Seeing her youngest son's sickly appearance and somewhat dull eyes, Liu Mei blamed everything on her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, and her hatred for Liu Yaomei grew even stronger.
Even the most trivial matters can lead to a long argument.
Nowadays, Liu Mei doesn't care about saving face at all, but Liu Yaomei and Fu Bingqiang keep her in check, so the two are evenly matched.
Unfortunately, Fu Bingqiang wanted to save face, but he couldn't bear the fact that there were too many people in his family who were dragging him down.
Moreover, ever since the police came to the village and arrested Lao San's family, what face do they have left to say?
Fu Bingqiang, however, did not want to admit it, so he could only stay at home pretending to be sick and not go out. He could not see the strange looks from others or hear the gossip. After a while, he would naturally pretend that nothing had happened.
Fu Bingqiang's thinking was simple, but the commotion at home actually made him, who was pretending to be sick, really sick.
After lying in bed, he realized that none of the four sons and two daughters he had raised were able to serve him wholeheartedly.
Even Liu Yaomei, who served him tea and meals, kept muttering to herself.
The eldest son was originally a filial son, but now he has been driven away by his wife. Once he is no longer in her heart, how can she warm his heart again?
The second son's family was the most cunning. He had always thought that the second son was quiet and honest.
Unexpectedly, when the family divided the property, the second son's family not only secretly started cooking, but also took their wives and children to the village to obtain a plot of land for building a house far away from them.
They basically have no contact with the old house, but they speak very highly of Fang in the village branch.
When his parents become immobile and unable to work, he will take care of them in the same way his brothers would.
In other words, since Fu Bingqiang and Liu Yaomei are still able to move, he won't contribute a single penny.
Ever since the third brother gave the money allocated to them for the house to the eldest brother, he's been looking down on everyone at home.
Moreover, despite talking about separating the family, they still live in the old house and rely on their parents for food.
If they don't give it to me, I'll sneak into the kitchen in the middle of the night, break the lock on the kitchen cabinet, and then steal some food.
Liu Yaomei was furious and nagged him for a long time, but she couldn't really ignore her son's life or death.
In the end, they could only acquiesce to the fact that the third brother's family and their relatives would eat with the two elderly people.
However, the three brothers' family of five consisted of two adults who were cunning and lazy, and were simply not cut out for work.
The three younger ones are too young to do any work in the fields.
Sometimes they're mischievous and naughty, climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. We've scolded them and hit them, but after all that scolding and hitting, these tough kids just go back to what they were doing.
What saddened Fu Bingqiang the most was his fourth son. He and his wife had always loved and cherished their fourth son the most since he was a child.
The reason he withheld the money sent by his second brother's family, Hongxing, was because he wanted to find a wife from the county town for his fourth brother.
Unexpectedly, the fourth brother never returned after running away that day.
He asked his eldest brother to search in the county town, but the eldest brother was a blockhead and searched the whole county town but couldn't find it.
Fu Bingqiang thought something had happened to the fourth brother, and wanted to ask the second and third brothers to accompany the eldest brother to look for him again.
Unexpectedly, the second brother, who was usually so quiet that he wouldn't utter a word, glanced at him and said directly that the fourth brother was now with the Chen family.
The news that he had already married his girlfriend Chen Manlian left Fu Bingqiang completely stunned and incredulous.
