Life is more than just living

Compared with Cheng Qi's apparent calmness, Cheng Qi's parents are now at a loss and seeking medical treatment urgently. On the one hand, he was anxious to cash out the old department store in his hand, and on the other hand, he was borrowing money from everywhere to prepare to rescue his son. Cheng Dechen approached Lin Zhiyuan several times to get money from the company, but failed. He had to ask someone to borrow money, but the money he borrowed was a drop in the bucket. The couple never consulted Cheng Qi. In their opinion, Cheng Qi was just a child and could not solve anything. Cheng Qi was also clean, but they also ignored the fact that Cheng Qi was a pregnant woman who needed care and attention. The mother-in-law's idea is that Cheng Qi lives in a villa and has good food and drink, so how can her son suffer the loss of his freedom. Besides, my conditions were so difficult back then, and I had to live alone with my children.

The successful father Cheng Dechen and his mother Li Yuzhen have been reconciled for more than a year. They have been living together as a married couple for more than a year and are very happy. No one in the family or relatives or neighbors expected that the feuding couple would get back together again.

During the Spring Festival of the year after my sister got married, Cheng Qi successfully took Cheng Qi back to the Cheng family compound to recognize her relatives. Although he does not need other people's approval for the marriage between the two, he still hopes that Cheng Qi will be recognized by the Cheng family. His little sweet wife is so good, others must also like her. Everyone was surprised by this, except for the growth.

After getting married, no one raised any objection to the marriage. Only the third aunt, Hu Sumei, complained a little and said, "Marriage is a major event in a woman's life. How could we not have a wedding? This would be too unfair to the baby." Cheng Qi He smiled and explained: "Third aunt, it's not his fault, it's my fault. I think the wedding process is the same and boring. Besides, a large family is quite tired after working for several days for the wedding." Grandpa Cheng is still a little kid With a sigh, he said: "Success, your adoption of orphans was a good deed, but now it is not beautiful! It is easy to attract criticism." Unexpectedly, two little girls, Cheng Yanan and Cheng Jiaojiao, were chirping. Come over and speak for them. One said: "Oh, Grandpa, you don't understand. This kind of cultivation system is in fashion now!" The other said: "This is the best. The wealth will not flow to outsiders." The elders I had no choice but to say: "As long as you two live a good life."

Because of the arrival of their young couple, the Spring Festival of the year they started their family was particularly lively. This time the whole family not only had dinner together, but the two old people also arranged to stay with them to eat the dumplings before leaving. After the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders began to distribute red envelopes. Because she was a new daughter-in-law, Cheng Qi also received big red envelopes from the elders. Chenggong also prepared red envelopes for Cheng Qi in advance and asked Cheng Qi to give them to two juniors, Cheng Yanan and Cheng Jiaojiao.

It was late at night and the old man wanted to rest. So Cheng Dehou and Cheng Dexian returned to their house with their son, wife and granddaughter. Chenggong planned to take Cheng Qi away, but Cheng Dechen said to him, "Shenggong, take your wife to your mother's house!" Li Yuzhen was surprised by this. After the villa was built, their father and son Neither of them has been in the house, and she celebrates the New Year alone every year. But this year, her son, daughter-in-law, and her husband, who had been away from home for more than 30 years, came to the new house together. The house suddenly became lively, and she happily made arrangements for them. Everyone found seats, got food, made tea and water, and was busy non-stop. Cheng Dechen patted the seat next to him and said, "Mom, stop being busy. Sit down and talk to your child."

Cheng Dechen took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to Cheng Qi and said, "Daughter-in-law, this is a meeting gift from your mother-in-law and I. There is 50 in it. I know you are not short of money now, but this is Accept this gift from me and your mother-in-law! The password is." Faced with this move, everyone was surprised. June 82, 6 was Cheng Cheng's real birthday, the birthday on his ID card. Unexpectedly, Cheng Dechen, who had been indifferent to success for more than 29 years, actually remembered this day. What Li Yuzhen didn't expect was that her husband, who had disliked her for more than 30 years, would jointly give a gift to his daughter-in-law when he came back today. Chenggong knew that because all kinds of supermarkets had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, his father's old department store had long been out of business. With so much money spent all at once, he was afraid that his father would have very little money left.

