"Daughter, get your mother something to eat first. I'm so hungry I have no strength left." Huang Cuifen also had a lot to say.
But now she was so hungry she could barely breathe; her stomach was empty, and all she wanted was to eat something.
Seeing her mother like this, Wei Xiuying had no choice but to turn around and go outside to prepare some food for her.
When she went to the kitchen, she found the house completely empty. In the end, she had no choice but to find some vegetables in her private plot, cook a pot of vegetable soup, and bring it in.
"You brat, didn't you bring any food with you?" Huang Cuifen looked at the bright green vegetable soup in front of her and couldn't even swallow it.
“I brought some. What’s going on at home? Why are my younger brothers so hungry? They even fought over the eggs I brought and smashed them.”
"Even after it fell, she didn't forget about the yolk; she just picked it up and ate it. It was disgusting," Wei Xiuying said, frowning.
"Next time you bring something, just bring it inside, or bring something familiar and deliver it over. Don't give it to your two heartless brothers."
Huang Cuifen was furious when she heard that the two heartless people had eaten the eggs.
Her stomach felt so empty and uncomfortable that she stopped complaining about the soup and started gulping it down.
Wei Xiuying remained silent, but promised to bring some delicious food next time she came, as those eggs were the result of her hard work in saving them up.
She wasn't well-fed, so she had nothing good to give them.
"Mom, please tell me what's going on at home. Where is my second brother's family? How did that person in my second brother's family become a worker in the propaganda department?"
"Mother, you and Father have that kind of influence. Even if you didn't want to give it to us, why didn't you give it to our younger brother or older brother? Why did you give it to an outsider?"
“You have no idea how smug they were when they came to our brigade last time. I’m their older sister, and not only did they disrespect me, they even dared to embarrass me.”
"I don't care, Mother, you have to give them a good beating today to vent your anger." Wei Xiuying hadn't forgotten the purpose of her visit.
"Don't mention those two in front of me. It's all their fault that our family is like this. It's a misfortune for our family. If I had known, I would never have married those two even if you killed me."
Huang Cuifen tearfully recounted what had happened at home. She couldn't count on her son anymore, but she still had her daughter.
These daughters have been obedient since they were young, especially the eldest daughter. Her husband went to great lengths to find her a good husband.
She married the best man. Now she's paralyzed, and if no one takes care of her, she really won't survive.
Wei Xiuying's eyes widened after hearing what her mother said.
"What did you say? Your father was fathered by someone else?" Huang Cuifen said that she didn't take her father's affairs, or other family matters, to heart.
Even when her second son's family severed ties, she was at most angry, but the last sentence scared her. What did that sentence mean?
“Your father is a wicked son. He even lied to me. Now he’s in jail and doesn’t care about anything, leaving our family to be hunted down and killed.”
"Now the people in the brigade are treating us like dirt, and I don't know what to do."
"By the way, Xiuying, could you give your mother some money? She's thinking of going to the hospital to get a proper check-up. She doesn't want to be paralyzed here!"
Huang Cuifen burst into tears when she talked about this. She used to be so proud of marrying Wei Changgen, but now she regrets it so much.
"I...I have no money, I have things to do at home, I have to go back." Wei Xiuying was preoccupied with the fact that this matter couldn't be reported to their brigade.
Otherwise, what should she do? Her husband will definitely make a scene.
"You brat, if something happens at your home, you'll definitely stay at your parents' house for a few more days. I'm just lazing around at home, and there's no one to take care of me, so you can stay a few more days."
When Huang Cuifen heard that she wanted to leave, how could she possibly agree? There was no one to take care of her at home now.
"No, I promised my family I'd go home today. It's far, so I have to leave now," Wei Xiuying said, turning to walk outside.
Huang Cuifen hurriedly called for someone to stop her.
Wei Baidao and Wei Baide knew their eldest sister was rich, and they hadn't even seen anything yet, so how could they let her go?
The two men blocked the doorway demanding money, refusing to let people out otherwise.
"What do you want? Are you trying to stop me from going back? I'm a married daughter, not part of your Wei family."
"You can't stop me, or you'll be in big trouble if my man comes looking for me!" Wei Xiuying was terrified.
She's not going back to her parents' home, she's entered a wolf's den.
In the past, her parents never said anything even if she came back empty-handed. Although their brigade was wealthy, her husband's family was nothing compared to her own family.
Her parents didn't care about her little things, but now that's no longer the case. They're trying to leech off her!
"Isn't it a given that you should be filial to your mother? She's not feeling well right now, so what's wrong with letting you come back and take care of her for a few days?"
Wei Baidao knew that if he didn't get anything today, his older sister definitely wouldn't come next time. Could they possibly go to her in-laws' house to ask for something?
She'd be kicked out if she did; she's come to us for help, and we absolutely can't let her leave this time.
"Don't you sons still take care of our parents? What's the point of having sons? Aren't they just there to support us in our old age?"
"And what about your wives? Why is it never my turn?" Wei Xiuying's shouts quickly attracted the attention of several families next door.
Nobody wanted to get involved with the Wei family; they were now the enemy of their entire brigade.
Hearing about the commotion at their home, many people came with the intention of causing trouble.
They saw Wei Xiuying being blocked by Wei Laoda and Lao San, who were watching the commotion from the doorway.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch? I'm from the Luzha Brigade. If I do anything wrong, our brigade won't let you off the hook."
Wei Xiuying was no match for the two men and couldn't get out. Seeing that no one came to help her at the door, she just stood there looking around.
“Sister-in-law, you’re wrong about that. We asked you to take care of your mother so that you could show your filial piety. Even if your brigade leader came, he wouldn’t be able to say anything.”
Su Nianyou had just arrived home after a busy day at the cowshed when she saw a large crowd gathered at her doorstep.
She had gotten used to it these past few days, assuming they were just coming to vent their anger on Wei Baide and Wei Baidao.
At first she was a little worried and scared, but then she realized that they wouldn't touch her at all.
She knew she was a sent-down youth and was now pregnant. If something happened to her and the higher-ups came to investigate, they would be in deep trouble.
As for the Wei brothers, they were members of the brigade, and we weren't afraid of beating them up a few times.
Su Nianyou felt relieved. No matter who came looking for trouble, she could just close the door and stay inside.
She thought that Wei Baidao was the male lead, and this must be a trial given to him by God, both mentally and physically, which he needed to be tempered.
Just be patient, he'll definitely be more successful in the future.
