An old man who has suffered all his life.

Just over 70, she is not as tough as many old people. After a stroke at the age of 67, she suddenly looked like an 80-year-old in thinking and action, showing signs of Alzheimer's disease.

Her name is Wu Mei. In the year of liberation, she was born into a merchant family. Family conditions are good. Unfortunately, her biological mother died two months after her birth, and her father got married again soon. When her stepmother came, she didn't want to take the children. She told her father that she was a mother and sent her away.

Foster parents' families are very difficult. They have four sons, and five sisters were adopted as child brides. The foster mother loves Wu Mei very much and treats her as her own daughter. Save all the delicious food for her. The son has everything. Before the age of 8, she was taken care of by her adoptive mother. Like other farmers' daughters, she is not too sad, although she will help her family at an early age.

At the age of eight, she had just entered the first grade of primary school, and her adoptive mother died again, and her adoptive father married her stepmother. Her stepmother didn't like her any more, so she became a long-term worker at home and the school didn't give it to her. Work at home is busy from morning till night. Eight-year-old Wu Jie cooks, carries water and washes clothes, and does the work in the field. Her four brothers bullied her and no one liked her. In such an environment, she grew up day by day and felt that no one was good to her. She is the most pitiful person, but she still has some hope in her heart that she can marry when she grows up.

/kloc-By the time he was 0/8 years old, Wu Mei had grown up, probably because he had been doing farm work for many years, and he was strong or not. Her feet are like men's feet, and she has to wear size 43 shoes. None of her four brothers wanted to marry her, and neither did she want to marry the four people who bullied her since childhood. So the adoptive parents found someone to introduce her and found her husband's family.

The matchmaker introduced two people. One is A, a soldier, three years older than Wu Mei, indicating that he will have a job after two years of demobilization. It would be nice to have a national job at that time. The other is a divorced childless technician, bigger than Wu Mei who works in J province 10. Everyone thinks A is good, but Wu Mei chose B, but no one has seen it. She just thinks she can leave that little place with B.

Under the arrangement of the matchmaker, B wrote a letter to Wu Mei. Wu Mei doesn't know so many words, let others read them to her. There are many love words in the letter, which makes Wu Mei feel that B loves her. In this way, two months later, B said she would come back to get married, and Wu Mei agreed.

In this way, the fifth sister married B who had never met before and only exchanged letters.

B is an honest man. He has six brothers and sisters. He is the fourth. He has two sisters, an elder brother, a younger brother and a younger sister. His family is also poor. Fortunately, both B and his younger brother are studying and working, and a stable income can make the family better.

Sister Wu can visit relatives in J province. At that time, the traffic was not as convenient as it is now. After a long-distance bus ride for more than ten hours, Wu Mei got carsick and vomited all the way, and finally arrived at B's work unit, which is a coal mine.

The fifth sister left the small mountain village for the first time and looked at the dark coal mines everywhere. She is a little dumbfounded, but she is also very happy to think that she can eat enough and not be angry with her parents and younger brother. She is very diligent, farming, raising pigs and chopping wood, and her life is down to earth. She believes that one day she will get ahead.

Soon she became pregnant. When she was about to give birth, she was worried that the midwives in the village near the coal mine would not understand. She felt that there were hospitals and familiar midwives in her hometown, so she decided to go back to her hometown to have children. (To be continued)

Fifth sister doesn't know that pregnancy can't be too rough. I stayed alone for more than ten hours and vomited and got carsick all the way home.

After returning to their hometown, the exhausted five sisters were not taken good care of. B is not around, and neither her mother-in-law nor B's brother-in-law care much about her. She has no experience and no one to teach her, and she didn't notice that the child was still in her belly.

The child was born lifeless because of a stomachache. Because it was a stillbirth, my mother-in-law didn't care, and my brother and sister-in-law didn't ask. Five extremely weak sisters lay motionless in bed. Two days later, she got up and cooked for herself. No one took care of Zi Yue, so she had to wash and cook by herself.

Fortunately, she is young. After giving birth, Sister Wu recovered. She went back to the coal mine in J province and was with B again. Soon she was pregnant again. When she was 8 months old, she went back to her hometown and gave birth to a stillbirth. In this way, the five sisters were pregnant three times, all of which were aborted after 7 or 8 months of long-distance bus bumps.

This incident finally reached the ears of doctors in a rural health center near the coal mine. She was surprised that there was such an ignorant woman who didn't know how to cherish herself.

After the fourth pregnancy of Fifth Sister, the doctor found Fifth Sister, examined her and told her that if she took the long-distance bus again this time, she would not only have a stillbirth, but also be infertile in the future!

Five sisters finally gave birth to a son in J province, and she was very happy. She finally confessed to b and her husband's family In that country where son preference is very serious, no one is bullied and looked down upon, and she may get a divorce. With a son, the five sisters feel at ease, and indeed, because she is a son, her mother-in-law treated her much better when she took her son back to her hometown after the full moon.

