Zhou Linlin found a strange phenomenon, every time she took something back to her hometown to visit her father-in-law Sun Shouguo, the people in the village would look at her with strange eyes, and even pointed behind her back when she was old, looking like she was watching a good show.
She told her husband, Sun Mingyong, about it.
Sun Mingyong said indifferently that the people in the village are like that, don't pay attention to it. They live in the city, and they don't have any contact with anyone.
Sun Mingyong grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and relied on his own hard work to settle down in the city and become famous.
Zhou Linlin admires him very much, only has a junior high school education, but she is more decent than a college graduate, the only bad thing is that she treats people too coldly, especially for the old father in her hometown, she doesn't care at all, and she completely cuts off contact with relatives and friends in the village, and no one cares.
Zhou Linlin has a harmonious relationship with her parents, not only filial piety to her parents, but also thinks about her father-in-law, thinking that her father-in-law will pull Sun Mingyong to grow up alone, and she thinks that her father-in-law should enjoy Qingfu. She has been thinking about taking her father-in-law to live in the city, but she has never found a good time.
Husband, next Monday is your thirtieth birthday, how do you want to spend this special birthday?Zhou Linlin flipped through the calendar, marked Sun Mingyong's birthday, and said: "It is said that men are thirty years old, this year, you have a successful career, we tied the knot, this is a new beginning for you, but also a new beginning for us, we must celebrate! ."”
Don't toss," Sun Mingyong leaned on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone, his tone was brisk, and he said, "Call my parents, and the family will have a reunion dinner together." ”
Okay," Zhou Linlin took the opportunity to say: "When the time comes, I will drive to my hometown to pick up my father, and it is inconvenient for him to go back and forth, so he is at home."
You don't have anything to do and always talk about him. Sun Mingyong's indifferent voice was full of anger, and he said: "If he stays in his hometown, he will stay in his hometown, just call my father-in-law and mother-in-law!."”
Zhou Linlin also came to the ground and said: "You are filial to my parents, I am very grateful to you, but your own father, don't you care about it?"”
Regardless of it?Sun Mingyong's face changed and said, "Why don't I care about it?"He is alive, I will give him food, and if he dies, I will bury him, so that the benevolence and righteousness are exhausted!His stinking people deserve to stay in that place!”
You," Zhou Linlin's eyes were frightened and confused, and she said, "He is your father, how can you say that,"
It's my thing with him!Don't get involved. ”
Sun Mingyong squeezed his phone tightly and shook his hand into the bedroom.
Zhou Linlin sat on the sofa in astonishment, she couldn't understand why her husband seemed to be a different person as long as she mentioned her father-in-law.
Sun Mingyong's indifference made Zhou Linlin feel pity for Sun Shouguo, and went back to the village to visit him more often.
The people in the village joked: "I don't know if Sun Mingyong's life is bad or Sun Shouguo's life is too good, the Sun family can have a clever daughter-in-law like you."
It is appropriate for the younger generation to be filial to the elders," Zhou Linlin said with a shy smile: "Ming Yong is busy with work, and as his wife, I should make up for the filial piety that he can't fulfill." ”
The people in the village laughed and said, "It seems that Sun Mingyong created the sin." ”
Zhou Linlin was confused, and before she could ask clearly, the onlookers dispersed.
She stopped talking and hurried to the old house.
Sun Shouguo nestled in a smoking tube next to the bed, and wine bottles were scattered around the bed.
Before Zhou Linlin entered the house, the stuffy smell rushed straight to her nose.
Dad, what are you doing?”
Zhou Linlin shouted into the house.
Matches, clothes, and grease stained dishes and chopsticks were scattered in the kitchen.
Zhou Linlin had no place to put the things she was carrying, so she could only walk to the living room with her feet up.
Sun Shouguo heard the sound, held his trance brain and walked out, and said, "Girl, you are here,"
Zhou Linlin turned around and screamed in fright, Sun Shouguo's face and clothes were full of dried blood, his forehead was sunken, and the blurred flesh and blood had scabbed.
Dad, what's wrong with you?Zhou Linlin stepped forward, forced to take a step back by the smell, and stepped forward to help Sun Shouguo, asking, "Why is your forehead broken?"”
Sun Shouguo said: "When I was walking, I accidentally fell and hit the cabinet. ”
This is not a trivial matter," Zhou Linlin said nervously: "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up,"
Although Sun Shouguo shirked his words, he was still scared in his heart, so he simply cleaned up and followed Zhou Linlin to the county seat.
