Landlady who likes to hoard land

There were too many children in the family, and they were all at that age where they were playing and didn't know any better, so the house was always filled with crying and screaming.

She would send one of the children to her mother to help take care of.

Her son was too naughty, and she was afraid that his mother wouldn't be able to control him. Since Wang's mother's house was next to a river, she was worried that her son would have an accident while playing in the river.

The second and youngest daughters are too young, so after thinking it over, the eldest daughter is the most suitable.

So during several winter and summer vacations, I would send my eldest daughter to her parents' home.

Chengyu has extremely sensitive skin, and every summer when she returns from her parents' home, she is covered in bites from mosquitoes and fleas.

I can't quite remember which year's winter break it was.

She then sent her eldest daughter back to her parents' home.

One day, as she was watching her youngest daughter work at home, a man from the village who frequently went to the market came to their house.

"Sister-in-law, your mother asked me to pass on a message to you. Your eldest daughter has burned her arm, and she wants you to go and see her when you have time."

"Fifth sister, is the burn serious? My mother didn't say how you got burned?"

Mrs. Wang quickly put down her work and asked anxiously.

Back then, we didn't have telephones at home; if anything happened, people in the village would pass on a message.

"It doesn't seem too serious, just a few blisters."

The messenger never saw Wang Chengyu, and she couldn't explain why. She left after giving her instructions.

Wang's mother was extremely anxious. If it were just a few blisters, it wouldn't be worth her family going out of their way to tell her.

She thought it probably wasn't too serious; if it were, she should go to the hospital.

She felt slightly relieved that she had asked someone to tell her, as it might just be to let her know about the matter.

She wanted to check on Chengyu's injuries, but there was no one to look after the children at home, and besides, the children were already injured, so her going there wouldn't change anything.

After anxiously waiting for several days, she finally allowed her father to ride his bicycle to visit his eldest daughter when he returned home.

Not long after Mr. Wang left, he brought his eldest daughter back.

She remembered that Chengyu was wearing Wang's father's coat at the time, with a dirty black cotton-padded jacket underneath.

When she caught sight of her eldest daughter's timid gaze from outside, she had a bad feeling.

"Chengyu, is your burn healed? Let me see!"

"What's so good about it? You don't know I went to her maternal grandmother's house."

As soon as I entered, I saw that Chengyu was only wearing a tattered black jacket underneath, which was half hanging on her body, with half of her shoulder and arm exposed.

He was squatting in the yard playing all by himself on such a cold day. Look, it's all festering.

Mr. Wang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He grabbed his daughter's arm and showed it to Mrs. Wang.

God knows how furious he was when he saw his eldest daughter squatting alone in the yard, half-naked.

Even if the child can't wear clothes because of an injured arm, you can't let her play in the yard! It's so cold, she's going to freeze to death!

He immediately brought the child back.

Only then did Wang's mother realize that Wang Chengyu had burns all over his body, from the back of his neck to his entire arm.

It was covered in some kind of black substance, mixed with pus, and looked absolutely terrifying.

"How did it get so badly burned, Chengyu? Tell Mom, how did it happen? What's on this?"

Tears welled up in Wang's mother's eyes instantly. She asked him questions with a mixture of heartache and anger.

"When I get up in the morning, Grandma makes eggs for Grandpa to drink."

I squatted facing outwards at the kitchen doorway. My grandmother came out of the kitchen with a bowl of beaten egg drop soup and asked me to move aside.

I didn't expect my grandma to be standing right behind me. I stood up and knocked over the soup bowl in her hand.

The soup spilled all over me. It wasn't Grandma's fault; it was my fault for being careless.

Wang Chengyu cautiously glanced at his parents' expressions and continued...

"This black stuff is peach wood ash. My grandma heard from others that it was very effective in treating burns, and she searched for several places before she found it."

"Mom, I'm not cold. The peach wood ash coating is so thick, it's like I'm wearing clothes."

Wang Chengyu gave a concise and efficient account of how he was burned.

After hearing Wang Chengyu's description, Wang's mother choked up and could not speak, while Wang's father also looked remorseful and guilty.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's almost healed!"

When little Wang Chengyu saw that his parents were sad, he quickly comforted them.

When she was first burned, she missed her parents terribly. She always thought that her parents didn't like her, which was why they always sent her to her maternal grandmother's house.

After waiting for several days without seeing her parents, the little girl couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She knew that her grandmother had asked someone to send a message to her mother.

Why didn't they come to see her even after they found out? They don't like her, and she's decided she won't like them either.

It wasn't until her father came to pick her up and saw that she had been arguing with her grandmother after being injured, and that her mother was also crying, that she realized that perhaps her parents cared about her too.

She thought it was because there were too many children in the family and her parents couldn't take care of them all.

Her grandmother treated her very well, but she still wanted to stay at her own home.

She always felt uncomfortable at her maternal grandparents' house. She had to watch her maternal grandfather's expression to do anything. Although her maternal grandfather never scolded her, he usually didn't like to smile and his stern face was already quite frightening.

What Wang Chengyu didn't know was that the next day, her mother rode her bicycle to find her maternal grandmother and they had another big argument, which made her feel sad and guilty for a long time.

From then on, during winter and summer vacations, Wang's mother never allowed Wang Chengyu to visit her parents' home again.

Afterwards, she would feel sad for a long time whenever she thought about it.

Fortunately, Chengyu was still young at the time, and after treatment at the hospital, it healed quickly. As she grew older, it became less noticeable unless you looked closely.

Later, when Wang Chengyu grew up, she went on a blind date with Xu Jianren. At first, she objected, thinking that Xu Jianren had the potential to be a mama's boy.

But Xu Chenxing's words sounded too good to be true back then; the promises he made were incredibly grand and appealing.

He said he would treat her daughter like his own daughter, that he would buy her a car and a house as soon as they got married, and that he would buy her insurance and shops. He also said that he would cover all household expenses and take care of the children after they were born, etc.

She had had enough of a hard life herself and didn't want her daughter to go through the same miserable existence.

Moreover, Xu Chenxing's family is indeed well-off.

She eventually gave in.

Looking back now, I really regret it!

How could she believe what others said so easily?

A while ago, Wang Chengyu called her in tears. She said that it was only when her sister-in-law called her a poor person that she suddenly realized what had happened.

Families with unequal economic status and other aspects are unlikely to be happy. Marrying someone of equal social standing is truly important.

Parents are not all the same; not all parents love their sons and daughters-in-law as much as they do.

Not everyone is trustworthy and keeps their word.

No matter how much money parents have, it's theirs. Girls should look at a boy's character and earning ability when choosing a partner. If parents earn a lot of money but don't let them use it, there's nothing they can do.

She considered having her eldest daughter divorce; she was still so young and shouldn't continue to suffer like this. But then she thought about her two grandchildren and didn't know what to do.

Just then, she was diagnosed with cancer. Her world collapsed. The panic in her heart, coupled with the pain of chemotherapy, made her unable to care about anyone else.

What if she really doesn't make it and passes away, and Chengyu gets divorced? Wouldn't she be even more pitiful all alone? Who could be her support?

Now that her surgery is over, she feels healthier and healthier, and is full of hope for the future. She feels she can live another five or six years without any problem.

She didn't want her daughter to waste the rest of her life in such a repressive family. What if her daughter developed a chronic illness and then got the same disease as her when she got old?

Director Zhu said that her illness was caused by emotional issues, resulting from long-term suppression and repression.

Wang's mother did not want her daughter to follow in her footsteps.