2020.06. 15 continued

After having a son, the five sisters took care of her son wholeheartedly. My son is very good, everyone will say hello when they meet, and everyone will love him. The five sisters regard their son as their lifeblood. Carry it with you

Three years later, the five sisters became pregnant again. The pregnancy reaction is different from that when she was pregnant with her son. She didn't respond and didn't want to be sour. B Maybe it is her daughter, a son and a daughter. But my mother-in-law doesn't think so. When she heard that it might be a girl, she was unhappy.

Wu Mei has always believed that compared with the crude maternity beds in township health centers near coal mines, there is a midwife in my hometown, so I can deliver my baby at my mother's home and have a baby in bed. Maybe this daughter has strong vitality. This time, the bumps of the long-distance bus didn't make her miscarry.

Sister Wu gave birth to a daughter in her hometown. She thought that she was born in her hometown and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law could take care of her, but her husband's attitude made her feel very cold. Her mother-in-law came to have a look, and she was really a sister. She turned and left, but her sister-in-law didn't come. She looked at the daughter who didn't bring her a good attitude towards her mother-in-law and felt that she should give it away.

The five sisters have to take care of their extremely weak children and cook by themselves. B sent back the money for the next month, which was collected by her mother-in-law. Without good wine and an old hen, there is not enough money to eat. In winter, Wu Mei went to the river to wash clothes alone.

After this confinement, Wu Mei didn't recover as before. After several miscarriages, she exhausted her body. This kind of hard confinement makes her body completely worse, often sweating, always afraid of the cold and not having enough to eat. She has really gained weight.

After the fifth sister gave birth to the baby, she wrapped her daughter up and put it on the edge of the valley flat at the door, and then carried her son to do farm work, thinking about who wanted it. She is too tired and poor to support it.

When I came back at night, my daughter didn't hug me. The child who had just been fed for a month cried until there was no sound. Looking at her daughter, Wu Mei suddenly thought that she would be given away by her stepmother in a few months, and remembered the slave-like days in her adoptive parents' house. A girl who is unwanted for a day, even if someone wants her tomorrow, probably won't treat her like a human being. She took her daughter home, no matter how hard it was, her daughter was at home.

She named her daughter He. She didn't lose him, but she didn't care about him. She had to take her son to do farm work during the day. She really has no energy to work with He. Lotus can only stay at home alone one day, without eating or drinking, and can only feed some rice paste when it comes back.

When he was a few years old, his son Wei grew up. Wei no longer goes to the fields with his five sisters. He stayed at home with his sister.

At the age of five, B was awarded the title. According to the policy at that time, she could bring her family members, Wu Mei could go to J province officially, and there were job indicators, which was very rare at that time. Wu Mei felt that she had made a good start, and finally she didn't have to look at her mother-in-law's face in her hometown, so she was bullied by her brother.

Wu Mei became a coal miner. She works very hard. In order to make her family live better, she also dug up land on the hillside to grow vegetables and raised several pigs. She just wants to save some money day and night so that the family can live a good life.

Five sisters have always felt insecure, and her growing experience in her hometown has a deep influence on her. With her adoptive parents, she was a long-term slave and bullied by her brothers. She finally grew up and got married, and worked in her husband's family. Her mother-in-law hated her and her brother-in-law bullied others. She is always afraid of going back to the past. Only when she has food and clothing at home can she feel at ease. She works day and night in the hope that her children can learn when they grow up.

Fortunately, B is considerate of Wu Mei and she works hard. After work, she also does housework with Wu Mei, which makes Wu Mei feel that she has not married the wrong person.

In this way, after more than ten years, although Wu Mei worked hard, her life was generally good. B was a leader in a coal mine and had a successful career. Her son went to college. When she graduated from junior high school, Wu Mei, now her daughter, asked her to go to a tailor's shop to learn tailoring, thinking that she would stop studying for him and let her get married two years later.

Lotus doesn't like her mother's arrangement. Only children from poor rural families will not go to school after junior high school, because five sisters have treated her differently from her son since childhood, and she doesn't like to do housework. She thought, why does she have to do it, but her brother can't do anything? But she couldn't help it. She told her father that she wanted to go to college.

Fortunately, B is open-minded. He told the tailor that his daughter still had to study and called on Holland to go home. From then on, Holland knew that the person who loved her most was her father.

Holland went to high school, graduated three years later and was admitted to the undergraduate course. My brother's family was very happy and set up several tables to celebrate. In that small place at that time, few girls went to college. Lotus is the first female college student in a small mountain village in her hometown, and all her relatives and friends are envious.

When Wu Mei thought she could finally catch her breath and relax, an misfortune was quietly waiting for arrival.

