Chapter 75 The Bund
Regarding the arrangement of shopping in the afternoon, Murong Qingyun said from the bottom of his heart that 100,000 people were unwilling, but under the pressure of Sister Qiu Wei, he had to accompany Yang Mengmeng to the mall. She always asks you if my husband's dress looks good, whether I wear this jewelry or not, and so on. If she says the negative words of what she likes, it attracts her white eyes.
In Naruto, white eyes are the unique skills of the Muye Hyuga clan, and Yang Mengmeng is good at using white eyes. This white eye is not the other white eye, Murong Qingyun believes that her white eye is more lethal. He guessed that her previous life should have been a fish, otherwise she would not like to roll her eyes so much.
This time it's Murong Qingyun's turn to be captured as a strong man. He followed Yang Mengmeng out of the door helplessly. The two mothers sat at home drinking tea and talking about the two little guys. This topic is the eternal common point of people with huge differences between the two levels. They won't feel bored and tired when talking about children like men talking about women.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, Murong Qingyun consulted Yang Mengmeng and said, "Daughter-in-law, we are not going shopping. The sun is so good in the afternoon. We might as well go to the Bund to bask in the sun, drink tea and talk about your family affairs.
Yang Mengmeng unconsciously repeated, "My family?"
"Ye�. You never told me anything about your relatives. I always thought you and I were the same people without relatives. When I had lunch, I knew that you were a relative. Murong Qingyun sighed.
"There is no difference between having and not having." Yang Mengmeng suddenly looked up at the blue sky and white clouds thoughtfully and said, "Since you want to hear it, let's go to the Bund and let me tell you in detail. This story is full of overlapping colors of comedy and tragedy. In the past, I didn't want to mention it because I didn't want to bring up a sad past. Now, I think it's a happy thing."
stopped a passing taxi and the two got into the back seat of the taxi. Murong Qingyun told his brother to go to the Bund, and then he rushed to the Bund as soon as he stepped on the accelerator. The Bund of Hedong City imitates the shouting of the Bund, and the two are completely different. A clear water river flows between the two cities. The east side of the river is today's Hedong City, while the west side of the river is Hexi City. The two cities are bounded by rivers and a bridge to connect the two places.
Thirty years ago, the Qingshui River was indeed clear, and people could drink it directly. Thirty years later, the name of Qingshui River is more appropriate, and people who want to commit suicide can drink on the water. The two cities have invested more than 100 million yuan to build sewage treatment projects. After the completion of the project, the water in the Qingshui River is still dirty and shows no sign of improvement.
Fishers are often seen on the sewage pipes. From time to time, small fishing boats appear on the river, and the dying fishmen stand on the boat to cast nets for fishing. The most amazing thing is that you can get multiple kinds of fish. The strength of the pig is nothing compared with the strength of the fish. These contaminated fish can still be sold and eaten.
After getting out of the car, the two walked on the pedestrian street and sat down at the end of a tea place along the Bund. The business at the end of the street was deserted, so the boss's wife greeted them enthusiastically. The two ordered the two most expensive cups of tea here and spent 16 oceans. The two leaned against their plastic chairs to bask in the sun and felt lazy and comfortable.
Yang Mengmeng, holding a straw in her hand, stirred the ** in the glass and smiled and said, "At the beginning of the story, you have to listen carefully. I will only say it once. In the future, I will never mention this matter again.
Murong Qingyun actually didn't have much interest in this story. He just heard the preface and wanted to listen to it curiously: "If it evokes your sad memories, I won't listen to it. It's quite troublesome for you to cry in public. The people who don't know the truth think what have happened to you? In case the group gets angry and beats me, it's not very unfair.
Yang Mengmeng covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Not long ago, I cried with pain when I mentioned this matter, but now I can only laugh and cry."
Murong Qingyun saw that there was nothing unusual on her face. He blew a few mouthfuls of tea floating in the cup and smiled, "I will listen to your story."
Yang Mengmeng pulled herself closer to him, held her cheek with her left hand, and her eyes were full of memories of the past: "This story is very long and even sounds ridiculous."
Murong Qingyun smiled and said, "Then you don't have to talk about it. When it comes to your chat, it's endless.
"I hate it, I have to say it. The more you don't want to hear, the more I want to talk about it. Yang Mengmeng hit his hand on the table with a smile and said, "You know how to bully others and make me happy. You are a standard bad guy, and a man who likes to bully his wife is not a real man.
After a small episode, Yang Mengmeng began to talk about her experience. Yang's mother has a sister, and she is the youngest in the family. Although her sister's family is not rich, she can save a little spare money every month. Aunt Yang is a very snobbish woman. When Yang's father was still alive, the Yang family's economic conditions were relatively good. It was the most difficult period for the Yang family. They often had to get their little sister's Zhou Ji to live. After all, it was very difficult for ordinary workers who had no skills to support their two children.
After Yang's father's death, the Yang family lost their main source of income and their living conditions turned sharply. Yang's mother began to be widowed at a young age. Many people advised her to remarry, but she just didn't agree. After all, Yang Mengmeng was born. She was afraid that her stepfather would treat her daughter badly, so she decided to bear the burden of making a living with her weak shoulders. Aunt Yang alienated their mother and daughter little by little, and finally made almost no contact. As the children grew up and stepped into the society to participate in work, the economic conditions of the Yang family began to improve, and they looked down on their little sister more and were afraid that she would come to her house to fight the autumn wind.
Yang's relatives can't go there. Except for the third brother of the Yang family, everyone else pretended not to know or was busy with work. They all forgot that Yang's father was good to each other. When Yang's father died, Yang's mother held Yang Mengmeng in her arms and had already cried into tears. Thanks to the help of her neighbors, Yang's mother could take care of his afterth. In winter, a pair of orphans and widows guarded Yang's father at home. That miserable look was really sad and smelled tears. The next day, the neighbors were really in sight, so someone came to accompany the mother and daughter to watch the night.
