《Lie and win in the chronology with space (MTL)》Chapter 22

"Don't scare me, it's illegal to have a family thing! I think you're just flabbergasted. I'll give you a good face for two days and don't know what your surname is? Even if you get married, I gave birth to you. I'll sue you for being unfilial, and I'll arrest you for re-education through labor!"
Liu Lanxiang trembled as soon as she gave birth to her son, and she was so useless that she even gave birth to three lost money when she married, her waist was straighter than anyone else, and she dared to talk back to her mother-in-law. The sister-in-law is the best, and even more so in her own small family.
Especially the eldest daughter is not pleasing to the eye, and thinks that she is the one who brings bad luck to her and does not give birth to a son. If one day she doesn't scold her and kick her a few times, she will feel bad luck if the bad luck doesn't disappear!
"I can't tell you a broom star, you call Tang Yuanzheng over for me, and tell him to call the village to let him go!
A group of dogs see low-level things, and officials with big sesame and mung beans also consider themselves a leader. My son-in-law is the battalion commander! If you dare to be shameless, I will shoot you all!"
Liu Lanxiang started scolding, and even the village leaders sprayed at the back, so mad that it was almost limitless. A Jian Qingmiao really has a mother and a daughter.
Jian Qingtong's face sank, knowing that trouble was coming.
She had expected that Jane's second wife and his wife would suck Tang Yuanzheng's blood, but she didn't expect it to be so rampant so quickly.
They actually didn't feel guilty about designing Tang Yuanzheng before, and they didn't have the slightest reverence for his position, so it was a matter of course.
She overestimated their bottom line.
Jian Qingtong reflected on his own assumptions for three seconds.
She seems to have the same problem as most transmigration female rebirth girls. She thinks that she can predict the plot and has received higher education in the future. She subconsciously feels that she has the perspective of God, and can easily predict the behavior of others, trying to interfere or even arrange the ending of others.
How can people be so simple!
The little butterfly flapped her wings, and the story changed. She couldn't look at people with the old eyes from the book.
Besides, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand readers. Everyone has different experiences and will have very different understandings of the same text. She may not be able to guess the author's writing intention 100%.
What's more, she didn't even read the original book carefully, and it was impossible to take it out of context.
What's more noteworthy is that the characters also have their own ideas.
The book world is not entirely limited to the thin description of hundreds of thousands of words in the book, which is too one-sided and too crude.
Everyone here is the protagonist of their own story, inextricably linked to other people who have been named in the book or not;
they are living a real life that is either boring, regular or unexpected every day. , constitute their rich and unique destiny full of unknowns, until the moment when the coffin is finalized, no one can assert the merits and demerits of others.
That would be too arbitrary.
Jian Qingtong self-reflected and guarded against arrogance and impatience, and calmly rummaged through the pre-coded dialogue on the laptop, found the paragraphs that could be used, and read according to the script:

"It's useless for you to find Tang Yuanzheng, the troops don't care about local affairs, The two systems.
If you think you are justified, go to the police and find the court, don't bother us. We don't make the law, we all have to obey the law."
Liu Lanxiang didn't like her, and continued to mess around:
"Don't play officialdom with me, you've only been married for a few days, you know shit! Ask Tang Yuanzheng to come and tell me.
Isn't he an official? He can't handle such trivial matters? Then he just doesn't have the ability. A useless bastard who doesn't poop in a dungeon , why don't you make room for someone else to go home and farm!"
As if he felt that the threat was not strong enough, he added viciously: "Anyway, you can figure it out, if it can't be done.
, I will go and report to the army leader that Tang Yuanzheng is incompetent and slapped his officials, let's see how you can betray me!"
Jian Qingtong rubbed her numb ears, and automatically took the next sentence for her in her mind: Just ask if you are afraid!
Jian Qingtong was amused by his own brain supplement, and miraculously, his thinking was not stopped by anger, and he provided a new line very powerfully:
"You got rid of his official, how can you bully others in the future?" The
other end of the phone was stuck . , I could hear Liu Lanxiang's wheezing and panting.
