Chapter 342 Hateful people must suffer miserably
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Wang Eryan came over from home with her young son and carrying things.
Zhang An’s car is relatively large, and the back seat is relatively empty. Four people can fit in it even if they squeeze in.
"When I went back last time, I found that the old grandpa in your house had changed his temper. He even knew how to help your old grandma with some livelihood."
On the way, Wang Eryan and Wang Fang chatted about home affairs.
Old man Wang Shiyan is famously lazy in the village of Longtoushan.
I have never been out in the fields for decades. I only know how to drink. If there is any delicious food at home, I have to follow him first.
Grandma Zhang An did all the farm work at home.
But a few years ago, Wang Eryan went back to her parents' home and saw that Zhang An's grandfather, who never worked, actually helped the old lady with some work.
At that time, she saw it and thought she had recognized the wrong person.
After getting closer, I realized that he was not mistaken. He was Zhang An's grandfather.
Suddenly Wang Eryan felt a little unbelievable. In fact, she was not the only one. Everyone else in the village felt the same way.
"It's impossible. People who are dozens of years old can just change it if they can."
After hearing this, Zhang An's family just smiled.
The whole family is well aware of Wang Shiyan's changes.
As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change, but that kind of virtue cannot be changed.
His changes are not based on what Zhang An said when he sent the old lady back last time.
If it weren’t for the two bottles of wine in the truck bed, you’d think he would have changed.
More than an hour later, the group arrived at Longtoushan Village.
Wang Eryan’s natal family is located at the entrance of the village. Zhang An put the mother and son down when they arrived at the entrance of the village.
Wang Fang also made an agreement with Wang Eryan to call them here when he goes back later.
In the past two years, there have been some changes in Longtoushan Village. The roads in the village have been repaired. Zhang An drove the car all the way to the yard.
Longtoushan is located on a large mountain. The altitude is much higher than Changqing.
So the temperature here is cooler than that in Changqing.
The old man was sitting in the house warming himself by the fire. When he heard the sound of the car, he immediately ran out of the house to take a look.
When he came out, he saw Zhang An's family coming, with a surprised smile on his face.
But he just smiled for a moment, and then pretended to be indifferent, for fear of being seen by others.
As everyone knows, when he just started laughing, Zhang An could see clearly.
The old lady in the house heard the noise and came out.
When I saw my daughter and her family coming, her wrinkled face was squeezed into a ball with a kind smile, I was as happy as I could be.
"I thought you guys were busy with other things these days and wouldn't come over."
Although the old lady also brought her daughter and her family over this year, she didn't think as much as last year.
Because when Zhang An got married last year, the family took the old lady over and lived there for a long time.
"You must come. Yingying's parents and eldest sister's family are here these two days, so we will come two days later."
Speaking of Su Ying, the old lady was even more She was so happy that she held her daughter with one hand and her grandson-in-law with the other.
"Mom, let's take the things in the car home and talk about it."
There are several families living in this compound, and Wang Fang is not worried about leaving things in the car.
She is really worried about certain people. God knows what things will be missing from the car after entering the house for a while.
"Why are you buying more clothes? I have no more clothes to wear now."
Seeing the new clothes in the bag, the old lady complained that her daughter and her family were spending money indiscriminately.
She has been used to being thrifty all her life, and she has been reluctant to buy a whole set of clothes for several years.
The clothes I wear every day are covered with patches one after another.
Especially the crutches of the elbows and the knees on the pants, the patches are layered one on top of the other.
The saying "three years of new life and three years of old life, three years of mending and mending" is vividly reflected in their generation.
But even if there are patches on the clothes, they are usually washed clean.
So as time goes by, the color of the fabrics on the clothes has also been washed white.
Only when the clothes finally became too rotten to be mended anymore, the old lady would buy some fabric and make a dress herself.
Because the ready-made clothes made by others are very expensive, she is reluctant to spend the money.
It is much more cost-effective to make the cloth yourself than to buy clothes, and you can save a lot of money.
Every time Zhang An's family came to see her in the past two years, they would buy her a dress.
When Zhang An got married last year, Wang Fang and Su Ying bought her several outfits when they came to pick her up.
I bought more than in the past few decades, which made the old lady feel bad.
So now she keeps talking about the fact that she has no more clothes at home.
