"If you follow our mother, and our mother marries someone else, you will become someone else's unwanted stepson."
Zhao Xingye hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll follow Dad. Maybe Mom will get better after a while and come back."
After the three of them came out of the small room, Zhao Xingye changed his mind.
"I am a descendant of the Zhao family and cannot forget my roots. I am guarding this home for my mother. She can come back anytime she wants."
Said with great righteousness.
In fact, he was just afraid that the neighbors would laugh at him. After all, Zhao Youcai really didn't care about them before.
At this time, Zhao Xingjia and Chen Zhenzhen came with Zhao Yang.
Zhao Xingye quickly spoke to divert everyone's attention from himself:
"Second brother, my parents are getting a divorce. Will you follow our dad?"
Yesterday, after Chen Zhenzhen apologized in the compound, she was so embarrassed that she went out and cried for a long time in a deserted place. Finally, the two of them took the child back to Chen's house.
He was called a troublemaker and was kicked out by Chen's father.
I can only go back to the Zhao family.
I knocked on the door in the middle of the night, but no one opened it.
The fourth son and his wife heard it, but they didn't want to open the fire, especially for the second son. The second son has been a cunning child since he was a child and has often cheated his younger brother.
Zhao Xingmin went to bed too late and slept soundly.
Ma Xiulan didn't want to open the door when she heard the voice of Zhao Xingjia, the evil son.
The couple, with a child, ended up spending money to stay in a guesthouse.
They compensated Zhao Xingmin 1,000 yuan, and only had a dozen yuan left. They didn't dare to spend it carelessly, so they checked out of the hotel at noon and walked home, thinking of admitting their mistake.
I didn't expect to see a lot of people gathered at home when I got home. According to the fourth child, my parents were divorcing and dividing the child.
Chen Zhenzhen said without hesitation: "Let's follow Dad."
Ma Xiu Lan caused her mother and brother to go to jail, preventing her from returning to her parents' home. She and Ma Xiu Lan are irreconcilable.
Zhao Xingjia was hesitant because his mother was really good to him.
But she seemed like a different person in the past two days. If it was his previous mother, he would definitely choose to follow her, but the current mother scared him. The look in her eyes when she looked at him was no longer as kind as before, and she no longer listened to him.
But he also knew that his father was not a good person. He could watch him get sick without paying for it.
He still hopes to follow his mother.
He moved closer to Ma Xiulan and whispered:
"Mom, if you give me and Zhenzhen the 3,000 yuan you have, apologize to her, and treat us the same way you did before, Zhenzhen and I will follow you and forgive you for what you did to my mother-in-law and brother-in-law."
He believed that if he took the three thousand yuan and asked his mother to apologize to Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen would definitely be willing to follow his mother.
Ma Xiulan slapped Zhao Xingjia in the face:
"Do you think I'm a fool? You want all my money and you want me to apologize to Chen Zhenzhen before you'll follow me. Do I need you as my ancestor?"
When the neighbors heard this, they thought Zhao Xingjia had gone crazy.
For everything Chen Zhenzhen did, any one of them deserves a divorce.
Now, not only does she not want to divorce, she also wants her mother-in-law to apologize to her and take away all her money. It is outrageous that she wants to empty the old lady's fortune at such a young age.
Everyone who lived in the same courtyard knew how much effort Ma Xiu Lan put in to support Zhao Xingjia.
Zhao Xingjia was often sick when he was a child, and Ma Xiulan always carried him to the hospital late at night. Later, she even went from house to house to beg people to get Zhao Xingjia food and quilts from different families, just to help him survive.
Now that Zhao Xingjia has married, he seems like a completely different person.
Zhao Xingjia was condemned by everyone, and he became angry and said: "We will just follow my father. Who is a mother and would divorce at such an old age?"
Zhao Youcai saw that the second and fourth daughters had chosen to follow him, not to mention the fifth daughter, who was just a little girl, so it was good enough that he was willing to have her.
Thinking about taking the jobs of the eldest and second sons and making a lot of money in the future, he said proudly:
"Then I'll give you 3,820 yuan. You took 2,000 yuan from Li Shulan before, so I'll give you another 1,820 yuan. You can deduct it from my salary. It will be paid off in more than two years."
"Also, I have paid for the second, fourth, and fifth children. You are not allowed to ask them to support you in your old age."
The neighbors lamented that Zhao Youcai was too cruel. Even if he paid some money, the child was born to Ma Xiu Lan and she raised him with great care. How could he not even care about Ma Xiu Lan's retirement?
Ma Xiu Lan remained silent. It would be strange if he could rely on these people to support himself in his old age.
"Okay, let's write it down clearly in this agreement. The eldest and third child I take care of won't need to provide for your retirement."
She first wrote down the child division agreement and an IOU for 1,820 yuan, and asked Zhao Youcai to sign and fingerprint.
Zhao Youcai saw that Ma Xiulan had even prepared the ink pad long ago.
It seems that Ba has to live with me, and I don't even dislike him.
Isn't it just paying more than two years' salary? He still has 3,000 in savings to spend, and he can also let Ma Xiulan make room for Shulan, and rescue Shulan, so it's worth it.
Ma Xiu Lan got the IOU and asked Director He to sign it as well.
Write down that repayment will start from the salary in October 1977 and continue until it is fully paid off.
If Zhao Youcai wants to sell his job or replace him with someone else, and if the money has not been repaid, he must obtain Ms. Ma Xiu Lan's consent.
"Since we've already discussed the matter of the child, then you also have to settle the bill for you, your mother, and your brother eating and drinking for free from me over the years.
Ever since I gave birth to my first and second child, even if you don't contribute money to the family, your family will still eat the meals I cook."
