"What's going on? Cai Daniu, tell me, are you hiding something from me? Your damn mother didn't lend you eggs, right? Where did these eggs come from?" Huang Qiuju yelled.
Cai Gangqiang's father trembled, "No...it's just...it's just..."
"Dad, stop lying. These eggs were not borrowed from grandma. I borrowed them from the team leader's house. The team leader felt sorry for Dachou and reluctantly gave me two eggs. Otherwise, who would be willing to lend us eggs?" Cai Gangqiang said.
The truth is, Cai Gangqiang's father, Cai Daniu, went to borrow eggs from Old Lady Cai, but he not only failed to borrow the eggs, but was also humiliated.
In the end, Cai Daniu knelt down to Old Lady Cai, but he did not get her mercy.
When Cai Gangqiang arrived carrying Dachou, his grandmother was talking excitedly.
In a rage, Cai Gangqiang dragged his father away and went to the team leader's house.
Only then did I borrow the eggs.
However, Cai Daniu did not want Huang Qiuju to know about this. If that happened, there would be another fight. They were all family, so there was no need for this.
All along the way, he kept persuading his son Cai Gangqiang not to tell anyone, but his son still told the truth.
After hearing what Cai Gangqiang said, Huang Qiuju's face turned red, white, and black.
"Gangqiang, the eggs are ready. Feed Dachou and Erchou. I'm going to look for that old woman. She didn't even help her own great-grandson. I'm afraid she's going to die."
"Qiuju..." Cai Daniu opened his mouth, but it was too late to save the situation.
Huang Qiuju rushed out and went straight to Cai Gangqiang's grandmother's house.
He cursed for half an hour, and only came back after almost everyone in the production team knew about it.
When she came back, Cai Gangqiang was feeding the two children egg custard.
As they ate, one child at a time, the children finally smiled.
Huang Qiuju suppressed her anger, walked to her son, and picked up Dachou.
"Son, there is something I want to discuss with you," said Huang Qiuju.
"What's the matter?" Cai Gangqiang raised his head and looked at Huang Qiuju.
"We really can't afford to raise two children and one adult. Mom is going to think of a way to send the adult and one child away." Huang Qiuju said.
"Mom, what are you saying? This is the child of our Cai family. Ailan is my wife. Where...where are you going to send her?" Cai Gangqiang panicked.
"Don't worry, son. Listen to me. I mean to let Li Ailan go back to her parents' home and take Erchou away. You've seen that in less than a year, all our family savings have been eaten up by Li Ailan, and we're still in debt.
Raising two children is difficult these days, and you don't want to see them starve to death along with our family, do you?" Huang Qiuju asked.
"Son, marrying Li Ailan was a mistake, and you can't make the same mistake again. Look at our family, what is left?" Huang Qiuju continued.
"Listen to me, son! Mommy can't bear to part with Erchou, but if he were to live with us, we wouldn't be able to afford to support him. The Li family has a sister-in-law who works at the match factory in the county town, and a daughter who married into the city. Even if their lives are bad, they're better off than ours."
Huang Qiuju explained the truth clearly and plainly to her son Cai Gangqiang.
"Mom, I can't... How can I, a grown man,... How can I let my wife's family support me and raise my children?"
