Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 326 Jiang Anhua teaches Jiang Shaojie a lesson
Seeing that Jiang Shaojie was also dissatisfied with his current life, Jiang Anhua felt that he should take this opportunity to have a good talk with him. As a father, he also had some responsibility for the child's condition.
If we spend more time and effort on our children from an early age, they won't all have problems.
The eldest and second oldest of the seven children were okay, and considered steady and stable, but they wanted to shoulder the burden of the family;
The third child is self-deprecating and lacks self-confidence, while the fourth child is selfish, irresponsible, and conceited;
The fifth child is sensitive and suspicious, the sixth child is not only selfish but also unscrupulous in achieving his goals, and the seventh child is about to become a troublemaker.
After all, it was all because he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father and left the child to the care of Lu Yunxia, who had mental problems.
So, while Wang Weiwei was not at home, he called Jiang Shaojie home and said, "Old Four, I know you blame us in your heart, but we are also doing this for your own good. We don't object to you and Wang Weiwei being together. But we object to the Wang family treating you badly.
Look at any other wedding like theirs, where they start with a high bride price and a job offer. We gave everything we could, even giving up your eldest sister-in-law's job. It was a three-turn, one-ring affair, where they chose not to take the job, and then later offered to borrow your eldest brother's to keep things simple.
We gave them face, but they treated us like fools. We agreed to lend them money, but they simply refused to return it. We might feel better if they embezzled it and gave it to you, but they kept it for themselves. Is that what we care about? Even if you asked your eldest brother to give it to you, he wouldn't refuse. What we care about is that they don't treat you as human beings!
Jiang Shaojie actually regretted it a long time ago. He married Wang Weiwei because they drank too much and then did that. Later, Wang Weiwei became pregnant, so they had no choice but to get married.
In addition, Wang Weiwei was beautiful, generous, and popular, so he accepted it.
When they got married, Wang Weiwei always compared him and his elder brother, and said that fighting for those things was for the good of their small family. He could only let Wang Weiwei do as she pleased.
Who knew that after getting married, Wang Weiwei's true nature was completely exposed, and the previously generous person became sarcastic and petty.
They could actually save some of their monthly living expenses of 27.5 yuan to support his mother's family. He couldn't even say anything because if he did, they would quarrel.
Now Jiang Anhua was educating him, but he didn't say a word and just listened silently.
Jiang Anhua didn't care whether he listened or not, and continued: "Your salary of 27.5 yuan is not low, and it's enough for the two of you to live on. Your sister-in-law earns 23 yuan a month, and most of it is eaten in the cafeteria. Go ask her how much money she has left in a month.
Your father-in-law's monthly salary is at least thirty-six, and your brother-in-law's should be twenty-three, which adds up to fifty-nine. There are only four people in their family.
Your family has to support three people with 27 yuan and still have to subsidize them. Is this the life you want? You have never suffered hardship since you were a child. As your parents, we can't bear to see you suffer like this.
Look at their family again. As soon as their child was born, they wanted the whole family to move in. They live so far away and yet they often come to take advantage. If they lived closer, it would be terrible.
And now that you're taking them in, if her sister-in-law follows their example and asks her husband's family to help her parents, will the Wang family be able to help? Then all the pressure will fall on you.
Who are we all doing this for? It's you. If it weren't for you, I would be the bad guy and go directly to the police station to report the case. What can you and them do to me? "
Jiang Shaojie still didn't say anything, but his eyes dimmed a lot.
Jiang Anhua took all of this seriously, and Jiang Shaojie didn't say anything for a long time.
Then he continued, "As for the four rooms on the back, I said they were for your Aunt Ma and her family. I won't give them to any of you. In my heart, your Uncle Ma is my second parent, and your Aunt Ma and her family are also my relatives. As long as I am still here, I will never allow you to be disrespectful to them.
Do you know why not? When I was fourteen, your grandmother nearly starved to death. It was your Uncle Ma who saved me and bought me from my grandmother for ten dollars. That’s how I got the chance to join the army and live the good life I have today. Otherwise, I would have ended up like your uncle.
I haven't mentioned anything about my family to you. I don't want to talk about unpleasant things in the past. You also have an uncle who is three years older than me. We have depended on each other since we were young. When we fought back to the capital, I gave him some rights, so I let him work in the transport team.
But now, your uncle forced your aunt to commit suicide for your grandmother and her family, and your cousins would rather go to the countryside than recognize him. Your uncle lost his good job and can only work as a dung collector to make a living. I will give you their address later, you can go and find out.
You may feel that your life is hard now, but you don't know what life was like for us in the past. We were pulling rickshaws to support our families when we were only in our teens. You, on the other hand, are already 21 years old, and you still don't know the hardships of life, yet you feel that your parents owe you something."
Jiang Shaojie had never heard Jiang Anhua talk about his grandparents. When he heard that Jiang Anhua had been pulling a rickshaw since he was in his teens, he was a little surprised, but he didn't believe it.
Jiang Anhua ignored him and continued, "I used to think about sending you to the countryside to exercise and experience the hardships of life. Later, your mother asked Lao Wu to give you the job. I didn't say anything for your mother's sake. I was thinking about arranging for you to go to college after you made some achievements.
But you have no gratitude at all. It's fine if you're not grateful to us, but you even gave away the winter supplies I gave to Lao Wu. Do you know how many people freeze to death in Northeast China every year? Do you know how many educated youth die of starvation and freezing?
Your mother and I do not like the fifth child, but she is our biological daughter after all. We would feel bad if she was not doing well.
Your mother was deeply distressed when she saw the photo of her emaciated body. She cried all day long, couldn't eat or sleep well, and kept talking about transferring Lao Wu back to the city. If anything happened to Lao Wu, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.
And no matter how much we hate her, it's not your turn to bully her.
I won’t say much else. If you still recognize me as your father, then be a responsible man, support your family, focus on your work, and achieve some results.
In the years before I retire, I can find an excuse to promote you if I have the chance. Otherwise, I can't manage you. We are not in the same system, and I can't help you if you don't have performance."
Jiang Anhua didn't know whether Jiang Shaojie had listened to him or not, but he had already made the promise. If he continued to be stubborn, he would really not care about anything.
Finally, he gave Jiang Shaojie the address of the Jin family and said, "This is your grandmother's address. Go check it out when you have time, but be careful not to get entangled! Don't tell your wife what I told you, I'm afraid she'll get ahead of you again."