Cheng Dechen succeeded in pleasing Cheng Qi by giving him a gift. He rarely said politely, "We are not short of money. You can keep this money for yourself." Unexpectedly, his father glared at him and said, "This money is not for you, it is for my daughter-in-law." Cheng Qi was surprised by the original money. She had no idea and no time to think about anything more. She took it and said without any hesitation, "Thank you, parents." Cheng Dechen smiled happily. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Li Yuzhen cautiously said to Cheng Qi and Cheng Qi: "It's so late and it's not safe to drive. Why don't you stay at home tonight." Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Qi and asked Cheng Qi agreed with a smile.

Li Yuzhen led the two of them to a large room on the second floor. No one lived in the room, but the room was very clean and the bed was covered with a large cloth. Li Yuzhen stepped forward, took off the covering cloth, and said sheepishly: "I'm afraid of getting dusty, so I usually keep it covered." Cheng Qi noticed that the bedding was all new, indicating that she had been preparing for success. I can come back and live someday.

After arranging everything, Li Yuzhen came downstairs. She thought Cheng Dechen had left long ago, but she didn't expect that Cheng Dechen was sitting downstairs silently smoking a cigarette. Since there was no ashtray, he caught the ashes with his hand. Upon seeing this, Li Yuzhen handed him a cup from which she drank water. He was stunned for a moment, then took it and flicked the cigarette ashes in it. They sat in silence for a few minutes, the two of them speechless.

Cheng Dechen stood up and wanted to leave. Li Yuzhen stood up and said, "Dad, it's too late and it's not safe to drive. Why don't you stay here? There are enough rooms here. If you don't want to live here, go to your parents' house. You can Call her and tell her." Cheng Dechen hesitated but agreed, "It's so late, don't disturb the old man, just spend the night here." Li Yuzhen didn't expect that he would really stay, so she hurried away Li Yuzhen went to the next room to make his bed. There was a single bed here, but there was no quilt on it. Li Yuzhen took the quilt out of the cupboard next to the bed and almost fell because she moved too hard. Cheng Dechen helped her with his hand. Bundle. The two of them worked together to spread the quilt on the bed.

After it was done, Li Yuzhen wanted to leave. Cheng Dechen said, "Mom, let's sit down and talk." Li Yuzhen sat down flattered, but did not dare to speak. The two were very affectionate after they got married. Everyone said they were a talented and beautiful couple. Cheng Dechen worked in a department store in the county. Although the transportation was inconvenient, he insisted on going home every day. Because he worked in a store, he had priority in buying many things that were scarce at the time, such as buying some fashionable clothes for his wife. Li Yuzhen had not read books and was influenced by the idea of ​​raising children to protect her in old age. She made a mistake in a single thought. After killing his daughter Yaya. She often has nightmares, and her husband always tries his best to comfort her. More than a year later, she successfully gave birth to her son as she wished. But unexpectedly, my husband gradually stayed at work and stopped coming back. Just the living expenses are sent back every month. Li Yuzhen gradually felt that something was wrong. Because after the child was one month old, her husband never touched her again. She is a traditional woman and is embarrassed to talk to others. Unexpectedly, a few years later, she learned that her husband was living with another woman outside. She was angry and resentful. Out of her determination to drag him to death, her husband proposed a divorce, but she firmly refused. In addition, the parents-in-law are old-school people and do not agree with the son's divorce, so the two have been separated. It wasn't until her son graduated from junior high school that she realized that her husband had known the truth not long after the birth. She always thought that he liked the new and disliked the old, and thought that she was from a rural area and uneducated.

