Chapter 350 Where did Erniu go?
She said this, but deep down she harbored some resentment towards her man.
What a good man Su Laosan is! Although he was a bit of a slacker before, the fact that he was willing to give his sister-in-law money and spend it on her son makes him better than many men!
Where can she find a brother-in-law who is willing to spend money on his wife's nephew?
And then there's Su Laosan's mother's family...
Sister-in-law Fang felt a burning hatred when she thought of Fang Erniu's words about supporting the next generation.
With two accomplished older brothers and sisters-in-law, a maternal uncle, a second brother, and the Yao family from the municipal government, and with such a family fortune, and Erniu being a doting nephew, she couldn't even imagine how much her son would benefit if Erniu married into the family!
Fang Jianhua has completely lost his mind!
He doesn't even care about his children for his own sake.
How could she have married such a selfish man?!
"Yes, I believe my sister-in-law."
The two sisters-in-law pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside. Fang Erniu was exhausted and went back to her room to sleep first. Fang's sister-in-law called the children to her side, closed the door, and briefly explained the situation.
Ask them, "What do you think?"
"Mom, if we move out, won't the villagers gossip about you and call you unfilial?" her eldest son asked, his face full of worry.
Upon hearing this, the second son nodded repeatedly, "Dog Egg's grandma loves to talk bad about people. She even said that the widow in our village is sleeping with some random guy..."
Sister-in-law Fang covered her second son's mouth and tapped him on the forehead, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense."
The second son rolled his eyes and nodded.
The youngest son clung to Fang's leg and said, "Wherever Mom goes, I'll go."
The other two nodded in agreement.
Sister-in-law Fang smiled and said, "Alright, then let's wait and see. If your grandparents still cause trouble... then we, the mother and daughters, will move out and live separately. Your mother and aunt will support you. Remember, from today onwards, your aunt will provide for your food, clothing, and shelter. When you grow up, you must not forget her kindness. If anyone dares to forget her kindness, I will break their legs!"
All three boys agreed.
Sister-in-law Fang smiled with relief, looking at her son, still holding some hope in her heart, hoping that Su Laosan truly loved his sister-in-law to the core, and that the two of them could get married.
Don't traditional operas often sing of lovers finally getting married?
On the other side, Fang Erniu went back to her room, unpacked her bundle, tidied her bed, and as she was putting the quilt on the bed, the jewelry box fell to the ground with a 'thud'.
Also falling down was a wad of scattered money: one hundred, fifty, ten, five, and two yuan notes, as well as a wad of five-jiao and two-jiao coins.
Fang Erniu was taken aback.
He squatted down, picked up the money, and put it on the table next to him. He then took the jewelry, sat on the bed, and opened it to look at what was inside.
Upon seeing the gold jewelry, her heart skipped a beat.
She stared at the hairpin with the phoenix in flight for a long time, lost in thought.
My mind was filled with images of laughing and joking with Su Laosan, being so tired I could barely stand up straight but feeling incredibly happy, and tears involuntarily streamed down my face again...
The next day, around lunchtime, my older cousin came to visit.
He handed Fang Erniu a piece of paper with a drawing of the house site she wanted.
"Thank you, eldest cousin. From now on, we'll leave them, a widow and her orphan, in your care."
Her older cousin looked at her, clearly not wanting to say anything more, sighed, waved, and left.
Fang Erniu didn't care; as long as her goal was achieved, that was enough.
Erniu's mother pushed Erniu's father to see what it was. Erniu's father said, "What could it be? Didn't she say last night that she asked the eldest son, Fang Jianguo, for the homestead? She probably gave it to him, otherwise Erniu wouldn't have said thank you."
"What? You gave it to me?"
Erniu's mother's expression changed, and she patted Erniu's father, "What will we do if Erniu really wants to move out with her and her children?"
Erniu's father turned to look at her.
"……yes."
Erniu's mother glared at him, "Hurry up and think of a way to stop them."
How do we stop them?
Erniu's father glared back, "Isn't it all your fault? You were spouting nonsense yesterday, which made Erniu want to separate from the family. Didn't you see how heartbroken she was, crying like she'd lost her parents..."
"Pooh!"
Erniu's mother slapped Erniu's father a few times and scolded him, "Are you sick? You're cursing yourself! Let me tell you, with how clingy your daughter is to Su Laosan, we might not be as heartbroken as she is when she cries!"
The two started arguing for no apparent reason.
Fang Erniu and Fang's sister-in-law both heard it, but neither of them paid any attention.
After lunch, the two sisters-in-law took their three children to see the land for building a house.
It wasn't the spot Fang Erniu chose, but the neighbors on all sides were quiet, hardworking people who didn't like to cause trouble, so it was quite suitable for Fang's sister-in-law to live with her three children.
The children jumped around and said that they would build a main room here, with Sister-in-law Fang living in the east room, and Sister-in-law Xiao in the west room. They would live in the east wing, and build a big communal bed so they could sleep together.
They were chattering away, looking very lively.
Sister-in-law Fang's face was full of smiles as she looked at her sons. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Fang Erniu was also smiling, but there was a sadness in her eyes that the smile could not hide.
She sighed inwardly.
I think it's good that my sister-in-law left, so that seeing an acquaintance won't remind me of sad things.
However, she never expected that her sister-in-law would leave without saying goodbye.
The incident started when the parents-in-law got up early in the morning and knocked on the door looking for their sister-in-law. They found the door ajar, and when they opened it, they found the house empty except for a note that read, "I'm gone."
The couple was absolutely furious!
The old woman shoved the note into her face as she was chopping vegetables, demanding, "Where's Erniu? Where did Erniu go?!"
When Sister-in-law Fang saw the words "I'm leaving" on the note, she was stunned and shook her head, saying she didn't know.
"How could you not know?!"
Erniu's mother's voice was shrill as she glared at her angrily, "These past few days she's been looking at us like we're her enemies. She can only say a few normal words to you. Tell me, did you try to get my daughter out to earn money to support your son? You jinx! First, you ruined my son's chances of getting a government job, and now you're trying to sow discord between me and my daughter. How could I have married someone like you..."
"Thump!"
Sister-in-law Fang slammed a cleaver onto the cutting board.
Looking at her coldly, he said, "Mom, you know better than anyone why your daughter sees you as an enemy. If you think you can live a peaceful life by pretending not to know, then go ahead and pretend!"
"Who pretended?" Erniu's mother was being stomped on the ground, her face contorted with rage.
Sister-in-law Fang scoffed, "...I can talk to Erniu normally because I have no grudge against her. I've given birth to and raised children for the Fang family and taken care of their every need. You don't appreciate my hard work, but Erniu does! Your son got his official position by himself, so don't try to pin it on me. I won't admit it!"
"You shameless bastard, you dare say I'm the one who brought you bad luck..."
Erniu's mother rolled up her sleeves, and Sister-in-law Fang gripped the kitchen knife tightly. The two faced off for a long time before Erniu's mother gritted her teeth and lowered her hand.
Sister-in-law Fang continued, "If you don't believe me, go to prison and ask your son. See if he hates me or you more!!"
