Chapter 250 Gossip
On the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, Darong couldn't help herself and went back to her parents' home early in the morning.
Because Xiaoping had called in advance and said that she would not be visiting Mother Zhong today, Zhong Yunxing had no choice but to stay and take care of Mother Zhong by himself and did not go back to her parents' home with Darong.
Not long after Darong arrived home, Xiaoying and her husband also followed her back to Darong's mother's house.
Darong's father and mother, who originally thought it would be a lonely New Year's celebration, suddenly became very happy after seeing their two daughters coming over.
"There are still not many people walking around outside. People are still unsure after the lockdown was lifted."
As soon as Xiaoying entered the door, she started talking to Darong's mother about the few pedestrians on the street, and also told the old couple not to go out.
"We won't go out. Your brother and his friends bought a lot of things these past two days and put them at the door. They don't let us go out to buy groceries. There is plenty of food at home, so we don't need to go out." Darong's mother sat on the sofa and looked at her two daughters with a smile.
After the lockdown was lifted on the 30th, the third and fourth generations each sent a lot of daily necessities, and the old couple's usual medicines were also replenished. Although they didn't get together for the New Year, they were not short of things just like Mother Zhong's family.
"That's fine. Let's be more cautious. You and my dad are old and have weak immunity." Darong washed some fruits, put them on the coffee table, and sat down next to Darong's mother.
"People are celebrating the New Year after the lockdown. My second aunt and her whole family are in the hospital. Her daughter-in-law's abortion could not be delayed, so she went for surgery on the first day of the New Year."
Darong and her mother started chatting about Wu Meifeng's family affairs.
"Alas, children nowadays have to go to the hospital and spend money to treat their children. In our time, every family had four or five children. After much consideration, I finally gave birth to four of you." Darong's mother still looked like she couldn't bear to hear the sufferings of the world. She sighed and said softly.
"That's right. People say that the things people eat nowadays are not good. It's all caused by humans." Xiaoying, who was sitting nearby, also added a sentence.
Darong had experienced the same suffering as Ruyi, and she felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.
"Did Linlin call you?" Xiaoying suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes, she called me yesterday to wish me a happy new year, but she didn't say much. The child is not happy, so what else can she say?" Darong's mother felt distressed when she thought of Linlin's low tone when she spoke.
"How can she be happy? She can't be happy with that mother around. Why did Linlin get divorced? How can she possibly go back to that family? And they're forcing her to remarry. What's the point of remarrying when there's nothing in that family?"
Xiaoying became extremely excited when she mentioned Xiaoling. She really couldn't understand how Xiaoling was able to be a good mother.
"Let's not talk about remarriage first. Linlin has reached the point of divorce, and it has nothing to do with her. How can a daughter-in-law who just got married fight for power and profit? Linlin is not the kind of smart kid. Even if she is, you have to at least gain a solid foundation first."
Darong also angrily accused Xiao Ling of instigating Linlin. She and Xiaoying had the same opinion and both believed that Xiao Ling was the culprit who led Linlin to this point.
"Who said it wasn't? She has been oppressed by four generations for so many years, and I won't let her off. Otherwise, do you think she doesn't want to be the king of our family?" Darong's mother couldn't help but snorted coldly when she thought of what Xiao Ling had done since she married into this family.
"I usually don't like to call my sister-in-law. But that day I was browsing Doudou and saw Linlin's live broadcast. Do you think a woman who is lying down and doing a live broadcast, with only her face in the picture, will look good?" Xiaoying frowned with disgust.
"Why is she doing a live broadcast again?" After hearing Xiaoying's description, Darong imagined what kind of live broadcast it was.
"Who would have thought that the environment was so shabby, not even as good as the dormitory we had in the south building. I would have thought they were selling cotton and went north."
Xiaoying sighed and continued.
"As soon as I saw it, I called my sister-in-law to ask. Guess what she said, 'I don't want her to come back. Her return would disrupt my life. She's pretty, and people watch her live broadcast.' Listen to what a mother said."
"If she continues like this, Linlin will go astray." Darong stared at Xiaoying in disbelief.
"Humph, the child is divorced and has nowhere to go. You, as a mother, dislike the child coming back to disrupt your life. Do you think this is something a normal person would say? You force Linlin to go back and remarry, because she thinks that's her happy home."
"Rong, let's have dumplings for lunch. Dad will stew two pork elbows for you this afternoon. You can bring one for Ruyi."
Da Rong's father, who had been sitting nearby watching TV, suddenly interrupted the conversation between the mother and her two daughters.
Darong's mother glanced at Darong's father and winked at her two daughters, indicating that they should stop talking about Linlin.
"I'm afraid Ruyi won't come here in the next few days. I don't want her to take the child out. An'an is still young, and he always has trouble wearing a mask. When he goes out, his hands like to touch things. I feel more at ease if he stays at home."
Darong took over what her father said and started talking about An An from Ruyi's family.
"Xiao Du comes over all the time, and he loves pork elbows the most. Put them in the refrigerator and let him take them whenever he wants. The pork elbows sold outside are not as delicious as the ones stewed by Dad."
"Okay, Xiao Du is a wolf and he loves to eat meat." Darong joked about her son-in-law cheerfully.
"By the way, sister, did your relative get into trouble because of the video incident last time? That incident caused quite a stir. They said Yutian News even apologized in a serious manner. Is that true? I didn't see it."
Xiaoying suddenly remembered what happened to Zhong Yunjiu and his wife a few days ago, and asked in a mysterious voice.
"Who dares to make things difficult for them at this critical moment? Both of them are disabled, and there is nothing in their home except four walls. How can you make things difficult for them? If you don't make things difficult for them, it will get over it faster."
After listening to Darong, Xiaoying snorted coldly and nodded in agreement.
Darong's father got up and went to the kitchen to clean the pork elbows. Darong came up to Darong's mother and whispered, "What happened to my father?"
"Your father is ashamed. Linlin's divorce was not glorious to begin with. He doesn't like what you just said. Before, when he heard that Linlin got divorced because she had someone else, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said several times that it was a disgrace to the family. I was afraid that he would be mad at him."
Da Rong's father is one of the elderly people who were born before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They are the children who truly grew up under the red flag. Loyalty, responsibility and commitment are the beliefs of their generation throughout their lives.
He could not accept the values of today's children, but he was already powerless to change them.