You must be outraged, right?
Jian Qingtong's eyes lit up, and he pursued the victory:
"Cutting someone's future is like killing one's parents, so you shouldn't be afraid of Tang Yuanzheng taking revenge, killing your relatives and reporting you to go through the back door for favoritism?
He is an official. If you want to use him to suppress the village cadres, then you yourself are not afraid of him. You are not even an official with sesame and mung beans!"
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Liu Lanxiang yelled in anger:
"You are too timid, dare to talk to me like this? I'm your mother! Report me I'm going to report you two little bastards with a heart and a black heart! When I gave birth to you, you should have been thrown into a ditch to drown, a debt collector, a broom star..."
"If you scold me again, I will find someone to deal with your precious son. ."
Jian Qingtong heard her scolding more and more dirty, could not bear to make a threat.
"You dare! You @#¥%..."
Liu Lanxiang was pushed into her trachea by her, and another wave of vicious curses erupted.
Jian Qingtong hung up the phone with a snap, and calmly calmed down her anger slowly.
Unreasonable! Talking to them was a challenge of patience, like a catastrophe.
"Are you alright? Don't be angry, say something good, there is no overnight feud between a mother and a daughter."
Liu Dani looked at her ugly face and persuaded her kindly.
Jian Qingtong glanced at her expressionlessly without making any excuses.
Even in the future generations with open-mindedness a hundred years later, there are still people who like to act as moral guards on the Internet, and make some arbitrary and extreme kidnapping remarks like "all-round parents".
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and a hundred kinds of rice feed a hundred kinds of people. If all the parents in the world were doing their jobs, all the crimes of abandonment and abuse in the code could be abolished.

It's right to be good at filial piety first, but you can't be foolish filial piety. Some super scumbag parents just don't deserve it.
Jian Qingtong, who has a weak relationship between the two generations, is extremely disdainful of this, and she is too old to yearn for family affection. In the last days, there have been many tragedies in human relations, and people have to rely on themselves.
But these words are not enough for outsiders.
She knows that Liu Dani is not bad-hearted, and may even represent the views of the vast majority of people today;
she is heroic but reckless in trying to fight against the world by herself, and it is not a matter of life and death, so she will not ask for trouble eat.
Do not persuade others to be kind without suffering others. This sentence may not work in a relatively conservative society like today.
What is advocated now is sacrifice, dedication, hard work and hard work, and the stereotype of women is even more deadly. Not only should they be good housewives, and they should serve the family, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation; but also women can hold up half the sky and go out to work like men to earn money to support their families. .
This is the great progress brought about by the emancipation of the mind and the hard evidence of the improvement of the status of women.
Everyone happily sings praises, not feeling at all that women's responsibilities are actually heavier, because most men don't go home and share the housework, and still see this part as women's responsibility.
The most ridiculous or sad thing is that this is not an idea unique to men, but a view that most lesbians are also willing to accept. Similar situations include the handling of parent-child relationships. For example, famous phrases such as "Parents are all in the world" and "Parents are for your own good" are widely popular, brainwashed and cruel.
Jian Qingtong is sober, she has already completed the shaping of her independent personality, of course she will not be easily shaken by bewitching.
Or it can be called her willfulness and arrogance.
Jian Qingtong is undoubtedly stubborn and arrogant, otherwise she would not be able to survive the lonely and long dark childhood, the more desperate and cruel apocalypse, and the unparalleled death cycle.
But she is also good at introspection, with her unique cunning in the world, clumsily and covertly quietly setting her own comfort zone, silently rejecting all kinds of unpleasant reasons, trying to live a comfortable life.
She has always done this very well, and she instinctively does the same after reading through the book.
To her, the word "do as the locals do" is only a psychological comfort that can be brought out when needed, which will help her restore the peace of her inner world, but will not destroy the existing order at all.