"Mom, I didn't buy this. Your granddaughter-in-law bought this. If you want to complain, just blame her."
Looking at the old lady's distressed appearance about the money, Wang Fang passed the blame to his daughter-in-law.
"What are you talking about? Don't complain, don't complain."
Sure enough, when the old lady heard that the clothes were bought by her granddaughter-in-law, she immediately stopped saying those words about money.
How can we say that the filial piety of a grandson-in-law is a waste of money.
The old lady held the clothes and praised the color of the clothes and how nice they looked.
When everyone was getting things in the car, the old man looked at his head and tried not to look at them, but his eyes were squinting.
Over the past few years, every time Zhang An and his family came over, they would only buy this and that for the old lady.
Although Wang Shiyan, a bad old man, said he didn't care, he wouldn't take it if he bought it.
But I haven’t bought anything for him, and the old man is still feeling hungry.
He thought that with his head raised to the other side, no one could see him.
As everyone knows, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren on the side clearly saw his little actions.
Zhang An didn't want to pay attention to him and wanted to tease him again, but Wang Fang beside him shook his head at his son.
It is always the flesh that falls off his body. Naturally, Wang Fang knows best what Zhang An is thinking.
But even if the old man had many faults in the past, in the end he was still her father.
No matter what it was like before, now that I am older, I look a little pitiful.
The families of his sons, whom he has always praised, are now afraid of being sidelined by him. They can only say that things are unpredictable.
As the old saying goes, poor people must be hateful, and hateful people must suffer sadly. This is really true.
My mother has spoken, so Zhang An naturally has no other ideas.
Take the pair of old man's leather shoes that Su Ying bought for him and walk towards him.
"Here, these are the shoes I bought for you. If you like them, wear them. If not, throw them away."
Despite being told by his mother, Zhang An was still It's impossible to get close to him. It's good to be able to talk to him well.
"Although these shoes are not very good, it would be a pity to lose them."
Wang Shiyan, a bad old man, did not expect that Zhang An's family would buy him anything, and he was surprised, but He still spoke forcefully.
He actually wanted to see if Zhang An had brought the two bottles of Maotai he had agreed to.
But with these shoes, he was a little embarrassed to speak. "Okay, okay, why don't I promise you less? I can get it personally."
Although Zhang An didn't have a good impression of the old man, he felt very respectful to his grandmother.
If you want to take the old lady over to live with your family, the old lady will not agree to anything.
So if you can make this old man change a little bit, the smile on grandma's face will be more.
“You have to have it if you want it.”
Wang Shiyan didn’t see the wine at first, and felt a little disappointed. After all, he is soft-spoken and short-handed.
After receiving the leather shoes Zhang An bought for him, he was embarrassed to speak.
Now that I saw Zhang An taking out two bottles of Moutai, his whole body became as bright as the sun.
After getting what he had been thinking about, the old man didn't hold back and accepted it with a smile.
After taking the things, the old lady returned to the house with her whole family.
Only some people were left listening in with their doors closed, eating in silence.
Some people now regret very much that they followed the old man and chose the principle of consistent external relations.
As a result, the old man was the first to rebel and raised the white flag to surrender.
On the contrary, they were left unable to behave. Even if they wanted to bow their heads now, Zhang An would not give them a chance.
Wang Fang couldn't even open his mouth. After all, people have to bear the consequences they want for what they have done.
It was noon in a blink of an eye, and the old lady and Wang Fang began to prepare lunch.
Su Ying wanted to get up and clean up, but was stopped by the old lady who felt sorry for her grandson-in-law.
The old man couldn't bear to leave his beautiful and beautiful granddaughter-in-law to get up and get busy.
"The old lady is going to get some sausages and bacon to cook. I'm going to catch a chicken and kill it."
The old lady didn't expect her daughter's family to come over today, so she didn't prepare anything. vegetable.
But there was a piece of freshly cooked pork belly in the pot, as well as the remaining bacon that had been cut previously.
Go to the vegetable patch to pick some vegetables and come back, and you can make five or six dishes on the table, enough for the whole family.
But at this time, the old man Wang Shiyan behind him spoke and took the initiative to add food.
Old Mrs. Li Chun'e looked at her husband in surprise, as if she were looking at someone she didn't know.
This is the first time in so many years that the old lady has heard such words from his mouth, and she said them to Zhang An's family.
