Chapter 1548: A supporting role in a bitter drama of the age 14
"Tang Jincai, we have been married for nearly 20 years. Let me ask you one question, have you always been thinking about Guan Zhengfen?"
Tang Jin was eager to explain, he didn't, he wasn't, but his mouth didn't listen to him at all.
"I have never forgotten Guan Zhengfen. Although she is abroad, I think of her every year. Thinking of the love letter I wrote to her, Zhengfen is my Bai Yueguang. She is beautiful, intellectual, kind and elegant."
Tang Fangfei looked at her father in horror, and she finally found out. It turned out that their father and daughter both encountered the same strange situation - unable to control their mouths.
Everyone stared at Tang Jincai. Although they didn't understand what Tang Jincai said, they could tell that he had been praising his ex-wife.
"Jin Cai, why are you confused? Guan Zhengfen abandoned her husband and son, and went abroad to enjoy herself. After so many years, you still think about what that selfish woman is doing."
"No, you misunderstood Zhengfen. She is a romantic and gentle person. She left us not because of selfishness, but if she stays in this suffocating land, she will die."
Before Guan Zhengfen went abroad, he communicated with Tang Jincai for a long time, for fear that after she left, he would turn his resentment on his children.
Of course, Tang Jincai couldn't say such words, but he firmly remembered what Guan Zhengfen said.
Nie Shaozhen was shocked and didn't want to stay at home for a moment.
She picked up the bag, pulled her daughter, and said in a choked voice, "Yanan, let's leave, let your father miss him-"
Having said that, Nie Shaozhen felt that in front of her daughter, it was not good to mention the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, so she stopped talking about it.
"Okay, mom, I'm with you."
The mother and daughter left the Tang family, and the rest of the people looked at each other in the living room, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing.
Tang Jinbei lit the cigarette and asked Tang Jincai with a reproachful expression: "Third brother, are you obsessed or what? Even if you are thinking about the one in front of you, you shouldn't bring it up in front of your younger brother and sister."
"Yeah, listen to my elder brother and sister-in-law's advice. Which woman is willing to listen to her husband still thinking about others, even if you really can't forget Guan Zhengfen, you can't say it directly. "
Tang Jincai's eldest brother and sister-in-law were all persuading him, and the second brother and second sister-in-law said the same thing.
"Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, Uncle Er, my dad didn't mean it. He didn't want to say those words, but he couldn't control himself."
Tang Fangfei said something fair for her father, and Tang Jin nodded frantically: "Feifei is right, I don't want to say anything like that, but I can't help but say it out of my mouth."
"And this matter? Jin Cai, you won't be Zhongxie, will you?"
Tang Jinhuan's daughter-in-law asked Tang Jincai, and he spread his hands grimacingly, "I don't even know about it. It's been like this since the hospital got the kidney transplant matching book a few days ago."
"Hey, did you bump into something unclean in the hospital. There is a lot of yin in the hospital, and many people have died."
These days, everyone still has some superstitious thoughts, and when Tang Jin said that he couldn't control himself, everyone's first thought was that he had hit an evil spirit.
Tang Fangfei asked with a pale face: "Second Auntie, sometimes I can't control my mouth, have I also hit the evil?"
"So are you? In my opinion, this is definitely a hit with evil. I heard that there is a master who is good at exorcism in Dongxu Township. If you still don't see it in two days, go to Dongxu Township and let people have a look."
In the living room, the Tang family was discussing whether Tang Jincai and the eldest daughter had fallen in love.
On the street, Shu Ange held Nie Shaozhen's arm and walked aimlessly outside.
The sky is already warm, and the sun shines on the body, making people feel lazy, and Shu Ange is a little sleepy.
Nie Shaozhen's body was shaking all the time. It wasn't because of the cold, but because of the chilling feeling she couldn't get rid of, which made her feel cold all over.
Tang Jincai's words were repeated in her mind. It turned out that in his heart, Guan Zhengfen had always been a goddess.
The stepdaughter was right, she was a nanny and a mother.
For half of her life, she thought she was busy inside and out, taking care of the whole family and becoming a good wife and good mother in everyone's mouth.
When she first got married, her in-laws, uncles and uncles, and sisters-in-law would pick on her for fear that she would treat her two stepchildren harshly.
Seven or eight years after she married the Tang family, no one in the Tang family could fault her.
Nie Shaozhen never felt that she had mistreated the children and children left by Tang Jincai's ex-wife, but the words and deeds of her stepson and stepdaughter made her realize that she had raised a pair of white-eyed wolves.
