Chapter 547 Mother's Marriage

Before she could ask the question in her mind, Ms. Qian's mind started to become confused. In a trance, time quickly went back to 42 years ago.

A man's cold voice came to her ears: "Your name is Li Yuehong?"

When she looked up, she saw that she was in a simple room with a red enamel washbasin on the washbasin stand and a new sewing machine next to it.

Her mother, Li Yuehong, wearing a vintage wedding dress, sat on the edge of the bed, with her head lowered and a shy look on her face.

My mother was really young and pretty at that time! Her fair face had no wrinkles, her eyebrows were curved, her nose was straight, and her red lips seemed to be smiling.

Father Qian Dongliang, wearing an old-fashioned black suit and a square face, was also staring at his mother blankly.

It seems that this should be when my parents just got married.

Why am I here?

"Dad! Mom!"

She stepped forward and called out, but no one responded.

They seemed unable to see her or hear her voice.

Ms. Qian responded: So the anchor used this method to let me see my parents' life experience? Could these images be produced by hypnosis?

My mother mentioned that their marriage was arranged and they had never met each other before they got married. Whether the person you marry is good or bad is all up to luck.

Looking at my parents, they seem to be a good match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Then the scene changed and it was the next day.

The mother-in-law came and knocked on the door early, calling Li Yuehong to get up and make breakfast.

Qian Dongliang has a large family, including younger brothers and sisters, parents and grandmother.

In the past, Qian Dongliang's mother had been in charge of all the household chores in the Qian family. After Li Yuehong came into the family, all the chores fell on her shoulders.

It seemed as if they had married not a daughter-in-law but a successor to the household.

Li Yuehong was called up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for the whole family.

After a busy morning, when it was time to eat, I found that all the seats were occupied.

Only after the mother-in-law had finished her meal did she give up her seat to her, and before leaving she said, "Eat faster, and wash the dishes after you finish."

In that era, women had a much harder life than they do now.

Her husband Qian Dongliang was like a block of ice that could not be warmed up, always with a stern and cold face.

When eating, he would not even help serve the dishes. He had to wait for his wife to hand him the chopsticks and bowl before he would move.

Qian Dongliang's behavior is exactly the same as his father and brother.

It's ridiculous that such a poor family has three masters.

In the evening, the mother-in-law fetched two basins of water. She took one basin to her husband and asked Li Yuehong to take the other basin to Qian Dongliang.

Seeing her daughter-in-law standing still, the mother-in-law said coldly: "Your husband has been busy in the fields all day, suffering and tired. As a daughter-in-law, you should bring him water to wash his face and feet. Why are you still standing there? Take it away!"

That was the first time Li Yuehong brought foot washing water to Qian Dongliang.

After putting the water down, she said to her husband, "Can you fetch water yourself in the future? Or, it would be more convenient to wash in the yard."

Qian Dongliang glanced at his wife coldly and said, "No."

"Why not? You have hands and feet, why do you have to let me serve you?"

"You worked in the fields all day, but I was also busy. You are tired, but am I not tired too?"

The husband didn't say anything. After wiping his feet, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, leaving his wife with an indifferent back.

The next night, her mother-in-law asked her to prepare water for Qian Dongliang to wash his feet.

If she didn't move, her mother-in-law would criticize her for not being virtuous enough. Her father-in-law didn't talk much, but he looked at her with cold eyes.

The brother-in-law smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, isn't it just bringing water? It's not a big deal. There's no need to make a fuss and make everyone unhappy."

The family is of one mind and one spirit, how can she, a newly married young daughter-in-law, compete with them?

There was no way out. With the mentality of less trouble is worse than more, she gave in.

Therefore, the habit of preparing water for her husband to wash his feet was maintained until his old age, and Ms. Qian, as a daughter, naturally knew about it.

After a long time, the daughter became a little numb and still felt that her mother was willing to serve her father in this way.

Only now did I realize that these were the rules set by my father's family for my mother, and my father, as the direct beneficiary, acquiesced in these rules and continued to use them until his old age.

Ms. Qian saw that her mother was really hard-working at that time. Not only did she have to take care of her father's family, but she also had to feed pigs and chickens and help with farm work. She had no free time all day long.

But compared to physical hardship, mental depression is more unbearable.

Qian Dongliang was a well-known honest man, and his neighbors praised him for his hard work. If someone called him for help, he would go to help without hesitation.

But what about at home?

When he is at home, he is like a piece of wood, like a lump of ice.

He never asks his wife how she is doing, or if she is tired. Why is she crying again?

Even when his wife had her period and had unbearable stomach pain, he just said indifferently: "Just lie down for a while, get up and cook! My father and I still have to work in the fields. We don't have the energy if we don't eat."

"I feel sick in my stomach, can't you show some concern for me? You are my man!"

"I'm not a doctor. What's the use of me caring?"

After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left. He was so cold that he didn't even want to argue.

Once Li Yuehong returned to her parents' home.

After much thought, she finally told her parents: "I want a divorce."

Father Li slammed his hand on the table, making the dishes clatter. "How long have you been married? You want to get a divorce? There has never been a divorce in our family for several generations! If you dare to get a divorce, I will break your legs!"

Li's mother also advised: "Dongliang is an honest man, hardworking and down-to-earth. Who wouldn't praise him? Even if the couple has any conflicts, they always make up after a fight. Don't mention divorce casually, or the villagers will laugh at you. In this day and age, who would divorce casually?"

"What? He doesn't know how to be considerate? All men are so careless! You just got married, it's normal to feel a little uncomfortable. Just give it some time to adjust."

"Look at your cousin's husband. He gambles all the time and fights with your cousin all the time. Your cousin hasn't asked for a divorce, but she still gives birth to his children."

"As a woman, how can you live your life anyway?"

In those days, especially in remote rural areas, divorce was really rare. Once you got married, you had to grit your teeth and endure even if you jumped into a fire pit. Even if your life burned to ashes, you had to scatter them on your husband's grave.

Without the support of her natal family, Li Yuehong had no choice but to give up the idea of divorce.

Not long after, she found out she was pregnant.

However, the pregnancy did not make her husband show much joy.

Li Yuehong always felt that her husband didn't like to laugh. Oh no, he just didn't like to laugh at himself.

When guests come to his house, when facing relatives and friends, he is a thoughtful and reasonable person, and he will chat and laugh with them.

I just don't know why, he never smiles when facing himself.

Once, Li Yuehong couldn't help asking him, "Can't you just smile at me?"

Qian Dongliang said, "What's so funny?"

"Then why are you so polite to others but always so cold to me?"

"Of course we have to be polite when entertaining guests. Aren't you tired of pretending to be so polite in front of you?"

"But……"

"Stop talking nonsense. Turn off the lights and take off your clothes!"
