Chapter 107: You take out half of the money
The brother and sister returned to Chen's home in the former village.
Chen Jie pushed open the gate, and Chen Xiang followed him across the yard, all the way to the door of the east room before pausing for a moment.
She held her breath and listened carefully.
From the room across the door, there were indeed intermittent groaning sounds similar to those of an illness.
Chen Jie stood in front and whispered to the closed door: "Mom, my little sister is back..."
This is a reminder to Dai Jinhua.
Sure enough, the sound in the room paused for a second, and then the moaning became heavier, sounding as if it was more painful. Chen Xiang's eyes were cold, her lips curled up, and she sneered silently.
While the man was talking, he had already opened the door and walked in.
Seeing this, Chen Xiang hurriedly followed.
The moment she entered the room, a familiar yet strange feeling hit her in the face, which made Chen Xiang stand at the door and refused to take another step forward.
She turned her head and slowly looked around.
The memories that were sealed deep in my mind came rushing back like a wave.
The basket for needlework on the table was woven by her herself, the pile of dried red dates on the windowsill were picked from the tree by her herself, and the gourd and radish strips hanging on the wall were also made by her.
There are traces of her presence everywhere...
But it's not her home.
Dai Jinhua and her husband lived in this room, and the other two rooms belonged to her eldest son and youngest son. She was the only one who didn't have a decent room, so she just made a wooden bed in the kitchen.
It is cold in winter, hot in summer, and there are many mosquitoes.
In the rooms of Dai Jinhua's two sons, not even a fly could be seen.
Chen Xiang's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the bitterness in her throat slid down her esophagus into her chest, filling her entire body at an extremely slow speed.
For some reason, she suddenly felt disgusted.
Chen Xiang bit her teeth hard to suppress the nauseous feeling. She collected her thoughts and turned her head to look at the kang.
Dai Jinhua was seen lying in the quilt with a pale face.
The woman closed her eyes slightly and moaned and called her name: "Xiang, you're back..."
"Come here soon, let me take a good look at you. You don't know how much I missed you during the days you were away from home. I was afraid that you were not doing well over there."
As she spoke, a tear rolled down her temple from the corner of her eye.
Chen Xiangwen remained motionless, and only asked calmly: "Will you... hit me again?"
When Dai Jinhua heard her ask this, she was stunned at first, then pretended to be exhausted, struggled to stand up, and looked up at Chen Xiang.
She confessed with a face full of remorse: "Xiang, it was my fault as a mother before. It was so outrageous!"
Dai Jinhua pounded the quilt with her fists, her face full of regret, and her crying became louder and louder: "I did that because you are my daughter and I thought you would never leave your mother! But now I understand that you will get married and become someone else's daughter-in-law."
"Since you got married, our house has been empty. Mom has to go to Zhou's house to see you...Xiaoxiang, Mom really knows she was wrong this time. Can you forgive me?"
Chen Xiang stared at her with a pair of dark eyes.
After a long pause, he asked softly, "Have you seen a doctor for your illness?"
Dai Jinhua's body softened and she fell back into the quilt, and she began to sob in pain again: "I've seen it, but my heart aches. I almost met Prince Yan last night..."
Chen Xiang: "That must have cost a lot of money, right?"
When Dai Jinhua heard her mention money, she was instantly overjoyed and almost laughed out loud while hiding her face from Chen Xiang.
She quickly suppressed her thoughts and said, "Yes, the little savings at home are gone."
Chen Xiang looked helpless: "What should I do?"
This time Dai Jinhua did not say anything. She just covered her head and cried out: "Ouch, my head hurts, I feel dizzy..."
Chen Jie seized the opportunity and said, "Little sister, you have seen the situation at home now. For mom's sake, you should bring your second brother to do business with you."
She was confused: "What are you doing?"
"Don't pretend. I know you work hard to make money for the Zhou family. If you don't want to take me with you, then mom is sick now, so you have to pay half of the money."
Chen Xiang sneered in her heart.
Waiting for her here!
"Half the money? How much is that?"
Chen Jie held up five fingers and said, "It's not much, five hundred is fine."
Chen Xiang's eyes widened and she screamed, "Five hundred!?"
