Chapter 223 Shameless

Zhao Jiuxiang After being scolded by Lu Fubao, Zhao Jiuxiang did not go to the Lu family's door to make trouble.

His son was right. They still had to make a living in the brigade. If they offended the secretary's family, their lives would be even more difficult in the future. Let's let the fifth girl go for now. She will come out to walk around the village one day, and then we can ask her for it.

The next day, Zhao Jiuxiang ate early and set out for the fourth daughter's house.

When they got there, they also made a lot of noise, which made Lu Guimei's in-laws angry enough. In the end, they gave her 100 kilograms of corn and 20 kilograms of wheat to send her away.

Lu Fubao saw that his mother went out and brought back a large bag of food, which was a bit strange.

"Mom, where did you get the food?"

Zhao Jiuxiang said, "Your fourth sister's family gave it to them."

Lu Fubao thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "Mom, you didn't go to fourth sister's house to make trouble, did you?"

Zhao Jiuxiang knew that her son didn't like her like that and had already told her off yesterday, so she said, "I didn't make trouble. I just went over to talk to her. She knew I hadn't been in the brigade for a year and had no food, so she said it was a gift to me as a filial piety."

Lu Fubao was a little unconvinced, "Mom, don't go to your sisters' house to ask for food. They're not having an easy life either."

"I didn't spend much of the money you gave me before, and I still have a lot left. I knew you were coming back, so I've already bought food from the brigade. Let's eat it first. If it's not enough, we can buy more from the brigade when the time comes." Lu Fubao said as he went to the room to take out the money and handed it to Zhao Jiuxiang.

Before Zhao Jiuxiang went to labor reform, he told Lu Fubao where the money was kept at home, which was more than 100 yuan.

Lu Fubao was cheated of dozens of yuan, and he also spent a little on buying things, so he has a little over 100 yuan left.

This is his first year working, and his work points are not high. He can only get 7 or 8 work points every day. There are many days for distribution this year, and after deducting his own food money and the money for buying food, he only got about ten yuan.

Lu Fubao handed all the money to Zhao Jiuxiang.

"Mom, really, don't make trouble. I will work hard next year and won't let you go hungry." Lu Fubao said.

Seeing his son like this, Zhao Jiuxiang's eyes were a little moist. As expected, sons are still the best. Those ungrateful people have been raised in vain.

Zhao Jiuxiang became more determined to ask her daughters for food.

Her sons are so good, shouldn't she consider her sons?

Fubao is already twenty-one years old, and other people have already married. Because of her, it will be more difficult for him to get married, so he must prepare more gifts.

This money is only a hundred yuan, how can it be spent on buying food, it must be saved for Fubao to marry a wife.

Her Fubao is so good, she doesn't want him to just marry an ugly one, so the gifts must be prepared.

"Son, mother wants to tell you something, your uncle Shitou wants to move in to live with you, what do you think?"

Zhao Jiuxiang and Lao Shitou had agreed on it on the farm. Anyway, everyone knew about it, and they had already undergone labor reform, so they might as well live together after returning.

Hearing this, Lu Fubao's face flushed, his lips trembled, and after a long while he said, "I don't agree!"

After that, he slammed the door and went back to the house.

Zhao Jiuxiang hurried in and persuaded him, "Fubao, he is your biological father, he will only love you more, and we will live a good life as a family of three in the future. Okay?"

Lu Fubao didn't listen, got on the kang, and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

He didn't understand, since his mother was back, couldn't they live a good life

together? Why did she have to find that old stone again? Other people's mothers could become widows at a young age, why did his mother, who was so old, have to live with her lover?

Lu Fubao was extremely reluctant to admit the fact that Old Shi was his biological father, because it was a shame. He felt heartbroken when he thought that he was a son born out of wedlock.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Jiuxiang sighed and went out.

Zhao Jiuxiang went to find Lao Shitou and told him that Lu Fubao could not accept it for the time being, and asked him to wait for a while before moving.

Lao Shitou was a little disappointed, "Okay, no hurry, it's mainly Fubao, wait until he is willing before moving."

"Do you have food and firewood for the winter?" Zhao Jiuxiang asked.

