6. Male Supporting Roles in Period Novels (6)

Li Bishuang ran home in one breath. They were from the same village. Of course, the distance was not that far. But because she was crying and didn't want people passing by to see her crying, she ran as fast as the wind. So when she reached the door of her house, she was already there. Panting.

Mother Li happened to open the door to work in the fields. When she opened the door and saw her daughter, she was shocked: "Bishuang?"

"mom!"

Li Bishuang, who was originally full of grievances, suddenly seemed to have found a supporter when she saw Li's mother. Tears poured down her face and she cried out in grievance.

"Mom, you have to make the decision for me, Mom!"

Seeing her beloved daughter crying like this, Mother Li felt distressed for a long time. She immediately pulled her into the house and said, "Drink some water quickly. Bishuang, what's going on..."

Fifteen minutes later, Li Bishuang finally finished telling what happened while sobbing.

After she finished speaking, she cried even harder. She pulled Mother Li's sleeves and cried to Father Li, who was sitting on a stool silently smoking a cigarette: "On the first day I got married, she asked me to do it." If you want me to do this or that, forget it, why don’t you let me share a room with my man? I’m Jiaming’s wife!”

Mother Li always loved her the most. When she heard what she said, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. She suppressed her anger and comforted her daughter: "It's okay, Bishuang. Your parents will make the decision for you. We will go to their house right now!"

She got up and was about to go to Zhou's house, but found that Li's father was still sitting in the same position as before, and suddenly became anxious, "His dad, what are you doing? We Bishuang have suffered so much, and you are still like this?" No rush.”

Father Li blew out a puff of smoke, frowned and asked his wife, "You go find them, and then what?"

Mother Li didn't understand: "What then?"

"What did you tell people?"

He raised his head, frowned and asked: "Should we tell the Zhou family not to let Bishuang do the work, or should we tell her not to go to the ground? Let Zhou Jiaming sleep in the same room as her?"

"Of course I have said it all once." Mother Li said with a distressed look on her face: "Look at how wronged we Bishuang are."

"Whose daughter-in-law in the village doesn't work or go to the fields? If you ask that, people will just blame Bishuang for not being able to endure hardships and say we didn't teach her well."

Mother Li was stunned and didn't react for a while. She looked at her daughter and then at her husband: "But, our Bishuang has never done anything like that. We raised her to be white and tender. We didn't let Zhou Homemade practice.”

"She is our daughter, and we should raise her. What about the Zhou family? My mother-in-law only has a son. Bishuang just got married, so if he doesn't work hard to please her, it's okay. He ran home the day after he got married. , if you rush over to accuse me, will Bishuang's life be better in the future?"

"Everyone has said that they are not living in the same room because they are afraid that Bishuang will delay her son-in-law's college entrance examination. Now she is making a fuss about having a room with each other. What if her son-in-law fails the college entrance examination? Then isn't Bishuang a sinner?"

After the analysis, he said to Li's mother: "Bishuang ran back to her parents' house on the first day after she got married. Her mother-in-law may be very angry. You should send her back quickly and apologize properly. You should also let her calm down a little bit to avoid future troubles." It’s not good for Bishuang that she keeps this in mind.”

As Father Li said, he took another puff of cigarette and looked at his daughter teaching: "Also, don't talk about your mother-in-law cheating on you. Whose daughter-in-law is not doing this kind of work? You are also a daughter-in-law. Why?" You can’t do it. If people hear you say this, can you still have a reputation?”

Li Bishuang, who wanted her parents to help her, looked at her father in disbelief. She could not believe that her father had no intention of helping her.

Thinking of what Ye Cuixiang said, she couldn't accept it even more and couldn't help but said: "Li Hongfeng doesn't have to do this. We all got married in the same day, and her mother-in-law didn't let her do anything. She even asked Duan Qingen to take her shopping. Why should I You have to work hard."

"That's what you deserve."

Father Li became angry when he mentioned this. He had been injured in his early years, and the barefoot doctor said it would affect fertility, so he could only have one daughter, Li Bishuang, in his life. He doted on her so much that after knowing that his father joked about the engagement with the Duan family, he immediately The purpose of finding a way to implement this marriage was to allow Li Bishuang to marry into the wealthy Duan family and avoid having to live a hard life.

As a result, Li Bishuang was lucky. She didn't want the Duan family, which was kind to her, and she had to submit herself to the Zhou family when she became pregnant with a child.

