Since the day he moved out of the Cao family compound, Cao Xiangnan has never come back here. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw the messy yard, with garbage everywhere. When they lived here before, the yard was always cleaned up by his Qi Wanfeng. Now that they are gone, I am afraid that no one will be so diligent in cleaning it up.

"Is anyone home?" Cao Xiangnan came in and saw no one, so he shouted, "Is anyone here?" There was no

one in the huge yard. When they were still in the compound, he remembered that Qi Wanfeng would usually start cooking dinner in the kitchen at this time. He glanced around the kitchen and found no one.

Seeing that no one came out, Cao Xiangnan wanted to turn around and leave with a sullen face.

Just at this time, Chen Zhu came out of the house. Seeing Si'er coming back, he smiled and asked, "Silang, you are back from the town. Is the business in the town good?" "

Auntie, what do you want to do when you go to my place today?" Cao Xiangnan did not answer his mother's question, but asked.

Chen Zhu saw that Si'er's face was not very good, and remembered that Qi Wanfeng must have said something bad to Si'er. He cursed Qi Wanfeng in his heart, but smiled at Si'er on his face, and said hypocritically, "What does it take for Aunie to go to your place?"

Cao Xiangnan looked at his mother coldly, and did not say anything, waiting for him to continue.

"It's like this, you need help with your stall, and Mom came to talk to you about this. Silang, you can ask your brothers to help you. Your eldest and second brothers are idle at home, and they can help you when they have time. After all, it's a layer of distance for you to ask outsiders, but it's better to ask your brothers to help you. After all, they are family members." Chen Zhu heard that Sun's family has paid back all the money they owed before, and Sun Ji can make so much money working for his fourth son, so this job must be good.

And Cao Dapeng's family has meat every day. You know, they haven't had any meat for a long time.

Not only have both of Cao Gang's family members gone, but their two children are also sent to his fourth son's house every day. I heard that they have never cooked at home. The neighbors said that there is no smoke coming out of their kitchen. That means the whole family eats food from his fourth son's house every meal, which is not acceptable.

Chen Zhu had found out everything, and he was calculating in his mind. He said, "Silang, from now on, you can bring your little brother here and let your mother take care of him for you. You can go to the town to work with Wanfeng. One more person means one more hand to help. You can also ask your eldest and second brothers to help. If that doesn't work, you can ask your eldest and second brothers to go together. You don't need to ask outsiders to do things as a family. The boys in your family are all grown up, and your mother has nothing to do here, so she can help you take care of the children."

"Oh, bring An An to you?" Cao Xiangnan really laughed when he heard the last part. If he remembered correctly, his aunt had never held his An An, and now she said she wanted to give him the child. He asked, "Aunt, you won't forget that the boy from my second brother's family beat my An An again today, right? An An is still running a fever."

When he thought of the child who was in good spirits when he went to the town, he hugged him and cried for a long time when he came back, saying that someone beat him. Qi Wanfeng originally didn't plan to tell him that his aunt went home today, but An An cried, so he asked about it. The two boys from Sun Bailian's family told him, and then his Wanfeng talked about what happened today.

He was furious when he heard this. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen such a shameless person. It was fine that they bullied their family of three when they lived together before, but now that they moved out as they wished, they even stepped into their home to bully others!

His mother has always loved the boys in the family. The boys are lawless at home, and they treat the boys like thorns in their eyes. He has completely forgotten that he is also a boy. Now, even if his mother asked him to take care of the children, Cao Xiangnan didn't dare to give the children to his mother. Who knows if the children will come back well after going there.

"It's not normal for these children to fight and quarrel. Whose children are not this old?" Chen Zhu was unhappy when she heard this. It's just a few little ones in the family who are fighting and quarreling. Isn't it normal for children to fight and quarrel?

"Qi Wanfeng whispered something in your ear again, didn't he? I knew he didn't have me as his mother in his heart. Do you know that I went to your house today with your elder brother, second brother and a few children, and Qi Wanfeng drove us all out. Now he is saying bad things about us in front of you." Chen Zhu blamed Qi Wanfeng for the child's incident, and said it was Qi Wanfeng's fault that the child was taught like that.

