Chapter 741 Fifty Cents
It was not until Fan Jianguo came back from closing his stall at noon that he heard from his wife that Jiang Xiaoxiao had called and asked the couple to go over there in the evening.
They said the old lady was now at their house and would not come back for lunch, so they could go over in the evening and have dinner together.
Fan Jianguo didn't think much about it.
Normally he would set up his stall until eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and sometimes even until one or two in the middle of the night.
However, they had no choice but to go over for dinner when their niece and sister asked them to.
Otherwise I can't find any reason.
At around 5 o'clock, Fan Jianguo came over with his daughter, Liu Huili and her husband, carrying two cans of food and a bag of snacks.
Liu Huili was a little nervous and her eyelids were twitching.
Life is tight at home now, and even though they bought two cans of food and a bag of snacks, the couple was still distressed.
It’s funny when you think about it. In the past, I ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks. I could choose whatever I wanted to eat.
Now, even if I want to buy two cans of food and a bag of snacks, I am still stingy and reluctant to spend money.
Liu Huili really hated herself a little bit.
I really am a troublemaker.
People say that you should marry a virtuous woman. Marrying a bad wife is a sign of ruining the family.
Look at Fan Jianguo, he married a troublemaker like me, and his huge family business was ruined just like that.
"Jianguo, I always feel that there are some bad signs. It won't be that Big Sister and Xiao Xiao have discovered something."
Fan Jianguo did not tell his sister about this matter, mainly because he was afraid that his sister would have opinions about his wife's family.
No matter who you tell this to, they will think it was his wife's doing.
But it has come to this. My daughter-in-law's family has cut off relations with her. If I continue to blame her for this, I might even end up not wanting her.
This is not forcing this woman to die.
Fan Jianguo is not such a person. If you say he is soft-hearted, he is indeed soft-hearted. After all, this woman is the one who gave birth to his daughter.
I can't force her to die.
Be a man, and you will hold on no matter how hard or tired you are.
"It's okay, don't worry too much, I'm here."
The daughter was thin and weak, and looked very well-behaved. She leaned in her father's arms and looked around curiously.
Because the daughter was in poor health, and her mother was also in poor health, the child spent most of her time lying on the kang at home with Liu Huili.
I seldom go out, so everything I see outside is new.
A father, mother and child walked over. The little boy was waving the marshmallows he had just bought in his hand, his mouth full of them.
"Dad, the marshmallows are so sweet."
"You'd better eat less sugar. Eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth. Teeth will get worms."
Xiaojiu looked at the marshmallow enviously and stretched out his little hands.
“Sugar…sugar…”
Fan Jianguo was stunned. His daughter had never asked them for anything before, so of course she had no chance to ask.
Standing in front of the cotton candy stall.
"Boss, how much is a marshmallow?"
Fan Jianguo made up his mind to buy one.
"Fifty cents each! Want one?"
Fan Jianguo hesitated.
If this happened in the past, even a year ago, I would have taken it out without hesitation.
Fifty cents is nothing. To Fan Jianguo, he has enjoyed both good and bad times in his life.
But when it came to buying a marshmallow for his own daughter, he actually hesitated.
Because why?
Because the mother and daughter need money for medical treatment, these fifty cents can sometimes be of great help.
If the hospital was even a penny short of money, it would not allow the mother and daughter to receive treatment there.
He searched his pocket with trembling hands, but ultimately failed to take it out.
Liu Huili grabbed his hand. As a wife, she knew best that her husband was very stingy with every penny he spent. The whole family had to live on coarse food for the sake of them, mother and daughter.
Even though it's just a small marshmallow, their family couldn't afford it.
We have already spent money on canned food and snacks today. If I buy marshmallows, it will make the situation worse for our family.
In order to make money for his family, Fan Jianguo would go out every day with only a steamed bun or a dry biscuit. He often did not come back for lunch and was reluctant to spend a penny outside.
My mother-in-law goes out to pick up scraps all day long just to save more money for the family.
How could I not know what is good for me!
The child is ignorant, is she also ignorant?
"The child's father! Forget it!"
Why are these things happening? It’s all because of her.
The sight of the little kid being carried away from the family of three in disappointment by his father made the cotton candy vendor pout.
"What kind of person is this? He can't even afford to buy a marshmallow for his child. He's such a poor bastard."
She didn't conceal her voice at all, for fear that Fan Jianguo couldn't hear her.
Fan Jianguo felt bitter.
He has encountered too many such insults recently. Compared with his mother picking up rotten vegetable leaves from the vegetable market, this little insult of his is nothing.
The family of three came to Fan Xiuying's home.
Fan Xiuying saw her brother and sister-in-law coming in at the gate, carrying the child, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Jianguo, Xiaohui is here, hurry up and carry the child into the house. We are just two dishes away, we will start eating right away, you guys go eat some watermelon first, there are cut watermelon and washed grapes in the house."
Liu Huili quickly put the child in Fan Jianguo's arms, rolled up her sleeves and followed Fan Xiuying into the kitchen.
"Big sister, I will help you cook."
In the past, when she looked at Fan Xiuying, she was very dissatisfied in her heart. In her mind, this elder sister-in-law had taken great advantage of her younger brother.
Besides, she was marrying Fan Jianguo, not Fan Xiuying, so why would this sister run back to her parents' home to make the decisions all the time?
This was what she couldn't stand the most, but now things had developed to this point.
Seeing that her elder sister-in-law always had the same attitude towards them, she didn't know that Fan Jianguo hadn't said it, and she thought that her elder sister-in-law was really doing it for their own good. Since she married into this family, although her elder sister-in-law couldn't stand her, she had never embarrassed her in person.
For this reason alone, her elder sister-in-law is more reasonable than she imagined.
"Xiaohui, there's no need to come in to cook. There are only two dishes left. Go in and take care of the children. You're not strong, and there's so much smoke here. What if you get choked? Come on in, come in quickly. Why are you being so polite to your elder sister? Come to our house, just like you're at home."
Fan Xiuying directly kicked the person out.
Liu Huili looked at her elder sister busy in the kitchen and her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
I used to be too narrow-minded, and always felt that others were taking advantage of me in many things.
Seeing that Fan Jianguo almost obeyed his niece Jiang Xiaoxiao and was extremely kind to her sister and brother-in-law, she was envious and jealous. She felt that Fan Xiuying was a great bargain for their family and that her husband was a big fool.
But of course she knew it now.
They are real siblings, there is no alienation between them, and this elder sister-in-law is very nice to me.
Knowing that she was in poor health, I never asked my eldest sister-in-law to help me when I came to her house for dinner.
Compared to my own family, my mother-in-law's family is simply the best.
