After the four of them had eaten their fill, they found a guesthouse to stay in.
The two sisters, dressed in brand-new clothes, soon fell into a sweet sleep.
Su Xiumei brought over a basin of hot water and placed it in front of Meng Shuyun, saying softly, "Mother, soak your feet and relax."
As she spoke, she carefully observed Meng Shuyun's expression. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke up: "Mother, how is Xiangnan's leg? Has he seen a doctor?"
Meng Shuyun slowly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on Su Xiumei's face, and told her about the current situation at home, especially Su Xiangnan's situation, without holding back anything she knew.
"Now that they've all separated their families, I can't interfere in what those brothers do."
As for Su Xiangnan's leg, you saw it too, it's broken.
Xiumei, if you're willing to help him, you should first consider your own abilities.
As the old saying goes, to help others, you must first help yourself; we must respect everyone's destiny.
Don't think too much. It's getting late, and you've had a long day. Go to bed and rest.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiumei blushed and thought to herself, "How did Mother see through my thoughts?"
She quickly responded, picked up the foot basin, and hurriedly walked towards the door.
Su Xiumei was washing her feet at the door when she suddenly stepped on something.
She looked down and, lo and behold, it was a dollar!
She nervously picked up the money, looking around, but there wasn't a soul in sight.
Su Xiumei was overjoyed. She secretly stuffed the money into her pocket, thinking to herself, "I've really hit the jackpot today, finding money twice in a row!"
It seems that having one's mother around brings good fortune.
The next morning, the four of them set off on their journey home.
It was already 3 p.m. when we arrived in town.
Meng Shuyun was thinking about her two petite and adorable grandsons at home, so she quickly bought a lot of groceries and rushed home without stopping for a moment.
It's rare for the mother and her two daughters to be able to gather together like this, so tonight we absolutely have to cook a good meal and let everyone enjoy themselves.
Xiaoli and Xiaojuan saw the vegetables their grandmother had bought, including fish, meat, and a shiny roast duck, and their mouths watered.
Just smelling the aroma was enough to satisfy the two little ones. They stayed by Meng Shuyun's side, unwilling to leave her side for even a moment, just to inhale the fragrance a few more times.
"Grandma, it smells so good! Is this roast duck delicious?"
"Grandma, Grandma, what does the roast duck taste like?"
Before they even got home, Meng Shuyun smiled and stuffed a duck leg into each of the two sisters' hands, saying, "You two little gluttons, eat up first." Then, she tore off a duck wing and handed it to Su Xiumei, "Here, eat up."
Su Xiumei looked at the duck wings handed to her, her eyes welled up, and tears streamed down her face.
My mother is so good to me!
She secretly vowed in her heart that she would be even more filial to her mother in the future.
Su Xiumei, fighting back tears, took out a one-yuan coin she had found yesterday from her pocket and handed it to Meng Shuyun: "Mom, this is the money I found yesterday, it's all for you. Waaah, you're so good to me..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but sob again.
In the Zhou family, the mother and her two children could only barely afford to eat some pork when Zhou Xianye returned home.
But Zhou Xianye left the next day, and all the good things he bought were locked up by his mother-in-law, who secretly ate them herself.
Meng Shuyun watched the mother and her two daughters eating with tears in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
They were so moved just because I gave them some food.
It seems I should buy them more delicious food in the future, lest some young lad try to lure them away with a few small favors.
Meng Shuyun pushed the money back and said, "Keep this money as your private savings. It will give you some financial security if anything happens in the future. Xiulan and Xiuju also have their own private savings, so you should too."
Hearing this, Su Xiumei was deeply moved, tears streaming down her face. She hugged Meng Shuyun tightly, crying even harder, "Mother, thank you. I will definitely take good care of you from now on, and Xiaoli and Xiaojuan will also take good care of you..."
"Grandma, Xiaojuan will buy you lots and lots of delicious food in the future."
"Grandma, I'll buy you a whole truckload of roast ducks in the future."
The two sisters also hugged Meng Shuyun's legs tightly, expressing their loyalty in their childish voices.
Meng Shuyun smiled and gently tapped the two sisters on the nose, saying, "Okay, Grandma is waiting, you two clever little devils."
Just then, a car sped past them, kicking up a cloud of dust that covered their faces.
Meng Shuyun reacted quickly and protected the two sisters.
Su Xiumei and her two children's first reaction was to protect the duck meat in their hands.
Meng Shuyun almost burst out laughing when she saw this.
"How rude!" Meng Shuyun spat, and as she was thinking, she suddenly realized that the car looked familiar.
Upon closer inspection, isn't this Ye Jianguo's car?
Why is he here?
Meng Shuyun was extremely anxious and quickened her pace to get home.
Before I even reached my doorstep, my neighbor called out to me.
"Oh, Aunt Meng, you're finally back! You don't know, do you? Your house caught fire yesterday, and everything was burned to the ground."
"What?! Our house burned down!" Meng Shuyun's eyes widened in horror. She grabbed her neighbor and asked anxiously, "Are my Xiulan, Xiuju, and my two grandsons alright?"
"Everyone is alright, they're all at the village chief's wife's house. It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Meng Shuyun quickly thanked her neighbor and rushed towards the village chief's house.
Before we even got close, we could hear the sharp, piercing voice of Ye Jianguo's mother, Old Lady Zhao.
“Xiulan, you should come back with me! Look, your family home has been burned down by the fire. They definitely won't be able to take care of you and your children anymore. Where will you go then? Jianguo and I came here specifically to pick you up. Just come back with us.”
Ye Jianguo chimed in, "Xiulan, I know I was wrong. This family really can't do without you."
When you're not home, the house is a complete mess.
I've already kicked Liu Xiaomeng out, and I've brought the children back for you to raise. You have plenty of breast milk; you'll definitely be able to raise all three children to be healthy and chubby.
"That's right, that's right. Your three sons will all be filial to you from now on, and you'll have endless blessings to enjoy. Just stay home and take care of the children, and you don't need to worry about anything else." Old Mrs. Zhao forced a smile and coaxed Su Xiulan with kind words.
Su Xiulan watched coldly, unmoved.
Zhang Laidi couldn't hold back any longer. She jumped out and pointed at Zhao Laotai's nose, scolding, "How can you be so shameless, old lady?"
When we brought Xiulan back, why didn't you come to pick her up? Now that she's almost out of confinement, you come to our door demanding her back.
What kind of crazy ideas are you up to? Do you think no one can see through them?
"The abacus beads flew into my face! How shameless!"
"You're already divorced, what are you doing here? Don't you have enough face to be embarrassed by coming here?"
