Best Son-in-law

Liu Yangkun was filled with sadness when he said this, and slapped himself: "What your sister-in-law said may not be right, but one thing she said is right, I am just a useless wimp, not even a man. , Brother, you must not be like me in the future. Your brother is a lesson learned from the past. Don’t learn from me. You have been smart since you were a child. You must not live in our mountains and farm crops all your life, nor can you be someone’s son-in-law. This is so painful for you. If you can’t stand it, others will scold you, and you will get annoyed when you see a dog.”

Saying this, Liu Yangkun burst into tears again.

"Brother Yang Kun, don't say that. You are not a wimp. Your talent has never been revealed, and you have no chance to show it. I am born with talents that will be useful. You will definitely change in the future." Li Fan quickly stopped him. Liu Yangkun said.

"How will I change from now on?" Liu Yangkun's eyes were moist.

"I can't say that. You never had a chance. When you were a child, you worked hard to go to school. Didn't your family have no money to support you? It's not your fault if you can't go to school. When you grow up, you have the skills. As for your strength, those who grow crops in our village are getting poorer every year, or they go to the chemical factory and their health is getting worse every year, so you have to use your strength less."

"Later I came here and became my son-in-law. You farmed every day, you cleaned the house, cooked the meals, washed the clothes, and even poured the water for my sister-in-law's feet. Let me put it bluntly, my sister-in-law did it every day. Playing mahjong, you don’t do anything at all, but you are asked to do this and that. What achievements can you make? You are working all day long, do you still have time? Who can blame you for not achieving anything? You? You work so hard every day, who can blame you? That’s because life is helpless, who can’t complain? Do you have the opportunity to work hard?" Li Fan said to complain.

After hearing this, Liu Yangkun slowly calmed down. He lit another cigarette and slowly recovered after finishing it: "Brother, I have something to tell you clearly. Do you have a partner now?" ?”

"No?" Li Fan couldn't help but dodge his eyes as he said this, feeling a little guilty.

Liu Yangkun lit a cigarette, took a full puff, and continued: "You can't find a woman like your sister-in-law. A woman like her can't survive. Back then, I thought she was pretty, she spoke very softly, and she was good at everything she did. I knew it, so I agreed to be the son-in-law who came to my house. I told my parents to take it over nicely at the time, but it turned out that I had trouble with her in the past two years before she was willing to take it over."

"After I took her over, I didn't expect her to be filial to my parents-in-law. She was fine. She beat and scolded my parents. My parents pulled me so hard, so it was fine for me to bow my head in their house. After all, we were under the roof, but I could Want my parents to bow their heads too? I saw her scolding my parents. I wanted to beat her up, but my mother stopped me. She wanted us to live a good life and not make trouble. These days are hard-won. I, I just endured this, brother, do you think I’m a coward?"

"No, Brother Yang Kun, I'm not trying to make you happy. What I'm telling you is the truth. Men like you are real men. A man can bend and stretch. You're not bowing to her, you're just temporarily bowing to life. Just bow your head, a man who faces life seriously and works hard, who dares to say that he is not a man? Everyone has blood, who does not have blood? Which man does not have blood? Everyone wants to get hot and ignore everything, life or death Let out a breath of bad breath, but what happens after that? Can you still live this life? Not only you, but also your uncle and aunt, how sad they must be, you let it out in one breath, and they can't live anymore, and they blame themselves. Oh, I feel so uncomfortable all day long.”

"Brother Yang Kun, you are a real man if you endure this tone for your family and your uncle and aunt. You walk upright, sit up straight, and have a very stiff back. Needless to say, you are a coward or not. This life is not about fighting with a bayonet. How can I be a man?" You have so much courage to go up as soon as your head heats up?"

"And if you let out a bad breath, it might have bad consequences. If you go to jail, your uncle and aunt will have to commit suicide. Even if you don't have such bad consequences, you will be disgraced in the future. You beat women. Men are looked down upon by everyone, no matter what kind of woman they hit." Li Fan shook his head and said helplessly.

After hearing this, Liu Yangkun was very grateful and nodded repeatedly to Li Fan: "Brother, you still understand me."

"Brother Yangkun, I see what you said, come on, come on, drink and drink." Li Fan and Liu Yangkun clinked their glasses again, and both of them finished the wine in their glasses.

"Yes, they are all forced by life. How can there be so many cowards and non-cowards? Who can reach this point and not be embarrassed? You said it lightly, and it will be over as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip. I have to bear the consequences Ah." Liu Yangkun muttered.

"Brother, why don't you find a wife? I think you are quite old. At your age, I am already married." Liu Yangkun asked while eating peanuts. He told his story and wanted to hear it. About Li Fan.

"I'm not in a hurry. I plan to start my career in the next two years. When my career is successful, it won't be too late to find a partner." Li Fan said with a smile, and what he said was true to his heart.

"That's right, that's right. Brother, you have your own ideas. You can't just look at me and do everything. A man must have a career first, and then he will be strong. Otherwise, if you tell the truth, your woman will do the same. I despise you, as long as you don’t have a career, this brother understands it very well."