"Mom, don't even think about it. I won't send An An to you." Cao Xiangnan shook his head and looked straight at his mom. He had no feelings for this mom any longer. The last bit of feelings were destroyed by the two taels of silver. He said, "I can't let my eldest and second brothers work at my stall. That stall doesn't belong to me alone. Don't mention this in the future."

"There are many people moving goods at the dock every day. As long as the eldest and second brothers are willing, they can move goods at the dock every day. A few dozen coins a day are not a small amount." As long as people work hard, no one will starve to death.

If he lets a few of his family members go to his stall, he will have to close it sooner or later. Cao Xiangnan can't pull his two eldest brothers and this family over. This will only be a stone to drop on his feet.

"What are you talking about? You made money easily, bought a horse, ate meat every day, and asked others to do business, but you didn't care about your own brothers, and asked your own brothers to move goods at the dock. What are you talking about?" Chen Zhu's voice rose unconsciously. He could no longer maintain his previous good face and asked loudly.

"Easy?" Do you know that we get up before dawn every morning? It turned out that in the eyes of these people, he made money easily. Cao Xiangnan didn't want to continue talking to his mother. He said, "Mom, don't go to my place if you don't have anything to do in the future. You are not welcome to my place."

"I am your mother! How can you treat me like this?" Chen Zhu said sharply.

"Do you still remember that you are my mother? Ah, when you took away all my money for buying medicine, why didn't you think of me as your son? Now you keep saying that I am your son. Every tile and brick here has my money. When you drove me and Qi Wanfeng's family of three out, why didn't you think of me as your son?" Cao Xiangnan's temper also came up, and he questioned word by word.

But now here you keep saying that you are his mother. Which mother would not care about the life and death of her son and drive people out? He doesn't have such a mother who is willing to break up with him for two taels of silver. After

they quarreled like this, Wang Yan, who was sleeping in the room, also got up from the bed and stood at the door to watch his mother and fourth uncle quarreling.

Chen Li, who was sewing shoe soles in the house, also ran out. Seeing that my mother and fourth uncle were arguing, she put on a smile, walked over quickly and scolded, "Fourth uncle, how can my son say such bad things about my mother? We are all family, there is no overnight grudge."

"I'm telling you clearly here today, from now on, unless there is something important, you should not come to my place and disturb our lives. It's impossible to let the eldest and second brothers work in my stall. They have hands and feet, and they don't find things to do themselves. Are they waiting for others to support them for the rest of their lives?" He had supported such a family for so many years in the past, and it was enough. It was impossible for Cao Xiangnan to come back to support their family now. He was making it clear here.

"Fourth Uncle..." Chen Li wanted to say something, but she was angry that her mother had made her angry, and there was no room for her to be evasive.

"You unfilial son!" Chen Zhu pointed at the unfilial son, and was so angry that she couldn't breathe.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at the people in the yard, and turned around to see his father and elder brother who had come back at some point and were standing at the gate of the yard. He walked out of the gate with a sullen look on his face.

"Go away, and don't enter this door again when you go. I, Cao Ashan, will treat you as if I didn't have a son." Cao's father pointed at the door and said.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at his father, stepped out, and left without looking back.

"Ah... How could I raise such an unfilial son? Oh, God, why are you doing this to me?" Seeing Si'er walking away without looking back, Chen Zhu sat down on the ground and cried loudly.

His money, the money that he hadn't even returned...

When Chen Li, the eldest brother, saw his mother crying on the ground, she quickly reached out to pull her up, but the person lying on the ground was not someone she could pull up. Chen Li looked at her husband standing at the door and shouted, "Come and help."

"Oh, oh." The slow-witted eldest brother Cao Fugui reacted, glanced at his father with a sullen face, and quickly went over to help pull his mother up and help her back into the house.

With a hunched back, Father Cao seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He walked into the house, put the hoe in his hand at the door, took the pipe hanging from his waist, sat on a small stool, and smoked one puff after another. He could still hear crying coming from the house. He didn't know why this family had become like this.

After returning from the Cao family compound, Cao Xiangnan had a gloomy face and a breath of air was still blocked in his chest. Thinking of that family made people feel bad.

If they had been better to him and Wanfeng at the beginning, they would not be like this today. Father and son are not father and son, and brothers are not brothers. But those people should be kept away from as far as possible. He didn't want to get close to them.

When he met someone who greeted him on the road, Cao Xiangnan just nodded and walked past. He was not in the mood to deal with those people.
