Chapter 171 No Request for Return
Li's eyes lit up instantly, and she pulled her husband towards her own yard.
Niu Niu stayed to accompany and take care of Changshou.
The couple closed the door and Li cried non-stop.
"The day after I got married, they set rules for me, but they didn't set rules for my younger siblings. I'm the eldest sister-in-law, but I still have to serve food to my younger siblings. Do you know all this?"
Sun Jiaxing was overwhelmed when he heard this.
"Does your mother look down on me? She obviously looks down on you! She loves her second and third brothers so much that she won't bear to torment their wives!"
"Every time she was sick, I was the one who took care of her. I had to take care of her excrement and urine, and I had to catch her vomit with my hands! I was a lowly person, but they only bothered me when there were maids and women in the room who couldn't see me!"
Li wrote every word with tears in her eyes. She had complained to Sun Jiaxing about some things, but Sun Jiaxing didn't take them seriously.
Over time, Li rarely complained to her husband.
Now, after listening to Niu Niu's words, Li finally came to her senses. No matter whether he listened or not, it was better to get angry with him, so that he would not think that he was living a fairy-like life in the inner house every day.
After every sentence she said, she would add "Your mother doesn't like you". The couple's wounds were placed together, and they shared the same misery.
Old Mrs. Sun was not idle either. She summoned her two sons to her side as if she was being urged to do something.
"Your eldest brother doesn't plan to take you with him to Beijing this time."
As soon as Mrs. Sun said this, her two sons looked at each other.
Although they wanted to see the scenery of the capital, no one wanted to be controlled by a living father. It was good that the old lady was rescued in time, but if she was not rescued in time, the punishment would really fall on them.
"Mom, we are not children anymore and we are all fathers. It is really inappropriate for us to follow our eldest brother around all day. Anyway, we have separated a long time ago and it is better to separate now." Master Sun Er expressed his opinion on the spot.
Sun San followed closely behind.
After hearing this, Old Lady Sun asked, "Do you really think so?"
The two old guys nodded together.
Old Madam Sun was still not happy and said, "Mom is so old, and she still has to go so far. I can't bear to leave you. How about I persuade your eldest brother again?"
The two old boys were more panicked than anyone else when they heard this, but the second oldest was the smartest and said, "Mom, if you can't bear to let us go, we can stay! It's great that we can be filial to you!"
Old Mrs. Sun was somewhat tempted when she heard this, but then she thought again that the most important reason for going to the capital was actually the doctor.
"There are no good doctors at home, and the doctors in the capital..."
Before Mrs. Sun finished her words, the second son of the Sun family said, "Mother, if my eldest brother was a high-ranking official, it would be fine. But if he is a lowly official, he probably won't even be able to get a doctor. You won't be able to enjoy it if you go, and it would be a waste of time."
Sun Lao San, who was watching the fun, said without thinking, "Yes, the journey to the capital is long. You might have been fine, but the fatigue from the journey might have ruined your health. If you are really filial, you should have spent a lot of money to invite a doctor from the capital to come here to treat you."
The two brothers were so eloquent that they actually convinced the old lady.
Instead of going to the capital and trying to please other old ladies, she would rather stay in her hometown and be worshipped and pampered by everyone.
Sun Jiaxing had just coaxed his wife and promised her that he would never ignore her pain in the future, but the old lady called him over again.
"You're not going to Beijing?" Sun Jiaxing was dumbfounded.
Old Lady Sun said with a stern face: "The journey to the capital is long. If you are really filial, you shouldn't torment me like this."
Sun Jiaxing didn't know what to say for a moment.
The old lady was afraid of death, so she instructed everyone in detail about asking for a doctor.
Sun Jiaxing wanted to persuade her again, but the old lady was already impatient and said, "If you are really filial, you don't have to be afraid of what others say. Send more people to send me some treasures and silver. That way, I can live a comfortable life and really remember your kindness."
Sun Jiaxing was very angry about these words.
The old lady said this to blame Sun Jiaxing for being hypocritically filial, as if he took her to the capital just to prevent people from gossiping that he, as the eldest son, did not take care of his mother.
Sun Jiaxing was angry about this matter for the whole night.
The next morning, when Niuniu saw him, she felt so distressed when she saw the dark circles under his eyes that she leaned over and asked, "Uncle Sun, can't you sleep?"
Sun Jiaxing didn't want to tell his child about his troubles, so he just said, "I just couldn't sleep."
Niuniu immediately said like a little adult: "I'll teach Uncle Sun a good method. Close your eyes and don't think about anything, and you will fall asleep quickly."
Sun Jiaxing couldn't help but ask, "You, a person of your age, also suffer from insomnia?"
Niuniu nodded and said, "Every time my mother takes me out to play, I will be so happy that I can't sleep at night."
Sun Jiaxing said, "Then next time we take you out to play, we can't tell you in advance. I'll carry you out early in the morning as a surprise for you."
Niuniu immediately became happy and said, "That's good. I can't calm down as long as I think about going out to play."
Sun Jiaxing and Li couldn't help but feel better when they saw the innocent look of the child.
Niuniu added, "Is Uncle Sun also unable to sleep because of something happy?"
Sun Jiaxing fell silent when he thought about the ups and downs of yesterday.
It was Li who spoke quickly and said, "Your father is not happy at all, he is sad."
"Why is Uncle Sun sad?" Niu Niu didn't quite understand.
Sun Jiaxing didn't want to say.
But Li felt that Niu Niu's childish words always made her think of some strange words to comfort people.
She also hoped that Niuniu could help her to find some solutions.
"Your father doesn't know that they are a close and loving family. He has given so much, but no one remembers his kindness. Instead, they are wary of him." Li said concisely.
Sun Jiaxing was very unhappy.
Niuniu tilted her head and said, "If they don't treat you as family, you don't have to treat them as family."
When Sun Jiaxing heard this, he felt it was inappropriate and said, "Family members are born together, how can you say they are not meant to be?"
Niuniu said, "Uncle Sun, am I your natural family member?"
Sun Jiaxing was suddenly speechless.
Niuniu continued to talk about the truth that she understood in her little head: "Family members rely on each other. If someone messes up behind your back, then they are not my family!"
“If you keep giving without any response, everyone will get tired.”
Sun Jiaxing shook his head and said, "I didn't expect them to repay me. I just hoped that they would treat me as a family member."
Niu Niu said: "How can I not ask for anything in return? My mother said that if you don't ask for anything in return, you will really get nothing in return, so when you give, you should aim for a reward."
This was the first time in Sun Jiaxing's life that someone had said something like this to him.
