Hard times have room

Chapter 756 The Best of Both Worlds
"You must remember what you said yourself!"

"Remember that you must not tell others what I said to you, or they will secretly laugh at me."

Wang Dongmei held a bamboo shoot shell, her thumb nails scratched on it unconsciously, until the peeled bamboo shoot shell was tattered, and then she made up her mind and opened her mouth.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Do you remember what I told you last year about going to school?"

"At that time, under your persuasion, I went back to school and got a primary school diploma. Now, although I have been studying in junior high school for a semester, I am not sure whether I should continue to study. I am very confused. ."

"Yesterday, my grandmother had a fight with my parents again because of this matter. It was very unpleasant, and my family members looked at me in the wrong way, no... not the kindness and tolerance that they used to be, but with a hint of indifference. "Wang Dongmei put her hands in her hair and rubbed it up and down slightly. At the same time, when she spoke, her tone was trembling unconsciously.

She is afraid, afraid, this change is more of a fear of where to go in the future, after all, she only has one home.

"I don't want my grandma to be so stiff with my parents because of my affairs. In the future, my grandma will always rely on my parents for the old age. Now their relationship has become so bad because of me, I am afraid that my grandma will suffer in the future. I can't take my grandma for a lifetime, I don't want to hurt her."

This is a ruthless fact. The water splashed by a married daughter will always be married, and grandma will always rely on her parents, brothers and sisters for the old age. Now the relationship is so tense, she is afraid that her grandma will live in the future. suffer.

This kind of thing is not without a criminal record, but a criminal record in front of her, which left a deep impression on her. It was her neighbor, the mute mother-in-law who lived behind her house.

She also has a bad relationship with her daughter-in-law. She used to fight like something, but now that she is old, she can't move anymore and can't create any value for the family. Under the pressure of her daughter-in-law, she was directly abandoned by her family .

I don’t usually talk about the lack of food and drink. They also deliberately drove the elderly out to dig wild vegetables on rainy days. This kind of thing happened more than once. It is said that the dumb mother-in-law had a high fever at night because of the rain. Yes, after a few days of coughing on the sickbed, the mute grandmother finally left. After a night of coldness, she was discovered.

She saw with her own eyes that the mute mother-in-law was scrawled into a ball, wrapped in a ragged mat, and her children and grandchildren took her to the mountain and buried it hastily.

It hasn't been long since this incident happened last month. She still dreams of this scene from time to time. The mute grandmother is trembling on crutches and carrying a basket. Her hair was wet and loose, and she hadn't been groomed for a long time.

Then she would unconsciously replace the mute mother-in-law's face with her grandmother's. It was terrible. She woke up from a dream countless times, and her pillow had become wet.

"I don't know either, but I suggest you go and ask your grandma what she thinks. Before making a decision, let's communicate with the old man!"

"Now that you are already studying the second volume of the first grade, you have already paid the tuition fees, and you have been studying for a month. When you want to give up, just think about the scenes of you carrying your schoolbag and walking to school all these years!"

After thinking about it, Paulin still put her hand on Dongmei, very close to her, and said in her ear: "We are all children from poor families, and if we want to change our lives in this life, the most direct and clear way is to study. , Now that you have this opportunity, it is up to you whether you can seize it or not."

"Before making a decision, think about whether you will regret it in the future. If you think you will regret it in the future, you are trying your best to seize every opportunity that you can seize. If you miss it, you will really miss it, and there will be no comeback. opportunity."

Paulin knew that the overall situation of the Wang family was indeed unfavorable to Dongmei. There was no way. This was the limitation of this era. Even in later generations, this situation has not completely disappeared, let alone now, everywhere.

If Dongmei really has troubles such as tuition fees, she can help. Now junior high school doesn't cost much. As for the later, don't think about it, just live in the moment, just take a step by step, she doesn't want to do too much for the future set up.

But now it's clear that Dongmei's pressure comes from within the family, not from outside. It's from her family. Bao Lin can't help her with this. She can only say some words of encouragement and enlightenment. Look at herself. Can you make it through.

If you want to open it, then it's fine, you should go or continue, but if you don't want to open it, then it's another matter.

"I don't know. It's annoying. Every time I think about this, I feel like my head is going to explode. I can't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds."

"I don't want my relationship with my grandmother and my parents to get worse because of me, and I don't want my relationship with my closest family to get worse, but I don't want to give up reading. I know that reading is good for me. It's really important."

"Paulin, am I being too greedy? I want everything." Wang Dongmei's eyes widened, she wanted Baolin to give her an answer, she had been struggling for too long.

This year, just a few days after she went to school, she accidentally heard what her second sister-in-law said to her sister-in-law. They said that her reading was useless at all. A girl did not work at home to take care of her children, but instead provided her to study, and none of the men in the family studied. Yes, why did she make it special? It must be because the old woman in the family is biased and so on.

At that time, she felt very uncomfortable. She thought about it for a long time. What her second sister-in-law said that day kept ringing in her ears. She didn't know what to do to get the best of both worlds.

"No, you're not greedy at all, you deserve it."

"Think about it carefully. Have all five of your brothers studied? Did your dad send them to school? Then why aren't you the one who was sent to school after your brother?"

"If your brother can go to this school, then you can go too. If your brother can study, then you can too. Don't say anything different from your brother and you. It's all the same. You have to remember this."

As for more, Pauline didn't say any more. She was afraid that she would say something surprising, and it would be bad if she misunderstood her children. After all, the times were different, and she was not sure if she was right.

In fact, Dongmei should have an answer in her heart. From the last sentence she asked if she was very greedy, she could know that she wanted it all, and she wanted the best of both worlds.
