After saying that, she lowered her head, not daring to look at the person in front of her at all.
She now only hopes that her mother will be alright, and she is willing to give up ten years of her own life to save her.
If anything were to happen to her mother, she wouldn't want to live anymore...
Chi Deng had come over in high spirits, and upon hearing this, he strode forward to catch up.
Then, holding his wife's hand with one hand and taking the bag from her hand with the other, he walked towards the old house.
He only let go of her hand when they reached the main gate, and looked at the person under the eaves of the house.
"father!"
Chi Dahu saw his second son, reached out and vigorously wiped his face, and said in a hoarse voice:
"You're here?"
"Father, Xiaomei said something happened to Mother? How is she now? Is she in Aunt's room?"
"Yes, in your aunt's room!"
Your aunt and sister-in-law are inside right now, so nothing serious should happen.
"To be honest, she got cold trying to get some straw for you to make straw mats."
Chi Deng has been burning charcoal at the charcoal mountain for the past few days and doesn't know anything about the straw curtains.
Hearing that her mother did it for them, she felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. We've been unfilial and caused you and Mom so much worry!"
Liu Mei, who was standing at the door and dared not take a step in, immediately knelt down on the ground when she heard that her mother-in-law was indeed doing this to make straw curtains for them.
Her eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice was hoarse as she spoke to Chi Dahu:
"Father, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"
Chi Dengcai took two steps into the courtyard, heard the commotion, and then heard those words. He immediately turned around and looked back.
Seeing his wife kneeling on the cold ground, his heart trembled.
"Xiaomei, you..."
Liu Mei didn't dare look her husband in the eye at all, and could only lower her head and say:
"Honey, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
I saw my relatives giving my aunt straw mats, and then at lunch today, I said I wished we had some too.
Not only did I say that, but I also brought Ah Guang and Ah Li along, saying that if we had them at home, the two children wouldn't get cold.
I just spoke without thinking; I never imagined that my mother would take it to heart.
"Going out to cut straw in this freezing weather..."
Chi Dahu didn't blame his second daughter-in-law. Upon hearing this, he said to Chi Deng:
“Aden, the ground is cold, help your wife up.”
Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when your mother wakes up.
The children are still at the grocery store; you two need to help keep an eye on them!
Chi Deng felt very guilty, and had a thousand words he wanted to say.
Seeing the exhaustion on his father's face, he could only swallow back all the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"good!"

As for the Chi family, only Chi Dong's family wanted to try growing rice this year.
Then they took two acres of wasteland near a small mountain spring and irrigated it into paddy fields.
Everything was fine until the grouting process, and I don't know what went wrong.
In the end, only three to five grains in each bundle of rice are plump.
The rest, like those that encountered a severe drought and water shortage during the grouting process, were all deflated.
It doesn't even reach 30% of what's commonly found in ordinary fields—no, it's less than 10%.
A year of hard work, and this is the result.
In a fit of rage, Chi Dong refused to let his family accept the gifts, and even threatened that whoever wanted them could take them themselves.
The other villagers, upon learning of the situation, were even less inclined to waste their time.
