Chapter 108 Fat Five Family
After dinner and a quick tidy up of the house, it was already eight o'clock.
Song Rui was already sleepy.
He lay back in bed feeling tired, slapped back someone's dirty hands, and went to sleep with his arms around Nan Nan.
But at this time, the Song family was in a gloomy mood.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, which girl doesn’t bring something back home?
Unfortunately, neither of his two daughters came back.
Song Fu still looked sick, lying motionless on the kang.
When Qian Ermei saw his behavior, she became furious.
"I've been to the hospital, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong with you. Why are you pretending to be dying?"
"If I hadn't married a useless, sickly person like you, I, Qian Ermei, wouldn't have had to trade my daughter for money! How could my own daughter hate me, her mother? It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"
Qian Ermei was so angry that she tried to hit him, and Song Baohe hurried to stop her when he saw her.
"Mom, what are you doing? It's not easy for Dad these years. If you have the strength, go and fight with Song Rui and Song Hua. Stop bullying my dad."
Song Baohe was also feeling annoyed.
He stole gold jewelry twice but was not caught.
But the county police department posted a notice.
Now everyone in the county knows that a thief who stole gold jewelry has recently appeared.
Fewer people are wearing gold jewelry when going out, and their necks and hands are all bare.
The money I had was all spent on buying New Year’s goods.
I thought I couldn’t go to my father-in-law’s house empty-handed on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
He has been wandering the streets since the beginning of the year, but has never found an opportunity.
Once, he was almost discovered, but luckily he was smart.
I have no money, so I went to my father-in-law’s house today.
Carrying those few things, he looked extremely pitiful compared to Liu Jie's family.
On the way back, Liu Jia had a falling out with him.
He threatened to beat the child.
Song Baohe had to coax her a lot before he finally managed to get her back home.
Liu Jia said.
If he couldn't bring home 5,000 yuan within a month, she would beat the child and divorce him.
Song Baohe was so worried that he wanted to jump into the river.
The old couple is still making a lot of noise which is annoying.
Qian Ermei really had nothing to say to her son.
I didn't get angry even when I was stopped and pushed away.
He just continued to curse Song Fu who was silent.
She has lost all her old face.
In the village, she has always been a powerful person and has never suffered any loss.
She also felt that she was no worse than other old women in the village.
When she gave birth to two girls in a row and no son, she was ridiculed openly and secretly.
After finally having a son, she finally felt more confident.
In the past two months, I have been ridiculed because of these trivial things at home.
Those who used to be at odds with her and those who had fought with her.
Recently, people have been using matters concerning her two daughters to hurt her feelings.
Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year.
I guess those women in the village have been staring at her door since early morning.
But they really complained as they did.
After scolding Song Fu, he started scolding Song Rui and Song Hua.
It seemed as if the whole family were bastards who persecuted and bullied her.
Only she is the poor innocent victim.
As he was cursing, Song Fu started snoring.
When I looked up again, I didn't know when my son left.
Qian Ermei's throat seemed to be blocked by yellow mud and she couldn't utter a single sound.
Finally, he raised his hand, turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Song Baohe couldn't count how many times he had left home late at night since he got married.
He finally married the beautiful wife he had been dreaming of, but life was not what he had imagined.
There is a small quarrel every two days and a big quarrel every three days.
The quarrel became so intense that Liu Jia refused to let him into the house.
She was pregnant, and he didn't dare to hit her.
I could only hide outside obediently.
His parents are always restless.
It seemed like there was no place for him at home.
Song Baohe knew that the quarrel was all about money, right?
Song Rui and Song Hua are a pair of ungrateful people. Even though they have money, they don't know how to help their family or their younger brother.
He is so unlucky that he has two sisters like that.
Song Baohe was also unconvinced.
He just doesn't believe that with his own abilities, he can't live a good life?
But it’s difficult to take action in the county because there are too many surveillance cameras in the city.
The boredom is getting farther and farther away.
Song Baohe suddenly remembered the time when Ling Ye took him out of the province.
Where was he going to do business?
Yes, the Soviet Union.
Then he will also go to the Soviet Union.
………………
The next morning, Ling Ye called Shou Biao and asked them to go to Pang Wu's house together.
Fat Wu's family lives in a remote area, almost close to the city.
The yard is quite large, with neat vegetable gardens in front of and behind the house.
I guess I won’t have to buy groceries when summer comes.
The house is also big, but it was built a few years ago and is a bit dilapidated.
On the way, Shou Biao told Song Rui about the situation of Pang Wu's family.
Fat Five's mother lost her husband in middle age and raised him and his siblings. She suffered a lot of hardships and poverty, which made her extremely frugal.
Not only do you keep the money in your hands, but you also try not to spend a penny if you can.
I guess he has been feeling uncomfortable these past two days, which may also be related to the fact that Fat Five took out 5,000 yuan to build a factory.
But it has always been good to both of them.
After entering the gate, Fat Five saw them coming and hurried out of the main house and invited them in.
Liu Cuizhi poked her head out from the kitchen next door and greeted them enthusiastically.
Song Rui followed them into the house and met Fat Five's mother.
The old lady is in better condition than I thought.
I guess he was just worried about the money and got angry, it's no big deal.
Her gray hair was neatly combed back.
There are deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, he smiles less often, and looks quite serious.
Seeing that they were coming, she sat up and stuffed a few candy balls into Nan Nan's hands.
After a few greetings, Song Rui went out and took the child to the kitchen to find Liu Cuizhi.
The rice is cooking in the pot and no one can leave without her. Liu Cuizhi is probably waiting for her to come and find her, so she has even moved the small stool ready.
Song Rui sat down and saw Xiaojuan was busy nearby.
Picking vegetables, cutting meat, he does the work very well at such a young age, and you can tell at a glance that he is used to it.
Seeing Song Rui's eyes fall on the child, Liu Cuizhi smiled embarrassedly.
"Xiaojuan is very sensible. She always comes to help me when she sees that I am too busy and has done a lot of work for me."
It would definitely be tiring if all the cooking, laundry and housework for the whole family fell on one person's shoulders.
What's more, there is no washing machine for washing clothes, no rice cooker for cooking, and no gas stove for frying.
Song Rui just saw a big basin in the corner, which was full of dirty clothes.
Some of the pieces were in fresh colors, and it was obvious that they were not from the mother and daughter.
"Doesn't Fat Five have a younger sister? Doesn't she work?"
Liu Cuizhi smiled bitterly, "Fangfang said it's hard to get married if you have rough hands."
Song Rui was puzzled. She had never heard of anyone pushing all the housework to others for this reason.
"Your mother-in-law doesn't care?"
When talking about her mother-in-law, Liu Cuizhi's smile became more genuine.
"My mother-in-law has told her so many times, but her brother is on her side, so she just won't do it."
Song Rui was surprised: "Fat Five agrees with her?"
"Well, they have the best relationship as siblings. After all, they grew up together. They were poor before, so Fangfang didn't have a good life. Now that conditions are better, Fatty Five always wants to make it up to her."
"Who wasn't poor before? Who had a good life as a child?"