However, no matter how angry he was, facing his daughter who was pregnant with a child, he could only endure his anger and help her find a way out.

She originally thought that she would marry into the Zhou family as she wished, and everything would be fine in the future. Unexpectedly, it was only the second day after her wedding that she would come back in such a hurry to express her grievances.

The more Father Li thought about it, the angrier he became, and he became rude when he spoke: "Although the Duan family only has two people, they have a shop and savings, so they don't have to go to the fields! What about the Zhou family? They are so poor that thieves can't even steal from their house. If they get anything, of course they have to work in the fields to make money. You should have thought of this before you decided to marry Zhou Jiaming. "

"Why do you think Hongfeng is living a good life? Just because your mother and I worked so hard to find her current in-laws. If you hadn't pushed for this marriage yourself, you don't have to work now and can go shopping. It’s you!”

Li Bishuang couldn't believe that her father was so short-sighted. He was just a farmer. What could he know? All he could think about was farming.

How could he know that the now poor Zhou family would become a wealthy family in the future, how would he know about Jiaming's future achievements, and how could he know how big a company he would work in.

He didn't know anything, so he could reprimand her with confidence. If he knew, he might be able to curry favor with his daughter now.

After Li's father finished speaking in one breath, he saw his daughter's unconvinced face and even a look of disdain. He felt like he was holding a breath in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out, and couldn't swallow it.

He regretted that he had not stopped the old man when he wanted to give Hongfeng to the Zhou family, and he had always acquiesced in the engagement between Hongfeng and the Zhou family.

At that time, he had just received his brother's money, and he was a little worried that if Hongfeng married well in the future, someone would support him to get the money back. Thinking that the Zhou family was orphaned and widowed, poor and miserable, Hongfeng could only rely on him to support him when he married.

But he didn't expect that the daughter he held in his hands would abandon the good marriage he had worked so hard to find and only want to get into the fire pit of the Zhou family.

Father Li looked at the condescension hidden in his daughter's eyes. Although he didn't know what she was condescending about, he didn't want to know now.

He thought about his daughter's pregnancy before marriage, Zhou's mother's weak appearance and mean temper, and Zhou Jiaming, a son-in-law who was very different from his daughter in terms of education and appearance, and his heart ached with boredom.

Maybe this is retribution. If he hadn't wanted to push Hongfeng into the pit of fire, his daughter wouldn't have gotten into the pit of fire so easily.

Although Father Li was usually silent, it was undeniable that he was the backbone of the family. When he spoke, no matter how distressed Mother Li was, she could only send her unwilling and aggrieved daughter back to the Zhou family.

When they arrived at Zhou's house, they knocked on the door. It was Zhou's mother who opened the door. When she saw the mother and daughter standing outside the door, her face suddenly became ugly.

For the sake of her daughter, Mother Li could only pretend she hadn't seen it, and apologized with a shy smile: "My mother-in-law, I'm so sorry. Bishuang has never left her father and I since she was a child. Maybe she just got married. I’m not used to it, and I’m a little homesick. No, she went back to her parents’ house to see us without even saying hello to you. You see, she even brought you a basket of eggs.”

As she spoke, she lifted the basket up with some pain.

Logically speaking, she had already walked down the steps, and Zhou's mother should have invited people back to sit down, but she didn't. She only glanced at Li Bishuang with a dark face, took the basket of eggs, and said very coldly: "Then. Thank you to my mother-in-law for sending her back."

After saying that, she grabbed Li Bishuang with one hand and pushed the door directly with her body.

It was as if Li's mother was not even allowed to enter.

It stands to reason that she would be angry no matter what if she treated Li Bishuang's biological mother like this, but she looked at Zhou's mother's gloomy face and dared not say a word.

She knew how much Zhou Jiaming listened to his mother's words. She had just married. If she had a dispute with Zhou's mother, there was no guarantee that Zhou Jiaming would not dislike her.

Mother Zhou didn't know what Li Bishuang was thinking. She only saw that her daughter-in-law didn't even dare to speak out when her own mother was wronged, and she suddenly felt reassured.

Sure enough, a slut who has a child in her belly before she gets married has the confidence to go against her mother-in-law.

He dared to sneer at her before, causing her to lose such a big person in front of Ye Cuixiang. Let’s see how she will deal with Li Bishuang in the future!

Knowing that Li Bishuang did not dare to go against her, Zhou's mother led people directly into the house and said nonchalantly: "My sister-in-law and niece are here and are reading in Jiaming's room. Please treat her well."