After examination, Sun Shouguo's health was fine, but because of long-term drinking, his liver function was impaired and he needed to be hospitalized for recuperation.
Zhou Linlin thought that this was an opportunity for Sun Mingyong and Sun Shouguo to repair their relationship, so she decided to be hospitalized and called Sun Mingyong to the hospital.
Sun Mingyong thought that Zhou Linlin had an accident, and hurried to the hospital, but saw Zhou Linlin standing at the door of the ward with her lips pursed, and was suspicious.
Did anyone in the family have an accident?Sun Mingyong arrived at Zhou Linlin and asked, "You are stumbling in **, and you don't make it clear, who is and what's wrong?"”
Zhou Linlin took Sun Mingyong's hand and said, "It's Dad who has an accident,"
Dad?Sun Mingyong thought that his father-in-law had an accident, and instantly became nervous, "What's wrong with him?"Is it serious?”
Zhou Linlin was secretly happy, sure enough, she didn't marry the wrong person, Sun Mingyong is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
It's not a big problem," Zhou Linlin let Sun Mingyong into the room and said, "I just need to be hospitalized for a few days, you can go in and have a look, I'll pay the hospitalization fee first." ”
Good. ”
Sun Mingyong entered the room, and when he saw Sun Shouguo, his eyes immediately became **, and he asked, "What are you doing here?"What about my father-in-law?!”
Sun Shouguo was submissive and said, "It was Linlin who called me, and I didn't see your father-in-law." ”
Heh," Sun Mingyong immediately understood, an expression of disdain appeared, and he whispered: "I said not to let her take care of it, she has to do a lot of things!."”
Linlin is not as ruthless as you!Sun Shouguo avoided Sun Mingyong's gaze and whispered: "I raised a white-eyed wolf like you!."”
Sun Mingyong pretended not to hear it, turned around and left, and met Zhou Linlin who came back with a bill in the corridor.
Zhou Linlin also wanted to ask him to go **, but ushered in Sun Mingyong's cold warning.
If you have to care about him, if you want to be filial to him so much, go and live with him. ”
Zhou Linlin was stunned, and wanted to ask clearly, Sun Mingyong didn't give her a chance and strode away.
placed Sun Shouguo in the hospital, Zhou Linlin called Sun Mingyong ** but was hung up, and called several ** in succession, and the opposite side prompted that the mobile phone had been turned off.
Zhou Linlin didn't understand what she did wrong, so she took a taxi back to her parents' house.
Hearing their daughter's retelling, Zhou Linlin's parents still chose to believe Sun Mingyong.
Zhou Linlin's mother said: "Linlin, don't cry, there must be some misunderstanding here, let's find Mingyong to make it clear." ”
Mom, I don't know what misunderstanding can be," Zhou Linlin said with tears in her eyes: "You have taught me to be filial to my parents since I was a child, shouldn't I be filial to my father-in-law?"He was going to quarrel with me, and his phone was turned off. ”
It's okay, let your father contact him," Zhou Linlin's mother motioned to her husband and said, "You hurry up and call Mingyong's friend ** and call him over, it's only been a few days since you got married, why do you want to get a divorce?"”
Zhou Linlin's father nodded and dialed **.
When Sun Mingyong heard his father-in-law's kind tone, his heart softened and he immediately agreed to go back.
Sun Mingyong arrived at Zhou Linlin's house, greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and sat opposite Zhou Linlin angrily, ignoring her.
Zhou Linlin looked at her parents helplessly, and motioned to her parents to speak for her, Sun Mingyong is a good husband, and she doesn't want to be unhappy because of such an inexplicable thing.
Ming Yong, since you are here, it is to solve the problem," Zhou Linlin's father said bitterly: "It's all a family, if you have anything to say, everyone should say it well, and you can't be rash." Linlin told us everything about you, and we really don't understand how Linlin's kindness turned bad when she came to you. ”
Sun Mingyong remembered the sad thing, and his stubborn head lowered slightly.
Zhou Linlin looked over with her parents, waiting for Sun Mingyong to speak.
Sun Mingyong tilted his head, unwilling to call Sun Shouguo his father. With a sad tone, he said: "When I was admitted to high school, it rained for several days in a row, but even if it was lightning and thunder, he still had to drink and gamble for money, and he lost all my tuition fees after one night's hard work.
That money is all the family's savings. When his mother heard that the money had been lost, she was so angry that she ran to him, and when she was walking on the single-plank bridge, she was swept away by a sudden flood.
