"Son, are you really going to send me away?" Wu Xiulian was supported by Xu Xiang and walked home.
Xu Xiang looked at his mother, holding back his complaints, yet feeling sorry for her.
He is the eldest in the family. As far as he can remember, he knows how tired his mother was, raising two brothers alone.
Suddenly, other people were carrying so much food, but we only had a little.
In order to prevent the food from being eaten up all at once, the mother would go to the fields to dig wild vegetables at dawn, and then she would chop wood to prepare meals for the brothers at night.
He works so hard just to give his mother a good life. What has he done wrong?
Why did mother tolerate Xiaocai so much? Did she really marry the wrong person?
But Yang Cai was so good back then, and her bright and brilliant smile completely occupied his heart.
He knew very well what kind of person Yang Cai was: simple, kind, and filial to her mother. No matter what the day was like, she had never complained to him.
The only thing is that these women didn't give him a son.
He began to understand what had caused the current situation.
Looking at his mother's graying hair, Xu Xiang sighed deeply, and more importantly, he dared not think about it. Xu Xiang smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.
"Mom, you just live well with Fuzi. I will send you living expenses, and you can live peacefully in Fuzi's home in your old age." Xu Xiang said calmly.
"What about your brother? Fifteen yuan is not enough for his family to live on. If I go with him, there will be one more mouth to feed.
You know your brother is in good health. And you know your two nephews, they are eating their parents’ money. This family can survive with only 15 yuan.”
Wu Xiulian knew she had to leave, but her son's job was also saved.
She should have thought about taking more money before leaving, but she did that.
The eldest son is in the army and starves to death. The younger son will be fine.
My body has been weak since I was a child, and now I am in great danger. Can she think about her younger son? It’s all meat that falls off the body, and brothers always have to help each other out.
"How much did you give them last month?" Xu Xiang turned his head to look at his mother.
Wu Xiulian heard this and said, "Before this, we paid them 25 to 10 yuan more each month. Just follow this standard."
Xu Xiang felt cold and sad listening to his mother's words.
"I give them a subsidy of 15 yuan for their family of four. Do you think that's enough?
How do we survive on 15 yuan a month, with 6 people in my family, including you and me, and 1 child?
Mother, my hands and backs are all made of flesh. How could you have chosen to go to Ge Jiu's nest? You really hurt your son." Xu Xiang sat there in a sluggish manner.
"You don't have much money here, but do you want me to go out to find food? I'll be hungry when you come back one day and feed you with coarse food. It seems that I have to work hard to please you." Wu Xiulian said with a wronged look on her face.
"I didn't get to eat the bran and vegetables, and neither did you. I guess they were all given to Yang Cainiang and the other two." Xu Xiang asked weakly.
"How can she eat well as a woman? A bunch of little girls will get married sooner or later. What's the point of eating so well? Do you want me to continue to eat coarse food at my age?
When I was young, I ate so many wild vegetables to raise you brothers. Who did I complain to? "
Wu Xiulian thought she was right. She ate so much when she was young and still gave birth to a son. She even ate tree bark and leaves during the famine. How could she eat so much and her daughter-in-law could eat so much?
"Let's talk about this. Yang Cai is pregnant now. I can go back whenever you get a divorce. It just so happens that your cousin is still single. If I go back to her house, she won't have a man.
Go and get a divorce from Yang Cai as soon as possible so that I can bring your cousin here."
Wu Xiulian suddenly thought of her niece and slapped her thigh.
"Your cousin gave birth to two sons. Even if you give birth to sons, you should raise them as your own. If you are wrong, they will definitely take good care of you and support you until the end of your life.
Those two children have lost their father. You should take them in as your own and treat them well. This is more important than anything else."
Wu Xiulian said, "I have thought about it. My niece is definitely better than a hen that lays eggs. I will save money to be filial to her. I feel much better when I think about it."
Xu Xiang looked at his mother blankly and said, "I will send you away tomorrow. The pension will still be 15 yuan a month. The pensions given to parents by others in our team are only 10 or 15 yuan."
I think giving 15 yuan is the most filial thing I can do. As for my cousin, even if I had an affair with Yang Cai, I would still marry a widow with two children." Xu Xiang stood up and prepared to go out.
"Please pack your own clothes."
"Stop right there. What do you mean? Your uncle's hair has turned white with worry when your cousin came back like that. Have you forgotten that your uncle gave you fish to eat when you were a child?"
Fifteen yuan, Xiangzi, you are so rude. Fuzi and I are your family. How can you divide it up?" Wu Xiulian stopped Xu Xiang and asked him to leave.
Xu Xiang just stared at Wu Xiulian coldly, without any expression.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm your mother." Wu Xiulian yelled.
"If you don't even have fifteen dollars, then keep making trouble. I'm going to go see Yang Cai." Xu Xiang walked out and then he remembered that his little daughter was still in the room.
I turned around to look at my little daughter, who was sleeping soundly, and the oval cookies in the bowl next to her.
He turned around and got his daughter an enamel cup of water and placed it on the edge of the kang so that the child could reach it when she was thirsty.
Wu Xiulian stood at the door with a dark face, "You just want to force me to death."
Xu Xiang walked out without looking back, "If you really want to leave, I will accompany you."
Looking at the empty gate, Wu Xiulian sat down on the threshold of the second gate.
Lin Weiwan returned home, locked the door, and went straight into the room to take a shower and change clothes.
The smell of blood on my body was too strong, so I washed myself and grabbed some food from the room to solve the problem.
I fed the chickens before leaving the space, and the number of chickens in the space increased from one to ten.
Lin Weiwan casually collected various grasses from outside and planted them in the space.
This way, even if you occasionally forget to feed the chicken, it will not starve to death.
The one advantage of space is that it can be used to grow vegetables, grains, and even grass.
The roosters and hens are separated into two areas to prevent the chickens from laying eggs and the eggs from laying chicks, and your space becomes a chicken farm. Occasionally, you can kill two for a snack, and there is still plenty of food.
After leaving the space, Lin Weiwan glanced at the time. It was already half past four.
I quickly looked around and decided to make noodles and braised tomato noodles tonight.
As soon as the noodles were out of the pot, someone knocked on the door. Lin Weiwan then remembered that she had locked the door and hurried to open it.
"It smells so good." The fragrance in the room made Ye Jibai's index finger excited.
