Chapter 14 Quarrel
Mother Liu stared straight at her parents-in-law who were sitting under the eaves of the main house, wanting to see what they would say.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Mother Liu could only cough lightly and said, "Second brother's family, your father and I also feel sorry for the second brother, but you also know the situation at home. Although your eldest sister-in-law's words are unpleasant to hear, they are indeed the actual situation."
When Liu's mother heard this, she was furious: "Mom, what do you mean by this?"
Ge Xiulan was afraid that her mother-in-law would regret it for the sake of face: "What can mom mean? You can't just ignore the life and death of the younger generation in the family for the sake of the second child, right?"
Liu Chunxiao, who had been hiding at the door, couldn't bear to see her mother being bullied: "Aunt, you're saying too much. Isn't my father a member of this family? Why did he get hurt? Wasn't it for the family? How can it be regarded as not caring about the life and death of the younger generation? Then can I understand that my family doesn't care about my father's life and death now?"
Ge Xiulan glared at Liu Chunxiao: "The adults are talking, how dare you, a little girl, butt in on the conversation?"
Mother Liu pulled the little girl aside and took a few steps forward without paying attention to the expression of her eldest sister-in-law Ge Xiulan. She asked, "Dad, what do you say?"
Old Man Liu was filling his pipe with dry tobacco, knowing that he could not escape, and sighed softly: "Old Second's family, it's not that we don't want to treat Old Second, we told you this morning that if Dongzi misses this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity again."
This time, Liu's mother completely exploded: "You mean you don't care about my man anymore, right?"
Old Man Liu pressed the dry tobacco in his pipe and was about to speak when Old Lady Liu interrupted him: "Speaking of which, this matter is also the fault of Old Second. Why did he go there before work time?"
Mother Liu couldn't hold it in any longer, and she cried out in anger, "You were the ones who insisted on him going to the construction site, how dare you say this now? Why did he go there early? Wasn't it because he wanted to do more work and get wages to support the family?
Could it be that I am wrong?"
The eldest brother of the Liu family, who had been silent, said, "Second brother, how do you talk to your elders?"
Mother Liu didn't want to waste time talking to them anymore: "Let me ask you one more question, will my family treat my husband's leg?"
Old Man Liu struck a match and lit his pipe, a look of displeasure flashing across his face. “Just like I said before, the family can only give you thirty yuan at most. After all, the future of the Liu family still depends on Dongzi and the others.”
These words really hurt their hearts. They were a disguised reminder to them that the second branch of the family had no sons and that they would have to rely on their nephew in the future.
The atmosphere here was tense, and the Liu Chuxue sisters had already visited several families. The only theme was to borrow money. They also said that they would say hello to everyone first, and then her mother would come to visit in person.
After all, it is impossible for each family to give money directly to the sisters.
The reason for doing this is, first, if Ge Xiulan dares to use dirty tricks to frame herself tomorrow, these people will be witnesses and can directly slap her in the face; second, if she wants others to help her, she naturally has to adopt a begging attitude.
Telling everyone in advance can help people be mentally prepared. After all, every family is not rich now, and borrowing money from outside is the top priority for the family.
After the two sisters visited the families that they usually got along well with, they walked to the agreed place: "Chuxue, what if it is really as you guessed, and we really have to go to the stage of separation?"
Xia Qiu still held on to traditional old ideas. He was afraid that the villagers would poke holes in the spine of their second family, and his face was full of worry.