This is Jian Qingtong, unpleasant but basically harmless, a little cutie who is ordinary and will be happy with herself, she is self-proclaimed.
"My mother, she forced me to make mistakes."
Jian Qingtong didn't want to do useless arguments to argue with others, but he also didn't want to let others misunderstand.
When Liu Dani heard this, she immediately changed her tone:
"Ah, that's not good! Is your mother's ideology so bad? You must not listen to her. We are all military wives now, and we must always be strict with ourselves and not make mistakes. !"
A smile appeared in Jian Qingtong's eyes, and she gave herself a compliment silently in her heart, she is really a clever little ghost.
"I know!" She nodded heavily, "If she wasn't my mother, I would have drawn a clear line with her long ago. I don't pursue progress at all. I always want to drag my legs and make small moves, which is shameful."
Liu Dani sighed:
"Oh, you can't do anything either. , I don't think your mother is ugly, who told you to have such parents."
After sighing, he asked:
"What mistakes did she force you to make?"
Jian Qingtong put on an expression of grievance, embarrassment, anger and determination.
This is what she thought, but in the eyes of others, she just widened her eyes.
"My sister was arrested for killing someone, and my mother asked me to help her go through the back door and let my sister go. She scolds me if I refused, and even hit Tang Yuanzheng with her idea.
My Tang Yuanzheng is the kind of person who knows the law and breaks the law . A principled person? I won't tell him, it's not enough for him to be embarrassed, he has worked hard enough to defend his family and the country every day, so he won't bother him with these things."
Tang Yuanzheng stopped outside the door with an inexplicable expression on his face.
After a morning meeting, which coincided with the intermission, Tang Yuanzheng heard that his daughter-in-law had come with the child, so he took the opportunity to come and have a look.
After the two quarreled last night, she was so angry that she fell asleep without even having dinner. Originally thought she was still angry with him, worried that she would take the two children out of anger, but I didn't expect to hear such a remark.
She's quite righteous, very different from the girl Diao, who was a naysayer to him.
"Dad, Dad." The
little dumpling saw his father first, and waved his arms excitedly to say hello. His two little feet kept jumping on the sofa, but he couldn't escape Liu Dani's clutches.
"Sister-in-law."
Tang Yuanzheng strode over, nodded at Liu Dani, picked up his daughter and sipped, and received the warm saliva from the little padded jacket to wash his face in return.
Jian Qingtong didn't expect Tang Yuanzheng to suddenly come over at this moment, and rubbed his fingers in embarrassment, not knowing how much he heard outside just now.
It's her fault that she was so immersed just now that she didn't notice the movement outside for a while, and was heard in the corner.
Just as she was at a loss, the phone rang again, she picked it up and fed, and Liu Lanxiang's loud and angry voice exploded in her ears again.
"Brother Zhao, how dare you hang up! Your wings are hard, aren't you, you don't even care about your mother? You are wicked and conscience..."
"I have something to talk about, I'll hang up if I have nothing to do, and the phone bill is very expensive." Jian Qingtong is experienced in cutting off the meaningless abuse of the other party.
Liu Lanxiang suffocated, like a seven-inch snake that was cut off, her heart aches and flesh aches.
It's so expensive to make a phone call!
This is all her money. She is very happy to spend it on her precious son and her mother's younger brother. If it is wasted on the dead girl of Zhaodi, then she will be struck by lightning!
"Debt collector!" She cursed bitterly, speeding up her speech and getting down to business.
"Tell them quickly and let Brother Pan out immediately! If you can't speak well, find Tang Yuanzheng! If you can't handle this, don't recognize me as a mother!"
After speaking in one breath, without waiting for Jian Qingtong to respond, Liu Lanxiang was the first to hang up the phone with a bang, for fear that she would be charged for taking a long breath.
Jian Qingtong blinked and hung up the phone slowly.
Don't recognize her mother? And this good thing!
