Xiao Yichen's face instantly became inscrutable.
Then he asked, "My older brother goes out every day? How long has it been like this?"
Seeing him like this, Zhang Hehua didn't dare to move and replied softly, "It's been about ten days now. I don't know what he's been busy with. He goes out as soon as he gets off work every day and doesn't come back until midnight."
I wonder if she's been seduced by some vixen. If I ever find out who it is, I'll tear those two scoundrels apart!
Aunt Xiao was furious. She raised her arm and pointed at Zhang Hehua, her hand trembling with anger: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who would willingly give themselves a green hat?"
What evidence have you found against me? If you have it, then show it. If you don't, then don't talk nonsense. Don't you know how the boss treats you?
"You don't even want your parents anymore, let alone your own children!"
Hearing Aunt Xiao's words, Zhang Hehua remembered that she had given the things to the second son's family instead of giving them to her own: "You're talking nonsense."
You biased old woman, you're so biased! You never give us anything good. What's the point of talking? I can't be bothered arguing with you.
After saying that, he stopped arguing with them and turned to go inside.
We won't be able to eat wontons and candy anymore.
Fortunately, she still had some brown sugar in her room.
This stuff is quite expensive, costing seven cents a pound.
She wants to go back and make some brown sugar water to drink.
Actually, when she said her husband was bewitched by some vixen, she was lying; she was just deliberately trying to spite the Xiao family.
This brown sugar was brought back by Xiao Yijing last night; there wasn't much, only about two ounces.
She had never doubted her husband's feelings for her. They say that where there's money, there's heart, and her husband had always brought her things back.
After drinking the brown sugar water, Zhang Hehua's anger finally subsided a little.
Thinking that she couldn't enjoy this good stuff all by herself, she had to send some to her parents and nephew.
Her parents are old and in poor health, and her eldest nephew is malnourished and weak.
Everyone needs to take good care of their health.
Oh dear, how could she drink it herself? It's so shameful, so incredibly shameful.
It should have been delivered today.
How could I drink it myself? It's all because of that Xiao family that I've become so angry. Fine, I won't drink the rest. I'll just take it back to my parents' house tomorrow.
In the dead of night, the chirping of insects carries even further in the quiet night.
Xiao Yijing finally dragged his tired body home.
Weak and exhausted, he returned home to find his wife already asleep, a routine he was used to.
Looking at his wife on the kang (a heated brick bed), Xiao Yijing smiled contentedly.
Thinking I should eat something first, I found only cold, hard cornbread on the stove.
Fine, a bowl of brown sugar water will do, but then I couldn't find any brown sugar.
Looking at Zhang Guihua lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), Xiao Yijing's face showed a hint of wavering for the first time.
Does this woman even care about him at all?
The next day, Xiao Yijing ate a quick corn porridge before going to work, glancing at Zhang Hehua before leaving.
Seeing that she was packing her things, I knew she was going to her parents' house.
I tried to say something several times, but ultimately I didn't.
After taking one last look at his wife's joyful face, he left without saying a word.
Zhang Hehua happily packed her things to take to her parents' home: two ounces of brown sugar, two pounds of cornmeal, and four eggs.
My parents should be happy now!
She is definitely the most capable daughter.
The smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
After packing my things and heading out, I turned around and saw a row of four small hard-boiled eggs lying on the wall.
Zhang Hehua smiled and said, "Golden Egg, Silver Egg, Iron Egg, let's go to your grandma's house. You haven't been there in a long time, your grandma must miss you!"
All four eggs had the same expression, their faces blank and expressionless.
Tie Dan was a little different; his expression was forced and somewhat unnatural.
Golden Egg replied indifferently, "Let's not go. They never give us food when we go, and we always come back hungry."
Silver Egg nodded in agreement: "That's right. Not only do they not give us food, but we also have to collect firewood and gather leaves. There's never a moment of rest when we're there. If the little fat boy bullies us, we're the ones who get beaten up!"
With a last glimmer of hope in his eyes, Tongdan asked Zhang Hehua, "Mom, I'm hungry. I saw four eggs in your bag. Can I have one?"
I don't want much, I just want one. We four can share it, and we can leave three for the little fatty, okay?
Looking at the expressions on the children's faces, Zhang Hehua felt a pang of pain in her heart.
Not understanding what was wrong with her, she reached out and rubbed her face. Looking at the children's blank expressions, she felt a surge of anger: "What are you saying?"
That's your maternal grandparents' house, how could they not feed you? Besides, what's wrong with doing some work? Don't you do work at home too?
Copper Egg, and that egg, it's for your brother to nourish his body. You know he's been malnourished since he was a child.
You're the most sensible one, sweetie! If you guys aren't going, then Mommy will go by herself!
After saying that, he left, but after a few steps, he turned back to look at the four eggs still clinging to the wall.
It feels like I'm drifting further and further away from something.
He looked down at what he was holding.
Thinking about how her parents would praise and encourage her when they saw these things, Zhang Hehua felt better.
Continue walking towards the door.
The four eggs just watched Zhang Hehua walk out, numbly watching, for a long time without saying a word.
Zhang Hehua arrived at around 8:00 AM.
When the formal production team starts work.
Zhang Hehua could see from afar that her father was chatting with a group of old men and women by the wall.
