Manman suddenly felt a little panicked. Was Mom going to divorce Dad and no longer be with her sister?
Although my mother was weak and incompetent, she always let my grandmother bully us.
But deep down, there is still a little bit of willingness in my heart, just a tiny bit, to live with my mother. Because I don’t want to be like Tiezhu next door, who is surrounded by other kids and scolded as a motherless bastard.
No matter how smart and precocious Manman was, 껩 was only a four-year-old child, and his eyes instantly turned red.
The little guy clenched his teeth tightly, afraid of making any sound, and his mother was even more worried about him.
"What? You are simply rebelling against the Heavenly Gang. How dare you report it?" Tian Cuifen was so angry that she pushed Aunt Zhu away and rushed forward with her arms raised high.
Jiang Ningning was quick to move the two children behind her and raised her arms to block the attack.
The slap came down hard, and the pain made her cry.
This body is far more delicate than Jiang Ningning had imagined.
The two kids were dumbfounded.
Mom...she actually protected us just now!
His amber pupils were filled with anger as he glared at the grandmother opposite him.
Tian Cuifen got angry when she saw that look and cursed: "What are you looking at, little bastard? You are just imitating your mother's unfilial behavior. It is only natural for the eldest son to use his allowance to honor his parents. Even if you sue him in the capital, you are not wrong."
Jiang Ningning endured the pain and deliberately showed an embarrassed expression: "Donglin wrote to me last month saying that the organization is checking the details of family subsidies. Do you think it's time to compare the food coupons from the previous year?"
Tian Cuifen was completely speechless.
"Oh, as I get older, my memory isn't so good." She stepped back with a pale face, but stumbled and fell to the ground.
It turned out that a circle of glass beads had rolled on the ground at some point.
The neighbors burst into laughter.
"People are all made of flesh and blood. You are such a dark old woman. You always use your eldest son's money to subsidize your youngest son. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"That year, Ningning was kicked out by the Huo family before she even finished her confinement. On New Year's Eve, there was not even a coal briquettes in the house, and the twins had a high fever that night. Ningning ran to the hospital holding one in each hand. Her parents were still there. Do you, the Huo family, still dare to be so arrogant?"
"You are not welcome in the textile factory's family quarters. Get out of here now. If you don't leave, we will call the police."
Bang!
A dustpan hit Tian Cuifen in the face, coal dust splashed all over her face, and she almost died from coughing.
Aunt Zhu raised her arms and shouted, "Let's drive this greedy old woman out together."
Upon hearing this, everyone picked up their weapons and scared Tian Cuifen so much that she ran away, not even daring to pick up the bamboo basket that had fallen.
"Bah!" Aunt Zhu spat on the ground, "Don't let anyone around see you again. I'll pay you back if I see you again."
The voice ran faster.
The twins looked at Aunt Zhu with sparkling eyes and full of admiration. It turned out that their grandmother would be afraid and run away.
"Grandma Zhu is amazing."
"Grandma Zhu can drive away the evil grandma. She's more powerful than Dad."
In the hearts of the two glutinous rice balls, their father, whom their mother has never met, is a great hero who defends their country.
At this moment, Grandma Zhu's image is equally tall and glorious.
The two little ones flattered each other, and Aunt Zhu puffed out her chest proudly, passing on her experience: "When dealing with bad guys, 놚 is stronger than 놛."
Xia Xia and Man Man nodded.
His cute and serious look makes all the neighbors adorable.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household is stocking up. He grabbed a handful of candies and melon seeds and stuffed the two little ones' pockets full.
Manman shook his head and refused like a little adult: "Mom said that uncles and aunts have a hard time these days, we can't just ask for it for free."
Xia Xia covered her pockets with her hands and frowned in distress: "No more, Grandma Wang and Aunt Liu really don't want to be together anymore."
Jiang Ningning couldn't help laughing. The original owner made her children suffer materially, but she taught her two little kids very well in terms of character.
She quickly held the two children in her arms, bowed deeply to everyone, and then said, "I appreciate everyone's kindness. This time, it's all thanks to you, otherwise mother-in-law would not give up so easily."
The little ones' ears turned red and they moved involuntarily.
As far as I can remember, my mother has been in tears all the time. She rarely hugged us, and later she even disliked the smell of us.
Thinking of this, Manman clenched his fists and his heart hardened.
"Ningning, for the sake of your two children, you have to stand on your own feet in the future." Aunt Zhu taught her earnestly, "Neighbors are always outsiders. When they can't take care of you, it's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help. Your man's allowance is tight, so spend it on yourself and your children first."
No matter how much more there is, as an outsider, Aunt Zhu can't say anything more.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhu." Jiang Ningning bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. "After this, I have become more open-minded. Raising two children is more important than anything else."
When changes are made in the future, they can be attributed to "letting go".
Jiang Ningning finally "woke up", and in an instant the neighbors looked at her with kind eyes again.
Aunt Zhu picked up the bamboo basket on the ground, lifted the curtain and glanced inside. Her eyebrows immediately raised: "You three mother and son will have a good New Year."
Jiang Ningning reached out to take it, but her hand suddenly sank and the bamboo basket fell to the ground.
In the basket, there was a piece of pork belly weighing less than a pound and two potatoes the size of fists.
The two kids and the neighbors were used to her fragility.
In the end, I picked up the bags with both hands full. I was a little hungry, but I walked home steadily.
Jiang Ningning's cheeks turned red and she covered her face with her hands. She was not even as good as a four-year-old baby.
At this time, the sleeves were gently shaken twice.
Jiang Ningning moved two fingers away and found that Xia Xia was trying to pull her into the house. Her little face was serious and stern, and her cheeks were puffed up, making people want to pinch them.
In fact, she did reach out her hand, but the little guy suddenly turned his head away in fright and looked at her warily.
Jiang Ningning thought about what the original owner had done and temporarily gave up the idea of getting close to the little girl. She let her walk home while pulling her sleeve in disgust.
The wooden door closed, blocking the curious eyes outside, and the little hand pulling at the sleeve decisively let go.
Xia Xia ran quickly to her brother.
The brother and sister looked at the pork belly in the bamboo basket and swallowed their saliva.
"Manman, I want to eat meat." Xia Xia couldn't remember when was the last time she ate meat.
As I was greedy, my stomach started to rumble.
That delicate little face suddenly turned red.
Manman also craves meat, but the problem is that he doesn't know how to cook. He can only boil potatoes and roast sweet potatoes.
His eyebrows were twisted so tightly that they looked like knots. "Forget it, never mind. Just boil it in water."
The bamboo basket was suddenly lifted into the air.
It’s mom!
The two little girls couldn't stop feeling disappointed, and their chests ached. Why didn't their mother change? Was she still going to use this piece of meat to "honor" their grandparents?
She stood on tiptoe and grabbed the basket angrily: "Comrade Jiang, Grandma Zhu said that we can eat this piece of meat."
Xia Xia nodded and cried.
It was as if Jiang Ningning was some kind of villain who bullied children!