Jian Qingtong squeezed the corners of her mouth that wanted to turn up. Facing the caring eyes of several people, she briefly summarized:
"My mother wants to cut ties with me."
Liu Dani took a deep breath and widened her eyes:
"And such a cruel mother? "
Jian Qingtong pursed her mouth and lowered her head in grievance.
Tang Yuanzheng saw the dazzling white gauze on the back of her head, and the doubtful thoughts in her heart were temporarily suppressed.
He is not as soft-hearted as a lesbian, and he has seen Jian Qingtong's unruly appearance saying a few words to him in private. Knowing that she only looks weak on the outside, in fact, she has a very right mind, not necessarily how innocent. .
But when it comes to the cruel mother in this world, he has seen a few, and Guoguo's mother is one of the best.
"Well, ah, Mom, hit." The
little dumpling seemed to sense that Jian Qingtong was unhappy, looked at her from Tang Yuanzheng's shoulder for a while, stretched out his arms and struggled to find her to hug.
Liu Dani dutifully rushed to hold the child, showing a warm smile at Tang Yuanzheng.
"Commander Tang, you don't know me, do you? No, it's me. My name is Liu Dani, Captain Li of the First Regiment, Third Battalion, Second Company, and his daughter-in-law. In the morning, I told your daughter-in-law that I will come to your house as a nanny.
You won't be home for dinner today . Can't you come back for dinner at night, I'll make more?" The
little dumpling struggled so badly that she couldn't hold it, so she hurriedly took it to Jian Qingtong:
"The big girl is looking for you, I know I feel bad for my mother, hurry up Hug her."
Jian Qingtong took it, the little dumpling snuggled up on her chest, stared at her for a long time with a pair of bright and innocent eyes, suddenly showed her a bright smile with four teeth, and buried her face in her arms Not moving.
Jian Qingtong patted her subconsciously, and the expression on her face was unconsciously relaxed.
Tang Yuanzheng stared blankly for a few seconds, but he didn't expect Guoguo to be so close to her.
Liu Dani looked from side to side winkingly, and said with a smile:
"Look, the mother and the child are the closest to each other. Once they arrive in mother's arms, they will be honest. The child's eyes are bright, and she knows who treats her well.
" I went to pack up my schoolbag and sun hat to prepare to go back. It was late, so it was time to make lunch.
Tang Yuanzheng still remembered her question just now, looked away from the two girls who were in love with each other over there, looked directly at Liu Dani and replied:
"Sister Liu, please trouble you, Jian Qingtong is not yet fully healthy, and she has to recuperate if her energy is weak. , relying on my sister-in-law to come and help for two days.
I don’t dare to work hard for you, just help with Guoguo when she picks up the children from school in the evening, and you don’t have to bother about cooking, I will ask someone to buy it in the cafeteria.”
Liu Dani When I heard this, I became anxious, stared at me and started to speak in a local accent:
"Captain Tang, what do you think of me? If you say something that I can't do, I will change it! Is it me? Do you think it is too expensive to ask for a salary of fifteen yuan a month? I said, as long as I can give me ten yuan a month, I will do it, and I don’t need to worry about food!”
Looking at Tang Yuanzheng's serious face, she panicked a little, rubbed her hands and looked at Jian Qingtong for help:
"Big sister, please help me to intercede, I really want to work in your house, I can do it, and don't bluff!"
Jian Qingtong saw Everyone was about to cry, and hurriedly smiled at her soothingly, took Tang Guoshui, who was curiously looking, and took her out to urinate, and talked to Tang Yuanzheng alone.
Liu Dani, as if receiving an amnesty, went out quickly with Guoguo in her arms, deliberately avoiding Tang Yuanzheng far away, and after going out, she hooked the door with her toes, leaving them a private space for conversation.
What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, Tang Yanwang is so bad-tempered, and Xiaojian can treat him. What is that called? Soft energy overcomes rigidity, yes, that's the word!
