With Song Ping adding fuel to the fire, the two brothers finally broke up.
Faced with his biological mother who kept calling out "Wuwuwu", Ma Jianguo was so anxious that he had no choice but to look at Ma Fuguo's room.
When the family was divided, the food was divided into three parts, and Ma Fuguo's part was in the house.
It’s just for emergency, I’ll pay it back later.
After comforting himself in this way, Ma Jianguo kicked open Ma Fuguo's door, and then found to his disappointment that Ma Fuguo's room was empty and there was no food at all.
"Oh, I thought you were so capable. Selling everything you have sounds good, but if you have the ability, just do it on your own. Don't target your brothers..." Hearing the noise, Song Ping started to criticize and blame for a while.
It took Ma Jianguo a long while to realize from Song Ping's laughter that during the days when he was taking care of her in the hospital, Ma Fuguo had taken time to come back and brought his share of the food to the town.
The second and third brothers are truly heartless and ruthless!
Ma Jianguo was filled with anger and disappointment, but in the end it all turned into powerlessness and sadness in facing reality.
In the end, Ma Jianguo shamelessly went to his neighbor's house to borrow a handful of rice, cooked porridge and fed it to Ma Jinhua, and ate two radishes himself.
After serving the remaining porridge to eat in the evening, Ma Jianguo left home and went to the Qingwan Lake, where he rowed his own small boat to go fishing.
It’s a pity that after a busy day on the lake, we didn’t gain anything.
When he returned home, Ma Jianguo was left with another mess.
She was covered in feces and urine, and was hungry. Her body was in pain because the painkiller had worn off, and Ma Jinhua was crying out "wuwuwu", sounding very miserable.
Without even taking a bite, Ma Jianguo started to clean up.
After being busy for more than an hour, Ma Jianguo, who was tired and hungry, went to the kitchen to look around, but found nothing, so he could only continue to eat the radish.
In the middle of the night, Ma Jianguo felt hungry and cold, and while tossing and turning, he heard Ma Jinhua's "woooo" calling.
He peed on himself again!
Ma Jianguo accepted his fate and went to the kitchen to boil some water. Since his thermos had been sold, he had to boil hot water every time he needed it.
After the water heated up, because there was no coal lamp, they could only use a piece of firewood for lighting. Ma Jianguo went into the house to change clothes and wipe Ma Jinhua.
After finishing, he returned to the room. Ma Jianguo, who was cold all over, had no desire to sleep. He finally made it to dawn, but another problem arose - there was no rice!
Ma Jianguo had no choice but to go to the neighbor's house on the other side. Unfortunately, the old lady from this neighbor's house had a bad relationship with Ma Jinhua and directly refused him.
After running to several houses and being so embarrassed that he almost buried his head in the ground, Ma Jianguo finally begged for a handful of rice.
After all, spring plowing has not started yet, and the harvest is still a long way off, so everyone has to focus on their own food first. What's more, everyone in the village knows the situation in Ma Jian's country, which is a bottomless pit!
It’s hard to be a good person, so it’s better not to be a good person from the beginning!
When Ma Jianguo returned home with the rice, before he even entered the yard, he heard a hoarse and painful "woohoo" sound coming from the main house.
When he entered the room and saw Ma Jinhua's disheveled appearance, he inexplicably felt a surge of powerlessness throughout his body. His vision went dark and Ma Jianguo staggered and almost fell to the ground.
After taking a deep breath for several minutes, Ma Jianguo first fed Ma Jinhua a painkiller, then left the room and went into the kitchen. After cooking the rice, he boiled some water and went back to wash and clean Ma Jinhua.
During this period, Ma Jianguo felt dizzy and unsteady several times, and he relied entirely on his willpower to keep going.
After cleaning up, he entered the kitchen and smelled the faint aroma of rice. Ma Jianguo couldn't help swallowing.
He is really hungry!
I'm so hungry that I'm seeing stars!
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ma Jianguo followed his heart and took a step forward. He poured himself a small half bowl and started drinking it on the spot.
When the hot porridge entered his stomach, Ma Jianguo felt so warm that he suddenly felt like he was alive again.
However, this feeling only lasted for two minutes. My unfilled stomach was rumbling, as if shouting, "Drink more, more!"
Just when he was hesitating, a "woooo" sound came, with obvious urging.
Shaking his head, Ma Jianguo quickly served the porridge to Ma Jinhua.
After eating, Ma Jianguo was carrying the bowl back to the kitchen when he met Song Ping who had returned from the vegetable garden behind the house.
Without even looking at her, Song Ping raised her chin high and said coldly, "I've counted the crops in my vegetable garden. If there's anything missing... hmph!"
Knowing that he was being told this, Ma Jianguo left in silence. There were only a few radishes left in his vegetable garden.
In order to make a living, Ma Jianguo, feeling worried, went out fishing again.
Perhaps there is always a way out. That day, Ma Jianguo was lucky enough to catch a big fish weighing more than five kilograms, and exchanged it with the villagers for five kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of potatoes.
Fifteen kilograms of food is enough to last for ten days.
The next day, after having a full meal, Ma Jianguo felt full of energy and went to the lake with great enthusiasm. However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find his own boat.
After asking others, I found out that the boat was rowed away by Ma Qiangguo.
The small fishing boat could not be divided and belonged to three brothers, who took turns using it day by day.
With the mentality of "I can't suffer any loss in eating", and jealous of the big fish, Song Ping sent Ma Qiangguo to go fishing early in the morning today.
Ma Jianguo had no choice but to return home empty-handed.
When he got home, Ma Jianguo was greeted by Ma Jinhua's cries again. Although he didn't have to worry about food for a few days, a new problem arose.
The painkillers are gone.
When I was discharged from the hospital, it had only been three days since I started taking the medicine. The Ma Jin Hua medicine hurt almost at the touch, and I couldn't live without painkillers.
Thinking about the unpaid medical bills, Ma Jianguo didn't have the nerve to go to the hospital to get medicine. During the day, whenever she washed or ate, or was touched, Ma Jinhua howled in pain, and the sound was particularly shrill.
Apart from crying his heart out, Ma Jianguo was completely helpless and could only console her with a guilty conscience, "Mom, it's all because of your son's incompetence. Just bear with it, it will pass."
In the following days, Ma Jianguo got up early every day, and after serving Ma Jinhua, he either went fishing on the lake or walked to the town to find temporary work that was paid by the day.
Fish cannot be replenished every day, and daily temporary jobs cannot be found every time.
By working hard from morning till night every day, Ma Jianguo could barely survive by starving.
Day after day, Ma Jianguo worked harder, ate less, slept less, and was under great mental pressure. He lost weight rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He was in a daze, exhausted both physically and mentally. Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Ma Jianguo couldn't help but wonder, could he really make it through?
Is he wrong?
But he, what should he do!
That was his daughter, he couldn't be as heartless as his second and third brothers!
But he was really tired. The weight of a thousand pounds was so heavy that it almost broke his bones! The courage on his shoulders was too heavy. The filial piety in Ma Jianguo's heart slowly faded under the hardships of reality...
