The last tenderness

In one afternoon, everyone in the village knew about it.

Most of Lao Wang's house has collapsed.

Bao Yixiuan felt sorry for her son. Now that the matter had been exposed, she took her son back to her home openly.

Her daughter didn't like the son she brought back at all.

Lao Wang and his mother renovated the collapsed house at home.

From time to time, someone would come over to lend a hand and ask if Lao Wang's son was Bao Yixuan's.

For human beings, the spirit of gossip will never be extinguished.

When Xu Roujun got home from work in the evening, she listened to the Xu family discussing the Wang family's affairs in the yard.

Xu Laoer said that Lao Wang was a fool who couldn't even control his lower body. Even if the other person was a fairy, he couldn't do that.

Xu Tianyi said that he saw a powerful man knock Xi Zhengtian unconscious today, but luckily he woke up at the hospital. He asked Xi Zhengtian who knocked him unconscious, but the guy didn't say a word.

After the family had finished talking, Xu Laoer asked Xu Wanrong how many work points she had earned today. Xu Wanrong said four work points.

Then he asked Xu Roujun.

Xu Wanrong said there were still two.

It's maintained very well, no more than yesterday, no less than yesterday.

Xu Lao Er said, "Tiantian, the two of you go to the Mahjong Brigade to fight for work points. You have to supervise your sister and try to earn more work points, understand?"

Xu Wanrong looked at the rice in the bowl and nodded to Xu Laoer: "I understand."

During the meal, Xu Wanrong glanced at Xu Tianyi who was sitting opposite her.

Her cousin is at home during the summer vacation. When he doesn’t have a car, he goes out to play, and when he has a car, he rides his bike every day.

She either does housework or looks after her sister at home.

Adults always say that Xu Tianyi will do great things in the future and support the family, and that Xu Tianyi doesn't need to do the chores at home.

Xu Wanrong didn't understand what a big deal was. How could she support her family? Could she support her family like her father, Xu Laoer?

Xu Laoer likes the feeling of being in control of the whole family and having the final say.

After finishing his meal, Xu Laoer threw away the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and went to wander outside the house.

The life of a local tyrant is so comfortable.

Today, Xu Laoer was chatting with his friends at the village entrance as usual.

At the entrance of the village, there are men, women, and some old men and women who like to gather together to chat.

This is the place with the most gossip in the whole village.

For example, the latest gossip is that Aunt Li found a thief at home. Her son had been secretly taking her pension money. This time, it was discovered by Aunt Li, and the mother and son had a fierce quarrel.

Some people said: "It's just a son taking the money. In the future, her son will still have to provide for her in her old age. In the end, all the money will go to her son!"

"That's right."

"It's not worth it for mother and son to quarrel over this!"

Xu Lao Er, who was listening nearby, nodded as well: "That's right, her son will have to support the old woman in the future! If she doesn't give this to her second son, and her son doesn't provide for her in her old age, she'll be bullied in the future."

"Who says it isn't?"

The old men and women in another place held a different view.

They are old now and have not enjoyed any blessings from their son, but they have given a lot of money to their own children.

There are also old men and women who are well taken care of by their children, so they hold different views.

It rained heavily on the third day.

Xu Wanrong was very happy looking at the heavy rain in the sky.

After delivering breakfast to Xu Roujun, I told her that I would go to the mahjong team later to continue playing mahjong.

Xu Roujun slept on her hay bed and said, "It's raining today. I won't go."

Xu Wanrong said, "I'll get you a raincoat." Mainly because she was worried that when she was not at home, her sister might say something like "baby", wouldn't she be at a disadvantage?

Xu Roujun looked at the heavy rain outside and said, "If I get sick from the rain, will my parents take me to the hospital for treatment?"

This is a very good question. Xu Wanrong thought about it.

She felt that the possibility of her parents sending her sister to the health center was relatively low, but the probability of letting her sister take care of the child at home was relatively high.

Xu Roujun said, "You go ahead today. I'll stay at home."

She had other purposes at home, and the heavy rain was just a cover.

Between meals, Xu Wanrong chose to go to work.

Xu Wanrong returned to the main room and told Ding Hui that she was going to the mahjong team to play mahjong by herself today, and her sister was at home.

Old Mrs. Xu has been eating at the brigade canteen these past two days.

Naturally, she heard Xu Wanrong and Ding Hui talking in the room.

She said, "Then you finally take your sister to the cafeteria to eat. Don't expect me to serve your stupid sister here."

Originally, Ding Hui wanted to rest at home, but after hearing what her mother-in-law said, she didn't want to rest at home anymore.

She said to Xu Wanrong, "I'm going to play mahjong with you today. When the time comes, bring your sister with you to play mahjong as well."

Xu Wanrong glanced outside. "But it's raining heavily today, and the cart is hard to push. It's easy to get stuck in the mud."

Ding Hui thought for a moment and said, "Then let your sister go."

"ah?"

Xu Roujun originally thought that she could continue to sleep in, but she didn't expect to be dragged out of the warm big bed by Ding Hui.

Xu Roujun looked at the heavy rain outside and said to Ding Hui, "Mom, it's raining so hard outside, why did you ask me to get up?"

Ding Hui said, "Of course, I'll go to the Mahjong Brigade to play Mahjong."

Xu Roujun thought to herself: "I only earn two work points every day, so it doesn't really matter whether I go or not, right?"

"It doesn't matter. You can go too. We in the Xu family don't support idlers."

"I won't go." Xu Roujun refused. "It's raining so hard outside, how can you keep me from getting wet?"

There are only two raincoats at home, one of which is a straw raincoat.

Could they give her this fool a raincoat?

Obviously impossible.