Cheng Dechen clasped his hands together and sighed: "Mother, you were only 20 years old when you married me. You were young and beautiful. I never thought that one day we would reach this point and Yaya would be gone. , seeing you being tortured so much, I secretly vowed to treat you twice as well. When you were born, I was afraid that my mother would not serve you well, so I took your mother to take care of you. Sometimes I regret that I didn’t take your mother here. , I don’t know the truth. Maybe the life of you, me, and Lean will be much easier, and we are still a good family. I was busy going to work that day, but I saw a fresh fish seller on the way, and I bought it Ichigo, I came back and wanted your mother to make fish soup for you. I never wanted to hear your mother scold you for being so cruel that you killed Yaya. I was dumbfounded at the time and didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how I got to the unit. Later I realized that I was still carrying the fish, but it was already dead and smelly. I don’t know how to face you or the child. After living in the unit for two days, I couldn’t help but miss you and the child. But when I went back and saw Shuan Shuan, I thought of Yaya. Newborn children all look similar, especially Yaya and Shuan Shu. The more they look, the more they look alike. The more I look, the more scared I become. Maybe I think about them day by day and think about them at night. Dream on. I had a terrible dream that night when I went back. Yaya said to me, "If you want a son, kill me. Look who I am. I'm back." The tether suddenly became Yaya. , I was frightened and woke up. From then on, I didn’t even dare to look at Shanzhao. I felt that Yaya had come back for revenge, and I was afraid that I wouldn’t survive long. I excused myself as I was busy at work, and became increasingly reluctant to go home. Later, I got together with someone else, and I owe you and my wife this. Shuanzhuan has refused to get married these years. I think this is Yaya's fault, which caused us to have no children even after we gave birth to a son, but now I see Shuanzhuan. After we got married, I secretly felt that Yaya had forgiven us, and the big stone weighing on my heart was finally removed."

Li Yuzhen didn't expect that there was such a layer. She looked at Cheng Dechen. This handsome young man had frost on his temples. She smiled bitterly: "When you knew the truth, if you had told it directly, I might have been relieved at that time. You can give me pleasure whether you are dead or alive. I was born in a big mountain ravine and have never even studied. I never dreamed that I could find a good-looking, educated and working man like you to be my husband and get married. Later, you found out that I was illiterate and you didn't dislike me. I just wanted to live a good life with you and serve you well. When I was pregnant with Yaya, my sister-in-law told me that the newspaper said that the country would only allow one child to be born in the future, so I was special. I was afraid, for fear of giving birth to a girl, but I was afraid of what would happen, and I actually gave birth to a girl. I felt that if I really refused to give birth to a girl in the future, wouldn’t you be dead? I was obsessed with doing something unscrupulous, and my mother saw it, She left in anger. But Yaya was also born after I was pregnant for ten months. I had nightmares every day at that time. Fortunately, you were kind to me at that time, so I could get through it. Within two years, when I gave birth to Tuanzhao, I regretted it even more. If I hadn't been so cruel, I would have both children and a daughter. I would rather be fined! If it doesn't work out and you are fired, wouldn't we have the same life as farmers? It's great for a family of four! Later, the family planning work was the most Yan Shi, many women induced labor in the first trimester, so I comforted myself by saying, you see so many people killing their children, there is nothing you can do about it! A few years ago, I hated you and thought you were Chen Shimei. Later I found out that you were doing it for I don’t hate Yaya so much anymore, I know I’ve been punished. You see my son hates me, you hate me, I’ve been alone in my empty house for so many years, and I know you have a woman outside, so why didn’t you make trouble? It’s because of me I feel that I deserve this. Do you think that if you kill Yaya, you can pretend that nothing is wrong with me? I don’t dare to be nice to Shanshao. I feel it’s unfair to Yaya, and I’m even more afraid that Yaya will come after Shanshao. You said today that Yaya will be given to you. Tuo Meng. I don’t feel the same as you. I think my daughter-in-law is Yaya. If I don’t tie her up, it’s as if I owe her something. A young and a half-year-old drags a child and raises her from childhood to adulthood.”

Cheng Dechen was frightened and said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense during the Chinese New Year." But Li Yuzhen said with relief: "What are you afraid of? It would be great if it was true. I have a place to atone for my sins." Li Yuzhen said to Cheng Dechen seriously , "Cheng Dechen, I have figured it out. It is no longer interesting for me to stay in this house all these years with an empty house and a false name. After the New Year, when the government returns to work, let's go and complete the divorce procedures! She has been with you for so many years, and it is not easy to give birth to children for you. Let me give up this status. Just think of this retribution as a complete one!"

