Zhang Xiaocui hung her head in silence. She had always been grateful to the fourth son and his wife. If it weren't for them, how could she have her eldest son today? She also felt sorry for the three children, who were so young and without a father.
However, her youngest son is less than one year old, and she has a daughter. Moreover, her period this month has been delayed for more than half a month, and she often feels nauseous. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be pregnant again!
With her and Tang Wen's abilities, even if they work until they die, they can't support six children!
But if she helped raise one, even though her family would have to live a little tighter, she was still willing to do it.
But as the eldest and youngest in the family, they cannot agree to anything hastily and have to listen to the opinions of the eldest and second eldest families first.
Seeing that no one was talking, Tang Ming couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He really wasted his status as the eldest brother. In front of these brothers, his words were like farts and he couldn't even get a promise!
"You don't have to discuss it!" Tang Ming's tone was clearly threatening.
"Then wait until Mom and Dad come back and see if you still have the right to speak! Now let you discuss it, you still have a choice. Wait until Mom and Dad return with the children, and I don't see any of you dare to say a word of no in front of Mom!"
"Brother, what you said sounds nice!" Zhao Lai Di sneered and said unconvincedly,
"Tell me, what other options do we have now besides raising the child or not? I can't choose not to raise the child, isn't this obviously forcing me to raise someone else's child? And you're making it sound like democracy!"
I'm saying this today, we've already separated, whoever wants to raise this child can do so! I, Zhao Lai Di, just won't raise him!"
"you......"
Tang Ming had no way to deal with Zhao Lai Di, a woman, so he looked at Tang Zhe, wanting him to say something.
Tang Zhe lowered his head so low that it almost went into his crotch!
What could he say? If he made the decision today, what would he do if Zhao Lai Di didn't want to raise the child? Ultimately, the decision on raising a child still had to be made by the women in the family.
Tang Ming turned his head away angrily, he had nothing to say!
His family was burdened with a lot of pressure! Raising a child was no small matter, especially one so young! He had initially thought that at worst, they could only raise one child.
But who would have thought that the second brother's wife would be so adamant that she wouldn't raise any of them even if they died! As the eldest brother, could he let the third brother's family raise two? That would make the villagers laugh at him to death!
......
The Tang family meeting ended in a bad mood! No conclusion was reached at all.
But they all understood each family's attitude and thoughts on this matter.
At this time in Kyoto, moonlight poured in through the window. Old Man Tang and his mother were lying flat on the bed, discussing their youngest son's funeral arrangements.
"His father, the fourth child is gone! We can't keep dragging Guo'er down like this. She's still young and can't always be there for the fourth child. We have to let her get over it quickly."
"Okay!" Old Man Tang responded, "Then when Guo'er comes back, we'll go back home!
I just don’t know if that kid is willing to let us take the grandchildren back with us. But if we leave the grandchildren behind, how will Guo’er be able to get over it for a while? If she wants to remarry, I’m afraid our three grandchildren will be a burden to her!
Old Man Tang finished his words with a long sigh. Mother Tang was silent for a while before she said,
"Dad, I counted all the money I have today, and I have several hundred dollars! I'm thinking, let's buy a small yard nearby and not go back to our hometown!"
"Not going back home?" Old Man Tang was a little surprised that Mother Tang had made such a decision.
"If we don't go back home, we'll be in a completely unfamiliar place here, without a job or land. How will we make a living? How will we support our grandchildren?"
Mother Tang disagreed! During her time in Kyoto, she had learned a lot from Old Lady Lan and gained a lot of experience. She didn't think she could raise her grandchildren well with just one acre of land.
"Do you think that returning to your hometown will give your children a good life?"
"At least we still have the eldest, second, and third uncles to help us back home. We are already old, and we don't have many days left to live! The children will have to rely on those three uncles in the future."
"Depend on them?" Tang's mother sneered.
"Do you believe that they are really hoping that we will stay in Kyoto and not go back?
The third son's family is fine, but the two awful wives of the first and second sons are willing to help us raise the children? It's good enough that they don't try every possible way to take food from the children's mouths!
This is Kyoto. If you go out and do some odd jobs, even sweeping garbage or picking up scraps, you can earn more than digging for food in the dirt here! As for me, I'll stay at home to take care of the children and pick up some sewing work on the side, which will at least contribute to my income!
We old couple should save more money for our children's textbooks while we are still able to work.
I can see that our three eldest grandsons are all very smart. We can't ruin them. We have to send them to school and let them learn more culture!
When Guoer misses the children, she can come and see them anytime, even if she remarries! As a mother, how can she really bear to give up her children? We can't stop her from thinking about them."
"Okay! Since you've made up your mind, let's do it! When Guo'er comes back, we'll talk to her properly."
......
At this time, in the territory of Country Y, Tang Zhan was lying in a basement covered in blood, with more than a dozen Chinese people lying around him.
"This kid is really lucky. He's been unconscious for so many days, but he's still breathing!"
The bald gatekeeper was chewing betel nut, pointing at Tang Zhan with his chin, and said to the man next to him.
The man had a hideous scar on the right side of his cheek and a tiger head with bared fangs tattooed on his shoulder. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the people in the basement.
"Early this morning, regardless of whether they are dead or alive, send them to the base. They are waiting anxiously and are in need of experimental subjects!"
"Got it, Brother Tiger!"
After the two left, Tang Zhan's eyelids moved slightly.
On the day of the accident, he wanted to return to the ammunition depot to check the fuse.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran into the woods outside the Armed Forces Department, he ran into Brother Hu.
Brother Hu was riding hard on a woman at that time.
Tang Zhan's sudden intrusion inevitably ruined other people's good fortune!
Tang Zhan was a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly turned his eyes away without looking at them any more! He thought that the two were just ordinary people, with a burning desire and a secret affair here!
He bypassed the two and continued to rush forward, but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the bullets behind him!
The bullet went straight through his heart.
Fortunately, he was carrying the glass bottle prepared for him by Lan Guoer. Feeling the passing of life, he drank it in one gulp with his remaining strength at the critical moment, thus saving his life.