Ding Hui didn't want to come back to cook for Xu Roujun, so she wanted to drag Xu Roujun to the mahjong team to play mahjong!

Xu Roujun went crazy right there, picking up some broken wood from the woodshed and smashing it around.

Ding Hui was frightened by Xu Roujun's crazy look.

She jumped out of the woodshed and yelled, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you mad at me here?"

Xu Roujun looked at Ding Hui coldly.

She is pitiful as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, but what does this have to do with her?

If she can't stand up for herself, how can she expect others to stand up for her? No, others will only bully her harder.

"I'm your mother!"

Xu Roujun stared at Ding Hui. "You're my mother, so you can hit me on the head with a hammer and then expect me to love you without reservation and be grateful to you?"

"I did that for your own good!"

Xu Roujun: "Is it for my own good, or is it to curry favor with your son who has no ability but wants to curry favor with his nephew by selling your daughter? What good are you doing for me? Any mother with a normal mind would not do such a stupid thing! Don't use your set of rules to pressure me. I tell you, I would have died a long time ago. If you make me angry, none of you will live."

Ding Hui was shocked by Xu Roujun's words.

She turned around and chopped Xu Wanrong: "Is your sister okay?"

Xu Wanrong said, "Don't make her angry. Sometimes she doesn't think well and gets angry. Just like that, she had a quarrel with Aunt Wang yesterday. When I asked her about it when I got home, she had forgotten everything." Then she would go to play mahjong obediently.

She had seen this situation once before in the Mahjong Brigade.

Ding Hui glanced at Xu Roujun as she returned to the woodshed and lay back down on the straw. She whispered, "That's right. If she were truly well, she wouldn't be lying down in the woodshed. She might as well starve to death at noon! She doesn't realize I'm doing this for her own good!"

Xu Wanrong stood by without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Xu, who was watching the show in the main room, saw the mother and daughter fighting each other and burst out laughing.

Ding Hui glanced at Old Lady Xu. She didn't like Old Lady Xu, just as Old Lady Xu didn't like her.

Xu Roujun didn't go, so Xu Wanrong and Ding Hui went to the mahjong team to play mahjong.

After Xu Wanrong and Ding Hui left, Xu Roujun sat up from the straw bed and looked outside.

The rain was a little lighter, and Old Mrs. Xu came out of her house, took out an oil-paper umbrella, and walked towards her. Xu Roujun immediately lay back in her grass nest.

Fortunately, Old Mrs. Xu did not come to see Xu Roujun, but knocked on the door of Jiang Rushi next door.

Jiang Rushi opened the door.

"What happened to grandma?"

Old Lady Xu said to Jiang Rushi, "I'm going to help out in the brigade cafeteria today. There's some bread here. Do you want some?"

Jiang Rushi: "Yes."

"Okay, I'll go over there and bring you one or two."

Jiang Rushi said a few words of thanks, and then Old Lady Xu asked Jiang Rushi to go back to her room and not get caught in the cold wind.

As soon as Old Lady Xu left, Old Second Xu came out and went into Jiang Rushi's room.

As soon as she reached the door, Jiang Rushi glanced at Xu Roujun's woodshed and said, "Did you hear the quarrel between Xu Roujun and her mother this morning?"

Xu Lao Er said, "I heard it."

Jiang Rushi continued, "Your daughter might be better now. You should come back when she's not at home."

Xu Lao Er forced his way into the room. "If she could speak, she would have told others long ago."

Jiang Rushi was held by Xu Laoer.

The door closed and there was a chaotic sound in the room.

Xu Roujun: “…” I might as well go to the brigade to play mahjong in the heavy rain!

Xu Roujun still raised her head and rubbed her aching head.

After rubbing her head, Xu Roujun began to rub her legs.

This leg could only touch the ground lightly. If too much force was applied, Xu Roujun had reason to suspect it would break again.

After massaging her legs and head, Xu Roujun's head was covered with fine beads of sweat.

How can this hurt so much!

"call……"

Xu Roujun prayed silently in her heart. She glanced at her hands, stroking her palms and the strong muscles in her upper arms.

Maybe she's been too slow with her leg work and she really needs to consider a handstand.

For example, running in a handstand or hurdling on one leg.

Rather than waiting for this broken leg to recover, it's better to strengthen the muscles in other areas first. The sooner you escape, the better.

Thinking of this, Xu Roujun immediately got down from her straw nest and took seven or eight bricks outside the house to wash them with rainwater.

The sound of cleaning in the yard quickly attracted Xu Laoer's attention.

Xu Lao Er saw Xu Roujun washing her head by the well, turned around and said to Jiang Rushi, "I'm telling you, she's a fool. How could she possibly tell anyone outside?"

After hearing this, Jiang Rushi felt relieved.

Xu Laoer and Jiang Rushi watched Xu Roujun clean the bricks and bring them all back to her thatched nest.

Two people: "..." What a fool, he washed the bricks so clean, and limped over and carried them into the woodshed one by one on a stool.

After Xu Roujun entered the woodshed, she piled up a few bricks in the corner and sat down on them, resting her heels on a stool a little further away. She then placed her crippled leg on top of them.

Then I just sat there in a daze.

Seeing this, Xu Laoer seemed really stupid. Xu Laoer said, "I was wondering how she could be normal."

"Then I saw her quarreling with Ding Hui this morning." Jiang Rushi repeated what she said in the morning to Old Lady Xu.

Xu Lao Er smiled and said, "That was also Ding Hui's fault. Her daughter will hate her forever. What does it have to do with us?"

When Jiang Rushi heard this, she felt that what Xu Laoer said made sense.

The two of them quickly returned to the house and continued their harmonious life.
