A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

Lin Xiaomeng happily planned the future of her family.

She knew in her heart that in a few years, the iron rice bowl would be worthless, so she didn't take Xu Huaizhi and her current iron rice bowl seriously at all, thinking that if it was gone, it was gone.

Two years later, when the country opened up to self-employed individuals, she took out her savings and let Xu Huaizhi become a self-employed individual. Making money is the key.

By then they will be able to settle down in Beijing, and everything will slowly get better.

Some things are not easy to tell Xu Huaizhi now, and she also thought that he would compromise for her and understand her decision.

But obviously, Xu Huaizhi couldn't understand her arrangement at all.

The couple had an unprecedented quarrel.

"You are old and your child is already seven or eight years old. Why do you want to imitate others?

Aren't we having a hard time now? I give you all my monthly salary. You don't have to do farm work. You can be a teacher in the commune and teach children. It's also very easy.

We still save a lot of money every month.

Isn't it good like this? Why do you have to go to university? "Xu Huaizhi finally spoke out his true feelings.

Lin Xiaomeng finally saw the selfish and dark side of this man, and she couldn't help but sneer.

"Too much trouble? Now you think I was tossing and turning. Why didn't you say anything when I was reading day and night?

It turns out that your previous support for me to take the college entrance examination was all fake. You thought I couldn’t pass, right?

Xu Huaizhi, your so-called good life comes at the expense of me, why don’t you say it?

You just need to earn money every month and bring it back, but what about me?

I have to work, take care of my children, tutor them, worry about the interpersonal relationships at home, do housework, and worry about my family's eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, food, clothing, housing and transportation throughout the year.

You come back for one or two days every week, eat and drink your fill, then run away, leaving a mess for me.

There are some harsh things I don't want to say. After all, as a family, we can't be too concerned about who pays how much.

But you know how much time and effort I put into getting into college, and now that I've finally gotten in, you come and tear me down, that's pointless."

It's not that she's not disappointed. She thought this man really supported her changing her life, but she didn't expect that he was selfish and dark inside. Once things got out of his control, he became like this.

She couldn't help but start to think, is her choice in this life really the right one? Is Xu Huaizhi really her lifelong destination?

This man has no ambition and is selfish. I really don't know how he succeeded in his previous life.

Could it be that my decision to stay and face it together with him has affected his life?

After listening to his wife's words, Xu Huaizhi thought about it and felt that he had gone a little too far.

Lin Xiao's dream of making a name for himself has never changed, and he understands it, but doing and saying are two different things.

"That's not what I meant. I know you've contributed a lot to our family, but if you go to Beijing to study, it's not a good idea for our family to be separated for a long time.

And what about Dacheng? You can't take care of him because you're in school, and I, a grown man, can't take care of him well." Xu Huaizhi's attitude softened a little.

"Who knows how to take care of a child right after he's born? Dacheng is so old now, he doesn't need you to hold him in your arms or on your back. He just needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Is there anything you can't take care of?

I will only study for a few years, not a lifetime. When I graduate, the government will assign me a job. Then our family will be together again. Maybe I can even bring you all to Beijing.

Maybe in just a few years, maybe just a year or two, our family will be reunited.

Don't make these excuses. I don't care. Anyway, I must go to this school. You can't stop me, and neither can my son.

I am myself first, and then Gu Dacheng's mother. If I can't even handle myself well, how can I educate my son?"

After living a new life, Lin Xiaomeng has gradually understood a cruel truth: in this life, only if you love yourself will others take you seriously.

If you don't take yourself seriously, others will not care about your life or death.

Whether it’s a couple or children, to put it bluntly, if you are not strong enough, men will step on you.

If you only think about your children and lose yourself, your children will one day dislike you and not take you seriously.

That's how it is, very realistic and cruel.

How a man and a child treat you does not depend on how good you are to him. What is more important is the strength of your own intrinsic value.

It is human nature to tolerate the strong and bully the weak.

In the past, in the old Gu family, she obviously did the most work, serving the old and the young with great care, and was very considerate, but did anyone see her good side?

In this life, she must rely on herself and become a strong person who cannot be bullied at will, and no one can try to pull her down.

Seeing her tough attitude, Xu Huaizhi's face fell, but in the end he did not say anything to stop her from going.

