Because her son came to demand money and she didn't have any to give, Meng Shuyun was forced to death.
From disappointment, regret, and pain, Meng Shuyun awoke from a dream and was rebor...
Meng Shuyun carried a full basket of vegetables steadily in one hand and a bag of milk candy in the other, walking briskly home.
Once home, she quickly found some red paper, carefully wrapped eight milk candies in it, and neatly wrote the lunar date of the full moon celebration on it.
Li sent two packs of milk candy to her best friend's family, and Li's family also sent two packs, delivering the candy to each of their homes.
When Su Xiuju returned, the fried pork belly in the pot had just been steamed, and the aroma had already begun to fill the air.
"Mom, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good, my mouth is watering!"
As soon as Su Xiuju stepped into the kitchen, her eyes widened at the tempting pork belly on the cutting board, and she couldn't stop swallowing.
Upon hearing their aunt's voice, Xiaoli and Xiaojuan immediately hopped over like two happy little rabbits and hugged her legs tightly.
The two girls, as if presenting a treasure, pulled out milk candies from their pockets and said in their childish voices, "Auntie, have some."
Su Xiuju looked at the two adorable little ones with a face full of doting affection.
She mysteriously pulled two small yellow flower hair clips from her pocket and gently placed them on the tops of the two sisters' heads, saying with a smile, "Xiaoli and Xiaojuan are so good, these are for you, they're so pretty!"
The two sisters, their eyes sparkling, wearing new hair clips, ran to Meng Shuyun's side again.
Hugging her leg, she tilted her little head up and asked, "Grandma, is it pretty?" Xiao Juan asked in her childish voice.
"Grandma, do you like it?" Xiaoli asked as well.
Meng Shuyun was busy chopping vegetables with a knife in her hand when she said in an annoyed tone, "Grandma is too old to wear this. Xiaoli and Xiaojuan look the best in it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoli quickly took off her hair clip, held it in both hands, and handed it to Meng Shuyun, saying, "Grandma, here you go. You'll definitely look good wearing it."
Looking at the sensible Xiaoli, Meng Shuyun couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her nose, saying with a smile, "You little rascal, open your mouth."
She cut off a piece of lean meat and stuffed it into Xiaoli's mouth, and then stuffed a piece into Xiaojuan's mouth as well.
Su Xiuju watched eagerly from the side, her mouth agape, waiting for Meng Shuyun to feed her.
"You have no manners." Although Meng Shuyun said this, she still put a piece of meat in her mouth.
Su Xiumei, who was tending the fire, watched this heartwarming scene with a hint of envy in her eyes, but she quickly hid it and continued to silently add firewood to the stove.
Meng Shuyun saw this and didn't leave her out either. She stuffed a piece of meat into Su Xiumei's mouth and said, "Open your mouth and taste the saltiness."
Su Xiuju was very satisfied with the meat she ate. She coaxed Xiaoli and Xiaojuan to go out and play and take a bath before preparing to sit down for dinner.
"Mom, Miao Miao's birthday is next week, and she invited me to her birthday party. Can I go?" Su Xiuju looked at Meng Shuyun expectantly.
A birthday party?
Upon hearing this, Meng Shuyun put down her chopsticks and asked, "What time will you be back? I'll come pick you up if it's late."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiuju knew that her mother had agreed, and she was overjoyed. She quickly put a piece of egg into everyone's bowl.
"I can get back by myself around 8 p.m., and I have prepared a flashlight."
Su Xiulan interjected, "After you've eaten, come to my room. I'll give you a hundred yuan. Use it to buy a pretty dress and some cosmetics."
Su Xiumei smiled and said, "I'm a little short on cash, so I'll just give you fifty. Take it and buy a few more pairs of leather shoes."
That was a birthday party; you could tell it was something only wealthy people would host.
Xiaoli and Xiaojuan, the two sisters, looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes and asked, "Auntie, will there be cake at the birthday party?"
Grandma used to dote on Dazhuang the most. On Dazhuang's birthday, Grandma took him to town to eat cake.
When Dazhuang came back, he was extremely proud and kept showing off, saying that the cake was white, sweet, and delicious.
Upon hearing this, the two sisters were filled with longing for the cake.
"Yes, it's a very big cake. I'll bring one for each of you when I get back," Su Xiuju said with a smile.
"How big is it? Is it as big as a plate?" Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Is anyone that tall?" Xiao Juan asked as well.
“Uh…” Although Su Xiuju didn’t know exactly how big the cake was, she had heard someone mention it, so she said, “It’s as big as the two of you combined.”
"Eat your food properly and don't bother your aunt. After you've eaten, wash your face and hands and go to bed," Meng Shuyun said with a smile.
After finishing our meal and clearing the table, it was time to divide the money.
Since Meng Kangshun was not present this time, Meng Shuyun released his copy separately.
Su Xiulan handed the prepared one hundred yuan to Su Xiuju and said, "My sister is going, she will definitely stun everyone, she will wear the most beautiful dress."
Su Xiumei also stuffed the money into Su Xiuju's hand, saying, "This is for you to buy shoes."
Su Xiuju was deeply moved. She knew that her two older sisters had always loved her dearly and always saved the best things for her.
"Big sister, second sister, I have my own money, you don't need to give me so much. Look, Mom gave me another fifty yuan, and I haven't even spent all of the last one she gave me."
Su Xiuju wanted to refuse, but her two older sisters didn't give her a chance.
Su Xiulan had already gotten up and gone back to her room. Su Xiumei also got up and walked out, pointing to the kitchen and saying, "There's a lot of ashes in the stove. I'll go rake it up and put it under the banana tree for composting."
Meng Shuyun stopped Su Xiuju, who was about to chase after her, and said, "Please accept the kindness of your two older sisters. I've been using the sewing machine to make hair accessories lately, so I haven't had time to make you a new dress. Take this fifty yuan and buy whatever pretty dress you want."
Su Xiuju was deeply moved and threw herself into Meng Shuyun's arms, saying, "Mother, you are so good to me! Thank you."
Inside the clinic.
The sudden arrival of five wounded people, a whole family, shocked the hospital's doctors and nurses.
Everyone was wondering to themselves, what kind of deity did this family offend to be hacked to pieces like this?
Mao Xiaoli cried her heart out at the entrance of the emergency room. She cried so hard that she fainted. After waking up, she continued to cry, and then fainted again a short while later.
All the doctors and nurses from the health center rushed over and busied themselves performing surgery on the five members of the Jiang family.
Due to the shortage of hospital rooms, they could not be arranged to stay together as a family and had to stay separately.
Mao Xiaoli ran back and forth between the three wards; she was now the only person in the Jiang family who could move around.
As soon as Mao Xiaoli lost consciousness, a nurse quickly came over and pinched her philtrum.
If something happens to Mao Xiaoli, no one will pay for the medical expenses of these five people.
With tears streaming down her face, Mao Xiaoli woke up from her coma and went into Jiang Jinbiao's room.
Just then, a doctor and nurses were making their rounds. The bed railing, which had been closed, was pulled up, revealing Su Dahai with his legs dangling.
