The family was poor and schooling was expensive, so the original owner's grades were not good. His family asked him to drop out of school to earn money to support his younger brother's schooling, and he had no complaints.

When he was a teenager, he followed his family to work in the fields, and when he came home he kept the house in tidy order.

His younger brother only needs to concentrate on his studies and doesn't have to do anything else.

Because our family is poor, we can’t eat meat. My younger brother studies hard, so any good things are given to him first.

The original owner, who did heavy work, was not qualified to eat things like eggs, so they all went into his younger brother's mouth.

When the original owner grew up a little, he followed the villagers to go out and move bricks. He gave all the money he earned to his parents, and then his parents gave it to his younger brother.

When he was 25 years old, the original owner married a wife. He asked his wife to stay at home to take care of his parents, while he went out to work and only went home during the holidays.

At the beginning of this year, my wife became pregnant.

Unfortunately, the original owner's leg was hit by a steel plate at the construction site, breaking it.

As a last resort, the original owner had to return home to recuperate.

In the original plot, the contractor was quite kind and the compensation was a full 10,000 yuan, which was enough for the original owner to have a good bone-setting surgery in the hospital these days.

However, the money was coveted by his younger brother, who begged his parents to give it to him.

The original owner couldn't resist his mother's criticism and gave the money for his leg treatment to his younger brother.

As a result, he had no money to set his bones, and thus suffered lifelong disability.

Now the plot has just reached the time when the original owner's leg was broken and he was sent home.

The construction site compensation will arrive tomorrow.

After Chu Qi accepted the memory, she looked at her legs.

The legs have now been simply treated and are not as bloody as they were at the beginning.

But it's not much better.

The longer you delay bone setting, the more difficult it will be to treat.

This is the body that she will use for the rest of her life. Chu Qi takes her leg injury very seriously and decides to go to the hospital for treatment once the compensation arrives.

The middle-aged parents, the original owner's mother, Wu Zhaodi, finished scolding her daughter-in-law as usual and drank a sip of water refreshed.

Then she opened the curtain and walked into Chu Qi's room. Looking at her eldest son's horrible legs, she showed a sad expression:

"My son, does your leg still hurt?"

Chu Qi: "It hurts."

"My family doesn't have the money to treat your leg. What should I do..."

Wu Zhaodi said, "Luckily, you only have one leg broken. Look at the lame man in the next village, he also has only one leg broken, and he has lived like this for half his life. We don't have much money at home, so let's not treat his leg."

Chu Qi pulled the quilt under her neck and said, "Didn't I just give you my wages last month? How come there is no money at home?"

Wu Zhaodi was not happy: "How can that little money be enough to treat the leg? Your father needs to drink, your brother needs to go to school, and the family needs to eat, so it will be spent all at once, right?

You are recovering at home this month and cannot earn money, and I still have to support you and that person who only eats for free. I don’t know where the money comes from...”

Chu Qi looked extremely sad and said sadly, "Mom, be honest with yourself, I have been working for the family since I was a child, how come I was raised in vain?

If it comes to being filial to you, I've given you all the money I've earned over the years, so how could it not be enough? Now that I'm recovering from a broken leg at home, I'm just eating for free?"

Wu Zhaodi rolled her eyes at Chu Qi's words:

"Isn't it your duty to give me money? Well, now that you've said so much, do you want to settle accounts with mom? You ungrateful bastard, I've raised you for so many years in vain..."

"Hey, it seems that what Brother Zhang said is right. After I was no longer useful, you really began to show your true colors."

Chu Qi made up a character to justify her changes.

"What's your true colors? I'm your mother, and you're so arrogant when I say a few words to you. You're getting more and more disobedient as you get older. You're nothing like your brother, who has been well-behaved and sweet-talking since he was young. You only know how to make your mother angry."

Wu Zhaodi skillfully belittled her eldest son and praised her younger son at the same time.

Chu Qi's legs hurt so much that she didn't want to say more. She just said:

"Brother Zhang said that being sweet-talking doesn't make you eat. My brother has been studying for so many years, but he has never earned a penny for the family. Before my leg was broken, the whole family depended on me for support."

"Just get out and stop making me angry." She closed her eyes.

Wu Zhaodi vaguely felt that there was something she was losing her grasp.

The eldest son suddenly became sharp-tongued and kept refuting himself.

Who is this guy who keeps calling me Brother Zhang?

Wu Zhaodi looked at her eldest son with an uncertain look, as he seemed to be getting ready to go to bed and really didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

Fortunately, she was planning to comfort him.

From childhood to adulthood, when have I ever spoken nicely to my eldest son?

I finally showed some concern for him, but my eldest son didn't appreciate it.

The more Wu Zhaodi thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt that her eldest son was out of her control.

It must be that Brother Zhang who said something wrong and led her good son astray.

No, I will have to wait a few days until my son’s leg pain is gone and he can speak properly, then I will start to teach him a lesson.

Now my eldest son speaks like a thorn in the side. It must be because of the pain in his legs.

Wu Zhaodi finished convincing herself and went out.

On the other side, a thin woman carried a basket of clothes to the river to wash.

After finally finishing washing the clothes, it was already afternoon.

Having not eaten much that day, Chen Xiaofang felt dizzy and hungry.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she took the washed clothes back to hang them out to dry.

Then he immediately prepared to take the sickle to cut grass for the pigs.

After cutting grass and feeding the pigs, Chen Xiaofang went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Chu Qi couldn't sleep at all because her legs were so painful.

She was looking forward to tomorrow coming soon.

Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, Chu Qi knew that his former wife Chen Xiaofang had returned.

Chen Xiaofang was also from this village. She was thin and small, like an undeveloped junior high school student, and she was not pretty, so no one in the village wanted to marry her.

Wu Zhaodi was attracted by Chen Xiaofang's hard work and willingness to work hard, and her family also asked for a small dowry, so she went to the Chen family to propose marriage on behalf of her eldest son.

The original owner could go directly home and enter the bridal chamber.

For Chen Xiaofang, she would work at home and after getting married, so she had no objection to doing so.

After dinner was ready, Chen Xiaofang couldn't even eat a bite before her mother-in-law rushed her to bring food to her husband.

Chu Qi opened her eyes and saw Chen Xiaofang lifting the curtain to bring her food.

Chen Xiaofang placed the meal on the bedside table and said timidly, "It's time to eat."

"You should go eat too, don't let my son starve."

Chu Qi spoke in the local accent.

Chen Xiaofang had no doubts. Although her husband didn't care about her, he was still very concerned about the baby in her belly.

Nodding, she returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Wu Zhaodi was upset by Chu Qi today, and she became even more annoyed with Chen Xiaofang. Seeing that she was about to eat, she angrily said:

"It's unruly. Who told you to eat? Didn't you see your parents-in-law were still eating?"
