Chapter 1943: Giving Up
Li Xiaoyan’s data needs a lot of memory space to store if the camera is turned on throughout the day. Generally, the records are kept for one month.
She also knew that the Le family was fine and did not look at the camera, so she took the photo and waited for a month before spreading it. She thought that the Le family had no camera records long ago, and Le Yun would know about it when she waited. You can also blame the reporter and say that you got the photo from the media.
Therefore, even if an old man said that she went to the second floor to secretly take pictures, she was determined not to admit it. However, she did not expect that the Lejia's cameras would be monitored by someone.
The words of the old man surnamed Hua were like a heavy stick hitting the top of his head. Li Xiaoyan's eyes widened in fear, trembling as she looked at the old man staring at her.
Sister-in-law Meng finally knew why the Zhou elders were becoming more and more indifferent to her, and she also knew why the Le family girl rejected her request on Qingming Day.
For a moment, it felt like someone had slapped me in the face, and my face was burning.
That sense of shame made her want to crawl into the cracks of the ground. Only by gritting her teeth and closing her mouth did she not cry.
Mr. Yan revealed the truth, calmly turned sideways, and patted Village Chief Zhou on the shoulder: "Mr. Zhou, don't be angry with me, the Zhou family. The little girl has seen too many strong winds and waves. A certain The girl's little tricks are not enough for her."
"I'm not angry anymore. I'm so angry that I have to worry about Xiao Lele." Village Chief Zhou shouted After talking about it, the anger in my heart subsided a little
"That's it, do you have time to have breakfast here?"
"Let's go some other time, today is Saturday, I have to go back quickly Stare at the library." Village Chief Zhou declined the meal and left without even looking at the Montessori mother and daughter.
Mr. Yan nodded to the Zhou family mother and son, turned around, and strode back to the Le family's main room. He turned back and slammed the door shut, shutting out the commotion and taking a look. Not seeing is pure.
Grandma Zhou watched Old Yan teach the Li girl, turned around, and went home without saying a word.
Brother Zhou looked at Li Xiaoyan, who clearly didn’t seem to realize her mistake. He sighed, turned around and chased after his old mother. The girl from the Li family should let her mother teach her, and no one else could discipline her.
He caught up with his old mother in a few steps and supported her, feeling sad: "Mom, it's because I'm blind and can't recognize people well, which makes you lose face. If you feel uncomfortable, just scold me. Let's do it."
Grandma Zhou knew that her son was feeling uncomfortable, so she let out a long sigh: "I don't blame you, don't have any burdens on your mind, just do whatever you need to do after dinner, you still have a son. Need to be raised."
"Okay." Brother ZhouNodding, he helped the old mother go home, then went back to the kitchen to continue making food.
The old people in Lejia were closed and turned away, and the Zhou family members walked away one after another. Mrs. Meng’s strength collapsed, and her tears fell one after another like broken beads.
How could Xiaoyan become like this?
She couldn’t understand that a few years ago, Xiaoyan was a sensible child. She knew that her family was poor and that she could only make a difference by studying. She always studied hard and understood that it was not easy for her. She never caused trouble. No.
Why do I become less and less worried when I come to Meicun? I make mistakes and lie, and I still don’t repent after making a mistake once.
Mrs. Meng couldn’t understand why her daughter had changed so quickly. She was angry and wanted to give her a good beating, but looking at the child’s pale face, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
When Xiaoyan was a child, she received too many beatings from her alcoholic father. When she was older, she would tremble when she saw her father holding a stick. After being beaten once, she would have nightmares for several days.
Mrs. Meng felt sorry for her girl and wanted to teach her a lesson with a stick. Thinking of the suffering the child had suffered when she was a child, she couldn't bear to beat and scold her.
She felt a dull pain in her heart. Her child made a mistake and she failed to discipline her, thus disappointing the Zhou family.
However, Xiaoyan is the flesh that fell off her body, what can she do?
Caught between the Zhou family and their children, Mrs. Meng was in a dilemma. She wiped her tears and walked silently towards the Zhou family, walked through the village road, and walked into the Zhou family.
Stepping into the door of the Zhou family, she took a deep breath and went into the kitchen to meet the Zhou family's mother and son. She didn't want to be separated from her children, and similarly, she didn't want to give up her second marriage.
The Zhou family is very nice. The elders of the Zhou family are gentle and open-minded. Zhou Xialong is also a man who knows both cold and hot things. Being able to marry into such a family for the second time is like what people say: Got shit and got shit luck.”
But now, because of her daughter, she also knew that her mother-in-law and Zhou Xialong's hearts were probably cold, and her marriage was also on the red line.
If the second marriage does not come to an end, Mrs. Meng can also imagine the consequences. She will not be able to survive in the Zhou family. It will be impossible to find another partner in Fang County in the future. Xiaoyan will definitely be affected at school. Exclude.
Whether it was for herself or for Xiaoyan, Mrs. Meng wanted to fight for it. When she opened the door and saw her mother-in-law and Zhou Xialong glanced sideways at her and then turned away, alarm bells rang in her heart.
The eyes of the Zhou family’s mother and son were... calmer than before.
Before today, the attitudes of Zhou's elders and mother-in-law towards her were becoming increasingly dull, but at least I felt that they were still tolerant of her and there was still hope.
Just now their mother and sonThe two of them looked at her with too calm eyes, just like going to the market and seeing strangers looking at the people walking across the street, without any emotion at all.
The sense of crisis suddenly surged into her heart, and Mrs. Meng's heart was cold. She immediately admitted her mistake: "Mom, Xia Long, it was my fault in teaching that caused you trouble. I... Don’t go to work in the morning and have a heart-to-heart talk with Xiaoyan at home.”
