"Xiu Li, why are you moving the ladder?"

Yao Xiuli said without turning her head, "Brother-in-law, I need to go up to the roof to hang up the cowpeas."

Chu Tian said "Oh", parked his bicycle, walked forward and took the ladder from Yao Xiuli. After putting the ladder away, he lifted the basket of blanched beans on the ground to the roof. At this time, Yao Xiuli also took a clean straw mat and went up to the roof.

"Brother-in-law, I'll make the bed. You can go back to the room and rest for a while."

Chu Tian didn't fight with her. He nodded and came down from the roof. As soon as he returned to the main room, he saw Old Mrs. Chu walking in with a bowl of boiled water.

"My dear grandson, drink some water."

Chu Tian took the bowl, drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile, "Thank you, grandma."

Mrs. Chu smiled and sat opposite Chu Tian. "My dear grandson, what have you and your brother Jie been doing?"

"Ah, nothing, it's just...that's how it is."

It was not something to be kept secret, so Chu Tian did not hide it when Old Lady Chu asked.

Mrs. Chu was surprised. "So, your brother Jie has a job?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "I think so. We went to the coal mine and they said we can let Brother Jie try it tomorrow. If he likes it, he can stay."

After a pause, he continued, "But I think Brother Jie can definitely stay."

Mrs. Chu was pleasantly surprised. "Oh, that's great."

"There's another person working in our Chu family. Now we have two working people."

Chu Tian reminded him when he heard this, "Grandma, there are three of them, and there's also Chu Wen!"

When Chu Tian mentioned Chu Wen, his face changed instantly and he said unhappily, "Why mention that jerk?"

"A guy who doesn't care about his own mother, even if he's a teacher, is a teacher with a rotten foundation! Anyway, our child will go to school in the regiment in the future, and he must not be allowed to teach!"

Chu Tian, ​​"..."

This Chu Wen is really amazing. After they had a complete falling out, he never came back and even stopped giving her monthly living expenses. Well, if he doesn't want to give her anything, then so be it. Anyway, Liu Zhaodi is able to move now and is earning work points every day, so Chu Jun didn't care.

But when Chu Jun's second wife heard Liu Zhaodi constantly praising Chu Wen and his wife in front of her wife, saying that they were the best and that their remaining sons and daughters-in-law could not compare to them, Chu Jun's second wife did not react much. But Chu Jun became unhappy instantly and started arguing with Liu Zhaodi on the spot. In the end, Chu Jun was very angry.

That night, when Chu Tian was not at home, he and Chu Min dragged Liu Zhaodi to Chu Wen's house and told Chu Wen that if he did not give her living expenses, he would support Liu Zhaodi, and the three of them would give him food and living expenses every month.

Asking Chu Wen and his wife to support Liu Zhaodi? How could that be possible! In the end, they didn't even let her in. They just threw away a few months' living expenses and kicked Chu Jun and Chu Min out!

It can be said that Chu Jun has stood up a little since his second marriage. In the end, he slammed the door of Chu Wen's house and shouted, saying that if Liu Zhaodi did not give her living expenses on time in the future, don't blame him for making trouble at school. He will not give up until Chu Wen is fired!

Mrs. Chu was in a bad mood and spoke rather harshly, "I don't know what that damn woman is thinking. She doesn't love a good child, but loves that heartless ungrateful bastard."

Chu Tian comforted her, "Grandma, don't be angry. She will regret it later!"

Old Madam Chu snorted coldly, "Regret? I don't think she will regret it!"

After a pause, in a flash, Old Mrs. Chu seemed to have thought of something. She looked outside and saw that Yao Xiuli had already come down from the roof. She and Yao Xiujuan were still in the vegetable garden. After thinking about it, she moved closer to Chu Tian, ​​who was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"My dear grandson, tell me, is Chu Wen not your father's child?"

Chu Tian was shocked, "Grandma, you, why did you say that?"

Old Madam Chu frowned, "Because I always feel something is wrong. Look, in three or four generations of our family, there hasn't been a child as selfish as Chu Wen. And, look, although your eldest brother and your second brother don't look as much like your father as you do, they both have some resemblance to your father. But you see, Chu Wen doesn't look like your father at all!"

The more she talked, the more Mrs. Chu felt something was wrong. "You three brothers all have high noses, but he has a flat nose. You can say Liu Zhaodi also has a flat nose, but Liu Zhaodi doesn't have a flat nose!"

"Also, although Chu Wen looks like Liu Zhaodi, his forehead doesn't look like your father's, let alone Liu Zhaodi's!"

"besides·····"

Listening to what Old Lady Chu said, Chu Tian's heart was filled with shock and he was unable to recover for a long time. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Grandma, there is no evidence for this. You, you can't say this outside."

Old Madam Chu looked at the nervous Chu Tian, ​​reached out and patted his hand, and said with a smile, "Grandma knows that it is wrong to wrongly accuse someone for no reason."

After a pause, Mrs. Chu continued, "But, grandma still feels something is wrong."

Chu Tian's eyebrows trembled slightly, "Where else?"

Old Madam Chu pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then spoke again, "I remember that a month before your mother became pregnant with your third brother, your father stayed with her for just one night and then passed away. So, is your father really that amazing? He could hit the target with one strike?"

“·····”

Chu Tian looked at Old Mrs. Chu speechlessly and thought to himself, Grandma, is it really appropriate for you, an elder, to talk to me about driving?

Mrs. Chu felt something was wrong. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "No, I need to talk to your uncle and second uncle."

Without waiting for Chu Tian to react, the old lady moved her short legs very quickly and ran out of the yard in a short while.

Yao Xiujuan came in with a few eggplants and looked at Chu Tian sitting on the chair with a confused expression. She asked curiously, "Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong with you?"

Chu Tian uttered an "ah" and said "nothing". He then looked down and saw a few small eggplants she had placed on the table. He asked curiously, "Xiujuan, why did you pick such small eggplants?"

Yao Xiujuan pursed her lips and smiled, "They're too crowded. If I don't pick a few off, they won't grow well..."

"Xinxin always says that we only eat the same few dishes at home every day, and we're tired of them. I'm planning to have Xiuli stir-fry these eggplants tonight."

Chu Tian said "Oh" and looked over to see Yao Xiuli still in the vegetable garden. "What is Xiuli still doing in the vegetable garden?"

Yao Xiujuan also looked back and said, "She saw that some of the pumpkin flowers were male, so she wanted to pick some to make soup in the evening."

Chu Tian nodded.

Seeing that Chu Tian stopped asking questions, Yao Xiujuan sat down and asked in confusion, "I just saw grandma run out angrily, what happened?"

Because this was just speculation, Chu Tian didn't say anything. He just said lightly, "Oh, nothing. Grandma has something to do with uncle and second uncle."
