Chapter 17 Returning Home



Old Man Qu is now bowing to his son and daughter-in-law, not for the sake of his son's family at all.

But——

There is a shortage of labor at home!

Speaking of which, the Qu family has quite a lot of members.

Not to mention the four brothers Qu Songsheng.

There are a dozen or so younger men and women, the oldest of whom are in their twenties and about to get married.

Logically speaking, there is no need to worry about people working at home.

However, the eldest son Baosheng is the village party secretary. He runs around the village and the township all year round and doesn't care about family affairs at all.

My eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Xiulian, suffered a heart attack in the past two years and has to be careful even when breathing.

She stayed in the room all day long, never coming out, and no one dared to make her work.

The couple had five children. The eldest daughter was married, but the two eldest sons were able to do farm work.

But the two younger daughters are only in their teens, and one of them has bad legs and feet, having suffered polio and is now disabled.

None of the girls in the eldest wife's house could do the housework that women were required to do during festivals and holidays.

The second son, Qu Caisheng, is a notorious gangster in the village who never comes home.

He loves eating and gambling, and whenever he has some money he goes to a restaurant and plays cards.

What is home?

He won't think of coming back until he has lost everything.

Although the second daughter-in-law Wang Guilan has many problems, she is able to endure hardships and work hard.

I managed to live a normal life with my two sons and two daughters.

But now the eldest son has gone to the army and the eldest daughter is married.

The remaining son and daughter were still young, and she fell down with a leg injury.

There are no capable people working in the second house.

As for the third wife Qu Fusheng's family, the couple are not at home all year round.

Two elementary school students, Qu Huihui and Qu Chengcheng, were left behind as left-behind children.

Forget about working, the brother and sister ate with Old Mrs. Qu.

Even taking care of myself has become a problem.

Before the family split up, Qu Songsheng and his two nephews from the eldest wife worked in the fields together.

Plus, Wang Guilan is also a strong laborer.

With the help of Old Man Qu and a few other half-grown children, they were able to hold on.

With Mrs. Qu and Lin Wanxia at home, there is no need to worry about not having enough things to do.

Now, Wang Guilan lies on the bed and cannot do any work but needs someone to take care of her.

Old Mrs. Qu was exhausted raising Qu Yingying.

Where is the energy to work?

We must get Qu Songsheng and Lin Wanxia back to take the lead!

【Dad, Mom, you can't go back now. 】

[I go back to work, and if I don't do my job well, I'll be blamed.]

[It's a thankless job! ]

Qu Songsheng heard his daughter's voice.

The daughter was doing this for his own good, fearing that he would have to go back and work as a laborer.

But he is still a member of the Qu family, and some things cannot be avoided.

Moreover, his family has allocated him a new house, which should be his property, why doesn’t he take it?

Besides, the matter of the twins has not been clarified yet.

It's a good opportunity to make things clear when I go back home for the New Year when there are many relatives visiting.

Thinking of this, Qu Songsheng said, "Wanxia, ​​let's pack up and go back."

【dad--】

Qu Manman looked helpless.

Who told her that she was just a little baby now, unable to speak, and could only stare in anger.

The considerate Lin Wanxia said nothing and packed up her things silently.

Yu looked at her daughter and burst into tears with heartache.

Lin Hongxian stood aside and watched silently.

Although the old couple were reluctant, they did not stop it at all.

Such is the custom in the country.

A married daughter should not spend the New Year at her parents' home.

There wasn't any big contradiction.

The father-in-law with the highest status in the husband's family will come to pick her up personally, otherwise her parents will not let her go back.

That means my mother's family is rude and doesn't know what's good for them.

"Songsheng, go back and take good care of Wanxia. She just came out of confinement and is still very weak."

Watching his daughter and son-in-law leave, Lin Hongxian finally gave them some instructions.

"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Wanxia and Manman."

Qu Songsheng looked at his kind and generous father-in-law and remembered what Qu Manman had said.

Although he hasn't met the other party's nephew Lin Shaoli in the past few days.

I know that as a son-in-law, it feels a bit strange to suddenly speak ill of my father-in-law's nephew.

Still, he couldn't help but remind her, "Dad, Shao Li has a distorted outlook on life and acts impulsively. If you meet him next time, try to stay away from him."

"Yeah?"

Lin Hongxian looked at Qu Songsheng in surprise.

He actually knew that his nephew had bad intentions, but this was the first time someone mentioned it to him in person.

Looking into Qu Songsheng's sincere eyes, she could see that he really cared about her.

Lin Hongxian smiled and replied, "I'll pay attention."

He signaled them that they could leave.

The couple held Qu Manman in their arms and had not taken a few steps.

Someone came up breathlessly: "Aunt, uncle, wait a moment."

It turned out to be Jiang Doudou, who was chasing after him with his short legs.

Then the little guy, with great effort, raised a small cloth bag high and handed it to Lin Wanxia: "Auntie, these are the chestnuts my mom fried. They are delicious. Give them to my sister."

Lin Wanxia was immediately amused by him.

She touched the top of Jiang Doudou's head and said, "Doudou is really nice, but my sister is still young and can't eat this."

Jiang Doudou: "My mom said my sister needs milk. If you eat the chestnuts, it's like my sister has eaten them."

Uh, you know all this!

Lin Wanxia was stunned.

Qu Manman was already babbling in her arms, thinking, "Mom, please take it. It's just a few pounds of chestnuts, not expensive."

[Look, Jiang Doudou is struggling to lift it and is almost sweating.]

[He is so cute, we have to accept this kind gesture.]
