When they heard the knock on the door, Ma Xiu Lan was taking food out of the pot, Zhao Xingmin was picking up chopsticks, Zhao Xingguo was wiping the table, and Zhou An An, who was closest to the door, went to open it.
When Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye saw Zhou Anan, they were surprised to see that after not seeing her for a while, this rustic sister-in-law seemed like a different person and had become much more fashionable.
"Where's my mom?"
Zhou Anan turned her head to look towards the kitchen, and Ma Xiulan was already looking at Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye through the window.
Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye rushed to the kitchen.
A few days later, I saw Ma Xiu Lan again. She was wearing a shirt inside, a khaki round-neck sweater outside, well-tailored black pants underneath, and leather boots on her feet. She looked a lot younger.
Zhao Xingjia couldn't help but sigh: "Mom, this outfit of yours must have cost a lot of money."
Didn't he always spare the expense of buying clothes for himself? Why is he spending money recklessly now?
It would be great if he had the money to buy himself clothes. He was still wearing worn-out cotton shoes. After a day's work, his feet were wet with sweat, and when the cold wind blew, he was as cold as if he was not wearing shoes.
Ma Xiulan knew what he was thinking when she saw his eyes. Didn't he feel that he didn't deserve to spend money? Didn't he deserve to wear good clothes? All the good things should be given to him.
I did the same thing in my previous life. I would mend their worn-out cotton shoes and stuff some scraps of cloth inside so that they could continue to wear them.
Now she is not stupid.
"What's it to you if I spend my salary? Besides, my daughter and daughter-in-law bought me everything. Just because you're unfilial, you think others are unfilial too?"
She bought a shirt, a sweater and a tweed jacket last time, and was planning to buy pants and shoes next time. Unexpectedly, she received the pants bought by Xingmin and the boots bought by Zhou Anan at noon the next day.
Seeing that Zhao Xingjia couldn't speak, Zhao Xingye immediately tried to make amends: "Second brother didn't mean that. He just said that you look good in this outfit."
After saying that, she nodded at Zhao Xingjia and asked him to look at the food on the table. Mom cooked meat today, so he must make peace with her. After settling down, he would be able to eat meat every day.
They have been eating cabbage and radishes for a month.
Only then did Zhao Xingjia see the sweet and sour pork ribs on the table. The tempting color and aroma made him swallow uncontrollably.
"Mom, I'm not good at talking, don't be offended, I'll get you a bowl, let's eat first, and then we can have a good chat after dinner."
After saying that, he was about to sit down, but Zhao Xingmin pulled the chair away, causing Zhao Xingjia to fall flat on his butt. Zhao Xingjia glared at Zhao Xingmin:
"Zhao Xingmin? You're going too far. Don't think I won't hit you just because you're my sister."
"What am I doing wrong? You said before that I had to kneel down and apologize to Chen Zhenzhen before you would consider following me. How dare you eat the food I cooked now?"
Zhao Xingjia's face turned red and white. He had been waiting for his mother to bow her head and coax him, but after such a long time, his mother's attitude did not soften at all. She rejected him again yesterday.
That's why he planned to bow his head, but when it came to admitting his mistake, he felt embarrassed and couldn't say it.
Now being bullied by his always soft-hearted sister, he was furious and wanted to stand up and rush towards Zhao Xingmin. Zhao Xingye wanted to stop him, but Ma Xiulan was faster and kicked Zhao Xingjia aside.
"When we divorced, I made it very clear that you don't have to support me in my old age. We are no longer related. Don't come here again. I have nothing to do with you."
Zhao Xingye placed a pound of meat and a pound of fruit candy on the table: "Mom, we know we were wrong. It was Dad who forced us to do that before."
"You two are both adults. How could your father force you? Your father must have promised you some benefits. Since you have chosen that side, we are no longer mother and son."
It is better to throw away these two pieces of barbecued pork. In his previous life, Zhao Xingjia only knew how to suck his blood. Zhao Xingye is competing with Zhao Xingjia. Whatever he has done to Zhao Xingjia, he must make up for it, no matter what means.
Zhao Xingye winked at Zhao Xingmin, thinking of a roundabout way to save the country, and asked Zhao Xingmin to persuade his mother.
Zhao Xingmin turned his head away and pretended not to understand.
Zhao Xingjia felt bad when he saw Ma Xiulan was so direct in breaking off relations with him:
"Mom, how can you be as cruel as Dad?"
"Dad only cares about my uncle and grandma. He doesn't care that they treat us well. They sleep during the day and make noise at night. They don't want us to have a good sleep, let alone study."
"The college entrance exam is coming soon, and we can't concentrate on studying because of all the interruptions. We can only study peacefully by staying with you during this period."
Zhao Xingye tried to make amends: "We'll be well behaved if we live here. We'll just review our lessons at night and then have a good sleep."
By the way, you can also have dinner and breakfast here, and you can stay here for a long time.
When the time comes, I will steal some of my dad’s money and live a happy life.
Ma Xiulan sneered, "You two are not doing well, so you come here to plot against me. If you were doing well, you would definitely not come to me. I'm afraid you have even forgotten about me as your mother, and you are afraid that I will have to take care of you in my old age."
In the previous life, these two evil deeds were used as a pretext to send me to jail for retirement.
Zhao Xingjia patted his chest quickly and said, "How could that be? We don't have any money now. Once we pass the exam and get a good job, we will definitely take care of you in your old age, buy you good food and clothes, and make other old ladies envy you."
"Stop, stop making me dream. You've been working for over five years, and you and Chen Zhenzhen are both regulars at state-owned restaurants, yet you've never taken me out for a meal. I don't believe your nonsense."
