Chapter 402: Stepfather is also a father

"Mom, yes, I'm sorry. I didn't get the money. My mom kicked me out."

Jiang Sanhe's back was straight at her mother's house, but it bent down the moment she returned home.

Even if she gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Sun family.

I am still afraid of my mother-in-law.

"What? You didn't get it? What are you doing back without money?" Zhou Xiufen was furious.

She threw away the rag in her hand and glared at Jiang Sanhe fiercely.

"Grandma, I'm hungry. My grandmother's house is not good at all. They don't give me meat or cakes. I hate them. Grandma, I want to eat chicken custard and meat. Can you make it for me?"

Without waiting for Zhou Xiufen to start scolding, Sun Guangzong, whose stomach was growling with hunger, hugged her legs and started to act coquettishly.

"What? It's already this late and my grandson hasn't even eaten? Pah—" Zhou Xiufen slapped Jiang Sanhe in the face.

"Look at what you have done. You can't even do such a small thing. What else can you do? I asked you to go and get money, but you got nothing back. Not only did you leave my grandson hungry, but if he gets hurt from hunger, I will never forgive you!"

Jiang Sanhe knew she was in the wrong, and didn't dare to say a word after being beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law.

"I'll settle the score with you later, my dear grandson. Come on, grandma will cook for you. There's still some porridge left in the pot. Have some first."

There is no meat at home.

Zhou Xiufen could only take out the only two eggs in the cupboard.

Make into custard.

Seeing that there was no meat, Sun Guangzong pouted his lips and said, "Grandma, where is the meat? Why is there no meat? My grandmother's family cooked meat, I want to eat it too."

"My dear grandson, eat together. It's all thanks to your mother. Otherwise, you would have eaten all the meat. Your mother is incompetent. It's pitiful for us, our son, to be hungry during the New Year. What a waste! Go and chop the firewood in the backyard."

There is a world of difference between the way Zhou Xiufen talks to her grandson and the way she talks to Jiang Sanhe.

Since his grandson was weaned, Jiang Sanhe's income has been declining sharply.

As a result, she became skin and bones.

The skin on his face is thick and looks particularly old.

Even Sun Husband was too lazy to touch her.

Of course I won't help her.

"I know, Mom. I'll go right away." It was cold, and the firewood was frozen hard.

Jiang Sanhe was in the snow, holding up an axe and chopping the snow one piece at a time.

The moment the axe chopped down, the force bounced back.

Jiang Sanhe's hands were numb from the shock, but in fact there was no shortage of firewood at home.

It's just that Zhou Xiufen wanted to teach her a lesson.

Jiang Sanhe began to resent her mother in her heart.

Zhang Jinlan didn't know, she was having lunch with her family.

"My dear granddaughter, come here, you asked for the braised pork. Grandma cooked it for you until it was a mess. But it must be delicious if you eat it with rice. Come and try it."

She picked up a piece of braised pork with more lean meat and gave it to Jiang Fubao with her chopsticks and said with narrowed eyes.

"Thank you, grandma. Wow, it's delicious. Grandma's cooking skills are the best. No wonder my cooking is so delicious. It turns out I cook like grandma."

Jiang Fubao patted the horse.

Zhang Jinlan, who was originally in a bad mood, was made to smile happily.

Without Jiang Sanhe, the troublemaker.

The house is full of laughter and joy.

Jiang Zhuzi, who brought his son to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year's greetings, also had dinner at his stepfather's house.

"We ate late today, so you must be hungry. Come, Kang'er, have a piece of meat and see if it's delicious what grandpa cooked." Zhou Changgu picked up a piece of fat and lean meat for Jiang Kang.

Jiang Kang was very happy.

"Well, okay, let's eat." Jiang Fubao took him to play with the children in the village.

Jiang Kang's personality has become more lively.

"Hey, Kang'er, you're talking now. That's good. You should talk more in the future. If you keep silent all the time, your grandma and your dad will be worried about you."

Zhou Changgu widened his eyes.

This was the first time he heard his grandson speak.

He thought that this cheap grandson was a mute fool.

His daughter-in-law is worried, and he misses her too.

When Jiang Kang spoke, tears welled up in her eyes with excitement.

So does Liu Xiang'er.

She wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, okay, it's good that you've spoken. Our Kang'er is not a fool, not a fool..."

"Alright, why are you crying on New Year's Day? Kang'er will definitely become more and more like a normal person in the future. Don't worry, just wait for him to grow up, get married, and give you a great-grandson. Jiaojiao, you also eat meat. Jiaojiao likes to eat lean meat, so daddy will get rid of the fat for you."

After coaxing his wife, he started to pick up food for his daughter.

Zhou Changgu felt extremely happy.

A few years ago, he was still a bachelor.

Now I have a wife and a daughter.

Life is complete.

Jiang Zhuzi, who was standing by, looked at them with some envy.

"Son, are you still thinking about that bitch? She's gone, so forget it. Even if she comes back, we can't keep her. I understand that a simple life is the best. I asked you to marry someone who could make a living, but you refused and insisted on marrying her. Look, her appearance shows that she is not someone who can live a peaceful life.

I feel sorry for you and Kang'er. How about, after the New Year, your father and I can pool our money and find you a new wife? Kang'er can't be without a mother, right? A stepmother is also a mother, but you must choose a good one, not one with bad character, and she must be good to our Kang'er."

When Liu Xiang'er said this, she glanced at Zhou Changgu.

Seeing that he looked uncertain, he continued speaking.

"Mom, I don't want to get married. Life at home is hard, and if I marry someone, she will suffer with me. Forget it. Now I just want to bring Kang'er up peacefully, save some money, and find him a wife. I will be satisfied. As for me, that's it."

Jiang Zhuzi shook his head.

Refused.

"Forget it, it's up to you. Father, when you leave later, give him two taels of silver. When he earns money, he will return it to you. How can you live without land? You can only make a living by renting land. Use the money to buy some land, or do some small business. Don't go against the Jiang family like mother did before. You have to listen to the clan leader, understand?"

Liu Xiang'er, who married for the second time, felt loved.

The whole person has changed.

The hostility disappeared, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.

She lives a happy life now, the only thing she can't let go of is her son and grandson.

"Okay, I'll get it later." Zhou Changgu was not unhappy at all, he agreed immediately.

Although there is still three taels of silver left in the family.

But there's nothing wrong with giving it to a cheap son.

As for money, if you lose it, you can just earn it again.

As long as my wife is happy.

Zhou Changgu thought in his heart.

"I don't want it, mother. I can't take your and father's money. My sister is so young and you still have to support her. It's hard for you to live. I will do more odd jobs and earn more. I will definitely not let Kang'er go hungry. Don't worry."

Jiang Zhuzi waved his hands repeatedly and refused to take it.

"Okay, since your mother has decided this, she must have thought it through. Just accept it. It's just part-time work and your body can't handle it."

Zhou Changgu went into the house to get the silver without waiting for him to refuse.

When the father and son left Zhoujia Village.

Jiang Zhuzi had two taels of silver in his arms. He was holding his son with his right hand and carrying a bamboo basket in his left hand.

There are meat and vegetables left over from today's meal.
