Chapter 54: Keeping Together for Warmth
Ye Beixiu's words made Pang Xiujuan angry and ashamed, "I really regret giving birth to you, you..."
"That's right. You already have two sons, Beili and Beifeng. You will definitely regret giving birth to me.
Because when you see me, you will think of my dad.
You don't like my dad at all. The one you have always liked is your third uncle.
People outside think you married Uncle San because I didn't want to be wronged. Your words are just to deceive outsiders.
Although I was younger at that time, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t understand anything.
You are my mother, and this cannot be changed.
I also know that you have just spoken your true feelings. You have never liked me from the beginning. Otherwise, what mother would want her son to marry a fool? "
"you......"
Pang Xiujuan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"I know what you're thinking. You're eyeing my new house, and you're just thinking that you can use your status as an elder to suppress us now, so that when Beili and Beishan grow up, they can also marry and have children in this house. Right?"
Pang Xiujuan's face flushed, and she gasped, "So what? I'm your mother, and this thing can never be changed. And your wife, as my daughter-in-law, isn't it her duty to serve me?"
"I tell you, what you are thinking is just thinking.
There is no way my wife will work like a slave for your family.
Also, let me remind you again that the house I live in now is the place left by my biological father, and it is a new house I renovated."
"You unfilial son..."
"Whether one is filial or not is up to outsiders to judge, and you don't even think about whether you are a qualified mother.
I advise you not to think about those trivial things. You will get as much as you put in.
It's getting late, my wife is coming back soon, if you have nothing else, go quickly!"
"You rebellious son, you..."
"Can you please stop repeating the same few words over and over again, calling me an unfilial son or a rebellious son?
I have been lying in bed and talking to you. You know that I went to the county town to treat my leg, but have you ever asked me a question?
Before I went to the county town, my elder brother and sister-in-law gave me some money. Where were you?
Don't tell me that you haven't divided the family property and you don't have any money. You are just trying to fool a child with these kinds of words.
My temper is not made of clay, and I am not the kind of person who allows others to mold me.
You are my mother, you should know.
If you don't have anything to do on weekdays, please don't come to my house.
Don't act tough in front of my wife. I'll be the first one to dislike it.
Beili and Beifeng are still young, and I am their eldest brother, so I have the right to discipline them."
"Good of you, Ye Beixiu, you're waiting for me here! Let's wait and see. I want to see how you can live without the old man behind you to help you."
"We are not stupid. We have arms and legs. You don't need to worry about how we live.
But don't worry, even if I can't eat one day, I will sell my body to give you your retirement money, so that you don't worry about it."
Zhang Juexia was listening to the conversation between the mother and son outside the gate, and he was terrified, fearing that the two would not agree and start fighting again.
She was also very grateful that Ye Beixiu had always supported her.
When she hesitated whether to go into the house and try to persuade the mother and son, Pang Xiujuan had already walked out of the house angrily. When she saw Zhang Juexia, she started to curse, "You vixen, it's all because of you that Xiu'er and I are separated."
"If you still admit that you are my mother, then shut up."
Pang Xiujuan glared at Zhang Juexia and walked away.
When Zhang Juexia entered the room, Ye Beizheng was lying on the bed in a daze.
He saw Zhang Juexia enter the room and forced a smile. "What have you been doing? Are you tired?"
Zhang Juexia heard every word of the conversation between the mother and son. She held Ye Beixiu in her arms with heartache and said, "We are both in the same boat, so we should stick together for warmth from now on."
"Wife, I'm lucky to have you."
Zhang Juexia felt a chill on the back of his hand, and Ye Beixiu actually squeezed out a few tears, which showed that he was really sad.
"She's never liked me since she was little, I know... When I was little, I learned archery and hunting at a very young age to please her. My grandparents praised me, everyone praised me. Only she was lukewarm towards me."
"Okay, let's live a good life from now on. I'll love you, okay?"
Ye Beixiu burst out laughing, "I'm older than you, okay?"
Zhang Juexia helped him sit up and said, "I found a good thing in the mountains. Try it and see if it works."
She handed the wooden stick, which resembled a crutch, to Ye Beixiu as if offering a treasure. "How about it? Is this thing good for you now?"
Ye Beixiu looked it up and down and asked, "Can I walk with it?"
"Then try it. If you find it easy to use, I'll wrap it up for you with some rags. That way it will be more comfortable to use."
Ye Beixiu got out of bed carefully and took two steps with the help of the wooden stick. "My dear, I didn't expect this wooden stick to be so useful. From now on, I can go to the toilet by myself."
Zhang Juexia was a little dissatisfied. "Later, I'll go up the mountain and cut another one that's exactly the same. Using force on both sides will be better than using force on one side."
Zhang Juexia was a man of action. In the time it took him to finish a cup of tea, he had chopped another piece of wood.
She fixed it with a machete, took out her old clothes that she no longer wore, tore them into pieces, and wrapped them around the sticks. "This should make it much easier for you to use."
Ye Beixiu tried to take a few more steps, "Madam, exerting force on both sides like this is much more effective than just exerting force on one side just now."
"After that, you can be independent. But let's make a deal first: except for going to the toilet, you should avoid going out the rest of the time."
"For a better life in the future, I will listen to my wife."
After Zhang Juexia settled Ye Beixiu down, Wang Guilan came with Li Yiqun and Ye Suyun.
After the three of them came in, Zhang Juexia looked outside and asked, "Master didn't come today?"
"The old man can't sit still. He said he wanted to help Xiu'er go into the mountains to see if there are any prey in the traps he built. If there are, he will carry them back for you."
"No need to go to such trouble. Bei Xiu and I have already discussed it. Winter is coming soon, and the animals will hibernate. We don't plan to go back to the mountains."
"Your grandfather saw that the weather was good these days, so he thought there would always be some confused kids who took the bait. If we don't go, it would be a waste."
Li Yiqin advised Zhang Juexia, "We all know that you are filial to your grandparents. But you also have to think about it. The elders are also trying to do what they can for us. Otherwise, they are worried that we will dislike them."