After Yang Mengmeng slowly grew up, Yang's mother told her all this. After listening to it, she cried a long time ago, and then she understood that it was not easy for her mother. When Yang Mengmeng went to primary school, her family fell into an economic crisis again. After all, the double pressure of tuition and living expenses weighed on Yang's mother's shoulder alone. Yang's mother went to find relatives of both sides, but what she got was their white eyes and ridiculing.
When she was struggling with nothing she could do, it was really an endless road. Murong Qiuwei came here to live with Murong Qingyun. Yang's mother's strength probably moved God, which gave her the opportunity to change the fate of mother and daughter. Qiu Wei learned that Yang's mother was a strong woman and a responsible mother, so she was determined to help her overcome the difficulties. Yang's mother has always believed that Yang's father blessed their mother and daughter in heaven.
Murong Qiuwei chose this because she believed that her son should be raised in poverty and her daughter should be raised richly. She doesn't want her son to be a dboy. At that time, someone was selling a house in this area, and this house happened to be opposite the Yang family. Although the house is a little dilapidated, the living area is still relatively large. The front and back of the house add up to 128 square meters, which is enough for two mother and son to live in. She spent some money to repair it for the safety of her stay. The cost of repair is ten times that of buying a house.
Murong Qiuwei is not from Hedong City, but from Beijing. She was born in a scholarly family and has been called a talented and beautiful girl by everyone since she was a child. At the age of 14, she entered the first university in the country without any suspense. At the age of 20, she has begun to study for a doctorate in psychology at Harvard University. Arrogant, she has always regarded men in the world as nothing. When she met the other half of her life, she quickly fell in love. This person is Murong Qingyun's father, Ouyang Yunhao. His father has also been known as a talented teenager and the future and hope of the family since he was a child.
The result of two male and female geniuses together is gradually developing from competing with each other to admiring each other. In those years, the two died in love. Finally, they registered for marriage in the United States. The union of the two has not been opposed by the Ouyang family. After all, Murong Qiuwei's origin and her own conditions have been affirmed by the core figures of the family.
After China implemented the reform and opening up centered on economic construction, both of them have the ideal of making a earth-shaking cause. Murong Qiuwei followed Ouyang Yunhao to China with the newborn Ouyang Qingyun in her arms. A few years ago, the husband and wife loved each other. Later, Ouyang Yunhao began to be more and more interested. In a fierce quarrel between the two, Murong Qiuwei left the capital with Ouyang Qingyun and came to Hedong City. Since then, Ouyang Qingyun has changed his name to Murong Qingyun, and he has forgotten his vague memory of his childhood.
More than ten years later, Murong Qiuwei seems to have figured it out. Successful men always have three wives and four concubines. Although this kind of man's behavior is understandable, she can't accept it. She thinks this view is extremely unfair and deeply resistant. When it happened to her son, she became extremely open.
When she was young, Murong Qiuwei was busy with her career, so she entrusted Murong Qingyun to Yang's mother to take care of. In fact, Sister Qiu Wei asked Yang's mother to take care of his life. She does things in education by herself. Every month, she will give Yang's mother a lot of living expenses. Subsequently, the life of the Yang family quickly improved.
After Yang's father died, Yang's mother once regretted that she did not give birth to a son for him. Since she was able to take care of Murong Qingyun, Yang's mother has always regarded him as her own son. When Murong Qingyun and Yang Mengmeng quarreled, Yang's mother would stand on his side. Yang Mengmeng often felt wronged and often went to Murong Qiuwei to find comfort. When Qiu Wei first saw her, she liked her very much and always regarded her as her own daughter.
When Yang Mengmeng finished telling the first half of her family's story, she stopped drinking water and moistened her throat, and continued to tell the second half. The first half is indeed a tragedy, but the second half is a comedy. After the Yang family's mother and daughter were taken care of by Murong Qiuwei, their economic conditions improved, especially Yang Mengmeng had begun to live a princess-like life.
Many things she has played are things that ordinary rich children have never played. Naturally, the children of the relatives of the Yang family are extremely greedy and ask their parents one after another. These things are not only expensive, but also not sold in Hedong City at all. After crying in front of their parents, they changed from looking down on Yang Mengmeng to trying to please her.
Under the careful care of Sister Qiu Wei, she slowly came out of the shadow of her childhood, without sadness, no inferiority... Only then did she develop the character of today's scheming, naive and innocent little girl. The snobbish relatives of the Yang family slowly came to abatery with Yang's mother one by one. After all, she found a big backer. Yang's mother repays her grievances with virtue, doesn't care about the past, and still maintains the proper dealings with them. The arrogant Murong Qiuwei rarely admires people, which really admires Yang's mother's extremely broad mind and excellent quality. Assuming that something happened to Sister Qiu Wei, she would definitely put up with it when she had no strength. Once she recovers and has strength, she will definitely double her revenge. She never thought of herself as a saint. I can't be a saint myself. The reason why I am keen on doing good is to do what I think I should do, and I don't seek fame or profit.
The huge differences in status, education and culture between the two women do not alienate them, but make them more closely connected. The two have admiration for each other, so they can get along very well. The most interesting thing that happens to them is that they like each other's children more than their own children.
Mother Yang's birthday must be lively, and the purpose is to let such a kind mother have a good time. Good people should be rewarded, and bad people should be severely punished. This is the New Year that Sister Qiu Wei upholds. Murong Qiuwei's evaluation of her is that although Yang's mother has little contribution to society and does not earn much money, she has the virtues of traditional Chinese women and should be one of the representatives of all mothers and the real backbone of the country. On the moral level, she is not as good as herself.
