I'm going to be kicked out tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I'll even have breakfast. If I don't eat more now, am I going to walk back to the city on an empty stomach?
Seeing this, Guo Shijie silently shared his cake with his two sons. Watching them eat it voraciously, he felt mixed emotions.
He looked down at his numb legs and once again resented the cruelty of heaven.
As long as he can stand up, even if he can only walk with a limp, he will go out and find a way to make money to support his family.
But now that he has become such a disabled person, he is basically useless except adding burden to his family.
After dinner, Mrs. Ye Er and Mrs. Ye San came in to clear the table.
Old man Guo quickly stood up to help, but old lady Guo didn't even want to pretend anymore. She just lay on the kang without moving, not even lifting her eyelids.
Second Sister-in-law Ye carried the dishes out by herself, while Third Sister-in-law Ye couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Guo Shijie saw the expression on Mrs. Ye's face and felt even more upset.
Not long after dinner, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the west room.
Old Man Guo got up and opened the door, and saw that the person who came was actually Ye Laosi.
The father-in-law and son-in-law looked at each other across the door, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After hearing this, Old Man Guo felt a little comforted.
A warm feeling also surged in Guo Shijie's heart.
But before the father and son could say anything, Mrs. Guo, who was lying on the kang, suddenly said, "If you really want to help us, give us half of the fifty taels of silver you got.
"Otherwise, stop saying these hypocritical words!
"Everyone can say nice things. I can say them better than you!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lao Si's face darkened, but he held back his anger and said to Old Man Guo, "Uncle Guo, I'm leaving first. Come find me if you think of anything else!"
Old Man Guo grabbed Ye Lao Si and said, "Lao Si, Uncle Guo knows that you are a good boy.
"When Fengying got engaged to you, I said she was blessed.
"It's a pity that she doesn't live up to her expectations and doesn't cherish her good days.
"To this day, you can still say these words. Uncle Guo thanks you from the bottom of my heart!"
