mrs. Li died, her daughter-in-law, Xu Li, stood in her new residence and said with joy that she would be willing to let go, because every mistake her mother said would bring corresponding rewards. I'm the same, and my heart is cold. It's so cold?
However, is Xu Li really that cold?
Xu Li, the mistress of the family she hired, was called Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu and her husband Lao Li are a rare harmonious couple in a small living space. Both of them had their own houses, but they never liked to live in such a home. Aunt Xu once expressed that no matter how much hardship and fatigue we experience, we should all be united. Now that he's retired, we don't go to work anymore and sit at home every day to enjoy our family. But when they were together, it was Aunt Xu who was working and Lao Li was working. Aunt Xu's expectations for Lao Li are not harsh, as long as you can accompany me.
Although Lao Li is a lazy, unmotivated and limited person, he can only choose to work as a security guard in an Internet café. He often drank outside and stabbed people with a knife while drinking. Although he was injured in the fight, he was willing to transfer all the compensation provided by his boss to Aunt Xu so that she could go and buy new clothes. Lao Li loves his wife very much. Mrs. Li wanted to write down a few words, so she asked her son Lao Li to finish it, and Lao Li immediately suggested that Xu Li should write it, because the quality of her words would be better. Lao Li has a high level of recognition for his wife. Even he occasionally criticizes Aunt Xu for being a fool.
Due to the imminent demolition, Mrs. Li suggested changing to a nail household and changing to a larger residence in order to better turn over. But she doesn't understand that she lives in the countryside and doesn't have real estate, so how can she let people demolish it?Lao Li hesitated, and in the end, it was Aunt Xu's words "It's right to listen to my mother" and "the final word" that calmed Lao Li's heart.
Lao Li, the mother-in-law, has never given too much respect to Aunt Xu. When Mrs. Li prepares a small pickle, she always waits for her son to come home, which also reflects the typical family management strategy of "daughter-in-law needs to take care of son with mother-in-law". Because she knows that between the sons and daughters, no one can lose between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Aunt Xu didn't dwell too much, just pouted. If Xu Lihong fought back with harsh words, Mrs. Li would definitely not be able to match, she would only be angry. However, Aunt Xu did not take that action.
As a daughter-in-law, being able to tolerate the existence of her mother-in-law is all out of consideration for her husband. Lao Li is Aunt Xu's bottom line.
The most outrageous thing Aunt Xu said to Mrs. Li was that Mrs. Li was lying on the bed after falling and being injured. That day, on the way back from going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with her husband, Ms. Li, she happened to see two old men sitting together chatting. At that time, Lao Li found that his home was in chaos, so he proposed to go out to work instead of coming home. After hearing the news, Aunt Xu was very angry and immediately told her mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, that she also wanted to find a nanny at home to work at home, otherwise she would not go home.
Mrs. Li is also a double standard, when her son does not serve her, she chooses to remain silent, but whenever her daughter-in-law Aunt Xu mentions not serving her, she will be furious, if I am not around, your husband and son will not appear!
In Aunt Xu's heart, as long as the couple can spend their lives together, no matter how difficult or exhausting, she will not feel afraid. But recently, Aunt Xu feels that she is becoming more and more impatient, and she feels that she has no way to endure such a life. Therefore, when Lao Li decided not to go home again, Aunt Xu's patience completely collapsed.
Mrs. Li is a rather cunning old woman, but she knows the world well, and even Chen Sifu and Song Siming have difficulty dealing with her. Mrs. Li is not interested in Aunt Xu, but she still relies on Aunt Xu. Lao Li's life at home is like a child, with no worries about food and clothing, and his income is quite meager, and he completely relies on Aunt Xu to do a few part-time jobs to maintain the family's livelihood. Aunt Xu's cooking skills are quite good, otherwise the host family would not have entertained her in the evening, leaving her to stay for extra work and meal preparation.
Some netizens commented that Aunt Xu reminded her that death was meaningful when her mother-in-law said that she would rather choose death, which was very undeserved.
This sentence really doesn't have much respect for the elderly. I am her daughter and I also respect my mother-in-law. However, Aunt Xu still hasn't given up on what she should do. One day, she suddenly felt unwell and went to the hospital to see a doctor. Since her mother-in-law was bedridden due to a fall, Aunt Xu has always been responsible for taking care of her. She took the initiative to help her mother-in-law wipe her face, hands and turn over, and although her tone was not friendly, she still advised her to get out of bed and take a walk.
Mrs. Li's attitude made her almost unable to eat or drink and lay on the bed. At that time, Aunt Xu's home became very difficult due to water and electricity outages, and life did not improve. Her son was in a bad mood, her mother-in-law was injured and lying in bed, she couldn't leave the family, and her husband, Lao Li, would sit and say something cold. The mother-in-law is also very sad, her body has not recovered yet, and the mother-in-law is not in a good mood. Against this background, it is surprising that Aunt Xu can take care of her mother-in-law calmly.
For Chen Sifu, you can own a property of 100 square meters with only a dozen square meters, isn't it dishonest!You say you're a poor boy?Mrs. Li was born in a wealthy family, and for Song Siming, she is a respectable person. He has been a loser since he was a child, and his family is so poor that he is tinkling. His current situation is not satisfactory, but he has seen the world and opened his mouth wide, just wanting to use the opportunity of his own life to fight for some chance of turning over for future generations.
Lao Li seems to have gotten two or three hundred thousand, which is enough for him to spend a while!
Aunt Xu is a very pragmatic person, she is neither greedy like Mrs. Li nor short-sighted like Lao Li. Aunt Xu knew that she had not seen the world as well as her mother-in-law, so she was very generous in persuading her husband to listen to her mother-in-law's advice without hesitation at all.
Aunt Xu is regarded as an ordinary citizen in a big city. Despite her poor financial situation and her ability to calculate the amount of money from her employer, she was harsh in her words, accusing her mother-in-law of causing her trouble. She tried to take advantage of the situation, and even stole oil from her neighbor Haiping to stir-fry. However, Aunt Xu also has her own advantages, and compared with Haiping's repeated requests for her mother-in-law to pay 40,000 yuan for the house as a lifelong guarantee, her kindness to her mother-in-law is deeper.
