Chapter 51 Toffee

Jiang Fubao stood on tiptoe and stuffed a piece of candy into everyone's mouth.

The three sisters' cheeks puffed up instantly.

"Mmm, so sweet, cousin, is this candy? Where did you get it from?"

Sun Zhaodi had lived for eight years, and this was the first time she had eaten candy.

If she hadn't tasted the wild fruits in the mountains, she wouldn't have known what sweetness tasted like.

However, no matter how delicious the wild fruit was, it could not compare to the candy in her mouth.

Sun Zhaodi's slightly wrinkled brows relaxed at this moment.

A feeling of happiness lingered in her heart, exuding a sweet feeling.

"This is milk candy, is it delicious? Fubao hid it secretly, sister, you guys don't tell anyone else, if my brothers knew, they would definitely pester me for it, so you have to keep it a secret."

Jiang Fubao made up an excuse to get away with it.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone. Thank you, Sister Fubao." Sun Zhaodi quickly closed her mouth and nodded repeatedly.

"I won't tell you either. Sister Fubao, you are so nice."

Sun Lai Di's eyes are crescent-shaped like the moon, and she has natural smiling lips. If she had some weight on her body, she would definitely be a delicate little beauty.

"Thank you, Sister Fubao."

Sun Simei also followed her two sisters' example and thanked Jiang Fubao.

She is three years old, the same as Jiang Fubao, only she was born two months earlier.

Jiang Fubao waited until the three sisters from the Sun family finished eating the candies before returning to the front yard with them.

At this time in the main hall, the adults had finished their meal and started to clear the dishes.

Jiang Fubao sat back on the bench, holding the bowl and eating the food that was almost cold.

"Zhao Di, bring your two sisters in."

In the main room, Zhang Jinlan shouted to her granddaughter.

The three sisters of the Sun family walked in obediently.

Jiang Fubao also followed with a bowl in his hand.

When it comes to eating melons, she has always been at the forefront.

"Good boy, have you eaten enough?" Zhang Jinlan asked with tears in her eyes.

I haven't seen my granddaughters for a long time, and they all look thin.

So before eating, she put a few more eggs into her granddaughter's bowl.

"I'm full."

Sun Zhaodi nodded heavily. She ate particularly full today.

Rice porridge and eggs were delicious, and the toffee was even more delicious. Until now, the sweetness in her mouth has not completely dissipated. After she finished speaking, she couldn't help licking the sugar residue in the gap between her teeth.

He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"My dear, pack a bunch of food and the remaining eggs in a bamboo basket. Let Sanhe take it back to her husband's house later. Sanhe, the children are still young. Give them more food on weekdays. Don't starve them. If they are hungry, they will get sick easily.

Besides, we have raised them for so many years and they have eaten so much food. If something happens to them, wouldn’t it be a big loss? If we raise them well, we can get some money for the bride price, right, mother-in-law?"

Zhang Jinlan was criticizing Zhou Xiufen in every way she spoke.

And based on what she said before.

To shut her mouth.

"I understand, Mom." Jiang Sanhe's eyes also turned red.

I haven't been back to my parents' home for a long time.

The last time I saw my family was not long after my little daughter was born.

My little daughter is three years old now.

But her mother still loves her so much.

"Yes, yes, mother-in-law, you are right. Our family is poor and there is not enough food. We have to starve the children. Don't worry, I will treat the three children well in the future. Although they are money-losing goods, I have raised them for so many years and I have feelings for them. Don't worry. Sanhe, take the children and go home."

Zhou Xiufen has always been smart, so she naturally understood what Zhang Jinlan meant.

But she didn't get angry.

A man who eats someone's food should be grateful; a man who receives someone's gifts should be grateful.

She has both.

But you have to put on a smiling face to coax her back.

"Our family is not well off, and I can't help you much. My child, come back often to see me. If anyone bullies you, go back to my parents' house, and I will let your brothers and sisters support you!"

Zhang Jinlan held her daughter's hand and chattered non-stop.

The tears that had accumulated in my eyes also fell.

Zhou Xiufen, who was standing by, had her eyes almost blazing with anger.

Three years ago, she gave birth to a daughter because of her daughter-in-law's third pregnancy.

She was so angry that she didn't even let her daughter-in-law sit during the confinement period.

So much so that the Jiang family came to Sunjia Village to make trouble and beat her son until his face was bruised and swollen. Even she was slapped twice in the face by Zhang Jinlan.

The things of the past have long disappeared like a passing cloud.

But the anger in my heart is still there.

Zhang Jinlan's words just now reminded her of the scene of that day.

Zhou Xiufen tried hard to control her anger.

She turned around and left the main room with her granddaughters.

Sun Fu and his son Sun Tiesuo also followed him out.

"Here, take this half tael of silver, and don't tell your mother-in-law. Don't be as stupid as before, okay? I support your divorce in my heart. If you come back and want to remarry, I will find you a good family. If you don't want to get married, just stay at your parents' home and I will support you for the rest of your life."

Zhang Jinlan took advantage of them going out.

He quickly stuffed a piece of silver into his daughter's hand.

Afraid that she would shake out the silver.

Didn't forget to give instructions.

"Mom, I've told you many times that I won't get divorced. If I get divorced, what will happen to the children? My grandson's family won't let me take the children away. If I'm still here, they can still have food to eat. If I get divorced, my grandson's husband will remarry, and the children will have a hard time living under the care of their stepmother.

Besides, I don't believe that I can't give birth to a son. Mother, wait for my good news. Although my mother-in-law is a bit mean, she didn't starve me. If I marry someone else, will it be different? I still have to give birth to a child. What if I can't give birth to a boy? Do I have to divorce again? Besides, can you support me for the rest of my life? Unless I die before you."

Jiang Sanhe's words.

Jiang Fubao, who was sitting nearby and eavesdropping, was greatly shocked.

"You little rascal, what are you talking about? Do you want your mother to die before her child is born? I will be mad at you sooner or later. Why do you have to go against your grandson's family? After the divorce, you can go back to your parents' home. At most, you can just stay single and visit your child from time to time.

You say you are doing this for the children, but are they doing well? They are all as skinny as refugees, and as a mother you don’t protect them, you only think about giving birth to a son. If I were like you, do you think you would have grown up like this?”

Zhang Jinlan looked at her daughter with disappointment.

After being influenced by what she saw and heard for a long time, she seemed to have become a different person.

"Mother! My grandson is the only son in his family. If I don't give him a son, his family will be extinct. Who will carry on the family line? Mother, you have so many sons, of course you are not afraid, but I am not. I won't tell you, my in-laws are still waiting for me outside. Mother, I will leave and marry Jin, and then I will bring the children back to see you."

Jiang Sanhe held the silver coins in his hand and left the main room without looking back.

No matter how upset Zhang Jinlan felt.

"Grandma, don't cry."

Jiang Fubao hugged grandma's legs and comforted her.
