Qiao Xin was born to be a man of action, and she didn't want to wait even a moment. She shouted into the yard, "Boss's wife, is Boss back yet?"
[Mom, you called me? ]
Qiao Yunxin walked in from outside. His tall figure blocked the low gatehouse tightly, and the light in the room became even darker.
Qiao Xin suppressed his discomfort for a moment and directly ordered, "Go to the town at noon and call your third and second brothers back. Tell them that I have something to talk to you about. Also bring ten coins of incense oil and paper money."
Qiao Yunxin was somewhat stunned. Why was she thinking of buying candles and straw paper during such a non-holiday season? But when she thought about how her mother fainted for no apparent reason after returning from the county today, she thought that her mother was asking for some kind of god's blessing!
[Open the cabinet and take out fifty coins. Buy some brown rice for the child! ]
Qiao Yunxin opened the box and saw that there were only a little over a hundred coins left in the huge box. He hesitated, "Mom, why don't we buy millet and bran? There's still half of the time left until next month."
[No, we can just eat whatever we want in the future. I'll figure out the money issue. The most important thing is to survive. We adults are fine, but look at Dalang and his kids. If they continue to live like this, they'll almost die.]
Qiao Xin no longer planned to live a miserable life like her original self, and she flatly rejected her eldest son's proposal!
Calling the sons back means telling them everything, and we can discuss the future path together.
Speaking of children, Qiao Yunxin did not refute and did as he was told.
.......
【Brother, why are you here? 】
When Qiao Yunqing heard the servant say that his elder brother came to see him, he was a little bit incredulous. But now he saw the real person at the entrance of the school and couldn't help asking.
His mother would not allow anyone to disturb him unless there was something going on. Besides, there was still half a month left before the end of the month when he had to send money home!
Qiao Yunqing's gaze turned to his eldest brother, and seeing the candle and yellow paper in his hands, he lowered his eyes but did not ask any more questions.
[Our mother asked you and the third child to go back immediately, saying that she has something to discuss.]
【All go back? Do you know why?】
Qiao Yunxin shook his head, but he was not without worry. "I don't know either, but my mother fainted after returning from the county this morning. Doctor Zhao said that she was too weak and was stimulated. My mother didn't say anything, so I didn't hesitate to ask."
When Qiao Yunqing heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, but then suppressed them, "She fainted. Have you called a doctor?"
Qiao Yunxin hurriedly comforted him, "I found him. Doctor Zhao said that it would be fine if I took more supplements. He didn't even prescribe any medicine. You will know when you go back and take a look."
Qiao Yunqing did not ask any more questions, and remained indifferent. Even Qiao Yunxin, who was usually a bit thick-skinned, felt that his second brother was a bit abnormal. He looked at his second brother frequently, wanting to ask but not knowing how to.
Qiao Yunqing naturally saw his elder brother's little action, [Anything else, elder brother? ]
[It’s okay, it’s okay, remember to come back early, I’m going to teach my third brother! ] After saying that, he left without looking back.
Watching his elder brother leave, Qiao Yunqing stood still on the steps, not hiding his sarcasm: "He's sick, maybe he's crazy with joy? It's a pity that he will never let her decide their fate again."
Being stupid all his life is enough, so he should repay the kindness of raising him in another way. He will protect his eldest brother and third brother in this life...
Qiao Yunxin found his third brother carrying a backpack at the dock. He told him about the situation at home. Qiao Yunting could not wait any longer. He ran to tell the water steward and wanted to rush back.
The other party was a kind person and did not make things difficult for him. Knowing that his mother was ill, the plumber even paid him in advance and gave him some snacks to take home. The two brothers were so happy that they bowed to him repeatedly to express their gratitude.
The three brothers entered the house at dusk. They thought they would see a miserable scene. But they found their old mother sitting in the yard calmly, feeding chickens with old cabbage leaves. When she saw them enter, she just raised her eyelids.
"Everyone is back. Let's wash up and eat first. We can talk later if there's anything else. My eldest daughter-in-law, cook a chicken for each of us tonight."
Xu said with some embarrassment: "Mother, there are only ten left. I will cook five and save the rest to exchange for some food."
"They're all cooked, one for each person. I know the food situation. Boss, give the brown rice you bought to your wife, and cook some more so that everyone can have a full meal in the evening."
Qiao Yunqing looked at the adoptive mother in front of him. She seemed to be the same person, but why was the situation different?
Qiao Xin was such a perceptive person that she noticed someone was staring at her and when she looked up it turned out to be the second brother!
[What's wrong, second brother? Is there any problem? ]
[Son, I'm fine. Is mother feeling unwell?] Qiao Yunqing lowered his eyes in a respectful manner.
Qiao Xin already felt that this intelligent son was cold and distant beneath his polite appearance towards her.
Oh, what did he find? He is indeed the original owner's favorite son!
The mother-in-law was so generous today that even the usually thick-skinned Xu felt something was wrong. The old lady had never been so generous before. She usually calculated every grain of rice very clearly! If they wanted to cook more, they would still be accused of not knowing how to live and being reincarnated as starving ghosts.
[Sister-in-law, what happened to mother today? ] The fire in the fire pit showed Zhang's surprised expression. It was as if the mother-in-law had suddenly changed, and they accepted their incompetence instead.
"I guess mother has thought it through. Who doesn't want to have enough food to eat?" Although Zhang is not very smart, her intuition is rarely wrong.
[Will we be able to eat our fill every day in the future? ]
[That also requires mother's permission for husband and his family to find more work! ]
Yes, even if they picked up the skill of hunting, they would not be without meat all year round. I really don't know what's wrong with my mother-in-law?