"I know it's not easy for you to get into this university, but have you ever thought about it? We are so far apart, and you have seen a bigger world. What if...

You changed your mind, fell in love with someone else, didn't want to go back to Xujiatun, and didn't want to take us over.

What are you going to do with me and my children? What are you going to do with my parents?

I am a man, I can't live by you all my life, right? That's too cowardly." Xu Huaizhi finally said what was in his heart.

Lin Xiaomeng was silent for a while after hearing this, and her heart gradually calmed down.

In fact, she was able to make the choice boldly because she knew what would happen in the future.

From Xu Huaizhi's perspective, he doesn't know what will happen in the future, so it's normal for him to be unwilling to give up the current stable income.

She was so excited that she broke down when she heard that the other party was going to tie her hands and feet.

"Xu Huaizhi, let's talk calmly. I'll give you two choices.

First, you give up your current job, and our family will move to Beijing. The responsibility of taking care of your parents in their old age will be left to the third child, and we will give them money every year.

We now have more than one thousand yuan in savings, which is enough for us to settle down in Beijing temporarily and live a worry-free life.

I'll find a chance to arrange a job for you when the time comes. I don't believe that such a big city like Beijing cannot accommodate us.

Second, you and Dacheng stay here for the time being. I will pick you up when I have settled down there and the time is right.

It’s your choice! "

In fact, Lin Xiaomeng had more than that money. She had made a lot of money from private reselling, but she couldn't find a reason to tell Xu Huaizhi about it now.

She had already planned their future in her mind.

Regardless of whether Xu Huaizhi wants to go to Beijing with her now, she will find a way to bring them over when the environment improves next year.

By then, she would study while working as a self-employed person with Xu Huaizhi, go into business, be the first to try something new, make a lot of money, and live a really good life.

But the time is not right now, and many things cannot be said.

Come to think of it, it's terrible for a couple to end up like this.

Xu Huaizhi was unable to make a decision for a moment. He held his head in pain and depression without saying a word.

Lin Xiaomeng didn't force him to answer immediately, since there was still time.

And the other side.

Xu Meiling, who had just received her results, was also dumbfounded.

Chen Jianghe scored 372 points, which meant there was no problem for him to go back to his hometown, Liaocheng. He was overjoyed.

However, Xu Meiling only had over 200 points. If she had chosen a technical secondary school locally at that time, she might have had a chance to be admitted. But she was so stupid as to apply for the technical secondary school in Liaocheng. Since they were in different provinces, the admission scores were different. With her score, she was destined to not be able to get in.

It's a complete failure.

Seeing the man's happy expression, she wanted to tear his smiling face apart, and her eyes seemed to be filled with poison.

"Brother Jianghe, what should I do if I didn't pass the exam?" She tested Chen Jianghe's attitude with her last hope.

Chen Jianghe was of course overjoyed because he passed the exam but she didn't, which meant she couldn't go to Liaocheng to study.

It's great that he can keep his innocence and won't be laughed at by his aunts and uncles back home, and his parents won't be brought to shame because of this.

These days he was worried that if Xu Meiling passed the exam by chance, how would he deal with it? Should he really take her back to his home in Liaocheng? No, no, no, that would be too scary.

He also overestimated Xu Meiling's ability. The little knowledge she had was not enough.

His mind was in a state of confusion, but his face remained calm.

"Then I have to go back to Liaocheng to study first. You can continue to prepare for the exam with the child in Xujiatun. Maybe he will be able to pass it next year."

Although he was a little reluctant to give up his daughter, for the sake of his own face and reputation, he could only give up her temporarily and take things one step at a time!

Xu Meiling's voice was obviously louder: "Aren't you going to take me and the child back to Liaocheng?"

"I am going there to study, not to enjoy life. We all have rural household registration and no commercial grain. What will we eat and drink when we return to Liaocheng?

Although university is free, the subsidies are limited, and you can’t rely on the school for everything.

You can't just leave me with your child and starve to death, right?" Chen Jianghe said righteously.

"What about your parents? Don't they want this granddaughter either? They favor boys over girls and despise Miaomiao for not being a boy?

Or did you never tell them about our existence?" Xu Meiling's voice was hoarse, and she was on the verge of collapse.

Chen Jianghe's mind was working rapidly.

"No, what are you talking about?"