"But I still have to advise you. As I said just now, you have to feel your way to find a partner. Do you think you have a little girl you are in contact with now? Wait a little longer and see what your temperament is. This is a dragon painting. It's hard to draw a tiger's bones. It takes time to know people's faces but not their hearts. If you see a little girl who stays with you for a long time and remains the same, then she is good. The good things in this short period of time are all just pretending. Yes, be careful, if you find someone like your sister-in-law, you will suffer." Liu Yangkun warned as a person who has been through this.

"Hi, I got it, Brother Yang Kun." He meant well, so Li Fan could only nodded and agreed.

"Hey, I forgot one thing. After so many years, my memory is so bad that I was almost blinded by your kid." Liu Yangkun touched his head, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"What's going on?" Li Fan asked after taking a sip of wine.

This Liu Yangkunzang's wine was really spicy, and Li Fan felt gas rising from his forehead after taking a few sips.

"Don't you have something in mind? When I see you, it's Brother Li Fan. Brother Li Fan keeps calling you "kissable". What's your name? That little girl is so handsome, has a good temper, and is generous in doing things. , I think she is the best in the village, so you kid got it, what is her name?" Liu Yangkun rubbed his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect it.

"Han Qiaoqiao." Li Fan said her name in desperation.

"Yes, this is the girl. Aren't you in love with her? What's wrong? We're no longer together?" Liu Yangkun gossiped.

"I remember that this girl was good at studying and had good luck. She always got scholarships. When I returned to the village, she had just entered high school and her cultural level was different." Liu Yangkun recalled.

"Now I'm in college, Yannan Conservatory of Music, studying art." Li Fan added.

"Okay, now I'm a college student. I'm really a golden phoenix in a straw nest. It's different now. How about it? Are they still willing to be with you? If they are willing to be with you, you have to seize the opportunity. , What a nice girl." Liu Yangkun said.

"Drink, drink." Li Fan didn't want to mention it, so he asked Liu Yangkun to drink more.

"What's wrong? Is your matter dirty?" Liu Yangkun couldn't help but ask.

"No, we are not pornographic, we just want to think about it. I have to build a career, she has to go to college, and we don't have time to fall in love together. Let's just give each other some space and think about this relationship." Li Fan was helpless. , could only respond with one sentence.

"Yes, the burden on your shoulders is heavy. After all, I am a college student. If you don't have a career, they will definitely not be willing to do it. Hey, she asked you to calm down?" Liu Yangkun finally asked.

"I mentioned it." Li Fan said after taking a sip of wine.

"You're stupid. Why did you bring that up? I don't know what you were thinking." After hearing this, Liu Yangkun couldn't sit still and cursed at Li Fan.

"There are a lot of things going on here, Brother Yang Kun, I can't tell you, and I can't explain it clearly." Li Fan shook his head: "Forget it, let's not mention it, let's not mention it."

When Liu Yangkun saw Li Fan's expression changed, he realized that he really felt that it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and it was even harder for him as an outsider to intervene.

"Okay, let's not talk about it then." Liu Yangkun nodded and said, "Drink, drink."

"Brother Yang Kun, what are you and your sister-in-law going to do from now on? It's not a big deal. It's okay to do this to you, but it's not a big deal to do this to your parents-in-law. Since ancient times, filial piety has been the priority. How can anyone do things like this? , Hey, don't you and your sister-in-law have a child?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"No, she thought it was painful to have a baby, and she thought I didn't earn enough money to support myself, so she stopped giving birth. I said I wanted to go to the city to work, but she still didn't want to. She said if I left, who would be the breadwinner at home? What to do?" Liu Yangkun said helplessly.

"I treat you like the family's oxen and horses." Li Fan followed suit.

"Who says it's not? I also know that this is not an option. My parents have been putting up with her. I think if it doesn't work, I might as well divorce her. But I'm so old, I guess I won't be able to get a wife again. It's easy to get married, I think there are three unfilial piety, the worst is not having an offspring, so I have to have a child no matter what." Liu Yangkun shook his head and said.

"Brother Yang Kun, you are young and strong, and you are willing to live a good life. Someone will definitely see it." Li Fan couldn't stand Liu Yangkun's wife, but he couldn't tell her face to face, so he could only say no.

"Okay, brother, don't comfort me. If I have a child, see if I can survive this life. If I can, I will continue to live. If I can't, I will divorce her. I raised the child myself, so that's fine. If you leave a daughter in our family, you will be fulfilling your filial piety to your parents." Liu Yangkun's face was full of sorrow, and his words were trembling.

He knew the details of this helplessness in life only from his own experience.

These years have been worse than pigs and cows. His wife often uses the money he earns to buy new clothes, but he hasn't changed his outfit in several years.

His wife eats and drinks spicy food outside every day, and plays mahjong with others to lose money. Liu Yangkun doesn't even see the meat stars that he eats every day.

This is no better than not knowing it yet, as can be seen from this comparison.

It was also when he met an acquaintance today that Liu Yangkun spoke out all his inner sufferings. If he hadn't met Li Fan, his words would have been hidden deep in his heart.

It was Li Fan who made him say what he wanted to say the most and what he usually didn't dare to say.

It was Li Fan who allowed him to truly relax and enjoy the afterglow of freedom.

But this moment didn't last long.
