Chapter 3: Struck by Thunder

She wanted to send her father to jail? And she wanted to help her second uncle rob their property?

Brothers Liang Weijiang and Liang Shoujiang couldn't believe it.

I knew the old woman was vicious, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious!

"Since mother wants to reunite with father so much, then go. I will carry you up the mountain and bury you next to my father before leaving the village." Liang Yuanwang's cold voice echoed in the house.

Shen Yuefu, her son, and Liang Huanxue all looked at him.

The old lady thought she had heard wrongly: "What did you say?"

"I said if you want to die, then die. I won't stop you."

Liang Yuanwang was not angry at this moment, but felt relieved.

He was thirteen years old when his father passed away. He was busy farming outside and later started a small business to support the family.

He had been filial to his mother for more than twenty years, and that was enough.

Since his mother was unkind, he could only be unjust.

"Dad is right, we won't stop you!" Liang Shoujiang rubbed his hands excitedly.

Dad finally stood up and stopped being bullied by grandma and uncle! Dad is the most powerful one at this moment!

Old Lady Liang stopped crying and scolded, "Are you still a human being? How dare you treat your own mother like this?"

"You also know that you are your husband's biological mother?" Shen Yuefu couldn't help but speak, "These years, you have tormented us whenever you have something to do, and you also tormented us whenever you have nothing to do. Your husband will try his best to give you whatever you want, and he will never disobey you, but how do you do it? Do you act like a mother?"

"You are so rebellious! Even you dare to lecture me!" Old Mrs. Liang simply sat on the ground and started crying.

Liang Yuanwang looked at her coldly, "Don't cry, from now on, you will not be raised by me, go to your second brother's place."

Hearing this, Liang Huanxue's dark eyes widened.

Daddy did a great job! This kind of person just can't give her a good face!

"Well, you dare to bully me like this," Old Lady Liang saw that no matter what she did, she couldn't pretend anymore. She stood up, glared at the people, and walked out with her crutches, "You unfilial thing, you will be struck by lightning!"

"You're the one who got struck by lightning!" Liang Shoujiang took two steps forward and shouted, "Lightning is only meant to strike you!"

Liang Huanxue gave her second brother a thumbs up and smiled, praising him: "Good scolding."

Liang Shoujiang raised his eyebrows proudly.

My sister usually doesn't talk much, but now she's praising him! She's even smiling at him!

Ahhh! So happy!

"He's a bad talker. Xue'er, don't learn from him." Liang Weijiang rubbed his sister's head and said sourly.

Even Xue'er had never smiled at him like that.

The little girl sensed that he was jealous, so she stretched out her short hand and shook it, "Big brother, hold me."

"Okay!" Liang Weijiang's face, which was sour just now, suddenly turned into a smile. He picked up his sister and tossed her twice as if teasing her.

"Fly! Take off!"

Now it was Liang Shoujiang's turn to feel jealous.

Is he a mean person? He has a very sweet mouth. His parents all say that he is good at coaxing people.

Shen Yuefu looked at her three children with a kind smile.

Seeing Liang Yuanwang standing at the door in a daze, she asked softly, "Husband, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Liang Yuanwang cheered up, "Pick up your bags and let's get going."

Half of the households in the village had already left, so they were considered the last to leave.

After leaving the village, we walked on the mountain road for several hours, until dusk, when we finally turned into a wider and flatter road.

As it was getting dark, the family found a cave to stay in.

Liang Yuanwang went outside and found a pile of dry firewood, and soon started a fire. Shen Yuefu took out a sweet potato and three eggs and prepared to roast them.

When it was time to really put it on the grill to roast, she hesitated again and put an egg back.

Anyway, she is not that hungry, so it is okay for her to eat less. The food is too little, so the more she can save, the better.

Liang Huanxue was dozing off in her eldest brother's arms. She smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and woke up with a sniff.

Seeing the sweet potato and two eggs shrunken by the fire, I couldn't help but swallow a handful of bitter tears.

It's so miserable for a family of five to have such little food for one meal, and only two meals a day.

"Mom, I'll give you half of my egg. I'm not that hungry."

The sweet potato was originally quite large, but the five people in the family each took a small piece, so the portion they got was only the size of half a palm.

Divide the eggs in half, each person takes half, and naturally one person will get nothing.

Liang Weijiang felt sorry for his mother, so he gave her his.

"For mom." Liang Huanxue really had no appetite.

Two days ago, I was enjoying delicacies from land and sea in a high-end hotel, and today I ate this. The psychological gap is so huge.

Moreover, the original owner's body had not fully recovered. He was still running a low fever, had a bitter taste in his mouth, and had no appetite.

If it wasn't for maintaining her vital signs, she wouldn't even bother eating this sweet potato.

Liang Shoujiang had opened his mouth to eat, but when he saw that his sister was so sensible, he felt ashamed and quickly passed his food to her.

"I'm not very hungry either."

Shen Yuefu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. It would be worth it even if she starved to death to have such filial children.

Seeing that his mother was about to refuse, Liang Shoujiang had an idea: "How about this, everyone gives mother a small piece, then we don't have to go hungry, and mother doesn't have to go hungry either."

"You're smart now." Liang Weijiang joked and prepared to break off an egg.

At this moment, I heard a few "cluck" sounds coming from outside.

It's a rooster's cry!

Shen Yuefu and her two siblings all looked towards the cave entrance.

Liang Yuanwang came in with a smile on his face, holding a pheasant with fluttering wings in one hand and two hares kicking their hind legs in the other.

"Look what I caught?"

He had just gone out to collect firewood, but unexpectedly a rabbit suddenly jumped out from the pile of dry grass. Just as he caught the rabbit, a chicken popped out.

It was so magical that he thought he was dreaming.

"All the grass and trees on the mountain have died, so how come there are still wild rabbits and pheasants?" Shen Yuefu widened her beautiful eyes and pinched herself secretly.

It hurts, not a dream!

Liang Shoujiang took the rabbit and weighed it, his eyes sparkling: "It's so fat! I can eat it for several meals!"

Maybe God felt sorry for their family and sent the rabbit and the chicken to save them?

It must be like this!

"Eat meat." Liang Huanxue pointed at the pheasant.

She now prefers to eat chicken. She has never eaten rabbit meat before, so she has no desire for it.

Liang Yuanwang saw that this strict father couldn't help but smile at his daughter when he saw her eager look.

"Then listen to Xiao Xueer and eat the chicken first."

Liang Huanxue clapped her hands with joy, while Liang Shoujiang danced with excitement, shouting, "We have meat to eat! Aaah! We can finally eat meat!"

Starting from the second year of the famine, his family could no longer afford to eat meat.

Originally, Liang Yuanwang had some savings, which was enough to support his family through the famine.

But that year the old lady pretended to be sick and swindled more than half of her savings to pay off her youngest son's gambling debts. From then on, his family's quality of life plummeted.