Cheng Dechen patted his thigh with his hand and said, "You are not the only one who has suffered retribution? You see, I have been with them over the years. I have been with them 365 and a half days out of 364 days a year, but I can't be with them on the New Year's Day." They had the reunion dinner, but they were dissatisfied and complained endlessly. I gave them money and companionship, but they still felt that they had no status. I supported two children to go to college and bought them a house, but both children hated me. The year before last year She went to look after the children for her son, and before leaving, she made it clear to me in front of the two children that they would have nothing to do with each other from now on. Neither of the two children said a word for me, as if I owed them for giving birth to them. Look at me I have also received retribution. I abandoned you two, including Yaya, and now, I have been abandoned by three of their mothers. This is really retribution in this world! There are four children in total, and none of them complains. Oh my, I comfort myself, thinking that Yaya has forgiven me because she can’t refute me!”

Li Yuzhen stood up and said: "It has been two years, and you would rather be outside alone than come back. Why bother! There are your parents and your brothers here. If you don't want to see me, I won't live here anymore. Originally, I still plan to stay in this home for the rest of my life, but it doesn’t make sense now. I have been here as an outsider for more than 30 years, and it’s time to return it to you. Cheng Dechen, I have been married to you for more than 35 years. After three good years, I asked my children who grew up to help me calculate the past two days. Three years is more than 1000 days, and 35 years is more than 1 days. I use more than 1 days to reflect on these more than 1000 days. Only then can I survive. Whether it was right or wrong in the past, I have been a widow for 35 years. I owe Yaya my life. I am waiting for her to come to me and ask for my life at any time. Now I am not afraid of anything and I don’t care about anything. Now, I have been able to write my own name in the past two years. I have practiced it countless times according to the ID card, just so that I can write my name openly when I divorce you. I didn’t expect that you would not be in a hurry to leave in the end. You said people make more laughs in their lives. Well, go to bed early and let’s have a family reunion dinner tomorrow morning with dumplings! I’ll be 34 years old tomorrow and I’ve never had a meal with you in our house. Since I beat him After graduating from junior high school, you have never had a meal with me alone. Tomorrow morning I will make dumplings and you can eat them together!" After that, he turned and went back to his room.

Li Yuzhen was a little tired after a hard day's work, and since she had put down her burdens after a deep conversation just now, she quickly fell asleep and slept soundly.

But Cheng Dechen tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When he thought back on his past 30 years, it was like a ridiculous dream. How did it end up like this? When he knew the truth back then, he was devastated and didn't know what to do? In addition to working in the unit, I dare not take any time off. A young man in his 20s suddenly faced a huge change and had no idea what to do. The loving wife who used to be so loving suddenly changed beyond recognition, her thoughts were vicious, and she was really incapable of accepting it. He didn't know what to do even if he thought about it. If this layer of window paper is broken, Li Yuzhen is a murderer. She is still in confinement, and he can't bear to watch her being taken away. Even if she is not an official, if the elders in the family find out, her family will never be able to tolerate her. Cheng Dechen hated himself for being incompetent. He did not dare to go back and face the mother and son. After working in the unit for a long time, he worked overtime every day and was appreciated by his leaders. Later, he became the director of a department store. It was at this time that Zhang Fengqin took advantage of the situation. After long-term observation, she discovered that Cheng Dechen rarely went home and lived in the unit. The relationship between husband and wife was self-evident. Zhang Fengqin has been working with Cheng Dechen for many years, and she didn't dare to have any wild ideas about crossing paths with him, because Cheng Dechen is tall, handsome, and educated. But for several years, Cheng Dechen quietly focused all his energy on work, and Zhang Fengqin felt that her opportunity had come. She rushes to help Cheng Dechen wash clothes every day, and is not discouraged even if she is rejected. She also brought him delicious food from home every day. If Cheng Dechen didn't eat it, she would bring it to him tomorrow. As time went by, Cheng Dechen's attitude towards her softened a little. At a New Year's Day dinner that year, Cheng Dechen, who had just been promoted to deputy manager of the shopping mall, was drunk by everyone taking turns toasting him. Cheng Dechen, who lived in the unit, woke up the next morning and saw Zhang Fengqin sleeping beside him. From then on, the relationship between the two seemed to be natural.

