After searching for a while without success, Shi De returned to the new courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Shi Xiaoli eating with a bowl in her hand.
These days, Shi Xiaoli needed someone to feed her before she would eat, but she was unexpectedly so obedient today. Shi De felt mixed emotions when he saw this. He squatted on the ground with his head lowered, and said in a muffled voice, "Mom, thank you for giving Xiaoli a bite of food."
The old lady was furious when she saw him: "How can you talk like that? Xiaoli is my granddaughter. It's normal for her to stutter like this. What do you mean by reward? Is that what I mean?"
Shi Weimin felt that his father was not good at speaking, so he shouted, "Dad, can you please stop talking nonsense!"
Uncle Tao couldn't sit still anymore and cursed directly: "Asshole, you are old enough to be a grandfather, but your three sons still ignore you and don't think about what you have done.
Just think about that time you went to the commune's cowshed to borrow the black dog a few days ago. I knew you were holding back. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog. Yuzhu and Zhentang came all the way back for Xiaoli.
If it weren't for him and his wife, Xiaoli would still be in the human traffickers' den. But you, not only are you not grateful to them, you are also on guard against them. Now look at the changes in Xiaoli. If it weren't for the medicine prescribed by Yuzhu, would she be like this now?
Ah De, you should change your morals. It was her own fault that Yang Dahua went to jail. No one deliberately sent her there. You shouldn't hold a grudge against her. You hate the wrong person!"
Usually, Uncle Tao rarely preaches to others, but today he really couldn't bear it anymore.
When Shi Xiaoli was missing, Shi Zhentang went to look for her without saying a word. However, when Shi De came in, he not only didn't ask about the situation, but also acted in a sarcastic manner.
What? Do we have to invite him to sit at the table and eat and drink together?
Even Uncle Xu had something to say about this: "Ade, you are blessed to have such a son and daughter-in-law. Don't throw away your blessing, or you will regret it too late."
The village party secretary shook his head and sighed. Every family has its own problems. He and Shi De are of the same generation, so he won't talk about him.
Shi De's face flushed red at the words of the two elders, but he still felt aggrieved and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Dahua is in jail, Xiaoli has gone crazy, the eldest and second sons have separated from me, and now even the third son ignores me. My life has become like this, and you still say it's my fault."
"Dad, what should we do if we don't divide the family? Didn't you see how my mom treated Azhen? Ever since Azhen married me, my mom has never treated her as a human being." When Shi Weimin said this, he felt aggrieved and wanted to wipe away his tears.
Shi Weiqiang roared angrily, "You were the one who said you kicked me out of the house and disowned me as your son. Now you're saying I ignored you. Is that unreasonable?"
"Okay, okay, just say less." The village party secretary advised.
Tian Yuzhu and Shi Zhentang exchanged glances at the table. They had done what they should have done, so there was no point in saying more.
At this moment, Shi De, who was wiping his tears, suddenly stood up slowly.
Everyone thought he might turn around and leave, or curse at everyone.
Unexpectedly, he stood up straight and then fell to his knees with a plop: "Mom, I was wrong, Yuzhu, please, can you treat Xiaoli again before returning to the army?"
Everyone was shocked: "..."
They looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."
My goodness, this kneeling made everyone present feel uncomfortable.
People are kind-hearted, and it is impossible to say that there are no ripples, especially when it comes to the three sons.
Although I hate him, am annoyed by him, and think that his behavior is shameful, he is still my biological father after all.
Shi Weiqiang and Shi Weimin both looked at the old lady at the same time: "Grandma...what should we do?"
Shi Zhentang raised his glass of wine with a sullen expression and drank it all...
The old lady sighed deeply and said, "Get up now."
"If you don't agree, I will kneel here and die. I won't get up." Shi De's attitude was firm.
Tian Yuzhu was still a little moved by the fact that he was willing to kneel down in front of so many people for his daughter.
She knew what Shi Xiaoli's advantage was, which was that she had a father who was willing to give everything for her.
Tian Yuzhu knew that it would be difficult for the old lady to agree to this matter. The old lady was well aware of the harm Shi De had caused to them, so she would not help agree to it.
The same goes for Shi Zhentang. This matter mainly depends on her attitude.
Her thoughts raced through the air, but in the blink of an eye, she thought, "Two seconds is all it takes." Tian Yuzhu gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Get up! If you don't, I won't treat Xiaoli."
What does this mean?
Shi De slowly understood and quickly stood up: "Thank you, Yuzhu."
"No need to thank me. I agreed to treat Xiaoli purely for Zhentang and Grandma's sake. It has nothing to do with you."
"...No matter what, I have to thank you." Shi De rubbed his hands in shame.
When others saw Tian Yuzhu's reaction, they were also quite moved.
Shi Zhentang even said, "Yuzhu, I'm sorry for wronging you!"
Tian Yuzhu gave him a reassuring smile: "..."
In fact, she knew in her heart that even if Shi De had not asked for her help, she would still help Shi Xiaoli in order not to leave Shi Zhentang with any worry.
The old lady was even more moved: "Look, Ade, this girl Yuzhu has a much bigger vision than a grown man like you."
"That's right, Ade, you have to change it in the future," said Uncle Tao.
At the same time, Zhao Xiaoman was completely won over by Tian Yuzhu's way of doing things.
She whispered to Tian Yuzhu, "Sister, you are truly a heroine."
Tian Yuzhu chuckled and said, "Don't leave later. We need to sign a contract for you to be our sales representative."
"Does it have to be so formal?"
"Of course, this is no longer the age of verbal talk!"
Tian Yuzhu was no longer interested in the trivial matters and preferred to talk business with Zhao Xiaoman.
And she did what she said. She went into the house and wrote a contract by hand. After a while, she went out and asked Zhao Xiaoman to come in and sign it.
Su Zhen also hurried to join in the fun.
When Zhao Xiaoman saw the words on the contract, her eyes widened. "Sister, everyone said you couldn't read before you joined the army, but now you know so much in such a short time, and you can write so well."
"What's good about that? I was forced to do this." Tian Yuzhu blinked and smiled.
In order to avoid being too exposed, she wrote it with her left hand.
Zhao Xiaoman was surprised: "Were you forced out?"
"Yeah, you don't know how hard it is to marry a soldier. In order not to embarrass him and get along well with the other wives in the military district, I have to practice calligraphy for several hours every day. In the end, it's all because of Zhentang."
"So that's how it is." Zhao Xiaoman's eyes sparkled. "But it sounds to me like they're showing off their affection!"
"Tsk!" Su Zhen smiled embarrassedly.
After Tian Yuzhu finished laughing, she said seriously, "Xiao Man, we're not kidding about purchasing goods. Now that we have a contract, you have to follow it. As for the flow of funds, we use electronic remittance."
"Okay, don't worry, sister."