“Xiaomeng, this is already the third time, there will be a fourth time, no need to say anything else, I am the Master of the Zhou Family Temple, There is no room for your girl’s giant Buddha.” Grandma Zhou expressed her decision calmly.
"I'll tell the foreman." Brother Zhou just said that he would help Mrs. Meng ask for leave from the foreman.
What if, when Mr. Yan came out of Lejia and told what Li Xiaoyan had done, Mrs. Meng would have beaten Li Xiaoyan directly, or if Mr. Yan had returned to Lejia, Mrs. Meng would have beaten her on the spot. Li Xiaoyan gave her a lesson, and then mother, son, and Uncle Man also looked at Mrs. Meng.
What Li Xiaoyan has done has shown her character problems. If Mrs. Meng resolutely corrects her daughter's misunderstanding on the spot, it means that she is telling the truth.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Meng did not have the determination to correct it in time. She even wanted to excuse Li Xiaoyan.
Many times, Aunt Meng behaves like a reasonable woman. This time, Grandma Zhou and Brother Zhou also noticed that regarding Li Xiaoyan’s matter, Aunt Meng and Granny Li’s actions were actually very similar. They all felt sorry for Li Xiaoyan, and they only paid lip service to education.
The difference is that Mrs. Meng’s doting on her daughter is not as serious as that of Granny Li.
When Li Xiaoyan made a mistake, Mrs. Meng was reluctant to even scold her in front of others, and the few words she said afterwards were just a mild sermon, which had no effect at all.
If preaching is useful, Li Xiaoyan will not make the mistake again in just a few months after making the mistake in the first month.
Li Xiaoyan knew that she was not allowed to go to the second and third floors of Lejia without permission, and she secretly went to take pictures, and even spread rumors in school. It can also be seen that Li Xiaoyan and Zhou Chunmei are no different, they are both crooked. .
Knowing clearly that her daughter was spreading rumors in school, Meng’s wife pretended not to know, and knowing clearly what Li Xiaoyan had done, she still wanted to cover up the past. This was undoubtedly tantamount to indulging Li Xiaoyan. Even if she had a heart-to-heart talk ten to eight times, Li Xiaoyan would not Possibility of repentance.
From the attitude of Sister Meng, it can be seen that Sister Meng and Granny Li are essentially the same person, and Grandma Zhou and Brother Zhou no longer have many expectations.
The attitude of the Zhou family’s mother and son also showed that they were very dissatisfied with Xiaoyan. The other half of Mrs. Meng’s heart was also cold, and her voice was dry: “Mom... I... will definitely teach Xiaoyan well. She made a mistake, you don’t have to say it, I have no shame in letting her stay in the Zhou family again.”
Grandma Zhou said “hmm” and that was it.knew.
Brother Zhou also said something, Ms. Li’s surname is Li, if he said something about strict discipline, Granny Li would definitely say “Xiaoyan is still a child” after knowing about it, and she thought he was too meddlesome.
Mrs. Meng’s heart was full of bitterness. Xiaoyan made a mistake for the first time. Grandma Zhou didn’t say anything harsh, but she told her to take care of it to prevent the child from going astray.
Some time ago, I heard from the villagers that her daughter was showing off and spreading rumors at school. The elders of the Zhou family did not interfere, but only indirectly hinted that she should educate her children well.
This time, Village Chief Zhou didn’t save any face for scolding. The Zhou family’s mother and son didn’t say a word in front of Le’s house, and now they don’t care about how she educates their children. They clearly care about Xiaoyan. I was so disappointed that I didn’t want to ask any more questions.
Comparing Grandma Zhou’s attitude after confinement, Mrs. Meng’s heart felt so cold that she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but she couldn’t even shed tears.
The Zhou family also left, and even her mother left her behind. Li Xiaoyan finally couldn't stand, her legs and feet became weak, and she fell down.
Fear welled up in her heart.
She was afraid.
She thought that Le Yun would not care about the rumors among the school students and would not investigate them. Who would have thought that Le Yun's bodyguard would even care about such trivial matters.
She was afraid that Leyun would go to school and say that she had taken the photos secretly. If people at school knew that she had taken the photos secretly, she and Leyun were not that close, and she didn’t know how they would laugh. she.
Feeling frightened and frightened, Li Xiaoyan whimpered and cried for a while. When she heard her own cry, she felt terribly quiet. She looked around and saw no one, so she got up and ran towards Zhou's house.
Her legs were weak, and she didn’t know what the severity was when she ran. She stumbled back to Zhou’s house, but she couldn’t hear anyone talking. She didn’t dare to see where the Zhou family was, so she went directly to the lower room of Zhou’s house. , climbed upstairs and hid in his room to cry.
Brother Zhou and Grandma Zhou also heard the footsteps and knew that Li Xiaoyan was back, but no one went to see her. No matter how worried Mrs. Meng was about her daughter, she didn’t want to make Zhou’s mother and son more disappointed with her, so she didn’t go out. .
Brother Zhou made breakfast, and after dinner he rode his motorcycle to the construction site. Grandma Zhou washed the dishes, mixed a bucket of pig milk with dishwashing water, and carried it to the pig pen behind the house to feed the pigs. I also feed a group of chickens that are active under the eaves at the back of the house.
After feeding the chickens and waiting for the pigs to finish eating, she put away the pig trough. Grandma Zhou tidied up, locked the door to the upper room, and went to talk to Grandma Zhou Man.
In the past, he and Zhou Xialong did the work of washing the dishes and feeding the pigs. Today, Zhou Xialong did not let him wash the dishes, and Grandma Zhou also took over the housework of feeding the pigs. Aunt Meng felt even heavier, and Zhou Grandma...don't treat her as the Zhou family's wife anymore.
