She didn't care about other people's lives, and vented the malice and anger in her heart like spraying venom.
But I overlooked one thing.
No one can tolerate someone's groundless insults and bullying forever, not even their own parents. When someone is suppressed to the extreme for a long time, the energy that erupts will be even more terrifying.
Boss Xiao held the thin child in his arms and heard the string of curses she uttered, as if he was back to that desperate night.
Without saying a word, he ran to the utility room, got an axe, rushed up with red eyes and chopped at his mother's head.
He said he had endured enough and that the worst that could happen was that they all died together rather than live.
Everyone was shocked. His wife and brother rushed over, one holding his waist and the other holding his legs, and only then did they force him to change direction.
The axe hit the door crookedly, and a hole was smashed in the door panel next to it, which shows how much strength he used.
Xiao's mother was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. When she saw someone trying to stop them, she opened her mouth and wanted to curse again.
But Boss Xiao's eyes were so cold and filled with an unfamiliar murderous intent that she didn't even have the courage to bluff.
The neighbors who came out to watch the excitement were all frightened, and people from the street office were called in to mediate.
Boss Xiao just left a message: either split up the family or everyone would die together. He would rather starve to death outside or beg for food than stay in this family.
Xiao's mother immediately exploded, cursing and swearing for a long time, and threatened him not to take a penny out, trying to make him give up the idea.
But she underestimated Boss Xiao's determination and chose to leave the house with nothing.
Xiao's mother originally thought that she still had the second son to take care of her in her old age, but then she heard that the second son also wanted to separate from the family. He also didn't want anything and just wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife.
After a long period of persuasion from the street office, both sides compromised and decided that the Xiao family's house would not be divided and would be left to their parents, but the two brothers had to take enough food and money for the division of the family property.
Correspondingly, when their parents grow old, they should fulfill their responsibility to support them.
On the day of the separation, they hurriedly moved out with their families, without even staying for one more night. It was obviously a premeditated plan.
Everyone around was saying that Xiao's mother was not in her right mind, her youngest son ran away, and her eldest son was almost driven crazy. But the one in the middle chose to stand on his wife's side without hesitation.
What’s the point of having many sons if you don’t raise them? They will probably freeze to death on the streets and no one will collect their bodies.
Xiao's mother has a bad temper, and every time she hears something like that, she rushes over and starts a fight.
But there are always many people who bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that there are only two people left in her family and no one to support her, they no longer tolerate her. They either put their hands on their hips and curse at her, or chase her away with a broom.
Perhaps only when it is late at night and everyone is asleep will she regret her previous actions.
…
"Take it."
Fang Wanggui handed over a bag of candied fruit, which seemed to be dried plums, and smelled of a faint herbal fragrance and honey.
“Where did you buy it?”
"No, you can't buy it. I made it myself. Haven't you had a poor appetite recently?
The exclusive recipe my master gave me, with a few herbs and honey, can strengthen the spleen, stimulate the appetite and aid digestion. Pregnant women can also eat it, but they should not eat too much at one time."
"Thanks."
He Ruixue took it with surprise, picked up a plum and put it in her mouth. It was not too sweet, and it tasted like mellow honey.
When the sugar on the surface melts, the sourness of the plums and a little bit of spicy ginger juice become prominent.
You can also taste the sour aroma of dried tangerine peel and the sweetness of licorice. It is much more complex than the simple flavor of candied plums, but without the offensive medicinal taste.
The sour and sweet taste fills the entire mouth, making people salivate and appetite increase.
"It's delicious. How long did it take you to make it?" As she said that, she stuffed another piece into her mouth.
"From when you first got pregnant, right? After it was made, it was marinated for a while."
He rested his hands on the armrests of the chair, his posture relaxed, and jokingly said, "Don't thank me too much. I'm using you as a training ground. When Zhenzhen has a child, I'll be more experienced in taking care of her."
He Ruixue pretended to be angry and glared at him, "Okay, you're really using me as a guinea pig! If you want to be your uncle so much, you have to be willing to marry her off. Otherwise, how can she give birth alone?"
Fang Zhenzhen was already quite old when she first moved in, and now she is one of the few older women in the area.
The people in the subdistrict office thought that the Fang family wanted to keep her to earn money for the family for two more years and were reluctant to marry her off, so they went to their house several times to persuade them.
Unfortunately, the Fang family situation is complicated, and Fang Guoxiang, as a father, cannot interfere in his daughter's marriage.
Yang Ruoqing was also anxious at first, but later, seeing that she was unyielding, he thought that his failed marriage had affected the child, so he simply stopped caring and went to grieve on his own.
Fang Yongfu and his wife moved out early in their lives.
The older their children get, the less they look like their cheap dad.
Fang Yongfu tried a few times, and he probably had a rough idea of what was going on. He went back to his old ways and had a few tantrums at home.
Qin Xia felt guilty, so she endured it.
But one time she was beaten in front of her child, which scared the child so much that he cried loudly. She could no longer bear it and disappeared for half a month.
After this, Fang Yongfu suddenly realized that it was not her who needed to rely on him, but he had to rely on them, mother and daughter.
Otherwise, given his current situation, who would be willing to marry in and take care of him?
In his eyes, having a daughter is equivalent to cutting off one's roots, so it doesn't matter whether she is his own or not.
Besides, he will probably have to rely on his daughter for support in his old age.
After realizing that there was no blood relationship between them, Fang Yongfu became more patient with his daughter and paid more attention to his work.
After all, he had to make preparations for both scenarios. If the child was unreliable, he could only rely on the money he had saved for his coffin.