Considering that he has never traveled far by himself, B sent him to college himself. He was admitted to a university in H province, and it took him two days to drive. On the way, an unfortunate thing happened. A big truck hit B and He's car head-on, and the driver died on the spot. B was sent to the hospital, but he was not rescued. He and another uncle in the car survived. He couldn't react, and his mind was blank for several days. The traffic police only cry when they ask questions.

The accident was a devastating blow to the five sisters' families, and B has always been the pillar of the family. My five sisters and brothers can't accept the reality of B's death.

Sister Wu regrets that Lotus didn't lose her at the full moon, and B died because she sent Lotus to college. The five sisters are very sad, and Lotus owes her.

The five sisters don't want to go to college in Holland. Girls always get married, and the university belongs to others.

Colleagues and neighbors in the mine are very sympathetic to Wu Mei. They suggested that Wu Mei go to college to study Dutch. This is B's wish. Besides, after studying Dutch in college, I will remember my mother's kindness when I graduate from Dutch. It is said that her daughter is a sweet little cotton-padded jacket! While Wu Mei was sad, he felt that what his colleague said was reasonable, so he found a young man to help send him to college.

Wu Mei felt that her life was really bitter and she could enjoy it at first sight, and suddenly she became a poor widow.

2020.6. 17 continued

Because of the death of B, Wu Mei's life in the company is not as happy as before. Colleagues no longer regard her as the leading wife, and some gloat coldly. The new unit leader has let Wu Mei retire early, and Wu Mei feels even more left out because he has nothing to do, which makes Wu Mei feel a lot of pressure.

Five sisters go to Lacrimosa every day, and their son Wei Gang works. The unit used to look at his father's face and was very polite to him. Now there is no need for colleagues to persuade her. It's no use crying like this. If you feel really uncomfortable, go back to your hometown. There are always relatives in my hometown who can be taken care of. Sister Wu felt friendless in J province, and everyone left. She is the heroine, respectful and polite, and what her colleagues said is reasonable. So she discussed with her son and moved back to her hometown.

Wei's uncle helped Wei contact a factory in the county, so the five sisters and their son sold their house in J province and went back to their hometown.

Wei's girlfriend Ying's parents didn't want her daughter to go to that small county, so they introduced a factory director to Ying. In order to convince her parents that Wei couldn't do it, Ying wanted Wei to be the deputy factory director in a short time and broke up with her.

Wei was lovelorn, and the five sisters arranged introductions from relatives and friends. The defender married a teacher, Chang Li, but the teacher's work income is stable, which is very good in that small county.

But Wei never really liked Li after all. After marriage, he resigned and went to work in Shenzhen, where he could give full play to his major. Although tired, the salary is many times that of a small county. After meeting the girl he liked, he divorced Li.

Xiao is beautiful, but she is special. She is always finding fault to prove that Wei is dead set on her. After the marriage, she told Wu Mei that she was a widow. Sister Wu is most afraid of being called a widow, and always feels that others look down on her. But she thought that Xiao gave her a grandson, and she always swallowed it. I only blame myself for my bad luck.

Seeing her bullying her mother-in-law, Xiao became more and more arrogant, and finally one day she drove Fifth Sister out of the house. At that time, Lotus was married, and Fifth Sister had nowhere to go, so she had to go to Lotus and never dared to live with her son and daughter-in-law. He was very angry with his elder sister-in-law's behavior and stopped seeing him. He rented a house near his home for his fifth sister.

Wu Mei thought that he had worked hard for his son all his life. Her husband died, but he was kicked out of the house by his son and daughter-in-law. She had a stroke with anger. Fortunately, she went to the hospital in time and left no serious sequelae after hospitalization. However, the whole person suddenly became ten years older and weak, and his legs were always weak when he first started walking. It took two years to recover slowly, but her body could not recover.

Lotus looked at her mother who was extremely patriarchal since she was a child, and she was also very emotional. She never expected her brother to be as kind to her mother as possible. She figured it out that people actually have to rely on themselves.

Sister Wu has always felt that her life is hard. Like Sister Xianglin, they repeatedly said that she worked hard when she was a child, and later she worked hard at her husband's house. B died, and she treated her coldly and was bullied. In the end, her son was unreliable.

After all, when B was alive, he had a good life of more than ten years. Although farming and raising pigs are very tiring, many people have no chance to get involved. At least their families can have enough food and houses. Many people have food and no food. More than enough. People should be optimistic when they are alive.

Fifth sister doesn't cry so slowly. She forgave her son. Her body has left her with little energy. She just wants to go to the Dutch home every day, cook for them and do some housework. Sometimes she can ask Wei to take her to see the children. Seeing her grandson grow up, she felt that she had finished her task and was worthy of B. ..

Dude, always on his own. If he wants to rely on his husband, he may suddenly leave you and rely on his son. He married a daughter-in-law and ignored you. He looked at his mother who had worked hard all her life. She thought that when she grew up, she would try her best to take care of her and plan her life in her later years so that her son could be relaxed and happy.