In the past, it was impossible to even think about it.
Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo on the side were also quite stunned, because in the past few decades, they knew that this person in their family was not very nice to their family.
In the past, when my attitude was better, I just said a few words to them in a friendly manner.
I didn’t expect that when the sun came out in the west today, the old man would think of them.
Knowing that several people had been staring at him, Wang Shiyan felt a little embarrassed on his face.
Without even looking back, he ran to the chicken pen in the main room and caught a big rooster, ready to slaughter it.
In fact, no one knows that there is a reason why this stubborn old man changed like this.
On the one hand, the two bottles of wine Zhang An brought him were his favorites in his life, so he was very happy today.
Also, the leather shoes brought to him today made him a little overwhelmed.
Another reason is that when Zhang An got married last time, he took the old lady over.
Leaving him at home alone, he didn't want to go to Zhang An's house at that time.
I just thought that he still had a few sons around him, so he could still live his life without the old woman.
Unexpectedly, the words he had always spoken to his sons, whom he had always been proud of, were more pleasant to the ears than the last.
But after the old woman was no longer at home, none of the sons wanted to take care of him.
It seems like everyone is afraid of getting involved with him. You push me and I push you.
At this time, he can still eat and walk. He is not lying in bed unable to move, and he is not in a place where he is being served.
Just for a few meals, those sons avoided him like a tiger.
This made Wang Shiyan, who had been proud all his life, deeply hit. He had self-doubt for the first time in his life.
So later he forced several unfilial sons to help him harvest the rice from the fields.
Because he could not see the old woman go home for a long time, he was afraid that the Zhang An family would leave the old woman there and not let her go back.
When the rice in this field stops harvesting, no one will care about him in the future, and he is worried that he will not have food to eat.
In the following months, even though Zhang An sent the old lady back, he made some changes.
Whenever there was something to do at home, he would do it with the old lady. He was no longer like before, just lying down and eating ready-made food.
Zhang Jianguo knew his son's attitude towards the old man. It was not easy to do this today, so he didn't say anything.
He got up and went out by himself to kill chickens with the old man.
After working for more than an hour, Wang Fang and the old lady cleared away a large table of dishes.
Looking at the dishes on the table, although the old lady was smiling, she felt quite uncomfortable.
In the past, the old man had a bad temper and she couldn't make any decisions.
For so many years, this is a decent meal that my daughter and her family have come to cook.
"Come on, little An Xiaoying, you eat more, less rice, and more vegetables, otherwise if you go back, we won't be able to finish it in a few days."
The old lady didn’t eat much herself, she was always picking up food for her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady’s cooking skills are not to be boasted, these dishes are very delicious.
After all, Wang Fang’s cooking skills were mostly taught by the old lady since she was a child.
"Grandma, you should eat too, don't just watch us eat."
Su Ying also brought some vegetables to the old lady, and the old lady happily picked up the bowl after seeing it. Eat together.
Old man Wang Shiyan on the other side was thinking about having sex with Zhang An.
But when he thought about it, his grandson never had a good attitude towards him, so he also fell into this bad luck.
He turned to his son-in-law Zhang Jianguo next to him and drank some together.
Fortunately, he didn't look for Zhang An. Otherwise, if Zhang An didn't drink with him, he would be depressed for a while. After all, this old man is very stingy.
Because Zhang An is used to driving without drinking, he will definitely not drink with him.
After the meal, the family sat with the old lady for another afternoon, and bursts of laughter came from the room.
At around four o'clock, it was time for the family to go back. If it was any later, it would be dark on the way back.
The old lady knew that her daughter had a lot of things at home and could not live without them, so she reluctantly sent the family out.
Before leaving, Zhang An made another three-part agreement with the old man.
It's still the same as last year. As long as he doesn't act like a monster and maintains his performance this year, then there will definitely be something good this year and next year.
Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything.
When Wang Fang didn't go out, she left an allowance of 200 yuan for the old lady, telling her to buy whatever she wanted and not to save.
There were too many to keep, and the old lady couldn’t keep her, because her daughters-in-law were not ordinary people.
Finally, the family said goodbye to the old lady who was full of reluctance.
Zhang An drove to the entrance of the village and waited until Wang Eryan, mother and son, came out of her natal home before the group set foot on the road home.
