"Jiang Xin, forget it. Since he said he would give us the baby by the end of the year, it's only three months away. Otherwise, we should just be patient. Your uncle and the head of the family are also his own flesh and blood. He can't just sit there and do nothing..."
Qiao Jiangxin snorted coldly, "You still think he is too kind. Even if he has a little fatherly love for uncle and dad, uncle would not be single now. You and dad have not conceived a child for so many years. Grandma often uses this to suppress you. Have you ever seen my grandfather tell you to take some money to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Qiao Youcai hung his head in dejection, "Brother... I, what on earth did he dislike about us that he had to keep us so restrained."
Qiao Youfu also lowered his head, but from his clenched fists, it could be seen that he was not at peace at the moment.
Everyone in the village laughed at him, even the young kids. He was also a man who longed for a home, a wife and children, and a warm bed. Last year, the widow Zhang came to see him privately. She said that as long as her ex-son was settled, she would live a good life with him.
He was also very happy, but Lei Honghua just said that he had no money.
He tried to fight for it later. Widow Zhang said she could give him one pound first and the rest later. Lei Honghua still said no. Qiao Jiuwang didn't say a word. They brothers had worked so hard for so many years, how could the family not have a single pound?
Sure enough, Lei Honghua spent three thousand to buy a temporary worker for Jianguo.
He knew better than his brother that if he stayed in this family, his life would be in jeopardy. He was unwilling to give up all his strength. Even if he could leave something behind, he would only leave it to Jiang Xin and the baby in the second brother's belly.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Youfu looked up at his niece and said, "Jiang Xin, how about we just leave clean? Your father and I are strong, and I don't believe that we can't support you and Ah Fang."
Qiao Youcai glanced at his wife's belly with complicated eyes, "There are two abandoned rooms at the educated youth center at the entrance of the village. I heard from the dwarf before that the team can rent them out for a little money.
Food, food... We can borrow some first, that is, our population land. If dad won’t let us take it away, then, then..."
Liu Afang listened to what her uncle and the man said, and subconsciously looked at Qiao Jiangxin.
Qiao Jiangxin's neck stiffened. "Why? If it weren't for my uncle and my father, would my third and fourth uncles have been able to go to school? Would the family have saved so much money? My third uncle got married, my younger aunt got married, and my fourth uncle got a job. All that money was earned by us.
You were able to earn adults' wages when you were in your teens. My mother also treated herself like a man and even I went home to work in the fields when I was in the third grade. My uncle and father were not well fed or clothed. They worked for the family for more than 20 years and raised my younger brothers and sisters. Why should they be kicked out with nothing? ”
"We can just stay here peacefully for the next few days. I have a way to make them beg our family. Since they won't give us a chance to live, don't blame us for risking our lives!"
Qiao Jiangxin whispered a few words to his uncle and parents, then turned around and went into the chicken coop to strangle the crowing rooster to death. If he didn't want to eat it, he wouldn't give it to them anyway. Even if they didn't, they were still family, so he could eat it first.
Hearing the chicken's screams, Lei Honghua rushed out of the room in a hurry, and saw Qiao Jiangxin coming out of the chicken coop carrying a rooster. She was so angry that her eyes went dark and she was about to fall to the ground.