Xu Meiling finally exploded.

"No, no, Chen Jianghe, you always give me the cold shoulder. Don't you think I don't know? I want to go. I'm going. No one can stop me!"

She pushed everything on the kang to the ground like crazy, making a ping-pong sound.

Chen Jianghe was about to start scolding when Miaomiao, who was playing on the kang, suddenly started crying. A long cut suddenly appeared on her forehead and blood gushed out instantly.

Something must have been thrown off the kang and cut her forehead.

Chen Jianghe still felt sorry for his fat daughter. He glared at Xu Meiling fiercely and quickly took the child to the commune to see her.

The doctor from the commune bandaged Miaomiao. The child was very well behaved throughout the whole process. She didn't cry or make a fuss and just looked straight ahead. After the doctor finished bandaging her, he tried to play with her, but Miaomiao kept tilting her head back and didn't look at the doctor. He didn't respond to any words he spoke to her.

Chen Jianghe said awkwardly: "This child seems to be a little shy. Apart from our family members, she usually doesn't pay much attention to outsiders."

The doctor suddenly shook his head seriously: "No, I just teased her and she didn't react at all. Normal children are shy and will usually hide behind adults or cry.

She didn't reject my physical contact, but she didn't make any eye contact with me and kept leaning back, which was obviously abnormal.

How does she usually behave at home? Is she different from other children?

The doctor's words gave Chen Jianghe a chill.

In the past few months, he either worked or reviewed every day. His care for Miaomiao was limited to making sure she was well fed and warmed, and leaving her alone to play, without making any special effort to observe her.

Now thinking about it, there were indeed many things wrong. A one-year-old child should not be so quiet and easy to take care of. He always thought that Miaomiao was too fat, so she didn't like sports, and it would be fine when she grew up. He never thought that there was something wrong with the child himself.

He quickly told the doctor about some of the child's special behaviors.

“Excuse me, but your child is obviously abnormal. He can’t crawl at this age and is obviously behind his peers in sports.

Moreover, the child has almost no response to adults talking to him, which is also abnormal. You should take the child to a large hospital as soon as possible."

Chen Jianghe suddenly remembered that when Xu Meiling gave birth, the baby was trapped inside for a long time, and its face was covered with blue and purple when it was born.

"Doctor, will difficult labor have any impact on the baby?" His voice trembled as he spoke.

"Of course there are! These days, nine out of ten difficult births are caused by problems."

The doctor's words made Chen Jianghe's head buzz.

Looking at the child in his arms with no anxious look in his eyes, he felt like the sky was falling. How could this happen?

He took his child directly to the county, and the county doctor told him to go to the hospital in the provincial capital for a check-up.

After being transferred to the provincial hospital, the doctor learned about the situation and gave the child a simple examination, which confirmed that the child did have intellectual problems, which might be due to neurodevelopmental abnormalities or traumatic diseases caused by hypoxia due to difficult labor.

This disease is not like an external injury, it can be seen and felt and can be treated symptomatically.

The doctor has basically given this child a "death sentence". There's no way he can be saved. We can only take good care of him, one day at a time.

If you are lucky, the situation will gradually improve as you grow up, and you may be able to take care of yourself.

If you are unlucky, you may need adults to do even small things like eating for you and serve you for the rest of your life.

These days, there is absolutely no cure for this disease.

Chen Jianghe didn't know how he walked out of the hospital and returned to Xujiatun.

His world is falling.

All along, the bond that supported him to maintain this marriage was this daughter.

But now, this girl turned out to be a fool and a idiot, and she will never get better.

If he had not taken care of and raised her, perhaps he would not be so sad.

It was because he had been taking care of his daughter basically for the past year, and had given a lot of hard work and fatherly love, that he felt so sad.

If he just leaves, what kind of situation will Miaomiao face in the future?

Chen Jianghe could already imagine what a silly girl would face in the countryside.

Sarcasm, ridicule, abuse, and disgust.

There may also be threats from old bachelors in the countryside. She cannot even protect herself from harm or express her feelings and situation.

Thinking of this, his heart felt like it was being roasted on fire. At this moment, he hated Xu Meiling so much.

Why did you let all this happen, why did you force marriage, why did you eat so much that you became as fat as a ball, why did you have a difficult delivery and harm the child like this!
