"Isn't there enough coal briquettes at home?" Ma Desheng didn't expect this. Their family should have enough every month.
But his mother said that Yan Zi needs to keep warm when giving birth, so he should prepare more so that his child won't get cold.
"I'll go exchange some coal briquette tickets with my colleagues tomorrow!" Ma Desheng said this, but he also knew that no one would have many coal briquette tickets, so he had to go to the black market to find a solution.
"No need to go through so much trouble. The one next door is a transport team. They have some and they need to deliver them to other places!"
"Why don't we just go buy some? They're neighbors, so they won't charge a high price."
Seeing that her son agreed, Mrs. Ma hurriedly expressed her idea.
"Mom, those are the transport team's belongings. How can you sell them privately? That's speculation. Don't be foolish."
Ma Desheng said angrily that his mother didn't know, but he knew.
When did the transport team become so lax in management that the goods were delivered to the driver's home?
Needless to say, this must have been bought for their own use. Those drivers all have connections, and only he is stupid enough to want to take advantage of them.
"Speculation? How can this be considered so serious? Aren't there a lot of them? They can be sold elsewhere, so it's the same if they sell them to us, right?"
Seeing that her son was getting impatient, Mrs. Ma finally didn't dare to say anything.
"Don't cause me any trouble, or you can go to my brother's place. If I lose my job because of you, then you can rely on my brother from now on. I'll see if he can provide for you in your old age."
Ma Desheng no longer looked at his mother. He would find a way to buy the coal briquettes himself. If his mother offended anyone, he would not be soft-hearted.
Yan Zi watched this scene without saying a word. She knew what her mother-in-law was thinking.
He must have seen that Ningxia had coal briquettes and wanted to take advantage of them. Even if he bought them, he would never use them in the end.
She thought of what her mother-in-law said, that the room should be warm during her confinement period, otherwise what if the baby gets cold?
Her husband said he would find a way to get the coal briquettes back, and she believed him, but she was afraid that she would not be able to use them in the end.
No, Ningxia was right, she couldn't bear it any longer, she was pregnant now.
If she can't drive her mother-in-law away at this time, she will have no advantage after she gives birth to a child.
Yan Zi saw her mother-in-law enter the kitchen, and after thinking for a moment, she followed her in.
Seeing her mother-in-law cooking and thinking about the piece of meat today, she became even more angry.
"Mom, where's our meat? Didn't you say we'd cook it during the day? I know you're worried about your son. It doesn't matter if we didn't cook it during the day. Let's cook it tonight. It'll go bad if we don't eat it now."
Yan Zi looked at her mother-in-law and this time she didn't want to endure it any longer.
"What meat? Didn't you eat it this morning?" Mrs. Ma was so scared when she saw her eldest son looking at her that she broke out in a cold sweat. She spoke hurriedly, her eyes looking at Yan Zi viciously.
"Mom, I didn't eat!" Yan Zi's timid look made it clear what was going on.
"Mom, where's the meat?" Ma Desheng looked at his mother. If he guessed correctly, she had given it to his brother again, right?
In the past, his mother loved his younger brother more than him. At first, she said that he was older and he should give in to his younger brother.
When he grows up a little bit, his younger brother has a heavy burden and he wants to help him.
But he didn't get this job from his family. He got it unexpectedly because he saved the director of the steel plant.
Then their family rose to prosper, and he was the one who helped his brother find that job.
His family had emptied out all their savings for his job, and he even paid a hundred dollars. What else could they ask of him?
His mother had been living with his brother, and he gave her five dollars a month. Now she suddenly wanted to come to his place, saying she wanted to take care of Yan Zi. He didn't agree at first.
But seeing that Yan Zi's belly was getting bigger and bigger, he was worried about her being alone at home, so he agreed to keep her.
"Swallow, what about the food we had before? Tell the truth, did you eat it?" Ma Desheng looked at Swallow. The meat could be given away, and so could other things.
"I...I" Yan Zi looked hesitant. What was there that Ma Desheng didn't understand?
"This life is unbearable! My son no longer wants me after he got married!"
"I just ate a little bit and you're still nagging me. You're my child, so what's wrong with me eating a little bit of your food?"
When Mrs. Ma saw that something was wrong, she ran out the door. She was very familiar with this trick, so in the end they had no choice but to compromise.
Soon, a lot of people gathered at the door, and many of them came out to watch the show with bowls in their hands.
"Mrs. Ma, what happened?" several neighbors asked. They knew everything about the Ma family and knew that it must be the son and daughter-in-law who were unfilial again.
"This life is unbearable! I worked so hard to raise my two sons, and I don't even expect to enjoy their blessings anymore."
"Seeing my daughter-in-law was about to give birth, I came over to help, but after eating a few more bites, my daughter-in-law couldn't accommodate me anymore."
"I came back to complain. I raised this son for nothing. He's always been devoted to his wife. What's the point of me living? I might as well be dead!"
Mrs. Ma looked at these people, chattering, and roasted the Swallow couple over the fire.
Ningxia opened the door and came out. She wanted to see what Yan Zi would do this time. If she still couldn't stand up, she would stay away from her in the future.
With such a confused mother-in-law, this family will not be smooth.
She didn't want to get into trouble, so Ren Jingxiao stayed by Ningxia's side to protect her.
"Mom, you can't live anymore, right? Then I'll die with you. I don't want to live anymore anyway."
When Yan Zi came out, she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand. As she spoke, she cut her wrist, scaring Ma Desheng so much that he almost fell to his knees.
He hurried into the house with a cloth to bandage Yan Zi, but Yan Zi simply shook his hand off and let the blood remain.
The people around were also frightened when they saw Yan Zi like this, and no one dared to say anything. Mrs. Ma became nervous, and she felt that something bad was going to happen today.
"Mom, do you still want to die? I've stabbed you, it's your turn."
Yan Zi handed the knife out, but Ma Pozi didn't dare to take it. Seeing Yan Zi's crazy look, she quickly took a step back.
"I'm the eldest in my family, but I've never been favored at home. My husband is capable and didn't rely on the family to get this job. I don't dare to rest for a single day and work diligently."
"The only thing that's not going well for us is that we don't have children. Now we finally got pregnant, and you came to my house under the pretext of taking care of me."
"You hide the delicious food and give it to your youngest son, and you hide the nice clothes and give them to your youngest son."
"You're one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. I've endured it all. Who told you to be so good at acting? You act pitiful in front of everyone and then everything is our fault."
"We all deserve to die, but even if I do, I'll take you with me."
Yan Zi was very crazy, as if she was extremely depressed.
