If you have a daughter, should you recruit a son-in-law?

When my daughter was less than ten years old, I once joked that I had only one daughter, so I couldn't bear to get married, and I would recruit a door-to-door son-in-law in the future!

I said it casually, and I forgot it after I said it. I didn't expect my mother-in-law to remember that one day, when there was no one else at home, my mother-in-law said to me seriously, Ling, I'm telling you, when my daughter is older, she has to get married. Don't recruit a son-in-law, or you will suffer!

I was surprised. I said I was joking. How old is my daughter? Mom, why are you making such a fuss?

Next, my mother-in-law told me a story about a door-to-door son-in-law.

1. The protagonist of the story is Mrs. Wu, who was a very powerful role when she was young. The villagers gave her a nickname, Yang Lao Lingpo. Mrs. Wu was strong all her life, but only gave birth to two daughters. In that patriarchal era, there was no son to make Mrs. Wu feel inferior.

After the eldest daughter got married, Mrs. Wu made up her mind to keep her youngest daughter, Eiko, and recruited a son-in-law for her. There are three chapters about the law before marriage, and the first son born after marriage must be surnamed Wu, in order to follow the incense of the Wu family.

The door-to-door son-in-law is Guo Zi, with heavy eyebrows and big eyes, handsome and upright, and she is a perfect match with the delicate and graceful Eiko. After the marriage, the young couple were very loving, and Eiko's stomach was also very disappointing. Two big fat boys were born one after another, and they were very cute, which made Mrs. Wu happy and often woke up from her dreams.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long. In the fifth year of marriage, Eiko just gave birth to a little daughter, but Guo Zi died suddenly. The death of the pillar made this family suffer a devastating blow, and Eiko cried herself unconscious several times.

2. In the countryside, orphans and widows who have no strong labor have a very difficult life. Later, with the help of good people, another man entered Eiko's house. This man is called Lengzi, who is not bad, but also diligent, but a little single-minded.

At that time, people earned work points in production teams. In the era of lack of material life, their spiritual life was also very poor. Many people liked to tell some dirty jokes for fun and entertainment. Some busybodies often ask Lengzi about her marriage. Lengzi owes her mouth. As long as others encourage her, she tells them about the private affairs between husband and wife, which makes everyone burst into laughter. < P > These words gradually spread to Mrs. Wu's ears. Mrs. Wu is such a strong-willed person that she can't rub a grain of sand in her eyes. Such a thing falls on others. Maybe even if she has heard of it, after all. But Mrs. Wu doesn't think so. It is a great shame for her to be outspoken. Mrs. Wu hates this son-in-law

finally, this son-in-law was swept out by Mrs. Wu. During this period, what kind of struggle happened between Mrs. Wu's mother and daughter is unknown to outsiders. However, since then, the neighbors have found that the relationship between Mrs. Wu and Eiko has changed, becoming as cold as ice and becoming strangers.

3. Time flies for decades. Eiko has changed from a handsome young widow to a semi-old Xu Niang, and Mrs. Wu is as thin and fierce as ever. Niangs live under the same house and eat at the same table, but they never talk to each other.

The three children have grown up under the strenuous efforts of Mrs. Wu. The three brothers and sisters inherited their parents' excellent genes. They are handsome men and beautiful women. They have all got married, bought houses in the city, and occasionally came back to visit their grandmother and mother.

After the grandchildren moved to the city, Mrs. Wu often wandered around an old building where they lived, wiping the floating ash on the handrail of the stairs with a rag. It was Mrs. Wu and Eiko who devoted their whole lives to this building before they were built and married their two grandchildren. Now, the grandchildren have moved away and headed for a better life. When the old building is empty, Mrs. Wu's heart is also empty.

Mrs. Wu often feels wronged. She has been a cow and a horse for this family all her life, but Eiko doesn't understand her, regards her as an enemy, doesn't call her mom, and doesn't talk to her. Mrs. Wu feels that she is more wronged than Dou E. Everything she does is good for her daughter! However, the daughter did not appreciate her.

alas! Mrs. Wu sighed. What a baiwenhang!

Eiko is almost 6. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being with her mother every day, Eiko goes out early and comes back late every day, and works as a temporary worker in a private enterprise. Mrs. Wu cooks dinner every day and waits for Eiko to come back. After eating, Eiko hastily tidies up the dishes and chopsticks and goes to work in the factory again.

Mrs. Wu is really old and talkative. Her daughter doesn't call her mother, but she calls her father behind her back. Mrs. Wu often complains to her neighbors: My ancestor eats ready-made food all day long and comes home with a straight face, as if I owed her in my last life. Alas, when will I be able to pay off the debt of my predecessor ...

Later, Mrs. Wu fell down and broke her bone. During her hospitalization, Eiko went to wait on her. Mrs. Wu refused to wait on Eiko, so she tried to push her away and let her eldest daughter come to accompany her. Eiko cried bitterly.

Later, Mrs. Wu fell ill in bed, unable to take care of herself, and her mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, but she still remembered her little daughter's hatred, refused to cooperate with Eiko, and deliberately shit on the bedding. Neighbors often see Eiko crying while washing her mother's clothes.

As the saying goes, there is no dutiful son in front of the hospital bed for a long time, and after a long time, the eldest daughter doesn't come. It is said that the mother is partial to the younger daughter, and since she has given all her possessions to the younger daughter, she has no responsibility to serve her mother. Therefore, the two sisters had a bitter quarrel.

In a cold winter, Mrs. Wu finally left. Eiko cried her heart out, and in front of the spirit, she shouted: Mom-Mom-< P > Unfortunately, Mrs. Wu couldn't hear it anymore.
