In his rage, he shouted so hard that veins popped out of his forehead and neck.
Xiao Si also came over at this time. He shouted "Uncle" and threw himself into Xiao Si's arms, hugging Xiao Si and crying.
Sanniang was exhausted, and Qijin was also tired of crying and fell asleep in her arms, with tear stains on his little face.
She sat on the bed, hugging Qi Jin, without saying a word.
"What are you doing? You are the whole family bullying my third sister, right? Do you think all of us Tao family members are dead?" Xiao Si said with a gloomy face while hugging Lu Junzhou.
Xiao Si is the only male in their family. Lu Huaian's mother and elder sister do not take him seriously. However, they cannot afford to offend Xiao Si's mother and elder and second sisters, who are famous for being shrews in the town.
"May everyone in your family live a hundred years, thousands of years, or even millions of years. Instead of living in disgrace!" Lu Huaian's mother gouged out her eyes at Sanniang, then kicked Lu Huaian, who was squatting there with his head in his hands, saying nothing. "What are you still doing here? Do you think you can be proud of yourself?"
Lu Huaian stood up, glanced at Sanniang with complicated eyes, and followed his mother and his eldest sister downstairs.
"Third sister..."
Just as Xiao Si started to speak, Sanniang turned to look at him and said calmly, "I'm fine. Thank you, little brother. I'm going to go cook. Please keep an eye on Qi Jin for me. Don't go back to the pharmacy to eat today. Eat with me before you leave."
Sanniang prepared a very sumptuous meal, all of which were the favorites of Lu Junzhou and Xiao Si. Xiao Si said, "Third sister, you are living a hard life, why do you cook so much for one meal? It would be a waste if you can't finish it."
"If you can't finish it, you can eat it tomorrow. It won't go bad in the cold weather. I've figured it out. Your brother-in-law doesn't love me, so why don't I love myself and my son?"
"Come on, Jun'er, eat more. This is your favorite wind-blown meat jerky. From now on, we have to learn to take care of ourselves, okay?"
She put a piece of dried meat into Lu Junzhou's bowl with her chopsticks, and also picked up some scrambled eggs with green peppers that Xiao Si liked. She also asked Xiao Si if he had a girl he liked. If so, to tell her, she would ask a matchmaker to help him propose marriage.
During the meal, she was talking and laughing, and Xiao Si didn't notice anything unusual about her.
"Xiao Si, take Da Jun to your place to do his homework, and you can rest there tonight. I'll go to Ding Village later and tell Madam Jian not to let Ding Pingshun come to the bookstore next door again, otherwise he will cause trouble with your brother-in-law every other day and make everyone uneasy."
"I'll drive you there. Wait a minute while I go talk to the Master."
"No need. You're just a clerk, an apprentice at that. It's not good to always have to borrow the boss's carriage. I'll hire a carriage myself later. Maybe I can stay at her house tonight and come back tomorrow. Don't worry about it. Just help me take good care of Dajun."
"Mom, if Ding Sheng's father loses his job, will he resent you even more?" Lu Junzhou asked.
"Never mind him, he's just a little kid. He can hate me as much as he wants, it doesn't bother us. Go to your uncle's place and do your homework. Don't let the things between us adults disturb your studies. Calm down and study hard. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I know." Lu Junzhou nodded, went upstairs to pack up his things and came down. Before leaving, he looked back at Sanniang. Little did he know that this look would be the last time he would see his mother before she died.