In order to tie him up, Zhang Fengqin gave birth to two children for him without a name or status. In those days, pregnancy before marriage was an unplanned pregnancy and was not allowed. Zhang Fengqin hid in Tibet and gave birth to a son and a daughter. She secretly left them in her hometown for her mother to take care of. She claimed that they were given to relatives because the relatives were sick and could not take care of the children. It was not until the national census that the two children were registered as registered residents, with the surname Zhang Fengqin. Later, the department store suffered serious losses, so Cheng Dechen contracted it. Later, Cheng Dechen used the money earned during the contract period to buy the mall at a low price. Cheng Dechen was moved by the fact that Zhang Fengqin had been following him for many years without any name or status, so he once impulsively said that he would divorce. But when Cheng Dechen returned to get married, not only did Li Yuzhen not agree, but his parents also did not allow it, so the matter was dropped. Cheng Dechen never mentioned the divorce again. He himself didn't know why he didn't insist on divorce. Maybe he subconsciously felt that it would be too difficult for Li Yuzhen to get divorced if she was uneducated. He returned the living expenses on time every month until he discovered that Li Yuzhen was unwilling to treat his son well and stopped paying him in anger. Dacheng Dechen tossed and turned. At that time, it would have been nice to have found success and cared more about him, but he did not have the courage to face his child, which caused the estrangement between father and son today. In the past few years, Zhang Fengqin has been requesting that the department store house be transferred to the names of her two children. Cheng Dechen decisively refused, saying that the two children had received enough. This later caused the three women to hate him and leave him. Cheng Dechen breathed a long sigh of relief and finally went home.

Although Li Yuzhen accepted Cheng Dechen without any grudges, success seemed to have nothing to do with her. But when his father called to give him the old department store and transfer it to his name, Chenggong excitedly refused.

Cheng Dechen burst into tears when the phone was hung up, and Li Yuzhen was also in tears beside her. Weeping eyes met weeping eyes, and the two people had mixed feelings. After a long time, Li Yuzhen wiped away her tears and said, "It's all my fault. Forget it, Shuanzhu is indeed not short of money now, give it to her and the two children! There is nothing wrong with them. Although they are not short of money these years, Life is not difficult, but it is not easy if the name is not justified." Cheng Dechen did not expect that Li Yuzhen would be so reasonable. He choked and said: "She has been grabbing money from herself these years, otherwise the department store would not As for not being able to drive it, I knew it in my heart, but I just didn’t want to say it clearly. This side hated me, and I thought I couldn’t let both sides down. In the end, both sides hated me equally. Later, she left with the child, and I cleared the inventory. It was sold for 50 yuan and used for Zhuan Zhuan's wedding. In the past two years, the building was rented out, and the annual rent was 10,000+. I originally wanted to take half of it, but I didn't expect that they were too greedy and wanted to take the house directly. I thought to myself , it can still be used for development after being tied down, I didn’t expect him..." Cheng Dechen couldn't continue. Li Yuzhen is no longer interested in money. Success every year will give her enough money. Now that Cheng Dechen is back, she feels that she has reached perfection and no longer needs to hold on to money. Unexpectedly, Cheng Dechen slapped his thigh and said, "I can just transfer the shopping mall to you. From now on, when we are no longer together, it is logical that we will be tied together. Just do it." Walk!"

Now the old couple is glad that it was successful and they can now sell it to meet their urgent needs. Chengcai told them that the reason why Lin Zhiyuan refused to spend money to rescue the emergency was because he was too ambitious and hoped for success so that he could swallow up the successful company. When the old couple heard this, they became even more panicked and worked harder to raise money. I think back then Cheng Dechen was also a well-known figure in Beicheng. In recent years, he felt like a hero in his twilight years, so he didn't dare to fall out with Lin Zhiyuan, so he had to run around by himself, hoping that his son would come out soon.
