Chapter 92 We are all miserable people, who would abandon whom?

"My third sister-in-law from my mother's family lives next door to Wang Sufen's house. The fence there is low, and my third sister-in-law can often hear the couple talking in the yard when she is at her mother's house. I heard that Wang Sufen and her husband used to be very close and had a good relationship..."

When the villagers talked about gossip, their eyes lit up and their saliva flew.

Mrs. Wei listened quietly, occasionally agreeing with a word or two, which prompted the villagers to continue talking.

"... Later, the harvest was bad, the weather was dry, and the land produced less. Wang Sufen's husband went to the river to catch fish for her to replenish her body... But later the river was almost dry, and there were no fish to catch. Life was so difficult for the two of them."

"At that time, Wang Sufen gave birth to another baby. I heard from my third sister-in-law that the mother and daughter were so thin that they could be blown down by the wind. And when they were not even able to eat enough, the baby fell seriously ill."

"Wang Sufen's husband was also in a hurry, and he borrowed money everywhere. But his parents had passed away, and his brothers were not doing well either. Who would have extra money to lend in a famine year..."

"Then one day, I don't know how Wang Sufen's husband suddenly got rich, but by then the baby was already beyond saving..."

"It's terrible. Later we found out that Wang Sufen's husband had borrowed money from the casino in town... What a fool! How could it be so easy to borrow money from the casino?"

"Then I heard that Wang Sufen's husband could only use the little money left at home to gamble to pay off his debts. What a fool! How can it be so easy to get into a casino?... Just two days ago, I heard that Wang Sufen's husband had been struggling for two years, and it was said that he owed more and more money. In the end, he couldn't pay it back, so he jumped into the river. Tsk tsk, I heard that the house was taken away by the casino. What a sin."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei's eyes darkened.

If you get involved in a casino, everyone will lose a lot of money.

But Wang Sufen's husband didn't get involved in gambling because of her.

All I can say is that this is a tragedy.

Mrs. Wei sighed along with the villagers.

"... Wang Sufen was a woman who knew how to manage her life." The villagers recalled, "She was very skillful and was good at taking care of household chores. Your brother will be blessed to marry her."

Suddenly, a villager came close to Grandma Wei and whispered in her ear, "...That's right, Wang Sufen is a little weak in terms of offspring. But, I remember that your brother has a son, right? Don't worry too much..."

When Mrs. Wei saw the villagers starting to say things like Wang Sufen's waist showed it was obvious that she couldn't give birth to a son, she knew she wouldn't be able to get any further information out of her.

She chatted with the villagers for a few words and then left.

As for things like the inability to give birth to a son, Mrs. Wei didn't take it seriously at all.

Her younger brother has lost two wives, and that woman named Sufen is about to become the third. No one thinks her younger brother is unlucky in marriage, so why bother about whether he can have a son or not.

Mrs. Wei sighed silently.

We are all miserable people, why would anyone blame or abandon anyone else?

…

It rained these two days.

Xingxing and Ju Ge'er couldn't go out, so they hid under the eaves together and watched the rain pouring down the eaves.

As it was difficult to travel due to the rain, the school in the neighboring village was closed, and the brothers of the Yu family did not go out.

However, the teacher in the school assigned homework, and the brothers were discussing the homework together at the big table in the main room.

Li Chunhua was half worried and half proud. She said to Mrs. Wei while sewing: "Mom, the paper and ink at home are almost used up. We have to go to the county to buy more... Other families can't even afford enough paper for one boy to study, but we can provide for four at once..."

Mrs. Wei's hands were full of needlework, without even raising her brows: "What's the big deal? In the past, we had to survive first. Now that the weather is getting better, we have some extra money. Several children want to go to school, so we will support them!"

Bai Xiaofeng was even more delighted: "If our family can produce a scholar, we can hold our heads high when we go out in the future!"

Li Chunhua smacked her lips and said, "Scholar, you dare to think..."

As the three of them were talking, Xing Xing suddenly came running back from outside the eaves: "Grandma, there's someone in the yard! Looking for my third brother."

Liu Ge'er, who was teaching his youngest brother Gui Ge'er his homework, raised his head and asked, "Looking for me?"

He stood up and went out to see that it was his schoolmate, who had come in the rain wearing a straw raincoat to ask him about the meaning of a few sentences in his homework.

Because the classmate felt that his raincoat was wet, he did not go into the house, but waited under the eaves, waiting for Liu Ge'er to come out and say a few words to him.

Liu Ge'er explained a few words to his classmate, who then showed a look of sudden enlightenment, thanked Liu Ge'er excitedly, and ran into the rain curtain like a flash.

Li Chunhua looked out the window, stunned: "Is our Liu brother so amazing? People are braving the rain to ask him about his homework..."

Bai Xiaofeng was so proud that she smiled and said, "Not bad! In these few school examinations, our Liu Geer has won the first place."

Li Chunhua was so envious, but she thought that her own child was also very good. Besides, when Liu Ge'er became successful, the whole Yu family would benefit.

Thinking about it this way, I don't feel so upset anymore.

She immediately came to her senses.

Mrs. Wei glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and was relieved to see that there was no sign of jealousy on her face.

"Come to think of it..." Bai Xiaofeng whispered to Mrs. Wei and Li Chunhua, "Hasn't Zhou Wu's mother always been praising her son Wang Qian'an's academic performance? I asked Gui Ge'er quietly, and he told me that he is not as good as his third brother..."

Mother Wei looked at Bai Xiaofeng disapprovingly and admonished her, "Don't ask children such questions in the future. Children should study hard in school. Asking such questions will only make them competitive."

Seeing her mother-in-law's expression change, Bai Xiaofeng quickly nodded in agreement.

Rainy days are usually a day off for farmers.

The several strong men in the Yu family had a rare day off.

The rain continued until the afternoon when it gradually stopped. However, not long after it stopped, someone from the village came to inform the Yu family and asked if anyone in their family was free. There had been a landslide in the back mountain and it seemed that someone had been buried. The village was looking for someone to help clean up the area.

Landslide was a big deal, so the Yu family's several strong men immediately followed the people without any reluctance.

Huai Ge'er was very strong, so he followed him out.

Xingxing had never seen a landslide before and was a little curious. However, seeing that everyone at home, whether it was Mrs. Wei or the aunts and uncles, looked very solemn, she did not go to join in the fun.