"Yes, I didn't eat much of the food I distributed last year, and I still have some firewood, which is enough to survive the winter." Lao Shitou said.

It's just that the food has been stored for a year and looks a little moldy, but it's not a big deal, just wash it, put it on the kang and dry it.

"I just came to tell you, then I'll go back first, I'll persuade Fubao." Zhao Jiuxiang said and went back.

When he came out, he saw several aunties pointing at Lao Shitou's house in the distance. When they saw Zhao Jiuxiang coming out, they quickly withdrew their hands.

Zhao Jiuxiang walked over with a smile and asked, "What are you talking about? Tell me about it."

The aunties had never seen such a shameless person before, and they were choked for a moment.

"You dare not say it? Are you saying that I am not decent and went to Lao Shitou to do that thing again?"

"Don't worry, we don't have to be sneaky about it now. He has no woman, I have no man, and we are ready to live together." Zhao Jiuxiang said, giggling and left.

The aunties were completely stunned. When Zhao Jiuxiang walked away, they spat, "Bah! You are so shameless at your age."

The next day, Zhao Jiuxiang went out again.

The more Lu Fubao thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he got dressed and went to Lu Guimei's house.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Lu Guimei's husband chopping

wood, so he called out, "Brother-in-law." When Lu Guimei's husband saw Lu Fubao, he snorted and ignored him. He originally thought that this brother-in-law was a good person, but he didn't expect that he would bite without barking.

Lu Fubao had a bad feeling in his heart, and when he saw Lu Guimei and heard about his mother's heroic deeds yesterday, Lu Fubao's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Fourth sister, I'll go back and bring the food back to you."

Lu Guimei waved her hand, "Fubao, forget it, just treat it as the last thing I give her. You go back and tell her that from now on I will treat myself as if I have no mother, and we won't go out together anymore."

"Fourth sister..." Lu Fubao hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"Go back, Fubao, don't come again." Lu Guimei waved her hand and asked Lu Fubao to leave.

She really didn't expect Zhao Jiuxiang to do this. She really didn't think about how they were doing in her husband's family.

Her father-in-law had been honest all his life and had never made such a big fool of himself. He fell on the kang in anger yesterday and has not been able to get up yet.

Since she didn't treat her as a daughter, she would have no mother in the future.

Lu Fubao returned home feeling ashamed, embarrassed and angry. He carried the bag of grain from yesterday and wanted to return it to Lu Guimei. As soon as he reached the door, he ran into Zhao Jiuxiang who was carrying another bag of grain.

"Mom!" Lu Fubao shouted, "Which sister are you going to ask for food again?"

Zhao Jiuxiang was startled by Lu Fubao, and saw that he was also carrying a bag of food, "Fubao, where are you going?"

"I'm sending the food back to my fourth sister."

"This is her way of showing filial piety to me, why are you sending it back?"

"Mom, I went to my fourth sister's house. Why did you do that? My fourth sister doesn't recognize you anymore. She told me that she will treat

me like she has no mother in the future." Zhao Jiuxiang sneered, "It doesn't matter whether she recognizes me or not? She was born and raised by me, and I will be her mother until I die. I still have to show filial piety to her."

"Mom?" Lu Fubao was a little bit unbelievable. He found that his mother seemed to have changed since she changed her ways.

Lu Fubao didn't want to say anything more, and wanted to leave with the food on her shoulder. Seeing this, Zhao Jiuxiang hurried forward to stop him.

"Fubao, this grain was given to me by the fourth girl."

"Mom, if you still want the fourth sister as your daughter, you should let me send the grain back." After saying that, he walked around and wanted to leave.

Zhao Jiuxiang put the grain she was carrying on the ground, then sat on it, and started crying with her trump card: "My life is so miserable! I gave birth to five ungrateful children who don't care about my life or death, and now even my son has begun to disobey me..."

Seeing Zhao Jiuxiang like that, Lu Fubao's scalp went numb: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Zhao Jiuxiang ignored her and continued to cry. Seeing that someone nearby had come out to see, Lu Fubao had to throw the grain she was carrying on the ground.

"Okay, I won't send it back, okay?"

After saying that, he walked away irritably.