The more she thought about it, the more chilling she felt, the more she felt that her life was in vain.
"Mom, don't be sad, there's me too."
Shu Ange took Nie Shaozhen's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and comforted her softly.
The little daughter's soft comfort made Nie Shaozhen's cold heart a little warmer.
Only then did she realize that the little girl who was ignorant and dressed up in the eyes of others was the one who really cared about her.
Looking back, she was such a failure as a mother.
In order not to let others say that she is partial, she treats her three children equally. When money is tight at home, he is struggling to kiss his daughter and buy new clothes for his stepson and stepdaughter.
During the Chinese New Year this year, she was not even willing to buy a new coat for her daughter.
Just because other people always say that the two sisters are not very different in age, Yanan wears her sister just right.
Why does her daughter have to pick up old clothes and wear them, and as a motherfucker, when Yanan protested, she thought she was too particular about her dress.
In the past, Nie Shaozhen always thought that her heart was seen by others, but now she understands that everyone regarded her as a fool.
"Yanan, my mother was sorry for you before and made you feel wronged."
Nie Shaozhen grabbed her daughter's hand, her voice choked.
"Mom, you are even more wronged, and I have been holding grievances for you. If you want me to tell you, you should divorce your father. It is not me who talks about being a daughter. I have never seen my father when he was considerate of you since I was a child. "
Shu Ange didn't mention Guan Zhengfen. No self-respecting woman would be willing to repeatedly mention the name of her husband's dream lover.
"It's mother who is stupid. She always thinks that women should take good care of the family. In the future... Mom will not be so stupid."
Perhaps because of the urgent need for support, Nie Shaozhen rarely spoke to her daughter.
Her family is thin and estranged from her brother and sister-in-law. The Tang family's relatives and friends came close, but they all stood by Tang Jincai.
Family matters, if you talk to your close colleagues, it will spread around in a few days.
After thinking about it, the only person who can pour the bitter water is her own daughter.
"Mom, I'm serious, divorce your father."
Nie Shaozhen was very sad, so sad that she lost her soul. The book that her daughter persuaded her to get divorced made her feel agitated.
She was sad and sad, and she had never thought about divorce from her husband.
"Yanan, don't talk nonsense. Mom is just uncomfortable. I never thought about divorce from your dad."
If someone gets divorced these days, it can become a hot topic in the entire community, and if the couple is a little weirder, it can shock half a small town.
Nie Shaozhen is a traditional person, otherwise she would not be a conscientious stepmother, for fear that others would gossip.
She never considered divorce, not only for herself, but also for her daughter's reputation.
My daughter is 17 or 18 years old, she can't go to college, and her marriage will be within a few years.
If she divorced her husband, it would be difficult for her daughter to find another partner. Who would want to find a daughter-in-law whose parents are divorced.
Shu Ange didn't expect Nie Shaozhen to reject divorce so much, she patiently persuaded: "Mom, you have a job yourself, if you get divorced, I will follow you. Let my father take care of the eldest brother and eldest sister alone, and we don't have to be subject to the Tang family anymore. Take it easy."
She tried to make Nie Shaozhen make up her mind to divorce as soon as possible by sketching a beautiful blueprint after the divorce.
The two walked to a remote bus stop unwittingly. Nie Shaozhen took her daughter and sat down, looking at her with a serious expression.
"Yanan, listen to what Mom said. Mom, you know you're fighting for Mom, but divorce is not that simple. If I divorce your father, people in your school will laugh at you. Neighbors will also treat our mother and daughter. Point and point."
In this era, the requirements for women are too harsh, so Tang Jin does not gamble, smoke or drink, nor does he have the bad habit of domestic violence.
If Nie Shaozhen filed for divorce on the grounds that Tang Jincai still had an ex-wife in her heart, everyone would definitely stab her in the spine and scolded her for being disobedient.
Even if Nie Shaozhen was scolded herself, she didn't want her daughter to be wronged as well.
Moreover, Yanan is beautiful, their mother and daughter live alone outside, and they are easily targeted by idle hooligans.
Nie Shaozhen, a mother, was too embarrassed to mention these concerns to her daughter.
Shu Ange buried his face in Nie Shaozhen's arms, and said coquettishly, "I'm not afraid of other people's jokes. The big deal is that we go far. When I graduate from college and work, I will buy a house in a big city. We mother and daughter depend on each other."
"Silly boy."
Nie Shaozhen patted Shu Ange on the back, not agreeing to divorce Tang Jincai.