The family had no money for my mother's funeral, so I had to go door to door to borrow money, but no one wanted to lend me money, they only talked about it.
It was my grandmother who gave me the dowry at the bottom of the box and reluctantly buried my mother. That year, all the misfortunes crushed me, I tore up my acceptance letter and started wandering.
After making some money, I wanted to go back to filial piety to my grandmother, but when I got home, I found that the building had already been empty, and my grandmother had died the year before last, and he didn't tell me that my grandmother would be buried hastily. I didn't get to see her for the last time.
is such a drunken person, I can support his life is already benevolent and righteous,"
Zhou Linlin burst into tears, walked to Sun Mingyong's side, touched his thin body, and said guiltily: "I didn't mean to uncover your scars, I'm sorry, I'm too self-righteous." I just look at him as a person who is so pathetic and doesn't know what he does. I don't care, I'll listen to you in the future. ”
Ming Yong," Zhou Linlin's mother said: "It's not that I excuse your father, I am also a mother, as a mother, I only want my children to be healthy and happy, and your hatred of your father is also a kind of torture for yourself." ”
Yes," Zhou Linlin's father said, "Your father did something wrong when he was young, but think about it, would there still be you if it weren't for your father?"If it weren't for your father, your grandmother would have died a long time ago in the years when you went out to make a living, and we can't help you forgive him, but we don't want you to live in hatred all the time. ”
Zhou Linlin felt sorry for Sun Mingyong, stopped his parents, and said: "Mom and Dad, don't say it, Mingyong has suffered so many injuries, it is impossible for him to heal immediately, even if he wants to forgive and let go, you have to give him a little time." ”
Mom and Dad," Sun Mingyong took Zhou Linlin's hand and said, "I know that you have always been very good to me, I will think about this matter, it's not too early, Linlin and I will go back first, and you should rest early." ”
Zhou Linlin's parents sent them to the door, and after seeing them enter the elevator, the old couple frowned after looking at each other, no one thought that Sun Mingyong, who has always been cheerful and capable, would have such a sad past.
In the hospital, there were four or five old men in the bed next to Sun Shouguo, and when everyone left, he asked the old man, "Brother, who are you just now?"It's very lively,"
Sons and daughters," said the old man with a smile, "they all feel sorry for me, saying that I suffered too much for them when I was young, and now I am hospitalized before I have time to enjoy Qingfu, and they are not happy one by one, for fear that I will have something wrong." But I wasn't sick, it was just a little cold, and they had to put me in the hospital, and there was really no way to do it. ”
Sun Shouguo smiled bitterly and whispered, "It's better than my white-eyed wolf son," he said
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who had just left came over with the doctor ** and said to the old man: "Dad, we have changed you into a VIP ward, you go there to recuperate, be quiet,"
The old man said: "Look at you guys are spending money indiscriminately, I'm the same in **." ”
The person who came said, "Isn't it just for spending money?" ”
The old man moved away.
In the dead of night, the patients in the same room were all picked up by their families, and Sun Shouguo was the only one left in the big room.
He looked at the moon outside the window and couldn't help but shed tears.
Recalling his life in a hurry, he lost money and gambling, drank wasted, his family was gone, and he left nothing behind.
* Turning off the light in the room, Sun Shouguo finally couldn't help crying in the dark night, worried that the crying would attract **, he cried under the quilt, and after a while, the tears soaked the pillow.
The hospital was full of people, and he hadn't been here since Zhou Linlin left, Sun Shouguo looked out of the door day and night but didn't wait for anything, and no one told him about the regret in his heart.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Sun Shouguo went to settle the bill, and the ** on duty said that his bill had been cleared.
Sun Shouguo hurriedly asked, "When is it?"What about the people who pay?!”
* pointed in the direction of the parking lot and said, "It's a couple, it should be your son and daughter-in-law, just left, went to the parking lot." ”
Good. Sun Shouguo turned around and chased, cars came and went, he looked left and right, and saw one car after another coming in and out.
He wanted to shout, but his voice was like a heavy guilt in his heart, and he couldn't lift it.
In the car, Zhou Linlin asked Sun Mingyong and said, "Husband, how are you going to spend your birthday?"”
Sun Mingyong thought for a while and said, "You're right, this is a new beginning, I should let go of the shackles of the past,"
Hey, husband, you're the best!”
Sun Mingyong laughed, and at this moment, his heart suddenly brightened.