Li Bishuang had an impression of this sister-in-law's niece. She had heard of it several times in her previous life. It was said that she was Zhou Jiaming's aunt's niece. She had a very good relationship with Zhou Jiaming. Later, she also went to college and worked in the company where Zhou Jiaming worked. She was also very good at it. She was so fond of Zhou's mother that she was said to be raised as her own daughter.

Later, it was said that the niece was pregnant out of wedlock. Zhou's mother, who always hated women's indiscretions, did not dislike her at all. Instead, she specially took her to her place of residence and took good care of her, which showed how good the relationship was.

What puzzled Li Bishuang was that Li Hongfeng had a bad relationship with her niece in her previous life. Zhou Jiaming even expressed his dissatisfaction to her several times because Li Hongfeng moved out willfully after a quarrel with her sister.

Li Bishuang felt that Li Hongfeng was stupid. He was just a relative and could only be supported. What good could he do if he had to go against her husband and mother-in-law?

She felt that she was much smarter than Li Hongfeng, so after listening to Zhou's mother's words, she immediately put a smile on her face, opened the curtain and entered the house to entertain the girl Zhou Jiaming should call sister.

She can definitely do better than Li Hongfeng, for sure.

***

At the entrance of the village, Duan Qingen and Li Hongfeng came back, chatting and laughing all the way. They chatted all the way. It was a good thing for the newlyweds, at least they could get to know each other.

"I feel that once you get married, you can only be intimate with one person in your life, unless you have a bad relationship."

After listening to what Duan Qingen said with a smile, Li Hongfeng also relaxed and expressed his thoughts: "Me too, cheating after marriage makes me feel disgusting. If this happens, I may want to divorce."

Duan Qingen didn't show any repulsive expression and just asked her: "What if we can't get divorced temporarily?"

"Then I'll move out."

After she finished speaking, Duan Qingen took her hand directly, with serious eyes, "I promise, you will never have a reason to move out in this life."

Li Hongfeng looked at her newlywed husband blankly, her face blushing a little.

"Um."

She agreed softly, like a rabbit just out of the nest, cautiously and a little excited, and took the initiative to hold Duan Qingen's hand.

The two were walking forward happily. When they passed Zhou's house, they suddenly heard a sharp voice with suppressed anger coming from inside: "No, this dress is still new. I haven't worn it many times!"

Li Hongfeng recognized that it was her cousin's voice. She hesitated whether to leave immediately. However, Duan Qingen held her hand and led her to stand still. He turned sideways and made a gesture of silence with a little smirk.

"Hush, don't make a sound, let's watch the fun."

Li Bishuang in the room was about to explode. She pulled at one of her skirts, her face full of anger, but she still had to suppress her anger and tried to speak in a nice voice: "You have already taken several of my skirts. This one is my favorite, I can't give it to you."

A girl wearing a white skirt, who looked very pitiful, tilted her head and looked at Zhou Jiaming aggrievedly: "Brother, I didn't want it, I just thought it was beautiful and wanted to take a look."

After saying that, she turned and looked at Li Bishuang, revealing a timid expression: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I made you misunderstand, I thought it was nothing to just take a look."

Li Bishuang was about to explode when she saw her aggrieved look. She was the one who had taken away several skirts!

Does this woman know how expensive clothes are now, and how rare such a beautiful style is. Such a style would not be considered outdated even when she died in her previous life.

She was angry, but Zhou Jiaming frowned and looked at his newlywed wife in disbelief, saying with condemnation: "It's just a skirt. If Beibei likes it, give it to her."

Li Bishuang was very upset, but she didn't dare to get angry at Zhou Jiaming. She could only swallow her anger and whisper: "But Beibei has already taken several of my skirts. I'm almost out of clothes to change."

"Didn't you bring two big boxes of clothes?" Zhou Jiaming thought Li Bishuang was a little too stingy, but she had just married and it was normal for her to have some village women's temper. He would teach her slowly in the future.

"Okay, give the clothes to Beibei quickly. We still have books to read. If you make a fuss like this, people will think something happened in our family if they hear it."

"Really give it to me!!" Liu Beibei was full of surprise and looked at Zhou Jiaming with admiration: "Brother, you are so nice! Thank you, brother!"

Li Bishuang on the side: "..."

It was obviously her clothes that were given away, why did this woman thank Jiaming!

Shouldn't she thank herself? ? ?
