An Jingzhi did not disturb Tian Caifeng's self-confession.
If you want your mother to become a successful person, the first step is to break her self-esteem and the fragile illusion she tries so hard to maintain.
The second step is to slowly brainwash her and let her know that she must be self-reliant and strong.
Letting Tian Caifeng express her feelings, An Jingzhi basked in the sun in the yard for a while and then went to Grandma Qiao's house next door.
After whispering a few words with Grandma Qiao in the corner, Grandma Qiao's expression became more and more strange.
"How did you come up with that?"
"Is this idea feasible?"
An Jingzhi said helplessly: "My mother can't stay like this forever, right? I have to give it a try."
Grandma Qiao said with relief: "You finally figured it out. Although you are filial, you can't listen to your mother in everything. Your mother is useless and has no opinions of her own."
"You've always kept everything bottled up since you were little. You shouldn't talk about your problems, but you've been bottled up. A child like you can't handle so much."
"Grandma Qiao, I understand. Thank you for your concern." An Jingzhi said with a smile.
Grandma Qiao touched An Jingzhi's head distressedly: "Although you are still young, you will have to get married in a few years. You have to think about yourself."
"Don't do this heavy work anymore. I'll ask your uncle to fill your water tank."
Grandma Qiao had said this several times before, but because Tian Caifeng didn't want to see outsiders, the original owner listened to her and filled the water tank at home bucket by bucket.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Arita."
Grandma Qiao was a little surprised, but also very relieved: "It's great that you figured it out so early, kid."
After an afternoon of reflection, Tian Caifeng has learned to cook on her own initiative.
She also made dinner: a bowl of white porridge, some green vegetables, and even a fried egg.
As soon as the food was served, Tian Caifeng pushed the only fried egg on the table in front of An Jingzhi.
He said in a flattering way, "You eat." Tian Caifeng was not used to how to get along with her son. All these years, her son had been indulging her.
Cui Jiansheng is important to her, but her son is also important. He is her only relative.
In the past, the original owner felt sorry for Tian Caifeng and would give her all the meat in the house.
He said that he had caught a bird outside and had eaten meat.
Tian Caifeng didn't know what happened, but she actually believed it.
"Hmm." An Jingzhi lowered his head, picked up the egg and put it into his bowl, and finished it in a few bites.
Seeing An Jingzhi's unyielding attitude, Tian Caifeng was still a little unresponsive.
After dinner, An Jingzhi sat on the stool and didn't look like he wanted to wash the dishes.
"Jingzhi——"
"Mom, you have to live a good life to make that man regret it. Start by washing dishes and cooking."
The words that Tian Caifeng wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
As the sky was just getting dark, the sound of birds singing was heard at the door. An Jingzhi slowly opened his eyes and remembered that this was the secret code agreed upon by the original owner and Luo Xiaojun.
He got up, put on his clothes and went to the yard.
Luo Xiaojun's tall figure completely blocked An Jingzhi's sight. He complained:
"Why are you so slow?"
"What do you want me to do?" An Jingzhi said lazily.
"Aren't you going to work?"
To work means to do business on the roadside with no capital.
In fact, they couldn't steal much money, at most a small amount like one yuan and eighty cents.
"What work?" An Jingzhi was about to persuade Luo Xiaojun when he heard a slight noise coming from behind the door. Besides him, Tian Caifeng was the only one at home.
"I remember now. Did you find the fat sheep?" he said deliberately.
Luo Xiaojun's eyes flashed with excitement: "I thought you didn't go anymore because you didn't find any goodies. But there are more people walking on the road recently, and there are cars too. If we can stop a car, we can definitely steal a lot!"
"Do I need to bring a knife? There's more than one person in the car."
Luo Xiaojun scratched his head and said, "You're right. I'll go back and get a hatchet."
With that, Luo Xiaojun turned and left.
An Jingzhi closed the gate and turned around to see Tian Caifeng standing trembling in the yard.
Her face turned pale: "You are going to rob."
An Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I can't do heavy work now. If I do it again, it will definitely be like this in the future. I have to support my family, so I can only find a way to make money."
The regret in Tian Caifeng's heart was even more turbulent than yesterday.
She always believed what the original owner said about the money he earned from trapping prey in the mountains.
I didn't expect that this was the truth.
She stared at An Jingzhi intently, "How long have you been doing this?"
"I don't remember, it seems like it's been a long time."
"Listen to me!" Tian Caifeng's eyes were bloodshot. "Don't go there again! You're going to be shot!"
He even had to bring a hatchet with him. Upon hearing this, Tian Caifeng wanted to get away with it right away.
"But mother, if I don't go, there will be no money at home. How can you go to the county without money?" An Jingzhi said calmly.
"Mom isn't going anymore," Tian Caifeng said in a tearful voice, "Mom isn't going to the county anymore. Listen to me, son. We won't do such things!"
"You are my only relative. How will I live without you?"
"What about food at home?" An Jingzhi asked deliberately: "Even if I don't go, there must be money at home."
"Mom, go work in the fields!" She stared at An Jingzhi intently, fearing that if she missed him, he would go out with a hatchet.
"Okay then." An Jingzhi compromised helplessly.
Glancing at the sky, he reminded her, "Mom, you need to get ready. We need to have breakfast soon. After breakfast, you still need to go to the fields to work. The firewood we collected yesterday is almost used up. Bring some back when you come back."