But from now on, she doesn't want to give her heart to Tang Jincai and her two stepchildren who don't know what to do.
People's hearts are full of flesh. If they don't have a little affection, she won't hold back the Tang family.
From now on, she will just care about her family Yanan.
In a small turn-of-the-century city, nightlife ends exceptionally early.
Kong Xuefei pulled up the shutters of the Shuangqing Bookstore, then got on his bicycle and rode in the direction of his home.
After entering the third year of high school, the school only has two weekends every two weeks.
On the rare day off, the students either supplemented their nutrition at home or continued to work hard to make up lessons. Only Kong Xuefei had to look after the shop for the family.
Back at home, he parked his self-confident car in the garage, nibbled on some instant noodles to cushion his stomach, locked the door and went to the place where his parents lived.
His parents lived on the third floor above his head, and the thin door panel could not isolate the laughter and laughter in the living room.
Kong Xuefei rang the doorbell and called Mom again. After two minutes, Dong He twisted his waist and opened the door.
She stretched her face and said angrily, "Why did you come here now? I don't know that your brother can't stay up late at a young age, so he needs to go to bed earlier."
"It's been a while since I got back from the store."
"As long as you have many excuses, come in."
Kong Sicheng watched TV intently, and Kong Junbao, who was as thin as a monkey, jumped up and down on the sofa.
Seeing Kong Xuefei come in, he picked up the toy gun, pointed the barrel at him, and shouted loudly, "Kill you, kill the bad guy."
Kong Junbao shouted for a while, and when he saw that Kong Xuefei didn't fall, he scolded, "You are a fool, why don't you lie down when you are already dead."
"It's time for homework, let's go to the study."
Kong Xuefei's expression was indifferent, and he did not take Kong Junbao's abuse seriously.
"Good Junbao, give the gun to mom, go do your homework first, we Junbao are good young people who are going to be admitted to Tsinghua University."
Dong He smiled and coaxed Kong Junbao to take the toy gun from his hand.
Kong Junbao clenched the gun tightly and snarled at her, and said with an unhappy face, "I don't want to study, I want to play, you all play with me."
Kong Xuefei didn't say a word. Every time he came here, there would be such a tug of war at home, and he was used to it.
After a while, Dong He finally coaxed Kong Junbao into the study.
Holding a pen, he painted and drew on the workbook, but he couldn't honestly finish writing the topics assigned by the teacher.
Dong He served hot milk for a while, and fed Kong Junbao for a while, but he did not focus on his studies at all.
Kong Xuefei sat silently by the side without saying a word, because he knew that no one in the family liked to hear his words.
After Kong Junbao finished scribbling the homework, Kong Xuefei corrected it with a pencil, and the error rate was as high as 80%.
"These are wrong questions, I'll show you how to do them."
Kong Xuefei's voice was very gentle. When Kong Junbao saw so many wrong numbers in the workbook, he sat down on the ground and started to splash.
"I don't care, I did it right, I don't want to change it, I don't want it!"
He was howling while splashing, and Dong He was distressed to pull him.
"My darling, get up and get cold. After listening to the question, let's go to bed, okay?"
"No, I don't want to write, woohoo, I don't write."
Kong Junbao poured out his breath, the ears of those who could shake it hurt, and the neighbors were not at peace.
Dong He coaxed him for a while, and told Kong Junbao that he didn't do his homework. He squatted on the ground and said softly, "Okay, baby, you don't need to change your homework, get up quickly."
"Oh, hooray."
Kong Junbao sat up from the ground with a carp, and wiped his nose with his sleeve.
Dong He glared at Kong Xuefei with a stern face, and said angrily, "I didn't see your brother unhappy. Just like a wooden man, help Junbao finish his homework."
"Haha, let the fool do his homework, yeah."
Kong Junbao happily clapped his hands and laughed, while Kong Xuefei sat silently at the desk and did his fourth grade homework.
He was concentrating on his homework, when he suddenly heard the sound of tearing paper from behind.
Kong Xuefei looked back and saw that Kong Junbao had pulled out his certificate from nowhere, and happily tore it in his hand.
Seeing him turn around, Kong Junbao sang proudly: "La la la, la la la, I am a little connoisseur of newspaper sales, tear up, tear up, tear up all the awards."
Dong He looked at Kong Junbao with a smile, and didn't mean to stop him at all.
Kong Junbao tore up more than a dozen certificates in a row. His hands were tired, and he stuffed the other certificates back into the cabinet.
This is something he dug out from the storage room on the first floor, and deliberately tore it to anger his brother.
