Chapter 64 Sad
"Mom, you and Dad must have beaten me into a stubborn person!"
Xu Laoer feels so wronged.
Didn’t he just tell the truth?
"Thank God I didn't beat you into a fool!"
Old Mrs. Xu was so angry.
She had indeed decided to let Xu Laosan and Wang Shi move out, hoping that out of sight, out of mind. But could she really say such things out loud? Her foolish son, who had no sense of propriety, hadn't been beaten enough!
Of course, not wanting to argue with Wang is only one aspect.
The fact that Xu Laosan and Wang Shi could only see each other once or twice a month was not a proper way to go. Before, their family didn't have the financial resources, so they had to put up with it.
Now that the family has income, it is really not a big deal to buy a small courtyard in the county town for Xu Laosan and his wife.
By then, it will be just the young couple living there, and Wang will understand how difficult life is.
"Mom, if my third brother and his wife live in the city, won't they have to run back to my mother's house every day?"
"Third brother might just end up being the son-in-law of the Wang family!"
"Are you willing to do that?"
Xu Lao Er glanced at Old Lady Xu, expressing his concern in another way.
Old Madam Xu chuckled and said, "If your third brother becomes the son-in-law of the Wang family so easily, I will just pretend I never gave birth to this son. Without him, can't you and your eldest brother still take care of your father and me until the end of our lives?"
"That's definitely not possible!"
Xu Lao Er chuckled, "Mom, I was just thinking, if you let my third brother's wife live with me in the city like this, I'm afraid my third brother's life will be difficult!"
"Even if it's sad, you have to get through it!"
"Your father and I raised him to this age. Do we have to take care of him for the rest of his life?"
Old Madam Xu spoke indignantly, "And you and the eldest brother too, don't expect your father and I to take care of you forever!"
"Mom, you don't want to split up the family and kick us out, do you?"
"Mom, I didn't offend you!"
"My wife didn't offend you, she listens to you the most!"
"Just shut up!"
Old Madam Xu raised her hand to hit him again, but Old Second Xu had learned his lesson this time and darted to the door, avoiding Old Madam Xu's slap.
Old Mrs. Xu raised her finger and pointed at her second son, and the topic ended there.
…
By mid-afternoon, Mr. Xu and his friends had finally finished their drinks and meals.
Mr. Wang took Cao away drunkenly.
Wang's aggrieved look of reluctance to leave almost forced Cao to stay at Old Xu's house to help with her daughter's confinement. It was only after Mr. Wang spoke harshly that Cao was finally allowed to leave.
When Old Lady Xu saw that Wang-shi looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, she was so angry that her liver ached.
She has always been very tolerant towards her daughter-in-law.
Considering that there were so many children in the family and the daughters-in-law had to stay in confinement after childbirth, the family even bought four little girls in succession for fear that they would not be able to take good care of them.
But Wang's behavior made her look like a wicked mother-in-law who would mistreat her daughter-in-law.
Previously, Wang Shi had changed a lot, which made Old Lady Xu very happy for a while. But not long after, Wang Shi changed again.
Old Mrs. Xu was really sad.
Of her three daughters-in-law, she was actually the most partial to Wang. Because Wang married down and the third Xu was often away from home. But now, Mrs. Xu suddenly realized that there were some people whose hearts she really couldn't warm.
Forget it, forget it, let’s just do as she thought before, out of sight, out of mind.
