When Old Lady Wang returned home, she specially brought a wedding egg for each of her three daughters, who were flattered.
Seeing that the eldest, second, and third sisters Zhao were all eating eggs, Old Lady Wang cleared her throat and said, "The three of you give me another 500 yuan."
Sister Zhao choked on the egg in her mouth and coughed for a long time.
It took a sip of water to recover.
"Mom, didn't we just pay Youcai's hospital bill a few days ago? My third brother and I just paid 48 yuan. Why are you asking for money again?"
Old Lady Wang was accused by her daughter and said with a stern face: "I told you to take it, so you took it. Otherwise, don't recognize me as your mother. If you don't even recognize me as your mother, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
Sister Zhao had a sad face.
"We'll split it between the three of us. How can I take out more than 160 at once? That's too much. My youngest son hasn't even gotten married yet."
The bruises on Zhao Erjie's face hadn't faded yet. "I can't get the money. After it was exposed that I deliberately gave my child a cold so that I could get money from my mother-in-law to give to my parents' family, my whole family is wary of me."
Third Sister Zhao was dissatisfied: "You didn't pay last time, and if you don't pay this time, that's too unfair."
Zhao Erjie's face fell. "What can I do? It's all because of Ma Xiulan's last fuss that I can't get a penny now. If you want to blame someone, blame Ma Xiulan. You and your eldest sister should pay for the 500 yuan this time."
Seeing that Zhao Erjie was trying to evade the offer, Zhao Sanjie pushed her directly:
"Each of us is two hundred and fifty. Do you think we are two hundred and fifty? Your in-laws don't allow you to take money, but mine do? You've given birth to several children, and you stole some money from home, and you can still be divorced?"
Old Mrs. Wang was annoyed by her daughters' endless quarrels: "Okay, stop making a big fuss and making fun of the neighbors. Bring me the money as soon as possible."
--
Ma Xiu Lan took Zhao Xingguo and Zhou Anan on the train for three days and finally got off.
Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.
We were rushing to catch the train with valuables, and no one could sleep well even though we took turns sleeping.
Before leaving, Old Man Zhou carefully handed a box to Ma Xiu Lan.
When Ma Xiulan opened it, she found a wild ginseng and a recipe for conditioning. Wild ginseng was too precious, so Ma Xiulan could not accept it.
Old man Zhou said that the betrothal gifts in the village were either tens of yuan or hundreds of kilograms of grain. He had earned few work points in recent years and received grain for his medical treatment. He could not afford a betrothal gift equivalent to 666 yuan.
This wild ginseng was the most valuable thing he had dug up. Seeing that Ma Xiulan was overworked, he prescribed a prescription for her to recuperate.
If Ma Xiulan didn't accept it, he would feel really bad.
Ma Xiulan then accepted it and gave it to Zhao Xingguo.
This is the parents' love for their small family.
The three of them returned to the guesthouse. When Zhao Xingmin got off work and saw his long-lost elder brother, he burst into tears with excitement.
Zhao Xingguo touched his sister's head and sighed, "You've grown into a big girl. Oh, and this is your sister-in-law."
Zhao Xingmin smiled kindly: "Hello, sister-in-law."
Zhou Anan smiled back and said a simple hello. She was free in the village, but when she arrived in the city, she was a little nervous as she was new there.
Zhao Xingguo patted her back soothingly.
Ma Xiulan greeted everyone: "Put down your luggage, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
A family of four talked and laughed along the way.
On the train, Zhou Anan learned that her mother-in-law and father-in-law were divorced, so she brought a girl named Xingmin with her. Now that she saw that Xingmin had a good personality, she felt very comfortable.
Although Zhao Xingguo is a son-in-law, she knows that Zhao Xingguo values his mother's side very much, so she also plans to interact more with this side for Zhao Xingguo's sake.
Now that she sees that the relationships here are simple, she is naturally happy.
Ma Xiulan simply told Zhao Xingguo about the divorce. After Zhao Xingguo met Xingmin and asked about the details, he felt that the divorce was a good decision. He had always felt that his mother had a hard life, and his grandmother and uncle were difficult to deal with, but at least his father made money. He didn't expect that his father would not give the money to his mother.
His mother had been hiding this from him, but now that everything was revealed, he got angry every time he heard about his father's behavior.
He will take care of his mother in her old age, since his father doesn't want him anyway.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Ma Xiulan ordered beef-filled buns and fragrant wontons.
After Zhao Youcai returned, the Zhao family's food expenses declined sharply. Zhao Youcai had to pay the daily food expenses in cash, and they couldn't even buy good food.
Zhao Yang was so greedy. In the past, he was either taken care of by his parents to cook for him, or he pestered his grandmother and aunt to improve his food by steaming an egg or buying a chicken leg.
In addition, Zhao Youcai's family had eaten well for four days while he was in the hospital. Now Zhao Yang found it difficult to swallow the pickled vegetable porridge and did not want to eat, so he ran to the door of the state-owned restaurant.
Staring at other people's dining tables and drooling.
Suddenly he saw his grandmother and aunt. He ran over, grabbed the buns on the table and was about to stuff them into his mouth.
Ma Xiulan snatched the bun from Zhao Yang.
This bastard stabbed me to death in my previous life. In this life, I can't do anything to him because of his young age, but I will never let him take advantage of me again.
Zhao Yang rolled on the ground: "Grandma, I want to eat buns, eat buns."
It immediately attracted the attention of the people around. No one knew what was going on, so they just looked at him without saying anything.
Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao Xingjia chased Zhao Yang on an empty stomach and came all the way here. Seeing Ma Xiulan's indifference to Zhao Yang, Zhao Xingjia scolded her:
"Mom, even if you and my dad are divorced, Zhao Yang still calls you grandma and eats your buns, right?"
