It would have been fine if Chen Guihua hadn't explained, but the more she explained, the more Liu Xiaofen thought about it, so she immediately grabbed her pants and went home.
The two families are close to each other, with Chen Guihua's family in the middle, and Niu Fugui and Liu Damei's families on the left and right respectively. The village is full of tiled houses, and the sound insulation effect is not good. If you speak louder, you can hear the other person talking in the house.
After Liu Xiaofen returned home, she heard the slamming of a door, followed by the sound of Liu Xiaofen arguing with Niu Fugui while holding her underpants, and the sound of furniture being smashed.
Niu Dali originally wanted to persuade Liu Xiaofen and Niu Fugui, but when he thought of the pair of shorts and Liu Damei's refusal to marry him, he felt upset and couldn't move forward.
Chen Guihua returned home as if nothing had happened and started cooking, waiting for Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe to come home.
Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe had not returned home yet, but Niu Tiezhu returned home first.
As soon as he entered the yard, he ran to the kitchen. "Mom, what delicious food did you cook today?"
As Niu Tiezhu was speaking, he opened the lid of the pot and saw that there were fried eggs and cabbage in the pot. He wanted to pick up the chopsticks on the stove to pick up some food and put it in his mouth, but was stopped by Shen Guihua's thugs.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Chunsheng and Xiahe haven't come back yet!"
Niu Tiezhu listened to what Shen Guihua said, and looked puzzled. "Mom, when do we have to wait for them for dinner?"
Chen Guihua rolled her eyes at Niu Tiezhu and said, "That was in the past. Things are different now. Now we have to wait for them to come home before we can eat."
"An adopted son, and a money-losing girl about to get married..."
Before Niu Tiezhu could finish his words, Shen Guihua pushed him aside. "In my eyes, there are only filial children and unfilial children. There are only two kinds of distinctions. There is no other way to classify them!"
Seeing Chen Guihua speaking so seriously, Niu Tiezhu always had an inexplicable sense of fear in his heart, as if he was about to lose something, but he couldn't tell what he was going to lose.
But this uneasy feeling only lasted for a few minutes. He was Chen Guihua's only biological son. If Chen Guihua didn't love him, who else could she love?
Niu Dali, who was sitting next to them, was immersed in speculating about the relationship between him, Liu Damei and Niu Fugui, and didn't pay any attention to the conversation between Niu Tiezhu and Chen Guihua.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Mom, look what we brought back for you?"
Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe walked into the kitchen while talking and smiling.
When Shen Guihua heard the two children's voices, a smile spread across her face, and she hurried over to greet them, "Why did you come back so late?"
Niu Xiahe took out a heavy plastic bag and handed it to Chen Guihua.
"Mom, these are wild mulberries that my third brother and I picked by the river. They're so sweet. Try some."
Chen Guihua picked up a mulberry and put it in her mouth to taste it. "It's really sweet and delicious."
Chen Guihua took the mulberries from Niu Xiahe and put them in the wooden cupboard beside her, then took out bowls and chopsticks to serve food to the two children, completely ignoring the ungrateful father and son beside her.
Niu Tiezhu was a little unhappy when he saw that Chen Guihua did not help him to serve his rice, but he was hungry, so he did not say anything. Instead, he took out his own bowl and chopsticks to serve his rice.
Niu Xiahe saw Niu Dali lying motionless on the side and kindly reminded him, "Dad, it's time to eat... Dad!"
Niu Xiahe called out "Dad" twice before Niu Dali came to his senses.
"Oh, time to eat."
Niu Dali, who was in a panic, stood up and took the bowl and chopsticks to fill the rice. The family sat together to eat.
The dinner was simple: scrambled eggs with cabbage, potatoes with tomatoes, and stir-fried green peppers.
Although the dish was simple, everyone enjoyed it with gusto, except for the dazed Niu Dali.
After Chen Guihua picked up a piece of egg for Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe, she slowly said, "You two, from tomorrow on, don't run around in the fields so much. Just stay home peacefully reading and writing in the afternoon.
I went to town today to buy pens and ink for you two. You must study hard because you have to go to college in the future!"
After hearing what Chen Guihua said, Niu Tiezhu said in surprise, "Mom, going to college is expensive. Our family doesn't have that much money to support them."
Chen Guihua looked at Niu Tiezhu and smiled. "Don't we still have a brother like you at home? In a few months, you can go out to work with other people in the village and earn money to support your younger brothers and sisters to go to college."
When Niu Tiezhu heard Chen Guihua ask him to go out to work, his eyes were so shocked that they almost popped out of their sockets.
"Mom, I'm your only son, how could you bear to let me go out to work?"
“It’s okay if I don’t work…”
Before Shen Guihua finished speaking, Niu Tiezhu had already revealed a smug smile on his face. He knew that Shen Guihua loved him and would not let him suffer.
But what Chen Guihua said next was like a bolt of lightning to him: "Then let's split up the family, and you move out. That way I can have one less mouth to feed and save some money for their schooling."
"Mom...am I still your biological son?"
Niu Tiezhu was so anxious that he stopped what he was doing. He never expected that Chen Guihua, who loved him the most, would have the idea of splitting up the family.
"What's the point of loving your son or not? Those who contribute can stay, and those who don't can get out!"
It was the first time that Niu Tiezhu heard Chen Guihua say such cold words to him, and he felt a chill in his heart.
"Mom, mom, you can't do this," Niu Tiezhu glanced at Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe who were eating with their heads down. "Mom, if you have to chase them away, chase them away. They don't contribute much."
When Chen Guihua heard what Niu Tiezhu said, she gave him a glare.
"They know how to farm, pick wild fruits for their mother, and care about her. They also know how to study hard and plan for a good future.
Look at you, you are lazy and gluttonous, wander around everywhere, don't like to study, and always get into trouble.
Tell me, why should I keep you? Are you keeping you to cause me trouble?
Or do I think my life is too long and want you to keep me here to piss me off to death?"
When Niu Tiezhu heard Chen Guihua's confident and resolute criticism of him, the sense of loss in his heart became more and more obvious. Does this mean that his biological mother no longer loves him?
"Mom, can you please not chase me away? I can farm too." Niu Tiezhu, who had never worked in the fields, also began to compromise, and his voice became lower when he spoke.
Chen Guihua had not yet thought of killing them all immediately. When she heard Niu Tiezhu offer to go to the fields to work, and thought that Niu Chunsheng and Niu Xiahe still needed more time to read, she relaxed.
"That's fine. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the fields to work so that your younger brothers and sisters can study at home with peace of mind."
Niu Tiezhu's eyes widened again.
"Mom, why can they both read books at home instead of working in the fields?"
Chen Guihua said slowly, "Because they both have good grades, they are both ranked among the top students in the class.
Look at you, you are always among the last few.
If your grades are as good as theirs, Mom can also let you stop working in the fields and let you stay home and study."
