Looking at the familiar cotton-padded jacket, Wei Xiu asked hesitantly, "Mom, isn't this...my sister-in-law's clothes? Did she ask you to get it?"
"Don't worry about it, just put on your clothes first," Wei's mother helped her daughter put on her clothes without saying a word.
Looking at Wei Xiu's lips that had turned pale from the cold, and the cracks on his hands, Ye Han couldn't help but shake his head.
This mother and daughter are weaker than the other. No wonder they are bullied by their two daughters-in-law.
"Mom, who are they?" Wei Xiu looked at Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang with confusion in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Wei's mother introduced Jiang Wang and Ye Xuanhan to her daughter.
"It turns out that Brother Jiang is my third brother's leader," Wei Xiu murmured.
The sacrifice of her third brother is an unspeakable pain in her and her mother's hearts.
It has been more than two months since her third brother passed away, but Wei Xiu still often dreams of him and dreams that her brother brings her her favorite roasted sweet potatoes.
...
...
Wei Xiu's tears burst out instantly.
Seeing this, Wei's mother couldn't help but feel jealous.
Ye Han sighed, "Xiu Xiu, Aunt Wei, let's go to the town. Jiang Wang and I will take you to eat something delicious."
Wei Xiu opened her eyes wide and shook her head, "No, I still have to go to work."
"Take a day off, Xiuxiu," said Wei's mother, "It won't be a problem."
Wei Xiu seemed to have thought of something, shrank his shoulders and hesitated a little, but when he heard his mother asking him to take a leave, he nodded hesitantly.
Wei Xiu asked the team leader for half a day off, and the four of them went to the state-owned restaurant in the town.
Ye Xuanhan didn't know what Wei's mother and Wei Xiu liked to eat, so he asked them to order. However, the two seemed a little restrained and were afraid of wasting money. After looking for a long time, they ordered a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
Ye Xuanhan was a little helpless, so he picked six meat dishes and four bowls of white rice.
The four of them sat down and started eating.
"Aunt Wei, Xiuxiu, have you always lived like this today?" Ye Han couldn't help but ask.
Wei Xiu was a little girl who looked very fair and clean. It seemed that she had never suffered any hardship before.
Hearing this, Wei Xiu said, "After my third brother died, our family became like this."
Before, her third brother supported her and her mother, so her two sisters-in-law didn't dare to do anything to her and her mother.
They were thinking about the allowance from their third brother, so on the surface they were still respectful to their mother, at least they maintained a superficial harmony.
After my third brother died, the organization gave him a large sum of pension, which all went into the pockets of my two sisters-in-law.
But they are still not satisfied with this and are worried about their jobs.
The two sisters-in-law argued endlessly about this and both wanted to be teachers in the commune primary school.
In the end, the second sister-in-law won the argument, and because she was more knowledgeable than the eldest sister-in-law, she took my place as the teacher.
The eldest sister-in-law was so angry that she simply stopped going to work. She just ate and drank at home every day, leaving herself and her mother to work in the fields to earn work points.
The eldest and second brothers are both afraid of their wives. No matter how hard I try, they can't do anything. They just let their wives bully me.
After Wei Xiu told everything, she was already crying and out of breath, and it seemed that she had indeed suffered a lot of injustice.
Ye Xuanhan was also so angry that his teeth were itching.
I haven't seen such a fine product for a long time. It seems that it's time to make a comeback for my little hands that have nowhere to go.
After making up his mind, Ye Hanhan said, "Aunt Wei, Xiuxiu, I understand. Leave this matter to me and Jiang Wang. I promise that they will never dare to bully you in the future."
Wei Xiu raised her head, two tears still hanging on her pretty face.
"Sister Han, Brother Jiang, this..."
"Xiu Xiu, we will go to help you this afternoon," Ye Han said, "Don't worry, we promise to make sure your two sisters-in-law are well disciplined."
Wei Xiu didn't know what Ye Xuanhan wanted to do, nor did he know whether he could succeed. However, thinking that it might make his two sisters-in-law uncomfortable, he didn't stop him.
After dinner, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang took Wei's mother and Wei Xiu to the tailor shop in town and bought three sets of clothes for them from head to toe.
Ye Xuanhan helped to carry the items, while Jiang Wang just stood by and paid.
Seeing Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang spending money on herself and her mother, Wei Xiu was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Sister Han, that's enough, don't buy any more. My mother and I already have enough clothes to wear."
"Xiu Xiu, don't worry about it," Ye Han said, "When I went there this morning, I saw your mother wearing only a single layer of clothing and shivering from the cold. Can you bear to see her like this in the future?"
Wei Xiu had no money, so when he heard Ye Han’s words, he stopped trying to stop him.
After buying clothes, Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang took them to buy some food.
Finally, they couldn't carry it anymore, so they hired an ox cart on the roadside to take them back to Wei's house.
It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon. The eldest daughter-in-law Chen Lihua and the second daughter-in-law Zhao Shuilian were arguing over trivial matters. Their respective men were holding them back and they couldn't be pulled apart.
Hearing some noise outside the door, Chen Lihua and Zhao Shuilian separated.
Chen Lihua guessed that Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang had brought people back, so she immediately stood up, straightened her clothes, and ran out to open the door.
When she went out, Chen Lihua's eyes widened when she saw the ox cart full of things.
So he enthusiastically helped carry things.
Wei Xiu couldn't stand her sister-in-law, so she didn't say anything and just walked around her and took her things and left.
Chen Lihua lost face and a gloomy look flashed in her eyes.
Ye Hanhan shouted to Chen Lihua: "Sister-in-law, are the others at home back?"
"I'm back, I'm back," Chen Lihua forced a smile, "Come in quickly, we're all waiting for you."
Chen Lihua deliberately kept it a secret and did not tell Jiang Laoer and his wife about Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang's identities.
He just wanted the second son's wife Jiang Shuilian to be disrespectful in front of Ye Hanhan and Jiang Wang, or even better, to have a quarrel with them.
Maybe Ye Xuanhan and Jiang Wang would give all the money to him because they were angry.
Thinking of this, Chen Lihua could no longer hide the smile on her face.
Zhao Shuilian, who realized it later, walked out and saw Wei's mother and Wei Xiu going in and out, moving things from the ox cart.
Her expression was a little distorted, and she couldn't help but start to make sarcastic remarks, "Huh, I see, some people still have money in their hands, buying so many things, I don't know if they are lucky enough to enjoy them."
When Wei's mother and Wei Xiu heard Zhang Shuilian's mocking voice, they both paused.
Ye Han stepped forward and looked at Zhang Shuilian. "Sister-in-law, my wife and I bought these things for Aunt Wei and Xiuxiu. What do you mean by that?"
The situation was tense and Chen Lihua, who was standing aside watching the show, couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Shuilian didn't know Ye Xuanhan, and she became unhappy when she saw him defending Wei's mother and Wei Xiu.
"Who do you think you are? What does it have to do with you when I talk to my mother-in-law?"
Ye Hanhan vaguely understood that it was probably because Chen Lihua did not tell Jiang Laoer and his wife about her and Jiang Wang's identities.
