Chapter 3: Rectification, starting with my son

Jiang Xiangnan's eyes widened in shock. He couldn't believe what he heard and insisted that he had misheard.

Apart from my younger brother, my mother loves him the most. On weekdays, he can order his sister-in-law, younger sister and even older brother around, not to mention ordering his elder sister-in-law around. At most, my mother would scold him verbally, but she never did anything serious.

Yes, I guess it’s the same now.

He yelled: "Mom, I..."

"The eggs are in the wicker basket in the corner behind the door. Take two, no, take five, and make them into poached eggs. Your sister-in-law is still in confinement, so give her two.

Your niece is still sick, give her one.

Serve the remaining two for mother." Shen Qing gave clear instructions.

I originally wanted to make egg custard or egg drop soup, but both of these can be skimped on, and I don’t know how much will go into my mouth. The poached eggs are very clear, so there is no need to worry about skimping on them.

At present, Huo Bing has given birth to a baby less than ten days ago. She cooks a lot but eats little and poorly on weekdays. In addition, giving birth consumes energy and blood. If she does not replenish it well, it will be difficult for her to survive the flood even if they flee together.

This is especially true for Xiaohua, a little three-year-old girl, as thin as a bean sprout. If she were in China, she would be pampered and raised in the palm of her hand, with milk, fruits, biscuits and candies every day. When she is sick, her parents, grandparents would be eager to take care of her.

But in the Jiang family, when she was sick, her grandmother was reluctant to spend money to buy medicine for her and wanted to abandon her, and her foolishly filial father actually agreed, and her uncles didn't say a word.

Eat it. One egg cannot destroy the family. Even if the family collapses, it is the fault of the useless adults, not the children.

After Shen Qing finished speaking, the room was so quiet that only the sound of gasps could be heard.

Everyone's eyes widened unconsciously, their mouths slightly opened, and they looked at Shen Qing in shock.

Mom, why do things feel different after I woke up?

Those eggs can be exchanged for salt and other goods. They are so precious. On weekdays, only the younger brother who goes to school at the academy can have one for dinner when he comes back. The other sons can only eat one occasionally. The eldest sister-in-law Xiaohua and the younger sister can't even drink the soup, let alone eat it!

It’s understandable that my mother gave me two eggs to eat, but why would she give eggs to Huo Bing and Xiaohua?

Shen Qing's mind worked quickly, and he had already thought of an excuse for himself.

She originally wanted to use her dead husband's dream to appear in her mind, but she quickly gave up.

Jiang's father was not a very good person when he was alive. He just had a good reputation, but that was because he let the original owner take the lead and be the villain, and he gained the good reputation later.

Could someone who wasn't a good person in life have a change of heart after death and appear in her dreams to ask her to be good to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it!

That leaves the other one: "Mom had a very long and very real dream. In the dream, I received guidance from the Bodhisattva. I can't go into details, but in a nutshell, if you want to prosper, you must treat everything the same. Otherwise, there will be great disasters in the future, and no one in our family will end up well!"

From ancient times till now, gods and Buddhas as well as dreams have always been given special attention, not to mention these two things together;

And she was not wrong. The original owner treated everyone differently, which disturbed the peace of the family. No one ended up well, and not one person in the whole family had a good ending.

As the eldest son in the family, Jiang Xiangdong obeyed his mother's orders, believing in and carrying out everything she said, no matter good or bad. When he heard Shen Qing's words, his first reaction was to agree: "Mom is really a lucky person! Even the Bodhisattva has sent you a dream! Okay, let's do whatever Mom says."

Jiang Xiangnan opened his mouth, wanting to refute but felt that it would be disrespectful to the gods, so he silently swallowed the words he wanted to ask.

Jiang Xiangbei didn't care much about this. He glanced outside the house from time to time with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Jiang Shui wanted to eat the eggs, but her mother couldn't compete with her, and Xiao Hua couldn't compete with her either. She looked up at her sister-in-law, then thought of Xiao Cao, who was only a few days old in the house, and said, "Mom, I'll watch over Third Brother. Don't waste the eggs."

Shen Qing nodded and waved her hand to signal the two to quickly make poached eggs - she was really hungry, and the corn porridge had no oil and little salt and was irritating to her throat, so she really didn't want to drink it.

After Huo Bing gave the corn porridge to his mother-in-law, he felt uncomfortable with his empty hands, and now even his heart was filled with discomfort.

She didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She looked down and saw her eldest daughter looking at her eagerly. She asked in a low voice, "Mother, can Huahua really eat eggs? Are eggs really delicious?"

Huo Bing could no longer hold back the tears that she had been trying to hold back.

She wiped away her tears, choked up and whispered, "It's delicious. Mom will give you another one later."

She had two, and her mother-in-law actually gave her two...

Xiaohua shook her little head and replied seriously, "No, Mom wants to feed my sister. Mom will eat it. I can't eat too much. My aunt and I will share it."

Jiang Shui, who was walking at the end, felt warmer and sweeter than eating an egg when he heard the words in a baby voice.

Shen Qing looked at the scene in front of him and thought it was pretty good.

If these eggs were given to their own sons, they would just take it for granted. They were sons, so they should eat well, not cook, wash clothes, or clean, and not tend to the vegetable garden. During the busy farming season, they had to rush to harvest and plant in the fields, and as members of the family, Huo Bing and Jiang Shui had to do the work as well. After all, food was the most important thing.

Since women also do farm work, other chores during the slack season naturally have to be shared, especially food.

Thinking of something, Shen Qing shouted to the outside of the door: "Boss, come back."

Jiang Xiangdong quickly turned around and ran back, smiling broadly, and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Shen Qing pointed at Xiaohua.

Huo Bingxin brought it up immediately, remembering that her mother-in-law had not yet said anything about not throwing away the flowers and grass!

When her mother-in-law woke up, she looked different and even gave them fried eggs. She instinctively thought that her mother-in-law would not throw away the flowers and grass, but after all, her mother-in-law had not yet said that she would not throw them away.

She hugged her eldest daughter tightly, her heart in her throat.

"Your daughter is sick, why don't you ask a doctor to see her?" Shen Qing said unhappily.

Filial piety is a good thing, but children cannot withhold money to show filial piety to their parents and harm the interests of other relatives. That is foolish filial piety!

Jiang Xiangdong didn't expect that it was for Xiaohua. He looked at his eldest daughter, who was wearing tattered clothes full of patches, and her skinny and pale face was abnormally red. He was stunned for a moment, and a strange sour emotion surged up in his heart.
