After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
Both of them looked like extremely filial sons, watching Huang Cuifen cry her heart out.
His family is in such a state lately, not to mention his mother, he himself is having a hard time, so he doesn't have time to care about anything else.
However, the third brother is not much better than him; now he's putting on an act.
Su Nianyou, who was standing to the side, was also extremely excited, and acted as if she couldn't smell the odor in the room.
Her mind was filled with the thought that she had finally waited for this moment, that her good days were coming, and that after all the suffering she had endured, God had finally opened his eyes.
She thought about the male protagonist's experiences in the city, and she dared not imagine how happy she would be if she became that rich.
"Mom, don't worry, Baidao and I will definitely take good care of you in the future. Your grandson is also waiting for Grandma to get better and hold him."
Su Nianyou touched her belly and looked at Huang Cuifen with excitement in her eyes.
Looking at her two sons and her only remaining daughter-in-law, Huang Cuifen knew perfectly well that they were just deceiving her.
But what could she do? She only had two sons, and she couldn't bring the one in the city back without doing so. She would have to rely on them to support her in her old age.
And this youngest daughter-in-law is quite good; if it were someone else, they would have run away long ago.
Even she, if she weren't paralyzed, would have wanted to go back to her parents' home and remarry, but this daughter-in-law is devoted to following the third son.
She loves her third son so much that she can forgive her even when she's angry, as long as he continues to live a good life with her. She remembers his kindness.
Her youngest son is right. She'll be taking care of her grandchildren in the future, and since they want to live a good life, they certainly won't dare treat her like this again.
She gives whatever her sons in the city give her to whoever is obedient, not afraid that they will treat her badly in the future.
Huang Cuifen stopped being angry when she thought about it. In the end, she was forced into this situation by the people in the brigade.
When their family was doing well, things weren't like this. Her two sons were very well-behaved and obedient.
"Alright, what can I do? You're my own children." Huang Cuifen said with a laugh.
"Mother, we all know we were wrong. Please tell us about what happened in the capital." Wei Baidao looked at her anxiously.
"It's a long story. The guy in Beijing is your brother. With his help, you can expect to have a good life from now on."
"Would your mother ever harm you? I told you long ago that our family is different from other families, and you will all be people of high status in the future."
Huang Cuifen is proud, but she won't tell everyone everything; she doesn't trust anyone now.
And with the family in this state, she's using this matter to control her two sons. If they find out everything, they might start spreading rumors, which would be disastrous.
"Mother, what do you mean by that? I don't know I have any brothers in the capital." Wei Baidao knew from his mother's expression that she wasn't telling the truth.
"Later, your father and I rescued a child in the mountains, and his family, to thank us, recognized us as their godparents."
"Your father only remembered this matter a few days before he got into trouble. He was thinking of writing a letter back to ask them to help him get his job back, but who knew that your father would end up in jail like this."
"Later I wasn't sure if they still remembered us, but now that this letter has arrived, it means they still remember us."
“You have no idea how powerful that family is. If we had their help, nothing would be a matter of just lifting a finger.”
"At that time, not only will your father be able to get out, but our whole family might also be able to go to the city to work as laborers and get a government job."
Huang Cuifen was very proud of herself, thinking she was extremely clever, so that even if her son called her "Mom" in the letter, it would be understandable.
Wei Baidao felt something was amiss. If his parents had really saved someone, how could they have waited until now?
They had already asked for favors from the family when they were rescuing them, and they hadn't been in contact for so many years. Would the family really help them?
"Mother, why didn't you say so sooner? We haven't been in contact for so many years, they might not even remember us. Hurry up and see what the letter says."
Wei Baidao was unsure of himself, feeling that his mother was getting excited too soon; she might as well have asked for a job back then.
Maybe his whole family went to the city a long time ago. Now it's too late. Are his parents out of their minds? They've missed a great opportunity.
"Hmph, what do you know? Hurry up and read what's written in the letter." Huang Cuifen thought of her second son, who was born looking like a cat, and she was also worried about him.
Wei Baidao opened the letter and noticed that the envelope was not sturdy, with a small tear, but he didn't think much of it.
He eagerly opened the letter, reading it at first, but then he couldn't read any more and skimmed through it.
"Mother, is this the backing you were talking about? Look at what this letter says. They say they're the grandson of some high-ranking official in Beijing, and that we're just country bumpkins."
“They said we were trying to frame him, and that if we dared to disturb his life again, they would have someone ruin us. They also told us to stop writing to him.”
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Compared to his mother's smug look just now, his current surprised expression made him want to curse.
"Impossible, he wouldn't deny me, Third Brother, you must be mistaken." Huang Cuifen snatched the letter away and stared at it intently.
But she couldn't read and had no idea what was written in the letter.
Seeing the looks in the eyes of her eldest and third sons, and even the disappointment on the face of her third daughter-in-law, she knew they hadn't lied to her; everything in the letter was true.
"Fine, you're all ungrateful wretches. You've gotten so good out of yourselves that you don't care about your parents anymore, huh? I'm going to sue him! I'm going to sue him!"
The happier she was just moments ago, the more unacceptable it became now; Huang Cuifen was so angry she almost fainted.
"Mother, what...what did you just say?" Wei Baide was stunned. What did his mother mean by not caring about his own parents?
"Eldest brother, third brother, you don't know, he's your own brother. Back then, Mother switched him with a big shot's child so that he could have a better life."
"We were hoping that he would become successful and take us to enjoy the good life together, but now that he's successful, he has no intention of taking care of us at all."
“If it weren’t for us, he wouldn’t be where he is today. That ungrateful wretch, I won’t let him get away with this.”
Huang Cuifen cursed viciously as she spoke.
Wei Baide and Wei Baidao were completely bewildered, and it took them a long time to realize what their mother was talking about.
"You mean that's my real second brother?" Wei Baidao knew that the person must have switched identities with his current second brother.
No wonder his mother disliked his second brother since he was a child; it turns out he wasn't her biological son after all!
"Yes, that's your own second brother, that heartless bastard," Huang Cuifen cursed through gritted teeth.
"Mother, why didn't you choose me back then? Of all your sons, why did you choose the second one?" Wei Baidao looked at Huang Cuifen with a dissatisfied expression.
