The older generation in the village all lived with their eldest son in their old age, so she chose the eldest son's family without hesitation.
Even if you are wrong, you can only let it go.
If she has to fight with the second family for everything regarding her retirement in the future, her coffin has been left to the second family as compensation.
"Mom, what do you mean? Do you think she did the right thing?"
Hu Jianguo came to his mother to seek help. Now it’s different. If his mother approves of Feng Yun, then he is here to get angry.
Qi Qiu understood him at a glance. "Jianguo, you're simple-minded and easily influenced. You can't go wrong by listening to Feng Yun more. They're all your own children. How can you be kind to one over the other?"
She was old, and she had figured it out since she broke her leg last time.
If the water is not kept evenly distributed, there will never be peace in the family.
She heard about the changes in Feng Yun during this period from Ge Cuicui chatting with others. This change is a good thing.
Hu Jianguo didn't want to listen to Qi Qiumin's nagging, so he stood up with a dark face.
"Okay, if you don't stand by me, forget it. Why are you still criticizing me? I'm leaving."
Qi Qiuming waved his hand in annoyance, "Just go if you want to. You'll regret it sooner or later if you can't figure it out."
At her age, she has raised four children. Now her two daughters are the most filial. They come to see her during the holidays, speak to her in a soft voice, and bring her delicious food and drinks.
On the contrary, for so many years, she worked like a slave in the Hu family to raise her son and grandson. When her daughter-in-law was able to work, she would smile at her, but when she couldn't work, she would be sarcastic every day.
My daughter is so thoughtful.
Hu Jianguo strode out and bumped into Ge Cuicui head-on.
"Hey, second brother, how come you have time to come here? I thought you had forgotten that mom is still here."
This is a satire on his complete unfilial nature. While his mother is still alive, he comes to visit her less often.
Hu Jianguo was a little scared when he saw his sister-in-law. He really couldn't stand her mouth.
"Sister-in-law is back. I went to see mom and am going back now."
Hu Jianguo waved his hand and ran away, as if there was a wild beast chasing him.
Ge Cuicui was so angry that she cursed, "What the hell is this? Are you afraid that I will take the ten dollars? The whole family hates dogs and is shameless. They are taking advantage of my family!"
She turned around cursing and happened to meet Qi Qiu Ming's eyes on the recliner. She threw the basket in her hand to the ground.
"What are you looking at? Don't you always say I'm not good? I serve you every day, yet you find fault with me. Did your twenty-four filial son come to see you with anything?"
Qi Qiuming rolled his eyes, got down from the rocking chair, and walked towards the room with a cane.
This attitude made Ge Cuicui furious. "What do you mean? You don't want to talk to me? You don't want to see me? If you have the guts, don't live here. Go to your filial second son's house. Who have I offended? I work inside and outside the house, and take care of your food and clothing, and you keep finding fault with me. If you have the guts, go live somewhere else. I don't want to serve you anymore!"
Qi Qiu Ming paused in his walking.
She has endured it for a long time.
I always thought that I could just endure it and it would pass. She was already so old anyway, and it was uncertain how long she could live, so I didn't bother with her.
But now, she doesn't want to endure it anymore.
Even if she sees through everything, even if she doesn't want to fight or say too much, why can't she live more freely?
She has worked hard all her life, and was reluctant to eat or drink. Just because she injured her leg before and doesn't work much now, she is scolded by her daughter-in-law. Why does she have the right?
"Ge Cuicui, do you want me to move out?"
Ge Cuicui choked, "When did I tell you to move out?"
She would never admit that she wanted the old woman to move out and live on her own. If her husband knew about this, he would definitely skin her alive.
Qi Qiuming said, "Oh, then I heard it wrong. I told you, my Jianjun is not such a heartless person. I have worked hard for your family all my life, but I am being kicked out after just a few days of rest. If this gets out, Jianjun will have no hope of becoming the captain anymore."
Ge Cuicui's face looked as ugly as if she was constipated.
Qi Qiu Ming snorted and went back to his room.
The second daughter-in-law, Wang Lan, came out holding her newborn daughter. Before she could say anything, she was scolded by Ge Cuicui.
"You can still come out, I thought you married here to be the queen, and I had to give you food and drink."
Wang Lan was still in confinement after giving birth. Hu Wenbo loved his wife very much and would patiently take care of Wang Lan after coming back from working in the fields.
But Wang Lan had a soft personality, and every time Ge Cuicui said something sarcastic to her, she would be sad for a long time.
"Mom, I... I'm out of milk, Qing'er is hungry, I..."
"You have no milk? Are you still a mother? You are well fed at home, you have eaten so much fish, and we even stewed an old hen, and you still have no milk? How can you have the nerve to say that?"
I work in the fields every day and have to take care of the whole family when I come home, yet you still complain every day that you don't eat well and don't have milk, and you just cry, "Eat, eat, eat." Do you think I'd give you my life to eat?
Wang Lan's eyes were red. "Mom, I didn't say I didn't eat well. I just don't have milk. I don't want this to happen. I..."
"Cry, cry, cry, what are you crying for? You've brought bad luck upon me. You've been crying all day long like someone bullied you. The Hu family is so unlucky to have married a hen like you who doesn't lay eggs."
Wang Lan was stunned on the spot, tears falling uncontrollably, "I'm sorry, Mom, I don't want to cry either, I just can't help it, I..."
Wang Lan had been married for three years and had given birth to two daughters. She would just cry if you said a few words to her. Ge Cuicui was fed up with her temper.
"If you want to howl, go back to your own home and howl!"
After scolding, Ge Cuicui picked up the basket and went into the kitchen. Wang Lan went back to the house crying with the child in her arms. She didn't even prepare the milk powder and let the child cry loudly.
Qi Qiu Ming couldn't stand it anymore, so he just lay down on the bed, put on his shoes, and made milk powder for the child.
"Don't take your mother's words to heart. She's just like that. She curses people but still does things. You're still in confinement after giving birth. You can't be depressed. It's not good for the baby."
Wang Lan sobbed, "I'm just sad. I don't know why I'm so sad. I feel like I can't breathe."
Qi Qiuming was an experienced person and knew the process of giving birth. She sighed and said, "Don't cry. I'll go find your second aunt and ask if she needs to take any medicine."
Wang Lan held Qi Qiuming back and said, "Grandma, no need. Mom will scold me again. I..."
"Let her scold me," Qi Qiuming said, annoyed. "She can scold me all she wants. What's the point of losing a piece of meat? You're still young, and your body is the most important thing. Don't you understand?"
Wang Lan moved her lips but no words came out, and her tears flowed even more.
