"Okay then, just make your own plans," said Aunt Xiumei. Seeing that Sheng Yanchuan had arranged everything properly, Aunt Xiumei felt for the first time that she was useless...
Aunt Xiumei and Uncle Sheng only chatted with Nanqiao in the living room in the afternoon. They didn't dare to walk around in other rooms. Although it was their son's house, maybe the family was too wealthy.
Aunt Xiumei and her husband were somewhat restrained. They waited until the peach blossoms came back from the snow and had a meal at home before going home.
Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao originally wanted to let them stay overnight and go back the next morning, but Aunt Xiumei was a little uncomfortable and refused to stay here no matter what. So Sheng Yanchuan gave the bicycle to Uncle Sheng and let them ride back. He didn't have any plans to go out during this period, and he didn't need the bicycle.
Seeing off Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xiumei, Nanqiao continued to teach Taohua, while Sheng Yanchuan was responsible for washing the pot and boiling water.
On the way back to the village, Aunt Xiumei sat in the back seat, thinking about the things in Chuanzi's house, and couldn't help but say, "Old man, you said Chuanzi's house was so warm, I saw that they were heating, and when I went to the toilet, I saw so much coal piled up in the next room. What do you think of the life that Chuanzi and Qiaoqiao are living? Can Chuanzi really afford it?"
"Even if you can't afford it, you have to support her. I found my own wife." Uncle Sheng was somewhat dissatisfied with the way these two lived, especially when he thought about the life of his eldest son's family. Uncle Sheng felt even more uncomfortable.
How can they be so different even though they are both his sons?
Aunt Xiumei also heard the displeasure in her old man's words, and asked tentatively, "In the afternoon, Gaixian said a few words to me, and I think it seems that it is not impossible."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Uncle Sheng looked at the road conditions carefully, and listened to Aunt Xiumei's words while riding his bike.
"Huiping and the others wanted to split up the family because they thought we were biased. But now, Chuanzi and the others only come back from town occasionally, so they see each other less often and have fewer conflicts. I think it's not impossible to bring the eldest brother and his family back to live together, right?"
After Aunt Xiumei finished speaking, she saw that Uncle Sheng didn't say anything, so she quickly added:
"If you think it's not possible, just pretend I didn't say anything. I feel sorry for Junzi. Every time I see him, I feel that he should be thinner. If he continues like this, his body won't be able to bear it. I think if we ask them to come back, take back the money and notes in their hands, and we take care of them, their lives will be better."
"What about Chuanzi?"
"Chuanzi..." Aunt Xiumei muttered, paused, and continued after a while, "They rarely come back now. Besides, considering the current conditions of Chuanzi and Qiaoqiao, they probably don't care about these people."
"Besides, we old couple need someone to take care of us in our old age. Are we really going to follow Chuanzi's family to Shanghai?" Aunt Xiumei's every word was not very confident, but it was as if she was trying to convince herself. Every time she put forward an opinion, she gave an explanation.
"Let's go back and see what Junzi means. If he agrees, then we can talk to Chuanzi."
"Okay," Aunt Xiumei replied, and she thought about going to the next door to ask Junzi's opinion early tomorrow morning. But although she had made up her mind, she didn't know why she always felt a little uneasy.
The next morning, Aunt Xiumei went to Sheng Yanjun's house. This was the first time Aunt Xiumei visited him after the two families separated.
Yesterday, because we were going to the town to see Nanqiao, we asked Huiping to pick up Yaya. Aunt Xiumei also came here to pick up Yaya.
As soon as Aunt Xiumei entered the house, she saw her dark and thin eldest son and the messy house, and her originally wavering mind gradually became firm.
"Junzi, I have something to tell you. It's up to you whether you are willing to talk to me or not."
"Mom, what's the matter?" Sheng Yanjun tidied up the things on the kang, asked Aunt Xiumei to sit on it, and added some firewood to make it warmer. Then he moved a stool and sat down in front of Aunt Xiumei.
"You know what your life is like now, so I thought, if you are willing, you can move back and live here, and we can continue to live the same as before. If nothing else, at least you two don't have to live such a mess." Aunt Xiumei said, looking around the room with disdain. Not only were there clothes scattered everywhere, but there was also a faint unpleasant smell.
Since Aunt Xiumei came into the room, Huiping only called her "Mom" softly and didn't say anything else. When she heard Aunt Xiumei's words, Huiping started to think about it again. Fearing that Sheng Yanjun would refuse, Huiping quickly interrupted and said, "Mom, we are willing. We will live a good life in the future and won't make trouble anymore."
Huiping gave Aunt Xiumei the previous division agreement as if to prove her sincerity, but she did not mention how to deal with the money bills given to them by the previous division.
Aunt Xiumei looked at her angrily, saying, what's the use of giving her this? She should just return the more than 200 yuan she had.
"Let me be frank with you. If you continue to cause trouble like before, you will all be kicked out of the house. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
"Mom..." Sheng Yanjun frowned, not quite agreeing with this. The money had already been divided, so there was no reason to go back. What's more, there was not much money left. Thinking of this, Sheng Yanjun turned around and glared at Huiping. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
Being glared at by Sheng Yanjun, Hui Ping shrank back guiltily, and then she puffed up her stomach again to give herself courage.
Aunt Xiumei noticed the two's little thoughts, but she was too lazy to argue with them and just talked about her own conditions.
